Our dog is reactive, can be aggressive, and doesn't warm up to people easily. Finding someone we…read moretrusted felt impossible. Then we found Deena. She has been an absolute godsend. Her patience, calm demeanor, and genuine love for animals are evident in everything she does. She took the time to understand our dog, respected his boundaries, and earned his trust in a way very few people ever have. Because of Deena, I'm able to work outside the home and even take vacations knowing my dog is safe, loved, and cared for like one of her own. That peace of mind is priceless. What started as a dog sitter relationship has turned into so much more. Deena has become my dog's biggest advocate and one of my dear friends. We are forever grateful for her kindness, dedication, and the love she gives our pup every single day. If you're looking for someone to care for your pet, especially one with special needs or behavioral challenges, I cannot recommend Deena highly enough.

I started out living this daycare and Fiona was great but her mom apparently started helping out…read moremore and was not nearly as attentive. My dog was attacked by another during his 8 hr daycare stay. We picked him up at around 4pm and later found out that this happened at around noon. We were not notified and my dog was not taken to vet. When we picked him up we immediately noticed he was limping and she (Fionas mom) LIED. I put my foot down and inspected him on their front lawn and found the pictured wound actively bleeding. She continued to lie saying nothing happened and she doesn't know how that got there and even tried saying it happened before we dropped him off (when he was perfectly fine at drop off and I KNOW there were no wounds because I brushed him RIGHT BEFORE dropping him off so I would have seen it). Only after we left and took him to an emergency vet did we get a text from Fiona saying that a dog jumped on him, attacking him and had to be pulled off my dog. This is a very condensed version of the full story but they were deceptive and didn't have my dog's well being in mind as he would have been taken to vet immediately - not laying in pain bleeding for 4 hours. Think twice before entrusting your babies to this daycare.

Joey is always excited when we are pulling up the driveway to SM! While away this most recent trip we changed our plans to extend our vacation, Jennifer allowed Joey to extent his stay which made our time much more relaxing and enjoyable! Upon pick-up Joey was happy, healthy and clearly had been well cared for during his stay.

Before choosing Sugar Maple Farm, we spent a lot of time researching the best possible boarding…read moreoptions in Virginia. The abundance of 5-star reviews reassured us, and we even scheduled a one-night trial stay to test it before our longer family trip. During that visit, we were promised strong communication, regular photo updates, and a high standard of care while we were away. Sadly, our actual experience was the complete opposite. While traveling in Asia, we were told we'd receive regular updates. Instead, we got only three photos over a span of 10 days--and only after multiple follow ups and texts from our side. The lack of communication and unease made it difficult for any of us to enjoy our trip and we knew something was not right. When it came time for pickup, the owner was not even present. Just a few hours before we landed, we received a text informing us that our dog was injured and her teenage son would be there for pick up. There was no explanation, no phone call, no attempt to take responsibility, and not a single follow-up to check on how she was doing after. It felt cold, negligent, and deeply unprofessional. We later learned the injury was a torn ACL requiring surgery. What's most upsetting is that we had clearly disclosed a prior ACL injury in the intake paperwork--on the opposite leg. That information was either ignored or not reviewed at all. There was no transparency, no apology, and absolutely no concern for how serious the injury was. We chose Sugar Maple Farm because we wanted a safe and trusted place. When something went wrong, there was no accountability--only deflection. That trust was completely broken. It's devastating to watch our dog struggle with pain and limited mobility, and to know she now faces a 12-15 week recovery from a surgery that may have been preventable with proper care. We came home expecting to see her happy and healthy. Instead, we're managing a serious injury with no answers on what happened. If you value your dog's safety and well-being, I urge you to look elsewhere. Sugar Maple Farm may have glowing reviews, but our experience was proof that when things go wrong, this facility does not step up.

Getting an appointment here was very easy, and as long as you have your dog's paperwork she is very accommodating. Compared to some experiences I have had washing my dog at bigger companies like Unleashed, this was an easier process to deal with overall. Also, since it is a smaller business and less dogs are generally around. It makes it easier to self wash your dog since there are less distractions. In summary, it is a great local small business with an energetic but understanding owner, and pretty reasonably priced with the ability to self wash your dog.

He was an older dog so they didn't blow dry him because it was to traumatic for him to have that done to him. So they would put him in a spacious cage that warm air would flow through to dry him.

I now take my Yorkie Max there. Yorkies normally have sensitive skin, and when I've taken him to places like Petsmart he gotten a bad rash, more than likely because their cages are FILTHY! But not pet wash, they are very sanitary! Max always looks amazing when he come from there... he's already a cutie pie, but he look even cuter after leaving Pet Wash!
