"My husky Smudge was boarded for about 2 weeks at this facility and she had a fantastic time. She suffers with separation anxiety but every update photo I was sent she looked happy as can be. I'll definitely be using them again for our next trip!"
"We've been boarding and taking our pup to daycare here for about two years and could not be happier. Bear enjoys staying and the staff is always happy to see him. Highest recommendation!"
"I only trust my animals to Ridgeside Tidewater and you should too. The staff is amazing and exceptionally knowledgeable. They also have the most comfortable and safe complex in the industry."
"My 8-month-old puppy Mae boarded for 3 weeks. Leaving her was hard but after the first week, I saw she was thriving. Daily walks and playtime with a friend's dog too. I strongly recommend Ridgeside!"
"Excellent customer service. Our dogs love going there. It's their favorite place to go when we go out of town."
"Been using them for daycare and boarding for over a year. Easy check in and out process, 10/10."
