Dog Sitting in Alexandria Wrest

We love this service! They took excellent care of our guinea pigs while we were in Europe. Guinea pigs require lots of special care, including a diet with nutritional and vitamin needs, fresh vegetables, fresh water, unlimited hay for digestion, and daily/weekly cage cleanings. Passionately Pets did a stellar job at caring for our furry little friends. Their daily pet journal with photos and special notes on their visits with our pets was a fantastic way to see and read about how our fur potatoes were doing. Their prices were very reasonable, their care was top quality, and their customer service was the best. They also took care of a few other services such as bringing in mail and packages, bringing in the trash cans, and turning off/on lights in the house while we were gone to give the house a "lived-in" appearance while we were gone. On a special note, our pet caretaker was even concerned enough to run to the grocery store to pick up some fresh veggies for our pigs when he ran out. We loved Passionately Pets service and felt our pets were in competent hands. We have used Passionately Pets during two vacations and know that we can trust their services to care for our precious furry little buddies in the furure

Passionately Pets is amazing! We have a tiny puppy and they are the only ones we could find that were willing to come twice per day to let him out for potty breaks and a walk. Plus, they have the same person come most days, which is better for my puppy - rather than always having to meet someone new. They send updates after each walk and the pics are adorable. I trust them completely and would not use anyone else!

Passionately pets has been the best decision we have made since moving back to Arlington. They have been outstanding with meeting our needs and leaving us feeling reassured about getting out of town for a few days as we have a cat that has specific medical needs. Alex has visited our home twice and has done a fantastic job providing real time feedback while we are away. Jenna and Vanna have both been terrific to work with as well. Their website is very easy to use and the consistent updates and support have been wonderful for us. We are looking forward to continuing to work with their entire team!!!

I recently used Passionately Pets to care for my kitten while I was out of town, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the start, Vanna, the GM, was wonderful—she came to my home to meet my kitten and me, which instantly put me at ease. The detailed paperwork during sign-up was thorough and gave me so much confidence in their service. Alex was my pet sitter, and he was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly attentive and sweet, leaving daily notes that tracked my kitten's temperament and how they spent their time together. I especially loved the daily journals Alex submitted after each visit, complete with photos, which made me feel connected and reassured while I was away. Passionately Pets provided top-notch care, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitting service!

Passionately pets are truly amazing. I’m not sure how they do it (probably great training) but we have had many different sitters from them over the years and each one is fantastic! We never have to worry that our cats are well cared for while we are out of town- they give lots of playtime and love in addition to feeding. The management team is also amazing- helping us find last minute sitters and even having options as we prepared to welcome our daughter. I cant say enough good things about Passionately Pets!

I had a GREAT experience with Passionately Pets! I left for a long weekend and was very nervous to leave my new rescue pup with a stranger, but Ashley (our dog sitter) was wonderful! She came and met my dog before I went away and sent detailed reports and pictures from every visit. My dog can be wary of strangers, but he absolutely adored Ashley. Our neighbors had a little party one night and she even thought to turn on soothing music for him to drown out the scary sounds so he could sleep peacefully. I am so glad to finally find a place I can trust to walk/watch my dogs! Can't recommend them enough!

Thanksgiving break was my first time using their pet sitting services and they absolutely exceeded my expectations! Passionately Pets is very trustworthy and they are now my go-to for pet care. I highly recommend them .Specifically, Vanna is the best!!!

Vanna just stayed with our dog, Marty for two nights with pop-ins during the day while we went out of town for a wedding. I was nervous because we've always had family watch our pets but we recently moved here from out of state so that's no longer an option. Passionately Pets was very responsive to my initial inquiry and set up a meet and greet before I booked the service. Vanna walked me through their different services, patiently answered all of my many questions, and went through the profile I set up for Marty. Vanna ended up also being Marty's sitter for the weekend and did a phenomenal job. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend and when we arrived home he was happy and had clearly been well cared for. Marty is still a young dog with puppy energy and is not used to being left for more than 6-7 hours at a time (and never overnight) so I booked the Deluxe Overnight package plus a midday visit each day. The pricing was as advertised on their website. I'm not sure how the cost compares to competitors, but considering that it accounts for 13+ hours/day of time, I thought it was totally worth it for the peace of mind and standard of care that Vanna delivered. 100% I would recommend and will be using Passionately Pets again.

Passionately Pets is fantastic! We have been out of town and Mary has not only taken care of our sweet bunny Dhalia, but our garden on this hot weekend! I look forward to her notes and pictures when we are working or out of town. I also know how much Dhalia appreciates passionately pets especially when she gets love, attention, cuddles, treats, and bunny run time! We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reputable and reliable pet sitter or service

I went out of town for a few days and this was my first time booking through Passionately Pets based on a referral. From the consultation to the actual pet sitting service, everything was seamless. Great communication, friendly service, plenty of pictures, and my cat was taken great care of! Olivia did a great job. I will definitely book again when necessary.

This team takes fantastic care of my senior dog, and has always been able to squeeze us in even when my work schedule gets unpredictable! I love the thorough updates and photos they send after every visit to walk my dog, and I feel very confident that she will be well cared for by anyone who works for Alexandria Pet Care. Lucky to have found this service!

I can not say enough good things about the team at Alexandria Pet Care. I have the pleasure of being both a client and a supplier for them. They take amazing care of our three crazy, goofy, four legged kids. If we have special needs, instructions or requests they always take care to help with them. This same care is true in the relationship with them as a supplier too. I always know my dogs will be well cared for and that I will be too. I highly recommend and trust the team at Alexandria Pet Care.

We have used Alexandria Pet Care numerous times to pet-sit our cat, and we have always had a great experience. They are extremely conscientious and always do a fantastic job. They have our trust and strong recommendation.

Frazier (my very unique boxer) and I moved to VA this fall. It’s been a big transition and Alexandria Pet Care has been instrumental in Frazier’s adjustment. Always detailed/fast communication, excellent recommendations for other pet services in the area, and he adores all of his sitters. We highly recommend!

We have been using Alexandria Pet Care for the past year and they have been great. Andy took care of our cat this past week and he did a great job. The front office is very responsive and their website is very easy to use with scheduling visits and paying invoices.

I have been using Alexandria Pet Care services for my cat and this company has been more than reliable! Ronnie has been an amazing cat sitter for my cat Selena. I never have to worry when booking. They also have a perfect system through an app where you can book services and communicate easily. They also have excellent customer service. I’m glad I found their services and I definitely recommend!

Alexandria Pet Care is wonderful! Their team has taken the time to help support my pets and always handles them kindness. These folks really love animals and go the extra mile to make sure the pets are cared for.

We had a wonderful experience with Alexandria Pet Care and are very pleased with their services! We left our cats in their care for five days during a holiday weekend, during which we got updates for each visit and were able to see the times they visited, all of which were within timeframes requested. They also sent cute pictures and went above and beyond in every way. They provided excellent care and we came home to a lovely journal documenting their visits and funny ways our cats behaved. We loved their professional team approach, and we will definitely use them again. Thank you, Alexandria Pet Care!!

Alexandria Pet Care has been so helpful for our dog. We scheduled 4 in home one-on-one sessions for our newly adopted puppy last year and it was so helpful for her. She was reactive towards other dogs and people but after just one session our dog made so much progress. Alex, the trainer, also taught us the best way to help with her anxiety and how to continue making progress with her after our 4 sessions were completed. Alex has also been helpful answering questions via email since our sessions have ended, and at no charge.

The APC Team's kindness and attention were truly exceptional. They provided extraordinary care to our fur babies, treating them as if they were their own. Their commitment to meeting us and collecting comprehensive information before starting services ensured seamless and thoughtful care. Additionally, the adorable photos they took of our pups in action were a delightful bonus. They are who we call to care for our precious pups.

A Thank You to Lauren and the Story of an Ex-Reactive Rescue Dog ✨ Oh, it was such a joy to finally take my favorite rescue dog, Nessa (an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois), home after a month of walks at the shelter. It was exciting because she was our first dog ever. But after just 5 days, we started noticing serious problems: endless barking (I'm not exaggerating when I say 500 times a day), reactivity towards dogs/people/cats/birds, protective behavior, pulling on the leash, restlessness at home, uncontrollable behavior, it felt dangerous... To be honest, after 10 days, we considered bringing her back to the shelter. We felt so incapable and thought someone else could handle it better. This was not at all the dog we had dreamed of. But then came the turning point. We desperately called Lauren, who guided us from A to Z. Thanks to her help, Nessa transformed in just a few weeks into a happy, relaxed dog. I never could have dreamed back then that we would have such a wonderful dog now. She can now walk off-leash, is no longer reactive, has found peace, is super obedient, is starting to trust people, and our bond is stronger than ever. If you are struggling, I want to encourage you and let you know there is hope. Don’t be afraid to ask for help because a good relationship with your dog is worth its weight in gold. Charlotte

Amazing trainer, who knows a lot about dogs!!! It’s been great to learn and see her in action. No doubt, 100% recommended!! 👌 …

We have been using Off Collar for kitty visits for about 18 months and have nothing but good things to say. They are responsive and prompt. Thank you for taking such good care of Patches!!

My wife and I are happy we found Lauren and Off Collar. Our Great Pyrenees was impossible to walk, constantly barking at other dogs. Enter Lauren and within a short period of time, our dog was walking by our side, not barking and listening to commands. What a wonderful trainer and walker. Thank you Lauren, we couldn’t have done it without you!!!

We (and our pets) love Off Collar! Lauren, Katherine, and Alyzah are so sweet with our babies. It is hard to find someone to trust with a Great Dane. They are big animals but also very sensitive and require a gentle but firm touch. Our boy is always so excited to get walked by any of them, and we’re glad to have people we can rely on to give him some company midday. Katherine also takes care of our two kittens when we are away for vacation. They are very shy, but last month, they finally came out to say hi to her, so they must have decided in the end they like her after all :) Off Collar is also very understanding of emergencies and flexible, which is hugely helpful because we have variable schedules each month.

I love Off Collar! Lauren has been amazing in coordinating and supporting my senior pup! Alyzah, my pup’s wonderful walker, is so good with him and keeps me informed if she notices anything out of the ordinary. They’ve both been very helpful in allaying my fears after a bad experience with another company! Can’t say enough good thing about Off Collar!

We are so grateful to the Off Collar team for helping take care of our dog! Sandi, our walker, was always prompt, friendly, and so patient with our dog Ivy, who is sometimes scared and anxious. She sent detailed updates after every walk, including photos, and you could just see how happy Ivy was with her. We trust her completely and can't wait to book more walks in the future!

We’ve had a few 1-1 sessions with Lauren to help with our reactive dog, Chloe, as well as monthly pack walks. She has been nothing short of phenomenal and has helped us so much! She taught us the skills and tools to help work with Chloe and we have seen tremendous progress! Additionally, Off Collar is our go-to for pet sitting services. Chloe absolutely adores Katherine who does a great job of making sure our pup is cared for when we are out of town. I can’t speak highly enough about their care and services and would definitely recommend.

I cannot say enough about how awesome Lauren is! She helped me and my dog work through some behavioral issues recently. I was at my wits end with him and had read/watched everything I could find and nothing seemed to be making a difference. After working with Lauren she was able to help identify specific issues, signs to watch for, helped me understand exactly what my dog is trying to tell me and how I am communicating with him. She is so much fun to work with and extremely friendly and knowledgeable. My boy absolutely loves her! She has a wonderful balance of fun and lightheartedness (which removed the stress and frustration we were experiencing) and deliberate corrections and commands. It was awesome to see how well my boy responded to her! I have already recommended her to my friends who were looking for a private trainer and will continue to do so! Thank you, Lauren we both appreciate you!!

Lauren has been great with Karma (dog) and his parents (us). We are learning a lot in such a short amount of time and have already seen a positive difference.

My dog toots loves coming here for daycare. The staff is friendly and helpful. I love that they send daily report cards with photos of her at the end of her visit. Definitely recommend bringing your fur baby here! Thanks District Dogs Alexandria!

My pup is always happy to go to daycare at District Dogs. All the staff is friendly and they seem to genuinely love all the dogs.

Jackie absolutely loves coming to District Dogs on a weekly basis. She comes home happy and tired - exactly what we want for our high energy pup. They have great hours and very responsive customer service. We feel super fortunate that this daycare is close by and so reliable!

Our dog Mack comes here for both daycare and boarding and he always seems to have a great time. We love the open area boarding option because Mack doesn’t do well with traditional boarding in a kennel and seems to do well with boarding here! We appreciate that they have webcams so we can check in on him and love seeing the pictures they take of him throughout his stay.

District Dogs took such great care of my fur baby! Jeff was so patient with her while he groomed her! He did a fantastic job and she looks so great! Upon pick up, I could tell how comfortable she was there and with all the staff.

Took my dog (1yo GSD) for a bath and paid for extra brushing as I know she is shedding right now. Ended up paying $85 and she was still blowing coat like crazy! I brushed her when I got home for 5 minutes and got 8 slicker brushed full of hair off of her! At the very least I would have expected the staff to say something when we picked her up.

Our dog Benjamin loves his buddies at district dogs! He loves his playtime, nap time, and cuddles from his human friends! We love every single person we have met and their care for our dog. We also love that everyday he is there we get a report card with pictures and sometimes videos of his day! We also get our doodle groomed here and Jeff is amazing! This is a great place all around and our family highly recommends them for your buddy’s needs!

My dog runs to daycare! He loves it so much!! Thank you for taking care of him!

Zach, Joe and the Team @ DD, Alexandria always kept me informed how my pups were doing and sent photos everyday of them getting into fun & mischief. Thanks again for taking such great care of them. See you soon! Mark

my Liam always loves being dropped off to have fun with all the dogs! his tail wags a mile a minute. He had a great groom too. Nice to have everything in one place

Took our pup here for his orientation/first day and was impressed with Kevin and the rest of the staff. They're professional, friendly and clearly love dogs. You get to observe how your pooch is introduced to the rest of the pack and can watch as long as you want! Picked him up at the end of the day and he had clearly burned off some energy :) Already booked him for boarding and will definitely bring him back to play with his new friends for the day. Very happy to have found a place where I know he's in good hands.

I really can’t say enough good things about Kevin & the training staff at YDBF - we were so lucky to find them. Our rescue pittie mix was well trained in the basics but fearful of other dogs - given her size and breed, it was a challenge to find a trainer willing to work with us. Kevin was awesome helping our girl get comfortable around other dogs and teaching us how we could help her. He was also did an awesome job answering all of our questions and working with other behaviors around the house. We also found prices very reasonable given all of 1 on 1 time he spent with us. We highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking to train their pups in skills big or small.

Today was our first day here for daycare. I was so impressed by the lead trainer, Kevin and all of the staff were very kind and welcoming. They made me feel very comfortable despite my hesitations with the process. My rescue doodle pup had fun, socialized, made a best friend he played with for 45 minutes, and came home exhausted. The staff was very responsive to cleaning up messes and stopping borderline behaviors of other dogs while I observed the orientation. Can't wait to send him back for more dog fun.

Head trainer Kevin was incredibly welcoming to us and our socially anxious dog. We were able to bring our dog by for a soft, 30min trial to make sure our dog would be ok with the other dogs and new environment. Today was a successful first full day. They have a room with one-way windows that you can watch the play pen from. Staff were friendly, seem to really love the dogs, and appeared to know most of the dogs by name. We’re grateful to have this doggy daycare in the neighborhood!

We have been taking our pup Fred here for a long time and the staff is phenomenal. I highly recommend getting your dog groomed here. The prices are not bad and the groomers are perfect. I have not used their boarding/ daycare services yet but I will use them in the future.

YDBF has been a great resource for me as a dog foster parent. Some of my fosters have not been good candidates for the dog park despite wanting to be social with other dogs. The dogs are always eager to go and tired when they come home, like my foster Jack, who usually slept for 10-12 hours (except for a quick pee break or two) after a day at playcare getting supervised socialization. Now, he's in his forever home with canine siblings, and happy as can be. Jack's behavior at YDBF let us know he could be placed in a home with other dogs without worry. And I'm really thankful I have YDBF available for my fosters. The dogs have a great time. They're supervised. The staff will note their behavior and let you know how your dog behaved. It's been all positive experiences, and I cannot recommend them enough.

The best day care and grooming in northern VA! We continue to use their services since moving into DC. Even if we haven’t gone in a while, the staff still know our pup by name and we love the grooming staff. Very knowledgeable and attentive to our pups needs!!

Emailed on August 21 to book a grooming appointment and the earlies they had available was September 5. Front desk staff asked for updated vaccines and I provided them and requested that she also be booked in for daycare that day since I am flying out for a work trip, and my mother could pick her up after she gets off work in the evening. Brought my dog in the day of the appointment and sometime between when I booked the appointment and dropped her off their policy had changed and they needed an additional vaccine. This was not told to me in the initial email exchange nor via a phone call. They would not take her into daycare, but told me they could "set up a small section of the grooming room" to keep her in until my mother could pick her up. I'm highly disappointed and stressed out that I am out dog care for the day, at the very last minute, on the day that I am flying out on a work trip. Do better.

Britney V did an excellent job grooming our dog. I have been grooming our dog at home because she is so afraid of the groomers, shaking and refusing to go in. Britney was very gentle with her and clearly built up a rapport.

I have been going here for years and they take such great care of the dogs, who they treat as family. My dog was boarding here this weekend while i was out of town and she had a health emergency. I didn't know what to do but the staff was great and went above and beyond to make sure she was okay. They drove her an emergency vet late in the evening, after closing hours, and waited on call late at night to hear from the doctor. She had to stay overnight in the hospital and the staff picked her up the next day (shout out to Yolanda for driving back and forth and being so responsive to my calls). They made me feel so much better knowing my dog was in such great hands and with people who care about her!

I have been bringing my dog Shakespeare to Whole Dogs for the past two years. Shakespeare loves the daycare and their staff. I love how they all know him by first name. The new manger who took over is amazing anytime you bring a concern to her she immediately addressed the situation. My dog is happy to come and he bark at the stuff until they take him to the book quickly. When I see him do that I know they are-taking good care of him. Also love the manager suite that whole dogs have because my dog has anxiety issues and doesn’t like to be alone when he’s being boarded. I recommended whole dogs for your fur babies.

We have a 6 mos old golden doodle. She absolutely loves daycare. She has been attending for about 3 months. We have boarded her once and that seemed to go well. We have had her bathed and trimmed while boarding and that also worked out great.

I have been bringing my dog Winston here about once a week for a little over a year now. I appreciated during his initial evaluation the staff understood he was young and daycare was a new environment for him that would take some adjustment so he was not rejected quickly but allowed to visit and grow comfortable. He is a shy dog and usually has to warm up to novel things like new places and people. Within a few visits, he went from standing on the side watching to being in the middle of playtime enthusiastically running and playing with the others. He really enjoys playing with other dogs, so dropping him off here is easy since he is eager to go back to the small dog room and hang out with the other dogs. I haven’t had any major issues with the daycare, and any staff I have seen on the webcam or been around in-person are friendly and care about the dogs. I have not really used the grooming (just a couple nail trims) or training services (my dog had maybe one session of a development camp so far and we chose the cooperative care training while he was spending time at daycare). My dog was boarded here once so far for about 3-4 days. We brought some food, shirts, and a couple toys with us to leave with him, and when one of his toys was not in his bag at pickup, I called them to let them know and they had the toy waiting for us next time we visited. I was grateful they found it and remembered to return it next time we were there! Overall, whenever anyone asks where my dog goes to daycare I say Whole Dogz and recommend it. I continue to trust them when I need an extended time for my dog to be watched while having some playtime and exercise. I am so grateful they are close to where I live, conveniently located by the Metro and highway, and have webcams in each room so I can check in on my dog while he is there and I miss him. The facilities seem clean and safe, and I have never noticed any health, physical, behavioral, or other issue with my pup after pickup. Previously, I had a dog who failed a daycare examination, but I knew he was not a big fan of being around lots of other dogs and didn’t pursue alternative daycares later on. My dog now also failed his first evaluation at another daycare, so I was grateful that Whole Dogz understood him better that he was just still young and growing and only needed some time to become more comfortable, and now he enjoys every visit. The store area in the front is also neat. I am always meaning to buy something, but usually am in a hurry with drop off or pickup and don’t take more time to browse and buy. There are lots of great things for pets and their owners.

We love Whole Dogz! The owners and staff really love dogs and it shows. They have everything Bailey needs all in one place, so convenient. Daycare, training, grooming and a store. So glad we found them.

I don’t know where to begin!! Alexis, Chyna, Tonja, Olympia, Emma, Noah…. Whole Dogz have been the MOST attentive, warm, welcoming, and loving group of Huemans that I have seen, experienced, and interacted with to date! They have made my and my pups transition and relocation process effortless! They listen and are very engaged with the pups and parents! My Jetson L🐾VES all of the staff mentioned and all of the ones whose name I may not know, but see via webcam! You, Whole Dogz, all of Jet’s newly adopted Puncles and Pupunties (Uncles and Aunts) have raised the bar! I can not thank each and every one of you enough! Now, I need to u spoil him because I can’t keep up with all the hugs, rubs and extra wuv that you show him each and every day! You are consistently consistent and I love it! Thank you all! Jet’s Mom - Gwen B

Our dog has been going to Whole Dogz for over 5 years daily. He is well taken care of and has care takers that truly adore him. Their facility is very big offering your dog lots of room whether he wants to be in the action or not. Many facilities are too cramped. They have a dog trainer and grooming too, both which we have tried and recommend. Put your mind at ease, and give them a try!

The best doggie day care I have found. Milo has been a member for about two years. The staff are great and the manager, Alexis, is phenomenal. They take great care of our furry friends and love each of them. I highly recommend Whole Dogz!

Super friendly, knowledgeable staff that loves what they do!! Update: I recently added a (very large) puppy to my house and he absolutely LOVES going to Whole Dogz! Apparently he has his own little group of friends that play all day. I couldn't ask for a better doggy daycare or better folks than at Whole Dogz! The photo is from this year's Halloween party.

I do not recommend this business to anyone. I had a previous bad experience with the grooming service under the old ownership. I gave them another shot under the new ownership this past weekend. I dropped my dog off at 9am. I called mid-day to find out when he would be done and was told he hadn't had his coat trimmed yet because the groomer washes all the dogs and then cuts them in the order they arrived. At 4:30pm I had not heard back so I called again. I was told he hadn't had his coat trimmed with the same explanation again and was advised that I should pick him up and bring him back for a cut another day. When I picked him up, I saw that many dogs I had seen arrive AFTER me had or were leaving with full grooming/cuts. So much for cutting them in the order they arrived. It was also obvious that my dog had been brushed only shortly before I arrived to pick him up. By the way he used the bathroom and drank water upon arrival home, I can safely say he spent 8h in a crate, likely wet until I called at 4:30pm. Absolutely will not be returning and I advise everyone to avoid this business.

Our Siberian Husky has gone to daycare here and boarded here. It is a great place for dogs. He is always so excited to go there. It is very much a place run by people who love dogs. I highly recommend it.

We were hopeful when we discovered The Board Hound. But. Today we were told our 9 month old pup couldn’t come back for a month because he was too energetic and didn’t know how to take cues from other dogs to chill out. He had been out for three weeks for surgery—a cyst removal and neutering. We had to keep him calm during that entire time and so today he was super excited to return. They said he had “too much testosterone” still. But they’d never said that before his surgery, so how is it that after surgery he has too much? Further, the reason we took him to The Board Hound in the first place was so he could learn to play well with other dogs and we were led to believe they could help. Indeed, they said they were teaching him to “take a break.” He is NOT aggressive; he’s been quite good with much smaller, younger pups and older dogs, even a cat. I guess, however, they decided they’re not up to the task of dealing with a 52 pound, energetic puppy who hasn’t been able to play for awhile due to surgery. And this after we gave glowing reviews to other people. We’ll have to go back and amend our reviews now.

I am thoroughly impressed and pleased with the team at The Board Hound. The puppy play parties and training classes have been excellent. The team ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

Both of my dogs have attending puppy party, have gone through training there and I truly couldn’t be happier. The training has really helped our relationship with our dogs. The staff is fantastic, and Mary goes above and beyond every single encounter and always ensures we walk away with more understanding of our dogs. One of the only locations I would board my dogs. Couldn’t recommend more.

This is the most fantastic place. My Akita pup loves it. She has no off switch when she is around other pups but their STEPS program worked with her and did just the thing to occupy her mind and body.

we are regular customers here, our pup absolutely loves going here. I am thrilled with the staff who are there because they are definitely dog lovers with every penny to us to help our dog socialize and play and have fun.

My girlfriend and I at the time were pretty crunched on time to find a doggy day care and puppy social classes. Low and behold, we came upon The Board Hound in Old Town. We set up a meeting to do a day care for the evaluation. We absolutely loved their honesty and recommendations. As soon as they had openings for doggy day care and our pups passed the vaccination requirements, we immediately booked in advance. The Board Hound is personal, knowledgeable, understanding and caring. They work with you and your schedule and communication is top notch. Arianna has been absolutely amazing in communication with our pups and all of the in-house trainers with STEPP have been phenomenal! Highly recommend!!

This is a great facility and I am continuously impressed with it. They have been accommodating of my two dogs with special needs. My one with anxiety is relaxed and happy with the staff. And I feel comfortable leaving my epileptic dog there as the staff keep her medicines safe and accessible, and really listened to all of my instructions on what to do in case of a seizure. It's also very clean and daycare booking has been really easy. My dogs are always excited to go and tired out when they come back, which is great.

Caring and knowledgeable team that takes great care of our dog. Great mix of educational daycare, owner-dog classes and supervised free play. A better behaved and tired puppy is the result.

Luna loved her mini day she got to spend with the Board Hound family! Will plan on using their services in the future!!!

The staff is amazing and truly cares about the dogs! Our dog always drags us in the building and runs on to the floor with the other dogs. Staff is always able to and willing to tell us about her day, who she played with, and what she likes to do during the day. They also make sure she gets the care and attention she needs. Once registered at Old Town you can also go to their other location for daycare and boarding, wich we have found very helpful! The Board Hound is the place to go for any daycare or boaridng needs.

Top Dogg is great! My dog Chloe warmed up to Jonis faster than any other human ever. Since then he’s expanded his team, and they are always reliable, professional, and kind. Sometimes we help watch a friend’s dog, too, and Top Dogg is super flexible about adding an extra dog to the schedule.

Top Dogg has been so wonderful to work with! I've used both their dog walking and dog sitting services over the last year and have had great experiences. Every member of their team has been so excellent with my dog and I appreciate them tremendously!

I love Top Dogg!! Everyone on the team is so sweet to my Evie and they always send pictures and updates.

Without a doubt the best dog walking service I’ve worked with. Super easy to get into contact with, owner works with your schedule and is flexible. My dog isn’t the easiest to work with but owner knew exactly how to handle a bigger dog. Top dogg provides top notch service.

We love Top Dogg! Jonis and Moriah are awesome. They are so communicative, caring, and reliable, and their level of attention makes us feel like we’re their only client. They go above and beyond what we expected from a dog walker! We feel like our dog is in great hands on her midday walks, and we’ve never had any issues or concerns with them. We would absolutely recommend them to any friend or family member!

We love Top Dog! Both of our dogs stayed with Jonis during our honeymoon and now we book with him everytime we got out of town. Both of our dogs are very anxious and Jonis is great with them. We recommend Top Dogs for all pets!

I had both my dogs stay with Jonis for the weekend and by far best service! Not the first time my dogs have stayed with him and every time I take them they get excited. Highly recommend Top Dogg!

Jonis and his team have walked our dog for several years now (both when we lived in Huntington and now Fort Hunt). They're always easy to work with and they share notes about the walk. Highly recommend

Top Dogg is an amazing family run business that has the most friendly and reliable dog walkers. I’ve had very positive experiences with them, and rest easy knowing that my pup is in good hands. They truly treat your dog as if it is their own. They have great customer service & communication as well. Can’t say enough positive things!

Jonis is the local “dog whisperer”! Our little guy loves him. We have had the pleasure of having him as our walker for over two years. Always caring, positive, dependable and flexible. Most dog walkers do not provide the level of attention Jonis provides. The most important thing is Max trusts and literally loves him. If your dog doesn’t trust a human, you probably shouldn’t either. Best service. Highly recommended! “Max approved”

I have been using The Unleashed Pet for several years for my four indoor cats and one feral cat. The cat care is so well handled that I come home to very happy cats. The result is that I don't worry while I am traveling and am able to …

Very happy customer. It’s nice to get an email and pic after the walk so I know when the walker comes. They even went the extra mile when they noticed my pup was sick. Took care of her and sent me a separate message to let me know.

This is a truly outstanding group of caring, thorough, and knowledgeable professionals. I have complete faith in them to take excellent care of our dog. I was particularly impressed with The staff making a pre-visit to our home to meet our pet, understand our home, and get an understanding of our needs and expectations. We are very happy with The Unleashed Pet, and we plan to use them going forward!

Christy and her team have been providing care for my two greyhounds since 2021, giving them mid-day breaks while I am at the office. I've been pleased with the care they receive, including special requests for my more accident-prone hound needing a boot or leash walked on short notice. My dogs always seem happier when one of their friends has come to visit them during the day!

We have been using the dog walking services of the Unleashed Pet for almost 3 years now and are very happy with them! They genuinely seem to care about our dog and have been incredibly accommodating to last minute changes in plans. I highly recommend!

I think the folks doing the actual pet sitting are great. They were caring and went above and beyond. I can’t get past the management and their policies. Every time I interact with the owner/manager, I’m left thinking that customer service isn’t her priority. I also believe their cancellation policies are unreasonable. For these reasons, I would not hire this company again.

I have had great success and service with The Unleashed Pet. I have two cats and they have taken great care of Mila and Bailey when I am away for work or vacation. I really like how they report back for each visit, it gives me a great peace of mind.

Christy and her team are amazing. They make sure my fur babies are well taken care of when I am out of town. I absolutely do not even worry at all with them in charge. Love them!!

Christy and her team are awesome! They have been taking care of our pets for over 10 years. Always top-notch, professional service.

I have had a wonderful experience with the Unleashed Pet! I hired them to walk my greyhound, Luke, and from the Spot Check picture and report its clear that they spend a lot of time with him. He is much more relaxed now when my husband and I come home from work. They are very flexible with scheduling- snow days, sick days and government shutdowns are no issue. We would highly recommend the Unleashed Pet! Update 2021- Now we have three greyhounds and they all love their friends at the Unleashed Pet. They've missed seeing them as a result of Covid. As much as they like having me around (I think), I know they'll be happy to see their walkers again!

Posh pets is as good as it gets! I switched to them after trying out several other companies who always had different dog walkers for every walk that didn't work well for my anxious dog. Chris and the posh pets team are top notch! I have …

Posh Pets is AMAZING! My wife and I have an American Fox Hound, and they have very quickly impressed us and gained our trust through their commitment, close attention to our dog's caring needs, and love shown to our dog. Most significantly, there was a situation where an emergency pet sitting was needed, and they were able to make it work out at the last second. Chris and Valentina have been fantastic! We HIGHLY recommend Posh Pets to anyone looking for pet sitting or dog walking services!

This amazing team provided excellent care for my dog almost every week for about two years. They were always reliable and flexible around my schedule. I could trust that he was in great hands when with his walkers!

The Posh Pets team are all top notch. The communication is very prompt and robust with appointments confirmed quickly, walk summaries well detailed, and any concerns resolved to satisfaction professionally. Highly recommended.

Chris and the whole Posh Pets team has provided excellent care for our dog. I really appreciate that they conduct an at-home meet and greet because our dog had specific needs that we were able to cover during the visit. I highly recommend Posh Pets for anyone, especially if your dog has a specific routine, is cautious around new people, and/or needs to receive any medications during petcare visits. Thank you, Posh Pets!

Posh Pets has been truly amazing!! I have a 16-year-old cat named Foxy and I'm very particular about who comes in to take care of her while I'm away. The team at Posh Pets has always been very responsive and caring towards her, they know exactly what her routine is and what her favorite playtime activities are (yes, she still chases a laser at 16!). I get daily updates on how she's doing along with pictures or videos, and it always puts me at ease to see how happy and playful she is with her "new friend!" The biggest testament is when I come home... when I walk in the door, she is always happy as a clam, like she hardly even missed me which is GREAT!! With other cat sitters I've had she has been scared and runs to hide as I come home, but with Posh Pets she is perfectly happy and content. It truly puts me at ease knowing that she's in such good hands when I go away. Foxy always gets exceptional care from her friends at Posh Pets, I cannot recommend them enough!

Posh Pets has been a fantastic service. I have used them for the better part of two years to watch my high energy pup Maggie. As someone who works a changing shift schedule they have been able to make sure Maggie was always taken care of. Their communication is superb and they are always very responsive no matter when you message them. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner in the NOVA area

Posh Pets took care of my fur babies like they were their own babies. I would get a picture everyday of them playing or getting loved on. Thank you!

I highly recommend Posh Pets! The staff is very professional, communicative, and truly cares for the well being of your pet. They’ve been fantastic to work with!

I have been using Post Pets for the last 6 months. This has been the most positive and wonderful experience for my dogs and me! Valentina is trustworthy and reliable and she takes such good care of my dogs every single day. She sends photos and gives me a daily update on each dog. Chris has been a tremendous help as well. The peace of mind I have, knowing my dogs are being loved and taken out on a nice walk while I'm at work, is priceless. Post Pets is simply the best. They are the only dog walking service I would consider using. I cannot thank Valentina and Chris enough for the services they have provided. Nothing but 5 stars for Post Pets!!
