Dog Sitters in Dranesville, VA

I cannot say enough how wonderful this company is. I contacted the company and met our pet sitter, Tanya, a few days later. She came to my house and met my cat, who loved her instantly. She took notes on what to do to and where food/treats are. She came twice a day exactly as planned and stayed for the agreed amount of time. She always sent an update immediately afterward detailing what she did, how my cat was doing, and she sent a collage of photos. I felt so much better knowing that while I was away, my fur baby was being well-cared for. I wholeheartedly trust Tanya to be in my home while away. In a world where you have to be wary of people, pet sitters from this company are honest and good. If you’re taking a trip and cannot take your fur baby, call Villaridge. They’re the best!

We've used Villaridge three times to watch our cats, and we have never been let down! Our pets are family, and there's no question that they have been taken care of while we've been away.

We are longtime customers of Villaridge Pet Sitters. They have been great, even helping out in an emergency situation. Would highly recommend them.

Responsive, prompt, and detail- oriented. Very happy thus far!

I recently entrusted Happy Hearts and Paws with the care of my beloved dog, Riggs, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff at Happy Hearts and Paws exude professionalism and a genuine love for animals that is truly heartwarming. Riggs absolutely adores them, and it's clear that they go above and beyond. I can leave Riggs with Happy Hearts and Paws feeling completely at ease, knowing that he is not only receiving top-notch care but also plenty of love and attention. I highly recommend Happy Hearts and Paws to any pet owner. Thank you, Happy Hearts and Paws, for providing such exceptional care and comfort for Riggs!

We had the hardest time finding a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Rebekah at Happy Hearts N Paws came HIGHLY recommended. After long discussions we decided to give it a shot and have Rebekah come meet our fur baby. We warned her that our dog is highly reactive and we had lots of bad experiences with other sitters. She took the task at hand and ran with it. She was absolutely a miracle worker and dog whisperer! Our dog immediately took to her. She has the best communication with us Rand was there to answer any and all concerns. Rebekah went above and beyond when at our home by making sure our home was clean, mail and packages always brought in, and so much more! We can’t thank her enough for taking care of our baby and home all while keeping us in the know and up to date with photos, videos, and great descriptions of the goings on. This experience was the best we could hope for and we are more than happy to recommend her highly!

Rebekah has been amazing! She responds quickly and professionally. Rebekah is very detailed and always respects my home when she house/cat sits for me. My two kitties absolutely love her! If you need a professional and loving person to care for your pets Happy Hearts N Paws is the one for you!

Happy Hearts N Paws and Nanke were great with caring for both of our dogs over a weekend. One of our dogs was very apprehensive about a stranger entering our home but Nanke worked with her over several days, so that our dog felt very comfortable by the third visit. On an administrative note their scheduling and payment app is fantastic. I would highly recommend Happy Hearts N Paws for dog walking and in home pet care. Thank you!

The absolute BEST! Julia went above and beyond to make sure our pup was comfortable and happy. All of our kitties loved seeing her and Julia sent me adorable photos and updates. It was so wonderful to know that all of our fur babies were taken care of by such an amazingly sweet, professional and trustworthy. 10 out of 10 Stars!

Booked for a cat sitting service for a few days and everything was wonderful! I received an update and pictures for every visit, instructions were followed perfectly, and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my fur babies were very well taken care of. HIGHLY recommend this business!!

Rebekah took excellent overnight and daytime care of our two labs - a puppy and a senior dog, both with unique needs. She was warm and loving to our guys, kept them engaged and active while we were away and took wonderful care of our home in our absence. Recommend highly!!

Rebekah is incredible and took amazing care of our cat! She gave us the much needed peace of mind while we were out of the country. We got daily messages and pictures and we didn't have to worry for a single second. I will continue to work with Happy Hearts 'n Paws and recommend them wholeheartedly!

Julia is simply the best pet sitter that I ever had. She always sends me pictures of my kitties when she is watching them. Gives them their ashtma medicine and makes sure that they are entertained by playing with them. My cats love her!

We were very hesitant to leave our anxious and nervous, yet very loving Aussie! Because of how I described our dog (Happy), Julia (one of the owners) insisted on taking Happy vs. having someone else in the company do so. From the daily texts and photos and otherwise, I could tell that she and her family cared for Happy as if he were theirs for 7 nights. Having only ever left Happy with family and friends, I am thrilled to have this reliable and loving option when we need it. Grateful for our neighbor who recommended them!

After been for more than 18 months taking my dog to one of the commercial famous brands for cares of dogs in the market I decided to give my dog a non utopian place for his care when I need to somebody take care of him. Nice and professional people here! Clean and smell good place. Professional work. Definitely if I need a boarding house for my furry boy I won’t hesitate to bring him to this place where I not doubt he will be ok.

I had an exceptional experience at Giving Tree Pet Resort with my beloved pet Dori and my pet friend Buzz. The staff members were incredibly knowledgeable and showed a lot of TLC to Dori and Buzz during our stay. It's evident that they truly love and understand pets. Dori seemed happy and well-cared for during our time there. I highly recommend Giving Tree Pet Resort to anyone looking for a place that treats your furry family members with the same love and care you do. Plus they have pick up and drop off services too. Thank you for making Dori's stay so wonderful!

My family recently boarded our pup at giving tree pet resort and had a great experience. We went overseas for about two weeks but felt very secure in our decision as we received many detailed updates and photos while we were away. Our dog, Misoo, gets very shy around people, but the care and attention they gave helped Misoo feel very safe and helped him warm up quickly! The facility is very nice and all the employees treat the dogs like their own. If you are looking for a safe and loving place to board your pups, giving tree pet resort is the place!! Here are some photos of Misoo they sent over while we were away :) Will definitely be coming back in the future!! Thank you to all at Giving Tree!

Our pup loves going here for daycare and boarding. They sometimes send picture updates and the facilities are beautiful. Grooming is also 10/10, her haircut looked flawless when we got it done there.

I’m hesitant to write this because we love this place so much we don’t want it to be too crowded! In all seriousness, we started taking Cheyenne to Giving Tree two weeks ago and she has been there every day since we started. Our Cheyenne was a bit timid after adopting her and the staff gave her lots of love and attention until our pup was comfortable. Speaking of the staff, they are wonderful. We felt like family immediately and really feel like we are dropping our pup off with close friends. Giving Tree is very clean, provides lots of personal attention (thank you Hayley), has great hours and like I said, the staff are incredible. We will keep bringing our Cheyenne while we work during the day and will always be comfortable knowing she is taken care of. Thank you Giving Tree for what you do. Don’t change a thing.

At the chaotic crossroads of my nomadic existence, Giving Tree Pet Resort in Reston emerges as an oasis of canine nirvana. Joker, my four-legged conspirator, finds solace and joy in the care of these pet whisperers. The Resort's aura, a blend of professionalism and genuine love for animals, creates an environment where chaos becomes camaraderie. Whether it's the daily escapades of daycare or the tranquil retreats of boarding during my international jaunts, Giving Tree Pet Resort stands as a testament to excellence in pet care. They've mastered the art of not just tending to, but truly understanding the complex souls of our loyal companions. For Joker and me, it's not just a boarding facility; it's a sanctuary where the howls of joy echo in every corner.

This place is fabulous. The grooming is second to none!!! I have had both Chico and Rocky groomed and have nothing but praise. Best cuts ever for both. Rocky really enjoys going to play with his friends. The staff is very caring and I feel it is a great place to trust your pet too. Here's Rocky enjoying his valentine day whipped cream. :)

I am very grateful and satisfied with the service provided by Giving Tree Pet Resort when I entrusted my dog to them during my vacation. They kept me informed about my dog’s well-being and even sent me pictures, allowing me to enjoy my vacation with peace of mind. Especially considering that my dog is timid and easily frightened, I was touched by the extra care and attention given to him by the staff. It was evident that every employee genuinely loves and cares for the dogs, which made me feel confident in leaving my dog in their care. I sincerely appreciate the service provided this time and plan to use their services again in the future. I would like to express my gratitude once again to all the staff members who love and care for dogs.

We’ve taken our dog Pango to daycare a couple of times and he loves it there! As soon as we pull into the parking lot, he always gets really excited. I can tell the staff takes really good care of him when he’s in their care. They have great prices and packages and an awesome staff!

We had a wonderful experience with Giving Tree Pet Resort for doggy daycare. Our dog was always excited to go and the staff was very friendly and caring. Highly recommend!

I found this company when I moved to NOVA. I have to say how wonderful they have been both the owners and my sitter! Karen my sitter is amazing , detailed and notices everything about our cats. She keeps us well informed about how the gang of 5 are doing. I highly recommend All Friends Pet Care. It’s a local gem!

Amazing care! We’ve used AFPC since 2016 and always had amazing experience, we totally trust them to walk our dog, and pet sit when out of town. Highly recommend! My family has been longtime fans of AFPC, and have received great care for our pup (Kai) and cat (Hoku). WE've really appreciated the safe, reliable services including daily dog walking, pet sitting, and pet transport as well - since 2016! 5 stars, highly recommend. Our pets love their sitters/walkers and we do too!

We've worked with All Friends for several years and have enjoyed nothing less than stellar and kind service for our cats and dogs. The communication with the staff and sitters has been terrific and I always feel confident that the team will give our pets the best care and attention.

We've been with All Friends Pet care for so long now that we couldn't even think about considering any other service. They are compassionate, caring, focused, reliable, and truly give us confidence that our fur babies are in the best hands possible whenever we need them.

I've been using All Friends Pet Care for 3 or 4 years. Pam and Beth who run it are amazing. Fast, responsive, and intelligent. The dog walkers I've had are all 5 star. The online portal makes booking easy. And the dog walkers send reports every time they walk my dog so I know it's been done and that my dog is fine. I recommend All Friends Pet Care very strongly!

I RARELY write reviews. In fact, this may be my second review ever. However, All Friends Pet Care is that good, and I want to applaud the quality of this small business and the compassion of the owners, particularly during the pandemic. All Friends Pet Care does not miss a beat when caring for your animal— they are timely, communicative, and above all else, truly loving towards that special member of your family. They make every effort to accommodate you and your pet, even on short notice. I can tell from the photos they send, that Daisy Mae is happy and at ease when they are there to help. It puts my mind at ease knowing there is a reliable service to assist Daisy Mae when we cannot. I cannot recommend All Friends Pet Care more.

I highly trust All Friends Pet Care with my dogs. The owners partner you with a regular dog walker so you have a consistent service for your pets. I have been very happy with the communication and service. The portal they use is tremendous and gives you a ton of information through an app, including a GPS route of where your dog walker goes each day.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! A raving Google review will not even begin to adequately express the wonders of All Friends Pet Care, but I'll do my best. I switched to All Friends Pet Care when my previous dog walker was not working out. My dog is nervous with strangers and the walkers at AFPC were extremely understanding, they were all very patient with my pup and some of the best people he has ever been around, he quickly warmed up to them. AFPC truly cares about it's clients above all else and this is evident in every aspect of their business, from initial contact, scheduling, billing, walking/sitting your pets, providing updates and communication! They use Time to Pet which is a pet sitting software that allows you to see exactly when your pet walker/sitter checked in to see your pet, when they checked out, a map of where they walked, pictures and a summary of the visit. Not to mention Time to Pet makes payment and scheduling super easy. Beth and Pam, the owners of AFPC are the most lovely people and will address all of your concerns and questions themselves, not to mention in a very timely manner. I am very protective of my pup and I felt 100% at ease knowing AFPC was taking great care of my boy while I'm away. Thanks AFPC!!!

We have used All Friends for over 10 years for our pet sitting and dog walking needs. Owners Pam and Beth and their entire team are so customer-focused that we've never had to worry if our pets will be well cared for. It's as though our pets were their own.

Beware of this company’s policy on the NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT. I used All Friends Pet Care one time before COVID hit. My one experience was good, but my second reservation cost me $396 for a cancellation made five weeks in advance. I made a reservation with All Friends Pet Care in April 2021 for Dec 11-23, 2021 vacation, which I had to cancel on Nov 4 due to my cruise getting cancelled. The 50% deposit was entirely non-refundable due to their non-refund policy which states: ***Please note our reservation policy: ALL reservations totaling $200 or more will be charged a non-refundable deposit equaling 50% of the job total in order to confirm the reservation.*** I submitted a complaint and Pam, one of the owners, called to tell me they are a small business, and this is what they have to do to stay in business. I also learned that All Friends Pet Care paid the pet sitter for the reservation even though it was cancelled over a month in advance and probably was backfilled with a new reservation. Perhaps this is creating their financial issues. I appreciate what it takes to be a small business, but this policy is excessive when compared to the competition and has cost them what would have been a repeat client. I have yet to find a cancellation policy so restrictive with any of their competitors and there are a lot of options available. (An example of the refund policy of a comparable pet sitting service: “Pet Sitting Visits: A cancellation fee of $25 will apply to all reservations cancelled within four days of the start date.”) If you are making a reservation which has even the remote possibility of getting cancelled for any reason whatsoever, I strongly recommend another service provider. Do your research and if possible, find other options for reservations that exceed $200 a booking and, if you still choose to book with All Friends Pet Care, I would not book way in advance as I did, as there is not a benefit.

They take great care of our corgis that come here. 4/5 stars only because there seems to be a lot of discrepancy between pricing depending on who you talk to about boarding and what is included. We boarded our dogs and requested daycare everyday but when I checked the next day on the cameras they were not in there. Turns out although they said they were adding it they mistakenly did not. While they did apologize I still feel terrible my dogs spent all day in their kennel rather than getting their energy out as we had wanted. Otherwise the rest of the visit was great and our corgis seemed very content when we picked them up.

We have been bringing our dog, Ellie, here for about a year. She seems to be well treated and there are a bunch of add-ons available to her stays that we take advantage of so she can play. The staff is always very nice. They do get busy at the pick up/drop off start times.

I want to write about my experience with Olde Towne’s training packages. First the positive. The new trainer Lauren is wonderful and genuinely cares about training my puppy. She is very communicative and helpful with tips on how to deal with different situations. We had signed a package of 10 day training sessions and 3 private sessions and she took over when we were about halfway through the package, and the difference between her approach and the previous was immediately obvious. Now the negative. I would highly recommend asking questions about the training packages because what they do not tell you upfront is that when you sign up for a half hour day training ssssion, you also have to do day boarding at $40. So you end up having your dog there for about 4 hours each time. This may work for some people but not for me – I drive half an hour there and have to hang around for 4 hours when all I wanted was a half hour session for my puppy to train. I would not have signed up with them if I had known this was their company policy; they never told me this when I signed up. I don’t care to go into the details of my very unpleasant experience trying to resolve this with the front office staff – it was clear they were not interested in coming up with a reasonable solution to my problem and instead took a very monetary approach that totally disregarded what was best for my dog. I don’t suppose they care that they have lost a customer that they would otherwise have had despite the distance and time involved for me. But I question the approach of this company – that they care less about the animals and owners and more about keeping to their “company policy” tells me that I’m better off taking my dog somewhere else. I would give Lauren 5 stars but Olde Towne gets one star.

I boarded my puppy in one of their LUXURY SUITES with a window, tv, and webcam for one night at $125. I brought her portioned and labeled kibbles, treats and a chewy stick. This is what happened: 4:24am - I started watching the webcam while away on a trip. 4:51am - Someone refilled her food bowl and left. 6:17am - She was taken out - potty break?! 6:23am - Someone cleaned the room, changed water bowl and TOOK HER FOOD BOWL AWAY. 6:26am - She was brought back in. But what about her food? So I kept watching….. 9:01am - She was taken out 9:17am - She was returned. 9:30am - I called and left a msg to question why her food was taken away. 9:55am - Someone came in to check on her for 5 seconds and left. Still no food. 10:09am - Nina called back to say it’s their “Food Safety Policy” to pick up the bowl after a while. They left her bowl overnight, as seen on webcam, so why the sudden policy? 10:17am - At my request, she was given her chewy stick. 10:21am - A text was sent, voicing my complaint that THEY DO NOT SPEND ANY TIME ON LOVE AND AFFECTION. 12:45pm - Someone literally threw a treat (I provided) in the middle of the room and left. I WATCHED FOR THE NEXT FIVE HOURS ON WEBCAM. My puppy did not get another potty break since 9:17am until she was picked up by my friend at 5:30pm. I spoke to the Executive Director, Devin, the next day. He said “sometimes oversights can happen” and their staff “logged in” to say she was given another potty break. I HAVE SNAPSHOTS AND RECORDINGS OF WEBCAM WITH TIME STAMP of when their staff entered and exited the room. When I finally asked him “what exactly did I pay $125 for?” He said “someone is on site 24-7 and they also have a generator in case of power outages.” Really? Aren’t those required to run a business that board people’s precious pets? I have volunteered for shelters and rescue groups that take far better care of dogs. Over 8 hours without a potty break is inexcusable negligence. I WOULD NEVER USE THIS BUSINESS AGAIN and I recommend people to diligently check on their pets on webcam if they still choose to board their pets there.

Their new trainer is incredible! My dog is reactive with other dogs and rather than generalizing her board and train program, she worked her with other dogs constantly. Lauren also advocated for my dog and I, going above and beyond time and time again. She is a great and frequent communicator. The only reason I go 4 stars is because olde town is very fancy but not super organized. I had mediocre service at the front desk and over the phone. I'm excited to see how my dog develops as I bring her home but I am feeling very optimistic that her work there will be life changing for both of us! So much gratitude!!!

Olde Towne has been a wonderful choice for my kitty when I travel! I first brought her there as a kitten and have continued even though I probably could leave her at home and have someone stop by most of the times I'm gone. They take great care of her, send me pictures, snuggle and play with her, and make me feel totally comfortable while my fur baby is in their hands. My cat has a...large personality...and the staff there never seem to mind that she can be a bit feisty. I highly recommend them!

I started coming here after I has suspicion my dog wasn't being taken care of like he should have at his previous day boarding facility. Every day I pick my dog up they tell me how he did and what time his potty breaks were. The staff is very nice and helpful. Scheduling has been made super easy. I love all the services they offer (especially the pool). My dog and I have been coming here for about 2 months now and we absolutely love it!

This location has taken great care of my cat for at least a week once a year for the past 3 years. This year they were also very accommodating when I had to extend my cats stay at the last minute. This is a good, safe place for your cat with solid service.

We took a week-long trip, but could not take our cat with us. Old Towne Pet Resort was not the closest boarding location to our home, but they came highly recommended and their pricing and policies were reasonable. I’m glad we chose them. The cattery was in high demand, so we didn’t get the exact type of unit (with a window and camera) we wanted, but their staff were helpful in suggesting an alternative which actually saved us a little money. They took great care of our cat, sent photos, made sure he played with others, and even organized a nail trimming spa day. The location is easy to access and the space is amazingly large and inviting.

George has been an incredible groomer. I just heard did he left Olde Town, does anyone know if he went to another shop? Does anyone know where he went? 1/21/2023 update: we miss George, but we had Betty groomed out dog and sh did such a great job. See nice picture that Betty took on the grooming table.

The best boarding place. Megan and Pablo are the best at what they do. They treat dogs like their family. They have beautiful outdoor space where dogs get good workout and socialization. Our dog loves this place. We truly have found home away from home for our pup. P.S.- Tom"Tommy" misses you and says Hi.

I cannot overstate how grateful I am for Megan and Pablo! They've taken the best care of my GSD from the very first day. Whether it's dropping her off for the day or staying for several while I am away. It means the absolute world to me to know that my girl is in the best hands I could ever hope for. Please do not hesitate to contact them for your needs with your pup!

I found Dog Home Away From Home by chance and last minute but have since used them exclusively for well over 60 days total including a month long stay. Megan and Pablo are the friendliest people and have the perfect property for your pets. They have wide open spaces and the sleep areas are large and very appropriate. I’ve never once felt my dog was ever cramped or neglected. They’ve sent pictures and updates during my dogs stay so I was always felt good about having to be away so long. I promise you won’t regret using them for boarding!

They don't even linger to say Goodbye...it's a mad dash for the field.

We moved to NoVA from southeastern PA with our three dogs - there was a doggie daycare in PA we frequented called Wagsworth Manor which had a tremendous amount of outdoor space. Since moving to NoVA, my wife and I struggled to find a daycare that met the mark. Dog Home Away from Home absolutely blew us away and exceeded high expectations - it’s a family owned business with a huge outdoor space, and the customer service was downright phenomenal. Our dogs received wonderful attention and daycare that they’ve been needing for a while; unexpectedly, it rained heavily and the dogs were soaking wet. Megan didn’t even wait for us to ask to help dry them off and even offered to provide something to lay down in our SUV. We drove an hour from where we currently live, and I absolutely cannot recommend this daycare enough. This family and business deserves every bit of patronage. The prices are wonderful and extremely competitive as well

Excellent place to leave your dogs when away from home. I leave mine even to play during the day! Very reliable and passionate owners!

Our go to location for pet boarding. Our two Golden Retrievers have an absolute blast every time they go!

Great place for my dog to stay. All the employees are helpful, know all the dogs names and are with client quickly and professional when accepting or delivering our pooch back.

Judging by the video updates we get, our dog will not want to come home. This is a beautiful place. Our dog is well cared for and looks like she is on vacation.

They take such great care of my girl, and she absolutely loves them. I can't say enough good things about them.

I’ve had great experience with this kennel. I was going on an international trip and needed to get in at the last minute when someone on Rover canceled on me. They stayed late, did everything they could so that my dog could be boarded. I would love to see the facilities, upgraded a bit.

DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE!!! As a favor, I picked up a close friend’s dog yesterday. The dog immediately went to the bathroom as I left the place. I was supposed to leave the dog at my friend’s apartment, but the dog was hyperventilating and I did not feel comfortable leaving the dog alone. I took the dog outside and I have never seen a dog pee so much in my life. I grew up with big dogs and I used to live with my friend’s dog. Within the next 3 hours, the dog needed to go to the bathroom 2 more time. It had appeared that they did NOT take the dog out at all that day. The dog was still hyperventilating after all those potty breaks. I checked her pick up bag to see if she had any food left. She had over half the food my friend sent which indicates THEY DID NOT FEED THE DOG FOR SEVERAL DAYS. The dog was so hungry after I fed her that she was licking the crumbs on the floor. I am very familiar with this dog and that is an abnormal behavior. I am extremely displeased with the dog’s experience. We are still monitoring her for health issues. Based on her behavior and the smell of the boarding facility, it appears she was kept in a cage without food and potty breaks. I have read other reviews that have mentioned this and the place just smells like the pets are sitting in feces all day. UPDATE: I saw the owner responded about the extra the food. I double checked the messages to my friend at the time. I asked how many bags the dog was sent with. After doing the math with the food left over and taking into account extra bags, the dog missed about half her meals. Also responding to the medical advice, I have watched the dog on several occasions and I have never seen the dog act like this. My friend has taken the dog to the vet in the past and this is not related to health issues. The facility did call my friend day of to let her know they did not take the dog out the last day. Honestly, this facility is grossly neglect with dogs….

Pet comes back distressed from this place. I believe the open runs are not for all pets. It’s a basic facility to keep pets for a day or two, if you don’t find any good care.

We've taken our two beagles here twice now! The staff is friendly! The place is clean and bright! They were allowed to kennel together! There was no problem giving meds to one who has a chronic condition. We asked for both group and individual playtime. The second time we took them there one dog was a little grumpy with the playgroup and they were quick to call to advise and we changed to more individual play! They enjoyed their vacation and were happy and chipper! They have groomers if you would like to have them pampered! They came home smelling great! They have a nice play area outside! The owner is our veterinary Dr. Easton, who is awesome! I highly recommend this daycare/hotel!

I had used Dulles Pet Hotel for years and always had a great experience. Somehow after my dogs most recent visit, he returned to me acting strange. He was treating his one foot gingerly and was very mopey and lathergic. I assumed he was just moody from being in the kennel for a few days. After taking him for a run the next day as I always do, I realized he was limping. I dropped off a perfectly healthy dog and got back a limping dog. Nobody at the Pet Hotel had any idea how this happened despite them supposedly providing 3 individual play times each day. They offered a courtesy exam but I was very dissatisfied with the doctor's approach on several aspects. The biggest issue is he insinuated the staff told him my dog regularly jumped against the cages and he probably hurt himself that way. I asked why nobody had ever mentioned this behavior to me before. He said, well not specifically your dog but some dogs. Which was not at all how he framed it at first. Furthermore, upon attempting to investigate the issue with management, I was informed of some issue with something from a previous stay months ago where something was going on with his nails. Nobody had ever communicated this issue to me. Bottom line after years of what I thought was good care of my beloved pet, I have lost any trust in this business caring for my dog. I will never return to this place after this experience!

Worst worst WORST place to bring your pet. First off my dogs were told they would get two group times one for each day of board. They didn’t get either one. When the kid came out to pick up the dogs they threw on the leashes and dragged them inside. Didn’t say hi or ask which one was which or anything. Not friendly and made me worried about leaving them there. ( one of my dogs is a 5 month old puppy) he said he would give them a potty break as an add in. WHAT? They don’t normally get a potty break? When we went to get them picked up they said they were “ too busy” to get their group time. When they handed us the dogs they just threw the leashes at us and forgot the bag I brought with them and had to go find it. The minute the dogs got outside they both peed for what seemed 5 mins straight as if they hadn’t been able to. When I asked to speak to the manager they said to write down my name and number and he would call back. A few hours later that same kid calls back and said the owner was too busy to talk to me and that he said I could get a free group time next time we brought them back. I said “oh we won’t be coming back!” This was so awful. Our oldest dog has been to many many facilities and have had great experiences. We were able to see them on camera and would get check ins. This place has me wondering what happened to them. Makes me so sad I cried on the way home. Please, if you love your pets don’t bring them here!!

What an awesome find! We just moved to VA and had to rely on on-line reviews when looking for a place to board our dog. It is very clear that the employees here love animals and love their jobs. They were extremely professional and friendly. The ladies at the front desk instantly made us feel comfortable and reassured about leaving our dog there for 9 days. When we picked our dog up, we got a frequent boarding card with NO expiration and a free vet examination if we have any concerns in the next 10 days! I highly recommend Dulles Executive Pet Center. I will definitely take our dog here if we should ever have to board him again.

If you love your pets, DO NOT board them with Dulles Pet Hotel. We gave this kennel a shot as our normal boarding facility was full. What a huge mistake. Our dog came home smelling terrible, his bed was lost at first (they didn't know which one was his - even though it has his name on it), and was completely covered in urine and dirt once they found it (stating it just came out of the laundry). The bag we provided with our dogs food and toys was lost, with them saying we don't know which one is yours (even though it is labeled with our name). They simply said, we can't find it, oh and we think your dog ran out of food. So, that's concerning since we packed a couple days extra food. Our dog came home pretty skinny compared to when we left him, and not at all clean. While we could not go in to see the facility due to COVID, we really have to wonder what the inside of the boarding facility looks like. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE.

My dog and I both love Dulles Pets Hotel and Daycare— I am confident my dog is getting the best care and playtime! He always leaves happy and it’s a great value too😁 …

A great pet hotel with decent prices for the area. Our dog always comes home absolutely exhausted from all the fun he’s had running around when we are gone. One thing to note is that you have to call when you get to the door and they come out to get the dog. They keep the doors locked so there is no access to the lobby.

Jessica is truly a professional, and we feel so lucky to have found her! Every visit, she goes above and beyond, not just grooming him to perfection but making sure he’s comfortable and happy throughout the process. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every little detail. My dog always comes home looking wonderful, and smelling great. If you’re looking for a groomer who will treat your dog with the same care and attention you would, Jessica is the one. We highly recommend her.

This was Wylie and Luna’s 1st stay at Healthy Hounds. The staff was amazing at responding to questions during their stay. Luna got extra attention on her birthday. Wylie has been to dog parks but not a daycare situation and they were great about easing him into that environment. This will definitely be our go to place for all of our grooming and boarding needs

We’ve been going to Healthy Hounds for grooming with Tonya since we adopted our cockapoo last year. I love that we have a set appointment, we know who the groomer is and they text us for pickup when he’s done. Some places let others cut in line for $, don’t honor appt times, leave the dog in crates for hours, and you never know who’s going to be the groomer. Chase is done in 90 minutes, always looks fantastic and isn’t stressed out! Now, if I could just keep him from playing in the mud for a week!

I don’t think 5 stars is enough! Healthy Hounds is amazing! I recommend it to everyone! My dog and my mom’s dog feel so comfortable with the front desk staff and the groomers (Jessica and Sunny). Cooper comes here from doggie day care and loves it more than being at his “grandmas” house.

We have taken our dog to Healthy Hounds in Sterling for a few years now. He is almost 15 years old and requires gentle handling and some assistance to move. Our dog is very comfortable there, and we know he is treated very well. Tonya and the entire team always talk with us about his cut and any concerns we might have before they start grooming. He is happy to go in and very happy and handsome when he comes out. Our dog has been groomed by every groomer there and he always looks great when they are done. The front office staff is also very efficient and pleasant to deal with and everyone I have met dropping their pets for daycare are genuinely pleased and grateful for the care their pets receive. This is truly a happy place! We recommend Healthy Hounds above all others in the area for quality, consistency, and care for your pet.

It took us 6 years to find the perfect groomer for our doodle Carl and I'm so thankful for Healthy Hounds! Before Tonya, my stomach would be in knots picking up Carl from his grooming, never knowing what to expect - but that never happens at Healthy Hounds. Tonya makes Carl look perfect every time, exactly what we want and asked for. She is kind, friendly, listens and is incredibly skilled. The entire staff is delightful and I've never been to a facility where the dogs seemed genuinely happy to be there. I cannot recommend this place enough!

We had Jessica groom our golden doodle and asked for a specific cut. Jessica was very attentive to details and Jade came out looking gorgeous. It was easy to drop off and pick her up in a timely manner. Excellent groom and we will be back. Thank you for providing us with such good service.

Shelby was slow to warm up to daycare but she now LOVES to go!! Her tail/butt wag as we approach the Healthy Hound facility and she seems very happy when we pick her up. She loves the staff and has met some playmates. It is so nice to know our girl is having a fun day when we're not with her.

We have been going to Healthy Hound in Sterling for grooming services for over 3 years and we love it. Everyone who works there is friendly and approachable. My 50lb dog is groomed there every 8 weeks or so and I am happy every time. They remember the details of the previous cuts , the groomer talks to me ahead of time to make sure she knows what I want, and they are super sweet with my dog. I would highly recommend Healthy Hound if you are looking for a new place to get your dog groomed.

Healthy Hound's groomers and staff are THE BEST! They always do an amazing job and our pup is always so happy and fresh when we pick him up. He gets the best treatment and can play with other pups while waiting to be picked up. Highly recommend them!

I had been having bad luck finding someone to walk our dogs mid-day. I had contacted larger services , but they did not have anyone available. I really wanted to deal with one person instead of an agency sending out someone I had never met and keeping my door code on file. Thankfully, I found Susan at Friend of a Friend Pet Care. She was able to come out at a time convenient to me to meet our family. The moment I opened the door I noticed that Susan had a calm demeanor, and the dogs loved her right away. Luna loves everyone, but sometimes she can be distracted, but she was very interested in Susan. Ginny can be iffy with some humans, but she also loved Susan right away. The big test was Lefty, the cat, who is very selective with humans. When I was showing Susan how to refresh Lefty's food, Lefty came to Susan and sniffed her and allowed her to pet him, usually he is not so fast to warm to someone new. After I gave Susan all of the information I could think of she asked some very good questions I had not thought of. She showed me her insurance and left me with a form to fill out. She was also reasonable about the pricing, and was able to customize her service for us. Susan has been taking care of them for a couple of weeks now. She has been very reliable. She texts me after walking them and lets me know how they did. It is great to have complete confidence in someone taking care of family members who cannot tell me if anything goes wrong. I highly recommend Friend of a Friend Pet Care.
