Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉
Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.
Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
I could go on forever because Veronica was beyond incredible! We feel so fortunate that she was able to sit for us. Our fur babies were so spoiled with love and attention. Veronica followed their regular schedule, gave our dog her joint supplement, and helped clean her paws with medicated wipes from our vet. Our cat is very shy and sometimes doesn’t even come out for sitters and he loved Veronica! She brushed him and gave him so much love. They were both so happy when we came home. Veronica went above and beyond for us! She even made us masks, got us some disinfectant spray we haven’t been able to find and to top it off she made us bolognese sauce with sweet chicken sausage! She even left us a new box of pasta to make when we got home! We couldn’t believe we got to come home to an incredibly clean house, dinner and such happy pets! Veronica sent pictures and updates daily which made our time away even more relaxing. She took cleaning and sanitizing very seriously which we appreciated so much! We highly recommend her! She treated us, our home and pets just like family. We would love to have her sit for us again and are so grateful for everything she did for us! Also - dinner was delicious!!

Valerie stepped in at the last minute when we became alarmed over numerous troubling incidents at our vet's boarding facility. Our little Tonkinese boy was chronically ill and received visits from Valerie three times a day. Valerie provided unparalleled care–she would rock him and sing to him! Bennie passed away in August. The following day we unexpectedly were given the opportunity to adopt two frightened rescues out of Baltimore. Although Oliver and Thea are amazing, intelligent, sweet and fully acclimated, strangers can still be a problem, so a kennel situation would be quite stressful for them. We know that we don't have to worry while vacationing when Comfy Pet Sitters is on the job. We are confident that Valerie will win them over as she is a "cat muse." (NOTE: Valerie also cares for our Sugar Glider, Hannah.) Valerie's rates are fair and affordable. Animal care is Valerie's full-time job; we don't have to worry that our kittens (who feed around 6pm) will have to wait until after 9pm to be fed. (If your pet sitter has a full-time job, your animals may not receive the care that is needed on your pets' schedules.) Needless to say, Comfy Pet Sitters is our 5-star choice for our fur babies!
Eric and his team are FANTASTIC. This was the second time utilizing their dog sitting services while out of town, and we left them with their hands full with THREE dogs. But they went above and beyond and we felt completely at ease being out of town! We loved getting regular updates and pictures of the pups, and the dogs were so happy and content when we got home. We appreciate their services so much, and will continue to utilize them in the future- we could not recommend them enough!
We had a wonderful experience with Walk.Play.Love.! Eric, Nick, and Julia took such great care of our family's 3 dogs while we were out of town, including visits and walks. It was so reassuring to know that our dogs were being well taken care of, and they regularly shared updates & photos for each visit. I would definitely recommend Walk.Play.Love for your dog sitting & walking needs!
I wholeheartedly recommend Eric and Walk Play Love. We hired Eric to come over and feed our outdoor cats on long weekends when we were away. He does this with great reliability and care, sending pictures of the cats as he feeds them and even bringing up our newspapers. But it doesn't stop there. Recently our old dog became very ill, and we couldn't find any vet to see him right away. Eric recommended an animal hospital in Rockville, and when I called they were able to see him that day. We recently got another dog who is very young and active. I have consulted Eric on a number of behavioral issues, and he has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We are going to hire him to help us to train our new dog as well. I am so happy that we found Walk Play Love. Look no further if you are looking for a group of people who really care about animals!
We've used Walk Play Love for several months to help with our puppy while we are at work. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Both the owner and our primary dog walker came over to meet our puppy in person before we began, which is typical of the personal touch you get with this local business as opposed to an app. They are flexible, punctual, dedicated, priced fairly, and clearly love animals. They take great pictures of our dog and assume an active role in his development, implementing whatever training and feeding regimen we are using. They earned our trust immediately. I'd give them five stars for customer service alone, but the bottom line is that they take fantastic care of our dog, which is what really matters.
Eric is a fantastic dog trainer. We had been looking, for about a year, for a trainer for our three year old--Wally. The other places we called were too expensive and and impersonal. Eric is the nicest, fun person and very professional. We look forward to his visits when he picks up Wally for private lessons. Wally has dropped his dog aggression and other difficult habits. Another one of Eric's co-workers now takes care of both dogs when we are out of town. I am greatly relieved we found this company. The way to our hearts are through our dogs.
We can't say how thrilled we are to have found Walk Play Love! Our dogs have only ever been cared for by one close friend who we trusted implicitly. We were really nervous to hire a dog-walker but as soon as Eric (WPL Founder) came to our house for a meet and greet, we felt at ease. It's easy to tell when someone is truly a dog person and more importantly, understands that pet parents are highly concerned with the care of their fur-children. Our walker, Joseph, is wonderful! He's great with our boys and they have really taken to him. We're so thankful that they are in good hands when we can't be there. Joseph is also great about sending us photos and updates after each walk. Our needs for walking are not on a set schedule. Eric is great about accommodating us and any special requests we might have for timing, etc. I can't say enough good things and highly recommend them!
We were so glad to find Walk Play Love to help take care of our cats while we are out of town. They are reliable, kind, and very flexible. They have reasonable rates and will provide your pet with excellent care. We really love the online portal where you will get messages and pictures! It's great piece of mind getting regular communications. Definitely check them out, highly recommended!
I thought I could study dog training videos on youtube—and train my dog, Wally, myself. What a joke! I don’t have the time or patience. So I found someone who did. Eric at Walk, Play, Love has excellent training techniques and expertise. He is also kind and gentle with Wally. I highly recommend Eric. He is also friendly with my other family members. So when he comes over for training, Wally and everyone else is happy.
I could not be happier with Eric and his team. They are reliable, caring, and extra-attentive to my pets - my dog walker even brings decorative handmade collars for my dog and cat for each holiday! I get texts each day with photos taken during and after the walks, and when my dog is not feeling well they call and let me know. I LOVE Walk.Play.Love.!!
Update: we have been working from home full time since the pandemic hit and have still had WPL continue visits. Welcoming our first baby last year, WPL has been a real time savor for us during the day. They are reliable and affordable - and most of all our dog loves them! We have been using Eric and Walk.Play.Love services for about 2 years now with our beloved dog Lucy. The WPL team has always been extremely responsive and caring to our dog, which is most important to us. An added bonus is that they are very flexible with our schedule. It's always hard to leave your best friend at home for long periods of time, but it has been a whole lot easier knowing that the WPL team cares for our Lucy as much as we do.
I have been employing Fetch! for my pet care needs for well over a decade now, perhaps 15 years (it's been a long time!). Without exception, the sitter (Jenny) has always gone above and beyond to satisfy every need while I'm away from home, not only for my pets, but in ensuring my home is secure during and between visits and in collecting mail and informing me of anything else that requires my attention (water leaks, flooding, etc.). In addition, the sitter has been wonderful in administering medications properly when needed and in cleaning litter boxes, food dishes, and eating/waste areas as needed. The sitter has also made time on every visit to play with my cats, which I can tell from photos that they've really enjoyed! I greatly appreciate the photographs Jenny sends after each visit, but I have always had complete peace of mind when I'm away, due to the fantastic communication she provides. Lastly, the management and staff of Fetch! have provided excellent administrative support in adjusting scheduling changes to accommodate my schedule. In my opinion, the service provided by Fetch! is worth every penny!
Silver Spring Fetch is awesome! Their sitter Dawn became a part of our family. My cats love her!! I always felt better when I know that Dawn was watching over my fur babies and appreciate the great care that she gave them.
Fetch has been a godsend for us. You've looked after our cats for over a decade, and we are always able to enjoy our time away from them secure in the knowledge that they are being well taken care of. Their primary sitter, Stephenie, is particularly great and always sends us the best pictures of the cats!
We really appreciate the experience our cat had with her Fetch sitters because we know she was well taken care of by people who care about her and love cats. We appreciate the ability to communicate regularly while traveling it's great peace of mind.
We love fetch! So responsive and responsible! Javier is the best and our cats are so well cared for so we don’t feel badly leaving them!
Fetch has had my back at times when I have had to leave my cats in an emergency. Short notice, but no problem . . . Total peace of mind. Thank you Fetch, Jordan, and Alysa. Ya'll are the best in the biz!
Love Fetch! They take great care of my dog both on walks and overnight stays. Strongly recommend.
We have been using FETCH for several years (about 6-7?). I cannot recommend this company more highly. Originally, FETCH came to our house in Kensington. When we moved further out in the county, FETCH accommodated us even though we were not in their usual walking area. Lorena has been walking our pup ever since, at least 3 years. Our pup loves Lorena who is completely focused on her care the entire time she is with her. Lorena knows exactly what our dog needs and she has special games she plays with her. (Hiding treats around the room when she leaves!). I attached one of Lorena's daily pictures of our dog. FETCH also accommodates our crazy, inconsistent work schedules. Over the years, their service has improved with digital walk diaries, online client portals and better customer service. We do not provide people with the keys to our home lightly. FETCH is licensed and bonded and they really check out their walkers thoroughly. We would not trust anyone else to care for our pup, especially now that she is aging. FETCH is a premium service, but the service and sense of trust we get from knowing they can be there for our dog is well worth it
I am new to Fetch! but have nothing but good things to say about my experience with them. Their online system makes scheduling visits, paying invoices, and receiving updates very easy and organized. Jenny, in particular, is such a pleasure to work with. She is professional, punctual, and thorough. Her post-visit updates with pictures and commentary provided much peace of mind while I was away. I have a blind, senior cat who is a little needier than the average cat, but I know he's in great hands with Jenny.
Absolutely love this service! Fetch is so reliable, I love that I’m always matched with the same sitter. Shout out to Connor. Connor comes to our home every time we’re out of town, our two cats love him, and, most importantly, I always feel safe having him in my home. Connor plays with my girls, takes pictures, and leaves a diary note in the app telling me about their day. I look forward to those updates when I’m abroad! I also have the peace of mind knowing that Connor is not an independent contractor, so if he’s ever sick or unavailable, Fetch will send a new sitter out to take care of my cats. All around 5 stars. Easy to use app and service.
Noele is incredibly helpful and kind. I needed to schedule cat sitting visits on short notice. Not only was she able to accommodate my request for twice daily visits as a first time customer, but she also suggested special music designed for cats that can be accessed on Alexa to keep our kitty company while we are away. This is a first rate business that many of my neighbors use in Bethesda- don’t look further! Your dog or cat will be well cared for and a reasonable price! Thanks Noele! You are a godsend!
Very happy with their services! Claire has thought of almost everything! They have a website with various sections to help with scheduling and communicating with the sitters and Claire. I appreciate their communication skills and receiving check-in photos! Rates are reasonable for the work and convenience of keeping your pup happy and taken care of while you’re away. Thanks all!
My Suki is a covid pup who was accustomed to having attention 24/7, so when my husband and I were both pulled back into the office I knew I had to find a reliable dog walker. I spent ages combing through all the various services and Rovers in my area, and I'm SO glad I finally found Baby Got Bark. Claire was incredibly responsive when I sent the initial interest email, and she sent our walker, Jules, out to meet us the next week. We knew it was true love when Jules walked in and said "That dog is a HYENA and hyenas are my favorite animal". Most people call her a tiger, but she is clearly a hyena. Jules has come to walk my pup three days a week for the past few months, and we couldn't be happier. Based on the photos Jules sends after every walk, it is very clear that Suki has a new best friend. Jules is quick to send an update after each walk, and is very responsive to communication in the Portal - even for unrelated tasks I forgot in the morning rush, like taking the blanket off the bed so Suki can't destroy it, as she is prone to do... Claire accepts my walk requests immediately, and the price is lower than anything else I was considering. We're so relieved to know Suki is taken care of and happy while we're at work. We love Baby Got Bark, and will be customers for many many years.
Baby Got Bark Pet Services is great. They are highly reliable and take care of our two dogs like their own. I have complete trust in them. Claire leads an excellent team, and Juan does a fantastic job walking our dogs and ensuring excellent communication. I highly recommend Baby Got Bark if you are looking for dog walking/care services!
Claire and team have helped me care for my dog since she was a pup. They have helped me, a single person, thru my insane work schedule, always being there and reliable ! And they are very solution oriented!. They are professional caring and solidly reliable!!. I could never have met my professional commitments without their support! I feel secure that my dog is in excellent hands !
We love Baby Got Bark! We've had dog walks booked pretty much every weekday for the past two years and we couldn't be more thankful for the consistent and responsive service! Claire and her team are great, we would highly recommend Baby Got Bark to anyone who wants great care for their fur babies!
Claire and her staff are very kind and reliable. They always communicate when they have been by to take care of the dogs. They are very professional and Claire makes every effort to fulfill all your scheduling requests. If you choose them, your pups will be in very good hands!
Our dog loves the care she gets from Baby Got Bark! While a very loving dog, she is also a high-needs pet (meds administered before meals, not good on a leash). Our sitter has been very patient and follows instructions (which is important). Our dog now greets him like an old friend when he comes to take care of her. Highly, highly recommend Claire and her team of capable, reliable pet sitters.
Claire and Baby Got Bark are terrific - reliable, attentive, and responsive to the needs of both our dog - and us! We highly recommend Baby Got Bark. We always feel very comfortable leaving our pooch for extended periods of time, because we know she is being taken care of so well! Thanks Claire!
Claire and her team have been incredible! I hired Baby Got Bark (BGB) because I wanted a professional dog walker that knew dog behavior to walk my baby on a daily basis. A week after I hired BGB, I went out of the country for a vacation. I had a friend’s daughter stay with my dog during this time. However, I saw on my cameras how she was not taking care of my dog. I got in contact with Claire immediately and told her the situation. She responded to me immediately and was able to have one of her staff (Ashley) take over for overnight stays after I asked my friend’s daughter to leave my house. Claire was understanding and so responsive and immediately went over to my house the next day and changed over my apartment in preparation for Ashley to stay there (changing bed sheets, putting out fresh towels, etc.). Claire took my dog in a long walk and made sure she ate something! (My dog had not eaten in four days when my friend’s daughter as watching her.) When I returned home, I met Ashley, who is amazing! Super nice and kind! My dog LOVES Ashley and gets just as excited to see her as she is with me! Claire and her team at Baby Got Bark have been incredible! I highly recommend them to anyone that needs dog walking or overnight services. They are amazing!!!
We love Baby Got Bark for our dog! She really loves her walker, and it definitely makes her a happier dog! They are very accommodating and we love receiving the messages and pictures after every walk.
I would highly recommend the Run and Play folks to help with your dog walking needs. Jennifer and Kim did a fabulous job with my pups and were always response and flexible with the needs of my dogs. Great people and a great service.
Jennifer, Jimmy and the whole team are exactly what you want in a dog walker/sitter. They care about our dog as much as we do. They go the extra mile to accommodate requests and are up front when not possible. Never have we had such a fantastic and communicative group of professionals helping with our dog.
Jennifer & her team are fantastic. They offer everything from a quick potty break to active play options during the day in addition to boarding boarding -- we have not yet had need to board, but would feel completely at ease leaving our pups in Jennifer's hands! I work from home much of the time, but occasionally travel for work for a week+ at a time or have other random commitments leave us needing a reliable dog walker for our two young, active pups. Jennifer was patient and accommodating as Australian Cattle Dog number 1 worked through her typical cattle dog instinct to be hesitant to trust someone new. She was also extremely accommodating with scheduling and changing circumstances as we worked through periods of "tons of energy, needs to run or play with other dogs" as well as a tough stretch of "bad injury/limp, needs to stay on soft ground, limited walking, and no play with other dogs." Our big girl is pretty indifferent toward about 95% of people she meets or interacts with, but is just as thrilled to see Jennifer and her team as she is to see her own "parents." While we've seen the great care the Run & Play MD team gives to other dogs, seeing how happy our big girl is when she sees her dog walkers is the best feedback a pup parent can get. ACD number 2 recently came into the picture too. Little girl came to us very young and had some major issues with her crate and separation anxiety. While she is not crated often, we were very nervous to leave her home when I had to be out of town and my husband was at work during the day, but Jennifer & team took great care of her and helped us maintain consistency as we worked to make the kennel a happy place for our little girl. Everyone at Run & Play MD takes phenomenal care of the dogs they walk and seriously bond with the dogs. One thing I really enjoy is that activities are varied -- it's not just a quick loop around the same block every day. Run & Play MD's services keep the dogs engaged and active...they even find modified ways to exercise on rainy days. As a pet owner, it's a huge relief to know your dogs are in great hands while you're away (sometimes as far as 1500 miles) from home. Would recommend to any dog owner who cares that their pet get love, attention, and exercise while they are away during the day!
Jennifer and Run and Play were great at fulfilling all of mine and my dog's needs. My German Short Haired Pointer, Grady, has tons of energy and loves being off leash. Jennifer was able to get him the exercise he needs and loves. She always provided updates via text or email on their play dates. I definitely recommend Run and Play to all dog owners in or near Silver Spring, MD
Jennifer at Run and Play goes above and beyond to make sure our dog, Zelda, is happy and comfortable. We love Jennifer's enthusiasm and hints for making our dog feel loved. Zelda does not get excited to see many visitors in our home - but Run and Play walkers are the exception!
We have used Run and Play for regular walks for our rescue pit mix. Our dog can be tricky, as she's not always friendly with other dogs. Both Jennifer and Jimmy have been unfailingly reliable, caring, and professional in taking care of our girl!
Jen and her team of walkers really care for our pet as their own. It is always comforting to have Sir Luke spend time with Run and Play. Most important, knowing he is in safe environment allows us to enjoy our time away. Thank you Jen and team for nearly a decade of service. The Dennis Family.
I can't say enough good things about Jennifer and her team. We moved to DC about 3 months ago and she has been a lifesaver with helping with walking and boarding for our active springer spaniel, Oliver. She is very responsible and great with communication about what's happening with the dogs. She takes photos while they're boarding so you can see what they're up to. And most importantly, it's very clear that she loves the dogs, and they love her...Oliver barks at almost everyone who comes into our house but wags his tail excitedly when she enters. I highly recommend this company!!
Jennifer is much, much, more than a dog walker; she genuinely loves life and does her best to sustain it at every level. She is knowledgeable, personable, and caninable. She pays attention to detail. is accessible, and provides immediate feedback and helpful hints. She is a nurturer and gets my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation. Oh, and Lola, our 14yo Black Lab loves her too.
My big dog does not like most person when met. But he likes Mr Moore so much. I can not write more because of english. Great!
We are so thankful for Blue Dog! We live in DC and boarding and daycare in the city can be expensive and hard to get into. Blue Dog is a great affordable choice for us and Quinn loves staying with them for boarding. They have great options for walks, snacks, and playtime while she is boarding with them at an affordable rate. I know that Quinn is well taken care of and looked after when she stays there. Quinn can be very anxious in new situations but the staff have always been understanding and attentive to her needs helping her feel more comfortable. Their grooming services are also fantastic and I am always so pleased with how great she looks afterwards. She always comes back from Blue Dog extra happy!
We found Blue Dog through a family friend. Her son works there and loved/recommended the place. And our Emily LOVES it. Janet and the staff gave us some very helpful feeding suggestions that have worked amazingly well. All we have to do is say by by car and Emily know the FUN that awaits and jumps in the car as family as four leggdly possible to see some friends. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emily! David and the family. ;)
My dog has been going to Blue Dog for over 3 years. Every time he goes, he always has a great experience. The staff takes great care of my dog. The staff is very friendly and they love my dog. My dog love going there. When we get there, he's ready to go in and play. At the end of the day, he comes home with a report card. I love the report card. It has great details about his day.
They took very good care of our dogs while they were boarded. The owner Janet is a lovely person who clearly cares deeply about animals. She went way above and beyond to help me with obtaining emergency medical care for my pet (not associated with boarding) while I was in the midst of a personal crisis. She is competent and responsible. You can trust your pets with Janet and Blue Dog Boarding.
I have a two dogs Zola and Zorak and they stay at Blue Dog durring our trips!! The staff have a genuine and an overly friendly attitude when you greet them!! I would recommend Blue Dog to anyone with a fluffy companion :D!!
I started taking my dog to doggie daycare at Blue Dog about two months ago. He doesn't go often---no more than once a week. I am so impressed with every aspect of Blue Dog Boarding and Daycare. The first day I was nervous about leaving my dog someplace new. The staff completely reassured me, telling me the schedule and answering all my questions. Every single employee that I've dealt with there has been kind, understanding and professional. They are very firm about dogs being up to date on all vaccinations, which I really appreciate. Since that first day, my dog is eager to go with the staff member who meets us at the car. His social skills with other dogs are improving. I highly recommend Blue Dog Boarding and Daycare.
I have been very happy with the care and responsiveness of Blue Dog. We adopted a high energy lab mix with poor socialization history. They have provided great care for him while keeping the safety of all dogs a priority. We can see so much progress in him with the assistance from the care from Blue Dog. I also really appreciate the response to my inquiries. They provide me with feedback and support that goes above just a business. They truly care about the dogs.
My dog, Luna, goes to Blue Dog weekly for daycare and occasionally for overnight stays. We are very happy with Blue Dog and highly recommend it to other dog owners. When I drop off Luna at Blue Dog she is always so excited and she is in great spirits when I pick her up.
Blue Dog has been the most professional boarding and daycare my dog has ever experienced.Their thoughtful and intentional care of my dog has always been impressive. My dog loves to go play and often doesn't want to leave. During a health scare at their location they communicated frequently and thoroughly about the situation. Even my veterinarian was impressed with their handling of a challenging situation.
Blue Dog Boarding and Daycare is amazing from the care and services you’re pet will receive. Janet and the rest of the staff are such caring and communicative people. The proof is in the picture I added. These boys love Blue Dog and everything about it. If I could give 1000 stars I would. Blue Dog is great and I would’ve bring my fur family anywhere else but here!💞
Josephine and Chris are a godsend! We have a very energetic and dog reactive Pudelpointer and they have been taking great care of her off and on for the last 2 years. She gets plenty of love and has been able to socialize with many dogs which is helpful in her behavior training. Highly recommended service!
Chris and his team have been so wonderful! Chris is responsive, and works with my ever-changing schedule, and is great with my dog. I love that he uses the Pet Check technology - I get an email when they arrive, and again when they leave with a note about the walk, and sometimes a picture :) Paying invoices is smooth and easy. After using two other dog walkers, we've stuck with Chris for quite some time now and I highly recommend using him and his team.
We've used Chris and Peticular Charm Per Care several times. They've always done a great job and have been consistent, reliable, and professional. Our dogs are French Bulldogs and they have special needs. Chris and team did a great job with them and the dogs loved them. Finally, you can tell when you meet Chris and team that they are really animal lovers...
I highly recommend Peticular Charm Pet Care to anyone who is looking for dog walking services in the DC area. Chris is always very responsive and helpful when I reach out to him via email about scheduling extra walks or cancelling walks. Our little dog adores his walker and looks forward to his daily afternoon walks. Our walker is diligent in checking in with us and texting us updates as needed. Lastly, the app used by Peticular Charm is very convenient--you can see when your dog was walked, what route they took, and what your dog, ahem, *did* on his walk. I really trust Peticular Charm to look after my dog and give him the walks he craves in the middle of the day.
Chris and his team of walkers are great. Mark has walked our dog for a number of months and we've been super happy (as has our puppy). Their use of the Pet Check system makes tracking and paying for service so easy and convenient. We have recommended them to several families already and will continue to do so.
I’m thrilled with the dog walking services of PETicular Charm! The owner, Chris, came by to meet our little guys, took notes on behavior and routine. Very good rates! An added plus is that Chris and his crew can board a dog at the last minute in case we have an emergency. I trust Chris and his employees explicitly with our dogs and our house! Chris is also a very well read, traveled, cultured musician with a fascinating life. My dogs are in interesting company - kinda jealous!
The team at Peticular Charm has been great! We use them for daily walks, doggy daycare once a week, and they also watched our 8 month old puppy when we were out of town for a week. They sent daily pictures and videos so that we knew our puppy was having a good time. Honestly, I think our puppy would rather live with his friends from Peticular Charm than us!
We met Chris while he was out walking one of his clients and enjoyed talking with him so much, we decided he would be our new dog walker. He is reliable and wonderful with our scaredy-pup. I've recommended him to our neighbors and friends, and we rest easy when we leave town knowing Chris is looking in on our pup.
We have had multiple dog walkers in the last few years and Chris and his team are definitely some of the best. Peticular Charms is very accommodating, very flexible and reasonably priced. They use Petcheck technology, which is great. I highly recommend Peticular Charms.
Peticular Charm City dog walker was absolutely the best! She not only walked my pup she also did the overnights, all on a very short notice! So thanks a million to Chris and his great walker Annie! Otto adores you......
I would HIGHLY recommend Bella to anyone!!! There are no words to describe how wonderful Bella is! I found Bella almost 2 years ago when I first got my dog, Roxy, and ever since she could not be more reliable. She is so great with her and treats her as if she is her own (and her kids love Roxy too!). I know for a fact that she is well taken care of while I am traveling and that makes me feel 1000x better; I don't need to worry about the love she is receiving while I'm away! Bella is always flexible and willing to care for her. Have appreciated Bella and will continuously use her for years to come!
CANNOT RECOMMEND BELLA ENOUGH! We have had Bella take care of our dog for the past 2 years when we go out of town. After a bad experience with a doggy day care center that felt impersonal and cold, Bella was a breath of fresh air. When our dog is with her, he really is a part of the family and I am able to relax while away because I know he’s in great hands. Our dog enjoys playing with her children and even going to work with Bella at the pet hospital. She is able to provide pick up and drop offs, lots of pictures every day as well as some grooming services. Bella is also very flexible and easy to contact. Our dog always returns exhausted and well cared for. Anyone should feel comfortable with their pet in her care. We cannot recommend her enough!
Bella has cared for our two dogs and diabetic cat for over a year now, and she is truly fantastic! She is flexible, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure our fur-babies are happy and healthy. She has accommodated all sorts of issues for us, including last minute schedule changes and medication administration. Our dogs are usually nervous around people, but they always have a great time with Bella. She is also great about keeping us informed and sends plenty of photos after each visit. I cannot recommend her services highly enough - without Bella, we wouldn’t be able to travel nearly as much as we have lately! I am so comfortable with Bella caring for our animals. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!!
Bella is awesome! She’s been watching my dogs for over 3 years now and has always done an amazing job with them. She is very attentive, sends updates often, and offers pick-up and drop-off services. I know that anytime I leave my dogs with Bella and her family they will be well loved and well played with.
Bella did an amazing job taking care of our healthy cat and our sick cat while we were away. She administered medication as prescribed and provided daily updates to the worried pet parents. Bella was lovely to talk with and also took good care of our home. I highly recommend her!
Bella has been wonderful with my pups. In addition to taking great care of them, she keeps me well informed on how their doing by sending pics with every visit including fun selfies. They adore her and it’s very reassuring knowing they are safe while I’m away in travel.
I highly recommend Bella! My little pup, Zoey received the care and attention she needed. Bella is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. It was incredibly helpful and comforting to me knowing Bella is an experienced vet technician since Zoey has some GI sensitivity. I love all the pics and videos Bella sent. She even had Zoey FaceTime me! You will not be disappointed!
I absolutely love this place! I’m so grateful for Ena and Lena and the care they provide. I met with Ena the day I needed to drop off my guinea pigs for the holidays and I could tell she is so passionate about the care she provides to animals. I received daily communication about my guinea pigs along with a daily picture while out of town. They’re also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times; I didn’t have to miss work to drop off my furbabies and I was able to get them shortly after arriving back in town. This was my first time being away from them for an extended period of time and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for them. If you have small pets and you need a sitter, choose this place. You won’t be disappointed!
I brought my two guinea pigs (Baba Ghanoush and Razzle-Dazzle) to stay at Ensure for a week while I was out of town. I was immediately struck by how much the owner cares about small animals. I had been anxious since I had never boarded the guinea pigs before, but she set my mind at ease and told me exactly how she was going to take care of them while I was gone. The set up is extremely clean and colorful, with lots of safe places for guinea pigs to explore during floor time. They are given lots of attention, fresh hay, and juicy fruits and vegetables. In addition, I was sent detailed updates (with adorable photos) of my guinea pigs almost every day. They returned home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Ensure PetCare and I will certainly be using them again!
When I went on vacation for a week, I was really stressed trying to figure out what to do with my cat and hoping for an alternative to boarding her somewhere that would have her in a cage all day. I found Lena's Ensured PetCare and it was perfect. She was quick to respond and very reasonably priced. My cat got to run around in a home rather than being confined in a kennel, and Lena sent me updates and several photos (two of which are attached) every other day. High quality care and definitely worth it. 10/10 would recommend!
We were happy to board with Ensure PetCare! They were very friendly and communicative and gave lots of love and attention to our buns. The space was cozy, clean and very cute!
I had a great experience boarding my guinea pigs here for two weeks! It was my first time boarding them, so I was pretty nervous, but Lena and Ena took amazing care of them. I got daily updates and photos, they cut their nails, and even bathed them for me! If you're looking for a reliable, professional pet boarding service, look no further!
Took great care of our cat for the week we were gone! Sent lots of photos and detailed descriptions of how he was every day so we didn’t worry. The sitters are very friendly and accommodating, and you can tell they really care about your pets’ well being.
Ensure provided me an excellent service for a great price. While I was on my trip, I was assured that my fur baby was being taken care of. I was given daily updates that included pictures to show that my guinea pig was happy and safe. Drop off and pick up was also an easy process. They are easy to reach and flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. I am grateful I was able to find them before going overseas. Other businesses charged an excessive amount for similar services that weren't worth the price. I will be returning to this business again.
I left my cat Cool with Ensure for almost two weeks. Every day I received an update and photos. Cool roamed free and received lots of stimulation and attention, and even had supervised encounters with other small animals. It was very clear that Ensure is run by true animal lovers. They were flexible with drop off and pick up, responsive to all emails, and very pleasant to deal with. It was the first time I had left Cool with someone and it got to the point where I wondered if he would even want to come home after all of the love and excitement he had at Ensure.
Lena took great care of my cat for 6 weeks while I was traveling at the end of the year. I was nervous to be away for so long but Lena provided update often with videos, snaps and pictures that made me feel at ease. She gave me a great price and I would use her again anytime. My cat was very fond of her.
Highly recommend Ensure! Our rabbits got time to play in tunnels during the day, and they were given tons of attention. We also go daily pics and updates which was awesome. Also the space itself is decorated in the coolest way, it’s so cozy and comfy. I live an hour away, but it was well worth the drive and we’ll definitely be back!
