Pet Sitters in Potomac Mills

The staff is so friendly. I can tell the staff enjoys working there which in turn transfers to how well they take care of my pup. They are wonderful and my dog, Lilly, loves going to daycare. She is excited when I drop her off and tired when I pick her up (which is a good thing). They are diligent in ensuring the safety of the pups by enforcing the appropriate handler to dog ratio and ensuring vaccines are up to date. I highly recommend The Dog Eaze Inn for daycare. 10 Stars!

I cannot recommend Dog Eaze Inn highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease knowing my little dog was in such caring and professional hands. The staff is incredibly welcoming and genuinely loves animals, which shows in every interaction. The facility is spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with dogs' comfort and safety in mind. My pup especially enjoyed the supervised playtime with other dogs—it's clear that the team takes great care in matching pets with compatible playmates. What stood out the most was the personalized attention my dog received. The staff made sure to follow his feeding schedule and provided plenty of cuddles and TLC, which is so important for a smaller, more sensitive pup like mine. I also loved the updates I received while my dog was there. The photos and notes about his activities put my mind at ease and reassured me that he was having the best time. Dog Eaze Inn truly goes above and beyond to make both pets and their owners feel cared for. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving place for your dog, this is it. My little guy always comes home happy and tired from all the fun. Thank you, Dog Eaze Inn!

My dog is reactive and shy, but let me tell you... this place did a wonderful job working with my dog, Flaco, and getting him to not only open up but socialize with more than one person. They always take great care of him, and they were even able to give him a bath! Which is unheard of for my dog. I'd never thought it would be possible for him to even make friends, but I am grateful I found Dog Eaze Inn to not only treat my dog with love and care but to also have him open up. Thank you!!!!

Lola always loves staying at the Dog Eaze Inn. They always fuss all over her and make her feel loved & special! We love them! This last time her tail was wagging so hard when she saw where we were arriving to when we dropped her off! She couldn’t wait to see all her friends there (and meet lots of new ones!!!). When we picked her up, while she was happy to see us, she definitely was sad to go! Thanks, as always, to the staff there for taking such good care of our girl!

Dog Eaze Inn seems understaffed and unorganized. I have attempted to make boarding reservations on a couple occasions and reaching an employee was challenging. I had to play phone tag several times before reaching someone that could assist. I had scheduled a tour of the facility prior to finalizing reservations and was provided a time, only to show up and be told they didn’t have the staff available to accommodate the time they scheduled. There’s too many red flags regarding this business for me to entrust them with boarding my dog when they don’t seem capable of managing schedules or appropriately staffing enough personnel to assist customers and attend to the pets in their care. UPDATED REPLY(11/22/2024): Thank you for the explanation and I do understand the issue with limited personnel. Unfortunately, I believe that contributed to the communication problems as I tried to call to cancel my initial tour but there wasn’t an actual person to receive my call prior to your cut off time for tours. I called to reschedule at 3pm the next day. I was advised by your receptionist to arrive prior to 4:45pm. I explained I was on my way and arrived at 4:10pm, whereby she explained she could not accommodate me after telling me different just an hour ago. After driving an hour in traffic and then told otherwise is unacceptable. Also, I appreciate the booking information and completely understand being full, but my issue again is that prompt communication could have resolved the situation more amicably. If a situation were to occur whereby I needed to relay time sensitive information during boarding or daycare, I lack confidence in a timely response due to the communication shortfalls.

Nikko looked happy when we picked him up after 3 days and 3 nights. He seemed to have had a pleasant stay. The staff are very nice and caring.

I would personally stay there...lol...think I'd fit in a crate? I found everything very clean and different packages for boarding to meet your needs. We went with the middle one and when we picked our girl up, she was clean and happy. The Staff is totally awesome and even washed the containers we sent with Tootsie's food. I totally give them 5 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 and we will be back...Thank You! Tootsie is with our new rescue we adopted, so you'll get to meet her too!

The Dog Eaze does fantastic with handling reactive dogs. My dog does not play well with other dogs but every time I've boarded him here he was kept in his own private area to play and room to sleep. They make pick up and drop off safe for him by requesting visitors do not bring their dog into the office while other dogs are in there. He has also had many appointments for grooming and they have always been so quick and caring and I personally think the prices for this service for a Large Standard Poodle are very reasonable. We are moving away soon and I will miss having Dog Eaze just down the road. Thank you for all the love and care you have given to my dog throughout the years. I am so thankful for all of the employees who played, bathed, gave tuck ins, fed, and cuddled him while I was away.

I boarded my black Labrador at the Dog Eaze Inn for three nights. He was very calm when I picked him up. He ate his dry food and chewable Cosequin pill every night. I highly recommend The Dog Eaze Inn.

As always, great service. Staff is courteous and friendly and take great care of my dog. Highly recommend to board. Trimmed dog’s nails while there. Not much more to say except really great place.

Alex is the best doggie trainer and he treats my dog like family. I wanted to get her trained up as a puppy and he learned her mannerisms to understand her trouble areas. He offers group walk training in local neighborhoods or more crowded areas to help dogs get accustomed to noises people and other dogs. He also does one on one training and has helped watch my dog when I was on work trip. He's so good with her and he has his own dog, which is her new bestie.

Alex is fantastic with dogs. I have a German Shepard and Collie mix. My German Shepard had a bad habit of jumping on people and Alex was able to stop that behavior. He was very good in handling both my dogs. My Shepard has been with Alex since he was a pup and he’s very good with people and when he goes on his walks with other dogs. I highly recommend Commonwealth Pet Care for your training. Thanks Alex for all you do👍 Anne Marie Smith.

This is the long overdue review for Alex. I have been struggling with the reactivity of my three pomeranians for a long time. I had tried group classes, private lessons, and online resources, but I didn't see any significant changes. When I contacted Alex, he invited me to join the group walk where my girls could get exposure to other dogs and strangers. The group walk provides a controlled environment where they can learn appropriate behaviors and build their confidence. Alex is there to correct the inappropriate behaviors of dogs and educate us on how we can improve things. His method works, and I am already seeing improvements. The girls are not perfect yet, but they are on the right track. P.S. Not only Alex, but also the group is wonderful. They are very kind and understanding. Thank you everyone for being so nice to the girls.

If you are in search of a professional dog training service, we recommend Commonwealth Pet Care, LLC. Under the expert guidance of owner Alex Bonilla, our two-year-old Labrador Retriever, Charlie, has made significant progress. Charlie attends doggie daycare during the week, allowing him to socialize, but his excitement and unaltered status have led to some challenges, particularly with larger breeds. To manage and control his excitement, we reached out to Alex for assistance. From the beginning, Alex demonstrated a genuine care for Charlie, employing a calm and composed training style that is both effective and reassuring. His ability to connect with dogs is incredible, and it’s clear that he possesses an innate talent for training. With Alex's support, we have seen encouraging improvements in Charlie's behavior, making our experience with Commonwealth Pet Care truly invaluable. We highly recommend their services to any pet owner looking to enhance their dog's training and behavior.

I can’t recommend Commonwealth Pet Care enough! I’ve worked with Alex over the past several months training my puppy, Willow. He is patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. He provides immediate feedback and demonstrates what to do to properly train a dog. He also provides written instructions to reference when I’m training her. Willow has made immense progress on her areas of concern and has mastered basic commands. We have attended group walk and train sessions as well which are wonderful for socializing her as well. I highly recommend Commonwealth Pet Care.

We've been working with Alex for going on 2 years this fall. He is a wonderful trainer and really works with you to help focus on areas of concern. We started when our dog was a puppy and she naturallt has a very nervous temperament and Alex has really helped us get her socialized well so that she is great around other people and she's getting ok around other dogs. We'll keep up the training with him until her confidence with other dogs is really built up. You can tell he really cares about the dogs he works with. We have also used him for boarding and had a good experience. Definitely highly recommend!!

Alex has been great with both of our dogs! He both trains and boards our dogs. He has been fantastic with our 1-year-old rambunctious big puppy in getting behavioral skills and basic training, as well as our anxious and high-need 14-year-old small dog. He is patient, communicative, and easy to work with. We are grateful we have found him!

Alex helped us with our fearful foster pup Josie in the Fall of 2022. He gave us practical and useful documentation so that we could gain the skills to help Josie succeed. We met with Alex at least once a week for several months for hands-on training, which helped Josie become more accepting of new surroundings and people. With Alex’s assistance Josie’s fears decreased and she was able to be adopted by a wonderful and patient family that vowed to continue her training. Josie is thriving today thanks to Alex’s training.

We came to Commonwealth Pet Care from a recommendation from our vet. Our pup Stella was extremely fearful of people and other dogs and we were afraid this fear would lead to aggression. From the first “meet and greet” with Alex we knew we had found a great trainer for Stella. Alex was extremely professional and knowledgeable from the beginning. He identified Stella’s needs right away. Alex worked around our schedule and was very accommodating. Through Alex’s classical conditioning techniques Stella has become a confident and secure pup who loves to meet new people and other dogs. We have seen such a huge improvement in her behavior in such a short amount of time. We strongly recommend Alex to anyone looking for an experienced, compassionate and kind trainer. We will not hesitate to use Alex again in the future.

Alex is INCREDIBLE! He’s been working with us and our puppy Roxy for a few months and we can see a drastic improvement in our rambunctious dogs behavior. One thing I really appreciate about Alex is that you can tell he genuinely really loves and cares for each of the dogs he trains. He’s extremely personable and we like his method of training (positive reinforcement). His dog Apache has also been such a positive influence for Roxy and has helped her learn how to play appropriately and control her puppy biting. He’s also helped us connect with other new dog owners in the area to coordinate walks and puppy play dates (which has been difficult due to COVID). He’ll reach out to my husband and I during the week to check on Roxy’s progress and is easy to reach if we have questions. Alex is amazing and you’re doing yourself and your dog a disservice if you don’t use him to train you dog!

Tails and Whiskers is a very reliable, organized, and professional company. Many fail safes were in place, in case of an emergency situation. I felt assured and informed each day of my vacation that my pets were being well cared for, with an attentive caretaker. They were well fed and watered; the litter boxes were clean and neat. They even gathered my mail inside. I highly recommend this service. I will use again with confidence.

I am thrilled to have found Tails and Whiskers! We had a sitter come visit our kitty boys for 10 days while we were out of town and we got daily updates and photos through an easy to use app. The company is well run and has the most loving people to care for your pets. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future needs!

Frankie and Terry are BOTH so amazing. Bruno can be a bit nervous with new people and Frankie was so patient with him. He loves his afternoon walks and it gives us such peace of mind knowing that he is card for!!

Frankie and her assistants are top-notch reliable, caring, observant, and professional. We have worked with many sitters through a lifetime of living with cats, and we can’t ask for better service or communication…trustworthy of our beloved friends.

Tails & Whiskers has been amazing for us and our dog, Roxy! Frankie and Liz go above and beyond to make sure Roxy is taken care of and we feel at ease. Roxy is very timid at first but they continue to work with her and help her adjust to them. They definitely know how to take care of every type of dog/animal. We have used Tails & Whiskers for overnight sitting and drop in visits and will continue to use them for as long as we can!

This was our first opportunity to use Tails & Whiskers Pet Sitting and it did not disappoint. From the initial meet and greet with Frankie, to the car Alexis gave our Bogey (cat), we felt we were in good hands. So glad we found them!!

We had never left our cats with anyone besides family— so I was nervous— however from the first contact I had with Frankie I was at ease. She even won over our super shy and anxious cat! She sent pictures of our cats almost everyday she watched them which really brightened our days, making it easier to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we got home it was obvious our cats had been very well taken care of. Frankie was very communicative and professional! Will definitely be using her business again!

I have been using Tails and Whiskers Pet Sitting for many years and would not dream of using anyone else to walk or sit for my dogs. I have recommended them to several friends and everyone has been extremely satisfied with their services. Frankie the owner has been wonderful with all my dogs through sickness and health. She caters to the needs of each individual pet and genuinely cares for them. She is very reliable and never hesitates to help me out at the last minute or adjust the schedule for me. My dogs adore her and I’m so glad I discovered Tails and Whiskers for my pets. I highly recommend you give her a call, you will be happy you did!

Tails & Whiskers Pet Sitting definitely deserves 5 stars! Frankie and her team are extremely reliable and cared for our two cats so very well while we were away. They really went out of their way to make sure our feline family members had everything they needed. Awesome service!! Absolutely recommend them!

We have been using Tails & Whiskers for over a year now for our pet sitting needs for our fat cat, Bear. The website is easy to use for booking and paying in advance for our reservations. Frankie is fantastic! She lets us know how Bear is doing each day via text and brushes him, which sends him into a purring drooling frenzy. She brings in the mail and will water plants/turn on sprinklers for us in addition to taking good care of our fatty. The litter box area is clean when we come home, which is more than I can say for other places we have used previously where litter had been tracked all over the house by the caretaker’s shoes. Coming home from a long trip to a cat litter mess was stressful and frustrating. I don’t have to do anything when I come home after Frankie has been here! Most of all I know Bear has someone who loves animals and is excited to see him. We have used other pet sitting services in the area and could tell that they did not spend any time with him. They would bring in the mail, feed him and leave. We want to make sure that his emotional well being is taken care of, so I can rest easy when we go out of town, knowing Tails & Whiskers is on the case! Highly recommend.

We have been using All Breeds for many years now and they are fantastic. David abs Eric are amazing with our girl and take great care of her! They send detailed reports after each walk and pics, which make my day! We highly recommend them, if you've been looking for a reliable dog/pet sitter you have found them! I can't say enough great things about them and the company!

Eric and Owen have been giving my boys mid-day breaks for a few months. I always get reports about how the visits go and what they did with the boys. They also bring in my too frequent packages from the porch. My job and life seem a bit chaotic at times, but Eric always finds a way to accommodate my crazy schedule, even last minute changes. And this great service comes at very reasonable rates. I highly recommend All Breeds Dog Walking!!

We absolutely love All Breeds! We have received nothing but excellent service! Our fur baby loves all the walkers (David, Eric, and Owen). He gets so excited when the doorbell rings (and disappointed if it's not them :) Highly recommend

This business is just amazing! They take great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats every time we travel!! Eric is excelent. Him and his team really do take care of our babies as if they were theirs!! He is reliable, he gives plenty of comunication and updates. Could not recomend more!!!

Dave is remarkable and provides incredible care for my dog. He has even helped my pup become more confident and comfortable on walks. They are reliable, and send me reports after every walk. I can’t recommend this group enough if you’re looking for someone to help you when you’re gone for a long time and need help.

Roxie is amazing! She is very detailed & makes sure my babies are always taken care of. They have amazing rates and no other dog walking service compares to them! Thank you for all you do.

We have been using All Breeds for several years now and they have never missed a beat. Our girls love Eric and David. They’re extremely responsive and always go the extra mile. I can’t see our family ever using another company.

Really can’t say enough about All Breeds. I was having such a difficult time finding a dog walker in our budget and one who was also flexible. My husband and I both work in customer service and our schedules tend to be all over the place. All Breeds allowed us the flexibility to switch days when needed, even if it was a last minute change, and have always done their best to come at the time we requested. Our dog has had three different walkers and each of them have been so amazing with our girl and you can tell they care very much about the pets!

We have been using All Breeds as both a dog walking service and a pet sitter for the past 2 years. I cannot say enough good things about this service. When we started with them we were just coming out of a bad experience with a different pet sitter and really needed to find another reliable company very quickly. All Breeds did not disappoint. They showed up to meet our little zoo, consisting of three cats and two dogs, the day after we called and started almost immediately. The dogs loved going on walks with Barbara and Maria. And when we traveled and used All Breeds to pet sit our cats, we always knew they were in good hands. The cats were happy, plants were watered, and the mail was brought in. Barbara and Maria always provided photos after each service which was a really nice personal touch. We are moving out of town and I sure hope we can find a company as good as All Breeds at our new location.

High recommendation! We enjoyed having Barbara take care of our 2 large dogs while we were away. Barbara made multiple visits ahead of the service dates in order to get acquainted and make sure both would be comfortable. We especially appreciate her knowledge of dog behavior, professionalism, friendly style and willingness to take on a challenge. Great service and excellent experience! We look forward to working together with All Breeds again in the future.

We went out of town for a long weekend and left our senior cat at home. Land and Sea Pet Care was amazing. If I could give more stars, I would! Aimee was very tentative to our cat and even brought mail in and ensured lights were kept on for him. She is also incredibly kind, along with her husband! I will definitely use them again and will recommend them to anyone in Montclair!

We LOVE Land and Sea!!! They watch all 3 of our dogs and take such good care of them. We know that our dogs are getting lots of love and special attention when Aimee comes, they get so excited to see her! It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in good hands so we can enjoy a night out or a day trip with no worries. If you are in need of someone to care and love your pet while you are gone, look no further, we highly recommend Aimee and her business!! So glad we found her!

Aimee has taken care of our two dogs a few times now and she is fantastic! Very reliable and knowledgeable about animals. I trust her completely. Super nice and keeps us informed while we’re gone. Gives me great peace of mind while we have to be away from our puppies. I would recommend her to anyone!

I highly recommend Land and Sea Pet Care LLC. Aimee and Nancy think of literally everything that needs to be taken care of while you are away (even things you wouldn't think about). Aimee watched my elderly cat (23) for over a week and did a great job. She is very accommodating to you and all of your pet’s needs. She provided photos and updates every day which helped me not be as stressed leaving her.

Land and Sea is the perfect company for pet care; we have had such great experiences with them caring for our two dogs. They are so great about really getting to know your animals and keeping you updated on how they're doing while you're away, which is a huge relief when traveling. I would absolutely recommend them for pet care to everyone in the area.

Aimee is absolutely amazing, thorough, and so sweet with our fur babies. I was so nervous about leaving our pets for a trip, but she went above and beyond to ensure they were well taken care of while we were gone. I HIGHLY recommend Land and Sea Pet Care! We will use them in the future!

I highly recommend Land and Sea Pet Care. I used them for cat sitting when I was new to the area and didn't know anyone - they were recommended by the local moms group. I was blown away by their communication, responsiveness, and care. Each day while I was out of town, my cats got food, water, and a clean litter box, but they also got attention, brushing, playing, and a significant amount of visiting time. Both Aimee and Nancy took care of my cats, and were even able to give medication to a notoriously difficult cat! Not to mention the fact that their prices are extremely reasonable. I will definitely be using them again the next time I go out of town!

Lots of love and care from Land and Sea Pet Care! They love your pets as if they are their own. Always working with your schedule. A nice note and photo from them each visit! They are part of our family!

We couldn't be more happy with Land and Sea Pet Care! They were able to fit us in when we called last minute, and treated our dog and family as if we were long time clients. We will be using them again, and highly recommend them.

We have had two great experiences with this company. One was a week long summer vacation with daily updates and pictures. The other was one walk for a day trip. This company is always willing to go the extra mile and is well priced. Our dog is picky with people, and loves Aimee! Would recommend to anyone in Montclair, VA!

Theresa did an excellent job with Simba. He is anxious when I leave and often does not eat when I’m away. I knew he felt comfortable with Theresa because he ate everyday. The daily updates and pictures were so reassuring and helped me not miss Simba so much. Would highly recommend her services.

We have had 4 Paws Dog Walker for a couple of weeks now. Our pups look forward to their walk and are very excited when Sarah arrives.

Teresa and company have been our walkers for years now. My dogs love them, and they take great care of them!

My wife and I were leaving town for the extended Memorial Day weekend and family was unavailable to watch our two dogs so we decided to research various dog sitters in the local area. I was admittedly hesitant about a new person entering my house while away, but after calling multiple companies and speaking with various individuals, Teresa at 4 Paws Walker put us both at ease. From the initial consultation with our pups to the daily text messages with their activity updates and photos, we could not have asked for a better experience. Teresa even went out of her way to play with our two cats - a wonderful and unexpected treat. Needless to say, we are both extremely appreciative to now have a designated "go-to" pet sitter when the time calls, someone who we trust with our extended furry family!

Teresa and her staff are nothing short of amazing. I have relied on her for many years. Her communication and update on the kitties is always up to date and daily. She goes above and beyond and I trust her blindly with everything. She even rectified a situation I was having with my plumbing. If 10 stars was an option She would have them all.

Teresa watched our 2 boxers while we were on vacation and my husband and I couldn't have been happier with the quality of service. She took such good care of them and it really put us at ease while we were gone.

Mony has cared for our dogs for several years and she is the most loving, dependable person I could ask for. My dogs love her, and we trust her completely.

Amy & Jesus are an amazing team!! I had an emergency and I need it for someone to care for my dog Lucy. I need it doggy daycare while she recovered from surgery. They send me a report cards, plenty of pictures. They were not afraid to ask me questions prior and during the stay. They were comfortable to give her medication and clean her incision also need it to do warm compresses. Best Care! Great team! 2000% recommended.

Amy and Jesus took care of my 2 dogs for the past 2 years prior to moving. They communciated with me effecftively for scheduling and were amazing with my dogs. My dogs were always so exicted when they arrived at the house! They are a great choice for dog care needs!

They have my trust when it comes to my babies. They will take care of your pet/Family member as if they are their own and that it’s hard to find. Thank you guys for all the help and caring you always shown us, You guys are the best!

Amy and Jesus are a wonderful, caring couple. Their dogs are very sweet. If you have a dog that does better in a home setting rather than a "normal" boarding kennel, this is definitely for you.

Jesus and Amy were an excellent and trustworthy resource when we needed help taking care of our pooch. They came out to the house to meet and our dog Murphy and go over any of his specific needs. As dog owners themselves, they were knowledgeable of and very accommodating to Murphy food sensitivities. They provided a text update and pictures from each visit. Overall, I was quite happy with their services and will use them again. James Weil

Jesus is a very professional at his job, he genuinely cares about the pets he is with. He’s truly a person with a kind soul. I would recommend him to literally anyone! My dog absolutely loves him.

What a great find. I have never left Sophie so I needed to find someone who loves her as much as I do…thank God I found Jesus…Sophie doesn’t take to many people but she was happy and relaxed with Jesus…if you are looking for a great dog walker look no more…we love these guys…

Jesus & Amy are a fantastic pair! Great communication and expert care. Jesus took wonderful care of our kitty while we were away. I really loved getting pictures and a daily update on how she was doing. Will definitely book with them again.

Jesus and his family did an amazing job with my 3 dogs. Jesus was extremely professional. He sent pictures of them and updates. One of my dogs has anxiety and he worked with her to be comfortable. Will definitely use them again!

They have been so accommodating of our schedules and treat our unapologetically spoiled French bulldogs with loving and attentive care. We’re so happy to have found Obama A Peaceful Mind for our pet care needs. They have truly given us peace of mind where our dogs are concerned!

Jenn of Paw Keepers is my one and only go to pet caregiver in NOVA since 2020. Very lucky and grateful to find her services. To be able to trust someone, to come your home and not just provide essential care to your animals but real attention and affection. You can be assured your animals are safe and loved and your property respected. Jenn loves what she does and it shows in her attention and communication.

Jennifer has been taking care of our pets for several years - we absolutely love her!!! Initially she came in daily to check on our cat when we were out of town, we boarded our dog. Our dog is now a senior and doesn't do well outside the home. Jennifer stays overnite in our home when we're away. Our babies love her. She takes care of their every need, she also brings in our mail. The house is immaculate when we get back. Most importantly she truly loves and plays with the pets.

I 100% would recommend using Jennifer and Paw Keepers! Jennifer is amazing! She’s incredible with animals, very professional, reliable, and will work with you to ensure your pets’ needs are met. Whenever we would boarding our dogs at a kennel, they would come home incredibly anxious and sometimes ill. The boarding situation was panic-inducing for all of us. We decided to try Paw Keepers even though we were nervous that our two Aussies can be a bit hesitant around new people. No need to worry! Jennifer is so skilled and I think our dogs could sense that. They loved her immediately! I honestly have never seen them warm up to anyone so quickly! ( My cats loves her too!) Every time we use Paw Keepers we come home to happy and calm pets. It’s also great knowing someone is checking on the house while we are away. Jennifer will rotate lights on in the house, bring in the mail, and take up trash/garbage cans. She sends great updates of what the pets are up to and leaves a visit summary sheet with notes about the visits. And she gave my blind dog her eye drops without worry or additional fee like some kennels. I am so glad we decided to try Paw Keepers and will never go back to a kennel. Definitely give Paw Keepers a try! You, and your pets, will be so happy that you did!!!!!

It's never easy to go out of town and having to leave our fur babies. But Jennifer was wonderful. She spent great quality time with our kitties, put extra bird seed in our feeder out front, wiped down high touch surface areas, and sent a detailed daily update. Communication was fantastic. Even one of our kitt7es that is very shy around strangers allowed Jennifer to pet him. She is so good with our cats. We will definitely use Paw Keepers again and we highly recommend her services.

Our family has had a wonderful relationship with Jennifer owner of Paw Keepers that spans 15 years! She has taken care of my dogs with love and care while staying in our home. I never worry while away as I know our boys are happy. Communication is key with Jennifer. Keeping in touch with some adorable pictures of our boys or a quick cell call to catch me up on “ a day in the life of Theo and Vance”! Aside for dog sitting, Jennifer left our home in fabulous condition. The bed was changed, kitchen spotless and she took great care of of my plants and flowers. I also want to share a very personal story regarding the care Jennifer gives. My dad passed away in 2008 and Jennifer played a significant role in his care. He lived with us and while I was at work she provided elder care making his lunch and providing conversation that was so meaningful. My family and I are so grateful to have Jennifer in our lives, not only for our dogs but for us. Finding a caring, trustworthy and honorable business person is not easy. Should you need her services you will have an opportunity to work with a wonderful woman who truly has made a difference in our lives. I would never put my boys in a kennel as long as I can have Jennifer stay with them in their home.

As a life-long pet parent, I’ve been utilizing pet sitting services for nearly 30 years. My experiences have varied significantly from bad to ok. And then I found Paw Keepers! A neighbor recommended Jennifer in 2017. She’s been taking care of my pets professionally and lovingly ever since. She’s does midday walks for both of my dogs. She’s also done house sitting for my dogs and three cats, two of whom required twice daily insulin injections. It was such a relief to be able to leave my house knowing they would all be well cared for and happy when I got home. If you are looking for a reliable pet professional who will love your pet nearly as much as you do, I encourage you to reach out to Paw Keepers.

Jenn did an OUTSTANDING job taking care of our kitties. It was our first time ever leaving them alone and we were worried, especially because one of my kitties likes to pee where he shouldn’t. However, I am so happy that I had found paw keepers for our future vacays! Jenn went above and beyond, she came and introduced herself before we left, asked questions and had amazing communication skills. My kitties showed her so much affections which gets to show they trusted her!! If you are looking for a good companion for your pet Don’t hesitate and contact Jenn!

We simply cannot say enough great things about Jennifer and her Paw Keepers Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Service. Jennifer took our lab-baby Bella on her daily walks for about 3 1/2 years until we recently lost her. Bella looked forward to her time with Jennifer as she was treated like royalty each and every day. Our minds were always at complete ease knowing that Jennifer was there for Bella. Each day we received a detailed description of the visit, and if anything seemed “out of the ordinary” Jennifer never hesitated to contact us to let us know. We also have 2 cats that Jennifer always ensure they received attention. Jennifer is simply the sweetest trustworthy person we know.

Jennifer is amazing! She genuinely cares for the well-being and safety of your pets, and she is so great with them, Jennifer is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and you can tell by the care she takes with your pets! I would highly recommend Paw Keepers Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Service. It is such a relief knowing that my pets are being taken care of so well!

Jennifer is an awesome dog walker. She’s taken care of our pet for almost four years. Her attention to detail, professionalism and genuine care for our pet is unmatched. We’ve taken advantage of her services for both daily walks and overnight care during our trips out of town. We count on her to treat our pet as well (if not better) than we do. She’s an absolute treasure and we offer our strongest endorsement of her services!

I will start off by saying I like(d?) Dogtopia. Unfortunately (or fortunately), Dogtopia is franchised or owned by a large company. This location is owned by the large company. Because of this, their "ways to save money" are insanely rigid. My issue is not with the staff-- they are kind and knowledgable. My issue is with the company. Normally, a day of daycare with them is $45ish. But with a "1 day a week" plan, the plan I had, it brings it down to $40. The issue with this is the inflexibility. There was one week where their power went out after a storm. I didn't want my dogs to sit in a crate all day (and pay for it) until the power came on, so they provided me with a voucher. This voucher had to be used within 30 days, and it wasn't in place of the $40 I already spent, so I had to change my schedule around to bring them an additional day during the week. Okay... I'll take it. I cannot bring my dogs this week, so I'm out $40. There is no ability to roll over this day to another week. I cannot get a voucher. Fine, then, I'll cancel it. Not so fast-- it takes 2 weeks to "process." Which is strange, because it took them 5 minutes to put my card into the system to start charging every Monday. So, I get to continue bringing my dogs for two weeks while they "process" my cancellation, I'm out $40, and my dogs still smell like pee when I pick them up. As I said before, my issue is not with the staff, it's with the company, although, I do wish my dogs were not returned to me smelling like pee. After the mandatory two weeks, we will not be coming back.

The people at Dogtopia Woodbridge are kind, compassionate, and wonderful, and they love our pups as much as we do! They always hold fun events that pet parents enjoy, and it seems like they have fun doing them! We're so lucky to be a part of the Dogtopia family!

While my dogs love their day of play, I have recently noticed that the facility, especially the lobby smells of urine. I’ve also witnessed both of my pups smelling of urine after picking them up from a day of play. Not sure if they are using a new/different solution to clean/sanitize.

We've used this location a few times. The checkout baths have been okay but not great. We still do them because of allergies. Our dog came home ill once but has been back twice without issue. So we've always tried to roll with things and be generous and understanding. Today, my spouse missed out on a final meal with visiting family (we're military and see family once or twice a year) to go get our dog. He confirmed details with the team this morning but after arriving and waiting for our dog, the team let him know he wasn't ready and he'd need to leave and come back later...as in during the time when we're supposed to take family to the airport. We only have one car and have to move the car seat out to transport our dog so it's extra time wasted when we show up and are sent home. We basically have now lost most of the time together with family that we could have had today. And now our dog will have to wait post-bath because we can't have family miss flights. So why the review? Tried calling and couldn't get a hold of anyone. Left a voicemail but their system automatically cuts you off and hangs up on you. Really disappointed in today's experience and the grace bucket is overdrawn. We pay a premium price for boarding and in 20 years of dog ownership have never had this many issues this consistently. Again, up till now we've tried to roll with it but it's getting frustrating at this point. I hope they can do better and also fix the phone system so it doesn't hang up on vms.

Yea! Our beagle passed the meet and greet and can now go to doggie daycare. She also got washed and smells so much better. The people I encountered were so very nice and informative. When we left in the afternoon, she did not make a peep all the way home.

DOG BITE IN THEIR CARE - A MUST READ I have used this location since March 2017. My dog is 12 years old. This last visit, my dog was boarded for five days. I picked him up today and paid for the boarding. When I got him in the car I noticed that his head had lacerations. I immediately went back in and was informed that he had been hurt trying to get out of the crate - marks on his snout. Only after I then questioned the lacerations on his head that they informed me that another dog had nipped my dog. They told me the other dog was excited and that my dog did nothing wrong. They had cleaned the wounds and put Neosporin on them. Dogtopia made no attempt to notify me of the incident when it happened nor did they at the time of pick up. My little guy had two lacerations on his head and three on his nose. I am so disappointed!! They should have told me instead of letting me discover the injuries on my own. To make things worse, they refused to provide me the owner or dog information. They refused to send the shot record of the dog to the veterinarian, because it violated their privacy policy. I inquired why the owner would not consent and was told they would not ask the owner if it was alright to provide the shot record. Unbelievable!! It is not how you behave when things go well, but how well you carry yourself when they go badly.

Staff is wonderful, camera helps my anxiety, responsive, my Toby loves bubble time, and always take advance of spa service. It’s an awesome dealing to know my baby boy is safe when I’m away. Thank you Dogtopia of Woodbridge!

I am beyond disheartened by this location. I’ve been to several Dogtopia’s across the South as I have traveled a lot since getting my beloved Zuko. I understand dogs play rough and things may happen from time to time. However, if a dog is injured that should be the first thing that is said to the owner at pickup! The fact I had to go out to my car and was about to leave when I noticed a patch of fur missing from Zukos Face is absolutely unacceptable. This should not of been first noticed by me when staff are supposed to check our babies before they are brought out to us. Then when I go in to ask what happened I am basically told they have no idea and that’s he was playing pretty hard. Yes, I understand he was playing hard. I do not care about that I care that his face got hurt. I care that it was not the first thing told to me. On top of that this was my first time at this location and they didn’t even write a report card for Zuko or give me the packet to explain behaviors I may see after bringing him home. Truly I am astonished at this location. I wanted to bring Zuko here on the days where I have to go into the Office but after this. I’m not so sure. It’s not even like the mark was hard to see. It was on his dang face.

Our first play date.. the staff was wonderful and instilled confidence that Teddy was in safe hands. This was our first visit and they remembered that I had called the day before and the entire staff was very caring and kept track of all of the kids during their play date. It was a good opportunity to start socializing Teddy in a controlled environment. We will be going back. Thank you !!play date... the picture below is Teddy just after a playdate..

I know I look here for reviews of companies and services. So paying it back with Dogtopia. Discovered the company in a Google search when we first arrived in Virginia last summer and needed short notice boarding for our dog and once we had a home, some kind of weekly socialization time. Once he was screened (they ensure all dogs have their vaccinations and are vet certified healthy), he spent a month with Dogtopia Woodbridge. Since then we take him twice a week for a full day of play - he's knackered at the end of the day. The staff is always pleasant and truly love "their" dogs and we can tell he enjoys himself as well. It does cost a bit more than perhaps a home business, but my wife and I feel we are getting our money's worth with the care and attention he gets during his stay. We've boarded him since the big stay and he comes home healthy - no colds or ailments, which we've experienced before. Definitely recommend!

I found Ms. Dana and Mr. Timothy in April of 2020. We were looking for training for Holly and Jasper. After speaking with Ms. Dana we decided to take classes with them and use them for daycare. From the first time I meet them I knew I had found a forever place for our fur babies. They have a passion for what they do and care for our pups as if they are their own. I have boarded at large centers and never felt 100% comfortable but couldn't explain why. Now when we need to board I know our fur babies are being well cared for. Their training has been wonderful, my 62 pound Dalmatian doesn't walk me around the block she now walks beside me. They know all dog are different. They were able to help me with my needs for my Dalmatian as well as my miniature dachshund during classes.

Our two doodles love going to camp at Dana's. Daycare with people you can trust. AND they get a great workout.

Tim and Dana are awesome. My furbaby loves to go over for daycare and when I need boarding. My pup is always extremely tired from playing all day when she leaves from their place. I love that she gets to party until she passes out! I highly recommend them.

My grand doggie Albus has been going to dog school, doggie daycare and was boarded when we went on vacation. We know Dana and Timothy for a couple of years, Now I have a 4 month old pup Tucker and he has started doggie classes and been in doggie daycare. Both pups love it there! They don’t even look back when we drop them off! Dana and Timothy are fantastic! I know they love and care for all of the pups in their care. I love the videos and pictures they send and all the advice they give! I highly recommend them to everyone!

Words can’t not express how much we love Dana’s Dog Care. Ms. Dana and Mr. Timothy are fantastic! We didn’t want to leave our 10 month Cocker Spaniel at the vet for boarding again. We did for the first time and our baby seemed to be afraid and she was only at the vet for a day and a half. It broke my heart. I came across Dana’s Dog Care on google and boy, I was so glad. I emailed her and it took her no time to respond back to me. I was looking for a place where I can build a relationship to make sure our Bailey girl was in great hands if we ever needed day care or boarding. Dana and Timothy are VERY trustworthy, loving, honest, caring, provides fantastic care for your pets. She provides a home away from home. You can check on your baby at any point in time and she responds right back. Sends videos and pictures. Any questions you may have, Ms. Dana or Mr. Timothy puts your mind right at ease. I can’t thank God enough for blessing us with them. Hands down we will only have our Bailey girl go to Dana’s Dog Care going forward. They make you feel like you’re apart of their family! We even scheduled to have her go a few times for day care to keep her socializing and we are so excited to attend the Saturday Socials as well. Thank you Ms. Dana and Mr. Timothy for ALL you do! Paula Lee (Bailey thanks you too)

Dana and Timothy are the best! I know our big puppy is in the best hands when he is at Dana's. I am so excited and looking forward to attending training next month.

Dana does an excellent job caring for my dachshund, who is shy around other dogs. She shows love to all the dogs and is very organized in how she handle their care. We have no hesitation when we need to board him, even for long vacations.

We have been going Dana's for years. They were kind and did everything to make our dog feel comfortable while getting her nails done. One day when we went to introduce our new dogs as well, we were told they no longer take walk-ins for nails and to set an appointment. A few days later I called to set up an appointment and I was told that we do not need one and to just walk in, As we walked in there was a sign that said walk-ins are charged a different fee. We still took the dogs in and the attitude from staff was not the usual sweet disposition. I am very disappointed and will not be back, very heart crushing as I loved this place.

Our Scooter been going to Dana's & Tim for almost a year and he gets so excited when he knows he going. I am very Thankful for Dana's and Tim caring for our scooter and all the other friends they care for. What a Blessing you are to this community 😊 I am definitely recommending this place !!!! …

Amazing place and wonderful people! They take fantastic care of my fur baby! He had puppy training, obedience and now overnight boarding. He loves to visit Timothy the owner!

UPDATING Review: I felt that I needed to update my review after experiencing other doggy daycare options. I started bringing my dog here when he was a pup and he loved the smaller groups. I also was happy and comfortable knowing exactly who would be around my dog all day and knowing that they were being watched 100% of the time. I also boarded my dog with The Backyard Pack and was confident that he was being well cared for. Last year, before the pandemic hit, I added another dog to the family. She is a lot more strong willed then my older pup but she did very well at doggy daycare. Both dogs would come home exhausted and happy. Pandemic world, dogs stopped going to daycare for several months because both myself and my husband were home. When I began to go back to the office, we took advantage of another day care because they were offering 50% off their regular pricing and a neighbor that has a dog my pups love playing with, took their pup there as well. We did not take them often since we were still home a lot but it was great when we did because the 3 dogs could play together all day and would all come home completely tired out. By utilizing the other daycare service, we came to truly appreciate the Backyard Pack. With the other facility, my dogs got sick several times and my youngest was bit on 2 occasions, one being bad enough to cause an infection that required antibiotics. The Backyard pack is cleaned thoroughly and I had never previously experienced my dogs coming home sick. In addition to that, we had to board them and did so with the other facility(before the biting incidents). When we picked the pups up, we discovered that they had only been feed 50% of their meals. I would not chose to board my dogs anywhere else again. I can not say enough how much I appreciate knowing that my dogs will not be forgotten at The Backyard Pack when they are boarded this summer. My older dog also needs shots now and I know that I do not have to worry about this with Laurie and Brian. I would recommend The Backyard Pack over any other daycare if it is important to you that your dog is with people that truly care about your animal. My pups are both back in the Pack and they love this spot and the owners!

We started taking our American Staffy mix to the Backyard Pack because it was conveniently located just a few miles from work (and due to co-worker recommendations!). We have both moved on to new jobs, in the complete opposite direction of Backyard Pack, but still take our dog once every week or two. The staff is amazing, our dog comes home nice and tired, and we never have to worry about him while he's there. If we were closer, he'd go much more often. An extra perk is that Laurie (owner) is also a photographer so she can schedule Christmas, Valentines, engagement pictures while your dog is at daycare for the day. We love Backyard Pack! Just wish we were a little closer :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE The Backyard Pack! My Lab Blitz has been going to doggy daycare there for the past year. I couldn't be happier because he socializes with other dogs and is able to burn his energy during the day. Operating hours are perfect for me to drop off before work and pick up after. Laurie and Brian are wonderful with all the dogs and very experienced. Laurie is always giving advice with my pup! Highly recommend!!!!

My pup Bailey always gets so excited when we open the door to go in. I like knowing she’s in good hands and having fun with other dogs when I’m at work. I would definitely recommend Backyard Pack to anyone looking for a doggy daycare.

We have been boarding our dog at the Backyard Pack for about a year and have been very happy! Our sweet dog has traditionally not enjoyed daycare or boarding, but has no problem walking right in to play here! The dogs get individual walks, which is perfect for dogs who need a bit of reprieve from the chaos of daycare, and Laurie also has lots of advice, especially about nutrition.

We are sooooooooo in love with The Backyard Pack! Our dog absolutely loves going! We have used them for both daycare and boarding and can not say enough great things about them! We refer them to every dog owner we know because they are just wonderful people and a wonderful place. The owners have helped us understand our dog more and better meet his needs. We have asked their advice on numerous occasions about dog products and dog care and they are very knowledgeable and helpful! We are always at ease when we have to leave our dog because we know he is well taken care of and having fun, which is a tremendous relief to have found such an AMAZING place! We LOVE The Backyard Pack wholeheartedly and highly recommend them for anyone searching for a dog daycare/boarding!

After moving back to the area after living in another state for a few years, we spent a good amount of time looking for an open boarding and daycare facility for our two rescue pit bulls. Our dogs interviewed at other facilities that seemed fine but as soon as we came to The Backyard Pack, it was obvious that this was the perfect fit for us. One of our dogs is very high energy and can suffer from anxiety and our other dog is very fearful. Laurie picked up on these behaviors immediately and worked throughout their first boarding experience to help them feel comfortable and start overcoming these behaviors. When I picked them up from their first boarding stay, Laurie took the time to explain how she worked with my dogs and recommended ways that I can continue to work with them at home. I am so impressed by the care provided to my dogs and appreciate the time that was taken to not only make my dogs comfortably fit into the pack but also to help me to facilitate positive behaviors in my dogs. This is a wonderful place to bring your dogs for daycare/boarding and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a facility that you can trust to take care of your dogs like you would at home.

The Backyard Pack is an AMAZING Doggy Daycare! We have been bringing our dog, Lola, there for the past 5 months for both daycare and overnight boarding. We could not be happier with our experiences there. The owners are amazing trainers and we have learned so much about how to correct Lola's behavior. They are always willing to give us advice and ways that we can help her understand what is good behavior. We also love the concept of the open daycare, no kennels, simulated apartment that they use!

My dog loves the Backyard Pack!! Laurie and Brian provide a great home away from home for my collie. They willingly answer questions about pet care, food, toys, behavior, etc., and they're very knowledgeable. Both daycare and boarding are reasonably priced. It's a great place!

Affordable and convenient doggy daycare- my dog attends 1-2x week and they still notice when he is more active than usual or got a new collar. They have discounted services when I have foster dogs, and they post videos of the dogs playing. Dogs come home tired and happy, so it's a good value for the owner's sanity. Once your dog is an approved member, you can drop them off any day of the work week without notice, which is great for flexible schedules. Highly recommend.
