Honestly, I don't even know what to say. Joe was amazing. He took great care of our babies and kept us in the loop very well. Even Moose, who is very shy around people, ended up loving him. When we got back, he had cleaned the whole house and even did a load of towels we had neglected in a bag in the laundry room for a while! We'd be lucky to have any sitter like Joe again.
Hannah and Nathan took great care of our home and small cat zoo and we highly recommend them! Most of my interaction was with Hannah and she is well-organized, detail oriented, and timely with her communication. Leading up the stay she kept us in the loop about their travel plans and when a flight issue delayed their arrival to our house, Hannah was prompt in letting me know and apologetic about any potential issues that could cause. We so appreciate that level of consideration even though it was no problem at all. Hannah was accompanied by Nathan and their small dog, Green Bean. During the sit they sent daily updates and pix and upon our return the house was tidy, the cats were happy, my car was clean and they even washed and replaced all the linens. Hannah left us detailed notes about feedings, some accidents one of our cats had, laundry, etc. They were excellent caretakers of our house, car and cats and we would be thrilled to host them again.

I don’t leave my dogs often, because they need extra care and they are older dogs, but I went out of town for a week, Daryl sent pictures to show me how good they we’re doing .He made feel worry free. I gave him medicine to make sure that the dogs had to take every day. He made sure that was done and he was great!!, also was on time when I dropped my dogs off. No wait time when I picked them up they were well taken care of and in very good hands thank you Daryl will use you again soon😍😍!! Highly recommended!!
Great petsitting option and always listens to concerns and training suggestions. If you are working on a skill Darryl make sure to incorporate and reiterate it during the day while you fur baby is there. Our pup has been going here for almost 2 year
I thought I was making the best decision for my pets when I took my cane Corsos to Darryl . I dropped them off . I was met by Darryl he’s pretty nice personality my male is 2 yrs old and didn’t like him at all but he insisted that he stays a young lady that lives near him came up and my male attached to her quickly . I appreciate that I had a place to take them what I don’t appreciate is being called saying my 6 mos old female is throwing up while I was out of town. Then was told on the third day did she eat a blue cloth of some sort? I ask to so me a picture Darryl said he tossed it . My male is shaking his head a lot and my female I was told wasn’t eating so their home and was drinking so much water for about 20min back and forth my male is sleeping and my female is drinking like crazy and she is also eating I feel fleas biting he had my dogs and his drinking out of a small bowl . How sad. I will never return.
No worries when I drop my dog off, he loves what he does and it shows. My Goldendoodle Kingston loves coming here. Darryl takes great care of him whether it’s daycare or boarding ❤️
Highly recommended for Doggy Daycare & Boarding. We love Darryl <3 my doggie never wants to leave!!!
Lulu was just a puppy when i got her from the rescue center. After a year of working at home, i’d begun a new position and didn’t want to keep lulu home alone all day long. A friend referred me to Darryl. He has been Heaven sent! I was having some trouble getting lulu fully trained and on a schedule. Darryl helped so much with all of the things we needed. Lulu is happy! She gets excited when we arrive. The atmosphere is clean, calm and controlled. There are lots of “puppy friends” for her to engage with. Darryl remains professional yet personable and he definitely seems to have a great rapport with other owners. Pricing is very affordable and the environment is welcoming. Thanks so much!! We’re going to continue using this service.
He helped my 10 week old puppy with socialization with other dogs and potty training he loved it and he took good pictures
I wish there was a -1 rating!!! I have been a dog owner for roughly 13 years, and I've never experienced this level of incompetence EVER! I have boarded my dog in Atlanta, MD, DC, and VA over the past 12.7 years. This "business" was referred 2 me by a colleague, but after my initial visit, I wanted 2 back out but was locked in because of a family vacation during Xmas. Upon arrival, he was late, and the house (feels like his mother's house) reeked of weed. No judgment becuz it was legal, but he could have waited until I left. He said he was/is an Animal Care Techician, but I would argue that the certificate should be rescinded! I gave care instructions that were not followed. When my dog returned, he was sullen. I plan to file a complaint w/ the BBB in his county. Oh, and I forgot, he didn't return certain items and tried 2 charge me a fee 2 mail them to me. DO NOT TAKE UR PET TO HIM!!!
Britney loves going here. He is personable and knowledgeable. I feel my pet baby is safe in his care!
This is Luna's home away from home! She loves it there. Darryl takes special care of our furbaby!
My husband and I recently moved to the Navy Yard area with our 2 cats. We travel frequently, and finding someone new to care for them was a huge stress for us. We selected Saving Grace because of their reviews, and we have not been disappointed. We have used them on three separate occasions, and all three times, Paul Weiss was the caregiver. He leaves daily notes and will send photos if requested. Our most recent trip was two weeks long, and he watered our plants and freshened the litter box. We are so very happy with their service and highly recommend Saving Grace.
I've used Saving Grace Petcare for almost a year now to care for my cat while I'm out of town. They truly are a saving grace! I don't know what I would do without a neighborhood petsitting group like this one. Very easy to drop off my keys before leaving town and they take care of everything. Very attentive staff as well -- I always receive cute photos and updates on how my cat is doing. They really pay attention to the notes in my account on how to feed/care for my lil guy, and I never come home to a messy litter box. Thank you, Saving Grace Petcare!
We have had wonderful experiences with Saving Grace dogwalking and boarding services. Our dogwalker, Selena, is the best! She is very reliable and leaves us notes each day to let us know how the walk was. She was especially wonderful in working with us on special requests when our senior dog was quite ill. We now have a young dog and she is very patient as he learns his puppy manners! Saving Grace has also been a great service for pet-sitting, even over longer holiday trips! Our pets have always been very well-cared for with SG services! Highly recommend if you have pets in the Capitol Hill area!
I've used Saving Grace for cat sitting for at least the last three years. It's almost always the same woman who comes and visits, and my normally shy tuxedo has developed quite a fondness for her. Great service, can't recommend enough.
Tisha and her team are simply the best if you live in this neighborhood. I have worked with a few of the different petsitters in the past 18 months and have always been impressed--each one is a devoted animal lover, and treated my (loud, nosy, and often difficult) cat as their own. I cannot say enough good things about Saving Grace!
Really easy, web-based services that are perfect for helping busy people arrange pet care. I got daily updates with photos letting me know how my pet was doing while I traveled, and the pet sitter, Nancy, did an awesome job making the effort to connect with my pet and keep me in the loop. Highly recommended!
I am providing this rating because of Buster's dog walker - Aaron. He is the best! He takes extra time with Buster, he carries him down the block to ensure that he gets a walk rather than taking him out and bringing him right back in. We are fortunate to have Aaron as Buster's walker!
I've been using saving grace for two years now and have never had an issue. The staff are friendly and always leave a helpful note with a summary of the walk. I would recommend them to anyone.
DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR MONEY. The owner Grace is some gross right winger living in the 1950s. She didn't respect my pronouns and mocked instead, saying she "doesn't care".
Saving Grace is fantastic, consistent visits to ensure our kitty is well gives us peace of mind.
