Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $ per visit, $18/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I love Fetch. My cat sitter, Stephanie, takes great care of my cat. I can tell she plays with him because he starts searching for his toy when I get back from my trips. The app makes it so easy to schedule and pay for pet sitting. This service is reliable, and the people are so nice and trustworthy. I would recommend to anyone.
Would highly recommend Fetch! for pet care services. My wife and I have been using them exclusively for a couple of years now to care for our two beloved cats whenever we're out of town. Jamie, the owner and Amy, our sitter are very responsive and trustworthy. Amy is always on time and does a great job caring for our cats as well as any household related tasks like mail, bringing in trash or recycling cans, or watering plants. After every visit we get a journal update that details what was done and includes pictures, usually of her playing with our cats, who clearly know her and enjoy her visits. Also the Fetch scheduling tool is very easy to use and their pricing is very reasonable. Definitely gives us peace of mind that our pets are well cared for when we travel!
A few years ago I changed jobs, shifting from a 100% remote position to a 100% in person position. I was so happy when I found Fetch to take care of my pup when I returned to the office. The owner, Jamie, worked to match me with a regular walker from his team, set a schedule that worked for me, and arranged a meet & greet beforehand so acclimate my pup. This was especially important since my dog has some anxiety issues, so meeting before and getting comfortable was critical. It gives me such peace of mind to know my dog is well taken care of when I can't be there during the day to take her on a mid-day walk. And I get notified with a journal entry and photo after each visit. Post-pandemic, I am in the office less, but I still rely on Fetch for the days I do have to go into the office 1-2 days a week. I would truly be at a loss without Fetch, Jamie, and our fantastic walker, Donna! I highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy service for your pet care needs.
Fetch! is so worth it. Excellent service with giving wet food, having playtime, and sending us text and photo updates during each visit. We learned a new word from them: ZOOMIES. Had no idea that the frantic excitement our cat has running around the room was called that. The intro meeting was very informative and also good for our cat to see us all together beforehand. Jamie, Maggie, and the gang are the cat's meow. They're solid, reliable, and ready to save the day in the world of pet pampering.
What a fantastic experience we had with Fetch! We had been using a different service which was fine until this past July when we used them for a short trip we took out of town (three days). They did a horrible job and actually injured one of our cats. Fetch spent a lot of time getting to know us, our cats, and our expectations while we were gone. They matched us with a very experienced dog/cat sitter who came over before we left to also get an idea of our expectations. She was so, so, so very good! She provided us with very regular updates, gave our cats the space that they needed, spent 30 minutes each day with them and while our cats generally do not like strangers, both of them warmed up to her by the end of the trip and let her pet them! Our boy cat who was injured by the previous cat sitter really opened up, and he now not only roams the house again (he would not leave our bedroom prior to Fetch's sitter coming over after the trauma of this summer), but he gained weight while we were gone! Our very senior cats (15 years' old) are again acting like kittens and were very happy with Fetch's service. So we are also very happy. We came home to a clean house and happy cats. I cannot recommend Fetch more highly...an absolute pleasure to work with them. We have found our pet sitter for all future trips. THANK YOU!!! A+++++++!
I was thrilled to have found this service thanks to Jamie and his team's incredible customer service and communication. I really appreciated Jamie calling me and walking me through the process as someone new, and I felt very assured after speaking with him. Lisa was fantastic as a cat sitter, and my cat really immediately took to her. Lisa also did an awesome job informing me of Ray daily, which was a tremendous relief after we had a medical scare only a few weeks prior to us leaving for vacation. I cannot recommend this enough!
This company is amazing. Our sitter did a pre-visit so we could get to know her. She was so personable and really took her time to understand all the little things we do for our animals. While we were gone she visited 2 times a day for 30 minutes. Each visit we got video and pictures. On the very last day we got a "EMAIL" from our cat... it was super funny and sweet. Its these little extras that make the whole experience so amazing. Its also very affordable. Finally we have peace of mind when we leave for trips.
I've used Fetch ever since I moved to the area 6 years ago. Now that I am moving out of the area, I realized how very lucky I was to find this business. When I moved here, Fetch was recommended to me, and I didn't even look at other companies. I've had 3 walkers over the years, and all of them were great and reliable. I love that Jamie (the owner) takes a huge interest in his clients and the welfare of the animals. My dog doesn't deal well with strangers, but he liked Jamie immediately. Any time my walker was sick or away, Jamie took over my dog's walks personally. Everyone at Fetch (Jamie, the walkers, and the scheduling staff) is very responsive and very flexible. This was important to me as my schedule can be crazy. I wish I could take Fetch with me! I've contacted multiple dog-walking businesses in my new area, and only one of them had availability. I didn't realize how lucky and fortunate I was with Fetch; I trust them with my animals and my house. I would recommend Fetch to anyone without reservations, no matter what critter needs care.
Maggie, our Fetch petsitter has been so wonderful to work with. She always takes excellent care of our kitty and sends us lots of pictures (some are of the cat playing or letting us know where the cat was sunning herself, but also photos of her food bowl when we wanted to know how well she was eating and stuff like that). We always miss our kitty when we're away, but we never worry about her health or safety because we know Maggie is taking care of her.
Fetch hires dependable sitters who have a great rapport with my cats. I've trusted them for many years because they always come through for any request. Edited 4/7/24: Both of my cats became terminally ill in 2023. I was hesitant to travel because of their condition, but needed to a few times. Jamie and Lauren both went out of their way to give my cats extra care and attention while I was away.
I have been bringing my chocolate Lab mix for grooming for the past 5 years. My dog is nervous around strangers and tends to tremble & whine when we are not with him. However the groomer here has been caring, making sure to make him feel at ease. He comes back smelling good and all clean after his medicated shampoo bath, ear cleaning, teeth brushing & nail grinding. While there have been ups & downs in the past with staff, right now the front desk team is friendly & helpful. Big shout out to Samantha who is a groomer there.
Completely happy with Best Friends Pet Hotel. My Senior cat, who loves people, is definitely better off here than with someone coming by once a day at home. My other cat was fine with that, but not this guy. The staff are warm, friendly, professional and capable. When I come in they all remember me and my pet! If you are a cat owner and need to travel, I recommend Best Friends Pet Hotel.
This is our go to place for our mutts. And it’s only gotten better lately. Our one dog- who isn’t a fan of kennels- now actually is excited when we get to Best Friends. Let’s aren’t cheap and neither is boarding- but this has become our go to place because it’s close, it’s clean, and we are genuinely impressed w the people that work there.
My very nervous dog needed a paw trim and nail clipping. The woman was so so nice to him, asking her colleague to come and pet my dog as she cut and trimmed. She did a wonderful job! I love Best Friends for full grooming, too. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog in their care.
I have only used the grooming services here but Laurie is the best groomer! I know my pup is in good hands and always looks beautiful when I pick her up!
I have been bringing my cavapoo Finn for grooming to Anya at Best Friends for a couple of years. He always comes out looking great and just as I had asked for. They are as accommodating as possible when I call for appointments (she is very popular, so I have learned to call a few weeks ahead).
The staff here took fabulous care of my pigeon Peace all week! They also shared some great photos from his stay. It is challenging to find such a good bird sitter, particularly one that will let you bring your bird in his usual cage. Thanks for everything.
Anja is amazing with our mini schnauzer! After trying several groomers, we found Best Friends and Anja in Rockville. When the Rockville location closed we followed Best Friends and Anja to Gaithersburg even though it is further away. Well worth the drive!
First time I used Best Friends for Boarding I am very impressed. My dog is very loving, and sweet, however she doesn’t always get along with other dogs. The attendance paid special attention to her needs and showed her fun playtime and love. She was very happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I will definitely use Best Friends again. Thank you to everyone who works here, very friendly group.
I was very pleased with Best Friends. The staff was friendly and Anya, the groomer, did an excellent job. My dog, Bella, requires a bit of special care and everyone who handled her was very considerate of her needs. I will definitely be bringing her back for future groomings.
Used them for a week long trip to take care of my dog and cat. Both pets have no history of behavioral issues and generally do fine with sitters. That being said, I would trust them if my pets had more specialized needs based on the high quality of care they received. Services booked without issues and pricing was clear to understand. I appreciated that they sent reports with a detailed message and photos/videos of how things went for each visit. I also like that I can send messages to the sitter if needed. I would recommend them to others and already have them booked for a future trip.
a great experience! Jeanette came out to meet myself and our cats before we scheduled anything, she's so sweet! we got a (free!) lockbox, and after a tour/meet and greet/pointing out where supplies, etc are kept, we were able to schedule. everyone is so communicative and responds quickly, not to mention we requested services fairly last minute, and were accommodated - for this, we are so grateful! we got a report after each visit, and our girls were very well taken care of! we will definitely use The Right Fluff again when necessary, and I highly recommend them to anybody looking for pet sitting services.
Excellent experience...from the initial, introductory meeting with Jeanette through several days working with terrific pet sitters. My two Havanese pups were handled professionally and with great attention to detail. All of my requests were covered...and the sitters shared so many great pictures throughout the day. The pet sitters came to my home 3/day and sat with my pups for 2 hours giving them lots of attention while we were on vacation. If you are looking for a professional, dependable pet sitter... look no further. Highly recommend !!
Perfect! We felt our dog was safe, very well taken care of and happy. We'll definitely ask you again when we need help with Birdie.
We recently moved to Bethesda and are so lucky to have found The Right Fluff. We have already trusted them twice to take care of our 14 yr old asthmatic tabby while we travel. They came twice a day and sent us detailed descriptions of how she is feeling, eating, and taking her meds. We also get pictures(example attached)! Their online portal and scheduling tool is easy to use as well.
I really wanted to love this pet sitting company and I intended to use them every time we travel because of their glowing reviews… I was hoping our experience would be as amazing as other reviewers have described theirs… Unfortunately we came back from our trip to find our place in a horrific condition, there was pee all over our chase and couch, blankets and pillows, we had to throw it all away. The pee smell was sooo strong yet nobody from this company has noticed anything when I asked how could they let this happen… And for the reference we have 3 air purifiers, so you get the picture how bad it was… Cats were luckily okay and alive but all my plants have died since they have not be watered at all, and per my instructions they were supposed to take care of the plants too and water them regularly… I have reached out and expressed my grievances with the company and asked for a refund, they declined and suggested to replace all our dead plants, but that never happened and they took no responsibility for the issue with pee all over the house… So be aware, I would not recommend this company!!! Our experience was absolutely horrible, they are reckless and careless!!!
Excellent service. Within two days of my initial call, Chelsea had visited me and my cats and arranged for two days of pet-sitting. Friendly, professional service. Easy to arrange. Very accommodating. Will definitely use again and would recommend to anyone needing a reliable pet-sitting service.
I have never left my 4 cats before so I was very worried about how they would do with a stranger coming in to check on them and take care of feedings, litter, etc. One elderly cat requires medication twice per day, one hides when strangers come in the house, and the other two make feeding four cats extremely difficult as you cannot get the food into the dishes without them trying to get at the cans. They are also all the same breed making it hard for people to tell who is who. None of this was an issue for the Right Fluff. They took such great care of my precious cats and truly put my mind to ease that they were safe and loved while I was away. I received updates and photos after the visits letting me know how everyone did. I am so happy to have found this great service and am looking forward to taking more time away from home knowing my cats have a great sitter!
We love The Right Fluff! We moved back to the area & needed to find a dog walker about two months ago for our two rescue dogs (medium-large sized). We feel so lucky to have found this group! They not only follow all the instructions/requests we provided (for our sweet yet particular pups), but they also provide timely updates/photos, clear communication & are always flexible with scheduling changes. Highly recommend!
I cannot rate this team highly enough! My wife and I had never used a pet sitter before, but we were traveling out of the country for ~2.5 weeks and wanted a pet sitter (we have two cats) that we could rely on. Marcy and Erin were both incredible to work with, they were very responsive and obviously knowledgeable about what they do. We had a meeting for them to meet our pets and go through our home/how to take care of our cats, and then afterward we arranged for the actual specifics of our trip (key drop off, etc.). All communication is logged via an online web service that has an app, but is also easily accessible via email/web browser. Each day that Erin visited she took photos of our cats for us to see, and also gave us a detailed description of how they were doing. Erin's messages became one of our favorite ways to start the day while we were away :) Would 100% work with this sitter again!
Our 8-month-old puppy is delighted to go to Hounds Town in Gaithersburg both for day care and for boarding. Essentially a warehouse redone to entertain dogs, there is no outside running around that I am aware of yet lots of great options for indoor fun plus individual areas for quiet times. Our dog is notably more comfortable around other dogs since boarding at Hounds Town. The staff is informative, helpful & kind. Note that the dogs have energetic fun with each other, so if you want a clean sweet-smelling canine returned to you, add their bath option to your pup's time at Hounds Town.
They are a great location for boarding your dogs or for doggy daycare. The staff is polite and friendly and responsive. It is clean and does a good job of masking the Dog odor in the facility.
My Zeph is happy there. Looks forward to going to meet with his Houndstown US dog buddies (and the workers - he loves them too). He cannot to wait to hop in the car whenever I say “we’re going to see the doggies!” He’d drive over himself - if only he could. My Zeph is happy - I’m happy! You doggy might well be happy, too!
My baby girl loves it here. She gets so excited to greet the people as soon as we enter the office because everyone who works there genuinely loves animals and it shows! They can sense energy, and she can always sense she’s going to be so loved and taken care of during her visits. My Shepsky is a 1 year old pup so she has lots of energy to expend. I’m so happy this place is available so close to home and that it’s run in a way that I know my baby is in good hands. It melted my heart when I asked how my girl was doing during her orientation day and was informed she made 2 buddies already. With their names included! Made me feel really comfortable with my decision. As long as she’s happy, I’m happy. Just know that your dog will likely return smelling like urine and strong dog odor bc of all the playing and whatnot, but they offer grooming if that’s an issue!
My dog always comes home tired and happy from Houndstown - I love it for the overnight option when I’m out of town. It feels SO much better to leave my mutt where he’ll get to socialize with other dogs during the day instead of spending most of his time in a cage such as at a standard boarding place. The people who work here are friendly as well & customer service is top notch - I’d definitely recommend this to fellow dog parents! 👌🏻 The pic is from a cute Valentine’s Day Pawty they had a couple of years ago!
I just realized it will almost be an entire year that my pup Sophie has attended houndstown. I love that everyone that works in the Daycare is always happy to see the pups coming in( I mean who can have a bad when you get to hangout with pups all day). Sophie gets all excited about three blocks away in the car when she realizes where we are going. I love the fact that they will come pick Sophie up in a pinch when she gets stuck with me at work. I absolutely trust Rich and his team when Sophie is in their care. She comes home happy, sleepy, and possible a few ounces lighter. The benefits of houndstown- great location, easy parking, great staff, great safety training, cleanliness. The only con I can think of- is Rich might need another location soon. Once everyone finds this hidden jim Houndstown might out grow their facility.
This is not the first time we leave our shy Shiba Inu at Hounds Town in Gaithersburg. Each time we've left her somehow we need to make adjustments to our schedule and Hounds Town staff has been very accommodating. When we drop off our little pup she walks right with them. A big plus is that we get to see pictures of her while we're gone. The price for boarding is affordable. We feel she's well cared for and will continue to bring her to Hounds Town.
Love, love, LOVE this place! I used to take my dog when they very first opened but haven't been back in a while. My dog, Stella, was absolutely over the moon to be back a few days ago. The staff is fast and friendly and not only does Stella enjoy her play time there...but her mama (me), feels good knowing she is in good hands and is having the time of her life. I'm so happy to have Houndstown nearby, you have Stella and me for life! 💜
Rich is very knowledgeable and focused on the dogs. The facility is very clean and welcoming! I think our dogs will be happy there.
My pups love Hounds Town! They definitely care and are great with the pups!
I cannot say enough good things about playful pack! The front desk is so friendly and welcoming, the facility is always clean, and they are very very vigilant of playtime. My dogs are regulars and they always give me updates of how their day went and I get cute pictures everyday. I love playful pack and have recommended them to every person I know that owns a dog!!
So glad to have found Playful Pack in Rockville! After a not so great experience at another doggie daycare, I was hesitant to bring our dog here. But she is such a social gal and really needs some playtime during the week with other furry friends. And I’m so happy to say that our experience with Playful Pack so far has been amazing. From the different fun themes and activities to the report card with pictures after every visit, they go the extra mile. Thank you, Playful Pack! So glad we found you guys!
We are new to the area and searched for a new dog boarding facility similar to the one we used before where dogs would be out of a pen/crate most of the day. We also wanted somewhere with outside space so our dog didn’t get accustomed to using the bathroom inside. We have now brought our giant doodle multiple times for the day and a few overnight boarding stays. He loves Playful Pack. He gets so excited when we park in the parking lot and is always ready to go back and is so tired when we pick him up. He always looks so happy in the pictures sent each day. The staff have been so friendly. They remember him and welcome him so kindly each time we arrive. We have not had issues with booking which we have done online and over the phone. They have always answered when we have called if we were running late (still before closing) or had a question. Their hours are also great for working and commute time. Thankful we found Playful Pack.
The best daycare my dog has ever been to. The staff are great, and he loves coming here to play. They make boarding super easy too at a fair price. Would recommend to anyone. Can’t say enough good things about this place.
Me and my dog love this place! There isn’t another daycare facility that he gets more excited about than Playful Pack. They do activities every day of the week and getting pictures from the report card after each day is definitely a plus!
I recently had the pleasure of boarding my beloved pets, a 60-pound Golden Doodle and a 5-pound Yorkie, at Playful Pack Dog Daycare and Boarding, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this establishment truly cares about the well-being and happiness of the animals in their care. First and foremost, the safety and security measures in place at Playful Pack were impressive. The facility is well-maintained, clean, and equipped with spacious and comfortable accommodations. I felt at ease knowing my pets would have a safe and enjoyable stay. The fact that they cater to dogs of all sizes, including my diverse duo of a large Golden Doodle and a tiny Yorkie, speaks volumes about their commitment to providing for every dog's unique needs. The highlight of Playful Pack was the amazing outdoor space for the dogs to play. The expansive play area was securely fenced, allowing the dogs to run, explore, and enjoy the fresh air to their heart's content. The design of the outdoor space was both stimulating and safe, with plenty of toys, obstacles, and shaded areas for the dogs to relax. It was a joy to see my pets, especially my energetic Golden Doodle, romping around and having a fantastic time in this well-maintained and thoughtfully designed environment. Throughout the five nights my pets stayed at Playful Pack, I received regular updates and photos, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time away. It was clear from the pictures that my dogs were having an absolute blast. The facility offers a wide range of engaging activities and ample playtime, ensuring the dogs never experience a dull moment. The dedicated play areas, both indoors and outdoors, are designed to stimulate physical exercise and socialization, which is crucial for a dog's well-being. Playful Pack Dog Daycare and Boarding has unquestionably won me over as a customer for life. The exceptional care, attention to detail, and their amazing outdoor space for dogs to play make it stand out from the competition. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to any pet owner seeking a reliable, safe, and fun environment for their furry family members. I can't thank the team enough for their excellent service, and I am confident that anyone who chooses Playful Pack will share the same sentiment.
Because I was actively seeking another option for doggy care for my fur-baby, Open house visit 9/16/23 was a great place to start. Staff was approachable, pleasant and knowledgeable. I especially love the fact there is an outside play area.
They are amazing! We take both our pups here for both daycare and boarding and they love it. The staff is wonderful and both our dogs love them! Pricing is comparable to other places in the area, but you're getting a team of people you can trust who will love and care for your best friends.
There are not enough words to describe how much I love Playful Pack! As a pet parent, it can be difficult to find a daycare for a fur baby -- especially one you trust! The staff here are so wonderful and you can see how much they care for the pups! They are so flexible about drop-off and pick-up! I also love how they have cameras! Like another posted, I do wish they had cameras outside as well! But I'm grateful that I get to check in throughout the day to see what my pup is up to! AND they send photos they took of your pup at the end of the day! Their boarding is also great! Recently, I had a family emergency and I called to see whether they had any availability for a few days to care for my pup. Maddy was so kind and understanding -- and quickly told me that they had availability! Maddy called to keep me in the loop, and didn't even mind when I called to check in on my pup! It was such a relief to know that K was in good hands while I was managing other things! CiCi gave me the best report when I went to pick up K! Even as we were leaving, Maddy and CiCi came to say by to K and I and gave him all the hugs and kisses! To all of the staff, thank you so much for going above and beyond! I am so grateful! Overall, the staff is so great and I couldn't recommend Playful Pack enough!
Our dog, Stella, loves it here. Drop off and pick up is easy. Cameras are a nice way to check in to see how she's doing. I like the report card and pictures sent to us at the end of the day. The various activities every day are a plus. Highly recommended!
100/10 I cannot recommend On Call enough! I was always hesitant to leave my cat because he’s geriatric and requires medicine twice a day, but one meeting with Steven and Marly and we were good to go! They’re incredibly attentive, send me lots of updates (because I’m an anxious pet parent), and truly care for my cat while giving him everything he needs. I always recommend them to anyone in need of pet sitting services and will always reach out to them for as long as I live in Montgomery County!
We recently had Steven stay overnight to take care of our dog and cat, and we couldn't have been more pleased with his service. Steven was polite, professional, and, most importantly, great with our pets. He has long term experience and is a trusted resource for any pet sitting or dog walking needs. Steven stopped by for a meet and greet ahead of the overnight. Steven's friendly and courteous demeanor made us feel comfortable entrusting him with the care of our pets. He approached the job with a genuine love for animals, and he was flexible to make sure that the needs of our schedule and our pets specific personalities were met. Throughout his stay, Steven exhibited a high level of responsibility and attentiveness. We appreciated the regular updates and photos, which added an extra layer of reassurance. In addition to his excellent pet care, Steven was respectful of our home. He treated our space with the same consideration as he did our pets. Overall, we highly recommend Steven as a reliable and caring pet sitter. If you're looking for someone who will take good care of your animals and home, Steven is the right choice. We'll certainly be reaching out to him for future pet-sitting needs. Thanks, Steven!
I highly recommend On Call Petsitting! Every time we’ve used them for cat sitting it has been a great experience. Antonio and Steven are very communicative and clear and Antonio always sends pictures and updates when he stops by to check on our cat. We appreciate their professionalism and responsibility when caring for our pet!
This is an outstanding Petsitting Company. I contacted them after an injury and they were able to respond and walk my dog that day. The dog walkers always arrived promptly or even early and communicated when they were on their way here. They were never late. And my dog Sasha just loved them. I could not be more impressed with this company. I don't know what I would have done without their help.
My experience with this business comes as both a petsitter, and a pet owner. Steven is highly and appropriately communicative with both his clients and his providers, making sure that everyone is on the same page and comfortable as possible. He prioritizes client needs and supports his workers with integrity and skill. Whether your furry family member has special accommodations needed, or not, every pet is met with love and individual care. I haven’t been able to take clients with MoCo since I moved out of the area, but would encourage sitters to work with them. I would highly recommend this business for your pet and house sitting needs, as well.
Randee and Steven have been nothing short of amazing! They have been so patient with my reactive pup-- constantly updating me on her progress and providing photos during her walk. We had tried several other walkers before finding On Call and this is above and beyond the best experience! 10/10 would recommend :)
Steven, is super reliable and goes above and beyond to help out even on last minute situations. Him and his team members are amazing. My dog loves them so much and I feel at ease knowing they are caring for him while I’m away. I highly recommend them!
My previous dog walking service left me with no service at a last minute notice, Not realizing I needed a backup my sister found On call pet sitting. They quickly did a meet and greet with my puppy dog and I had service the same week. There is great communication between the dog Walker and myself and a group text. Payment is easy. I do not have to worry about a last minute no dog Walker as I have a backup already in place. I use them on a regularly basis. Give them a call your Fur baby will be happy.
Desperate for pet care with less than a week before an extended family vacation, I contacted Stephen. He responded promptly and we were able to set up a meet-and-greet quickly. We had never used a pet sitting service before and were anxious about having a stranger taking care of our fur babies, but Stephen and Carla put us at ease right away. Carla's regular updates were super comforting and she included fantastic pics! My only concern is that now I think the pets like Carla more than us...😉
I used the in-home pet sitting service for my cat, scheduled through Steven with Antonio as my pet sitter. They both met me prior to the scheduled dates for a meet and greet, and during the scheduled pet sitting days, Antonio texted updates and photos for each visit. Very convenient service at a fair and competitive price, with reliable communication - definitely recommended.
Our pup suffers from high anxiety and takes a while to warm up to new people. Caroline has been absolutely wonderful and patient to meet and walk our dog. She is timely to respond and always on time for our weekly walks. Amazing dog walker and sitter!
We have been using Caroline/Spoiled Pawz for dog sitting and cat care for the last few years and she's wonderful! We have an anxious dog, but he is always happy to go into her home and never hesitates. She has a big yard and dogs are able to go in and out as they please. I feel like she offers genuine care and kindness towards our animals and they are always happy to see her. We are grateful to have this option available for when we travel and highly recommend it!
Caroline has been great with my two pups. They get excited when she comes to walk them. She is flexible with my changing schedule. She’s also been available to cat sit if I am away for an extended period. I trust her with my fur babies and home. I also appreciate the run down of what transpired during the day.
Spoiled Pawz is an amazing dog walking service that I have used for almost two years now. Caroline is professional and friendly with me, good and patient with my dogs. I never worry knowing she’ll be coming by to take care of my furry babies while I’m gone.
Caroline cares for my pup as if she were her own! She does an awesome job communicating with me after each walk - which I appreciate because it gives me peace of mind. And as my schedule changes occasionally I truly am grateful for Caroline's flexibility. She's a gem!
I have used Caroline for boarding and mid-day walks for the past 6+ months and I have very been pleased. I could trust Caroline to reliably check on my dog in the middle of the day while at work and on business trips. My dog absolutely loved her. I love coming home and reading her notes how London did that day.
Caroline walked all my dogs for about 8 years and if I still had dogs she would walk them today. She is extremely professional and cares very much about the animals she is responsible for. I have no reservations in recommending her highly.
Caroline is amazing, I have a hyper, dog/cat aggressive 105 pound Doberman that she accepted without hesitation. My walks are easier because of the leash training that Scotty has received from her. I had surgery in December '21 and she walked him for 6 weeks straight, 3 x per day, early in the morning, noon and late at night while I recovered. Her dedication is tremendous, she is very trustworthy and I highly recommend her services!
Caroline has been walking/boarding our dog for years now. Couldn't be happier or rate the experience higher. It's great having someone you can trust to be there when you need them. Over the years, Caroline has shown herself to be caring, responsible, and competent when it comes to taking care of our dog. I feel very lucky that we found her.
We used Caroline's services for 4+years. She is very responsible, takes amazing care of our dog and cat . Our animals love their time with her. She has taken daily walks with our dogs, our pets have boarded with her and she's even checked in on our house while we were away. I highly recommend Caroline and Spoiled Paws.
Marc was instrumental in taking care of my pet while I was away for the week. He is compassionate, caring, respectful, and thorough! You could not ask for a better caretaker. Knowing that my pet was in great hands, I was able to truly enjoy my time away from home, with no worries. Thank you!!
This is unusual review! I owned a sitting and walking company for 10 years before moving on to cat behavior. Marc and I share an elderly client (for different services) who often needs us to go above and beyond. He often comes to help at the last minute and in inclement weather. Last night she needed help logging in to a zoom memorial service. Marc dropped what he was doing and calmly helped her. This is a small business owner who truly cares for his clients, people and animals.
Marc is the best! He does a great job with our anxious/reactive dog. Can’t thank him enough for watching our sweet girl when we’re away!
My buddy, Bentley attends Doggie Daycare a few times a week. He is interactive with other dogs when I watch him on the video, and comes home tired. The owners and staff are wonderful and very flexible.
Excellent doggie daycare!! Staff is great, and my Cavapoo is always excited to visit this place. They have webcams so you can check on your doggo throughout the day. Highly recommend this place!
We and our dog love A Doggie Day. She is always so excited to go and see her friends, and comes home everyday tired out from playing with them all day. The staff are friendly, attentive, and conscious of her (and the other dogs') safety and well-being. We completely trust them to love and care for her during the days she's with them. Also love the live webcam!
I had been looking around for daycares for my pointer puppy and saw A doggie day was nearby so I went for a meet & greet to make sure it was best for us and them as well and I love it! The facility is clean, employees are super attentive and kind, and my puppy loves going. I watch her on the webcam all day and most importantly, atleast for me, they ensure the health of every dog before coming in! I love this place so much.
Our dog loves going here. He gets super excited when we reach the parking lot and runs to get inside. There are two rooms based on size/energy of dog and a person monitoring each room while the dogs are playing.
Awesome doggie daycare. Staff is great, and my border collie has a great time here. They have webcams so you can check on your pups throughout the day. Highly recommend.
Our little frenchie can’t wait to go every day! As soon as we enter the parking lot, she knows she’s up for a fun day with her friends!
We (and our dog) love A Doggie Day! Bowser can’t run inside fast enough when we get there, and always comes home tired and happy!
My puppy loves going each day! When I need a break during the day, I love watching the webcams. Even better, my puppy is calm(ish) in the evenings after having played all day.
Very in tune with my dogs needs for acclamating to new environments! The steps they go through in the meet and greet process gave me confidence to leave my shy guy with them. Good communication and options.
Tabi's Pet Care is the best! I recently used them for my two cats when I had to go away on a three-day business trip. I was impressed with them from the beginning. Both Tabitha (the company's owner) and Carissa (the pet sitter) did a meet and greet before my trip and we went over food, litter boxes and other things. While I was away, they were very responsive, showed up on time and took photos of my babies. They left messages for me after every visit as well to give an update. This was the first time my cats had ever had a pet sitter and I admit I was a little nervous. No need! They took such good care of my cats which really put my mind at ease. I am going to use them again over the holidays. A great experience all around. Very highly and enthusiastically recommended!
Have been using Tabi’s Pet Care for dog walks which have been great. With our schedule at home we usually have to schedule last minute and Tabi and company are always responsive and able to help. We recently just got back from being half way across the globe for two weeks. Like any dog parent we had some anxiety about leaving our pupper behind. However that was all put to rest even before we landed at our destination. Brian stayed at our house for the two weeks. He gave us daily updates in writing and pictures. The few times we reached out over text he was quick to respond. When we got home the house was as clean as we left it. The bed was even stripped. After being up for 38 hours it was the icing on the cake to come home to a well taken care of dog and a clean house. Will absolutely be using Tabi and group for all my dog walk/sitting needs going forward.
We had a family emergency where we needed to be gone for a few days, and Tabi was able to take care of our Frenchie very last minute. She took Enrique out for his walks and gave him his meds in the morning and updated us about every little thing. She even sent pics!! She took away so much stress from an already stressful situation. We are so grateful for her! Our dog loved her and you can tell she has such a big heart for animals! I’m only using her services from now on. So glad we found her! Truly one of a kind!!
all of our dogs get so excited when Tabi shows up. they love going on walks with her, especially the 2 new additions to the pack. they also love when she dog sits for us. she’s very reliable and i trust her with our fur babies.
Tabi and Jen took amazing care of our four cats over an extended weekend -- so much so that they barely seemed to miss us! Highly recommend!
Tabi did an excellent job grooming my soft coated wheaten terrier! The service was affordable compared to other groomers in the area but did not lack in quality at all! I loved hearing about how she gave my anxious pup frequent breaks and walks during the grooming and never had her in a crate. You can tell that she truly cares for the animals under her watch.
This was our first time using Tabi's pet care and it won't be the last! We first met Tabi and the person who would be caring for our cat, Carissa. I liked that both Tabi and Carissa came along to meet Oliver (our cat), ask questions and really seemed to 'get' Oliver. Carissa was WONDERFUL - every day of our absence we would get a report, with photos, sometimes a video and a whole run down of her visit. Carissa was funny, caring and my husband and I looked forward to getting our 'Oliver Report' every day while we were gone. Highly recommend!
The sitters took excellent care of my dog and were incredibly flexible and accommodating. Excellent and regular communication to let me know how she was doing.
Tabi's pet care has been cat sitting for us for a while and I wouldn't trust our pets with anyone else. All of the staff and Tabi herself are responsive, responsible and go the extra mile! Asael particularly goes the extra mile to clean up and make sure the cats are happy. Highly recommend!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Tabi's Petcare! She did an amazing job washing and grooming my three dogs, Dexter, Charlie, and Rudy. Not only did they make my pups look and smell fantastic, but she also handled them with such care and patience. Tabi's attention to detail and love for animals really shines through in her work. I highly recommend Tabi's Petcare to anyone looking for top-notch grooming services for their furry friends.
Highly recommend!! we just moved to the area and always stress about finding the right sitter, but Lisa is it!! She took excellent care of our cats, provided wonderful daily updates with photos, and provided excellent communication!! Very organized and trustworthy! We will be going to her regularly.
Lisa is fantastic!! I have 2 cats, both of whom have illnesses that require daily medications. It's so comforting to know I'm leaving them in such good hands with Lisa whenever I need to go out of town - I trust her completely!
5 star service…. I was looking for a last minute puppy sitter for our 4 month old frenchie, and puppy sitters saved the day well i should say saved the night. Lisa was quick to respond and was ready to help in anyway she could. Once I returned to pick our pup up , our pup didn’t want to go home! From that I could tell she was well taken care of and in good hands! Bailey (our pup) can’t wait to visit Potomac Pet Sitters again!
I can’t recommend Lisa and her team enough. After lots of research of pet sitters in the area, I contacted Lisa to see if she could come by and meet my very shy cat. I immediately knew I wanted to work with her when I saw my normally skittish cat warm up to her so instantly. Lisa really has a way with animals, and I’m so grateful to have found someone who gives us peace of mind when we travel. If you’re looking for a warm professional who takes great care of your fur babies when you’re away, work with Lisa!!
As a fellow pet sitter I can’t say enough of great things about Lisa! She has gone above and beyond the call of duty. I even hired her take my fur babies and I’ll be honest I was worried about leaving them not because of Lisa but because I never left them with someone before. lol. Lisa calm my nerves and made sure my fur babies got same love as I would if I was home. If your in Rockville or Potomac area Lisa is you’re go to she will NOT disappoint!
Lisa is wonderful! Our pets are well cared for and we do not have to worry about anything when away.
The staff took excellent care of our golden doodle. She was so loving towards him, spent time with him outside, and made sure he had water and food before she left. She sent us pictures of him while she was with him. It was so comforting knowing that he was in such good care with someone that adores dogs and cats and talks to them and plays with them. If you’re looking for a caregiver that will go above and beyond caring for your pet, call the Potomac Pet Sitters. I’ve tried the rest, and have found the best!!!!
Lisa is a wonderful Pet Sitter. I would 100% recommend her for any pet services you may need she is loving and nurturing to all animals in her care!
I had an amazing experience with this group. They are organized, friendly, and charge a very reasonable rate. I would use them again and recommend anyone!
