Cat Sitters in Wakefield, VA

please stay away from this place if you care about your dog. We left our dog for overnight boarding couple of weeks ago here. apparently another dog attacked our dog. The manager called me after the incident and told me when the dogs were playing “a dog’s teeth got caught up” on our dog. We were told they then took him to a veterinary hospital nearby. The whole day I’m thinking it’s a small bike mark of some sort. When I went to the veterinary clinic to pick him up, I was shocked to see half of our dogs leg was ripped apart. I am extremely upset about how they tried to downplay this incident and shared no other information regarding if they had staff watching the dogs, and why no one was able to pull them apart to prevent such a big injury, how it happen, etc. after multiple emails and phone calls. They did pay for the operation, naturally but the whole thing probably could have been prevented. I will never know the facts.!

Jenn and the entire staff at APC are wonderful! Jenn tailors training sessions for our two Schnoodles, and she follows up with a detailed summary, excellent advice and tips. We're already noticing a difference in our two, and we're so grateful to Jenn. Watson and Dottie are happy to go to daycare, which I never expected!

Had to re schedule my grooming appointment once and that was totally fine and understandable, apparently there’s been some nationwide Canine bronchitis that is going on across the United State and APC sent me the urgent message so us customers can be aware! But Stacey gave my puppy a cute haircut look before Christmas and she did an excellent job! Shout out to all of the APC staff for keeping our puppies healthy and Safe! Stanley and I love you guys!🥰🐶P.S. It is not there fault for getting other dogs sick

I go here mainly to have my dogs' nails cut, as I can't do them at home. Stephanie has the magic touch -- she's always been able to trim their nails, even the super-squirmy pups!

We took our dog to the groomer, but they have other services as well. Cut and wash were ok. Scheduling process is very poor. After waiting a month for the appointment, two days before we get a call and the appointment is cancelled and rescheduled for almost a month later. Three days before that appointment, another call to cancel and reschedule again. No effort to apologize or somehow make up for the inconvenience. Employees are ok and seem to like dogs but not exactly friendly toward humans.

Soooo…let’s start from the beginning. 1.Boarded our pup for a few days due to being out of town. When asking about a transport multiple times because our flight wasn’t going to get in until right before pick up hours, they not one single time, reached out to us about whether or not our pup was going to a transport (we asked multiple times) They kept insisting that she stays for one more night. (1st red flag…) 2. When leaving our pup for day care so they could get acclimated, we asked for a report card. We went to see how our girl is doing and if she is making friends. There are no cameras at affectionate pet care like there are at dogtopia. However, there is a SUPER cute window through the gate. She did three days of daycare and not once received a report card on how she was doing. (2nd red flag) 3. When our pup did get back from boarding, she received a report card. TWO days were documented where she did NOT eat. She gets dinner and she did not eat for TWO nights. No phone call, no email, no text message. How can you let a dog go two days without eating food??? (3rd flag.) 4. Our dog ended up with Kennel cough. They have been sick and coughing (sounds like a horn) for the past few days. They are lethargic and we have been having to feed her chicken and rice. (4th red flag.) We Took our pup to the vet once to her primary vet and then to an emergency vet at the discretion of our primary vet, she was the ADMITTED to the hospital for pneumonia in her right lung. I have talked to the owner, Amy, who said she would NOT be informing pet parents that dogs have contracted kennel cough at her facility. She kept wanting the information out our vet and the hospital she was at to try to meddle in the middle. She has done ENOUGH damage to our poor girl. I HIGHLY suggest you read the reviews that have left dogs injured and sick along with the reviews of previous employees. Not only are the dogs getting sick and injured, employees have also expressed discontent with the “facility procedures.” All in all, our experience with Affectionate Pet Care was NOT good. Lack of communication, understanding, and openness was disappointing. If you truly care about the help and well being of your dog, please do NOT go here.

We love affectionate pet care. They take great care of our dog when boarding. The staff is excellent and truly care for the pets.

My dog Lilly has been going to Affectionate Pet Care since she was 4 months. She loves it there. We do daycare several times a week and have done boarding and grooming. I have been satisfied with each. When your dog can't wait to run in the door, you know they must be doing something right! Only complaint--I wish I could see the dogs playing. Either photos (when boarding), viewing area or live video feed. You can get reports on your dogs day that tell you who they played with, but you don't know the type of dog.

I was told right from the start that "A tired dog is a good dog". All puppy owners should keep that in mind. My puppy Pippa has loved everyday she has spent at APC, from her first day (she was asleep within 2 minutes of getting in the car) to her last. She is the most well adjusted, socialized goofball puppy because of your establishment. For me personally, I can't say enough about the staff. They love their job and it shows in their efficiency and the way they love and care for our puppies. When your dog is excited every time you pull on Pickett St and can't wait to get in the building, you know that they are being well cared for while you are at work or on vacation. I'm by no means a "helicopter (dog) mom" even more so when Pippa has been in the care of APC - I always knew she was in good hands. So thank you all for helping raise the well-rounded goofy puppy Pippa Petals Pittman. We both give y'all 10 stars (or biscuits) out of 5!

Our dogs love going to APC. They enjoy daycare, boarding, and grooming all in one location. They are so happy to see all the staff and their furry friends! They come home tired… in a good way. The staff is caring, professional, always helpful with any concerns. Cullen, Charlotte, and the front desk staff are amazing. We are very grateful to have found such an amazing place for our furries.

Teddy loves going to the “hotel”! We have used Montrose for over two years and they have been so incredible. The one on one attention they give to each fur baby rather than group play was really what made boarding him here so stress free. The staff are all so lovely and we look forward to the report cards after every visit. We continue to use Montrose even after moving closer to DC since the experience has been nothing but amazing!

Montrose was recommended to us by a family member a year ago and we've been taking our pup there ever since! Their staff is incredibly friendly and very quick to respond if you ever need anything. They even send you email updates with photos of your pup :) Our dog gets so excited to go! Highly recommend Montrose.

This was our first time using Montrose Pet Hotel and our dog seemed to do really well. We will definitely plan to use it again! Very grateful to have a place so close to home.

I’ve been taking our cats here for 10 years love this place

We have boarded our dog at montrose pet hotel a few times now. My dog can be finicky and slow to warm up to new people and environments but he runs tail wagging towards the door the second we drop him off which is the only proof I need. The staff all goes above and beyond. They are so professional, friendly and I can tell they genuinely care about the animals that stay with them. My dog always comes back smelling clean and with a fun little report card summarizing his stay which is a nice touch. I am confident when I leave my dog at MPH he is in good hands.

Our reactive dog stayed for a trial two days (one night) and they apparently made him feel completely comfortable! He even ate, and got along with everyone! Thanks for giving our little monster a lovely time!

Our pets stayed there for an entire week and seemed to have a blast. Any time we called to check on our pups the staff was so respectful and receptive. It was clear that they cared and spent time with our dogs!

Absolutely the best place to take care of my dog and the only place I trust completely. I have used their help on four different occasions over the last two years, my dog is always happy. Everyone I have met there is kind, friendly and patient, the place is always very clean. Communication has also been great: they never failed to send an email with a picture and reassure me that my dog was doing well. I very much appreciate the concern they showed when he got sick one day. We now use the vet in the same building - his experience has been priceless. Many thanks to all!!!

Very helpful with making reservations, they returned my call. Our dogs were well taken care of. We got a sort of report card when picking them up that had a pic of them playing & a few notes on how they did, really liked that extra customer service effort. Friendly drop off and pick up staff. I will definitely use them again in the future.

LOVE Montrose Pet Hotel! We boarded our greyhounds (read: high maintenance!) here in a double cabin. The care takers are so good with each animal - ours are big babies and they were handled with love and care into the kennel area. We received a printout detailing how their stay went along with a picture of each dog during play time. Play time is separate for each dog unless they are "siblings." Knowing that our favorite vet is now overseeing the Pet Hotel gives us peace of mind knowing our fur babies are getting the best care. Thank you Dr T!

I received such high quality care for my fur baby, Cleo, while my family went to the beach for a week to de-stress. Elise was amazing and far exceeded my expectations! She was so caring and attentive and easy to communicate with. Not only did she take care of the basics - food, water, and litter box scooping, she wore a mask each time she entered my home, brushed Cleo daily, spent 30 minutes playing and cuddling with her each day, and sent me daily text, photo and video updates. I plan to use PBJ Pet Care each and every time I go out of town and will have complete peace of mind that my kitty is in kind and capable hands. Shout out to Elise - thank you!

We started using PBJ Pet Care Service this past year when our vet stopped boarding services during COVID, and we will never go back to boarding again now. Having our two dogs and one cat staying in the comfort of their own home while we are away feels so much better than leaving them at a kennel, and we know they are in the best hands with PBJ. We haver requested their services numerous times this past year and they have always been able to accommodate us whether for a weekend or a full week away. They text us photos of their visits and leave a detailed outline of what happened during each one of their visits for you to read upon your return. Plus, all of this love and care they provide in your home for your pets ends up being a better value than boarding all of our animals, and it feels great to know that you're helping to support their cause of rescuing other cats and dogs.

Aly was awesome!! She trimmed Molly and Maisey's nails for me. Aly showed no fear and conquered the challenge. She was prompt, courteous, and professional. Aly wore her mask the entire time and distanced herself because of the covid-times we are experiencing. I would not hesitate to call PBJ Pet Care Service again in the future!!

I have one cat, last year Alison took great care of Katy. This year Helen also did an outstanding job. PBJ Pet Care can be trusted.

Helen was amazing! Took excellent care of the kitties and even sent pictures! We would recommend your service and most especially Helen to anyone! Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Sampson Smiles for pet sitting! We have worked with Diana for many years to care for our two cats. She has a true talent for reading animals and meeting their needs. Our cats probably prefer her over us! Diana is responsive, reliable, and trustworthy. We are so fortunate to have her as our pet sitter because she gives us peace of mind when we are out of town and we know our cats and house are in safe hands with her.

We have been so blown away by the incredible service and professionalism shown by Diana! We have 150% confidence in her and feel so comfortable knowing that our pets are well cared for while we are gone. She even sent pictures and notes while we were gone to let us know all was ok. We would absolutely recommend her services. Thank you so much Diana!

Diana is amazing! She takes care of our furry family members (regular walks for our large breed pup and occasional house sitting for said pup and her kitty friend) as if they were her own. You can see that Diana genuinely cares for animals and is always willing to go the extra mile to provide service. I can not recommend Sampson Smiles enough!

Diana provided pet sitting services for our cats while we were away on vacation. She did a great job, sending us regular updates that gave us peace of mind about the well-being of our pets. We felt very confident entrusting their care to Diana, and we would highly recommend the service!

We had a great experience with Diana! My dog was very well taken care of during her first overnight without her family. Loved getting the updates on how she was doing as she has some anxiety which always makes us nervous to leave her. I would highly recommend Sampson Smiles Pet Care and will be using Diana again!

Sampson Smiles gives me total peace of mind my dogs are being cared for exactly as I want. Diana is as dependable as the sunrise and always puts the dogs first. She has cared for my Dobermans in sickness and in health, for daily letouts during the workweek and longer vacation times. She has cared for the tough to handle personalities, the I want my Mom personalities, and everyone in between. Diana is the real deal - total peace of mind....priceless.

Diana was great. Our cat is scared and skittish around strangers, and Diana has plenty of ways to play and engage with those types of pets. Diana is incredibly reliable and the notes she provided for each visit offered additional reassurance that our cat was well taken care of while we were away.

We couldn't be happier with Sampson Smiles Pet Care. Diana and her team do a tremendous job communicating with clients and taking care of our furry family members. I wouldn't hesitate to leave our senior pup in Diana's care.

My husband and I recommend Sampson Smiles Pet Care to those we love most. The service is always outstanding and reliable. We feel very fortunate to have someone to watch our home and our pets while we're away. We trust Diana Dowd with everything and she always delivers excellence. It is SO hard to find this type of dedication.

Diana is fantastic. She took the time to get to know my anxious and shy dog and make her feel very comfortable with meeting a new person. I would recommend Sampson Smiles to all my friends and family.

Waggy Walkys so far has been great with my pups! The office staff are friendly! I love being assisted by Jap, Sam and Daniel. They are heaven sent and very reliable. While there are some walkers that are a bit difficult, the company as a whole has always delivered and never disappoints whenever I entrust them my pups. Looking forward to another year with them.

Waggy Walkys are amazing handlers for my doggos. They have been so accommodating and friendly to my lovely furry family. There might be times where I had the occasional walker that’s hard to deal with but the rest of the company is great. Most especially the work of Jap, Sam and Daniel they have been so amazing. You can’t find a better walker service than Waggy Walkys and I’m happy to be with them for another year.

As a pet owner with a busy lifestyle, I needed a reliable pet care service, and Waggy Walkys stepped up to the plate. The office staff are always friendly and attentive, they always accomodate my requests. I couldn't be happier with Waggy Walkys and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable pet care!

After an injury I was unable to walk my two dogs in the evening. We turned to Waggy Walkys after a reference from a friend. For the past 3 months we have had daily walks in the evening. Our walker, Alicia, was always on-time (or if delayed kept us informed), gained complete trust with us and our dogs. As opposed to a lot of other dog walkers we see around our neighborhood who are constantly on their phones and barely take the dogs for a longer walk, Alicia made sure our guys had all of the time they needed to stretch their legs and do their business. Often times she went over the allotted time to give them a little extra play time. Any time we had to make a change the WW office workers were responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend Waggy Walkys as a professional, trustworthy organization to care for your most precious four legged family members.

We love Waggy Walkys. Our dog walker is great and is always on time and always walks the dogs for the full amount of time, which is something we have had issues with when using other agencies/walkers. Waggy Walkys is also very responsive and professional. If we need to cancel/reschedule a walk it is a very easy process and we always hear back within a few hours. They also are great about setting up replacement walkers when our regular dog walker can't make it. Overall we have had nothing but positive experiences with Waggy Walkys and would recommend them to anyone.

Great experience! The walkers are the best - we worked with two main dog walkers over the years we used Waggy Walkys. Both were super reliable, and (I believe) genuinely loved seeing my dog every day. The report cards are very helpful - they always detailed how the walk went, #1 and/or #2, and any other details we should know about. The water bowl was always filled, so I'm sure my dog was well taken care of. I also used Waggy Walkys to book out-of-town stays for my dog, and each time, the scheduler made sure it was a good fit. Haven't had a bad experience in years of using them, and I can highly recommend their services!

Completely satisfied with the service provided by Waggy Walky's - incredibly easy to work with and always reliable. My work schedule can be variable and they are so accommodating with last minute changes. I also love the little notes and photos from my walker about how the walk went that day - it's such a relief to know that my pup is getting so well taken care of while I'm away. Highly recommend!!

I've been using Waggy Walkys for over a year! My dog Molly has loved her dog walkers. For most of that time, we have had a single walker, Scott, whom Molly LOVES. She always has a bug smile on her face when we see him out and about in Arlington. He always makes sure to leave a note and cookies. All other walkers we've had have followed instructions and leave cute notes for me when I get home. For the most part, when a walker is sick Waggy Walkys will schedule a new walker and notify me when some one arrives. We love them!

My husband and I have been a Waggy Walkys customer for four years. Our golden retriever is the love of our lives. We trust Waggy Walkys and have had a wonderful experience with the service as their staff is professional, organized and experienced. They are always quick to respond and accommodate our needs. We've had 3 different dog walkers in our 4 years with them and all have been wonderful. Rebecca walks our golden now and she is amazing and super easy to communicate with. It is a great feeling to know someone who cares for your dog is coming by during the day to give them a walk and some love! If you are looking for a new dog walker, don't hesitate to contact them! You won't be disappointed.

Emma is fantastic! Reliable and always on time on her walks. My dog loves her. This company is great- they are reliable, accommodating and very responsive. After many issues with Rover (lots of people don’t take the job seriously), Waggy Walkys has been a breath of fresh air. They care about their customers and about the dogs and you don’t ever have to worry about whether they will show up or not. They have also helped me several time with emergency visits. I strongly recommend them!!!

Julie is fabulous. She has been watching my dogs for more than 5 years. She loves them as much as we do. She watches dogs less than 25 pounds in a safe home environment. There is always a great play group for them. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Picture is my current dog Ruby who loves Julie.

I was so happy to board our dogs in a private home. Julie loves and knows dogs. She has rigorous procedures in place to make sure she is the right fit for you and you for her. Highly recommend!

Finding Julie's Pooch Pad has been a lifesaver for us! Our very anxious Bichon can not be boarded in the traditional way, locked up in a cage for most of the day. Julie's Pooch Pad provides a stress free and loving environment for small dogs and she spends most of her day at home with them, giving them constant human companionship! Her home and yard are the perfect place to leave your dog while you are out of town! The peace of mind that you have knowing that your dog is being pampered and looked after so well while you are away is priceless! Julie even emailed us updates on how he was doing while we were gone. We couldn't be more happy with Julie, and are grateful for the affection she shows to the small dogs she cares for. It is so obvious that she loves what she does and adores all the dogs that come through her front gate! Thank you Julie!

We moved to the area last fall with our dog Louie, a miniature poodle. We didn't know what to do when we needed to go out of town, who could care for Louie like we do? After searching many options we were lucky enough to find Julie's Pooch Pad. She cares for the dogs as if they are her own dogs, and Louie has not had any anxiety about going to the Pooch Pad and staying there. When we pick him up he is calm and happy. Thank you so much Julie for giving Louie such a loving environment!

There is no better place in the local area than the Pooch Pad. Willow had an incredible experience and Julie does such a great job comforting her guests while the parents are away. I highly recommend Julie for puppy care!

Julie's Pooch Pad offers a caring and calm environment for your dog! Like most pet owners, our dog is like family! Julie offers a loving (and pristine) home-away-from-home for your beloved pet. I recommend Julie to all my fellow pet-owning friends who are looking for boarding that is just like being at home!

We left our dog, Chloe, with Julie for two weeks, while we went on vacation. It was completely stress-free for us, because we saw how well Chloe took to Julie before we left her. Julie emailed us a photo and several email updates, as well. When we came to pick her up, we saw Chloe looking alert and playful through the window. After jumping all over me and my wife, Chloe even turned around to give Julie a lick! It was such a relief to know she got plenty of attention while we were gone. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Chloe with Julie in the future, as I know Chloe will be happy and active. Top ratings for Julie's Pooch Pad.

Julie cared for our mine-Dachsund, Lacy for a week while we were out of the country. She sent us updates and photos, and Lacy was well cared for. Julie puts a lot of care and personal effort into each dog, and we could clearly see that with ours. Highly recommended.

Julie is amazing! Our very anxious dog is happy at the Pooch Pad. Julie has gone above and beyond to make sure our dog feels calm and comfortable when we are away. We highly recommend calling Julie!

I left Juno with Julie for four nights when we went out of town. Juno is blind and deaf so I have had trouble finding places that respect his disabilities. He has always come home very stressed and unable to eat or sleep for several days. Not so with the Pooch Pad! After picking him up, he walked in the door and acted as if he hadn't been away. Julie had trouble getting him to eat but I knew that would probably be the case. She was very concerned about it. I felt like I had left him in a better place than he lives in! She takes them outside to play or, in Juno's case, sniff around the yard. Her yard is an ample adventure for Juno who loves just sniffing out his environment. He was happy around the other dogs even though he doesn't interact that much. That just the kind of guy he is. She makes sure that each dog's individual needs are met and does it seamlessly. I only hope that I will be able to plan ahead to be able to leave Juno with Julie every time we go out of town. You can't go wrong!

Love the staff. Erin was a saint and a great helo with my antisocial dog. He is really opening up. Gabriella is the owner and checks in, ut is wonder to do business with people that care for their clients both human and other.

We need a pet sitter for our two dogs for our holiday vacation and found Gabriela (owner) and her Burke Centre Pet Sitting company on line. We contacted her through email and got a quick response and she did a very thorough and complete consult to ensure our needs were met by her and her team. We met a few days before our departure which was day after Christmas. Within two days of our consult, one of our dogs became ill and had to be hospitalized during Christmas Eve due to reaction to a pain medication and was discharged Christmas Day. We contemplated canceling our vacation but didn’t and relied on Gabriela and her team to take care of our dog while she recovered (slowly). She needed medications, extra attention, as well as taking care of another dog while we were away for 5 days. We almost canceled our trip but glad we didn’t as Burke Center Pet Sitting took care of our fukids and helped our sick one recover during our absence. They communicated every day, checked in our dogs multiple times a day, dispensed medications, and cleaned up after a sick dog. Within the first day we were confident we made the right decision. I can go on about how great Burke Centre Pet Sitting is but the simplest way to put it is we put in their hands a dog that was hospitalized Christmas Eve and they were able to take care of her and make us comfortable to enjoy our vacation. I can’t give any testimony better than that. If you are looking for a local (Fairfax/Burke area), professional, and caring Pet Sitting service Gabriela and Burke Centre Pet Sitting is the way to go. I’m so glad I found this company because we’ll be a loyal customer for life.

Our dog Jack, loves Gabriella and Erin! From the minute we met them he was affectionate with them and he's not like that with everyone! My husband says they speak dog. It's true!! Erin cared for Jack for 10 days while we were away and he was so happy and content with her which was such a blessing! Jack can be a bit of a challenge to get outside when we're away, but they had no problems!! Our neighbors raved about the time and attention Erin have him in our absence! They often come middays and we receive the same reliability and care during those visits too!! We are so grateful to have found BCPS!!

I have used this company for two years for pet sitting at my home. We have an older Golden Retriever named Max. Our main pet sitter is a college student named Chris who is so great with dogs. He has watched our dog for as long as two weeks. Chris is excellent about keeping us up to date via txt messages and photos. We first learned about this company when we moved to Burke, and the military family we were renting a house from ( we are retired military but are now working for the government ) gave us a business card from this company. They told us that this company was the best dog walking / sitting company in Burke. The owner of the company, Gabriela, is very professional and really has your pet's interest in mind when she selects a pet sitter / Walker for your dog. She takes the time to get to know you and your pet, and goes the extra mile to provide the best care for your pet. I cannot say enough good things about this company. The military family who recommended Burke Centre Pet Sitting really knew what they were talking about ! Mary G.

Gabriela's team did a great job watching our cat, Abby, for 2 weeks. Abby was well taken care of. They also took care of the plants and garden, such a bonus. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Fantastic service! Your pets are our family! That's how Burke Centre Pet Sitting makes you feel! Excellent service. Thank you💞💞💞 …

I don’t know what happened, but I tried to call the store during business hours, and no one picked up the phone. Also, the address for the store is wrong, which makes the location hard to find.

We have an excellent day walker for ur dogs. He is a dog whisperer for sure.

Our dog is always well cared for by BCPS, locally owned and operated

Always take good care of our dog

I recently started working with Kim’s Urban Hounds to help me walk my dog. Having certain medical conditions make it difficult to walk and also up and down stairs. Kim and her staff have been wonderful! They’re friendly, accommodating, understanding, supportive, helpful, and caring. Me and my dog always feel comfortable with them. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Kim is an amazing person—extremely caring and dedicated to providing top-quality service. The dog walker who takes care of my dogs is phenomenal—highly professional, respectful of my property, and has a remarkable connection with the animals. I couldn’t recommend their services more!

Kim’s Urban Hounds did a great job taking care of our senior “pup” while we were away. Our situation was a little unique in that they were able to partner with some of my family who stayed with him to make sure that he had the medical care he needed. They were very flexible and accommodating to what worked best for us. Our elderly dog Carson has mobility issues and struggles to stand on his own, but I received word that he stood up by himself once when Brandon arrived for his daily walk! That was great evidence that Carson really felt comfortable with Brandon, and was happy to see him. Kim’s Urban Hounds has an app that was very convenient. It provided us with one place for our conversations, scheduling calendar, payment info, etc. They also sent daily reports with how his visits went so I knew how his days were going. This gave me peace of mind. If I had a question or concern, Kim or another member of her staff would return my message promptly. I would not hesitate to employ their services again, and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing dog sitting or dog walking services. Thank you again for everything, Kim!

I have 2 dogs and the older one just had surgery and is confined for a few months. I wondered what I would do. Reach out to these folks, received a very positive and quick response. Had a meet and great where my younger dog gave Kim kisses. He's excited every time I get him ready for his walk. He's a beagle and barks like crazy when she shows up. Completely happy with this experience and my dog Rollo is too (that's the most important thing). Highly recommend this company, I get instant feed back from the walks with photos and videos!

Wonderful first experience with Kim and her team! Her staff was very sweet with sending great updates and pictures of my cat while I was away. I recently relocated and needed to find a high quality pet sitting service for my cat as a travel often for work. The convenience of having an app on my phone and being able to share extensive notes with the sitters made me feel confident while traveling. I could message the team day or night! Thank you Kim — I recommend and will book again!

I recently moved and was delighted to find that I am still living in the area serviced by Kim’s Urban Hounds. Their dog walkers have always been great! They are reliable, prompt and love dogs. Last year I tore a hamstring muscle and could barely walk. I called Kim’s and they promptly sent someone to walk my dog Samson and continued to walk him until I recovered. I’m doubly pleased to know that Martin works in my current neighborhood—Samson loves him to death!! I look forward to being able to leave home for a few hours knowing that Samson will have company and get a good walk while I’m away!

Kim and her team of dog walkers have been great caretakers of my dog. They have always been able to handle a last-minute request. They have been mindful of her quirks as well as needs during illness. I appreciate their daily reports and photos. They are true pet lovers!

If you want top customer service and dog care (or pet care) you can trust, then Kim's Urban Hounds won't disappoint you. The peace of mind I have come to have knowing they will be caring for my dogs has made a world of difference any time I need to travel. They go above and beyond to meet your and, most importantly, your pets' needs! I love their caregivers and trust them wholeheartedly.

My wife & I have a beautiful Standard Poodle who is just a year & 1/2. I recently purchased in home camera primarily for security reasons because we live in an apartment. Well! What I did not know was our Poodle was insecure & had major anxiety, crying & whining for hours. We use Kim's Dog Walking Service Monday, Wednesdays & Fridays which the walker is so friendly & we get Report Card after every walk. This was not enough to help with our Poodles anxiety so we adopted an 8 month mixed hound. Wow! Guess what, it worked & Kim's dog walking service would not charge us for the additional new dog we had. Our Poodle had so much fun with our new puppy until our newly adopted dog was struck with a unique pneumonia after having her for just 3 weeks. Our little hound was hospitalized for 4 days with oxygen & was released to us in such poor condition. I could not feed her, she would not open her mouth for me & at the same time my wife was out of town for 4 days. My wife called Kim from Charlotte for consultation & within an hour, Kim is at our apartment taking care of newly adopted puppy. She brought with her food, syringes to help feed & water the dog. I was at work & when I came home my wife told me Kim was going swing by that evening & give me instruction on how to care for my puppy. Guess what! Kim was there & the next morning & evening for 3 straight days providing such loving care. After 3 days on a Sunday morning & my wife still out of town, Kim & I decided we could not save her. Of course it was my decision & Kim even cried helping me carry my newly adopted dog to the car. I have never met such courageous, loving women like Kim besides my wife. Her dog walking service is AMAZING! Her staff does not just walk our dogs but talks with our dog(s) & engages. The report cards are the best. Kim will be in our hearts forever & we will continue to use her services. Kim's Urban Hounds & Dog Walking Service is a 10 out of 10. Kurt & Colleen

After a serious leg accident where I am the only person in my home who walks our dog, we needed help immediately. My husband found Kim's Urban Hounds online and contracted her organization to walk our dog. We are extremely happy with the people who walk our dog. Our dog looks forward to their visits every day. I highly recommend Kim's business

The Great Catsby has been great to work wirh! I moved and then needed a very last minute cat sitter for a business trip. I realized my old cat sitter was out of network, who then recommended The Great Catsby. Callie quickly jumped in to help. Their team is so good with cats! I loved all the pictures I got while I was away and also the comfort of knowing my cat was in good hands. Callie was extremely knowledgeable and asked me great questions to ensure my cat, Pretzel, was well taken care of. I also love the report card! Also, just the level of consideration to checking in with you to make sure you got back! Thank you.

I am so glad that I found Callie! She is wonderful, caring, and so professional. Great Castby Care is wonderful and my cats would 100% recommend. They enjoyed Callie’s care ❤️ My cats love her :)

The Great Catsby is the way I can FINALLY enjoy vacations again! My Brownie is asthmatic & uses an inhaler. Callie & her crew come twice a day to check in on her… she gets her inhaler, food, clean litter, & 30 minutes of love, brushing & play at each visit! She rushes to meet them & they let her guide the visit!!! The pictures & reports are fabulous, & Brownie is a happy girl!!!

We met with Callie months ago and she was thorough in gaining details for our cat (habits, eating, etc). After the initial meeting, I felt super confident we were in good hands. We were first time users with the Great Catsby Care and Morgan/Barbara provided detailed reports and great pictures while we were away! It really helped us to be at ease on our vacation knowing our cat was well taken care of by his team! We cannot recommend enough, the Great Catsby Care!

Morgan & Callie took care of our babies while we were on vacation for a week and we looked forward to their updates everyday! We have very anxious kitties and they brought a Feliway defuser to calm them which was very thoughtful. They played with them, gave them treats, served food & fresh water, cleaned the litter box, and took care of any messes. We were so happy with their services that we already booked them for our next trip out of town!

Callie and her entire team are wonderful with our two kittens, and help keep our house running smoothly while we are away. We love getting their adorable updates with photos of daily playtime adventures, and have been so impressed with the attention to detail that each sitter has provided. Highly recommend!

We highly recommend Great Catsby for taking care of your furbabies. We have relied on Callie and her team several times now, and have always been impressed with the high quality of care provided to our cats, and with the comprehensive and timely readouts (loved the photos!). During a recent trip, we were incredibly thankful for how they dealt with our sick cat; they even washed affected sofa covers!! They truly care for your pets and your home. If you want peace of mind, go with Great Catsby!

I have been using Callie and her Team with the Great Catsby Care for a little under a year now and half a dozen visits and plenty more planned. I can't say anything but positive things. The truly are cat people and that shows in love and care they provide. I love the app they use to communicate while I'm gone. Updates through pictures and daily feedback. They play and interact with the cats and keep them engaged when they visit. Make sure my home is well cared for and safe and put me at ease every time I have to be away. Before finding Callie, I had been with a previous service who switched sitters and put me in an uncomfortable situation with my pets, I am so grateful for finding Callie and I wish I had from the very beginning. Thank you Callie, Jen and Dawn. My cats are like my children and I truly appreciate the care you provide.

We were very pleased with Great Catsby Care LLC and strongly recommend their services. Callie and Morgan took care of our two adult cats recently. They were very attentive to them, administered medication, and sent us photos and detailed updates each day. We greatly appreciate their professionalism and will call them again in the future.

Callie is such a caring a professional individual - we felt we could trust her with our cats completely! From the very first meet and greet to each message sent during our vacation, we could tell she got along with our cats so well and really understood each of their personalities and needs. We recommend her highly and will definitely use her services again!

This team takes fantastic care of my senior dog, and has always been able to squeeze us in even when my work schedule gets unpredictable! I love the thorough updates and photos they send after every visit to walk my dog, and I feel very confident that she will be well cared for by anyone who works for Alexandria Pet Care. Lucky to have found this service!

I can not say enough good things about the team at Alexandria Pet Care. I have the pleasure of being both a client and a supplier for them. They take amazing care of our three crazy, goofy, four legged kids. If we have special needs, instructions or requests they always take care to help with them. This same care is true in the relationship with them as a supplier too. I always know my dogs will be well cared for and that I will be too. I highly recommend and trust the team at Alexandria Pet Care.

We have used Alexandria Pet Care numerous times to pet-sit our cat, and we have always had a great experience. They are extremely conscientious and always do a fantastic job. They have our trust and strong recommendation.

Frazier (my very unique boxer) and I moved to VA this fall. It’s been a big transition and Alexandria Pet Care has been instrumental in Frazier’s adjustment. Always detailed/fast communication, excellent recommendations for other pet services in the area, and he adores all of his sitters. We highly recommend!

We have been using Alexandria Pet Care for the past year and they have been great. Andy took care of our cat this past week and he did a great job. The front office is very responsive and their website is very easy to use with scheduling visits and paying invoices.

I have been using Alexandria Pet Care services for my cat and this company has been more than reliable! Ronnie has been an amazing cat sitter for my cat Selena. I never have to worry when booking. They also have a perfect system through an app where you can book services and communicate easily. They also have excellent customer service. I’m glad I found their services and I definitely recommend!

Alexandria Pet Care is wonderful! Their team has taken the time to help support my pets and always handles them kindness. These folks really love animals and go the extra mile to make sure the pets are cared for.

We had a wonderful experience with Alexandria Pet Care and are very pleased with their services! We left our cats in their care for five days during a holiday weekend, during which we got updates for each visit and were able to see the times they visited, all of which were within timeframes requested. They also sent cute pictures and went above and beyond in every way. They provided excellent care and we came home to a lovely journal documenting their visits and funny ways our cats behaved. We loved their professional team approach, and we will definitely use them again. Thank you, Alexandria Pet Care!!

Alexandria Pet Care has been so helpful for our dog. We scheduled 4 in home one-on-one sessions for our newly adopted puppy last year and it was so helpful for her. She was reactive towards other dogs and people but after just one session our dog made so much progress. Alex, the trainer, also taught us the best way to help with her anxiety and how to continue making progress with her after our 4 sessions were completed. Alex has also been helpful answering questions via email since our sessions have ended, and at no charge.

The APC Team's kindness and attention were truly exceptional. They provided extraordinary care to our fur babies, treating them as if they were their own. Their commitment to meeting us and collecting comprehensive information before starting services ensured seamless and thoughtful care. Additionally, the adorable photos they took of our pups in action were a delightful bonus. They are who we call to care for our precious pups.
