Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Marlen was such a blessing. We had another sitter cancel just a week before our vacation date so I was so relieved that she was able to step in at such short notice. She came to meet our pups a few days in advance so they would recognize her. While we were away, Marlen sent picture updates and made sure the dogs were cared for. So glad to have found someone like her to help us out.
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!
Katrina and her family were amazing house sitters who took wonderful care of our dog. Our dog is reluctant to go on walks with new people, but the entire family pitched in and found ways to take her to the park. Her daughter developed a particularly close bond with our dog. Katrina communicated us frequently and we always felt reassured by her messages. We returned from our long trip to a spotless home and a beautiful cake in the fridge. What more could you want!
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
I could go on forever because Veronica was beyond incredible! We feel so fortunate that she was able to sit for us. Our fur babies were so spoiled with love and attention. Veronica followed their regular schedule, gave our dog her joint supplement, and helped clean her paws with medicated wipes from our vet. Our cat is very shy and sometimes doesn’t even come out for sitters and he loved Veronica! She brushed him and gave him so much love. They were both so happy when we came home. Veronica went above and beyond for us! She even made us masks, got us some disinfectant spray we haven’t been able to find and to top it off she made us bolognese sauce with sweet chicken sausage! She even left us a new box of pasta to make when we got home! We couldn’t believe we got to come home to an incredibly clean house, dinner and such happy pets! Veronica sent pictures and updates daily which made our time away even more relaxing. She took cleaning and sanitizing very seriously which we appreciated so much! We highly recommend her! She treated us, our home and pets just like family. We would love to have her sit for us again and are so grateful for everything she did for us! Also - dinner was delicious!!

Giselle is wonderful and took such great care of my pups. I had to extend their stay by one day and there was no issue. I highly recommend her and my dogs will be back! She also sent home the sweetest care package with them.
Giselle and Brian of Canine Comforts did an incredible job taking care of my four-legged friend. Typically, I try to arrange for a friend or family member to stay at my house or drop by a few times per day to take care of my dog when I have to travel. However, unexpected events required me to travel out of state for a few days and my friends/family who normally watch my dog were unavailable. Thus, I was forced to look into dog boarding services. After researching and calling a few different options, I stumbled upon Canine Comforts. Giselle confirmed that they could take my dog the following morning, and provided clear instructions for me to streamline the intake process. A few hours after I dropped off my dog, Canine Comforts sent me a link to a shared Google Photos album, where they added pictures of my dog throughout his stay. It was really nice to see him running and playing with all the other dogs. Canine Comforts was also incredibly accommodating regarding my dog's pick-up schedule. Originally, I had planned to pick him up from Canine Comforts on Sunday, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to fly back home until the following day. Canine Comforts was willing to extend my dog's stay and hang onto him for an additional day. Thank you, Giselle and Brian, for making an otherwise stressful last-minute travel experience easy and pain-free! My dog loved staying with you, and I certainly plan to utilize your services in the future.
Working with Giselle & Brian was a blessing. She was accommodating to all my needs especially on a last minute notice when my boarder cancelled last minute. I have taken my pups there multiple times for day care and they come home tired and ready for bed every time. Giselle and Brian have been amazing and would recommend them to anyone looking for boarding or day care.
Our pup spent 5 nights with Giselle and Brian while we were out of town and we were thrilled with the care she received! Giselle and Brian are incredibly knowledgeable and truly care about the dogs they care for. We took so much comfort in knowing that our pup was a part of their family, received individual attention and got to play with new friends. Fantastic communication every step of the way - from scheduling a meet and great to pick up after our trip - and the picture updates were appreciated too. Highly recommend, we will be using Giselle and Brian again!
Super convenient to have non-crate boarding IN Vienna! I’ve been taking our dog to Giselle and Brian for over a year and know he’s in good hands. He gets to play with other dogs, be outside and most importantly, is not caged up at night. Rates at excellent if you buy a package!!
Great place. Owners very responsive and truly love all the dogs they have. My puppy just spent three nights with Giselle and Brian and he was well cared for and came home exhausted from all his playing outdoors. Highly recommend Canine Comforts.
My dog has a hard time leaving, when I come to pick him up. Very professionally organized. It's great to have such a dependable service and knowing your little one is well taken care of!
Great with my nervous little rescue! Very professional and accommodating also.
We’re really happy with Giselle and the way she treated our dog!
Absolutely amazing, great with all kinds of dogs, and the sweetest people ever, who actually love ALL dogs.
This is a fantastic self serve dog wash! Very reasonable prices. A raised tub to save your back with sturdy steps for large dogs. Great selection of shampoos and very good water pressure. Fluffy clean towels and an adjustable hand dryer to get your dog dry. I stopped by while traveling with my dog and I wish this was closer to my house. I would use it all the time in the cold weather. They also have a great selection of healthy natural treats in the lobby! Great place and a very good deal.
My dog Kunu has been attending daycare here for years. He loves to go and I love the fact it wears him out. He is a high energy dog that needs the activity and socialization. Plus, they have the best prices on the raw food he requires because of his digestive sensitivity.
LOVE Paws-N-Play! I have been using them for my cat-sitting needs for almost three years now. Every time I come home I have a report card ready for me to read and my cats seem very well attended. They are also very reasonably priced. The last time I left town I forgot to give my kitten his medications and Paws-N-Play was on it! I feel extremely comforted every time I am away due to the good hands of Paws-N-Play. Thank you for everything you all do!
I’m really sorry to have to do this, as I think Jacqui has the very best intentions in mind. We had an unfortunate experience at Paws & Play and after two days of attending we decided to pull our puppy from this daycare. Below is a list of things went wrong. This is not an intention to bash the daycare’s owner or the daycare itself- but for awareness because we were very disappointed. 1. The website states that dogs are separated by size and temperament. Our puppy was about 15 pounds when he started and when we picked him up, he was with the big, big dogs. He seemed okay, albeit timid, until we met a husky on our very first walk post daycare and reacted in fear and aggression. Before the daycare, our dog approached dogs of all sizes with tail wagging. Luckily we have worked hard with him and he is better now. 2. We provided food for our dog to be fed in the middle of the day as he is a puppy and he gets fed 3 times a day. He did not get his meal fed to him, because she/they forgot to feed him. He was starving when he got home. 3. They open at 6:30, which is when my husband showed up our second day. She didn’t come to open the doors until 6:45. Husband missed the train for work. 4. We were asked what type of food we feed our dog. We responded with “core wellness, both dry and wet”. I was completely judged. She responded, “dry food is a complete waste. Processed food, even if you buy the 80 dollar bag”. Then proceeded to tell me about the food they sell there. Clearly trying to sell to me. There are a few other smaller things that turned us off, but these were the major ones. Unfortunate experience because I really wanted to like this place but I do not feel good leaving our dog there.
Love this place! It's so nice for my deaf pup to have a safe way to play off leash and socialize. It's also the best place, by far, to get healthy food/treats for her.
Service was very nice. We washed our blue healer they only have one tub elevated place is very clean
It was ok, we went late like a hour early and they were preparing to close, so the food wasn't fresh at all.
Very good puppy play! My baby had a ball there every time he visited.
Great prices, quality products, friendly staff.
Jacqui is very friendly and helpful
A Thank You to Lauren and the Story of an Ex-Reactive Rescue Dog ✨ Oh, it was such a joy to finally take my favorite rescue dog, Nessa (an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois), home after a month of walks at the shelter. It was exciting because she was our first dog ever. But after just 5 days, we started noticing serious problems: endless barking (I'm not exaggerating when I say 500 times a day), reactivity towards dogs/people/cats/birds, protective behavior, pulling on the leash, restlessness at home, uncontrollable behavior, it felt dangerous... To be honest, after 10 days, we considered bringing her back to the shelter. We felt so incapable and thought someone else could handle it better. This was not at all the dog we had dreamed of. But then came the turning point. We desperately called Lauren, who guided us from A to Z. Thanks to her help, Nessa transformed in just a few weeks into a happy, relaxed dog. I never could have dreamed back then that we would have such a wonderful dog now. She can now walk off-leash, is no longer reactive, has found peace, is super obedient, is starting to trust people, and our bond is stronger than ever. If you are struggling, I want to encourage you and let you know there is hope. Don’t be afraid to ask for help because a good relationship with your dog is worth its weight in gold. Charlotte
Amazing trainer, who knows a lot about dogs!!! It’s been great to learn and see her in action. No doubt, 100% recommended!! 👌 …
We have been using Off Collar for kitty visits for about 18 months and have nothing but good things to say. They are responsive and prompt. Thank you for taking such good care of Patches!!
My wife and I are happy we found Lauren and Off Collar. Our Great Pyrenees was impossible to walk, constantly barking at other dogs. Enter Lauren and within a short period of time, our dog was walking by our side, not barking and listening to commands. What a wonderful trainer and walker. Thank you Lauren, we couldn’t have done it without you!!!
We (and our pets) love Off Collar! Lauren, Katherine, and Alyzah are so sweet with our babies. It is hard to find someone to trust with a Great Dane. They are big animals but also very sensitive and require a gentle but firm touch. Our boy is always so excited to get walked by any of them, and we’re glad to have people we can rely on to give him some company midday. Katherine also takes care of our two kittens when we are away for vacation. They are very shy, but last month, they finally came out to say hi to her, so they must have decided in the end they like her after all :) Off Collar is also very understanding of emergencies and flexible, which is hugely helpful because we have variable schedules each month.
I love Off Collar! Lauren has been amazing in coordinating and supporting my senior pup! Alyzah, my pup’s wonderful walker, is so good with him and keeps me informed if she notices anything out of the ordinary. They’ve both been very …
We are so grateful to the Off Collar team for helping take care of our dog! Sandi, our walker, was always prompt, friendly, and so patient with our dog Ivy, who is sometimes scared and anxious. She sent detailed updates after every walk, …
We’ve had a few 1-1 sessions with Lauren to help with our reactive dog, Chloe, as well as monthly pack walks. She has been nothing short of phenomenal and has helped us so much! She taught us the skills and tools to help work with Chloe and …
I cannot say enough about how awesome Lauren is! She helped me and my dog work through some behavioral issues recently. I was at my wits end with him and had read/watched everything I could find and nothing seemed to be making a difference. …
Lauren has been great with Karma (dog) and his parents (us). We are learning a lot in such a short amount of time and have already seen a positive difference.
