Katie and Kevin did such a wonderful job caring for our dog Evie and looking after our apartment! They were extremely friendly and it was easy to tell they had experience with dogs. We really appreciated their flexibility and the updates they provided us throughout their stay. We would definitely have them stay at our place again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
I really enjoyed my dogsit looking after the sweet and lovable Lola. I only stayed for the weekend but Kaye's house is really clean and modern and easily accessible to amenities and central Bristol by car or public transport (Metro bus stop is within 5minute walking distance). Lola is very excitable when you meet her but quickly calms down. She just loves sitting on the sofa with you and hanging out. She is good on the lead and sleeps downstairs at night. Plenty of walks and parks nearby so I didn't need to take her in the car. Lola was as good as gold and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house sit.
Peter was incredibly welcoming & explained all of the pet and house care in detail. He was available to answer questions on the phone and provided info on nearby places to visit. Definitely recommend !
Great family and house! We had a wonderful time!
Dianne's home was cozy and comfortable. She gave clear instructions for Dixie's care as well as the ins and outs of the area. She was very welcoming when we arrived and introduced us to her neighbors for additional support if we needed it. Dixie was so fun to look after and bond with. She quite a talker. She'll play hard to get at first but warms up after a few ear and chin scratches. She's really very sweet and likes to be in on what's hapoening.
I thoroughly enjoyed pet sitting for Janet. She was absolutely delightful and incredibly accommodating. Her home is cozy and conveniently located in a safe neighborhood with nearby shopping options. I especially loved the extra deep bathtub. Janet has three pets - two gorgeous sheepdoodles named Lady and Gemma, and a very affectionate kitty named Spice. You will get stopped anywhere you go with the dogs by people telling you how pretty they are. The dogs are incredibly loving and enjoy sleeping with you, either on the bed or nearly on top of you. They are friendly and well-behaved, with Gemma occasionally getting excited in a happy and playful way, craving attention. Lady, as her name suggests, is an absolute charm. Overall, they are very easy to care for, requiring some playtime in the form of ball throwing or a walk to burn off their energy. They have a doggy door for their various needs throughout the day, which makes things easy. Spice, the cat, is a joy to be around. She usually spends her time napping in the backyard. Whenever she wants food, she lets you know with her adorable meowing. I particularly appreciated how she would sleep either at the foot of the bed or curled up on my chest, purring. She is an incredibly sweet girl and has the softest fur imaginable. She will great you as soon as you arrive and will be friendly from the start. Overall, my experience with this pet sit was wonderful. I highly recommend it to others.
This is a 5-star sit for so many reasons. In part, Bob and Kathy have been on TrustedHousesitters for many years and it shows. Let’s start with Bob being amazing at promptly and considerately connecting with applicants for sitter selection. He could write a training guide for all owners. If you look back over the years at the feedback from sitters, and the sitter reviews by Bob, you will see consistently outstanding reviews. That comes from their thorough vetting of all applicants. Add to that the fact that from beginning to end Bob and Kathy focussed on assuring that my visit would be enjoyable. They were considerate, caring, and generous, and showed their appreciation in so many ways. My thanks to them both for all that they did. The home is clean and comfortable and I found the guest room bed to be extremely comfortable. The home is set in an excellent village-like neighbourhood. A wide variety of restaurants and a supermarket are within easy walking distance. Many sitters will also appreciate knowing that the TV remote is so simple to manage. For many sitters, that is one of the biggest challenges! Bob and Kathy made sure I had contact information for two neighbours, in case I had any concerns. Both neighbours were friendly and welcoming, without being intrusive. Bob and Kathy were also prompt in replying to my texts, and we kept in regular friendly contact throughout. They assured me that they were available at all times and that was the case. As for Molly, well she is quite a character. She is relatively low maintenance, only requiring a short morning walk around a few streets. Although this allows a sitter plenty of free time, I can assure you that Molly also really appreciates company. As I am a homebody, I think this type of sitter, or someone who works from home, would suit her well. I would not hesitate to recommend this sit and would be happy to return, if available.

We have an indoor/outdoor cat and a couple times a year we go on a weekend trip. C-PUP has always provided great service for our critter and has always been there, even on short notice. They feed our cat, top off or change the water, clean the litter, give some pets and playtime, email us a picture of our cat, and bring our mail and packages inside once a day. They've taken care of our cat when we decided to leave her in the house or outside. They have also kept our garden alive during summer trips by watering for a little extra charge. I would highly recommend C-PUP! We have used their services a couple times a year for the past 5 years or so.
We've been working with C-PUP for dog walking and dog sitting for over a year now. If you are looking for a walker or in-home sitting service, I'll assume that your fur family members are incredibly important to you and you want to make sure they are getting the best care possible. C-PUP provides just that. They are incredibly professional, well-organize, thorough and meticulous when it comes to understanding what your pet needs for care. We have three dogs of various ages, including a senior dog that requires extra-special care and C-PUP is incredibly attentive to all of their different needs. They are wonderfully communicative as well, especially during over-night pet-sitting. Your fur family will be in wonderful hands with C-PUP.
Over the years, all of our cats have been well taken care of by C-Pup. They are a pleasure to work with, trustworthy, and they always keep us posted (text msg and e-mail) on how things are going with our fur babies. Also, for us what is very important is that they are a local neighborhood business. Being local means being able to provide their services quickly.
I LOVE C-PUP! We have used them over the past few years and they are fantastic! Shannon (owner) is very professional, thorough in interviewing dog(s) owner(s), getting detailed information on what the needs and desires are of owners and pets!!! She is incredibly organized and meticulous in ensuring that pets and owners may leave each other with an easy mind. All of her staff have been generous, patient, lovely people who treat us (humans and pets) with great care! A detailed report card is left at each visit outlining the activities our dogs performed, their affect, and notes on the overall visit. We have traveled and used C-PUP for home stays and also as a dog walking service. Our dogs have become so familiar with C-PUP staff that it's as if another family member is with them. Wonderful, wonderful people and service. I can't say enough good things about Shannon and C-PUP! I recommend them to anyone and everyone expressing an interest in pet services. Our dogs love them; we love them!
C-PUP has been walking our two dogs for over 2 years and they both still run to the door to great C-PUP's walkers every time they come to the house. They've been very easy to work with for both their dog walking services and their pet sitting services. C-PUP is super responsive, and incredibly flexible when plans change at the last minute. I can't recommend them enough!!
I have used C-PUP for several years now, and I am pleased and thankful that I can really count on them to provide great care to my pets when I'm out of town! I'm the proud mom of two kitties, and C-PUP has been excellent in their care of the pets. The owner is responsive, the prices are very reasonable and the staff that care for my guys provide a full report upon return, with some personalized notes so you know they are not just in and out, but truly care for your pet, which is priceless. They've always addressed my needs and are very professional. I could not be happier, and relieved that if its not me, its C-PUP!
We have been clients of C-PUP Pet Sitting & Dog Walking for over 7 months and have been consistently pleased with the service provided. Shannon is responsive and professional. Our dog walker, Emily, is terrific. Our dog is always delighted when she arrives for his daily walks and play. We have also used C-PUP at least three times for pet sitting and have no hesitation to continue to do so. Shannon asks for details, such as when we will depart and when we are expected to return. She makes sure we have returned when expected, so our dog is not alone or missing dinner. Shannon's attention to detail gives us peace of mind. We are very satisfied customers and are grateful to have such a terrific provider to help keep our dog happy and healthy and well-exercised. We highly recommend C-PUP.
C-Pup is fantastic! We had someone stay overnight with our pets while we were gone and she did a great job. Typically when I go away I worry about our pets, but with C-Pup we got frequent updates and I knew they were in good hands. When we arrived home our cats and dogs were well-adjusted and excited to see us. I can't imagine going on vacation and having anyone else stay with our pets. I highly recommend C-Pup.
The team at C-PUP has been taking care of my Golden Retriever, Breeze since we brought her home 4 years ago. While my husband and I worked in full-time jobs during the day, we had multiple scheduled walks for her energy level. During that time, Breeze was so well cared for and loved, just as we would have done if we were there. As I transitioned to full-time work from home, I now call on C-PUP for our overnight sitting needs. When we go out of town, whoever stays with Breeze loves her just as much as we do. They provide detailed notes, pictures/updates and take care of any worries we have while we're away. I would recommend any of their services if you wish for your pet to receive the highest quality of care when you can't do it yourself!
We've been using C-PUP to look after our cats for several years, and we've always had an outstanding experience. We get email updates once or twice while we're away. We arrive home to find a written daily log of feeding, meds, visits, etc. I can recommend them without hesitation.
Josephine and Chris are a godsend! We have a very energetic and dog reactive Pudelpointer and they have been taking great care of her off and on for the last 2 years. She gets plenty of love and has been able to socialize with many dogs which is helpful in her behavior training. Highly recommended service!
Chris and his team have been so wonderful! Chris is responsive, and works with my ever-changing schedule, and is great with my dog. I love that he uses the Pet Check technology - I get an email when they arrive, and again when they leave with a note about the walk, and sometimes a picture :) Paying invoices is smooth and easy. After using two other dog walkers, we've stuck with Chris for quite some time now and I highly recommend using him and his team.
We've used Chris and Peticular Charm Per Care several times. They've always done a great job and have been consistent, reliable, and professional. Our dogs are French Bulldogs and they have special needs. Chris and team did a great job with them and the dogs loved them. Finally, you can tell when you meet Chris and team that they are really animal lovers...
I highly recommend Peticular Charm Pet Care to anyone who is looking for dog walking services in the DC area. Chris is always very responsive and helpful when I reach out to him via email about scheduling extra walks or cancelling walks. Our little dog adores his walker and looks forward to his daily afternoon walks. Our walker is diligent in checking in with us and texting us updates as needed. Lastly, the app used by Peticular Charm is very convenient--you can see when your dog was walked, what route they took, and what your dog, ahem, *did* on his walk. I really trust Peticular Charm to look after my dog and give him the walks he craves in the middle of the day.
Chris and his team of walkers are great. Mark has walked our dog for a number of months and we've been super happy (as has our puppy). Their use of the Pet Check system makes tracking and paying for service so easy and convenient. We have recommended them to several families already and will continue to do so.
I’m thrilled with the dog walking services of PETicular Charm! The owner, Chris, came by to meet our little guys, took notes on behavior and routine. Very good rates! An added plus is that Chris and his crew can board a dog at the last minute in case we have an emergency. I trust Chris and his employees explicitly with our dogs and our house! Chris is also a very well read, traveled, cultured musician with a fascinating life. My dogs are in interesting company - kinda jealous!
The team at Peticular Charm has been great! We use them for daily walks, doggy daycare once a week, and they also watched our 8 month old puppy when we were out of town for a week. They sent daily pictures and videos so that we knew our puppy was having a good time. Honestly, I think our puppy would rather live with his friends from Peticular Charm than us!
We met Chris while he was out walking one of his clients and enjoyed talking with him so much, we decided he would be our new dog walker. He is reliable and wonderful with our scaredy-pup. I've recommended him to our neighbors and friends, and we rest easy when we leave town knowing Chris is looking in on our pup.
We have had multiple dog walkers in the last few years and Chris and his team are definitely some of the best. Peticular Charms is very accommodating, very flexible and reasonably priced. They use Petcheck technology, which is great. I highly recommend Peticular Charms.
Peticular Charm City dog walker was absolutely the best! She not only walked my pup she also did the overnights, all on a very short notice! So thanks a million to Chris and his great walker Annie! Otto adores you......
My pup was attacked by another dog at Central Bark. I have been taking her off and on to daycare here for over 2 years and never had a problem. She also goes to Bark Social, Barkhaus, and other dog parks with no issues ever. It’s still not clear how this happened or what the handlers did to intervene. When I got the call, I drove immediately to pick her up. Janet (co-owner) was more concerned with covering their liability. It’s a traumatic experience hearing your dog is seriously injured but all she kept saying was “as you know from the paperwork you signed” and “these things happen which we said in the paperwork you signed.” There was no sympathy at all. In fact, it’s been almost a week and NOT ONE team member has reached out to see how my baby is doing. Janet also tried to downplay the seriousness as “just one puncture wound.” I had to take her to the ER where it turns out she had more than one puncture wound and lots of scratches. How long did it go on before staff intervened? Why won’t they share video footage? What was the staff-to-dog ratio? Were there warning signs the handlers missed? Dogs don’t just snap without any warning signs. If you’re considering taking your dog here consider a few things: LACK OF TRANSPARENCY: Most daycares in the area have live feeds or pre-recorded videos they share with pet parents. Some even send you daily pictures or written reports. Central Bark posts intermittently on their social media pages but I rarely saw my pup featured and couldn’t tell if she was enjoying herself. I would ask staff how she did at pickup and frequently they would say they weren’t in her play group and had no information. I also don’t know how crowded the spaces are. I’ve been to daycares where they turn you down if they have reached max capacity for that day. We were never turned down. Without cameras or photos, it’s hard to say if they are taking in more dogs than they can handle. PRICE: They are very expensive and require at least one daycare day a week. If you stop bringing your pup for a month then they require a $40 behavior assessment on top of the $42 daily daycare rate.
My dog has been going to Central Bark for over a year and I can’t say enough good things. She was quite nervous her first day, having had a negative experience at a different boarding facility. The owner of Central Bark took a lot of time to answer my questions and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was safe and comfortable at daycare. She also worked with me and identified the slower daycare days which allowed my dog to continue adjusting to the environment without getting overwhelmed. The entire staff quickly won over my dog with their kindness and patience. My dog now jumps up and down at the mention of “daycare” and sprints through the door when we arrive at Central Bark. She regularly attends daycare and has boarded several times. She always runs out of Central Bark the way she runs in - happy and healthy. If you’re looking for daycare or boarding, put Central Bark at the top of your list.
Central Bark Landover has been a life saver for our family. They are incredibly friendly, responsible, and take such good care of our Nala. Our baby is a little anxious when separating from us, especially from my husband, but the staff at CBL know exactly what to do to help her transition smoothly during drop-off. You can tell Nala loves and trusts the staff because she wags her tail and willingly goes back with them - that's a huge accomplishment. Online booking is a breeze for both daycare and boarding, which we've used when traveling. Having grooming services on site are a big plus - they make sure Nala looks nice and fluffy when we pick her up! We feel so lucky to have this neighborhood gem!
The groomer is the best, my dog has anxiety but she’s comfortable with her groomer! The business smells clean and the front desk has improved!!
Excellent! My dog Dallas was picture perfect. He was relaxed and happy not traumatized when I picked him up. The family was clean. The staff was very professional and appeared to love their jobs.
This is the 2nd time that I have boarded my tiny yorkie with them. The first time, they were very responsive and sent me pictures of Scandal playing outside with other dogs. We were allowed to bring things from home and sent reports. This time, when we picked up our pup, she was dehydrated and did not really seem like herself. Not sure if we will be back.
My dog loves going here. He gets so excited to get inside and play with his furry friends. He comes home and sleeps after a day of Enrichment Daycare. They offer shampoo service and grooming. I feel it's a safe and fun place to drop my dog off during my working days.
My fur baby has been going to Central Bark for almost a year now. I have been so pleased with the enrichment program they have there. My dog has been very happy there and that makes me very happy! I trust the owners and staff to continue providing the great care they give him - whether it's during his weekly enrichment, his sleepovers or from his awesome groomer! (He loves her!!!!❤️.) The facility is well kept and the owners are great! It's so comforting to know that he's in a safe, caring and enriching environment.
I would of loved to give this place 5 stars but I am very disappointed in the fact that my dog was suppose to start his Behavior Assessment day and the owners didn't even give him a chance to walk inside the daycare. To their words he was being aggressive because he barked at another dog. I was not their personally (My mom did me the favor to take my dog) and have been trying to get in contact with the owners to get down to point on what happened but no one has reached out after leaving multiple messages with the staff. I would understand if they took my dog inside and by the end of the day they would of said he is not a good fit because of A, B and C reasons but they didn't even let him walk inside. I have taken my dog to Bark Social so many times and have never had anyone told me he is aggressive. I was so excited to have a daycare just a few minutes away from my house and I was happy with what they offered. I even did a tour with Marcos (He was so helpful through out the whole tour).
My fur baby gets excited when he see us approaching Central Bark! The workers are professional and courteous to me and loving to him. It’s in a great location and I’m glad it has outdoor and indoor spaces!
Quality Time has been caring for my pets while I’m away for over 10 years. It’s nice to get to vacation without worrying about my fur babies. Ella was my sitter for my most recent trip. She was awesome! She sent updates and photos each visit. My pets were happy and safe with Ella.
Toby is a long-haired Chihuahua and he is very difficult when getting his nails clipped.Quality time handled him with care and did a great job👍 …
Marie and the folks at Quality Time have been very helpful in caring for our creatures when we travel. They are thorough and responsive and truly seem to care for the pets in their charge.
Marie has a gold star company! I fully endorse Quality Time for their commitment to ensuring customers and fur babies are taken care of. Laura, our dog walker, exemplifies the highest standards and made sure both of my dogs were happy. Especially considering that one of my dogs is a bit slow to trust new people. She navigated that beautifully. I highly recommend Marie and Quality Time.
Quality Time pet sitting cared for my indoor and outdoor cats and were wonderful! I will certainly use them again. Marie and Rob are so friendly and care deeply about animals. My indoor cat is not usually social with people she does not know but Rob was able to become her friend! He was the best! I would highly recommended them.
Absolutely love Quality Time! I'm a former dog walker and this company meets and exceeds all my expectations! Making appointments is super easy and their price is reasonable. Ruth has been our pet sitter and I always feel comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She is a super warm person who I knows really cares about our little pets! My pets love her too - it's like a treat when they get to see her! She always leaves notes and will text if she needs anything! I'm super happy with their service and highly recommend them to anyone.
We hired Quality Time to take care of our retriever and cat. They offered a lot of other services, like watering plants, bringing in mail, etc. I appreciated the attention to detail for both animal care and the logistics for the house.
We love Quality Time! Marie is great to work with and we never have problems with the reservation or payment processes. Vickie has been caring for our cats for a few years now - including our diabetic cat - and she is fantastic! Even our cranky cat loves her, and she does a wonderful job caring for them and taking care of stuff around the house in our absence (getting the mail, opening and closing blinds, etc.). We couldn't be happier to recommend their services!
We’re thankful for the great team at Quality Time! From the most thorough introduction meeting I’ve ever experienced with a pet sitter, to great communication and superb attention to directions and details, we’re happy we chose Quality Time!
Quality time is made up of caring professional people. When I had need for a mid-day dog walk they were more than glad to cover that. When I had need for an evening visit they were there for me. They are bonded and insured and love working with pets.
I've had a great experience with Fetch Pet Care and regularly use them to care for my cats while I'm away. They are super responsive, reliable, and professional. Robin is my regular caregiver, and he loves the cats, sends me emails everyday to confirm he was there and give an update, so I am always sure they are cared for.
My experience thus far with Fetch! has been nothing short of excellent. Their customer service is always quick, flexible, and helpful! Their GPS tracking app shows where your dog was walked, updates you on their business and even allows the walker to send pictures. You never wonder if they cut your time short because all of the information is sent to you after every walk. The best part about this service is that I lucked out with my awesome dog walker Crystal. She has been so pleasant to work with, and she always puts up with my crazy dog mom requests. Thanks Fetch!
I've used Fetch twice now, and I've been very pleased thus far. It's SUPER easy to schedule. They are great communicators before, during and after the service provided. Care giver meets up to learn the ropes prior to the scheduled visits. It's nice that you can give them instructions (such as recycling or watering plants). When we arrived home from being gone for a week, it's like our cats didn't even notice we were gone. :/ Of course, they're cats. ;) Anyway, great peace of mind knowing they were cared for during our trip. I'd def use Fetch again.
After years of elaborate arrangements to take care of our pets, my neighbor told me about Fetch. Fetch is a godsend. They responded quickly and I was able to get the exact coverage I needed when I needed it. We have used the almost overnight and overnight options. I like that I got to meet our petsitter, Kylee, and that we can ask for her again (and again!). Our dogs are getting lots of walks and personal attention. Our sitter stays in close communication with us and sends lots of pictures, along with the more official emails from Fetch. Easy to reserve, great service. I love Fetch! We have already used them twice, and have scheduled a third. Our dogs are so happy to see our sitter and sad to see her go.
We love our pet care professional Cherry! She provides timiley updates when we are away and truely loves our dog Holden. Fetch is super easy to use and very responsive to our needs, even if it's last minute. I will continue to recommend their services to friends and family.
Veronica was amazing! When she came by to get the key the cats immediately liked her. She sent very detailed texts about the cats while I was gone and also sent photos. It was really nice and made me feel like my cats were in good hands. Also, when I got home I could tell they were still happy and relaxed (they act a little whacky if they don't get enough attention when I'm gone), so I could see that Veronica spent a lot of time with them. Everything was perfect. I would definitely use Fetch again, but unfortunately I'm moving soon.
Fetch! is extremely flexible and conveniant. Every staff member is friendly, helpful and efficient. This is one the best services I have ever received from any company. Last minute plans and need to cancel a walk at 11pm the night before? No problem. I literally got a response to my email and an updated invoice after 10minutes. Even if when our dog was injured and needed specific care the walker was more than happy to help. Just outstanding service all round.
Fetch! was not only amazing with my dog, they came to my rescue in a time of need very quickly! I was out of town and the original person who planned to take my dog out cancelled the day before. I had no one else to let my dog out and a few other companies were unwilling or unable to meet my request in such short notice. Not only did Fetch! come to my rescue and let out my dog, they sent an amazing person who was able to easily coax out my extremely shy old dog and then took her on a long walk and left her with a good scratch and a treat! I will absolutely be using Fetch! again and recommend to everyone!
Sophia provided our family with a great sense of relief. Our plans to travel during the holidays were cancelled at the last minute but we kept the service anyway. Our days were very hectic and it was wonderful to know that the pets had additional love, care, no feedings and fresh litter boxes overlooked during this busy time. Our dog Lucy was a big fan and would watch/wait for her at her scheduled arrival time. Two thumbs up!
Our cat is like a child to us, so making sure someone is taking great care of him is very important to us. It's very easy to book and they're extremely prompt at emailing me back when I have questions. Stephanie took excellent care of our cat, we couldn't be happier! No complaints!
Danny's Pet Care has been walking my dogs since I moved to Brookland in 2015. I cannot say enough about the personalized care and communication of my pets. Danny has always been great about accommodating changes to my schedule, and I appreciate them beyond what I can say in this review. I trust and rely on Danny's and highly recommend the service for your furry friends. Ten stars all the way!
Danny's Pet Care did an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats whenever we needed to be out of town! They were reliable, consistent, responsive, and comparably affordable. After several disappointing attempts to use Rover to find care for our pets, switching to Danny's Pet Care was such a great experience. 10/10 would recommend this service!
The team at Danny's Pet Care has taken wonderful care of our cat Solo for 11 years, and our second cat Chapati during the latter half of that time. Throughout, Kathy, Elise, and Danny have provided trusted care during our many frequent weekend trips and vacations. They are timely, accessible, and provide great updates on the cats to this obsessive cat mom. Easy to schedule, and responsive with communication. Totally trusted - they've had our keys since 2012. Highly recommend!
Danny walked our senior girl for her last year and he was very sweet with her. He's clearly very comfortable managing all sorts of dogs and combinations of dogs. It made me happy thinking her having a little social life with neighborhood doggies during the week. Danny was also extremely flexible and accommodating with my frequently changing schedule. When we get a new dog we will have Danny walk them too.
Elise is so wonderful with our kitties. It is amazing to know they are in good hands when we are out of town - she's a great communicator, incredibly sweet, and responsible!
Danny's Pet Care is wonderful! Elise has taken superb care of my cat as I've traveled for short and long trips over the past few years. Communication is superb and consistent and it is a huge relief knowing that my cat is in safe, responsible, and caring hands when I am away. I know he's getting plenty of brushing, treats, and play time in addition to basic food & water care.
We have been using Danny’s Pet Care for the last 4 years- they are amazing! We are very happy with the care they provide to our 2 dogs. The dogs love their regular daily dogwalker who also occasionally dog sits when we’re out of town- we trust him completely and know our dogs are in good hands! Danny is very responsive to any questions/requests and organized in his management. He also clearly cares for the well-being of his staff as much as for his clients. Highly recommend them for any pet care needs!
We used Danny’s pet services for our first dog +7yrs ago, and now more recently with our second dog! We trust him and his dog walkers completely, they are all wonderful people who have been helping us raise our dogs and treat them with care as is their very own.
We've been clients of Danny's Pet Care for almost three years. We are super happy with our walker who knows our dog really well and cares for him like he is her own. The walks are long and are great opportunities for socialization if your dog is up for that. Danny is always communicative about holidays and breaks and we're super pleased!
Danny is truly the best. He has been our cat sitter for a little over a year now and has been nothing but kind and easy to work with. He always goes above and beyond to make sure our cat has what he needs and any accidents have been taken care of. We cannot recommend Danny enough.
Kate's K9 has friendly and reliable dog walkers who really care for our pets. The dogs are always excited to see them at the door!
The best dog walkers in the DMV. My pup Winston looks forward to seeing the walkers. They ensure he has fresh water in his bowl and give him plenty of love and attention before securing him in our home. We are thankful for the services they provide our furbaby.
I absolutely love this company!! The first meet and greet, Kate and her colleague came to meet our puppy and go over in detail what was expected during her dog walks, training, habits etc. She also shadow her colleague on the first few days to make sure it was a smooth transition for our girl. We have been customers for almost a year now. 100% reliable, caring, pay attention to detail and my dog loves her caretakers! The best part is our work is both mental and physically tiring so to come home to a happy tired dog is worth every penny. They also communicate in detail with photos, map of their walk, what your dog did and a report card on the visit. A huge THANK YOU to our team Natasha and Steve! You are all amazing at what you do and so happy to have you on our care team for our dog!
We absolutely love Kates K9 pet service. All the dog walkers have been great and our dogs love them. The app makes it so easy to request a day and time, make payments and communicate. We love the photos we get after every walk and the update they send letting us know how the walk was. If your looking for a dependable dog walking service look no further they are great.
This is an awesome company. I would not want to trust my boys with anyone other than Kate’s K9.
I am really enjoying Kate's K9 Pet care service. I was very fortunate to find Kate online. Kate provide top quality service to my pet. She is very compassionate, and show great patience with my puppy. Kate visits has really made my puppy more adorable, and well behave. I strongly recommend Kate service to you, and you will be very satisfied with her care, dependability, loyalty and faithfulness.
Kate's Pet Care is without a doubt the best I have had in the area. She is so kind and my cat and dog love her. I never have to worry when I am away that they are not getting the best care or attention, and I always get lots of updates on her app about the visits. She offers a great value for what she provides. I tried other services like Becky's Pet Care and had a few really bad experiences. I have a dog, cat, and a fish tank, and she has taken care of all of them.
Kate and her crew are absolutely wonderful. Very reliable and accommodating; they do their research and are more than willing to give individualized special care for each pet. Travis was excellent taking care of my minipig while I was away, following instructions down to a tee and making sure she got everything she needed. I didn't have to worry one bit. The report cards are great so you know how your pet is doing during each visit.
I’ve been using Kate’s K9 services for a year and have been very pleased with their professionalism, genuine care for my dogs, and good communication in every visit. I highly recommend.
I found Kates pet sitting service after looking for a long time for someone to watch my pets. I have a dog who is very shy but super sweet and most people are scared of him, and won’t give him a chance. Kates team is super patient with him and it shows. They are very professional and I feel very comfortable leaving my pets with them which is hard for me cause they are my babies. I highly recommend them!!
District Pet Care is simply the best. Our vet recommended them, and we couldn’t be happier. Jackie and her team are great petsitters, and they have always gone above and beyond for us and our cat. When our baby arrived earlier than expected, for example, we texted Jackie from the hospital and she rearranged her schedule to take care of our cat even though it was a holiday. More recently, Henry arrived at our house while we were on vacation and found that the lock was sticking and he couldn’t get in. He finally got the door open after lots of effort and a trip home to get WD40. Without making a big deal about it, Henry spent hours of his time ensuring that our cat got fed, and he saved us lots of anxiety and an expensive locksmith call. Even when they’re not saving us from disasters, District Pet Care sitters do a great job—they are reliable, send pictures every day, and make sure our cat has everything he needs. Another great benefit is that Jackie has medical training and is able to administer shots and medications. She comes once a month to give our cat an injection, and she keeps track of the schedule for us and is so flexible and friendly. It’s always a joy to see her! In short, Jackie and her team are amazing. Your pet will be in the best hands if you hire them!
I adore District Pet Care. Catherine has been so amazing with my two cats and I love that she takes the time to sit with them and give them attention. She also sends detailed messages that reassure me while I am away. Thank you for treating my two girls with such care and love!
Jackie and her team are excellent! We have used District Pet Care two separate times and our kitties and fish were well taken care of! I love that we receive daily updates of and photos while we are away. It is such aa great relief to know that our pets are in great hands while we are away.
Jackie is very sweet and professional. She was flexible in terms of schedule and made me feel very comfortable leaving my two fur babies in her care. She also sends updates and pictures every time she visits, which is awesome. I will definitely use District Pet Care again whenever I go on my next vacation! It is nice to finally have a good pet sitter established!
When my usual cat sitter told me she was discontinuing her services, she recommended District Pet Care to me. I used them this past week and was impressed with the level of communication, photos of my babies, and care they received while I was away. The cats were fed, played with, and loved by Jackie, who cared for them. I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a professional cat or small animal sitter.
Jackie has taken care of my cat twice now, while I have been away for a week at a time. She does a great job! She is very professional and very good with my cat. There's no hiding under the bed when Jackie comes to visit! I love that I get photo updates and messages while I'm gone. I feel very comfortable trusting Jackie in my house and with my cat.
Thanks so much to Jackie for taking care of my two boys while I was on the other side of the country. I've always been nervous to leave them alone when I travel, but Jackie's consistent updates made me feel better. She also has a way with animals, as one of my cats never leaves his hiding spot for strangers, but on the second day he let Jackie pet him. I'll be using District Pet Care for as long as I live in DC.
We love our District Pet Care friends! Jackie and Samiksha and the entire team are warm and friendly and take amazing care of us!! They also take fun photos and send them to our Mom every day! We agree with our Mom that Jackie and the team are the best sitters ever - so take it from us, you want District Pet Care taking care of you like they do us! - Sam and Kevin
Very highly recommend Jackie! Super sweet and reliable. When we returned home everything was spotless and our cats were happy and relaxed. She provides daily updates with photos which is greatly appreciated, plus she brought up our mail and watered our plants. Felt completely comfortable leaving our home and pets in Jackie's care and will definitely be doing so again!
Jackie is wonderful. I can't say enough nice things about her, she took absolutely great care of my cat while I was away, and kept me updated each visit with pictures. It made for such a great vacation, there was no stress worrying if my cat was in good hands or not. I will definitely be using Jackie the next time I need a pet sitter.
My husband and I recently moved to the Navy Yard area with our 2 cats. We travel frequently, and finding someone new to care for them was a huge stress for us. We selected Saving Grace because of their reviews, and we have not been disappointed. We have used them on three separate occasions, and all three times, Paul Weiss was the caregiver. He leaves daily notes and will send photos if requested. Our most recent trip was two weeks long, and he watered our plants and freshened the litter box. We are so very happy with their service and highly recommend Saving Grace.
I've used Saving Grace Petcare for almost a year now to care for my cat while I'm out of town. They truly are a saving grace! I don't know what I would do without a neighborhood petsitting group like this one. Very easy to drop off my keys before leaving town and they take care of everything. Very attentive staff as well -- I always receive cute photos and updates on how my cat is doing. They really pay attention to the notes in my account on how to feed/care for my lil guy, and I never come home to a messy litter box. Thank you, Saving Grace Petcare!
We have had wonderful experiences with Saving Grace dogwalking and boarding services. Our dogwalker, Selena, is the best! She is very reliable and leaves us notes each day to let us know how the walk was. She was especially wonderful in working with us on special requests when our senior dog was quite ill. We now have a young dog and she is very patient as he learns his puppy manners! Saving Grace has also been a great service for pet-sitting, even over longer holiday trips! Our pets have always been very well-cared for with SG services! Highly recommend if you have pets in the Capitol Hill area!
I've used Saving Grace for cat sitting for at least the last three years. It's almost always the same woman who comes and visits, and my normally shy tuxedo has developed quite a fondness for her. Great service, can't recommend enough.
Tisha and her team are simply the best if you live in this neighborhood. I have worked with a few of the different petsitters in the past 18 months and have always been impressed--each one is a devoted animal lover, and treated my (loud, nosy, and often difficult) cat as their own. I cannot say enough good things about Saving Grace!
Really easy, web-based services that are perfect for helping busy people arrange pet care. I got daily updates with photos letting me know how my pet was doing while I traveled, and the pet sitter, Nancy, did an awesome job making the effort to connect with my pet and keep me in the loop. Highly recommended!
I am providing this rating because of Buster's dog walker - Aaron. He is the best! He takes extra time with Buster, he carries him down the block to ensure that he gets a walk rather than taking him out and bringing him right back in. We are fortunate to have Aaron as Buster's walker!
I've been using saving grace for two years now and have never had an issue. The staff are friendly and always leave a helpful note with a summary of the walk. I would recommend them to anyone.
DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR MONEY. The owner Grace is some gross right winger living in the 1950s. She didn't respect my pronouns and mocked instead, saying she "doesn't care".
Saving Grace is fantastic, consistent visits to ensure our kitty is well gives us peace of mind.
I have to start by saying that my puppy really loved this place. I was so excited to have finally found a daycare home for him. Unfortunately, it was short lived. The first instance of difficulty we had was the employees didn’t know how to start my membership, so it was a real headache. I was wrongfully charged a couple times too. Then, my leash was given away to someone else and while that’s annoying, it’s a human error so we wanted to offer grace. my wife and I were super thankful because the fixed both issues!! They bought a new Kong leash AND harness to replace it, and we were given I think $150 credit to use for the errors in charges. I used the credit initially to see if we wanted to move forward with membership given everything, and unfortunately it still went a bit left. I drop my puppy off with food daily, and that day I sent lunch and dinner because we had a late work day. I picked him up after more than 11 hours there and they gave him NO FOOD the whole day. Gave his bag back to me full of his food. Even worse, Farmers dog is fresh food and it’s very expensive, so when I realized as I got settled that his lunchbox was still full of two portions of food, I was highly disappointed. My dog is a puppy, so food is super important right now for his development, especially in a high activity environment. I wouldn’t discourage anyone from this place because they really are sweet. But they lack certain routine structure that checks and balances where humans may cause errors. I won’t be a customer again because it was all too much for me, but I do hope the tighten those loose ends. We take our pup to DoozyDog now and it’s A M A Z I N G. Check em out if you want a more well rounded option! Atlas doghouse also doesn’t have a bath service like DoozyDog, so your dog will definitely come home smelling of urine and whatever else unless you bathe him yourself daily. Best of luck to atlas nonetheless.
Atlas just recently opened it's location at my building in Navy Yard and it is the best place EVER!!! To see all of the pups daily is a dream come true, it's impossible to not want to walk in and play with them constantly! They are the best addition to our community and I'm so happy to have them here with us!!
We LOVE bringing our dog here! She always has so much fun when she knows she will spend the day here. The staff absolutely adore our dog and she feels the same way. We joke that she likes the staff, especially the woman who greets her in the morning, more than us. They are great for boarding or daycare, because you know they will do a good job taking care of your pup!
I reached out to Atlas for their one on one training services. Prior to I had gone through a few trainers and I did not want to sign up for those super expensive one time training sessions with no guarantee. Thomas was a miracle worker honestly. Benny went from a sweet fluffy 15 pound puppy to a 60 pound 6 month terror! Was just unmanageable and overwhelming to deal with outside our home. In the house, he was the sweetest dog. We kept trying our previous trainer’s method and it was just not working to modify his behavior at all. I was pretty frustrated and super stressed taking him outside for walks. Everyone in the building was scared of him, it was just generally not a good time in our home lol. Thomas sat down and explained everything for the first 30min, and then we went on a walk. I can honestly say I watched my dog transform. It was such a weight off my shoulder, within an hour he was more manageable, well behaved, and calm. Then I would walk him and Thomas would give me pointers. Thomas made it VERY clear this was a one and done training session, not an on going saga of just handing over your money. He trained you and showed you the tools he uses. You are expected to do the work after that. He does offer follow up sessions if you are having specific problems. Which we did! He was great following up to see how things have progressed and when I had an issue he came right back, which I appreciated alot! I can honestly say Benny is a new dog and I feel much more in control and confident about handling him. Ive recommended Thomas to strangers on the street who have the same look I had when my dog was barking, lunging, pulling and not listening.
You can trust Atlas Doghouse with your pup and the guidance they give. I was on the brink of having to return my rescue and needed to board him until I could finalize the arrangements. A 30 minute conversation with the owner, Danny, and his counsel put me on the path to keep my new family member, Buddy. Since that day in 2018, Buddy and I have grown and learned together and Atlas is with us every step of the way.
We've been sending our dog to daycare, boarding or even using their dog walking services since she was 6 months old. She's 5 now for context. When I first called I said that she wasn't the best with strangers or other dogs and Danny said, "she's a puppy, I'm not worried at all." When I tell you that Atlas is her favorite place, I couldn't mean it more. From a treat every morning from Nicolle to the best belly runs from Stephanie every night. Our girl loves it at Atlas. She still hates most people and doesn't get along with other dogs at dog parks but Atlas is a place that I've always been able to trust with our reactive dog and I have absolutely no idea what we'd do without them. Rest easy sending your pups here, they really know how to make them happy and keep them safe at the same time.
I have used Atlas Doghouse for training, walking, boarding, and daycare. Ruby was a wild woman who wouldn’t listen to the training methods that worked on all my other dogs, so I sent her to Danny and now she is a very well behaved young lady. Prior to the pandemic, I used Atlas for walking. Ruby absolutely loved Marcus and all my neighbors would tell me what a good job he did with her. Ruby now lives for going to daycare! She actually gets depressed if I don’t send her enough. She is well taken care of even with all her food allergies so I never have to worry. Can’t say enough good things about this place and everyone who works there!
We have been using Atlas for over five years and there are not enough good words to describe the professionalism, experience, thoroughness, and overall friendliness we've experienced at their primary H St location as well as their new Capitol Hill location. Our dog loves each and every staff member and (sometimes frustratingly) is so well-behaved with all of them. Aside from the wonderful daycare and boarding experiences, Roxy will run up to their walkers on the street while we're on our own walks to greet them; they've alerted us a cut on her eye that we didn't see and helped treat it; they kept her separate and comfortable from other dogs when she suddenly got sick until we could return; they watched her with absolutely no notice for a week when we had to rush to the hospital for an early labor delivery; and these are just the extraordinary moments that stand out among the "routine" care we receive.
My eight-month-old Spinone had only ever done daycare in small settings via Rover, and Atlas was the first place where she’d ever gone to big girl daycare. The folks at Atlas were both patient with my neuroses (no, youuuuuu called them multiple times to inquire after your dog’s emotional well-being and the composition of her friend group) and accommodating to my little Birdie. She boarded for an evening a couple weeks later, and came home tuckered out and blissful. The staff clearly loves dogs and they keep a close eye on your pups! Her first day at daycare, Birdie approached a dog who wasn’t into her affections. They separated them, told me about it when I rang to check in, and appear to have been proactive at the first sign that the other dog wasn’t in the mood. The fact that they group dogs based on play style and energy levels rather than temperament is also a huge plus, as I have a gentle giant who prefers a small dog friend. The only drawbacks: No camera feed! I would also love it if they adopted a District Dogs-style approach of composing a report card with pictures. Neither of these things makes me want to take Birdie somewhere that isn’t Atlas, though— that’s saying something from this helicopter dog parent!
Update: I wanted to add info on their training services with Thomas. I needed help getting my dog to walk without trying to lunge towards every other dog on the sidewalk, and I met with Thomas. It was really remarkable how fast my dog responded to his methods! I previously was using methods from another trainer and they just weren't working, but Thomas does things differently. It's more of a holistic approach that makes a lot of sense intuitively, and I really think I'm well set up for success now. I completely recommend him and will be returning to him whenever I need more help with my energetic young pup! Atlas Doghouse is really helping my new rescue dog build her social skills! She went in for her evaluation for daycare, and they gave me a nice detailed update with pictures halfway through her day, and I got more helpful feedback when I picked her up. She was shy that first time, but bust out of her shell the next time, and the plan is to keep going every week so she can work on her socialization. My training can only do so much, so interacting with other dogs is filling in that missing piece. I have full confidence in the staff to watch over her and the other dogs, so I'm not worried about her while she's there. This is going to be a great boarding option now too since I know she enjoys going. I'm grateful for Atlas!
took my dog here for boarding for two nights and at first I thought my dog was in good hands but that was wrong. We started to notice that his paws are scrapped up and it hurts him to walk and also one of his legs are swollen. I am not sure what type of playground they have them on but they need to do better because there is no reason why his paws should be scraped up along with a swollen leg.
I bring my two large dogs here, mostly for boarding but occasionally for daycare. As soon as we are a few blocks away, the dogs start barking in excitement and leap out of the car. I always get nervous about boarding my dogs but they like it so much I feel safe leaving them here. Plus the staff always remembers them, even if it has been a while. Recommend!
I can not say enough great things about this location. The staff is so loving and patient. I have a chow chow and was so happy that she passed her evaluation. She enjoys going their for play time and her own vacations. I feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby in their care. I wish I found them soonerwhen I had 2 Doggies. My other dog would have been in love with the monitored playtime. It really makes me feel good that all dogs are evaluated and placed in the appropriate size and energy group for play time.
Been going for over 15 years with multiple dogs and have always been excellent… open boarding is a plus ….large indoor and outdoor play area.. friendly staff
This is where we board our 3 dogs when we go out of town. They are great with the dogs. The staff are professional, sweet and caring with the dogs. They do partial day, full day, overnights. They do grooming, nails, and bath. They manage food and medicines well. The longest we have left our dogs there was 2 weeks. The dogs were happy and healthy (and clean!) they’re in a warehouse so they have indoor and outdoor spaces. I highly recommend them.
I love All Dogs Club! They offer excellent day care and siesta packages (mid day only day care). We’ve boarded our dog here too and upgraded with a bath. Sometimes our dog comes back a little damp, but she hates the blow dryer so we get it. All in all, amazing service! Can’t wait to see the lobby one day!
I have been coming to All Dogs Club for 20 years. Sasha,RIP, loved coming there. The staff was excellent. I really do miss the limousine service and wish they would bring this back. My current dog, Duma, has the same experience. Duma was traumatized at a groomer and became difficult with others cutting his nails. Will was able to work with him and now everyone can cut his nails. I read some of the reviews and they seem inaccurate. The place is clean and the staff like Will, April, and Marta are caring employees. I was concerned when the managment changed, but I habe not had any major issues. The person who said her dog got Kennel cough, should not blame the facility. They are serious about dogs having all their shots. They turned Duma down 2 weeks ago because his bortello shot expired by one day and had a vet appointment the following day. I was annoyed because I called Marta a few weeks prior to let her know that he had an appointment that weekend, but they did not allow him to come in. Nonetheless, I am one of the few customers who have a long relationship with All Dogs Club and can guarantee a safe place for your dog.
I really wanted to like this place. The owner is hands on and always present. Unfortunately, first impressions leave much to be desired. The second you walk in to the reception area, you are greeted to the pungent odor of urine. While that should have been a red flag, I still wanted to at least give them a try. I dropped my dog off for one day of daycare and when I came to pick him up and drive home with him, he reeked so badly of urine that I could hardly breathe. It's safe to say the ride home was unpleasant. They do offer bathing services but they are expensive and I do not want to bathe him every time I take him to daycare. I have been to other daycare places where the area is clean, the building smells clean, and my dog comes home clean. This place is really convenient when it comes to location if you work/go to school in the College Park area. However, its really not worth the amount of cleanup and smell you have to endure in order to make the convenience worthwhile. UPDATE: One of the staff called me today to let me know that the day I brought my dog they were having an issue filtering out the smell and because of that it was hard to get him from smelling. I appreciate them reaching out, however, I am still not sure if I would return. I do appreciate the gesture and am therefore raising my rating from 1 star to 3.
All Dogs Club day is my pup’s favorite day of the week. As soon as he realizes we are heading there he can’t contain his excitement. I can’t say the word “daycare” at home cause he gets so excited. The people are caring and flexible. It’s obvious they love my dog as much as he loves them! He always comes home happy and exhausted.
My dog was booked last minute on a holiday weekend. It worked out well for us. I gave my dog a bath and she is very tired! Update/Edit: After about 24 hrs we realized my boarded dog got kennel cough. They casually mentioned she was coughing when we picked her up. Then immediately she gave it to our other dog. Our first time dealing with kennel cough so now we know to keep them separated. Which then went into a spiral of just horrible symptoms for two weeks (diarrhea, coughing, bloody stools) so much we had a extremely expensive vet bill for two dogs. So overall if you need a last minute book you could try it but I'm not going to risk it again. If my dog was not sick before and came back sick then I naturally just assume the kennel wasn't separating sick dogs or refusing them.
