Lauren was a phenomenal dog sitter. She was easy and reliable to communicate with, she thoroughly read the house manual and asked any questions she had. She was competent and thorough about my dogs medication schedule. She sent frequent pictures and updates so I had peace of mind that my pups were in good hands. My neighbor even commented on how great she seemed with the pups. She left the place extremely clean, and even left a note and some flowers! I would highly recommend Lauren to care for your home and pets.
I noticed that the 2 previous pet sitters did not leave any reviews so I will add my review for future pet sitters. Charlotte and her husband's home is very spacious and well kept. I had access to the 1st floor, basement (cats space) and the airbnb (sitters sleep space). This house/pet sit had highs and lows for me. I met with Charlotte and Joris a few hours before their departure. They were very friendly. Because Simba is an 8 month old puppy I felt Charlotte kept trying to add on duties that were not agreed upon during our previous communications. Since I had no major sightseeing plans for the week I just went along with the last minute 3hr away limit. She reminded me of the occasional pet parent who treats sitters like unpaid employees rather than a mutual exchange of services. Sometimes hiring a paid sitter is a better fit when one expects dog training along with little to no personal time. Simba is a sweet dog with a great temperament. Easy to get along with but still has a ways to go with his social training. He adheres to his schedule very well. He did chew my main pair of prescription eyeglasses. Charlotte and I agreed on a 50/50 split for replacement pair with no problem. It was easily settled. The fireplace in the living room is a nice touch but unless you're willing to log into your own streaming apps there is not much incentive to watch the TV there. The cats Mario and Daisy were a breeze to care for. They have a very nice set up in the basement (indoor/outdoor). Occasionally Mario will hang out on the 1 floor when he wants some human time. The low point for me was finding out the morning of my first full day that there was a large dried pee/urine stain you could smell on the beautiful fur blanket and see/smell on the light color comforter underneath. Since the obvious dry appearance and the fact that Simba had not been in the airbnb since my arrival, it was an old stain. I had to strip and wash all bedding. The fur blanket was unusable. The comforter still had slight urine smell after washing(so I did not feel comfortable using it). Like most people would agree this (and the cronically clogged shower) made my stay in the airbnb very disappointing. Hopefully these were just an unfortunate set of circumstances that future sitters would never have to deal with.
Highly recommend this sit. Communication with Ashley was excellent. Otto warmed up to us and was so fun to play with. Location at The Wharf and gorgeous apartment made this the perfect sit!
This was a wonderful sit. Blakey & Lily were very chilled, friendly & well behaved dogs. We took them on some lovely walks along the canal and Elam woods and it was a pleasure to walk them. No barking, no pulling. The people around the area were friendly and helpful. Lots of lovely places to see around the area. Cliff Castle Museum was one of my favourites. The accommodation was very comfortable, charming and loved the amazing view of so much green, the canal, a view with character. We enjoyed sitting on patio area enjoying the lovely garden. Siya and family were very welcoming and gave us good clear instructions and information on pet routine and operation of house and places to visit. We also like the families eco friendly home and caring about the environment. I would highly recommend this pet sit to other pet/house sitters
Had the nicest time looking after Rosa! She was so affectionate and easy to care for and Marcia’s house was lovely
I loved loved loved everything about this sit. Godrick is literally the sweetest cat on the entire planet. Cuddling & purring 24/7, super easy going, also giving him his “mush” was pretty easy. I wish I could kidnapp him!!!!! Caleb is also the nicest guy, extremely organized, has a beautiful place in Berlin with literally anything you need and responds within seconds to any questions. I’ve done a bunch of sits already but this one really felt like a home. The apartment is located in a super save and pretty part of Berlin with anything you need within 5 min of walking. For real you can even see the supermarket from the balcony. All in all I would do the sit again in a heartbeat (actually will do, already agreed to the next sit!m and can’t wait)
The Silvers were great, generous hosts! Their animals were so personable, too. Mallory, the parrot, was the most interesting. I've never cared for a parrot before. Lilly was the ever present dog and I enjoyed Harper Mae even though she was only in the house for a week before being adopted. The cats were something else! Clementine, the wanderer. Carl Sagan the foster cat was my favorite. By the end of my two weeks, one of the elusive cats had warmed up and actually wanted to sleep with me instead of disappearing like lightening. The Silvers home was comfortable and I had a good experience all the way around. I'm glad I could be helpful so that they could go to Paris.

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
Siria has worked as a vet technician for a long time and it shows. She is so sweet with both dogs and cats and she is so thoughtful about their needs and knows exactly how to tend to the complex pets that require medications and a lot of love. She is so easy to work with and communicate with. She is fantastic at what she does and I will always use her as my first go to for watching my pets!
I believe that I was her very first client after searching several reviews and was very happy to have Siria to walk by Collie Gabby. She watched over her and would make me aware of any health concerns that she noticed. Unfortunately after 3 1/2 years, she passed away. Both had a strong bond and love for each other and she even took time off work to see Gabby the day she crossed the rainbow bridge. Highly recommend her!
I was very hesitant leaving my baby kai with a sitter as he’s always been with family. When I found Siria’s information as a sitter, I felt at ease that she was closer to my home. She provided any information requested to ease my stresses and make me feel comfortable leaving kai with her while I was away. She accommodated the drop off and pick up times with my schedule. She provided pictures and open communication during Kai’s stay to help me stay at ease. She treated him like he was her own and understood his little quirks. He enjoyed his time with her as she shows him so much love and care. I recommend Siria and will definitely use her services again for future needs.
Siria went above and beyond for my pups! It’s been difficult to find a reliable sitter and I’m so happy to know after the pups most recent visit with Siria we will be going to Siria moving forward. Great for small dog owners looking for somebody with experience and a passion for small dogs. Thank you again Siria!
Siria did an amazing job! Firstly, I’m writing this review on behalf of my mother whose cat Siria took amazing care of during a family trip. She was in constant communication with us and was even there to support my mom when she had to put one of her two cats down right before the planned trip. Siria showed up on time, stayed the entire time and sent lots of pics and updates. My mom Nancy is hard to please especially when her fur baby is concerned but she was at ease the entire trip. So on behalf of my mom, her cat Salem, and the rest of the family in the trip we could not be happier with the service and are definitely planning to use her again!
Siria took care of my high maintenance shih tzu for a long weekend. She did a great job. Gave meds and special meals on time and took her on walks as required. I knew she was well cared for safe. Siria is always relaxed, courteous, and professional.
Siria's services were exceptional. She was accommodating to my schedule and very professional. It was clear she loves dogs. When my Beau sees her at the vet clinic, he runs up to her and stands and jumps on his hind legs. Her fee is very reasonable. I highly recommend her.
I am so happy with the care my dog received from Siria! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew she was in great hands. Siria's warm and loving approach immediately put both my dog and me at ease. She provided regular updates and adorable photos throughout his stay, showing how much fun she was having. It's clear that she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. When I picked her up, she was happy, healthy, and full of energy! I highly recommend Siria's pet services to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry friends!
Couple of years ago, it was first time to leave our dog with a sitter. I searched and asked friends and families to find a sitter for Vasili and found Siria. She provided all information and made us feel comfortable leaving Vasili. She provided pictures of our dog when we were away and we lived with our dog long enough understanding he’s enjoying living with Siria. Siria kept him couple of times so far and we are so happy to leave our dog with her. I recommend Siria to anyone.
Siria has taken care of our numerous pets on several occasions. She even braved a storm to make sure our funnies were taken care of. Her experience working with animals is invaluable, and ours enjoyed her care and attention.
We have 3 chihuahuas who do not board or attend doggy daycare on a regular basis so they are a little shy to warming up. Tracy and Joe treated them like one of their own and took great care of them while we were on vacation. Tracy did a home visit first to get to know them, then our dogs went to her home for a few hours the week before we left town. Tracy communicated with us and even sent pictures while we were gone. We didn't have to worry at all knowing they were safe and sound. We will definitely return when we need boarding services again!
Tracy and her team have looked after our cats on several occasions over the past two years. We could not be happier with the level of care, dedication and love our pets receive from her and her staff. They truly go above and beyond and have exceeded our expectations on every occasion. We always look forward to receiving the daily pics, and love the detailed check-in info after every visit. There is no one I would trust more to look after our cats while we’re away. We highly recommend We Let the Dogs Out 4 You for all your pet sitting needs!
Bottom line up front: If you’re searching for an exceptional pet care company that truly goes above and beyond, you’ve found them! A couple of year ago our cat was diagnosed as diabetic and requires insulin twice daily. My wife and I have gotten good at it but it has been daunting to find anyone who is able to provide care for our furry friend when we travel. We Let the Dogs Out 4 You has proven to be an absolute gem. Their evident passion for animals shines through in the attentive care they provide, their rates are reasonable, they’re timely and responsible. I was extremely impressed that not only were they able to administer the necessary insulin injections for my cat twice a day, but also established a bond with him over the course of our travel. Each visit after meeting our cats’ daily needs, Tracy would provide random acts of kindness like leaving toys or putting light music on for him. It's reassuring to know that my pet's health needs are being met with such precision and care. One of the standout features of We Let the Dogs Out 4 You is their meticulous daily reporting. Their attention to detail in these reports speaks volumes about their commitment to the well-being of each and every animal they care for. The convenience of their user-friendly app for communication is also a game-changer. Being able to receive updates, photos, and communicate with the caregivers easily has provided a level of comfort and transparency that's hard to find elsewhere. I wholeheartedly recommend We Let the Dogs Out 4 You to all pet owners seeking a company that not only loves animals but also excels in providing top-notch, personalized care. Jason M
Tracy and her husband are absolutely amazing. She has helped us through long trips and last minute requests and is always willing to help! Our dogs adore her as well and they are pretty picky with people! Tracy sends pictures and updates throughout their stay that leave a sense of peace knowing your babies are in a loving space. What I love most is they aren’t boarded in cages for our entire time away. They are given cuddles, long walks and a home to be in while we are away. We have also used Tracy for walks throughout the day and poop scoop services for our yard and we have always had great experiences with that as well. I have referred multiple people to Tracy and they have all raved over how amazing she is. I am so happy that we found Tracy and never have to stress about where our pups will go while we are away or if they will be well taken care of!
We adopted a puppy back in the spring and were very nervous to leave him with anyone but I saw numerous recommendations for Tracy and decided to use her boarding services. She and her husband have taken amazing care of our pup and she is wonderful about communicating with me and sending pics the entire time. They truly love animals and are extremely dedicated to what they do. Recommend this business 100%!
Tracy and Jaime did an amazing job with my pups. The quality of care they did for them and my cats were none like I've ever seen. They also gave me updated details with every visit including pictures - which I loved and looked forward to :-) They are very professional and caring. They put my mind at ease when I had to go out of town. They were also very understanding if my dogs had any accidents in the house. I highly recommend them !!
We have a nervous little dog but he is always ok going to We Let the Dogs Out 4 You, LLC. He knows he will be well loved there and we know it too. Tracy always sends us pics while we are away to show he is happy! The owner always responds quickly when I ask to get coverage for our pup! She is very friendly and knows my dogs little quirks. We have taken him to other places after our last dog sitter moved. This was the most affordable with the most personal care! I highly recommend this place for your fur babies!
We Let the Dogs out 4 you has taken care of my two dogs for all our summer trips this year. This is the first time I have been able to go on vacation and not have to worry or check up on the pups while we are gone. They sent me pictures and an update for every visit. When we got home the dogs were happy and relaxed and you could tell they had a great time while we were away. Thanks to Cindy, Tracy, Patti and Jaime for all the extra love you showed Phinn and Pippa!
Tracy and Jaime are fantastic and truly care for our pets. Our handsome Asher spent a couple of days with Tracy for in-home boarding while I helped my daughter move back from college and I loved the updates and pictures she sent...he truly enjoyed his stay there. Due to an issue with the move, we had to spend an extra night away resulting in Asher staying with her a little longer and Tracy was understanding and helpful. Additionally, I asked for a quick check on our kitties since one night away turned into two and she easily took care of us. Jaime, who usually walks Asher for us during the week, came over to check on the kitties and sent a great update with pictures. I highly recommend WLTDO4Y and so thankful for their outstanding service, compassion and love of pets, and all around fantastic ladies.
I’ve had a great experience w/WE LET THE DOGS OUT 4 YOU. Tracy came by to meet my new puppy, Benji, about 3 yrs ago. I knew right away she was a responsible & caring person. Before meeting Tracy, my husband & I scheduled a vacation & hired someone to stay w/Benji for 5 days but after just 1 night of being away, she called & told us she couldn’t stay the duration. She abandoned him leaving us desperate for a rescue sitter. Feeling helpless being so far away while Benji was by himself, I called Tracy. She graciously went to my house, packed Benji & his things & took him home with her. After he was settled in she sent text messages, updates & photos of Benji being well taken care of. It was so comforting knowing he was safe. I can’t tell you how relieved we were. We were able to relax & enjoy the rest of our vacation w/confidence & w/out the anxiety. Benji was in good hands. Since that time, Tracy and Jaime have been walking Benji during the day while I’m at work. They’re extremely reliable but most of all trustworthy. I love being at work and getting an email w/photos and updates of Jaime’s visits with Benji. Benji not only looks forward to his visits with Jaime, but he expects them. And ... their scheduling/invoicing/messaging portal is user friendly and super convenient. I highly recommend WeLetTheDogsOut4You!
My babies Sam and Sadie were well taken care of when I had someone cancel watching them for me and I needed someone to watch them within a week of us leaving for our trip! Meg was responsive and eager to help me out. She met with them to see if they were a good fit and we agreed on that visit that she could sit my 2 dogs. I was nervous to leave them however, Meg sent me photos every visit and gave me updates each visit. Also, our flight was delayed when we were scheduled to be home and I had to contact Meg spur of the moment to visit them again. When we arrived home our babies were well cared for and very happy!! There has been no signs of stress and they are doing very well since we have been back. I absolutely can’t wait to be able to use Meg’s loving care services again. They provide a wonderful service and put our minds at ease while we were away from home. Knowing that your pets are taking care of when you’re away is the best feeling ever!! I highly recommend everyone to try their services!
Absolutely loved having Meg watch our two pups. She was reliable and caring. She sent lots of updates and is easy to communicate with. Will definitely be using them again. Can’t say enough good things.
Meg's Loving Pet Care is the only team I'd trust to watch my beloved companions when I'm away. They really get to know your pets (and I only go away a couple times a year), but they get to know the pets they watch and they will pick up on my changes to my pets routine. They will notify me if the house feels a little warm and adjust the thermostat or shades at my request. They bring in the mail with no added charge. I've never needed one of my pets to get vet care while I was away, but I know if one of my animals was not well, they would be quick to inform me and get them adequate care. I use the Sure Petcare feeding system (it's fancy and tells me when and how much each cat has eaten) so I can monitor when I'm away. There was a glitch in the system last time I was gone and Meg got on the phone with me while at my house and troubleshooted with me until we got it working again. Meg and her crew always go above and beyond. I can't recommend them enough. They are wonderful! And they send pictures of my animals every day I'm away. I love seeing their faces while I'm gone. Meg always delivers 100%
Megan and her employee Meg fit us in on very short notice while I was sitting for my granddog. Megan responded right away when I inquired on the website and came to my houses just a few days later with Meg to meet Sophie. Meg took wonderful care of Sophie with walks and rub downs. They were flexible with my schedule and it was a great relief knowing Sophie was so well cared for. Can't recommend this group enough! Do not hesitate to use them!
Meg is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our kitties. We got an excellent first impression when we met her. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets. She contacted us with pertinent questions in a timely manner, which was exactly what we expected. When we came home after our week away our cats were healthy, all medications had been given, and (most importantly to us) they were safe. During our time away Meg sent us photos of our babies having fun which was really nice 🙂. We look forward to booking Meg again in the future. Thanks for doing such a great job!
I have had 4 different walking companies over the past several years and Meg’s Loving Petcare is by far the best one I’ve had. They are structured and very consistent. They are also flexible when I need them to be. And I truly believe they care deeply about my furry baby. They send pictures of her everyday and my baby always looks happy which means everything to me! Thank you Meg and team for all that you do. I am a forever grateful customer!
I have been so happy with the care we have received from Kandi at Meg's Loving Pet Care! She loves my Poppy as much as I do and makes sure she is active and happy! I would recommend Meg's to anyone who needs help in caring for your pet!
We just LOVE Meg’s Loving Pet Care! They are professional, set you and your pup up with the ideal dog walker. Very organized with their scheduling and invoicing. Our dog Caddie just loves her dog walker, Kandi! She was a lifesaver when I went back to work after maternity leave. Caddie looks forward to her mid day walks and adventures!
If you’re looking for trustworthy people to take care of your pets while you’re gone then you’ve found the right place! I highly recommend Meg’s Loving Pet Care! I’m so grateful I found them. My dog, Ford, is pretty shy so I was nervous how he would react with someone new around. Meg and Ivy immediately put us at ease. Ivy provides our pet care and is absolutely wonderful!! She is reliable, easy to communicate with and sends me updates, pictures and videos during her visits. I always know Ford is in such great hands with Ivy. And he loves her too! Meg and her team will truly care for your pets and love them just as much as you do!
We are so lucky to have Meg and her gals in our lives! They take such good care of our aging pup Velvet, and she loves them so much! Meghan is an excellent communicator and has a great team. Velvet is our baby, and they are the only ones we trust to look after her when we are away from home!
I had a family emergency and had to drop my dog at daycare from Sunday September 8th in the AM to Wednesday 11th in the PM. I didn't notice when I picked her up as I was exhausted, and only noticed some low energy thinking she probably played a lot. At home is when I saw her right lip swollen and at closer inspection all the scratches around her nose. Her tail was also RAW and bleeding. I called and when I spoke to the manager she told me at closer inspection of the camera it seems she was approached by a great Dane, but she didn't elaborate. All she said was sorry and that it won't happen next time. She asked to send her pictures which I did and asked for accountability via email, and she is yet to reply. I had to take my dog to the veterinary, and place her in antibiotics for her lip and nose, ointment to keep her nose hydrated, and bandage for her tail to help it heal. At dogtopia I remember signing a document stating that if my dog assaulted another dog I would be liable for veterinary and medical cost so I don't understand why they're not making the owner of the great dane take care of this, instead I paid for negligent care and vet costs. It's safe to say I won't bring my dog back and understand now why this place is so slow. EDIT to reply: No you DID NOT communicate the FACE injuries which were more severe than the tail, I still have the message and picture you sent regarding her tail, you never mentioned the SCRATCHES on her face. Also when I called and spoken to the employee before she put me on hold to talk to the manager i heard her whisper "He knows" before the phone going mute. In our phone conversation you also mentioned a Great Dane, AND suggested having my dog with the small dogs to avoid the great dane. Now there is no great dane? Also my dog has stayed multiple times at your facility and the dogtopia in herndon, we've never had this "crate rub" issue before. And if it was what kind of crates do you have with sharp edges to scratch my dogs face like that?
I am deeply disappointed with my recent experience at Dogtopia of Manassas. I brought my healthy dog in for daycare, expecting him to be well-cared for. However, when I picked him up, I was shocked to find him unable to walk properly and covered in scratches. It's evident that my dog did not receive the proper care and supervision he needed during his stay. As a result, he has sustained injuries that were completely avoidable and unacceptable. I urge pet owners to reconsider using this daycare, as the safety and well-being of your pets may not be adequately ensured here.
It’s always a little nerve wracking leaving my dogs (8 and 10 year old dachshund mixes) but I felt a lot of relief after day care at Dogtopia went well. It’s smart that the team starts with temperament testing to ensure the dogs don’t have aggressive habits. My dogs do better in this “neutral territory” compared to being in someone else’s home so this is a perfect solution. We left town for a week and it was nice to be able to check the Ring camera in the Dogtopia app and see that our dogs were wagging their tails and socializing. I also received nice emails and texts during their stay offering extra activities to keep my dogs stimulated. 5/5 stars, can’t wait for my next trip. I know our dogs will be in good hands.
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the care provided to our dog during his stay from 07/03 to 07/06. We paid $400.00 for this service, only to have our dog returned to us with multiple injuries. His nose, head, and paw are all scratched and injured. I have attached photos for your reference. We were not informed of any incidents or injuries during his stay. Upon his return, our dog is now acting unusually, refusing to use the bathroom, and clearly in distress. This level of negligence and lack of communication is unacceptable. When I called to inquire about what happened, I was told that our dog was playing with another dog, slipped, and injured himself. Additionally, they mentioned his nose was scratched from the crate. The only response I received was a dismissive apology and a vague promise to be more transparent next time. This is not the level of care we expected or paid for. I strongly advise others to reconsider using your services if they wish to avoid their pets returning home sick and injured.
My dog was so happy there - I could see on the monitor. And the people were great too!
My girls love both the Manassas and Gainesville locations! The staff is great and all I have to say is “daycare” and they start hopping around like clowns with excitement! These photos are pics that the staff took and sent to me. They are so content!
The manager Melanie and staff are just amazing!! I love that I can watch my pup play with her doggy friends throughout the day. My Oakley enjoys daycare every time.
Dogtopia of Manassas is fantastic. Our puppy is about a year old and gets beyond excited when she sees us pulling into the parking lot. The staff is incredibly friendly, and seems to really care about taking care of our dog. The webcam service is fantastic to check in on your pup! Its a great way to let your pet get their energy out while you are at work! We look forward to many more visits!
I like the fact that every employee is inviting and loving toward myself and my pup. Everyone is always so excited to see Misty and has funny stories to share about her day. I really enjoy the little notes that are sent home.
Archie had a fabulous time and will be back soon.
Elisabeth does a very good job dog sitting. She is very knowledgeable in dogs and caring. Our dog, Hunter, who is a high energy border collie had a great time with her. She took him to the dog park alot so he can release all of that build up energy. I highly recommend her as your next local dog sitter!
They took good care of my dog for a week. Great Recommendation.
I found Ms. Dana and Mr. Timothy in April of 2020. We were looking for training for Holly and Jasper. After speaking with Ms. Dana we decided to take classes with them and use them for daycare. From the first time I meet them I knew I had found a forever place for our fur babies. They have a passion for what they do and care for our pups as if they are their own. I have boarded at large centers and never felt 100% comfortable but couldn't explain why. Now when we need to board I know our fur babies are being well cared for. Their training has been wonderful, my 62 pound Dalmatian doesn't walk me around the block she now walks beside me. They know all dog are different. They were able to help me with my needs for my Dalmatian as well as my miniature dachshund during classes.
Our two doodles love going to camp at Dana's. Daycare with people you can trust. AND they get a great workout.
Tim and Dana are awesome. My furbaby loves to go over for daycare and when I need boarding. My pup is always extremely tired from playing all day when she leaves from their place. I love that she gets to party until she passes out! I highly recommend them.
My grand doggie Albus has been going to dog school, doggie daycare and was boarded when we went on vacation. We know Dana and Timothy for a couple of years, Now I have a 4 month old pup Tucker and he has started doggie classes and been in doggie daycare. Both pups love it there! They don’t even look back when we drop them off! Dana and Timothy are fantastic! I know they love and care for all of the pups in their care. I love the videos and pictures they send and all the advice they give! I highly recommend them to everyone!
Words can’t not express how much we love Dana’s Dog Care. Ms. Dana and Mr. Timothy are fantastic! We didn’t want to leave our 10 month Cocker Spaniel at the vet for boarding again. We did for the first time and our baby seemed to be afraid and she was only at the vet for a day and a half. It broke my heart. I came across Dana’s Dog Care on google and boy, I was so glad. I emailed her and it took her no time to respond back to me. I was looking for a place where I can build a relationship to make sure our Bailey girl was in great hands if we ever needed day care or boarding. Dana and Timothy are VERY trustworthy, loving, honest, caring, provides fantastic care for your pets. She provides a home away from home. You can check on your baby at any point in time and she responds right back. Sends videos and pictures. Any questions you may have, Ms. Dana or Mr. Timothy puts your mind right at ease. I can’t thank God enough for blessing us with them. Hands down we will only have our Bailey girl go to Dana’s Dog Care going forward. They make you feel like you’re apart of their family! We even scheduled to have her go a few times for day care to keep her socializing and we are so excited to attend the Saturday Socials as well. Thank you Ms. Dana and Mr. Timothy for ALL you do! Paula Lee (Bailey thanks you too)
Dana and Timothy are the best! I know our big puppy is in the best hands when he is at Dana's. I am so excited and looking forward to attending training next month.
Dana does an excellent job caring for my dachshund, who is shy around other dogs. She shows love to all the dogs and is very organized in how she handle their care. We have no hesitation when we need to board him, even for long vacations.
We have been going Dana's for years. They were kind and did everything to make our dog feel comfortable while getting her nails done. One day when we went to introduce our new dogs as well, we were told they no longer take walk-ins for nails and to set an appointment. A few days later I called to set up an appointment and I was told that we do not need one and to just walk in, As we walked in there was a sign that said walk-ins are charged a different fee. We still took the dogs in and the attitude from staff was not the usual sweet disposition. I am very disappointed and will not be back, very heart crushing as I loved this place.
Our Scooter been going to Dana's & Tim for almost a year and he gets so excited when he knows he going. I am very Thankful for Dana's and Tim caring for our scooter and all the other friends they care for. What a Blessing you are to this community 😊 I am definitely recommending this place !!!! …
Amazing place and wonderful people! They take fantastic care of my fur baby! He had puppy training, obedience and now overnight boarding. He loves to visit Timothy the owner!
We are previous Waggin' Tails customers and have had great experiences at Bark + Boarding. Amy has been amazing and hosted a few events at our apartment community over the summer. I think the photo events are a cute idea, and we look forward to returning! We really like this facility because it is always clean, does not smell like other local competitors' facilities, and our dog always seems to be well taken care of. Keep doing what you're doing!
We truly appreciate and completely trust the amazingly wonderful staff as well as the entire boarding experience at Bark and Boarding in Manassas ❣️❣️🐶 From the warm friendliness and efficiency of the front desk, to the genuinely compassionate loving care and expertise of the staff giving the direct care to my 18.5 yr old little dachshund, the whole experience was totally above and beyond ❣️🐶 My sweet mini dachshund, Nugget, has multiple care issues and the tender caring staff gave the very best of loving care and attention to her 🐶❤️ We gratefully have the utmost confidence in the staff when we have to board her! We wouldn't board our fur baby anywhere else because of the trust and confidence we have developed in this Bark and Boarding staff ❣️
The staff are nice. But the one time we did overnight boarding, he came down with a wicked case of bordetella and a step infection.
Our puppy, Wally loves going to daycare. He loves all of his friends, human and animal.
Love this place and the staff, my dog loves it here! Definitely will recommend it to others.
Annie approved! Thanks!
Tails and Whiskers is a very reliable, organized, and professional company. Many fail safes were in place, in case of an emergency situation. I felt assured and informed each day of my vacation that my pets were being well cared for, with an attentive caretaker. They were well fed and watered; the litter boxes were clean and neat. They even gathered my mail inside. I highly recommend this service. I will use again with confidence.
I am thrilled to have found Tails and Whiskers! We had a sitter come visit our kitty boys for 10 days while we were out of town and we got daily updates and photos through an easy to use app. The company is well run and has the most loving people to care for your pets. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future needs!
Frankie and Terry are BOTH so amazing. Bruno can be a bit nervous with new people and Frankie was so patient with him. He loves his afternoon walks and it gives us such peace of mind knowing that he is card for!!
Frankie and her assistants are top-notch reliable, caring, observant, and professional. We have worked with many sitters through a lifetime of living with cats, and we can’t ask for better service or communication…trustworthy of our beloved friends.
Tails & Whiskers has been amazing for us and our dog, Roxy! Frankie and Liz go above and beyond to make sure Roxy is taken care of and we feel at ease. Roxy is very timid at first but they continue to work with her and help her adjust to them. They definitely know how to take care of every type of dog/animal. We have used Tails & Whiskers for overnight sitting and drop in visits and will continue to use them for as long as we can!
This was our first opportunity to use Tails & Whiskers Pet Sitting and it did not disappoint. From the initial meet and greet with Frankie, to the car Alexis gave our Bogey (cat), we felt we were in good hands. So glad we found them!!
We had never left our cats with anyone besides family— so I was nervous— however from the first contact I had with Frankie I was at ease. She even won over our super shy and anxious cat! She sent pictures of our cats almost everyday she watched them which really brightened our days, making it easier to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we got home it was obvious our cats had been very well taken care of. Frankie was very communicative and professional! Will definitely be using her business again!
I have been using Tails and Whiskers Pet Sitting for many years and would not dream of using anyone else to walk or sit for my dogs. I have recommended them to several friends and everyone has been extremely satisfied with their services. Frankie the owner has been wonderful with all my dogs through sickness and health. She caters to the needs of each individual pet and genuinely cares for them. She is very reliable and never hesitates to help me out at the last minute or adjust the schedule for me. My dogs adore her and I’m so glad I discovered Tails and Whiskers for my pets. I highly recommend you give her a call, you will be happy you did!
Tails & Whiskers Pet Sitting definitely deserves 5 stars! Frankie and her team are extremely reliable and cared for our two cats so very well while we were away. They really went out of their way to make sure our feline family members had everything they needed. Awesome service!! Absolutely recommend them!
We have been using Tails & Whiskers for over a year now for our pet sitting needs for our fat cat, Bear. The website is easy to use for booking and paying in advance for our reservations. Frankie is fantastic! She lets us know how Bear is doing each day via text and brushes him, which sends him into a purring drooling frenzy. She brings in the mail and will water plants/turn on sprinklers for us in addition to taking good care of our fatty. The litter box area is clean when we come home, which is more than I can say for other places we have used previously where litter had been tracked all over the house by the caretaker’s shoes. Coming home from a long trip to a cat litter mess was stressful and frustrating. I don’t have to do anything when I come home after Frankie has been here! Most of all I know Bear has someone who loves animals and is excited to see him. We have used other pet sitting services in the area and could tell that they did not spend any time with him. They would bring in the mail, feed him and leave. We want to make sure that his emotional well being is taken care of, so I can rest easy when we go out of town, knowing Tails & Whiskers is on the case! Highly recommend.
Cynthia does an amazing job! She pours so much love and energy into our dog, that when she arrives to take care of her--our dog goes crazy with excitement to see her!
Our experience with Fetch! Manassas has been fantastic. Andrea and Michelle take great care of our cats while we’re gone - checking in on the shy one, playing with the others, making sure they’re eating and doing well. We get a detailed report with photos after each visit and can tell that they’re genuinely interested in our pet’s well-being. It’s a great reassurance to know they’re in good hands while we’re away.
Our fur babies are well taken care of by our dog walker at Fetch. Ray gives them plenty of attention and loving care. I get photos and a map of their walk and a detail of the visit each time she comes over. We always have the same person so they’ve gotten used to her and are excited to see her come over! I always recommend Fetch to my friends and family when they need a pet service. It is perfect for our needs whether we just need a visit once on a Saturday when we take a day trip or multiple daily visits when we are on a 7 day vacation.
Fetch is my go to pet sitter for our cat when we travel. Their service has been exceptional, with great communication, an easy to use website for scheduling and billing, and they provide confirmation and photos after each visit. Highly recommended.
Every time I go out of town and need someone to watch my cat, I feel safe knowing Yoshi will be taken care of. I've used Fetch in a few different locations but the Manassas Branch is by far the most kind and caring group I've worked with. They make leaving my pet a lot less stressful.
We love Fetch! Our two dogs love their walks with Jordan. She’s always on time and we love the pictures she sends us on their walks.
They are very professional, and will take you when you have an emergency. Bery good value for the services they provide and give you a journal of every visit with your pet baby/babies!!! Love them. Everyone stay safe & God Bless! Sincerely, Wendy D Youngbloom
Diana was very great with my cat, they are affordable, and schedule times which is great for my older cat with fixed habits
The constant communication before and after the services were provided each day, was amazing!
Thank you Denise! We love caring for Blue ❤
