Dog Sitters in Woodbridge, VA

The staff is so friendly. I can tell the staff enjoys working there which in turn transfers to how well they take care of my pup. They are wonderful and my dog, Lilly, loves going to daycare. She is excited when I drop her off and tired when I pick her up (which is a good thing). They are diligent in ensuring the safety of the pups by enforcing the appropriate handler to dog ratio and ensuring vaccines are up to date. I highly recommend The Dog Eaze Inn for daycare. 10 Stars!

I cannot recommend Dog Eaze Inn highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease knowing my little dog was in such caring and professional hands. The staff is incredibly welcoming and genuinely loves animals, which shows in every interaction. The facility is spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with dogs' comfort and safety in mind. My pup especially enjoyed the supervised playtime with other dogs—it's clear that the team takes great care in matching pets with compatible playmates. What stood out the most was the personalized attention my dog received. The staff made sure to follow his feeding schedule and provided plenty of cuddles and TLC, which is so important for a smaller, more sensitive pup like mine. I also loved the updates I received while my dog was there. The photos and notes about his activities put my mind at ease and reassured me that he was having the best time. Dog Eaze Inn truly goes above and beyond to make both pets and their owners feel cared for. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving place for your dog, this is it. My little guy always comes home happy and tired from all the fun. Thank you, Dog Eaze Inn!

My dog is reactive and shy, but let me tell you... this place did a wonderful job working with my dog, Flaco, and getting him to not only open up but socialize with more than one person. They always take great care of him, and they were even able to give him a bath! Which is unheard of for my dog. I'd never thought it would be possible for him to even make friends, but I am grateful I found Dog Eaze Inn to not only treat my dog with love and care but to also have him open up. Thank you!!!!

Lola always loves staying at the Dog Eaze Inn. They always fuss all over her and make her feel loved & special! We love them! This last time her tail was wagging so hard when she saw where we were arriving to when we dropped her off! She couldn’t wait to see all her friends there (and meet lots of new ones!!!). When we picked her up, while she was happy to see us, she definitely was sad to go! Thanks, as always, to the staff there for taking such good care of our girl!

Dog Eaze Inn seems understaffed and unorganized. I have attempted to make boarding reservations on a couple occasions and reaching an employee was challenging. I had to play phone tag several times before reaching someone that could assist. I had scheduled a tour of the facility prior to finalizing reservations and was provided a time, only to show up and be told they didn’t have the staff available to accommodate the time they scheduled. There’s too many red flags regarding this business for me to entrust them with boarding my dog when they don’t seem capable of managing schedules or appropriately staffing enough personnel to assist customers and attend to the pets in their care. UPDATED REPLY(11/22/2024): Thank you for the explanation and I do understand the issue with limited personnel. Unfortunately, I believe that contributed to the communication problems as I tried to call to cancel my initial tour but there wasn’t an actual person to receive my call prior to your cut off time for tours. I called to reschedule at 3pm the next day. I was advised by your receptionist to arrive prior to 4:45pm. I explained I was on my way and arrived at 4:10pm, whereby she explained she could not accommodate me after telling me different just an hour ago. After driving an hour in traffic and then told otherwise is unacceptable. Also, I appreciate the booking information and completely understand being full, but my issue again is that prompt communication could have resolved the situation more amicably. If a situation were to occur whereby I needed to relay time sensitive information during boarding or daycare, I lack confidence in a timely response due to the communication shortfalls.

Nikko looked happy when we picked him up after 3 days and 3 nights. He seemed to have had a pleasant stay. The staff are very nice and caring.

I would personally stay there...lol...think I'd fit in a crate? I found everything very clean and different packages for boarding to meet your needs. We went with the middle one and when we picked our girl up, she was clean and happy. The Staff is totally awesome and even washed the containers we sent with Tootsie's food. I totally give them 5 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 and we will be back...Thank You! Tootsie is with our new rescue we adopted, so you'll get to meet her too!

The Dog Eaze does fantastic with handling reactive dogs. My dog does not play well with other dogs but every time I've boarded him here he was kept in his own private area to play and room to sleep. They make pick up and drop off safe for him by requesting visitors do not bring their dog into the office while other dogs are in there. He has also had many appointments for grooming and they have always been so quick and caring and I personally think the prices for this service for a Large Standard Poodle are very reasonable. We are moving away soon and I will miss having Dog Eaze just down the road. Thank you for all the love and care you have given to my dog throughout the years. I am so thankful for all of the employees who played, bathed, gave tuck ins, fed, and cuddled him while I was away.

I boarded my black Labrador at the Dog Eaze Inn for three nights. He was very calm when I picked him up. He ate his dry food and chewable Cosequin pill every night. I highly recommend The Dog Eaze Inn.

As always, great service. Staff is courteous and friendly and take great care of my dog. Highly recommend to board. Trimmed dog’s nails while there. Not much more to say except really great place.

Alex is the best doggie trainer and he treats my dog like family. I wanted to get her trained up as a puppy and he learned her mannerisms to understand her trouble areas. He offers group walk training in local neighborhoods or more crowded areas to help dogs get accustomed to noises people and other dogs. He also does one on one training and has helped watch my dog when I was on work trip. He's so good with her and he has his own dog, which is her new bestie.

Alex is fantastic with dogs. I have a German Shepard and Collie mix. My German Shepard had a bad habit of jumping on people and Alex was able to stop that behavior. He was very good in handling both my dogs. My Shepard has been with Alex since he was a pup and he’s very good with people and when he goes on his walks with other dogs. I highly recommend Commonwealth Pet Care for your training. Thanks Alex for all you do👍 Anne Marie Smith.

This is the long overdue review for Alex. I have been struggling with the reactivity of my three pomeranians for a long time. I had tried group classes, private lessons, and online resources, but I didn't see any significant changes. When I contacted Alex, he invited me to join the group walk where my girls could get exposure to other dogs and strangers. The group walk provides a controlled environment where they can learn appropriate behaviors and build their confidence. Alex is there to correct the inappropriate behaviors of dogs and educate us on how we can improve things. His method works, and I am already seeing improvements. The girls are not perfect yet, but they are on the right track. P.S. Not only Alex, but also the group is wonderful. They are very kind and understanding. Thank you everyone for being so nice to the girls.

If you are in search of a professional dog training service, we recommend Commonwealth Pet Care, LLC. Under the expert guidance of owner Alex Bonilla, our two-year-old Labrador Retriever, Charlie, has made significant progress. Charlie attends doggie daycare during the week, allowing him to socialize, but his excitement and unaltered status have led to some challenges, particularly with larger breeds. To manage and control his excitement, we reached out to Alex for assistance. From the beginning, Alex demonstrated a genuine care for Charlie, employing a calm and composed training style that is both effective and reassuring. His ability to connect with dogs is incredible, and it’s clear that he possesses an innate talent for training. With Alex's support, we have seen encouraging improvements in Charlie's behavior, making our experience with Commonwealth Pet Care truly invaluable. We highly recommend their services to any pet owner looking to enhance their dog's training and behavior.

I can’t recommend Commonwealth Pet Care enough! I’ve worked with Alex over the past several months training my puppy, Willow. He is patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. He provides immediate feedback and demonstrates what to do to properly train a dog. He also provides written instructions to reference when I’m training her. Willow has made immense progress on her areas of concern and has mastered basic commands. We have attended group walk and train sessions as well which are wonderful for socializing her as well. I highly recommend Commonwealth Pet Care.

We've been working with Alex for going on 2 years this fall. He is a wonderful trainer and really works with you to help focus on areas of concern. We started when our dog was a puppy and she naturallt has a very nervous temperament and Alex has really helped us get her socialized well so that she is great around other people and she's getting ok around other dogs. We'll keep up the training with him until her confidence with other dogs is really built up. You can tell he really cares about the dogs he works with. We have also used him for boarding and had a good experience. Definitely highly recommend!!

Alex has been great with both of our dogs! He both trains and boards our dogs. He has been fantastic with our 1-year-old rambunctious big puppy in getting behavioral skills and basic training, as well as our anxious and high-need 14-year-old small dog. He is patient, communicative, and easy to work with. We are grateful we have found him!

Alex helped us with our fearful foster pup Josie in the Fall of 2022. He gave us practical and useful documentation so that we could gain the skills to help Josie succeed. We met with Alex at least once a week for several months for hands-on training, which helped Josie become more accepting of new surroundings and people. With Alex’s assistance Josie’s fears decreased and she was able to be adopted by a wonderful and patient family that vowed to continue her training. Josie is thriving today thanks to Alex’s training.

We came to Commonwealth Pet Care from a recommendation from our vet. Our pup Stella was extremely fearful of people and other dogs and we were afraid this fear would lead to aggression. From the first “meet and greet” with Alex we knew we had found a great trainer for Stella. Alex was extremely professional and knowledgeable from the beginning. He identified Stella’s needs right away. Alex worked around our schedule and was very accommodating. Through Alex’s classical conditioning techniques Stella has become a confident and secure pup who loves to meet new people and other dogs. We have seen such a huge improvement in her behavior in such a short amount of time. We strongly recommend Alex to anyone looking for an experienced, compassionate and kind trainer. We will not hesitate to use Alex again in the future.

Alex is INCREDIBLE! He’s been working with us and our puppy Roxy for a few months and we can see a drastic improvement in our rambunctious dogs behavior. One thing I really appreciate about Alex is that you can tell he genuinely really loves and cares for each of the dogs he trains. He’s extremely personable and we like his method of training (positive reinforcement). His dog Apache has also been such a positive influence for Roxy and has helped her learn how to play appropriately and control her puppy biting. He’s also helped us connect with other new dog owners in the area to coordinate walks and puppy play dates (which has been difficult due to COVID). He’ll reach out to my husband and I during the week to check on Roxy’s progress and is easy to reach if we have questions. Alex is amazing and you’re doing yourself and your dog a disservice if you don’t use him to train you dog!

UPDATING Review: I felt that I needed to update my review after experiencing other doggy daycare options. I started bringing my dog here when he was a pup and he loved the smaller groups. I also was happy and comfortable knowing exactly who would be around my dog all day and knowing that they were being watched 100% of the time. I also boarded my dog with The Backyard Pack and was confident that he was being well cared for. Last year, before the pandemic hit, I added another dog to the family. She is a lot more strong willed then my older pup but she did very well at doggy daycare. Both dogs would come home exhausted and happy. Pandemic world, dogs stopped going to daycare for several months because both myself and my husband were home. When I began to go back to the office, we took advantage of another day care because they were offering 50% off their regular pricing and a neighbor that has a dog my pups love playing with, took their pup there as well. We did not take them often since we were still home a lot but it was great when we did because the 3 dogs could play together all day and would all come home completely tired out. By utilizing the other daycare service, we came to truly appreciate the Backyard Pack. With the other facility, my dogs got sick several times and my youngest was bit on 2 occasions, one being bad enough to cause an infection that required antibiotics. The Backyard pack is cleaned thoroughly and I had never previously experienced my dogs coming home sick. In addition to that, we had to board them and did so with the other facility(before the biting incidents). When we picked the pups up, we discovered that they had only been feed 50% of their meals. I would not chose to board my dogs anywhere else again. I can not say enough how much I appreciate knowing that my dogs will not be forgotten at The Backyard Pack when they are boarded this summer. My older dog also needs shots now and I know that I do not have to worry about this with Laurie and Brian. I would recommend The Backyard Pack over any other daycare if it is important to you that your dog is with people that truly care about your animal. My pups are both back in the Pack and they love this spot and the owners!

We started taking our American Staffy mix to the Backyard Pack because it was conveniently located just a few miles from work (and due to co-worker recommendations!). We have both moved on to new jobs, in the complete opposite direction of Backyard Pack, but still take our dog once every week or two. The staff is amazing, our dog comes home nice and tired, and we never have to worry about him while he's there. If we were closer, he'd go much more often. An extra perk is that Laurie (owner) is also a photographer so she can schedule Christmas, Valentines, engagement pictures while your dog is at daycare for the day. We love Backyard Pack! Just wish we were a little closer :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE The Backyard Pack! My Lab Blitz has been going to doggy daycare there for the past year. I couldn't be happier because he socializes with other dogs and is able to burn his energy during the day. Operating hours are perfect for me to drop off before work and pick up after. Laurie and Brian are wonderful with all the dogs and very experienced. Laurie is always giving advice with my pup! Highly recommend!!!!

My pup Bailey always gets so excited when we open the door to go in. I like knowing she’s in good hands and having fun with other dogs when I’m at work. I would definitely recommend Backyard Pack to anyone looking for a doggy daycare.

We have been boarding our dog at the Backyard Pack for about a year and have been very happy! Our sweet dog has traditionally not enjoyed daycare or boarding, but has no problem walking right in to play here! The dogs get individual walks, which is perfect for dogs who need a bit of reprieve from the chaos of daycare, and Laurie also has lots of advice, especially about nutrition.

We are sooooooooo in love with The Backyard Pack! Our dog absolutely loves going! We have used them for both daycare and boarding and can not say enough great things about them! We refer them to every dog owner we know because they are just wonderful people and a wonderful place. The owners have helped us understand our dog more and better meet his needs. We have asked their advice on numerous occasions about dog products and dog care and they are very knowledgeable and helpful! We are always at ease when we have to leave our dog because we know he is well taken care of and having fun, which is a tremendous relief to have found such an AMAZING place! We LOVE The Backyard Pack wholeheartedly and highly recommend them for anyone searching for a dog daycare/boarding!

After moving back to the area after living in another state for a few years, we spent a good amount of time looking for an open boarding and daycare facility for our two rescue pit bulls. Our dogs interviewed at other facilities that seemed fine but as soon as we came to The Backyard Pack, it was obvious that this was the perfect fit for us. One of our dogs is very high energy and can suffer from anxiety and our other dog is very fearful. Laurie picked up on these behaviors immediately and worked throughout their first boarding experience to help them feel comfortable and start overcoming these behaviors. When I picked them up from their first boarding stay, Laurie took the time to explain how she worked with my dogs and recommended ways that I can continue to work with them at home. I am so impressed by the care provided to my dogs and appreciate the time that was taken to not only make my dogs comfortably fit into the pack but also to help me to facilitate positive behaviors in my dogs. This is a wonderful place to bring your dogs for daycare/boarding and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a facility that you can trust to take care of your dogs like you would at home.

The Backyard Pack is an AMAZING Doggy Daycare! We have been bringing our dog, Lola, there for the past 5 months for both daycare and overnight boarding. We could not be happier with our experiences there. The owners are amazing trainers and we have learned so much about how to correct Lola's behavior. They are always willing to give us advice and ways that we can help her understand what is good behavior. We also love the concept of the open daycare, no kennels, simulated apartment that they use!

My dog loves the Backyard Pack!! Laurie and Brian provide a great home away from home for my collie. They willingly answer questions about pet care, food, toys, behavior, etc., and they're very knowledgeable. Both daycare and boarding are reasonably priced. It's a great place!

Affordable and convenient doggy daycare- my dog attends 1-2x week and they still notice when he is more active than usual or got a new collar. They have discounted services when I have foster dogs, and they post videos of the dogs playing. Dogs come home tired and happy, so it's a good value for the owner's sanity. Once your dog is an approved member, you can drop them off any day of the work week without notice, which is great for flexible schedules. Highly recommend.

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!

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!!

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!

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.

We have been using All Breeds for many years now and they are fantastic. David abs Eric are amazing with our girl and take great care of her! They send detailed reports after each walk and pics, which make my day! We highly recommend them, if you've been looking for a reliable dog/pet sitter you have found them! I can't say enough great things about them and the company!

Eric and Owen have been giving my boys mid-day breaks for a few months. I always get reports about how the visits go and what they did with the boys. They also bring in my too frequent packages from the porch. My job and life seem a bit chaotic at times, but Eric always finds a way to accommodate my crazy schedule, even last minute changes. And this great service comes at very reasonable rates. I highly recommend All Breeds Dog Walking!!

We absolutely love All Breeds! We have received nothing but excellent service! Our fur baby loves all the walkers (David, Eric, and Owen). He gets so excited when the doorbell rings (and disappointed if it's not them :) Highly recommend

This business is just amazing! They take great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats every time we travel!! Eric is excelent. Him and his team really do take care of our babies as if they were theirs!! He is reliable, he gives plenty of comunication and updates. Could not recomend more!!!

Dave is remarkable and provides incredible care for my dog. He has even helped my pup become more confident and comfortable on walks. They are reliable, and send me reports after every walk. I can’t recommend this group enough if you’re looking for someone to help you when you’re gone for a long time and need help.

Roxie is amazing! She is very detailed & makes sure my babies are always taken care of. They have amazing rates and no other dog walking service compares to them! Thank you for all you do.

We have been using All Breeds for several years now and they have never missed a beat. Our girls love Eric and David. They’re extremely responsive and always go the extra mile. I can’t see our family ever using another company.

Really can’t say enough about All Breeds. I was having such a difficult time finding a dog walker in our budget and one who was also flexible. My husband and I both work in customer service and our schedules tend to be all over the place. All Breeds allowed us the flexibility to switch days when needed, even if it was a last minute change, and have always done their best to come at the time we requested. Our dog has had three different walkers and each of them have been so amazing with our girl and you can tell they care very much about the pets!

We have been using All Breeds as both a dog walking service and a pet sitter for the past 2 years. I cannot say enough good things about this service. When we started with them we were just coming out of a bad experience with a different pet sitter and really needed to find another reliable company very quickly. All Breeds did not disappoint. They showed up to meet our little zoo, consisting of three cats and two dogs, the day after we called and started almost immediately. The dogs loved going on walks with Barbara and Maria. And when we traveled and used All Breeds to pet sit our cats, we always knew they were in good hands. The cats were happy, plants were watered, and the mail was brought in. Barbara and Maria always provided photos after each service which was a really nice personal touch. We are moving out of town and I sure hope we can find a company as good as All Breeds at our new location.

High recommendation! We enjoyed having Barbara take care of our 2 large dogs while we were away. Barbara made multiple visits ahead of the service dates in order to get acquainted and make sure both would be comfortable. We especially appreciate her knowledge of dog behavior, professionalism, friendly style and willingness to take on a challenge. Great service and excellent experience! We look forward to working together with All Breeds again in the future.

Tanis took care of our cat Zoey - she did a great job! She would send me pictures and provide updates every evening, so I knew Zoey was doing well. I felt comfortable knowing Tanis was there and it put my mind at ease. I will definitely use her again in the future. Also, Zoey always hides when a stranger comes to visit, but she came out when Tanis came by - which she NEVER does, so that says a lot!

Tanis visited my two senior dogs for over a year, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate person to care for their beloved pets. She helped my pups through multiple health issues, protected them on walks in my neighborhood where it's unfortunately fairly common to encounter off-leash and/or aggressive dogs, and she always showed up no matter what was happening (even in a snowstorm when everything was shutdown but I still had to work). It takes a lot for me to trust someone with my precious fur babies, and I never had to worry when they were in her care, which is saying a whole lot. Thanks so much, Tanis/The Content Pet!! :)

The care our pets received while we were away was phenomenal! The consultation before we left was easy to schedule and Tanis was very attentive to the details. Our pets also immediately took to her even though they had never met her which was a great sign. She is clearly an animal lover! Tanis was reachable and gave us updates periodically on how our pets were doing while we were away. We didn’t have any concerns and were very pleased with the service The Content Pet business provided. Would call on them again for any pet sitting services and highly recommend this company to anyone!

Tanis, the owner, is great! I feel confident leaving my dog knowing he is always treated with great care and love. I also appreciate my dog getting picked up and dropped off at our house!

Tanis is the absolute best! She was able to board my Maggi at the last minute, and I know Maggi had the best weekend with her. From the multiple walks to the endless belly rubs to her two dogs providing a loving and warm environment that Maggi really truly enjoyed, I will definitely ask Tanis to board my Maggi again in the future! Thank you Tanis for taking such excellent care of my Maggi! I also must say how incredibly well she takes care of my Maggi during their midday walks. Maggi is so excited to see her and spend time with her. Thank you, Tanis!!

Tania at The Content Pet is wonderful! She always accommodates my requests even when they are often short notice. Takes great care of my two kitties and gives me comfort knowing they're in the best of care when mom's away.

Tanis cares for our 4 legged family as if they were her own. She cares! If we are away and she is taking care of them, she always sends me texts with updates and pictures. I can travel comfortably knowing Tanis is there!

The Content Pet service was outstanding! My dogs seemed happy when we came home. The owner, Tanis, made me feel like our dogs were treated with love. I can tell that she's very passionate about animals and really cared for them. That's why I recommend this pet service. I definitely will use her services again. I think they're one of the best pet services in the Northern Virginia area.

Tanis is a true dog lover! You know that your dog is in great hands and loved when he/she is in her care. She picks up and drops off your dog which is extremely convenient!!!! Our dog immediately jumps in her car and is always excited to stay with her! Additionally, her prices are extremely reasonable! We are so lucky to have found her!!

Tanis runs a wonderful business. She is great with my dog, he absolutely loves her. She is reliable, dependable, responsive, and professional. Would highly recommend for all of your pet sitting and boarding needs!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We were recently out of the country on vacation and one of our dogs ended up needing emergency vet care and Doodlebug completely handled the situation with extreme grace and professionalism. The stayed with our dog from start to finish and kept us informed every step of the way. We felt helpless being so far away but Elizabeth and her staff were truly amazing through it all and we couldn't have been more grateful for the love, concern and support that they gave to us and our dogs. I've been using Doodlebug for several years now and recommend them to all pet owners that I know and meet. Whenever we use them we feel confident that our dogs are being given the best care possible. Thank you Doodlebug Dog Walker!!!

I am not sure where i would start regarding the professionalism of this organization. Doodlebug Dog Walker is the 3rd service we had tried when we started leaving our pets at home. They stand head and shoulders above the other companies and even family. Our 8 year old fox hound mix is very particular about who comes into the house and I like to think it is because he is tremendous judge of character. We have had the pleasure of getting several walkers and all been able to warm up to Roscoe with no problem. When our 20 year old cat passed away we received a heart felt card in the mail which was an incredibly nice gesture. Recently we brought our daughter into our home. We were challenged as I was travelling and Doodlebug adjusted to our endless last minute requests to help make the transition seamless. Our dog senses stress and becomes very anxious. Thanks to Doodlebug he got the attention he deserved and never needed to be medicated. Their background checks, screening process, walking process (they lock the door when they go out even when my wife and child were still in the house), and tracking system are top notch. After many years we can finally leave the house knowing there is nothing to worry about. I would and have recommended them to anyone who knows their pets prefer to be in the comfort of their own home.

I used Doodlebug for about a month and two weeks or so. The plan was to pay for thirty minute walks twice a week, however, one of the walkers would consistently walk my dog less than the allotted paid timeframe of thirty minutes. Sometimes it was 10 minutes, 15, 18, etc. I had a record of when she would come and return via the call box that rings my phone to let her into the residence. I provided this data to Doodlebug who advised they would complete an investigation and that it wouldn't happen going forward. Even though the company offered to comp the month of April half off, it was more of an integrity issue for me, however, I agreed to give the walker another try. The very next time, the same walker clocked in at 25 minutes. I sent a screen shot of this to Doodlebug management and they didn't even acknowledge it. The people of Doodlebug were kind, it just wasn't a good fit for us. At this point we are moving out of the area so it's really too late to find another service and start all over again. They advised in the initial meeting that they provide their own dog poop bags however the walkers were constantly using the ones I keep on the leash. This wouldn't have been an issue- had they not stated they provide their own supplies. Again, just an integrity issue for me. If using the service, I would just be mindful to track that you get what you are paying for.

this was the first time we ever needed a dog walking service in 10 years for our dog and bunny and we were thoroughly impressed with the entire process from start to finish, the professionalism and attention to our animals, our home and security helped us through this first experience of leaving our pets care to paid professionals. So thank you for preventing a potentially stressful aspect of our vacation by taking such good care of animals! We would highly recommend Doodlebug to everyone!

Everything from beginning to end was professional and organized. From the first pet assessment to the meet and greet of my dog with the dog walker. Daily updates and emails kept me informed. The personal notes each day was a nice touch. Doodlebug employees were friendly, helpful, and made the process easy. Thanks to the staff for all being so wonderful. I was away knowing he was in great hands. I can't imagine any other service in my home to care for him. May 2015 Another great service. One of the many reasons I keep coming back to Doodlebug is the attention and care your staff provides. During his yearly check Langston was found to have a yeast infection in both ears AND 3 abscessed teeth which required removal. You cancelled our upcoming dog walking services with no fuss. You also sent Langston and card with well wishes. The card made things a little brighter for us both. Thank you! Marky and Langston

We recently used Doodlebug for the first time to watch our pets, and we couldn't be more pleased. The Doodlebug caregiver came by our home every day, gave our cats not just food and a clean litter box, but love and attention, which is just as important. We will be using them again and again. The peace of mind of having professionals who truly love animals watching over our pets is priceless.

Its always scary leaving your animals in the care of others AND to complicate that even more, letting strangers into your home to care for them! To further add, they cared for my elder kitties who are on multiple meds and needed special attention daily. Doodlebug made the process and experience so easy on me, which allowed me to enjoy our 8 day family vacation. I received daily email communications and knew everything that was happening as it happened. They also helped me resolve unplanned matters that popped up. They are super flexible and accommodating! We will be using them again and again and we will use them for our dog sitting too. No more boarding! Look out Doodlebug, we will have a small zoo for you next time! :)

We've been very impressed with Doodlebug across the board. We have somewhat high-maintenance dogs, and Doodlebug has responded to all of our requests with complete professionalism, prompt communication, and an obvious care for our pets' health and happiness. We will continue to use Doodlebug and recommend them to anyone seeking dog-sitting services!

After disappointing experiences with last two pet sitters, we came across Doodlebug. Doodlebug definitely exceeded our expectations. Doodlebug's service is very structured and professional, yet so much personal attention is paid to our cats. We would definitely recommend them! (Thanks Danielle!!!)

Doodlebug is an extremely well-run business that offers top-notch, personal service. When we're away from our animals, we have total peace of mind, knowing they're getting the love, exercise and attention they deserve. From meeting owner Elizabeth on Day One to the fun and observant notes our petsitter leaves in the Dog Log, we don't feel like we've hired someone but instead view Doodlebug as part of our extended family. So many times, Doodlebug has gone above and beyond when we've needed them the most. We were gone when the East Coast had a freak storm earlier this summer that cut power to millions of people and toppled two trees next to our home; Doodlebug stayed with our pets and provided bottled water to ensure they were well hydrated. Another time, Doodlebug drove our cat to and from the vet several times while we were out of town so that his treatments wouldn't be disrupted by our absence. When a winter storm snowed in the region last holiday season, Elizabeth herself braved the roads on Christmas night to get to our pets and make sure they had everything they needed. The devotion and personal touch of this company and every employee is unsurpassed. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Millie has had some of the best dog walkers in our 7.5 years using Sierra Stroll - since she was just 3mo old. They all adore and love on Millie. Makes me feel very comfortable that they take such great care of her.

Sierra Stroll has dedicated pet lovers who enjoy what they do! With each visit the team has gone above and beyond to make sure our dog is loved in our absence! Thank you Sierra Stroll!

We have been using Sierra Stroll Pet Care for mid-day walks and pet sitting for five years. They are reliable, dependable, and communicative. I trust them with access to my home and to properly care for our dog who does have some behavioral issues. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of service.

I've been relying on the outstanding pet care services of Sierra Stroll for several years and I can honestly say that my dog's happiness and well-being is just as important to them as it is to me. Having qualified professionals caring for my boy gives me tremendous peace of mind, and knowing he is genuinely loved by them is a priceless bonus. Call me old-fashioned, but you can have your cheap "app" dog walker - I'll take the real professionals at Sierra Stroll!

Amazing people, amazing service! I have used Sierra Stroll for about 5 years. They take care of my cat and my dog and I would never trust anyone but Sierra Stroll. They are caring individuals who take a lot of pride in their work. I have referred a lot of people to them, and will continue to do so. They have become a part of our family, and there aren't many people who I can say that about! Thanks for all you do ladies!

I have used Sierra Stroll off and on for 10 years for pet sitting usually. They have been consistently reliable, caring, dependable, and it is obvious they always look out for the best interests of their clients (people and pets). You can't go wrong relying on them for any type of care needed for your family pets whether short-term or long-term.

I trust the folks at Sierra Stroll to take good care of our cats. It is very reassuring for me to have someone to look after our space while we are away and, even more importantly, it is so much easier on our cats to be able to stay in their regular surroundings. The price is comparable to boarding, but it is so much less stressful for the cats. Similarly, because I know that I am working with professionals, I don't have to worry about whether or not my guidelines are being followed or if the pet sitter is going to know how to handle an emergency -- they absolutely do. I highly recommend getting a pet sitter and letting your animals stay in their own homes when you are away -- I think that Sierra Stroll is the best option for pet sitters in the area.

Sierra Stroll has been a God-send in the lives of our pets. Not only do they care deeply about your pet, they take into consideration their personalities, their food needs, and in general they just love them. We recently lost our beloved, Diesel, and before I could put up a post on FB the Sierra Team beat me to it, with a tribute that was heart-stopping. Separate from love and care, they respect my home and make sure they follow whatever instructions I've left for our pets. I've been using Sierra for more than 7 years and can't say enough just how wonderful they are. My daughter also gets their help with her crazy Jack Russell, Ace. Again, you can't go wrong with the Sierra Team. They are part of our extended family.

We've been very happy with Sierra Stroll for our dog-walking. Randi has been incredibly flexible with us; I've been out of town for graduate school and my husband's recently had an unpredictable work schedule, and Randi has always been able to meet our needs for daily dog-walking at the last minute. When we had those crazy derecho storms over the summer, my husband and I were out of town and we extremely concerned that we may have lost power and we considered returning early from our beach trip. Randi called us (despite many cellular services being down) and let us know that our power was on and that our dog was doing well, thankfully saving our trip.

Exceptional pet sitting service. I know my cats are in good hands with Beth. It’s easy to make the appointment and get in touch if necessary. I highly recommend.

Easy to work with. I could tell they have a love of animals and would take good care of my dogs. I would definitely use their services again.

We went out of town for a long weekend and left our senior cat at home. Land and Sea Pet Care was amazing. If I could give more stars, I would! Aimee was very tentative to our cat and even brought mail in and ensured lights were kept on for him. She is also incredibly kind, along with her husband! I will definitely use them again and will recommend them to anyone in Montclair!

We LOVE Land and Sea!!! They watch all 3 of our dogs and take such good care of them. We know that our dogs are getting lots of love and special attention when Aimee comes, they get so excited to see her! It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in good hands so we can enjoy a night out or a day trip with no worries. If you are in need of someone to care and love your pet while you are gone, look no further, we highly recommend Aimee and her business!! So glad we found her!

Aimee has taken care of our two dogs a few times now and she is fantastic! Very reliable and knowledgeable about animals. I trust her completely. Super nice and keeps us informed while we’re gone. Gives me great peace of mind while we have to be away from our puppies. I would recommend her to anyone!

I highly recommend Land and Sea Pet Care LLC. Aimee and Nancy think of literally everything that needs to be taken care of while you are away (even things you wouldn't think about). Aimee watched my elderly cat (23) for over a week and did a great job. She is very accommodating to you and all of your pet’s needs. She provided photos and updates every day which helped me not be as stressed leaving her.

Land and Sea is the perfect company for pet care; we have had such great experiences with them caring for our two dogs. They are so great about really getting to know your animals and keeping you updated on how they're doing while you're away, which is a huge relief when traveling. I would absolutely recommend them for pet care to everyone in the area.

Aimee is absolutely amazing, thorough, and so sweet with our fur babies. I was so nervous about leaving our pets for a trip, but she went above and beyond to ensure they were well taken care of while we were gone. I HIGHLY recommend Land and Sea Pet Care! We will use them in the future!

I highly recommend Land and Sea Pet Care. I used them for cat sitting when I was new to the area and didn't know anyone - they were recommended by the local moms group. I was blown away by their communication, responsiveness, and care. Each day while I was out of town, my cats got food, water, and a clean litter box, but they also got attention, brushing, playing, and a significant amount of visiting time. Both Aimee and Nancy took care of my cats, and were even able to give medication to a notoriously difficult cat! Not to mention the fact that their prices are extremely reasonable. I will definitely be using them again the next time I go out of town!

Lots of love and care from Land and Sea Pet Care! They love your pets as if they are their own. Always working with your schedule. A nice note and photo from them each visit! They are part of our family!

We couldn't be more happy with Land and Sea Pet Care! They were able to fit us in when we called last minute, and treated our dog and family as if we were long time clients. We will be using them again, and highly recommend them.

We have had two great experiences with this company. One was a week long summer vacation with daily updates and pictures. The other was one walk for a day trip. This company is always willing to go the extra mile and is well priced. Our dog is picky with people, and loves Aimee! Would recommend to anyone in Montclair, VA!
