    I am extremely disappointed with Affectionate Pet Care. I typically take my dog to a different groomer closer to me but they were booked, so after seeing good reviews for APC I figured it was worth the 40min drive to have them groom my dog. I have an 11 year old bichon and when I got there, I dropped him off along with the paperwork APC asks for to groom your pet. I told them I wanted his hair fluffy, short and not buzzed, along with a little shaping to his face and ears. Not only did it take them THREE HOURS, but he was SHAVED all the way to his skin, had been quicked 2x and has been scooting ever since (think they messed up his anal glands after attempting to express them). I will NEVER be back, and I'm livid that I even had to pay for this type of "service." And these pictures are what I expected (had shown the groomer) versus what I actually got...

    This was after they groomed him. Very uneven and they obviously don't know how to groom.

    Please don't bring your dog here for grooming. I took my puppy here and all his nails were bleeding, besides his whole body not being evenly cut. My dog is traumatized and now won't let anyone trim his nails.

    I STRONGLY do not recommend this place for dogs who are new to grooming and ESPECIALLY for puppies! 2nd Time at this place and neither visit was good! 1st time coming in I mentioned that my puppy is 8 months so I would assume the groomer would be patient with him and be gentle. They were unable to give a trim because they said he wouldn't let them. I would've been fine with them telling me they just introduced the grooming items or attempted to allow him to be comfortable with the items near him. But no, all they mentioned was that they were unable to do the trim. Second time I decided to try a different groomer and asked for someone who was more specialized with puppy grooming and surprisingly, this one was worse than the initial one! They recommended her and so I was content, but after receiving my pup, again they said they weren't unable to give him a trim, no details of giving comfort or patience. This is the funny part, they were also unable to do nail trimmings even though the 1st groomer was able to! And the second groomer was more specialized? Last note, they didn't even brush him well! I did the brushing at home and it's like they didn't even brush him...What did I pay for the full grooming service? This place is more for adult dogs and dogs who are accustomed to grooming. The lady over the phone the second time was very nice and offered as much help setting up the next appointment, that's why I gave an extra star.

    Very good. My dog gets so excited when we get there. He loves it. I never worry when I'm boarding him.

    I contacted Wags 4 Walks on Wednesday about cat sitting for an upcoming vacation 1 month from now…read more Explained my situation to Brian, my need for cat sitting (20 min visit every 2-3 days), and provided my address. He said I was just a bit out of their service area, but he could make it work based on our flexibility with days. We scheduled the initial meetup on Saturday, and he says he's right outside. I text him because no one is on the driveway, and even send him the address again. He texts back that he thought no one was home (2 cars in the driveway and I confirmed we were home just 20 min before). And he cancels saying we are 30 min away from his farthest client. Randomly, he texts me 3 images of dogs and cats for no reason. With today's technology, he could have Googled my address and known the distance from me to his next client without having to drive it. I can understand if we were located way outside of his service area, but either the service map is out of date, or Brian just doesn't care to be professional about declining service. He should have notified us with a phone call instead of a random text message 10 minutes after our appointment saying, "It didn't look like anyone was home.". It seems professionalism and courtesy are seriously lacking for this company. I would not recommend Wags 4 Walks to anyone since Brian was not honest with us in any way.

When we got our new puppy, I knew we needed the extra hands while we were gone most of the day. Enter Fairytales. From the moment you meet Megan, you can tell she is deeply passionate about the care of animals. She cares about their wellbeing just as much as the owner! She's not just a service provider, she's a godsend to our family and new pup! From field trips, long walks, south block pup cups...Megan has given our new pug amazing socialization and enrichment. He is thriving as a new city family dog and we have Megan to thank for most of that, continually looking out for him, updating us with photos and videos of his fun-filled days, and her extraordinary effort to adjust him to all different types of dogs and people! Her doggy daycare service with pick up and drop off is a must for any busy family (we also have two) small humans!). Louie comes home a happy, tired pup ready to snuggle and wind down the day with us. We can't wait to see how Fairytales expands to the new location!

    Untangled Leashes is AMAZING! If I could, I'd give this 1,000,000 STARS!…read more POSITIVES: 1. Walks are 15-25 minutes each day with lots of interaction with the dog walker so these are happy pups! 2. I get tons of photos via text and email of their walks each day which are time stamped. 3. Dog walkers are extremely reliable and on time. 4. Easy online portal which allows you to make easy changes to the schedule and also provides a report card of how they handled their business and any pertinent information. 5. They always give the dogs water before and after their walk and a treat if you request they provide one of your treats. 6. Very responsive at all hours including weekends, especially when you have a last minute situation that comes up and need a dog walker. 7. Easy and accurate weekly billing. NEGATIVES: None. BONUS: Melissa also went the extra mile and corrected some of the bad behaviors that the dogs picked up from a previous, less competent dog walker. The dog walkers are dog lovers and you can tell that they love what they do. I highly recommend them for your fur babies - I promise you won't be disappointed!

    Dog Tranquility and it's owner Colleen Dermott have truly been life savers for our family. Over…read moremany years and multiple dog training experiences, I can honestly say that our experience with Dog Tranquility and Colleen is the best we have ever had. She is very passionate about what she does and cares very much about customers and their pets alike. We have adopted dogs for years but two of our current pups were getting along so badly that they were having fights that drew blood. Since we adopt for life, giving one or both up was not an option. Colleen worked closely with our dogs and educated us as owners to address the issues. It was not easy but within only a couple of sessions Colleen had our dogs starting to peacefully interact and over time they have now become good friends. On the rare occasion when we have an issue, we now know how best to address both in the heat of the moment and afterwards to bring the two back together. I am hoping to continue working with Colleen to focus on additional basic obedience and training and to continue to address some lingering behavioral issues. I don't write a ton of reviews, preferring to only write when I have extraordinary experiences and this is one such case. I highly recommend Dog Tranquility; Colleen's experience and training far exceeds usual obedience & training options and the outcomes have been far more meaningful & longer lasting than other options we have tried.

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