I have been using Doggywalker in Alexandria for over 9 years and through 2 large dogs (including a…read morerescue) and have had such a positive experience. The management/owners have always been super responsive and caring and the walkers are very good. Any time I have had any issues (which have been few and far between), I have received a prompt response and resolution. I don't need walks on a regular basis, only as needed for travel or extended activities. Yet, even as an intermittent user, I have received excellent customer service and my dogs have always been happy and treated well. Highly recommend!

Heath came through the door and greeted Theo loudly and lovingly with a "Theoooooo!" followed by lots of pets and love when Theo ran to him. When they returned, Heath continued to pamper Theo and give him treats and talk to him just like I do. Through all of this Heath didn't know I was home and sick. I am so happy that my precious pup is taken care of when I'm at work, and taken care of by people who genuinely love the dogs they walk!

They sent summaries and fun pictures of their adventures. She had a major seizure during a visit.

Her walker provided amazing care to my dog and a detailed account to the vet. They were dedicated and supportive on a most difficult day. I recommend them highly.

Here is an update to my original review. As I said before,…read moreI LOVE my pet care team. Off Collar has been a God send for me. Yesterday I was diagnosed with the flu. Oh misery All it took was a text message to Lauren Flannigan (owner) and favorite pet sitter, to ask if she could help me out by taking my Mila for daycare. There was no hesitation on her part. She was here early this morning to pick her up and will have her back to me in the afternoon giving me the day to rest. She will do the same tomorrow. Even though we weren't scheduled for these days, she was very willing to help me out. If you need pet care and want the best for your four legged furry friend, you would be remiss in overlooking this amazing service. I have had dogs my whole life and excellent pet sitters are hard to come by.

She came over to meet my clan (now she refers to them as "her squad"!) and they loved her. She has great energy and a visible passion for animals. I went out of town for the weekend, and she sent me a ton of pictures of my babies when she went to my house. She even left me notes about her visits. I trust almost no one to take care of my babies as well as I do, and Jinna definitely did. She will be my only pet sitter!

What a scammer! I've used many dog boarding services before and this has to be the worst. If you…read morelove your dog, steer clear of Lisa. There are so many other options in the area with honest caring businesses. Lisa Meade is irresponsible and manipulative, to say the least, and retained my dog to leverage for more money. All the drama I experienced was frankly because Lisa forgot to pick up the check when she picked up the dog and demanded that I mail her a check over the Christmas weekend. I find it difficult to believe the other reviews considering my experience. Lisa wanted me to pay cash before I could even see my dog and check that my dog was happy and well. The truth was that she didn't even have my dog when I went to go pick her up! Moreover, she requested I pay $165 plus a late check fee, when the original contract I emailed her was for $120. Lisa kept making excuses for negotiating earlier pickup and later drop off fees and trying to charge extra for requests she made to suit her schedule. I understand that it was Christmas time and I am not concerned about the money as much as how manipulative Lisa was in the end. The day after Christmas, I went to go pick up my dog at her apartment, she said she wanted the cash even though a check was already en route, as clearly requested by Lisa. I already paid via check but I went to the bank to cancel the check right before attempting to pick up my dog. When I showed up, Lisa wasn't there at her apartment!! Then after numerous texts and phone calls, she asked me to leave the cash with the concierge and she would drop the dog off at my house later at 3PM. I refused, since I wanted to see my dog first before paying. Then, she suddenly appeared at her apartment complex and again demanded the cash, and I requested to see my dog first. She said she wanted to discuss the situation and I said we could when the police arrived. So she she stormed out of her apartment lobby. The police came shortly after and recommended I wait for her to return. After waiting 3 hours, I called the police again and the second time they knocked on her apartment door and apparently the dog was not even in the apartment this whole time!! Hence, even if I paid before seeing my dog, I still couldn't have gotten my dog back! Thanks to the Arlington police, I got my dog back later that evening, with a chewed up harness and missing name tag. Luckily, my dog didn't seem traumatized. Needless to say, if you love your dog, I strongly do not recommend this business.

I recently moved into a large complex in Arlington and was recommended to Lisa by management which…read moreby itself is an strong endorsement. My lab Jackson loves almost everyone however, I'm a tough sell. Lisa is good people. She is genuine, down to earth, real and clearly loves animals. We discussed her families history with dogs and her philosophy handling training etc. My gut said all green lights so I scheduled numerous visits right away, including consecutive visits where I was away to Florida overnight for business. I didn't see Jackson for about 36 hours, and during that time he was visited on schedule and fed as requested. He was his normal excited self when I got home which is all a dog owner can ask for when trusting someone else to watch after him. Today, I was home for lunch and happened to run into one of Lisa's walkers, the same who visited Jackson while I was away. He acts a certain way to strangers and a certain way to people he knows and likes. She got the later response; Jackson was very excited to see her and that to me was all the confirmation I needed to know about the kind of person Lisa sent to see my dog. Trusting someone with your dog is a big deal. A building complex recommending someone be allowed to watch after dogs in their complex is also a big deal. Even more, my building complex allows Lisa's service to come into this building and enter homes when owners are not around. Those things by themselves are big endorsements. For me, the biggest endorsement of Lisa came from Jackson. He was his normal self when I got home and he was very excited when we bumped into his walker. Dog's know good people, so do I and only good people are allowed around either of us. Canine Performance will be getting my business for the foreseeable future. I definitely recommend anyone consider them to take care of their dog.

We've been using Wanderpups for cat-sitting for over 2 years and if I could give more than 5 stars,…read moreI would! Just a few of the reasons include: a) Easy booking through an online portal, which also allows you to create a detailed profile for your pet including info such as feeding schedules, medications, temperament, etc. b) Reasonable pricing. c) Excellent customer service and responsiveness to questions, schedule change requests, etc. d) Detailed updates after each cat-sit visit including photos. But the thing that really sets Wanderpups apart is the amazing care from their team of dedicated pet-sitters. Our cat is not the most cuddly or affectionate guy. He's wary of strangers. But we have been lucky enough to have a handful of repeat sitters, and each one has gone above and beyond to make friends and gain his trust. It has been amazing to see how much he has come out of his shell. Now, instead of hiding under the bed when they visit, he comes out to greet them, allows them to pet him, and gives them lots of headbutts (basically cat-speak for "I love you, you're my friend"). Wholeheartedly recommend!
