Great name as they are the BEST pet sitters I've had for my 3 dogs…read more Elodie and Moe are spectacular. I am a neurotic owner of 3 dogs and just used them for the first time while my wife and I were out of town for a week. Each one of my dogs has a different personality and they dealt with all of them well; even my newer pup who barked at them forever the first day. I got several photos and videos each day showing my dogs playing, eating, etc. They administered pills and were able to walk all 3 of mine at once. You can really tell they are not just doing a job but really love the animals. Hire these people. They will be my default pet sitting from now on.

Unfortunately we can no longer recommend Leila Knows Best for dog boarding. We were frequent and…read moreloyal clients for years, but the relationship changed over the last 10 months as Moe increasingly focused on how to extract more money from us instead of cultivating a continued positive client relationship. It started with less and less updates and photos when we boarded our dog. When Moe did provide updates it was usually in conjunction with an offer to purchase credits for future stays (which we did and later came to regret). Then Moe started asking us to pay additional fees for stays we had previously negotiated and paid for, going so far as to request those additional fees while he was already watching our dog. This behavior started to make us feel uncomfortable in continuing to use his services and more concerned about leaving our dog in his care. Moe's behavior did not present as someone thankful to clients that consistently supported his dog watching business. We had been loyal clients for years and, this year in particular, had already used Moe's services nearly every month with more scheduled trips through the rest of the year. Despite our concerns, we continued to use Moe's services since we had pre-paid for two more stays through the end of the year. That changed when we requested to reschedule one of the stays. Well in advance of the trip, we asked Moe if he was available for a week the month before our trip. He confirmed he was, but when we requested to reschedule our original trip to that earlier week and use the pre-paid credit, Moe stated he was no longer available. When we referred him to the cancellation policy on his website, he offered the credit, but wouldn't let us use it until the end of the year. We reminded Moe that in the years we've consistently used his services, we have never rescheduled, and explained the importance of rescheduling our trip. Moe subsequently offered to board our dog for the requested week, but wanted an additional $150, despite our pre-paid credit exceeding the amount of time we were rescheduling for. We felt hustled and tried to handle this issue privately, but Moe stopped responding to us. Unfortunately we have lost over $1,000 in pre-paid and unused credit--a costly mistake that we won't be making again. We're sad that our relationship soured in this way, but we could no longer trust Moe and would suggest prospective clients be cautious about doing business with him.

A neighbor recommended Passionately Pets to me since I had previous experience with being a pet sitter. I applied and they responded within 24 hours. After a series of interview questions, online training and a shadowing visit, I was hired. Passionately Pets made sure I had the skill set needed to efficiently care for pet owners' loved ones. I was able to meet new people, learn more about animals, and be a part of a community of individuals who care greatly about the well-being of animals and their owners. Owner Julia Gotch, Jenna Nadovich and Passionately Pets team are the reasons I am able to pay my bills, continue to go to university and put gas in the car. And for that I will forever be grateful!

Angel is fantastic! She to took the time to meet up with us beforehand and learn about our dogs…read more Our two dogs (15yr old Westie and 9yr old Border Collie), did great with her over their 2 night/3 day stay a few months ago. Our dogs are older and have some eccentric ways but Angel eagerly learned about them and made sure to make their stay as comfortable and easy as possible for them. They were very happy and she kept us regularly updated on how everything was going. The final touch of VIP treatment was when we went to pick them up and she sent them home with little goodie bags and polaroid photos of them. We highly recommend Angel and will have peace of mind on our summer vacation that our dogs are in good hands for their summer staycation!

After adopting a kitten we realized that we were going to be going out of town at least once a…read moremonth over the spring and summer and knew we couldn't keep asking friends to come over to take care of him. So we found Jon and Janelle through their website and decided to give them a try. They came over to meet our kitten, Calvin, and he warmed up to them immediately. They outlined their service and fees and everything turned out just as they had explained. It's a little nerve-racking giving your keys to someone you don't know to come in your home when you're not there, but Jon and Janelle were extremely friendly and made us feel at ease, plus it was nice knowing they would be the only ones that would be coming into our home and not an employee. Over the course of time while we lived in the area, they came and sat for our kitten at least 10 times. It was such a relief not to worry about the well being of your pet when you're away. They even give you updates after every visit letting you know if anything came up while you were gone, how your pet ate and behaved, etc. Their prices are the best around and they always had availability when we asked, even during Christmas and Thanksgiving! Overall Jon and Janelle run a great business and we were sad that we wouldn't be able to use them anymore after we moved out of the area. If you're looking for an affordable pet sitting service that is upfront, trustworthy, and really good with your pet, look no further!

Needless to say he lost the fight and needed emergency care. I called 4 nearby hospitals and they were booked solid. I called this facility and they promised to be ready to help upon arrival. I drove over an hour to utilize this animal hospital, staff met us at the door as promised, then quickly proceeded to treat him. They showed so much care & compassion! A few days ago, I noticed my pup refusing to walk even during nice weather days. His genitalia was dark red & inflamed. I took the voyage back to the hospital and received the same level of care that I remembered. They have an onsite pharmacy, so we went home with 3 Rx & an e-collar. He's healing slowly but surely. We have pet insurance and a wellness plan elsewhere, but I will pay out of pocket for the top tier service & 24/7 coverage that I receive here.

My dog goes to different practice because he was already on a plan when I adopted him and it made more sense to keep him on that plan, but my cats (& previous dogs) were patients here & we used to board our dogs here too. When they were good, I would constantly tell people to go here but after we had a hellish experience we shared our trauma & literally told people to stay far away from here! And we stayed far away from here! My good times here have been amazing & one of the vets saved my beautiful baby during the same hellish experience with the jerk of a vet who caused us to let go of our baby. But sadly the amazing vet moved and so I swore this place off! I needed a new vet and I really went down the rabbit hole of research and was actually brought right back here and I am so grateful that we found Dr. Candace Flynn! She is simply a dream and the most amazing, compassionate and caring vet I think I have ever met and my kitty is so comfortable with her it's pure love! Dr. Flynn, who deserves FIVE STARS+++, is also wonderful with her advice and guidance. She's very communicative and informative and just well-rounded with a holistic approach, but the amount of time and love she spends with your pet (and you) is priceless!!! They are a 24-hour emergency care, veterinary hospital, fully equipped, and fully staffed round the clock. They also have a separate, waiting room for dogs and cats to help ease the anxiety. They also have two sister hospitals in both Clifton and Arlington, Virginia. Yes, they are a bit pricier but you're inside the beltway & 15 minutes from DC so what do you expect?! Thankfully, there has been more good than bad and I know which vet to steer clear from & I still forewarn people about her! 7/2/27
