Gerri's Pet Care is wonderful and trust worthy and their pet walkers truly take care of the dogs. The price is reasonable-$15 per walk for 2 dogs during the week. She operates in the Alexandria/Arlington area around Quaker Lane (Fairlington and Park Fairfax). They also offer extended care of dogs if you would prefer that over boarding. Not a bad idea! You can email Gerri at gerri@petandplantcare.com.

Along with this, our sitter failed to communicate with us during or before the visit and sent a text the day I got home without identifying herself and asked if she needed to come back.

Barbara handles everything with the knowledge and experience of someone who has been around cats and dogs for a long time. She knew the medications my cat was on because she's been through it with her cats, and even my shy cat comes out for her. She will call or text if there are any issues at all. I trust her judgement, and I trust that she will care for my pets as though they were her own. That's saying a lot, because there are very few people that I would say that about! She is totally dependable and I appreciate her dedication.

Loyalty Pet Care isn't just great. They go way past the extra mile…read more We have been clients of Loyalty for many years. We found Loyalty through a friend, and decided to give them a try. I really liked them, because I never worried that our cats were "forgotten". Loyalty sends a picture and an email/text on every visit, so we always know what is happening. And they fill out a log book, that stays with us, with details on each visit. And then - because being good just isn't good enough - they went the extra 10 miles. When one of our cats got sick, Loyalty was there to help us through the very difficult time. They helped even when our cat would act out and get angry (because a sick cat is an unhappy cat, all the time). They didn't flinch when realizing they had a sick cat - they just dealt with it, and said "it's just part of the job". They even went so far as to accompany me to a vet visit, because it was taking two people to keep our poor cat calm. And that is how you set the bar. Now, several years later, I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Loyalty has done a great job of every visit - and even came to our rescue when we were stuck after a cancelled flight, and couldn't get home. We know we can count on them. If you are looking for organized, local, and going above and beyond the call, stop right here. You found it.

I used Loyalty Pet Care for 4 months during my last semester of grad school. Madison, Kat, and…read moreChrissy were our walkers and they were all great. I was only home when they came a handful of times, but each time I saw them they were very professional and clearly loved my dog (and he loved them!). They also were hugely helpful when he was diagnosed with cancer and later needed surgery- knowing they were able to see him and give meds while he recovered gave me such peace of mind. I spoke with Terry to get set up and she is a wonderful business owner who is dedicated to her employees and delivering great care to clients. If they ever noticed something was off during a visit, like if my dog had seemed sick or had gotten into something, they got in touch with me in real time to let me know, in addition to the handwritten notes that they logged after each walk for us to read when we got home. We were signed up for a monthly rate for consistent daily walks that I was happy with and it was relatively easy to note any schedule changes, you just have to know kinda far in advance. My only feedback would be that it would be great if they had a messaging system that allowed for real time walk messages with the possibility of sharing photos as well (a platform like Time To Pet, that I know some other services use), but they were so well organized and genuine that I never doubted that my walker was coming or that they were coming for the amount of time we were scheduled for. It would also be nice if it was possible to do group walks to get some socialization in, but they only do solo walks.

This is the best cat cafe I've ever been to. It's super clean, the cats are OBVIOUSLY well cared…read morefor and it is a great place to relax and get some cuddles. I was really impressed at how clean it looked and smelled despite so many cats. The litter was well managed and there wad barely any smell, unless one of the kittens just went potty... but they have a great filtration system that tackles odors quickly. I love how the staff has a read on the personality of each cat and respects that individual cat's personality and need for space. They also have a book detailing the name, and personality traits, for each cat. Many of the kitties are super sweet and cuddly, and they take their nap time VERY seriously. It's easy to see that they are well taken care of. There are 3 rooms in the facility: 1 for adult cats, 1 for kittens, and 1 for the cats who are more shy and scared. There are no food and drinks available for humans (which I personally think is a god thing. I mean... have you ever tried to enjoy food around a cat?), but there are lots of treats available for the kitties, as well as plenty of cat supplies and beautiful merch for sale. The staff are super nice and it's obvious how much they love the little feline felons. This was such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, and I can't wait to come back.

The price was honestly very good for the amount of hours you get to spend there, if it's with the adult cats, kittens, or both. They have lots of friendly and adoptable cats to interact with.

I was very nervous leaving him alone for that long since he's old and takes several medications. But she quickly put me at ease with her initial visit. Dogs definitely do love her. They were great watching him that week. Sent me videos every day and constantly kept me updated on his health. If you are looking for a company that will really care for your pet like it was their own I highly recommend Woofie!

We tried this grooming facility for the first time about a month ago and we were absolutely…read morethrilled. Our little cocker spaniel looked so handsome and he was happy, completely relaxed and not at all anxious. We have tried other groomers and he is usually very nervous during and after the grooming experience. As a result he would often have some uneven cuts and if not we would have complaints about him being wiggly or reports of him crying. When we arrived to pick up our pup from Rufflections he was happy, his tail was not tucked, he was wagging and completely relaxed! The groomer did an amazing job and not one issue with him being wiggly or crying! Tasha did an amazing job! We found our new place!

We trust her 100% for the care of our dogs when we travel. She plays with them and takes time to make sure they are comfortable. We have a lab with some anxiety issues and storms really frighten her. If we are out of town, Dee goes out of her way to make sure Brandy feels safe. I have never known another pet sitter to go so far above and beyond! Our dogs are always happy and healthy when we return, and she leaves little notes letting us know things they did each visit. Dee also helped us find an excellent training place that has helped steer us in the direction of therapy dog for our latest rescue. While he was in obedience training, Dee worked with him on his commands for us. If you live in Southern Maryland, they are the people to call for your pet sitting needs! I highly recommend them!!!!

TieM for Whiskers came highly recommended through a friend. They are reliable, quick to respond to inquiries and super flexible.

TieM also handled my dog walking while I was sick (undergoing chemotherapy) and couldn't walk my dog myself. I got lucky to have been introduced to this company. 100% recommend for anyone looking for a friendly pet service.
