I have a cat that doesn't like people (except for me) and it's been hard for me to decide whether…read moreto board him or find a sitter. After I had made an appointment for boarding for 9 days (he'd be in a little room with a window to the outside) I decided to look for a sitter. I do not feel comfortable hiring any one of the (seems like) hundreds of teens or young adults that gig as a pet sitter; I was looking for a company that has experience and a good reputation. I thought the name of the company was odd, but I sent an email to the owner and she responded instantly and when I told her about my cat's issues she said she had the perfect "cat whisperer" for me. Done Deal! They came over for a meet and greet, we agreed to the terms and that was it! I left written instructions; the cat sitter checked in with me to confirm the start date. Every day I got a report (sometimes twice a day) and a report about what my little "angel" was up to. It was comforting to be so far away knowing he was being well cared for, personality and all. Best part, upon my return, everything was neat and clean- even in the litter room, so no messes for me to recover from. Thanks MMDP for helping me with dear George. I'll be calling on your services anytime I need a sitter for the precious little guy. Also of note, this company doesn't put you through an interrogation just to get an appointment, you don't need codes and lockboxes, and the prices were very reasonable. Thanks guys- you are the best!

Our family has rarely done boarding in the past with our animals because we have been lucky enough…read moreto have great neighbors and friends to help us out, but with an 11 month old full breed Australian Shepard, Winnie, we were concerned it'd be asking too much of our friends to keep her. We met Sarah when she trained our Winnie back in September and they had built such a great relationship, it seemed like a no-brainer to ask Sarah and Happy K9 Kennels to keep her for the long weekend. Sarah is so friendly and welcoming. It's reassuring that we have somewhere to take Winnie where she's excited to be making friends and feels at home. We will highly recommend Happy K9 Kennels and will take Winnie there in the future.

However, they never flinched because they got it. In the years we have used their services, we have never had an issue. Instead, they went above and beyond to make those last minute requests work (when possible) and even did kind things like bringing in Amazon packages out of the rain. Additionally, they watched my two birds for me while we were on vacation so that they could stay home in a safe space that they knew versus heading to a boarding facility. I highly recommend Doodlebug!

Doodlebug Dog Walker is hands down the best pet care service we've ever used! From the owner,…read moreJennifer, to the scheduling coordinators, pet sitters, and our amazing weekly walker--everyone is professional, reliable, and truly cares about our dogs. Before Doodlebug, we cycled through so many other services, but none gave us the confidence and peace of mind that this team does. We have four dogs, including two with special medical needs and a senior who must always be separated from the younger ones. Managing all of this is no small task, yet Doodlebug handles it seamlessly. Whether it's accommodating last-minute scheduling, Jennifer taking our dogs on hikes, or providing top-notch vacation care, they consistently go above and beyond. We are beyond grateful for the love and dedication they show our pups. We've been a regular client of theirs for 4+ years and we've never had to worry about the care and safety of our pets while we're away. They're in such good hands and we couldn't imagine using anyone else. If you're looking for a dog walking service that treats your pets like family, look no further than Doodlebug Dog Walker!

I…read morewas scrambling to find a way to take care of my dog, and all the other dog walkers couldn't fill in with such short notice. A call to Jds Canine Cruiser, and Viktor had me taken care of the next day, which was brought my wife and I peace of mind. Their prices are slightly lower (by a dollar or 2) than the other dog walkers I called, and they were far more flexible. I met Viktor in person for the initial meet and greet, and was very professional and handled my dog well. Without having to ask, Viktor watched how I dealt with my dogs excitement, and mimicked me, when I handed my dog over. I felt very confident in leaving my dog to their care while I was out of town. If you are looking for a dog walker in the NOVA area, I highly recommend choosing Jds Canine Cruiser.

My husband used to take a long lunch break to do run the midday walk for our pup (he needs to potty up to 4 or 5 times a day) but now thanks to JD's Canine Cruiser he can save the drive and dedicate the time to his projects. It took a while for us to make up our minds about hiring or not a dog walker and after having JD's we have realized how much better it is weighting time, gas, mileage, traffic, etc...

I may be a tad bit biased in this review - I worked for this company part time for about a year…read more.. But hear me out! After meeting the great people behind K9 Nirvana and working with them in the "trenches" of poo, playtime, cuddles and many a long walk with the fur babies, there is no one else I would trust more. I know these people go above and beyond when it comes to caring for animals; I've seen it in action. I've lived it. Because of this, when it came time for me to get away and hire a dogsitter for my beloved pup Milo, I also became a PAYING CUSTOMER. Rosemary runs the show at K9 Nirvana. She is a very smart, caring and hardworking lady. When you contact K9 Nirvana for services or inquires, you'll hear from her. She will meet with you and your pet(s). Whoever will be your pet's walker or sitter you will get to meet before services are rendered as well. I think this gives a very personable touch to the business - you don't just give your pet(s) away to strangers, you actually get to know them as well. I also really like the notes that are left by the sitter/walker after every visit. This is such a great alternative to leaving your beloved pet at some over-flowing, concrete boarding facility. Your pet gets to stay comfortably in their own home with steady, reliable, animal-loving people taking care of them. What more could you ask for?! If Milo had thumbs, he'd give Rosemary & her crew 2 big thumbs up!

It has been a couple of months since my 1yo Samoyed, Olly, came back from the 10-day in-home…read moretraining that Mike and Jerri offer. At first, I was very nervous about letting someone have Olly for this long. He would take off after everything and was very hard to control. But, they made sure to send pictures of Olly on his daily excursions. I would see him sitting at various stores and I was delighted to see he was doing so well. When we went to pick him up, I couldn't believe how much he had improved. His basic obedience was on point, like never before. He was also more polite in unexpected ways. He's a very vocal dog, and we noticed that while he spoke just as much, he was literally softer in volume, as if he now understood that he can be too loud. He stopped going into bathrooms and creating messes. Best of all, I was able to take him out into the world on a leash and prong collar, and we both enjoy it. I will admit, I am bad at keeping up with the training - which is why I decided to do this program in the first place. OIly is definitely not problem free, but he's way more of a delight to own and, if I do better with the training tips Mike and Jerri offered, then I'm sure I can get him back into shape in a week or so. But, truthfully, just the fact that I can now take him anywhere I want with me and have a pleasant experience made it worth the price and the 10 days of separation.
