He left his information for us on our counter after he watched our babies & he was so wonderful I made sure to hold onto it. Fast forward a few months & we needed a dog sitter for a couple of weeks. The first person who came to mind was Andrew! He was very accommodating with our last minute request & change of plans, he was fairly priced, clean, followed instructions very well & most importantly SO kind & caring to our babies! He provided daily updates with photos/videos & treated our babies as if they were his own. Andrew gave us such peace of mind & comfort in knowing they were safe & well taken care of. Moving forward, it will only be Andrew to care of our babies when we need to go out of town. Cannot say enough good things!

A while back, I found myself in desperate need of someone to take care of my 4 cats and ferret…read more Normally, I picked on my daughter and family, but this time we were all going to be out of town at the same time.. I started to do an internet search, and found Victoria (WalkitdownFrederick). She came to my home and we talked for a while, saw how she interacted my animals, all strangers to her, and how they reacted to her. Almost the first thing Victoria did was pick up the ferret, most people are afraid of them, but Victoria went right to the ferret playpen. THe only issue was one of my cat's has never made friends with anyone, and even after 7 years is usually invisible; I don't think Victoria ever saw her. Anyway, I digress. I made arrangements to get Victoria keys to my home, and an agreement the she would come in twice a day for the week I was gone; mostly so the ferret could get some play time, out of her crate. I was pleased with the care given to my animals during my week out of town, and have all intentions of calling on Victoria again. Some time later, I needed to take all 4 of my cats to a rabies clinic, to save some money, and Victoria came to the rescue, volunteering to help me catch the 4 furry ones, and go with me to the rabies clinic. All in all, if I ever need to go out of town again, there is no question in my mind that I would call on Victoria,and WalkitDownFrederick! Mike Sodos

We could tell right away how knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate they are as animal lovers and caregivers. While our family was away on vacation, Liz went above and beyond in looking after our boys. We received regular updates complete with photos and videos showing our boys looking happy, comfortable and well cared for. Liz was diligent in adhering to the feeding and medication schedules for both dogs, and provided them with affection and care throughout her visits. When we returned, the house was tidy, our dogs were calm and content, and we could enjoy a stress-free reunion knowing they had been in the most capable hands. We are so grateful to Joelyn and Liz for the exceptional service and peace of mind they provide. We cannot recommend them highly enough and look forward to having them care for our boys again in the future.

She sends me multiple videos every day of Achilles playing with other dogs, having the best time, and just being genuinely happy. It brings me so much peace knowing he's not just being watched, but truly loved. I used to hate going out of town because I'm a control freak and a huge worrier. But I'm so lucky to have found Roxane. It's incredibly rare to find someone you trust this deeply with your dog. Roxane doesn't just pet-sit -- she bonds, she cares, and she loves. I feel so lucky to have found her and can't recommend her enough.

YELP came to the rescue when I was searching for a dog walker for the first time in my life. I was going to be away from my house for over 10 hours during a recent weekend and needed to have someone walk my Ethel in the evening. Enter Purrs & Grrrs. Because they are local, you don't have to worry about anyone getting stuck in traffic. They offer a free meet/greet and ask all the right questions. Even the registration form asked some very specific and needed questions. I was very impressed by the registration process and how easy everything was. Even paying them was easy as a client can pay by using the CASH app. Otherwise, checks/cash are accepted as well. I advised them of the different walking areas that I usually take Ethel and even areas to avoid (streets that sometimes has loose dogs from the neighbors). I also asked that if they crossed a particular busy street, that they carry Ethel as I don't trust the cars and their drivers. They totally understood all my concerns and took notes as well. After they walked Ethel, I would get a text with pictures and letting me know how everything went. Because of that, my mind was set at ease as Ethel was taken care of and enjoyed the walk (see the pictures) Don't look any further, you have found your dog walking service!! I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Without hesitation, I will use Purrs & Grrrs again.

She is a detailed, positive dog trainer, who is also great at training us, on how to properly walk our dog Charlie.

It has come to our attention that there is another dog trainer in the area who got a similar company name to Jenina and he is awful. Some of the criticism of him has been accidently hurtled at Jenina. This is truly unfortunate for her and I hope the facts come to light!

This review is LOOOONNNGGGGG overdue. I had gotten a Shiba Inu puppy 3 years ago that had to be…read morehospitalized due to Parvo the next day. Then, once he recovered from that, had a fever that almost killed him and had to be hospitalized again. We had to keep him quarantined for a while and away from my other dog (a 7 year old Pomeranian at the time) and get all his vaccinations from the beginning. He was scared of literally every single noise and had anxiety about just about everything. Over time, he developed extreme food aggression and we were worried for the safety of my little Pom. He had been attacked a few times to the point of actual injury and it was extremely stressful for everyone. I was at my wits end and I felt like I had tried everything to help Gunnar (my Shiba) and protect Simba (my Pom). I did a lot of research and stumbled upon Jenina and sent her a message for private sessions where she would come to my apartment once a week. I believe I only used her for a little over a month but I am eternally grateful. The level of aggression Gunnar displayed was so dangerous that my roommate and I actually have been bitten with blood trying to protect Simba from harm where food is involved. The issue was that he wasn't aggressive with all foods and we were unaware the extent until it was too late (ex. we thought it was only wet food so we were giving a chew stick to them separately where I would have Simba sitting next to me on the couch and Gunnar would be on the floor away from Simba with my roommate and the switch was so sudden----from sweet to seemingly no warning lunging at Simba----I stuck my leg out to protect Simba and he bit my leg instead). I feel like at this point, a regular human being would give Gunnar up, but that wasn't an option. It wasn't an option when he came to me dying from Parvo, it wasn't an option when he had an almost fatal fever, and it wasn't going to be an option for me now. I was determined to find a way to help him because he is my baby and my responsibility. The vet suggested I contact a behavioral specialist and when I did, VCA told me the earliest appointment they had was months later. Fed up with waiting, I found Jenina. In a month's time, she had given me the tools to fix a seemingly impossible situation. Make no mistake---she made me work for it. She might come across brash to some people but she is very direct and straight to the point. She doesn't coddle you and makes sure she lets you know what you need to do because while the session is for dogs, it is actually more like training the parent. She gives you "homework" and training info and is only willing to help you if YOU do the work. Now, it wasn't a complete fix. He still has anxiety outdoors or unknown noises as well as food aggression but it is nowhere near what he used to be. Before Jenina, Gunnar couldn't even take a step outside the apartment building let alone go for a walk. Three years later, Simba has sadly since passed but he has a little brother that he is extremely patient with as he acts like a typical annoying little brother), his food aggression has gone down from 100 to 30, and we go out to all sorts of places. He is THRIVING and this is all thanks to Jenina. My roommate and I are on high alert and know what to look for in terms of triggers and are very quick to de-escalate aggression situations. We try our best not to avoid known triggers and we work with him every day to allow him to be his best self. He is the sweetest boy and we are so glad he's been able to show it instead of being overshadowed by aggression and anxiety. She also gave Gunnar his nickname---Gunny! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I am so sorry it took this long to leave this review but thank you so much for saving us. If we had listened to the VCA behavioral specialist that basically called Gunnar a monster and suggested we give him up, he probably would have been euthanized somewhere. We owe you so much.
