The staff is professional, the facility is clean. They house the cats in a separate area from the dogs of course and the cats have their own large cage with a litterbox and bowl of water that's changed daily and two separate perches for them to hop onto. They offer and provide a warm meal for your cat if you don't bring your own food. My cat loves his Fancy Feast grilled wet food and temptation treats so I packed that for his stay which the staff happily gave him. The staff is accommodating to pet's needs so please discuss those concerns with them. To help him feel comfortable with his stay away from home i provided his own small blanket and it was placed into the cage. You don't need to bring your own feeding/water bowls Anchors Kennel provides that. I called almost every day to speak with a staff member who was familiar with my cat and how he was handling the stay. The rates are super affordable the best in the DMV area! You must be current on your pet's immunizations and show proof otherwise you will be denied care at the facility. A pet report card is given at the time of checkout (so cute) about behavior, feeding times, how well pet interacted with staff etc... My cat received an" A" for being loveable THANK YOU ANCHORS KENNEL STAFF AND OWNER for providing professional pet boarding for cats because not everyone offers wonderful services for cats in the DMV area! Keep up the fantastic work and care you provide!

https://nextdoor.com/p/KmMRw7sbymLG?utm_source=share&extras=MTUzMTQwMDE%3D…read more I am writing this review to make people aware that this may not be the best place to board your pets. We boarded our labrador retriever mix Hank for five days. When I picked him up I was notified that he barely ate the entire time he was there and then when I had already checked him out and was walking him to the vehicle, the girl that checked me out comes running out and says "oh I just wanted to inform you that your dogs testicles are a little chafed". And she said "we rubbed balm on them and you should continue to do that". She said that "he spilled little drops of water in his kennel and laid in it and that is what caused this chafing". So I figured it was just a little chafing as she said and Hank was excited so I didn't even look at it at the time. But when I got home I noticed him limping and so I was looking around to find out why he was limping and it was because his testicles were so red and inflamed and irritated and he was in so much pain that he was whimpering. I called Anchors to speak with someone and was told that this happened because Hank chose to lay on the floor and the moisture that is on the floor causes this problem. They basically shrugged it off as not being a big deal and not taking any responsibility for it. Later on when I went to clean Hanks testicles off and he continued to whine when I did it, I became really angry and called back. I was calm and matter-of-fact when I began to speak with one of the owners Princ (who was the person I spoke with the first time I called). I asked him why I wasn't notified of both my dog not eating hardly anything the entire time that he was there and also that I wasn't called when they noticed the severe irritation on his testicles. I was told that this wasn't a life-threatening emergency so they didn't call me. He did not apologize. He did not ask how Hank was doing. All he did was try to defend his actions. I asked why I wasn't notified when they first noticed the irritation. He said because they didn't notice it right away. My question to him was that if he is aware that this is something that happens and he seen that Hank is laying on the floor and there's moisture on the floor, then why not check for these things? Someone has to go in and feed them daily and supposedly take care of them, so why not check for these sort of things. He continued to defend himself by saying Hanks testicles weren't facing them when they went in to check on him previous times so they did not notice it. Princ basically dismissed my question of why it's not something that is monitored closely if it is something that can occur that they are aware of. This could have very well been a life-threatening emergency if Hank acquired an infection. This was very likely a possibility due to the severity of his injury. But no matter what I said to Princ, he just defended it time after time. He took no responsibility for what happened to Hank. He was very cold and at no time showed any concern for the painful condition Hank acquired while being under his care. This was a case of complete neglect. Later when I spoke to the vet and other boarding facilities regarding this matter, I was made aware that it would have either have had to have been urine or disinfectant that would have irritated his testicles to the point of being so raw, red, and painful. That makes sense because you could tell that he had a very strong urine smell when I picked him up and it was attempted to be covered up by someone spraying lots of deodorant spray on him. They also took it upon themselves to treat a very serious wound the wrong way. If moisture is what supposedly created the wound to begin with, then why continue to treat it with more moisture which was the balm they used. The severely irritated wound should have been cleaned and dried. And if they knew that he continue to lay in moisture then that means the condition was going to continue to worsen. And with them knowing full well that this was the case, they still did not contact me. And they still take no responsibility for letting this happen to Hank. I've had two family trips back to back and that is the reason why it's taking me a week to write this review. I had Hank scheduled to be boarded for my second trip but when I called to make sure they had reserved boarding for him, that is when I was notified that he had barely eaten anything while he was there the first five days. So I immediately went and picked him up and that is when this terrible ordeal unfolded. There was no way that I was bringing my dog back to this place to be boarded again so I left him with family. I DO NOT recommend boarding a pet at this facility ever. I would never trust them to look after any living breathing thing that I cared about. They are not responsible, they are not compassionate, they are not trustworthy, and they lack the skills needed to properly care for pets.

From the very first visit, it was clear that she genuinely cares for the dogs she looks after--she treats Taz as if he were her own. Every time I drop him off at Pawadise, he's excited and wagging his tail, and I leave knowing he's in great hands. Deena provides a nurturing, structured, and fun environment where dogs can safely play, socialize, and feel at home. Taz always comes back happy, well-exercised, and ready for a nap--which tells me he's had a full day of activity and engagement with his furry friends. It's also comforting to know that Deena keeps a close eye on the dogs and is attentive to each of their personalities and needs. Finding a place that you can trust with your pet is never easy, but Pawadise has exceeded every expectation. If you're looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place to leave your dog--whether for the day or a longer stay--I couldn't recommend Pawadise Pet Sitting more highly.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Five Pups. The number of times my fiancé and I have had to work late or travel out of town last minute-- Arthur and Five Pups always comes through. They are so flexible, picking up and dropping off our little guys when we need and I never feel stressed about it. I provide their food and medications and feel comforted that they're in good hands. We get texts with lovely pictures of our babies playing (attached). I know they have a good time, because they literally run away from us and to the van, and never want to come home when they're being dropped off (*cries*). They're always home smelling fresh (and bathed), and exhausted from playing. Incredibly grateful to Five Pups and the top notch daycare and boarding. Highly highly recommended.

This is hands down the best dog daycare spot in DC!! We absolutely love sending Ruby, our 10 month…read moreold mini Australian Shepherd, there for the day. 5 reasons why you should send your dogs to them: 1. They take great care of the dogs and will send you pictures throughout the day so you can see how they're doing. I'm always jealous of Ruby because she's clearly having way more fun than me. 2. Your dog gets to run around OUTSIDE with other dogs during the day (weather permitting of course). I once asked how much time they spend outside and they made it clear that if it's uncomfortable for you to be outside (too cold, too hot, etc.) then it's uncomfortable for them to be outside and they bring them in. 3. Your dog will be super excited to see Arthur when he comes to pick them up so you know they love them and take care of them like they're their own. 4. Did I mention Arthur will come to you and pick up your dog?! We live in Columbia Heights for reference. 5. If you have a younger dog or a rescue that's the only dog in the house, it's a fantastic way for your dog to get in a whole day of socialization and playtime while you're at work. Especially if they're a pandemic baby! One last thing. When we first started sending her, we had lots of questions about the facilities (since they're in Indian Head, MD, we didn't really want to drive over there to check them out ourselves) and they took the time to answer every one. They clearly care about the health and safety of the dogs in their care and have invested time and money into their setup. I can't remember the details of all the recent upgrades. But I'm sure if you asked they'd be happy to share that info with you.
