Not willing to try to find a win-win situation in a difficult position and will ignore you if you have a concern or question things in their contract.

I'll be sure to pass on to my military family because we don't need the added stress in an already stressful situation. Would give zero stars if it were an option.

When last week's storm blew down 10 panels of stockade fence, Dawn and her son helped put them back up while I was at work so that my dogs could have their yard back! Another example of Dawn's amazing customer service: 2 weeks ago she picked up 2 dogs from the scene of a car accident when the owner (her client) got into an accident. If that isn't someone you would want to let in your home and take care of your fur children....who is? I've recommended her to two of my neighbors when they needed an overnight sitter and both were very happy with the level of care she provided for their dog and cat.

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!

I was…read morein a pickle because our usual vet is out of town and my dog's daily prescription medication was running out. I needed to get it filled before they returned, but after calling several vets in the area, I wasn't finding anyone willing to help--which was both scary and frustrating. When I called here, the staff was absolutely wonderful. They spoke with me kindly, calmed my fears, and assured me they would help me find a solution. They even fit me in for a same-day appointment. We met with Dr. Nickens, who was absolutely amazing--so gentle with my dog (who is usually very fearful and nervous). He did so well with her! She gave him a thorough check-up, offered helpful instructions on controlling his weight (he's a little heavier than he should be!), and provided a prescription to get us through the next few weeks. She was attentive, patient, and took her time going over everything with me--I never felt rushed. I am beyond grateful for their kindness and the way they cared for my dog. I wouldn't hesitate to return in the future. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! Sandi D.

They are knowledgeable about pets. They are professional and thorough in communicating with us. We couldn't hope for better service providers. And we will use them in the future. The set up is easy. You call, schedule a meetup (for the dog walker & the pups), talk about needs and expectations. We provided access. And the contract was easy to understand. Our dog walker, Doris, even tried brushing out our heavily shedding chow mix who does not like being brushed. She found with a little food and sweet coaxing that our pup would tolerate a little brushing.

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.

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.
