After investigating all my dog walking options, I decided to stay with the Brookland outlet of Saving Grace because I had such a good experience with my former location, they came highly recommended by some friends in the new 'hood, and the owners are sons of a former teacher of my children. Basically, I'm loyal and it's all about relationships. I have not been disappointed! Patrick and Adam have been great with my 2 dogs who have different needs. One is an active rescue mutt who loves a good long walk, and the other is an English Bulldog 1+ yr old puppy with lots of energy but not a lot of walking stamina who just recently had ACL and meniscus surgery! Saving Grace Brookland has been responsive, accommodating, flexible, and helpful in adjusting to our various needs over the past 9 months since we started with them. They are responsive to emails, and leave a daily update about their visit in a notebook at my house. Overall great, can't say enough nice things! Glad they are in the neighborhood for my doggos!

Saving Grace was recommended to me last year by a colleague and it was the best recommendation I've…read moregotten in a long time. These guys are the best! They are flexible, affordable, reliable and my dog loves them. I travel often and frequently on short notice, so Saving Grace has "saved" me many times from having to scramble to find boarding or forcing us to re-arrange our work schedule to look after our dog and cats. They have never let me down and are always quick to follow up with a response and confirmation. I would recommend Saving Grace to anyone.

Except, they didn't bother to call and tell me that and so I waited for the groomer to show up (for two days. she never did.) and was given all sorts of different stories each time I called to see what was going on. The first time I called the shop it was because the groomer was a bit late. The lady at the shop assures me the groomer will be there soon. Ok, no biggie. Two hours go by. Still no groomer. I'm an easy going gal but this is getting ridiculous. I call again. This time I'm told they have NO RECORD of my reservation. No name, address, dog info. Nothing. Um....what? I had literally JUST spoken with the same woman ABOUT my reservation. She had my info right in front of her. (Sh*t is about to get weirder folks)... The woman is incredibly rude and unapologetic. She literally says to me, "I don't know what to tell you. There's nothing we can do for you.". What?! Then she suggests I take a cab, with my two 100lb golden retrievers, to their shop for a groom. She offered to pay for the cab. I explain the reasons why my dogs need a groomer to come to the house. Mainly, I remind her that she JUST CONFIRMED my appointment in our prior call. She says she'll check with the mobile groomer and get back to me. Another hour goes by. No call from the shop. No groomer. I'm pissed. I call them again. They say they haven't heard from the groomer. They'll call her again and call me back. Guess what? Another hours goes by. No call, no groomer. I call them. They're CLOSED. I'm left with their voicemail system. Seriously? I leave a nice but to-the-point message saying that I'm still waiting for their groomer. I request a call from the manager. By noon the next day, I still have not heard from these people. And still no groomer. I call again and ask to speak with the manager. The same woman I spoke with yesterday gives a long sigh (still no apology) and explains that there's no way they can accommodate me at all because..... the groomer quit. Oooook? What?? At this point I begin to suspect that the mobile groomer quit long ago but they never attempted to tell me in the hope that I would just bring my dogs in to the shop. I again explain the reasons why I use mobile grooming in the first place and that I really don't want to give them my business but that I'm stuck with a Yelp deal. I plead with her to speak with her manager. She later emails me later requesting my mailing address so she can refund me by check (thank God). Guess what? 14 days later, three emails from me, and no check. No return email. No call. I'll be sure to update this review if I get anything from them but don't hold your breath. UPDATE: To give credit where credit is due, I received contact from two different owners or managers by email within hours of this review. They both apologized profusely and explained the mobile groomer quit without notice but that they should have handled the situation in a better and more timely fashion. They also assured me a refund would arrive soon and offered a discount if I return for services. I definitely appreciate the damage control.

Here is an update to my original review. As I said before,…read moreI LOVE my pet care team. Off Collar has been a God send for me. Yesterday I was diagnosed with the flu. Oh misery All it took was a text message to Lauren Flannigan (owner) and favorite pet sitter, to ask if she could help me out by taking my Mila for daycare. There was no hesitation on her part. She was here early this morning to pick her up and will have her back to me in the afternoon giving me the day to rest. She will do the same tomorrow. Even though we weren't scheduled for these days, she was very willing to help me out. If you need pet care and want the best for your four legged furry friend, you would be remiss in overlooking this amazing service. I have had dogs my whole life and excellent pet sitters are hard to come by.

They are easy to work with, friendly, and reliable. I can't recommend them more highly.

We were a bit over our heads after we adopted a super duper high-energy (and somewhat aggressive) dog and realized the daily walks that other local dog walking companies provided just weren't cutting the mustard. She needed some real exercise while we were at work during the week and Dog Gone Tired was able to finally give her an outlet for her energy. They'll take her running, roller blading or find a place for her to run around off-leash for a few hours...It has been so great knowing that our pooch is not only getting to live a more healthy, active life, but is also in the hands of people who genuinely care for her. I really couldn't ask for more and can't recommend them high enough. They're super flexible, have unbeatable prices and best of all are OUTSTANDING with our dog (who, um, has some issues)...Seriously, they are great people and real dog lovers. If you are on the market for a dog walker or someone to watch your pup while you're out of town, Shannon and Emily (the owners of Dog Gone Tired) will make sure your dog is happy, healthy and well-cared for like it was their own.

Shannon came out of nowhere and was able to coax and eventually capture the dog. I can tell from this brief interaction that Emily and Shannon care very deeply about Dogs, they could have easily ignored the situation but they chose to take action, and because of them a Dog was rescued and will spend tonight warm at home instead of outside in the cold. They are very good people and care about dogs- they were very knowledgeable about dogs- I am going to recommend them to all of my friends who need a dog sitter!

We've been using Wanderpups for cat-sitting for over 2 years and if I could give more than 5 stars,…read moreI would! Just a few of the reasons include: a) Easy booking through an online portal, which also allows you to create a detailed profile for your pet including info such as feeding schedules, medications, temperament, etc. b) Reasonable pricing. c) Excellent customer service and responsiveness to questions, schedule change requests, etc. d) Detailed updates after each cat-sit visit including photos. But the thing that really sets Wanderpups apart is the amazing care from their team of dedicated pet-sitters. Our cat is not the most cuddly or affectionate guy. He's wary of strangers. But we have been lucky enough to have a handful of repeat sitters, and each one has gone above and beyond to make friends and gain his trust. It has been amazing to see how much he has come out of his shell. Now, instead of hiding under the bed when they visit, he comes out to greet them, allows them to pet him, and gives them lots of headbutts (basically cat-speak for "I love you, you're my friend"). Wholeheartedly recommend!
