They came highly recommended from Walking the Dogs, our previous pet-sitter in Burke. They came to our house 4 times a day that week to check in on the dogs. Walk, feed, water, play. We have 2- a Frenchie and an English bulldog. Both with varying degrees of anxiety that makes it impossible to board them. So, an in-home sitter/daily visitor is the best option for them when we have to leave them. The Creature Comfort staff is amazing. We had about an hour long introduction/interview with Anna (one of the Co-Principals). She came to our house, met the dogs, learned all the ins and outs of their routine. She was a pleasure to talk to. Then the week we were gone came and went and it was as if it never happened. At least to the dogs. They saw many of the walkers that week from Olivier, Karin, and a few others. They made so many friends. We will definitely use them again when we go on vacation. And highly recommend them to anyone else in Fairfax who may be in our same situation where boarding is just not an option. If we made more money a month, we'd probably even hire them regularly for dog walks!

Highly recommend for any busy household with dogs looking to reclaim a little more time and sanity.

The below conversation basically confirms the lack of customer service ive been referring to. I…read morehave been contacted by the owner of the company and will report the issue to the better business bureau. As a consumer, I do not appreciate being told that my reviews are slanderous or for the owner to continue going back and forth with me over an issue I had, while still not addressing the issues I had as a consumer. Below is the correspondence that I received from the owner. Note to all: read your contract. I'm not disputing this company's billing policy, but know that you will be charged for services prior to actually having the service and if the services are cancelled (whether by the company or you) you will not receive a refund but a credit. Just be forewarned. ******* Honestly Tracy, If you update it or not that is up to you. All the info about those policies is public on our website and clients sign our agreement before they begin service so if they do not like that aspect they know from the beginning. I do not need further response I just wanted to make sure your comment on us not refunding your money was not something out of our policies as your review makes it sound as if we just took your money for nothing. As I have reviewed your account it does not appear we took any money beyond the services you requested. Your account has been closed and we wish you the best. Thanks, Your Dog Smiles Pet Services ******* I will review the contract and if it states no refunds then I will indicate that however I will not retract my review. There are others that may be looking for a service and not like this aspect and as a consumer I want other consumers to be forewarned. As a customer/consumer of your services, I feel that yet again this is a back and forth issue rather than a business handling an issue that a customer stated. The facts are the facts and if I feel a certain way about an issue and let you(the business) aware of it, rather than go back and forth about the specifics, recognize that that is your practice and you won't change it and that I (as a consumer) will take my business elsewhere to accommodate my needs. This is not personal and as I stated before, I have had wonderful experiences with the sitters with this company. I'm just not keen on the billing, and if that's something in writing then I have the choice and option to take my business elsewhere. Thank you very much for being prompt in your response. I will update my review to include that this info was in my contract (upon second review) and update that aspect accordingly. ******* Yes that is what we do. It's on our website and in our agreement that you signed. And your credit was used in future services. I am sorry but that is not what your review says. In fact I consider what your review says to be slander. ******* Hi Colleen, You didn't hold the deposit but I paid for service that wasn't rendered due to weather and when I requested a refund was told only credit was given. ******* Hi Tracy, Please see below and attached photo. I don't see that we ever help any deposit for any of your services.

But being very pregnant I couldn't and room him here, he didn't even cry when going and was not trying to run out the door when being picked up. Now our second doggy is a puppy, from day one they have been super sweet, even taken videos to show me how his grooming is going. Then i also took him to daycare once in a while he he got older and will continue. They truly are excited to see the doggies :) the rates are reasonable, the staff is very nice and the place is very clean and nice. Normally i would groom my doggy but he enjoys it there so why not. They are much faster than me as well plus he gets doggy daycare so that's probably why lol

The dog monitors just sit on their phone all day, not monitoring the dogs, and only lift a finger once dogs start physically fighting, and then its right back to their phones.

Having no trusted friends or relatives nearby, we were a little apprehensive about leaving our senior cat, Raven, with a pet sitter. However, once I met Golie, I knew that Raven was in great hands and my worry was gone. Golie far surpassed our expectations - and that is saying a lot! My husband and I are difficult to impress when it comes to our cat because we worry about her so much. Golie came prepared to our consultation meeting with all the right questions to ask and took notes the entire time. I had prepared a list of things to tell her, but didn't even need the list because she knew exactly what to ask! I knew that Raven would be in great hands. Thank you, Golie!

I met Golie while she was walking a dog in my former neighborhood. Based on the 10 minutes I spent…read morewith her I knew that she would be my dog sitter. I only had to sell my condo, find a house with a yard & adopt two dogs from the Humane Society. In the meantime, I ran into the owner of the dog she was walking & he gave her glowing reviews & her contact info. After I moved, I adopted my dogs & was ready to go on my pre--arranged vacation. I contacted Golie who did a home visit to meet my two pooches. Her professionalism & motivation was evident from the start. When I explained that Chico had to take several meds for his heart, she didn't flinch. I told her that Jesse had peed all over the doctors office when he was supposed to be providing moral support for Chico. She laughed & said "there are different forms of moral support." She is able to turn every instance into a positive even when I make fun of my dogs. They immediately loved her & I felt so confident to leave them in her very capable hands. I went overseas & Golie sent daily updates with pictures of their progress. They were hooked on the attention, love & care that she provided. When I returned she stopped by my house to pick up something & they sat at her feet while I stood on the opposite side of the kitchen. When I remarked on how attached they were next to her, she responded that she was there temporarily. She has taken care of very special needs pets without hesitation. When she tells me what she has to do with some I am astonished. She says "it's my job." Without hesitation I would recommend Golie to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Woof--woof

I was looking for a trainer for my dog and this company advertised "positive reinforcement". Turns…read moreout that it was false advertising to get more customers. They use choke collars and leash yanking on pretty much every single dog that comes through the door. I was really angry to have wasted my time and money since I'm not about to start choking my dog into "a better relationship" with me. Honesty obviously isn't Amanda's policy. A while after my unfortunate experience with this company, they started spamming Craigslist every single day, the section that's put aside strictly for placing dogs for adoption. Apparently, breaking the website's rules to spam the section to find homeless dog homes with their business ads is more important than finding these dogs homes. Not only that, but their two positive reviews read like they were written by the same person and low and behold, they were published on the same exact date by two users with no other reviews. What a "coincidence".

It was important to us to find someone patient and kind, and listens to us with our concerns, we found that here. Although our husky hated the experience, it went better than we all thought (based on his notes from his last few vet visits while with the in-laws) - Dr Goodridge was also pleasantly surprised based on the notes the previous vet had sent over. Dr Goodridge was gentle and patient with him, even as his large form tried to crawl under the plastic chair I was sitting in. She spent a good amount of time with us and that stood out to me - not feeling rushed, listening to us, not getting annoyed as our dog tried to find any way to get out of there, which caused us to probably take up more of her time. Both Dr Goodridge and all of the staff were so welcoming to both us and our dog, we're excited to have established a vet for our Husky.
