Greg and his team were always professional and caring with our senior foxhound. She was excited for…read moretheir visits whether it was a trot through the neighborhood or a sniffing of the front lawn. They tailored their visits to her preferences and abilities. They sent summaries and fun pictures of their adventures. She had a major seizure during a visit. Her walker contacted me immediately, and Greg made arrangements for her other walks to allow her to be with my dog while I could get there. Her walker provided amazing care to my dog and a detailed account to the vet. They were dedicated and supportive on a most difficult day. I recommend them highly.

Untangled Leashes is AMAZING! If I could, I'd give this 1,000,000 STARS!…read more POSITIVES: 1. Walks are 15-25 minutes each day with lots of interaction with the dog walker so these are happy pups! 2. I get tons of photos via text and email of their walks each day which are time stamped. 3. Dog walkers are extremely reliable and on time. 4. Easy online portal which allows you to make easy changes to the schedule and also provides a report card of how they handled their business and any pertinent information. 5. They always give the dogs water before and after their walk and a treat if you request they provide one of your treats. 6. Very responsive at all hours including weekends, especially when you have a last minute situation that comes up and need a dog walker. 7. Easy and accurate weekly billing. NEGATIVES: None. BONUS: Melissa also went the extra mile and corrected some of the bad behaviors that the dogs picked up from a previous, less competent dog walker. The dog walkers are dog lovers and you can tell that they love what they do. I highly recommend them for your fur babies - I promise you won't be disappointed!

Kat was phenomenal and I loved the updates that were made available through the app, email, or text.

If you're looking for reliable, friendly, efficient, and communicative care for your pets, this is a great place!

I saw he was recommended on my neighborhood's mailing list so I gave them a call. When I contacted working walks, the owner Dave came by with the walker who would be caring for my dog. They both sat with me and my dog to understand what challenges I wanted to work on and shared their impressions. Then we went on a walk together and they asked me to point out behaviors I'd like to see improve. Dave and his well qualified walker listened and started working on calm greeting of other dogs and sitting before crossing streets. I saw results almost immediately on my walks, and that's continued to today (over a year later!) I can't recommend Dave and his walkers enough, he bends over backwards to make sure your dogs needs and your scheduling needs are met. Oh yeah, he also has an incredible boarding service.

I used Time For A Walk for a handful of visits over Christmas. The office assistant, Sharon, was…read morevery responsive and also did our client consultation and was a pleasure to work with. My dog's sitter came reliably and I appreciated that he was clearly genuine and honest (ie for one walk he mentioned that Brody mostly sniffed around rather than covered much distance, which is totally true and showed me that I wasn't just getting a canned message about his walk). The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is how tedious the client registration process was. After my initial email inquiry, I was sent a 15 page document to complete, scan, and send back- all before even confirming my service requests were doable or answering my questions about how billing would work. I know there are online portals for walk services that might have made getting set up a little more convenient, and which allow for email walk messages rather than the paper and pen notepad messages. But again, no complaints about the staff or service that would prevent me from recommending this business- just some opportunities for the client-side experience.

I have two very high maintenance dogs that require a lot of patience and understanding, which Maggie is never short of! She understands that the dogs require time to warm up, and that they both have good days and bad days just like us.

She's easy to get a hold of (for scheduling changes), her portal is easy to use, and she's a pleasure to work with! Her prices are also hard to beat!

We need a pet sitter for our two dogs for our holiday vacation and found Gabriela (owner) and her…read moreBurke Centre Pet Sitting company on line. We contacted her through email and got a quick response and she did a very thorough and complete consult to ensure our needs were met by her and her team. We met a few days before our departure which was day after Christmas. Within two days of our consult, one of our dogs became ill and had to be hospitalized during Christmas Eve due to reaction to a pain medication and was discharged Christmas Day. We contemplated canceling our vacation but didn't and relied on Gabriela and her team to take care of our dog while she recovered (slowly). She needed medications, extra attention, as well as taking care of another dog while we were away for 5 days. We almost canceled our trip but glad we didn't as Burke Center Pet Sitting took care of our fukids and helped our sick one recover during our absence. They communicated every day, checked in our dogs multiple times a day, dispensed medications, and cleaned up after a sick dog. Within the first day we were confident we made the right decision. I can go on about how great Burke Centre Pet Sitting is but the simplest way to put it is we put in their hands a dog that was hospitalized Christmas Eve and they were able to take care of her and make us comfortable to enjoy our vacation. I can't give any testimony better than that. If you are looking for a local (Fairfax/Burke area), professional, and caring Pet Sitting service Gabriela and Burke Centre Pet Sitting is the way to go. I'm so glad I found this company because we'll be a loyal customer for life.

I honestly was comfortable and was not worried when I dropped my pup off for a few days, and Myron always responded to my emails to let me know how she was doing.

I've been looking for a dogwalker in Alexandria, and really struggled to find one. Dogwalkers tend…read morenot to have personal websites, so you have to find them word of mouth. That's how I found Myron and Pawsitive Pets. Myron was helpful from the moment I called him. He really wanted to know my needs and my dog's needs. He then offered a variety of options that could work with my lifestyle. Even though, I initially was looking for someone to walk my dog, we figured out that our best option was for him to look after my pup at his house for 3-4 hours a day. Myron's got a big house, and a huge backyard filled with lots of doggie toys, and 8 foot tall cement walls, so you never have to worry about your dog escaping! I'm really happy with the service, and now my dog gets to socialize with lots of other dogs, gets trips to the dog park, and lots of outdoor exercise time! This is exactly what he needed!
