They make it really easy to reschedule or cancel services. They were also not put off by my dog's special needs. I really enjoy getting his "report card" at the end of walks and picture updates.

We were really concerned about our 12 year old cat while we were away for a week. He basically has…read morenever been alone before. So we contacted Sampson Smiles to look after him and we are so happy that we did! Diana was terrific. She was so conscientious and reliable. She sent pictures of Freddie with each visit and a summary of how he was doing. Made us feel so much better about leaving him at home. And the communication was excellent. We could not be more pleased with her services. Thank you, Diana, for taking such good care of our little guy!

And I love that she thinks of ways to play with pets who don't like to be touched. She made sure to bring a laser toy to play with and I'm sure that made a huge difference in our cat growing accustomed to Diana. The notes on each visit provided reassurance that our cat was well taken care of while we were away.

We just started using Becky's Pet Care this year - the initial meet and greet visit was very…read morethorough, and I appreciated that the notes from the meet and greet were posted on our profile. Excellent transparency. Our senior cat requires medication, no one at the service blinked an eye, they handle that all the time. Instructions were also logged in our profile so any/all caregivers could see. We tried a short weekend away first, were very pleased. Then we took a full week's vacation, and are now huge fans. We enjoy the online journals and photos of our cat, which include time-stamping and any concerns. Changing the length of the trip was super easy using the online scheduling, and when I've called the office, they've been very responsive.

After calling I was told that I was no longer a customer. The only reason I got was because my previous trip they had a hard time finding people to visit my pets. This makes me uncomfortable as you end up with a different person each day. Not the original person who we met and went over the house with. So I am actually glad I am not with them anymore, but it would been nice for them to reach out to me before I tried to book.

I contacted Wags 4 Walks on Wednesday about cat sitting for an upcoming vacation 1 month from now…read more Explained my situation to Brian, my need for cat sitting (20 min visit every 2-3 days), and provided my address. He said I was just a bit out of their service area, but he could make it work based on our flexibility with days. We scheduled the initial meetup on Saturday, and he says he's right outside. I text him because no one is on the driveway, and even send him the address again. He texts back that he thought no one was home (2 cars in the driveway and I confirmed we were home just 20 min before). And he cancels saying we are 30 min away from his farthest client. Randomly, he texts me 3 images of dogs and cats for no reason. With today's technology, he could have Googled my address and known the distance from me to his next client without having to drive it. I can understand if we were located way outside of his service area, but either the service map is out of date, or Brian just doesn't care to be professional about declining service. He should have notified us with a phone call instead of a random text message 10 minutes after our appointment saying, "It didn't look like anyone was home.". It seems professionalism and courtesy are seriously lacking for this company. I would not recommend Wags 4 Walks to anyone since Brian was not honest with us in any way.

Brian is super responsive and respectful. It was so hard to find a dog walker just because my dog…read moregets super scared in the beginning, we did a greet and meet.

This…read morewas our first boarding experience, so we were understandably a bit nervous, but Moe and Elodie quickly put us at ease. They were professional and provided timely responses to all of our questions. While we were out of town, they regularly sent us photos and updates so we knew Sami was well taken care of. And Leila was such a gracious host to share her home for a long weekend. Can't recommended them enough. So glad we found them. We'll definitely be using Leila Knows Best the next time we travel.

I wish there were more stars to give on this review for Leila Knows Best!…read more My Sansa is a 10 month old Soft Coated Wheaten terrier. The breed is known to be highly intelligent. Her trainer tells me that she is very stubborn with extremely high energy. She is also rebellious and constantly pushing boundaries to see what she can get away with. And I adore her. Sansa was badly injured by her first groomer at age 14 weeks, and had to have emergency surgery, plus 6 weeks of heavy sedation so she could recover. As a result she is now anxious all the time. She is jumpy and scared and ready to bite the hand that wants to leash her-mine! I had left her with a dog sitter for a weekend in September and then reserved the same sitter for the first week of November. I think that the sitter was too polite to tell me that she didn't want to deal with my Cujo-style dog. She called about 12 hours before she was supposed to show up and backed out. I am glad she did because that lead me to Elodie and Moe-"Leila Knows Best", who are THE PERFECT dog sitters. They treated Sansa like she was their own. I know how disruptive she can be, yet they never complained. She was genuinely happy there. I had to extend my trip by two nights and they accommodated her without fussing, hemming or hawing. I received several updates for the 8 days that I was away. They took her to the waterfront to play, for several walks a day and even pulled out a crate for her to sleep in because that's what she is trained to do. I didn't have to lug her crate over. Their place is spotless. They have a beautiful pooch called Leila who seems calm and well trained. Sansa clearly enjoyed her stay with aunty Elodie and Uncle Moe! To Elodie and Moe-I cannot thank you enough! I hope you'll agree to take her again. (Not soon because as Moe said-she is a dog and a half). Lol She is in puppy kindergarten now and should be much easier next time!! If you want someone you can trust with your canine baby, look no further. .

I have used Alexandria Pet Care a few times now, since the people who used to watch my cats moved…read moreout of the area. The team that handles my visits have been wonderful. It is apparent they love pets and ensuring their proper care. The reports I receive after each visit put my mind at ease, particularly since one of my kitties is wary of people she doesn't (and, at times, does) know. I also enjoy the photos. The app that APC uses is a user-friendly interface that allows you to handle virtually all business with APC, and the team sends reminders to confirm the scheduled visits a couple or more days prior. As others have commented, make no mistake about it: the services cost and sometimes, the sticker shock gets me, particularly considering the circumstances for the visit. There is a weekend charge, per day, per pet, and a holiday fee, per day, per pet whenever there is a holiday or it's APC's dedicated holiday season. While I expect to pay to have someone briefly interrupt their own holiday plans to handle the things with my kitties that I cannot, boy oh boy does it add up and quickly. A loyal customer discount or customer appreciation savings here and there would definitely be welcomed! That said, I know I can leave my pets in good, competent hands and that my home is secured, as well. They will tend to plants and pick up the mail, if you ask, and they do leave things orderly. I love the notes, the pictures, and the care they show my pets. I know they have been kind to my pets and that's the most important thing to me. I definitely recommend and will use again.

Their live-streaming cameras let me check in on him during daycare play sessions and while he's relaxing in his suite, which gives me incredible peace of mind. The facility itself feels more like a luxury hotel than a kennel, and the team genuinely loves what they do. It's clear they care deeply for every pet in their care. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate place to leave your pet while you're away, I wholeheartedly recommend OTPR. Their prices are competitive, and their amenities far exceed any other facility I've visited in the DMV. #GiveThemATry
