We have been using Danny's Pet Care for two years, we have had ONLY AMAZING experiences with him…read moreand his sitters: Danny, Elise, Ben all took such incredible care of our fur baby and we are so grateful to them for loving him like we do. Their prices are incredibly fair, they are super reliable, go above and beyond for customer service, and keep our place super clean. I literally don't know how they could be better. They have made so many stressful moments better by stepping in to help us when we were in a bind. If you're looking for good pet sitters this is your place!!!

As a foster for a local rescue organization, I want to ensure I do right by my dogs as I prepare…read morethem for adoption. My most recent foster was a young male fox-hound mix from a rural rescue. This beautiful, spirited pup was a handful, and he and I needed help... immediately! Lily from Happy Planet Petcare was recommended by people at my local dog park; I am so happy we found her. Lily uses positive, rewards-based training. My foster pups' particular needs were: pulling hard on walks, being constantly distracted, no recall, jumping on people out of excitement, being barky, and chewing whatever came near his mouth at home. Lily achieved drastic improvements on all fronts. As well as her professional accreditations and hands-on experience, she is currently pursuing a master's degree in animal behavior. That was one of the things that attracted me to her services, a passion rather than a job. Lily is articulate and explains behaviors, often from the dog's perspective, which is so helpful. Her goal was for me to have a fun relationship with my dogs. I feel confident about transferring what I learned to the other foster dogs I host. I highly recommend Lily and Happy Planet Petcare.

They are beyond reliable and have become like a second family to our dog. When Scooter was sick and we needed an emergency visit, Andrea was incredible and handled everything. They leave the best notes and pictures after each visit - which are the highlight of our day. If there was an award for best dog service in the city - they hands down deserve it. :) We could not praise District Dog Walkers more!!!!!!

This company does not do 30 mins dog walking. We paid them to do 30 mins. They have cheated…read moreseveral time. Most average time they walk the dog on 10 t0 15 mins. Sometimes 20 mins. The manager is not a trustable and careless about dogs. Mark does not really get involved much to see how things going. Only get message from manager. I would like not recommend them. We are happy with another company and no issue since. They also included taking pictures, videos and tracking map of dog walking.

We use Mike to walk our dogs and he has been the absolute best. He's super reliable, really…read moreorganized (he leaves a monthly sheet at your house where he keeps notes on his daily walks with your dogs, and is always reaching out if there are any issues, federal holidays coming up, etc) accepts payment through Venmo or Paypal (remembering to get cash for our old dog walker was always a pain and he's great with reminding you how much you owe each month) and incredibly flexible (which has been amazing with a baby who has picked up every illness at daycare - he's super gracious about same-day cancellations). 100% recommend! Wish we had found him earlier.

Mike is absolutely the best. He was referred by a friend who had great things to say about him and…read moreI have personally referred him to several others. We moved every year all over NW DC and made sure Mike was able to still be our walker before I signed on the dotted line. I'm obsessed with my dog and had to be sure Mike could still be our guy - he's that good. Mike was flexible if I needed to work late to swing by and help me out. He covered on weekends too. He had someone all lined up in case he was sick or needed a vacation and always told me well in advance when possible. He's a true professional. My dog absolutely loves him! I think that's what matters most to me. Mike was prompt, responsible, reasonably priced, patient if I forgot to leave the check, responsive to my emails, attentive when my dog had an upset stomach (I asked him many times to "check the consistency"), kept great and clear records of his walks and my dog's bathroom habits and all around made my life easier. Mike may have made my life easier, but he made my boy's day every day. He is a healthier, happier dog which makes me a happier dad. We moved away from DC and have yet to find a replacement that even comes close. If you're in DC and even considering a dog walker you have found the right guy!

We came in and learned that they offer a free puppy play time, and free samples of frisbees, snacks, and training pads. They also offered a broad range of toys and treats that kept our teething puppy happy and their staff provided us with some fantastic recommendations. The biggest drawback to Metro Mutts is hat it is not the most accessible place and that as a boutique, it is priced well above other stores or Amazon. All the same, it's worth a visit.

My dog had such a great time here!…read more A little backstory. My Olde English bulldog had ACL and patella surgery almost four weeks ago. He isn't putting much weight on the leg yet and it still can be tender. PPC scheduled a google conference call with me ($5 to avoid no shows) to get details on what he needs during a groom. I spoke with Melissa and let her know my concerns about putting weight on and to stress that the groomer needs to be gentle with his leg. She assured me everything will go at my dog' pace and even let me check him in at the front door as stairs can be difficult still. I went ahead and booked the appointment, and am so happy I did. Drop off was very easy and convenient for me to drop off early morning and go back home to take meetings. I picked up my dog a few hours later. He was clean, smelled great and was so happy! I received his report card later that evening and was pleasantly surprised to see how detailed it was and that 4 wonderful people were involved with the grooming. Especially thankful for the time it took to sand his toes on his bum leg!! My dog had such a great time there he was worn out the rest of the day. I know he can't wait to go back! Thanks so much Patrick's pet care, Melissa, Jerniece, Mea and Andrew for the great experience! Burrito loved it there!! I can't say enough good things about our first experience at Patrick's Pet Care!
