She came over to meet my clan (now she refers to them as "her squad"!) and they loved her. She has great energy and a visible passion for animals. I went out of town for the weekend, and she sent me a ton of pictures of my babies when she went to my house. She even left me notes about her visits. I trust almost no one to take care of my babies as well as I do, and Jinna definitely did. She will be my only pet sitter!

She's been the best dog walker in our entire building for YEARS!! I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, amazing, fun, and reliable dog walker!

OMG Judy & her team at Dog Plus / Judy's Grooming are the absolute best!…read more My dogs were terrified about grooming, and Judy turned that all around. No anxious, drooly drives to and from the groomer's shop. No sitting all day in cages listening to high-powered dryers and barking dogs. Gone are the "additional" vaccines given each time - kennel cough, flu...and every other unnecessary shot. By the time I picked up the dogs they were so stressed and drooling the entire way home. It was such an awful cycle. My dogs are happier, cleaner, healthier...I even peeked into Judy's van and found her singing to my dog and telling him how pretty he was!! Too cute - Judy and her team are the best there is!

We have used Judy for the past 3-4 years as a groomer for our springer spaniel dog. Judy has years…read moreof experience, including a long stint at Old Dominion Animal Center, with all breeds and temperaments and truly cares for her "clients" and the work she does. Our pup always is relaxed and comes out happy and clean and well trimmed. Judy now has her own mobile service and will travel to you! I believe she is operating in the Falls Church and McLean areas, but not sure beyond that. I highly recommend her, the price is incredibly reasonable, she is experienced, she loves and cares for the animals and is ALWAYS pleasant to talk to. The mobile unit is BRAND NEW and clean and just amazing! I hope you will support this local business.

If you live in the Mosaic District and surrounding area and are in need of a dog walker/pet sitter,…read moreI would highly recommend Brittney! We were in need of a pet sitter for a day since we would be out for several hours and felt guilty living our Goldendoodle, Winnie at home by herself for a majority of the day. Winnie also got along with her two Golden Retrievers, Blue and Watson and was worn out all day from playing with them so much since they all shared the same energy level. Brittney is insured and bonded (always an important factor!), and all of her services include: time stamps, GPS tracking, report cards, and updates through photos! Her pricing is competitive for the area and she also offers new client and referral discounts. She also has a free consultation prior to understand your dog's needs and to answer any questions you may have.

I don't really know how to impress upon the rest of the world just how deeply Brittney and Blue Paw…read moreDog Walks have impacted my life in such a positive way, but I'll try. Brittney has been there every step of the way in my doggo journey - literally from the beginning! She was a wealth of dogmom knowledge and helped me navigate the crazy-scary-wonderful life adjustments I went through during the adoption process (shoutout to Lost Dog & Cat Rescue!). It gave me HUGE peace of mind knowing I could rely on Blue Paw if something ever came up at work or if I had to go out of town. She keeps me up-to-date on pretty much everything that happens, when it happens (including "report cards" - see attached photo!). I'm going to call it like I see it, because I live it - as a milennial professional in the NoVA area, I want to "have my cake and eat it, too" - I want to kick ass in my career but I also want to have an adorable furbaby and take care of him way better than I take care of myself. I don't want him home for 8+ hours a day without a good break. If I can't make it home for a midday walk myself, I know Brittney is able to save the day. I trust her completely - Cooper (my doggo) absolutely loves her, so much so that sometimes I worry he loves her more than me! But I have to admit that if he does, it's because she totally deserves it. Sidenote: I'm a brand new doggo owner, first time ever, and Brittney knows exactly how to make me feel better while I'm somewhere else feeling guilty I can't walk Cooper myself. She sends me plenty of photos and videos (once we even videochatted while I was overseas and homesick for my puppy!). This is also the perfect time to note that Brittney should maybe think about running a puppy photography shoot side gig, because her photos are basically professional quality. I'm just flabbergasted every time I open a new message and see Cooper looking like a model (see attached photo as proof!). It always puts a smile on my face when I get a message from Blue Paw! I am a loyal customer through and through.

She really lit up when she met the puppies - they took to her immediately - hugging her legs. When we came home, the puppies were happy to see us but still cycled to her for cuddles. She spoiled them with attention, cuddles & walks. She adapted well to the various oddities of our house & routines of the dogs. We're planning on a trip in a couple of months & booked now to be sure she'd be available. Finding her has been a big load off my mind.

My picky little maltipoo would even hide under the bed at first when she arrived, and snap at strangers, and Sherri patiently waited with him until he became comfortable with her. He loves her. Great communication, reliable, and flexible. I started teleworking during the pandemic and no longer need walks; it's a pity because we LOVED Sherri.

I've been through numerous dog walkers, from private to large companies. They have always been a disappointment and terrible experience. On the other hand, Sherry has been so great with the dogs - they love her. She made me feel so at ease and I could trust her completely. The best part is, she would text me everyday with a picture and a description of how the walk went. Whenever I requested anything, Sherry was patient, flexible and understanding. She even came twice a day when Milo was a young puppy to let him out. She has by far the BEST service hands down. We are planning to move back to Arlington soon, and we will be requesting Sherry without a doubt!

Danielle is friendly and reliable and most of all - she does a great job. We always go with a short cut on our Maltese for ease of maintenance and Danielle's cuts are very consistent. Our dog always looks the same, which is a big positive in my book. Other groomers have delivered inconsistent looks when we simply wanted the same haircut. The convenience of the mobile service is hard to beat too. It's a little more expensive than service at a brick and mortar building, but it's worth it in my opinion. You won't regret going with this business for your furry friend's grooming needs. Highly recommended. ***In the post-grooming photo of my pup, he'd had a recent vet procedure that resulted in a stitch in his forehead and a partially shaved right leg. Danielle was careful and attentive***

Okay, obviously having the grooming van come to your door is incredibly convenient. What you might…read morenot realize, it minimizes a huge amount of stress! Most groomers do multiple dogs at once--and your dog sits in a cage in the meantime. Not great. Maria is working with just one dog --yours--from start to finish--so it's way less stress for your baby. I should also mention that Maria is the best, kindest, most competent dog groomer in the DMV. Full stop. If you have a small dog, don't even *think* about going anywhere else! Not only will your furbaby be gorgeously groomed, you will have the peace of mind of knowing he is being cared for by 1) someone who genuinely loves dogs, and 2) is also incredibly talented and experienced. I don't trust my little guy with anyone but Maria.
