They are great about being flexible with last minute requests. They send text and picture reports daily which is very comforting.

I wish I could take them with me!

Absolutely recommend TDW to care for your loved ones like their own.

Because of my telework schedule, I've been home when she comes to get my girl for her walk. My pup starts looking at the door and whining about 30 minutes before her arrival and goes crazy when she sees her buddy. I am so grateful I have someone trustworthy and fur baby approved for my girl. Amy is amazing! I adopted a 18 lb rescue Terrier Mix and was not prepared for keeping her home during the work days for two weeks while her vaccines kicked in. Amy jumped in to help. She is flexible to assist with last minute schedule changes. Being military, I appreciated Amy's military family background because she understands my unique challenges and also can get on base with no problem. She even brought a harness when my little escape artist needed it. I trust her completely and am bummed she won't be going with us when we move in January. My puppy loves her, too, and can't wait for Miss Amy to visit!

We left them in charge of our pets for 8 days. They came out and spent about an hour with me…read moregoing over everything before we left, and I sent detailed written instructions to them days before the trip, asking for questions. I left printed instructions on the counter as well. We have 8 indoor cats and 3 large long haired dogs. 2 of the cats are on daily medicine. There were a total of 3 visits a day, totaling 2 hours each day. We paid up front for the visits, as is their policy. We also had a friend stopping in to play with the dogs during this time, for extra attention and exercise. There are 3 major and 2 minor issues that we experienced. 1) They did not clean up the yard when the dogs pooped in it, even after it was brought to their attention. 2) They did not alert me to the fact that my friend was leaving the house unlocked when she visited, until day 7 of an 8 day contract. 3) One of my cats did not get medicated daily. In addition to the one time the sitter said she was unable to catch her, I found a pill on the counter, and one on the floor in another room when I got home. 4) They did not bring the mail in. When I asked about it, they said they couldn't see how to open the box. They never asked where the key was and forgot that I'd pointed it out on the front door. 5) The house was filthy when we got home. Mud, dirt, and pet hair everywhere, dried urine on the floor in many places. I showed them where the cleaning supplies were as well as writing that in the instructions. I wasn't expecting a maid service, but nor was I expecting a huge mess that had me breaking out the vacuum and mop at 1:30 am when I got home. This business is in the process of changing hands. I found that out when I reached out to the owner after I'd calmed down a little. The person taking it over is one of the sitters who was in our house. So I told her what my issues were. I did not feel that she took responsibility for them as a business owner should. She said she wouldn't send the other girl next time. I told her I didn't think there was going to be a next time. There were other things, as well, like the alarm getting set off the first day because my instructions weren't followed, the dog's water fountain gave one of the sitters a ton of problems, although there was nothing wrong with it that we could see and I had showed them how to manage it. I think they sent someone who was not qualified and didn't have a lot of common sense.

You get alerts by text when dog walk starts and stops, assuring you that your pup has gotten out for the time you requested. And you get a mid walk picture of your doggy, which is always fun too! Most importantly, I trust Brenda with my dogs life. You never expect the worst to happen, but sometimes it does. While on vacation last year, one of my dogs was not acting his normal self, and went from sick to critical condition in a short amount of time. Brenda picked up on this immediately, and took my dog to the vet, and then transferred him to vet hospital after my vets office closed. Brenda kept me updated throughout this whole process and I just cannot thank her enough for all of her help! Above and beyond! Great company, Brenda is obviously doing what she loves.

They are 100% dependable and treat our home and pets like their own. We have had three medium to large dogs and one cat for much of the last 2.5 years that we have used them. We rescued our young pit mix just before we moved to this area. She had NO training and was very reactive, with a strong prey drive when we got her, but Cindy and her team were able to manage her during her training. We also adopted our Doberman puppy just after moving here as well, and they were able to accommodate twice daily walks for us initially during her housebreaking, and have been able to handle this rambunctious girl as well. Our senior cat, who has since passed, was a timid girl; but based on the photos Cindy posted, her midday friends quickly gained her trust and affection. We have used them the entire time we have lived in VB, mainly for 3-4 midday dogs walks per week. They have offered the peace of mind and dependability we need, whether we are at work or out of town. We often have last minute schedule changes or unusual requests and they have always been able to accommodate us. In addition, their prices are very affordable, and their communications are always prompt. In regards the negative comments from the previous client- Cindy may be soft spoken and straight forward, but she has never been rude; she is a kind hearted, gentle person who always has her clients and pets needs in mind. Also, as far as their communications and alerts about anything seemingly off about pets- as a pet owner I **greatly** appreciate when our walkers alert us to any potential medical concerns, along with any behavioral issues that pop up. I can tell by the notes they leave in the pet journal that they know each of our pet's normal behaviors and their individual funny quirks. Also, we have never had any concerns about the walkers sticking to the prearranged time window.
