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.

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!

Kim's still provides a wonderful service - the employees seem to actively care about my dog, and I receive daily email reviews of the walks. Recently, however, prices have increased (they are still within normal limits for dog walking in this area, but no longer the great deal they once were.) There has also been a fairly substantial shift in attitude. Kim's is no longer accommodating to changes in schedule, and the warm, friendly tone I'd come to expect in communication with Kim herself has disappeared. I still absolutely trust Kim and her staff to care for my dog, and plan to continue using their service, as my dog truly likes the people who walk him. I am sad to have to update my glowing review, but with the recent changes, they are not what they once were. Original Review: Kim's has been walking my dog for two years now. Their rates are incredibly reasonable. Kim herself is wonderful, and made time to come see me 'off hours' to meet me and my dog - she was also the only dogwalker I could find in the area who was willing to work with an at times aggressive dog (every other company I contacted immediately said 'no, we don't do that.') My dog, who is very shy and scared around new people, took to her immediately, and was loving on her within about ten minutes. At first, she walked him exclusively, since he did so well with her. I was nervous when she asked if she could try him with someone else, but it went very well. I think there are three different people who walk him now, and he's never had an incident with any of them. She is thoughtful and accommodating - I'm a teacher and she is very understanding when I need to reschedule or cancel last minute due to sick days or snow days. The people she hires are high-quality and I feel so comfortable leaving my dog in their care (I've had very negative experiences with boarding other animals with other conpanies before, but I never worry when he's with Kim.) I really can't recommend them enough - they will look after your pet as though s/he is their own, they are professional and responsible, and leaving my dog in Kim's gives me such peace of mind.
