Mr. Myron is such a sweetheart - he boards the dogs in his own home in Old Town. He is extremely…read morepatient (even with my gazillion questions and very neurotic self), very gentle with the dogs, and is quite flexible with the pick-up and the drop-off dates - he works with you to see which time would be best, and his rates are definitely comparable, if not competitive, with other dog sitters in the NoVA area. I honestly was comfortable and was not worried when I dropped my pup off for a few days, and Myron always responded to my emails to let me know how she was doing. I highly highly highly recommend him, as he is really good as it gets. They also offer dogwalking services, too. +ask for Mr. Myron +farm trip during the summer

I've been looking for a dogwalker in Alexandria, and really struggled to find one. Dogwalkers tend…read morenot to have personal websites, so you have to find them word of mouth. That's how I found Myron and Pawsitive Pets. Myron was helpful from the moment I called him. He really wanted to know my needs and my dog's needs. He then offered a variety of options that could work with my lifestyle. Even though, I initially was looking for someone to walk my dog, we figured out that our best option was for him to look after my pup at his house for 3-4 hours a day. Myron's got a big house, and a huge backyard filled with lots of doggie toys, and 8 foot tall cement walls, so you never have to worry about your dog escaping! I'm really happy with the service, and now my dog gets to socialize with lots of other dogs, gets trips to the dog park, and lots of outdoor exercise time! This is exactly what he needed! Dog walks = $15 Half-Day Pupsitting = $20 Full Day Pupsitting = $30

What a scammer! I've used many dog boarding services before and this has to be the worst. If you…read morelove your dog, steer clear of Lisa. There are so many other options in the area with honest caring businesses. Lisa Meade is irresponsible and manipulative, to say the least, and retained my dog to leverage for more money. All the drama I experienced was frankly because Lisa forgot to pick up the check when she picked up the dog and demanded that I mail her a check over the Christmas weekend. I find it difficult to believe the other reviews considering my experience. Lisa wanted me to pay cash before I could even see my dog and check that my dog was happy and well. The truth was that she didn't even have my dog when I went to go pick her up! Moreover, she requested I pay $165 plus a late check fee, when the original contract I emailed her was for $120. Lisa kept making excuses for negotiating earlier pickup and later drop off fees and trying to charge extra for requests she made to suit her schedule. I understand that it was Christmas time and I am not concerned about the money as much as how manipulative Lisa was in the end. The day after Christmas, I went to go pick up my dog at her apartment, she said she wanted the cash even though a check was already en route, as clearly requested by Lisa. I already paid via check but I went to the bank to cancel the check right before attempting to pick up my dog. When I showed up, Lisa wasn't there at her apartment!! Then after numerous texts and phone calls, she asked me to leave the cash with the concierge and she would drop the dog off at my house later at 3PM. I refused, since I wanted to see my dog first before paying. Then, she suddenly appeared at her apartment complex and again demanded the cash, and I requested to see my dog first. She said she wanted to discuss the situation and I said we could when the police arrived. So she she stormed out of her apartment lobby. The police came shortly after and recommended I wait for her to return. After waiting 3 hours, I called the police again and the second time they knocked on her apartment door and apparently the dog was not even in the apartment this whole time!! Hence, even if I paid before seeing my dog, I still couldn't have gotten my dog back! Thanks to the Arlington police, I got my dog back later that evening, with a chewed up harness and missing name tag. Luckily, my dog didn't seem traumatized. Needless to say, if you love your dog, I strongly do not recommend this business.

I recently moved into a large complex in Arlington and was recommended to Lisa by management which…read moreby itself is an strong endorsement. My lab Jackson loves almost everyone however, I'm a tough sell. Lisa is good people. She is genuine, down to earth, real and clearly loves animals. We discussed her families history with dogs and her philosophy handling training etc. My gut said all green lights so I scheduled numerous visits right away, including consecutive visits where I was away to Florida overnight for business. I didn't see Jackson for about 36 hours, and during that time he was visited on schedule and fed as requested. He was his normal excited self when I got home which is all a dog owner can ask for when trusting someone else to watch after him. Today, I was home for lunch and happened to run into one of Lisa's walkers, the same who visited Jackson while I was away. He acts a certain way to strangers and a certain way to people he knows and likes. She got the later response; Jackson was very excited to see her and that to me was all the confirmation I needed to know about the kind of person Lisa sent to see my dog. Trusting someone with your dog is a big deal. A building complex recommending someone be allowed to watch after dogs in their complex is also a big deal. Even more, my building complex allows Lisa's service to come into this building and enter homes when owners are not around. Those things by themselves are big endorsements. For me, the biggest endorsement of Lisa came from Jackson. He was his normal self when I got home and he was very excited when we bumped into his walker. Dog's know good people, so do I and only good people are allowed around either of us. Canine Performance will be getting my business for the foreseeable future. I definitely recommend anyone consider them to take care of their dog.

Here is an update to my original review. As I said before,…read moreI LOVE my pet care team. Off Collar has been a God send for me. Yesterday I was diagnosed with the flu. Oh misery All it took was a text message to Lauren Flannigan (owner) and favorite pet sitter, to ask if she could help me out by taking my Mila for daycare. There was no hesitation on her part. She was here early this morning to pick her up and will have her back to me in the afternoon giving me the day to rest. She will do the same tomorrow. Even though we weren't scheduled for these days, she was very willing to help me out. If you need pet care and want the best for your four legged furry friend, you would be remiss in overlooking this amazing service. I have had dogs my whole life and excellent pet sitters are hard to come by.

He'd been a regular at another dog daycare, and I knew he'd miss playing with other dogs. I checked out several in the area, and got recommendations from my neighbors. I decided on Reserved Barking because it was clear that they adore my dog as much as I do. He is always super excited to go inside to play. I love the fact that they have an outdoor play area. That's unusual and a big benefit in my opinion. I know the employees are vigilant, caring, and professional. He loves to see them every morning and I trust them completely with my dog. They get 5 stars on Yelp because they deserve it. You couldn't ask for a better place to bring your dog.

My…read moredog loves coming here, when I first got her I was in distress to get her quality fun time when I was at work (sometimes 10-12 hour days) and my husband just deployed. I was a new dog owner and she being my first ever puppy and dog (GSD); I was sooo stressed. But the owners are so helpful and knowledgeable, this is truly the best place in the history of EVER for dogs! I also love that this is Veteran owned and you get to interact often with the owners. Thanks guys, I can't say enough great things about them. It's terrible and comical some of the reviews that I've read about this place... I'm sorry but it isn't RB's fault if your dog ate something it shouldn't have and how do you know it was at RB? Reserved barking doesn't have toys available for dogs to chew on or anything else for dogs to play with other than other dogs (and the water hose!). Reserved Barking is an amazing oasis for my puppy she gets sad when she doesn't get to come here. It breaks my heart.
