I have been a customer of Milo's Doggy Daycare for over 4 years and I am completely satisfied with…read morethe service that Dorian provides. He provides text updates after every walk and he tries to accommodate any last minute changes to my schedule (either adding or deleting a walk for the week). He's also boarded my dogs several times because I feel completely comfortable with him and the relationship that he has with my dogs. He's very patient with my dogs, especially my little Chihuahua, who doesn't like anyone in the house but me. Anyway, I would highly recommend that you give Dorian a try if you are in need of a reliable dog walker or dog boarding.

Now, we are off to a great start. My little dog can be quite the handful, but Dorian is so patient and kind with him. He leaves notes after each walk, so we know how it went. We've also appreciated how easy he is to reach and schedule walks. We're really happy we've found him!

Our vet suggested a regular exercise routine and our neighbor--a big time dog lover--referred us to Jordan and Brighter Days. We are so happy with these guys! Our dog just loves Jordan. Daily walks have really helped her calm down. And Jordan is so reliable! We had to be out of state last year for a month. While we were away our dog got into some chocolate that the house sitter had left out. Jordan discovered the problem and contacted us right away. Any time she notices anything off, we hear from her immediately. She's also terrific about working with us when there are changes in our schedule and she's very helpful with our dog care questions. Could not be more pleased.

It was immediately apparent that they all have significant experience with dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable.

If I could give this company less than a one star rating, I would. George first came to my house to…read morediscuss my dog's training and we set up a boarding regime before he left and didn't even ask once to meet or see my dog ahead of time, which concerned me from the beginning. A dog lover would want to meet a dog who was going to be staying with him ahead of time. George Leonard told me specifically that training was $100/night. Never once did George inform me that I was agreeing to 5 consecutive days when I paid him $500 up front. Therefore, when I asked if it would be okay to pickup Oliver after two days of training due to my busy work schedule, and George agreed, never did he mention that I would ultimately be losing the last $300 I sent him ahead of time. I asked if it was okay to pick him up, had he told me I would be losing the rest of Oliver's training I never would have picked him up. I figured, at the time, George would let me know his schedule (like we agreed he would do in person) and I could bring Ollie back to finish his training. When I emailed George a few days later to set up another training for Oliver (in which I had already paid in advance) he sent me an extremely rude email saying that I had lost my opportunity and if I'd like Oliver to be trained, I would have to pay an additional $100 per night. Do NOT send your dog to this training. The "Canine Training and Behavioral Specialist" George is very rude and will not accommodate as needed. I was scammed into losing nearing $300 and Oliver was never even trained. Such a disappointment and waste of time, effort and money.

I can't recommend Ruff and Ready enough. George was incredibly helpful with the 60+ lbs teen…read moreAmerican bulldog my fiancé and I fostered. George had been working with our foster dog before we got him, and we were amazed at how well trained the dog was. George helped us understand the training and have the skills to reinforce it so our foster dog could be his best self and find a forever home. Our dog who'd passed away was a senior, small deaf terrier mix, so having a big American bulldog in his teens was something very new to us, and George was absolutely fantastic in teaching us how to continue working with the dog. George spent more than 1.5 hours the day we first received our foster dog going over all the basics until we were confident we had the fundamentals down. We also had several super helpful training sessions at our home so we could practice how to correctly enforce the training in various scenarios and locations. George answered each of my long, rambly, nervous emails with patience, kindness, encouragement and a deep understanding of my questions. George has an incredible ability to not just train dogs well, but train *us* as their human caretakers, which I realized through this process is just as essential. George was really great at teaching me in a way that was consistent, motivating, and easy to understand. I was nervous because looking after and training a large powerful dog can be pretty intimidating when you have no previous experience, but George equipped me with the tools and knowledge necessary to do so and was always very responsive to email and phone calls when I had any questions or concerns. It can be an adjustment to follow a training "regimen" when you never have before, (e.g., using a prong collar) and it's easy to think the discipline is not what dogs want or need. That said, George taught me how critical it is for some dogs (e.g. a large bully breed), and how that's what our foster dog needed to be safe and be his best self and get the home he deserved. Trust me, the foster dog utterly LOVED George, who always knew how to balance correcting negative behavior, positive reinforcement, and play time. The time and dedication George has put into this dog in need of a home is admirable and says a lot about George's love of dogs and generous heart. We are forever grateful for all the training and encouragement we received, and for all George has done and continues to do for foster dogs. We will absolutely go to Ruff And Ready again when we get another dog, and I highly recommend you do the same, no matter what type of dog you have, even if it's just for a consultation session - it will change your life, and your dog's life, for the better.

If you live in NoMa and own a dog, you need to know about District Dog Walkers!! I've been using…read moreDistrict Dog Walkers for almost a year, and couldn't be happier with Aaralyn and her team of professionals. She always makes time to walk my dog, even for a last minute request. She is responsible and highly attentive, and checks in with me on a daily basis if I forget to ask for a walk. My dog can be anxious and sometimes destructive when I work long hours, but since Aaralyn started walking him daily he's relaxed and content when I get home. Her services are personalized, reliable, and affordable. Also, Aaralyn shows how much she cares for the dogs she walks by providing an outstanding and unmatched level of service. When my dog became very sick one day inside his kennel, she immediately cleaned him and his kennel, made him a clean dry bed, and then texted and emailed me to let me know what was going on. For the next three days, she went to check on him every two hours while I was at work, even if it was just to sit with him and comfort him. On top of that, one of her walkers took my dog to the vet and waited with me while he got checked out, then walked him back home so that I could go back to work. This walker even bought a bottle of water to bring with him to make sure that my sick dog would have something cool to drink on the walk to the vet and back. She did not charge a penny extra for any of this - only for the times he was walked. She's fantastic!

After investigating all my dog walking options, I decided to stay with the Brookland outlet of Saving Grace because I had such a good experience with my former location, they came highly recommended by some friends in the new 'hood, and the owners are sons of a former teacher of my children. Basically, I'm loyal and it's all about relationships. I have not been disappointed! Patrick and Adam have been great with my 2 dogs who have different needs. One is an active rescue mutt who loves a good long walk, and the other is an English Bulldog 1+ yr old puppy with lots of energy but not a lot of walking stamina who just recently had ACL and meniscus surgery! Saving Grace Brookland has been responsive, accommodating, flexible, and helpful in adjusting to our various needs over the past 9 months since we started with them. They are responsive to emails, and leave a daily update about their visit in a notebook at my house. Overall great, can't say enough nice things! Glad they are in the neighborhood for my doggos!
