I called 2 days before I left for a vacation, because my dog sitter cancelled on my last minute. I was scrambling to find a way to take care of my dog, and all the other dog walkers couldn't fill in with such short notice. A call to Jds Canine Cruiser, and Viktor had me taken care of the next day, which was brought my wife and I peace of mind. Their prices are slightly lower (by a dollar or 2) than the other dog walkers I called, and they were far more flexible. I met Viktor in person for the initial meet and greet, and was very professional and handled my dog well. Without having to ask, Viktor watched how I dealt with my dogs excitement, and mimicked me, when I handed my dog over. I felt very confident in leaving my dog to their care while I was out of town. If you are looking for a dog walker in the NOVA area, I highly recommend choosing Jds Canine Cruiser. read more

Jim and Olga Diana have been great at walking my German Shepherd dog during the day for about two full months now. My husband used to take a long lunch break to do run the midday walk for our pup (he needs to potty up to 4 or 5 times a day) but now thanks to JD's Canine Cruiser he can save the drive and dedicate the time to his projects. It took a while for us to make up our minds about hiring or not a dog walker and after having JD's we have realized how much better it is weighting time, gas, mileage, traffic, etc... Our dog *LOVES* them and we feel our pup is in good hands and the keys to our place are safe. read more

Jds Canine Cruiser - Dog Walkers Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

This business is top notch. We needed them in a pinch to watch our cat for a day, and they came through very quickly. Best of all, it's not just a business they actually enjoy animals so you know your pets are being cared for properly. Highly recommend. read more

Jim and Olga are great! I called them when I got my second pup at only 7-8 weeks old I needed someone to walk him mid-day. They came over and spent time with both pups to get them comfortable with them. They have proven to be trustworthy, dependable and flexible. Olga has been great at getting Tiberius to walk on his leash. She is always very helpful when it comes to teaching him new things and making sure that she enforces our guidelines for him. I am so happy that I found JDs Canine Cruiser to take care of my pups while I'm at work. If I ever need a soemone to watch the pups over night I know who I will call. read more

We were using a different company but decided to switch to JD's because of the phenomenal reviews. And we really glad that we did! Olga comes and walks our two dogs two to three times a week. And after each walk, I love that she sends us pictures and cute messages about their walk together. Our puppy, Waldo, is super hyper so she always has something extra cute to say about him! Our older dog, Winston, is usually very weary of strangers so I was super impressed when Olga sent us a picture on thier first day with both dogs in hand! The last walker it took almost a month before Winston would go out with them. The prices are reasonable. We get a 20 minute walk for $18 for two dogs. I wish they would get a longer walk at that price (considering most other places offer 30 minutes for the same price) but for the sake of trust, happiness and quality, we are staying with JD's! I love that this is a family run business and they are super flexible and laid back. When we need to switch days or have billing questions or accommodation requests, they are always availble! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a dog walker! read more

By far the best dog walking service in the area. Jim and his team are fantastic. The app is extremely helpful, Jim is always communicative, and mostly I TRUST him and his team. My trust is very hard to earn especially when it comes to my animals and I trust Jim and Viktor implicitly. If you are looking for a professional, go no further. Jim is simply the best. read more

We moved to Centreville about 6 months ago and were in dire need of a dog walker. I chose Jim and Olga because of the great reviews on Yelp. Jim came to our home twice to meet with the pups and the second time, he brought Viktor. Viktor is great with the dogs - they absolutely love him! There were multiple times I had to do last minute cancellations or need an extra walk in case we were working late. And each time, Jim was extremely flexible and responded to me very fast! Thank you guys for your great service! read more

Jim, Olga and Viktor have been my dog walkers since January 2015. There was never a time that they weren't available, even when I made a last minute request, and I always came home to a happy dog. I especially appreciated the daily pictures and updates. After an unsuccessful disc surgery, my dog was unable to walk without a lot of help. I know it was difficult taking care of him during this time, but Jim and his team really went the extra mile accomodating him. Especially Viktor who was his walker for the last several months of his life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to JD's for taking such excellent care of my fur baby. I will not hesitate to use them again when I get another dog. read more

Jim & his team are amazing!!! They offer top-notch service. Look no further. They take the time to learn and understand the needs of your pets. read more

Great people who take wonderful care of your pups. My Rhodesian Ridgeback and Boston Terrier are excited to see JD. He helped us out in a pinch and with short notice! They rock! Their prices are reasonable and their reservation system works great. read more

Jim and Olga have been such a tremendous help to me. I am so happy that I found them! From our first encounter with them, I knew they took their business seriously. They have always been on point with communication, even late night and last minute texts, a wonderful online booking system that allows for ease of scheduling services, and best of all, they are just pleasant people to work with. It's rare to find great businesses like these when owners are super involved with every aspect of their company. Kudos to them for being exceptional!! read more

We highly recommend JD's Canine Cruisers! We have 2 dogs, one of which can be very reactive to other dogs and men. Viktor came out for an initial meet and greet and my dogs had no issues with him at all! Viktor has been walking our dogs ever since. That was over a year ago. Viktor is great with my dogs! He knows how to handle difficult dog issues, he is reliable and extremely accommodating. Communication is great and I love the texts we get! JD's billing and scheduling is very convenient too. Prices are competitive to any other company but the piece of mind we have is invaluable! I know they have other dog walkers now and I have no doubt they would be just as great. We highly support this family/veteran owned business! 5 stars business without question! read more

My husband and I have an American Bulldog for almost 2 years. We dearly love this dog and never leave her alone before. Not long time ago I had to go on a trip for two weeks. My husband's schedule is pretty hectic and he didn't have much time to pay attention to Lily (dog's name). So we decided to look for a reliable person to take care of the dog with walking and playing. Through our good friends we were refereed to JD's Canine Cruiser whose owner is Jim Diana. We had a wonderful experience with this company. Jim walked and played with our dog every morning for those 2 weeks. He showed absolute love and compassion for the dog. Did everything what we were asking for. Lily stayed happy all this time while Mommy was out of town :). Next time we are on our vacation we know whom to ask to stay with Lily! I definitely would recommend his business to anyone because Jim's love to animals is genuine. Natalia and Mike Keenan Chantilly, VA read more

Jds treats our dogs as if they were their own. This growing business is both professional and personable. Viktor walks my foster dog every weekday and my mom's senior dog twice a week and is EXCELLENT with both. He also sends a text update after each walk. He's a dog whisperer and has expert knowledge on dog behaviors. JIm couldn't be nicer and is very accommodating with the scheduling. I completely trust them and would recommend them to anyone looking for the best pet care! read more

I was in a pinch and needed to board my dog for one night. I called JD's to find out if that was possible. It was obviously an out of the ordinary request, but Jim very gamely worked with me to make arrangements. In the end, I was able to find an alternate so to be clear, I did not end up boarding with JD's. I just wanted to call out Jim's great attitude. I would happily go back to them in the future. read more

I'm a very new client of JDs, but they have been amazing to work with! I reached out to multiple different companies while in the process of adopting my Zoey, and JDs was the most responsive, friendliest, and the most willing to work within the small window I had between adopting her and needing daily walks while at work. I was able to meet both her primary walker, and backup, which made me feel good. I won't have to worry about Zoey not being taken care of when either Carleigh or Stephanie come by. I also love the detailed email update of how the walk went. It's a huge relief! read more

Jim has been so great with our new labradoodle puppy. Not really sure how we could have managed in the first few weeks. He was so attentive even texting pictures of our puppy after his visits to let us know everything was OK. I can't recommend him more highly. Thanks so much Jim!! read more

We recently went on vacation for a week and we have a hard time boarding our dog because she doesn't get along well with other dogs. Jim and Olga were wonderful and they took great care of her. They came by to meet us and our dog before we left and they sent us pictures while we were gone. We would definitely use them again while we're out of town. read more

I'm thankful that I found Jds Canine Cruiser. My dog is very shy but is a good dog -- his handler needs to be very patient. Further, I need my dog walker to be very flexible to accommodate my changing schedule. Olga and Jim definitely delivered. They were easy to work with around my schedule and took the time to get to know my pup. We were able to set up a schedule that works for both of us. More importantly, they took the time to get to know my dog. On the initial visit, Olga stopped by and spent several minutes to get a sense of my dog's temperament. And after a couple of walks, I get a feedback that everything was going smoothly. They even played with him while I was away! Needless to say, they're definitely my "go to" dog walker service. read more

Great place to board your pet while on vacation! Highly recommended! Great with animals and excellent customer service!

We used JD Canine Cruiser for about two years and loved them! Our goldendoodle Mox was so well cared for and Jim is so responsive and always sent photos during walks. We were so sad when we moved to Falls Church and knew we would have to find a new dog walking service. We haven't had very much luck yet but recommend Jim to anyone!! read more

I can't board my Pomeranian's because they're too neurotic. I had to go on vacation and needed to find an alternative solution and I'm so glad I choose JD's Canine Cruiser! Super friendly, obviously a big animal lover and best of all, I came home to two happy, well fed Pomeranian's and I will definitely use JD's in the future! (**Note: I opted to have JD's come walk my dogs 2x per day) read more

I'm so relieved we found Jim. He and his team are awesome. They really care about our pets and doing what is right. I look forward to getting my daily pictures and updates on my two pups. If you are looking for someone to take as good care of your pets as you would, look no further. read more

I couldn't be happier with my selection of JDs Canine Cruiser! I have been a pet owner for over 20 years and have always made arrangements with family/friends to care for my dogs because I was not sure if I could trust anyone. I finally caved and couldn't be happier. I knew I was making the right choice when my furry baby immediately took to Viktor during our first meeting. Jim is very responsive and helpful. Viktor is flexible, professional, warm, and takes great care of my dog. I was impressed when he told me he dried her up after their walk on a rainy day without me asking. Viktor takes initiative without being asked. I'm comforted after receiving his follow-up texts after every walk. No one can go wrong with this AWESOME family business! read more

Jim and Olga are the BEST! After using another service that I found was not walking my dog and lied to me, I was referred to JDs Canine Cruisers. They came over and met my dog and I and we discussed his needs and quirks. I received adorable pictures of their walks together while I was at work and I knew he was being cared for. There were a few times when I needed them last minute to come and walk my dog and they never said no! Being available "on call" was a lifesaver for us! I recommend them to anyone who is looking for loving, dependable walkers in their area. read more

I've been meaning to write a review for a while now. Jim has been walking my Mazza since just before the holidays. This was my first time hiring someone to walk my pup and Jim made the process so easy! I work in retail and my schedule changes weekly (and unexpectedly). Jim is always flexible with my schedule and even some very last minute walks as well. Mazza has had a few health issues (coughing) and Jim gives me an update if he notices her coughing more than usual. I can really tell that he cares about her well-being, which is a very important factor when choosing someone to care for Mazza. I highly recommend Jim. *Note: I live in Virginia, not Maryland. read more

Love Love Love!! If you are looking for someone who will love your pet as much as you do, look no further!! Jim, Olga and Viktor are phenomenal! We have an English bulldog puppy and he absolutely loves them! They are so caring and nurturing with him and they definitely treat him like their own, exactly what a new bullie mommy like me was looking for! They come 2x a day to take Critter (11 weeks old right now and growing like a weed) on his walks and they send me pictures and videos of him from each of their walks. It gives me peace of mind when I can't be there with him. I would recommend JD's to anyone who is looking for the BEST animal care out there...they are #1! read more

Jim has helped us out several times in last minute situations where we had to go out of town. Our German Shepherd does not do well in boarding and has hurt himself due to his high anxiety. When we travel we have Jim come in and hang out with him. We couldn't be happier with his services! Highly recommend Jim. read more

JD's Canine Cruiser provides the most convenient, reliable, and friendly pet care we have ever experienced!! Jim and Olga are amazing. Our dog Yogi and cat Cupcake LOVE them and always enjoy their visits. They are so easy to work with, very affordable, and give us such a wonderful peace of mind when we have to be away from our home and our furry friends. I trust that they are always in good hands with Jim and Olga from JD's Canine Cruiser. I highly recommend their services!!! read more

I am very happy we found Jim, Olga and Viktor - I am not sure what we would have done without them! They take great care of our dogs while we are out on vacation and are very accommodating and very responsive- what a great way to run a successful business :) Can you give more than five stars? read more

Amazing! Great service, friendly dog person. We were impressed.

Jim is very personable, reliable & knowledgeable. Willing to work around your schedule and rates are very reasonable. Thank you Jim for helping out our community by fostering rescue dogs. Also, Thank you for helping me adopt Teddy. You are the best! read more

Jim is a wonderful resource and I would trust him anytime with my dog, Oscar. He is very flexible and willing to go the extra mile to make sure Oscar's needs are met which gives me tremendous peace of mind. I would not hesitate to recommend JD's Canine Cruiser to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter or dog walker. read more

JD's Canine Cruiser is amazing! They are super reliable, and always available in case of emergency. My dog loved his walker, and the daily visits and walks in the middle of the work day did wonders for his behavior. Highly recommended! read more
