Once I brought the issue to their attention, instead of correcting my account, they tried to assign blame on my card, even though they charged the very same card fourteen weekdays in a row after the alleged problem. In addition, I never received an explanation as to why some days I was charged more than others, for the very same service.  All in all, Atas Doghouse is a convenient, affordable option for doggy daycare, but you will want to be diligent about checking the charges to your credit card frequently.

I've taken my dog to Dogtopia a handful of times now. A couple of times for daycare, and then a few…read moretimes for a bath. Having a nearby doggie daycare is a great convenience. I enjoy taking my dog here because you can easily book your appointments online, and it's only a short walk away. The staff at this center are very friendly and kind. They seem to take great care of the dogs, from what I can see when I'm inside as well as on the webcams. My dog is a bit antisocial when it comes to large groups of dogs, so daycare isn't really for her. However, the spa treatment is really helpful and she seems to tolerate it even though she isn't the biggest fan of being away from home. We have a small bathroom, so giving her a bath here would be difficult. I had a small issue before where they didn't call me when my dog was ready after her bath, however, I learned that they had tried to call but it didn't go through. I haven't had this issue since then - I just want to make it clear that it's really important that you give them the correct phone number so that they can call you when your dog is ready. Thank you Dogtopia for being easy to work with, and for helping take care of dogs throughout the year. It's not an easy thing to be working over the holidays when folks need their pets taken care of, and we appreciate your energy and presence.

They also provided me with a report card and comments. The comments they gave me also felt very generalized, almost like it came off a template. They used "they/them" instead of "he," which made it feel impersonal. The playrooms themselves looked small and honestly a little overcrowded with dogs. Definitely not as much space as I would have expected for them to run around comfortably. Also, heads up if you're driving, there isn't much parking in the front, which made drop-off and pick-up kind of stressful. Overall, not the worst, but I wasn't super impressed and probably wouldn't bring Chronos back here regularly.

From the very first visit, it was clear that she genuinely cares for the dogs she looks after--she treats Taz as if he were her own. Every time I drop him off at Pawadise, he's excited and wagging his tail, and I leave knowing he's in great hands. Deena provides a nurturing, structured, and fun environment where dogs can safely play, socialize, and feel at home. Taz always comes back happy, well-exercised, and ready for a nap--which tells me he's had a full day of activity and engagement with his furry friends. It's also comforting to know that Deena keeps a close eye on the dogs and is attentive to each of their personalities and needs. Finding a place that you can trust with your pet is never easy, but Pawadise has exceeded every expectation. If you're looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place to leave your dog--whether for the day or a longer stay--I couldn't recommend Pawadise Pet Sitting more highly.

BEST GROOMER I'VE EVER HAD!! We love Leti!!…read more I with I could give this business a million stars!!! I have a little Lhasa Apso who is 14 years old and about a year ago she decided she hated grooming and whenever I took her in she would come back half groomed b/c they groomers couldn't handle her. I searched and searched to find someone who could do her properly, and who could come to the house, which I thought would be less stressful for her. After sending out tons of emails to the groomers on Yelp with 5 stars I heard back from Leti and she was able to come a few days later and did an AMAZING job. Nobody has been able to groom my dog's face and Leti was able get just about everything perfect. (there are a few hairs close to her eyes that just can't be gotten!). My dog also liked Leti and there were no hard feelings after the grooming session, despite how much my dog hates being groomed...in fact she really liked Leti. This really feels like a miracle, I was so despairing over this b/c my dog half the time had overgrown hair and now she looks as clean and fluffy as she ever has. Thank you Leti!

We've taken our 12-year-old Yorkie, Presley, to City Dogs twice now, and unfortunately we won't be…read morereturning after what happened at his most recent grooming on October 8. Presley's first haircut here was fine, shorter than expected on the face but it grew out nicely. This 2nd time we asked for the exact same length, but his face was left noticeably longer. 2 weeks later, his bangs are already covering his eyes. That alone would not have warranted a review, but what happened afterward absolutely does. Presley was dropped off healthy and alert. When my husband picked him up, staff said everything "went fine." But once home, Presley was unsteady on his back legs and refused food, treats, and water. We called City Dogs immediately, and the information we received was inconsistent. On the first call, we were told his nails hadn't been trimmed. On the second, we were told they had been as part of the full grooming package (would have been fine, we were just trying to understand what could have caused his sudden discomfort). We were also told, for the first time, that Presley "didn't want to stand" and had been "nipping." That alone raised a brow for us. Presley is 12, and in all our years of taking him to vets and groomers, we have only ever been told he is calm and gentle. Even in moments that make most dogs anxious, like rectal exams, he stays still and sweet. Hearing that he was agitated or refusing to stand instantly told us something must have been off that day. It also should have signaled to City Dogs that something was wrong. If a consistently calm dog suddenly becomes uncooperative, that is a sign of distress and should have prompted a call before continuing the grooming. When we finally reached the grooming manager, (also the groomer), the conversation became incredibly frustrating. From the start he was defensive, speaking over us and focusing more on protecting City Dogs' reputation than on helping us understand what might have happened. To be clear, we weren't being accusatory. We weren't blaming anyone or suggesting he intentionally hurt Presley. We were trying to figure out what could have happened in those few hours that might explain why our otherwise active dog suddenly could not walk properly. Instead, he grew irritated, pointing out that we had spoken to two other staff members, (completely out of our control), and repeatedly insisting he "would never hurt a dog, especially a senior dog." We never suggested he would, we just wanted clarity. He interrupted often, dismissed questions, and even claimed we were the ones being defensive. Any pushback on our part came only from asking him to let us speak. It felt like we were being treated as an inconvenience rather than concerned dog parents. When I asked if it was normal not to call an owner when a dog refuses to stand or shows distress, he said it was not uncommon, especially for "older dogs with arthritis." That didn't make sense as Presley has never been diagnosed with arthritis or shown symptoms. At one point, he also claimed we had accused him of giving Presley medicated food, when all my husband asked was whether Presley might have eaten anything while there. The manager ended the call by telling us to monitor Presley for 24 hours and make sure he was drinking water. When my husband explained that Presley was not eating or drinking at all, the manager finally said that was "concerning" and promised a follow-up call the next day. No one has called. Presley's stiffness lessened after the first day, but he continued walking unbalanced for several days afterward. The entire experience was very disappointing. We weren't looking to blame anyone, we were trying to understand what happened and make sure Presley was okay. Instead, we were met with evasion and indifference. Accidents can happen anywhere, but how a business responds afterward defines its integrity. In our case, City Dogs failed to respond with basic care, accountability, or compassion, and that is why Presley will not be returning.

I can't say enough good things about Brandi and Perry Bailey of RSK9. Their work has given my pup…read moreand I so much freedom and balance. Pebbles (blue heeler, 1.5 years old) would never listen to me, would not sit or lay still, and had a lot of other obedience issues that caused her to be stressed or confused. She was a TOUGH dog to train and I was concerned I couldn't find the solution for her to get basic concepts. This view has completely changed since working with RSK9's 3 week program. I would HIGHLY recommend them and their methods - you can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and it's made a huge difference in giving my dog the chance to find real rest at home. They send DAILY updates with photos and videos which was so nice. This isn't a regular class or something you just pay for; it's truly an investment that you and your dog will be using for the time you get to share together. Side note: it's worth doing 3 weeks versus 2 weeks. At the 2 week mark is when Pebbles really started to understand her marks and cues. From here there is so much more that can be refined and Brandi/Perry really capitalize on that threshold being crossed!

Ridgeside was recommended to us by a neighbor with a very well mannered dog. We have a 4 yo…read moreBluetick Coonhound that had a few issues that we couldn't get past on our own. Initially we checked out the Ridgeside Instagram account and then after contacting them for additional information we decided to sign Flossie up for the 3 week board & train program. We were given our trainer's contact info in case we had any questions or wanted additional info prior to the start date. Gina picked up Flossie and for the next three weeks we got pictures and videos every day of Flossie's training progress plus also information for us to learn about the training. All of this made the transition back home easy and seamless. Gina's instructions were clear and concise and she also made sure that we understood the hows and the whys of training. Since Flossie has been home Gina reached out to see how things were going and said she was available if we had any follow up questions. We are very happy with the outcome and feel the training really firmed up our loosey goosey training up to that point. Gina gave Flossie the foundational training she needed in order for us to meet our goals with Flossie and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

The price tag is well pretty on par with other pet sitting services in the area as I researched ahead of time. I've found that they go out of their way to answer emails or calls quickly, which is especially important with last minute trips. Their online booking is pretty straightforward and easy to navigate. It would be great if they got a phone app, but the web version is fine especially for a small business. Highly recommend if you are looking for petcare for your dog or cat. They are in Cap Hill, Brookland, and NoMa.
