My puppy Fable having fun in Old Town with Moe & Leila!
Nora K.

My dog Fable and I ADORE Elodie & Moe! I can't recommend Leila Knows Best enough. They are so loving, and clearly love all the dogs they care for who become like family, and it's apparent right away. I appreciate how responsive and flexible they are - my schedule can be somewhat unpredictable and they've always been understanding to any last minute changes, and take those on with a smile. They listen to the needs of every dog and their owner, as well - Fable is a highly active field golden retriever puppy, who needs to run a lot, so they make sure to get her exercise at the park when she visits! They always send lots of photos and videos, so you feel like you know what's going on and you're having fun with them. I'm grateful for Leila Knows Best and you will love working with them!!

Newman visit

From start to finish, we have been overjoyed with the love, care, and attention to detail Elodie and Moe have for our animals. They stopped over to meet us and talk logistics in advance. Moe even picked up our puppy, Boom Boom, before we left town and dropped him back off. We left our cat, Newman, home and they stopped over everyday to give him food, water, and TLC. We were provided many photos and updates on eating and bathroom habits. Elodie and Moe took Boom Boom on many walks and to parks and trails outside of town. Boom Boom made new dog friends as well. We were a little worried before we left about leaving them (especially the puppy for the 1st time). After a few days, we were more worried that the puppy would never want to come home. We cannot thank nor recommend Leila Knows Best enough!

I am glad she did because that lead me to Elodie and Moe-"Leila Knows Best", who are THE PERFECT dog sitters.

I have used Alexandria Pet Care a few times now, since the people who used to watch my cats moved…read moreout of the area. The team that handles my visits have been wonderful. It is apparent they love pets and ensuring their proper care. The reports I receive after each visit put my mind at ease, particularly since one of my kitties is wary of people she doesn't (and, at times, does) know. I also enjoy the photos. The app that APC uses is a user-friendly interface that allows you to handle virtually all business with APC, and the team sends reminders to confirm the scheduled visits a couple or more days prior. As others have commented, make no mistake about it: the services cost and sometimes, the sticker shock gets me, particularly considering the circumstances for the visit. There is a weekend charge, per day, per pet, and a holiday fee, per day, per pet whenever there is a holiday or it's APC's dedicated holiday season. While I expect to pay to have someone briefly interrupt their own holiday plans to handle the things with my kitties that I cannot, boy oh boy does it add up and quickly. A loyal customer discount or customer appreciation savings here and there would definitely be welcomed! That said, I know I can leave my pets in good, competent hands and that my home is secured, as well. They will tend to plants and pick up the mail, if you ask, and they do leave things orderly. I love the notes, the pictures, and the care they show my pets. I know they have been kind to my pets and that's the most important thing to me. I definitely recommend and will use again.

I have been using Alexandria Pet Care for years to care for my fur babies when I'm out of town…read more Their care team is very responsive, and they always provide details/pics of my pets to put my mind at ease. Their client app is user friendly and allows me to change pet care information effortlessly. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank you, APC for all that you do!

We were very uncertain about what to do with our Chihuahua when we moved to VA. Previously friends…read moreand family stepped in to watch him. He is very shy and isn't very friendly towards new people so it's nerve racking to find a place where you feel he will be cared for properly and loved in all of his grouchy Chihuahua glory! Once you get through that part he is a love bug. We went to the local PetsMart and had a bad experience just talking to the people there and knew he couldn't go there. That's when I looked on Yelp and found this place! It had great reviews and I saw that they had experience with Chihuahuas! It's nice to know my dog would be staying in a home(with lots of space and a big back yard) with experienced people who loved animals! So much better then a cage! I was very nervous when I dropped him off....ok I cried! Do you think he's spoiled???!!! Beth helped me feel so much better because she took the time to send me photos, tell me how he was doing, and talk with me while he was staying with her. After the first photo I immediately felt at ease and thankful we made the decision to leave our dog here. I really appreciate that Beth takes the time to do this and it really shows that she cares about animals and her job. I feel comforted to know that my dog has a safe place to go the next time his "parents" are away!
