We used Wagamuffin for about a year. There were no alarming issues, but I would not recommend this…read moreservice as there are better dog walkers in the area. After using Wagamuffin for a few months, we were prompted to find a different dog walker after two separate individuals in the neighborhood pulled me aside and voiced concern about how unhappy our puppy seemed during his walks. Both individuals felt conflicted sharing this information, but witnessed this on more than one occasion, and as fellow dog owners felt that they should at least let me know. I'm so glad that they did. Although the dog walkers through Wagamuffin showed up as scheduled, and adapted to any cancellations, they were not being kind to our dog during his walks - which explains why he would hide if we were home when the dog walker came. We found a dog walker in the area who was a better match for our puppy - someone that truly loved his dogs, treated them with more care, and exceeded our expectations of service. And, it was remarkable how at ease our dog became and how excited he was to see his new walkers. My advice would be, if you're in a crunch, Wagamuffin is okay. But, if you're looking for someone to really love your dog, look elsewhere.

My boy, Charlie, has been part of the Adventure crew for almost 5 years! He loves it!. When I…read morefirst adopted Charlie he was very reactive & need a lot more physical stimulation. DC Dog Sitters have worked with his leash manners & prey drive. He is such a happier more confident pup now! He knows what days are Adventure days & waits for his people to pick him up. They communicate well, they give a heads up when they are on their way for pick up & drop-off. Its very easy to make schedule changes in the app. You can tell they love what they do.

I was in DC on business and had my Frenchie with me. Normally, I can leave our DC office to run and…read morecheck-in on my dog as needed. However, this time I was part of a very important and lengthy presentation, and had to be onsite for several hours. My dog has osteoarthritis so regular daycare was not an option; and I was nervous about leaving my dog alone for several hours in the hotel knowing I wouldn't be able to leave in case of emergency (even though they are dog friendly). The hotel recommended DC Dog Sitter and they were amazing. I was contacted very quickly, was able to upload my dog's vax records, and get a confirmed dog sitter in less than 24 hours. My sitter was Fredy and he showed up exactly on time, kept me updated during the stay, and sent photos. I've never used a service like this before, but if you're in DC and need in-hotel dog sitting, I recommend this company.

Great cat sitters! I hired Furry Walks and Wash when I was…read moregoing out of town for a week and needed someone to watch my cat. I did a lot of Googling and Yelping as it was hard to find a pet sitter that dealt with cats. I reached out to Furry Walks and they promptly responded back to me and then Andre, with FW&W, called. We talked for a few minutes and arranged an in-house visit where he could meet my cat and I could tell him about what he needs from a care perspective. When it actually came time for the sit Andre sent me an email every day summarizing how the cat was doing/acting and also included pictures. I have a very high-strung emotionally needy cat and he was more than willing to humor me with brushing and rubbing the cat. Overall I would highly recommend! The only complaint I have is that they did not mention there is a small surcharge for a weekend pet sit. It was only $5, though,and wouldn't have made me change my mind had I known in advance. And they were still more than worth it.

So very happy I found Furry Walks & Wash! The same walker comes over every time, so I love that we…read morecan build a relationship. Prices are REALLY competitive, and only a $5 charge for same day requests. They go above and beyond to accommodate my needy pet and my specific requests.

Butters absolutely loves him and goes nuts when he comes over. It makes me so happy to see my dog's pure and complete joy when she is with Jason. It's great to have someone trustworthy and reliable take care of your dog - that's non-negotiable. But in addition to being trustworthy and reliable, Jason's love for pets makes him exceptional.

Over the last two years Jason has been a part of our family, taking such amazing care of our dog, and treating both us and her with the utmost kindness. He's fun, he's attentive, he goes the extra mile (sometimes literally when he would take Gertie for an impromptu afternoon outing). We cannot recommend Pet Sounds enough. The only thing that would make them better is if he worked in Chevy Chase. You should be so lucky as to have Jason taking care of your pet.

Calvin's been walking Indy since he was a little more than puppy and has watched him grow up with us. He writes amazing summaries of each dog walk, takes ridiculously good pictures (one of which is sitting on my desk at work), and has helped us manage multiple incidents (one memorable one when Indy had an accident in our apartment and then our Roomba went off...). Can't recommend highly enough.

Better yet, they send me a daily report with pictures of my babies for everyday they visit them.

It was immediately apparent that they all have significant experience with dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable. I even noticed an improvement in my dogs' leash walking skills after a few months.

I therefore…read morequote my email to Abigail IN FULL so that folks can judge for themselves whether my tone was inappropriate: "Thanks Abigail; I left a voice mail with Brighter Days yesterday saying I'd like to talk to a human before I used their service for the first time, and never got a call back, so I made other arrangements. When will businesses learn that they need to return their phone calls? In any event, is it OK if I keep your info for future reference? thanks, [Name]" So that was the email to which I got an email back saying that I would not be an acceptable customer to this pet sitting service. I was actually wondering whether the service, on seeing my review, would contact me to say that Abigail's nastiness was not representative of their group's treatment of its customers, but I see that I was mistaken.

When we got him back and Scott trained US on new techniques, it was a whole new world. Marvin is now so much happier on walks and we can take him out with confidence. I grew up training our family dogs, one of which I trained to be a therapy dog, but Scott had that next level training that made the difference with Marvin. I recommend Scott to anyone with dog training needs. I will also mention Scott has a huge heart for dogs. He helped us out with a foster dog when we and the shelter could no longer take him. Scott saved and housed this wonderful pup for a year out of the kindness of his heart! Scott is a great dog trainer and a great dude.

When our current caregiver was no longer able to provide services, we had to find a replacement. This was no easy feat.
