Olive lets Elle handle her and give her meds, which isn't always easy.

Elle has been such a blessing for my two senior dogs! I was hesitant to entrust them with anyone else but after getting to know Elle and hearing rave reviews from others, I now would only trust them with Elle. My shiba is blind and needs to be handled a certain way on walk and my pug is increasingly incontinent and needs to be taken out regularly. That made it hard for me to return to office. One's also been on and off various meds as I try and figure out health issues, and Elle rolls with the punches without any issues. She's conscientious, consistent, and responsive, and she sends the cutest reports with photos at the end of each walk!

What can I say?!! Five stars for Elle and her services. She is always dependable and trustworthy but Pawpins is so much more than just visiting your pets. Elle has an uncanny way of connecting with your little critters! She takes the extra care to be sure they are comfortable and healthy! You know you are getting top notch service here and she is treating your pets and home like it's her own.

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!

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.

The Fairy Dogmom deserves far beyond five stars!…read more We reached out to the Fairy Dogmom about two years ago, and we feel so incredibly grateful that they have become a part of our family's life. I cannot overstate how incredible the owner, Katie, and office manager, Lynda, are. And my comments--already verging on superfluous--would sound even more so if I described how fantastic our regular walker (but really, family member), Dolores, is- she is kind, caring, and we, and our pups, love her. We have asked Fairy Dogmom to walk our pups (three, poorly trained cavaliers--which is no easy task!), feed our kitties, board our dogs, and also stay at our home to take care of the full menagerie (three dogs and two cats). Fairy Dogmom has fulfilled all of our requests and done so reliably and with the utmost care and attention. For "normal" dog walks, we receive comprehensive and fun updates, complete with a narrative and photos, and when we have had a Fairy Dogmom stay with our dogs and cats, it's like we have left them in the capable and loving hands of a best friend--who updates us constantly by email about how our crew is doing. We recently lost one of our sweet dogs to cancer, and Dolores, Katie, and Lynda could not have been kinder, or more supportive, through a very tough month. Communication, billing, and payment are all A++ as well! In case it's not clear, we could not recommend Fairy Dogmom enough.

Knowledgeable, dependable, and meticulous…read more We've known Katie and her family for 30+ years and she's the real deal. Trust your furry family with Katie!

This…read morewas our first boarding experience, so we were understandably a bit nervous, but Moe and Elodie quickly put us at ease. They were professional and provided timely responses to all of our questions. While we were out of town, they regularly sent us photos and updates so we knew Sami was well taken care of. And Leila was such a gracious host to share her home for a long weekend. Can't recommended them enough. So glad we found them. We'll definitely be using Leila Knows Best the next time we travel.

I wish there were more stars to give on this review for Leila Knows Best!…read more My Sansa is a 10 month old Soft Coated Wheaten terrier. The breed is known to be highly intelligent. Her trainer tells me that she is very stubborn with extremely high energy. She is also rebellious and constantly pushing boundaries to see what she can get away with. And I adore her. Sansa was badly injured by her first groomer at age 14 weeks, and had to have emergency surgery, plus 6 weeks of heavy sedation so she could recover. As a result she is now anxious all the time. She is jumpy and scared and ready to bite the hand that wants to leash her-mine! I had left her with a dog sitter for a weekend in September and then reserved the same sitter for the first week of November. I think that the sitter was too polite to tell me that she didn't want to deal with my Cujo-style dog. She called about 12 hours before she was supposed to show up and backed out. I am glad she did because that lead me to Elodie and Moe-"Leila Knows Best", who are THE PERFECT dog sitters. They treated Sansa like she was their own. I know how disruptive she can be, yet they never complained. She was genuinely happy there. I had to extend my trip by two nights and they accommodated her without fussing, hemming or hawing. I received several updates for the 8 days that I was away. They took her to the waterfront to play, for several walks a day and even pulled out a crate for her to sleep in because that's what she is trained to do. I didn't have to lug her crate over. Their place is spotless. They have a beautiful pooch called Leila who seems calm and well trained. Sansa clearly enjoyed her stay with aunty Elodie and Uncle Moe! To Elodie and Moe-I cannot thank you enough! I hope you'll agree to take her again. (Not soon because as Moe said-she is a dog and a half). Lol She is in puppy kindergarten now and should be much easier next time!! If you want someone you can trust with your canine baby, look no further. .

Megan and her team are second to none!…read more We've lived is several cities and have always had walking services for our dog. When we got our new puppy, I knew we needed the extra hands while we were gone most of the day. Enter Fairytales. From the moment you meet Megan, you can tell she is deeply passionate about the care of animals. She cares about their wellbeing just as much as the owner! She's not just a service provider, she's a godsend to our family and new pup! From field trips, long walks, south block pup cups...Megan has given our new pug amazing socialization and enrichment. He is thriving as a new city family dog and we have Megan to thank for most of that, continually looking out for him, updating us with photos and videos of his fun-filled days, and her extraordinary effort to adjust him to all different types of dogs and people! Her doggy daycare service with pick up and drop off is a must for any busy family (we also have two) small humans!). Louie comes home a happy, tired pup ready to snuggle and wind down the day with us. We can't wait to see how Fairytales expands to the new location!

I highly recommend Fairy Tails for dog walks.

Amanda at Bode's Buddies was more than a dog walker for me and my pup, Reagan. From the day I…read morecontacted Amanda after rescuing Reagan, Amanda was eager to help. Reagan was diagnosed with separation anxiety almost immediately, which made crate training a struggle. Amanda helped create a comforting environment to ease her anxiety: cleaning up her messes, providing her lots of love, and offering advice on solutions. I was always able to reach Amanda quickly when my schedule changed or with updates on Reagan's needs. And vice-versa, she would provide me pictures, updates, and daily notes when caring for Reagan. Reagan really built a relationship with Amanda. Anytime we saw her out on other walks, Reagan was excited to see her again! I recently left the area, unable to continue services with Amanda. So unfortunately I've had to find other walking services, but none has compare to the level of service I received from Bode's. I continue to recommend Amanda to those in the Old Town, Alexandria area. She will treat your pet as her own and go above and beyond your expectations!

Amanda and her team treat Toby as if he is their own and I always feel 100% comfortable knowing that his well being is in their hands.

If you live in the Old Town area, definitely consider Bode's Buddies!
