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.

Bonus Points- they provide an email update with photos every walk! They also have pet sit for us in-home, providing sitting services. The service is terrific and lets us have peace of mind while on vacation that our muppets are well taken care of and loved. Finally, Anne Marie truly goes above and beyond for our pups, she has gotten to know them, and they excitedly greet her every time in return.

In daycare, they're grouped by size & temperament. Rosie joined the other largely Generic Small White Dogs in the "Toy Box" playroom. Full day Care is broken up with doggie nap time around mid-day. Coolest: being able to spy on the play & sniff action via the live cams & access on the Dogtopia app. Kinda hard to explain to anyone nearby if you start laughing at the dog play, but that's Dogtopia!

Great name as they are the BEST pet sitters I've had for my 3 dogs…read more Elodie and Moe are spectacular. I am a neurotic owner of 3 dogs and just used them for the first time while my wife and I were out of town for a week. Each one of my dogs has a different personality and they dealt with all of them well; even my newer pup who barked at them forever the first day. I got several photos and videos each day showing my dogs playing, eating, etc. They administered pills and were able to walk all 3 of mine at once. You can really tell they are not just doing a job but really love the animals. Hire these people. They will be my default pet sitting from now on.

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.

The Board Hound has been an amazing resource for me and my pup Finn. Finn is 2 years old and has…read moreextreme separation anxiety and is sensitive to...well just about everything. The Board Hound was recommended by the Animal Behavior Wellness Center (Fairfax) early in our journey. Everyday they balance group play with enrichment and learning (brain games). For example, last week they introduced Finn to bubbles and although he was tentative at first, with gentle encouragement he ended up loving the bubbles (the pics of his bubble exploration are in the attached report card)! This is just one example - they've not only reinforced my training but advanced Finn's training when it comes to reactivity (their training the "wait" command has been a godsend). The Board Hound's curriculum (my word) includes personalized care based on Finn's need, their recommendations are always given from their expertise and in the best interest of Finn. If Finn wants to be on the floor playing, in the suite resting, or needs one-on-one time, they accommodate regardless of what the "schedule" says. We recently moved houses and Finn struggled with the change and added stress. The Board Hound made me aware of the changes they had seen in his behavior and helped me manage his stress. They temporarily adjusted his day to ensure he was getting more rest, shortened his group play sessions to limit over stimulation, and increased his one-on-on time with the staff doing brain games and other activities. They provided updates and made sure I had a good sense of what they were seeing day-to-day. This reduced Finn's overall stress and made the transition to our new home easier. I cannot overstate how much I appreciate everything The Board Hound offers as support for my pup and his well being including the expertise of the staff, their excellent communication, and ongoing attentiveness to Finn's needs. I recommend their services to anyone.

After a few sessions, she started to play with all the dogs and became confident in her ability to socialize with puppies of different sizes. The puppy socials are on Sundays so it's very convenient for working dog parents. Additionally, they have staff in the sessions explaining what to do which we really appreciated! We learned a lot even though we thought we knew dog training very well. We never tried their other services but the staff is super nice and accommodating and highly recommend their puppy socials for new puppy owners. I believe they are $10 per session.
