Lauren and Dale took such great care of my cats when I was out of town! They tended to all the…read morecats' needs and went above and beyond in playing with them, giving them treats, and loving on them. My cats were probably sad when I came home since I'm sure I'm not as much fun as Lauren and Dale are! They also sent pictures and updates about the cats every day, and they were very organized about the administrative side of things too (like keeping careful notes on how much to feed the cats etc). If you want to know your animals are in good hands while you are away, I highly recommend Lauren and Dale.

Kelly leaves a little note every day with the time she arrived and what they did during her 15 minute visit. She is also very understanding and accommodating when I need him walked longer (30 minutes) or at a different time of day. In order to not be charged for a cancelled visit, you need to provide at least 24 hours notice, which is sometimes impossible because, hey, life happens. I understand they have a schedule to work around, but I wish there were 1 or 2 "freebies" for cancelling with less than 24 hours notice (or at least only charge half for 12 hours notice). That being said, I know my dog is in great hands while I am at work, which is extremely comforting. I would recommend Wagabout to anyone who is looking for a dog walker in Bethesda or surrounding areas!

I would give Eric, Nick, and Walk Play Love 10 stars if I could. When I finally needed a dogwalker…read morefor my aging dog this past summer, I contacted several local services. Eric was responsive over email, prompt in setting up an appointment to meet my dog Winnie, and asked all the right questions. Their intake form is thorough and Eric really listens to what you want. They also have quite reasonable prices. Win and I were lucky enough to be paired with Nick...my dog is fan of men, so she was always her best self when he stopped by. Nick never missed a walk, always showed up during the allotted time, and sent me pics of my dog enjoying the outdoors while I was stuck at with. He always locked up after himself and set the alarm, and left Win with fresh water. If I happened to be home, Nick was pleasant and cheerful when we greeted each other. If that wasn't great enough, in the last couple of months my dog has been struggling to walk. Nick gave her shorter walks, more time to sniff, more pats, and, as things got worse, even carried her up multiple flights of stairs when she couldn't do it herself. He really went above and beyond for Winnie. Like, so far beyond. I am incredibly grateful for the care he took with her. I will absolutely use Eric and his crew in the future. I would completely and utterly recommend them with your pup.

The report also includes a tracker map so if you have a dog, you can see where they were walked. I am very pleased with the service!

The sitters vary but all are enthusiastic based on the reports they leave. After every visit the sitter leaves a note of when they came and left and what they did. They also usually text us an update and a picture of our birds. We come back to a stack of reports. The sitter stays a while after the food, water, and paper are changed to make sure the birds aren't acting weird, and I hear that some singing goes on. We've never had a problem and have be accommodated at very short notice when we want to go away for the weekend. I highly recommend this company. 1/27/20 Update: Just used them again during a ten day trip to Hawaii. I'm pretty sure our birds are in love with Alex, who came for most oF the visits.

Despite me typing up a whole instruction sheet, he insisted on walking through again just to be sure (which is very reassuring). The actual pet sitting was spectacular. The pet sitter who was assigned was Kim. She spent plenty of time with the cats and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. The visit reports they leave are really cute as well. Could not have gone smoother! I'd also like to add that they were available with very short notice (3 other pet sitting companies were unable to handle our request). Also want to add that Stewart (when he came for the home visit) was wearing a mask and gloves to protect against COVID (a welcome sight). Pet owners would should have their minds at ease if they select Love Those Paws. If I go on vacation again (few and far between these days) I would definitely use them again!

When I returned to get him yesterday, I didn't see any dogs playing-- just barking, barking, barking. On the way home, I noticed he was bitten on his eye, with blood slowly oozing out of his tear duct and a puncture above and below his eye socket. He had diarrhea and the blood turned into pus coming out of his eye. Last night he threw up in the middle of the night and today, lots of farting but he seems to be holding the food down. I put some anti-microbial stuff in his eye and that seems to be getting better. Maybe going to the vet later, not sure yet. They charge extra to feed your dog his own food, so we went with their food and that is probably why he's having some gastro-intestinal activity, but the bite on the eye? I"ll be looking for another option next time we need to leave him.
