Saving Grace Petcare is the BEST. A local small business that takes wonderful care of pets. We use…read moreSaving Grace for cat sitting when we are out of town. Selena who takes care of Meru always writes little notes of how he is and leaves them for us daily (sometimes even sends a photo as well!). We have had Selena for all of our visits, which is really nice that it's the same person going to your apt. each time and not a different person who doesn't know your pet. The price tag is well pretty on par with other pet sitting services in the area as I researched ahead of time. I've found that they go out of their way to answer emails or calls quickly, which is especially important with last minute trips. Their online booking is pretty straightforward and easy to navigate. It would be great if they got a phone app, but the web version is fine especially for a small business. Highly recommend if you are looking for petcare for your dog or cat. They are in Cap Hill, Brookland, and NoMa.

We came in and learned that they offer a free puppy play time, and free samples of frisbees, snacks, and training pads. They also offered a broad range of toys and treats that kept our teething puppy happy and their staff provided us with some fantastic recommendations. The biggest drawback to Metro Mutts is hat it is not the most accessible place and that as a boutique, it is priced well above other stores or Amazon. All the same, it's worth a visit.

My dog seemed to enjoy going to Atlas, and I liked that they were open until 8:00 p.m. during the…read moreweek, but I stopped taking my dog to Atlas once they started overcharging me. Once I brought the issue to their attention, instead of correcting my account, they tried to assign blame on my card, even though they charged the very same card fourteen weekdays in a row after the alleged problem. In addition, I never received an explanation as to why some days I was charged more than others, for the very same service.  All in all, Atas Doghouse is a convenient, affordable option for doggy daycare, but you will want to be diligent about checking the charges to your credit card frequently.

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!

We've been using Wanderpups for cat-sitting for over 2 years and if I could give more than 5 stars,…read moreI would! Just a few of the reasons include: a) Easy booking through an online portal, which also allows you to create a detailed profile for your pet including info such as feeding schedules, medications, temperament, etc. b) Reasonable pricing. c) Excellent customer service and responsiveness to questions, schedule change requests, etc. d) Detailed updates after each cat-sit visit including photos. But the thing that really sets Wanderpups apart is the amazing care from their team of dedicated pet-sitters. Our cat is not the most cuddly or affectionate guy. He's wary of strangers. But we have been lucky enough to have a handful of repeat sitters, and each one has gone above and beyond to make friends and gain his trust. It has been amazing to see how much he has come out of his shell. Now, instead of hiding under the bed when they visit, he comes out to greet them, allows them to pet him, and gives them lots of headbutts (basically cat-speak for "I love you, you're my friend"). Wholeheartedly recommend!
