We have been pleased with their service and have worked with two different pet sitters since we moved last year and were out of the range of our first sitter. Whenever the pet sitters have visited, we always receive regular updates either via text or the pet portal feature on All Friends Pet Care's web site. The pet portal also is used to book visits and ask any questions, and AFPC always answers questions quickly. We are very thankful that our friend recommended All Friends Pet Care, as they really do a wonderful job taking care of our pets!

My family has been longtime fans of AFPC, and have received great care for our pup (Kai) and cat (Hoku).

She is very attentive to them and I have complete trust that when I'm gone, they are in good hands. Bear is a stocky, 17-pound tiger kitty (a recent addition to my household), but despite his size, he's a big baby, and will run and hide whenever somebody "new "enters my house. But Kim has a way with animals that draws them to her. It took only a few days, but eventually, Bear came out of hiding, sat on her lap and even allowed her to brush him! That was truly amazing and made me really happy! However, Josephine, my 15-pound calico, was probably not as happy because that meant she would have to share Kim's time with Bear. But not to worry...Kim had plenty of love and attention for both of them! When I'm out of town, Kim will text me photos of Josephine and Bear and before she leaves for the day, she leaves behind notes regarding each day's visit. She will also water your plants, open/close the blinds, or pick up your mail if you ask. I could tell that she truly loves what she does and that she loves my kitties as much as I do! I highly recommend Cupid Pets to anyone in need of reliable, compassionate pet sitting services. Joan

The initial interview went great - we could tell right away she was a pro and would take great care of our girls. And we were not disappointed. She did everything we asked, including feeding the girls on their trays [don't judge! :-) ] and putting out their treats. She made sure she connected with both of them every day, even though they're both really shy with strangers. When we got home we got a little report card of notes that Crystal left after every visit. It really showed she cared and handled our kitties with great attention to detail. And she was so sweet when she returned our key. We'll never schedule with anyone else again! :-)

From the very first meeting that we had with our assigned sitter, we were confident that our pets would be in good hands. Our sitter took great care of our kitties and guinea pigs. She kept us updated during our trip with daily report and pictures. We felt secure that our furrbabies were getting excellent care and loads of attention. Our shy kitties took to our sitter as if she has known them for a long time. After a couple of visits, our guys were interacting with her, which is unheard of even with our previous sitter from another company in the area that has been sitting for them for a few years! That gets an A+ in our book. Any time I have contacted them for service, they are quick to respond and are patient with my never-ending list of questions. They are now our choice for our pet-sitting needs.

They send me pics of her being loved and cared for which I am always thankful for. Claudette and Michelle are beyond wonderful to interact with.

This place is amazing and I'm really surprised to see some of the pathetic reviews so far. Let me…read morestart with my story and my 120lb Siberian Husky/Alaskan Malamute...Allie. We came here a year ago because of a hurricane evacuation. We're stationed down near Miami now, but have always called DC home, so when it was time to evacuate, there was no question on where we would head. I brought our dog Allie with us (wife took a flight out of Dulles to go see family), so I was looking for a place to put her for a day or two and get all her sillies out with some other dogs. This place was super accommodating to our situation, got her evaluated within a few minutes of the first day, and then took her for the day and absolutely wore her out! She had so much fun that when we came back the next day, she immediately started getting excited in the car when we drove into the location. Phenomenal staff who actually love dogs (not just the typical business owners that see a dollar sign over your pup) and will have fun with them all day long! For the reviews about scratches and sniffling...give me a break. This is a doggy day care...not the ER. It isn't meant to be perfectly sanitized, as I'm quite sure none of our dogs Purell their hands upon entry. If they have a scratch or two, it's because they were chasing dog butts all day and had a blast. If there are ever any issues, the staff will call right away and will section your dog off so they don't get hurt. If your dog got a scratch, they were probably having the time of their life. Calm down. If you want a solid dog boarding/daycare spot outside of DC filled with knowledgeable staff who care and will wear the pooch out for a day, this is definitely the spot to go to! The prices are more than reasonable and since it's indoors, it doesn't matter what weather will hit the area. Rain or shine, your pup will have a dog-gone good time with some of DC's finest 4-legged friends. I highly recommend them and we will most certainly be coming back over the holidays!!

So I had to turn around and take her back home, which screwed up my work schedule. If they have the vaccine information, it would have been very helpful if they could have sent me a reminder so that I could have addressed it before bringing her in. But seriously, a vaccine expiration of two days should not prevent access. I'll start looking for a new day care that has better customer service.

If I had dreamt up my ideal dog walker, Jen from Pet Quirk would still surpass that vision. I…read morecouldn't ask for a better substitute mom for my two babies, Brewer and Finley! Brew is an "attention-starved" Airedale Terrier mix and Finn is a 13 lb spaniel fluffball who is incredibly timid around most people. I knew after we moved here from California, finding the right dog walker to look after them while my husband and I were at work for 12 hours a day would be challenging. In fact, I interviewed several dog walkers but Finley was afraid of all of them! When Jen came in for her home visit and Finn immediately came up and kissed her, I knew I had found someone really special. Over a year later (this review is long overdue), Jen has showed up on time every single day, rain or shine, and my puppies love her! I sometimes work from home and have witnessed how they greet her at the door with toys in their mouth to show her, or how she plays, pets, and teaches them new tricks, and I'm touched by her obvious love for my dogs. She has given us tips for how to help Finley gain confidence and has worked with both of our dogs on leash manners. Seriously, Jen is the absolute best. She leaves notes about her walks including whether they went potty -- I love coming home and laughing at her notes with funny anecdotes about the dogs! She's flexible to work with, has very competitive rates (I did a lot of research!), and has no nonsense about not taking the dogs for a walk during inclement weather (which I also came across). In her free time she also leads animal fundraisers for charity...we've been to one 2 years in a row now and it was great! Jen is a true animal lover and an amazing person. You should hire her ASAP!

A colleague recommended Jen's services, and I am thrilled that we were able to connect. Jen and I set up a time for her to come to our home and meet our pup. She asked a series of questions ranging from our puppy's personality, our training intentions, and medical records. We were able to set up a daily walking schedule - rain or shine. Jen leaves daily reports after the walk. Information might include where they walked, who they saw, unusual behavior, good behavior, encounters with other dogs, and "businesses" done. Because we have a puppy, Jen provided tips for training as well. Our puppy is very strong and stubborn, so this was extremely helpful! Jen is reliable and proactive. She had a vacation planned and arranged for a quality substitute walker. Like most of us right now during the COVID 19 stay at home orders, we are working from home. Clementine noticeably missed Jen! We look forward to hiring her back when we head back to work!
