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.

We got a recommendation for Sandy at Heart and Home, just needing someone to look in on Otis once a day or so. She was great. Not only keeping Otis in check, but bringing in the mail and paper, turning lights off and on to make it look like someone was there while we were out of town - above and beyond. When we got back, there was a good note about how things went, plus she left us her laser pointer to borrow for a bit since she had been hanging out playing with Otis while she stopped by - just in case he needed a fix, I suppose. Very reliable and would highly recommend!

My dog loves em, we ran into one of the walkers at an outdoor patio in Takoma Park and my dog ran up to his dog walker like he just saw a long lost friend.

I spent ages combing through all the various services and Rovers in my area, and I'm SO glad I finally found Baby Got Bark. Claire was incredibly responsive when I sent the initial interest email, and she sent our walker, Jules, out to meet us the next week. We knew it was true love when Jules walked in and said "That dog is a HYENA and hyenas are my favorite animal". Most people call her a tiger, but she is clearly a hyena. Jules has come to walk my pup three days a week for the past few months, and we couldn't be happier. Based on the photos Jules sends after every walk, it is very clear that Suki has a new best friend. Jules is quick to send an update after each walk, and is very responsive to communication in the Portal - even for unrelated tasks I forgot in the morning rush, like taking the blanket off the bed so Suki can't destroy it, as she is prone to do... Claire accepts my walk requests immediately, and the price is lower than anything else I was considering. We're so relieved to know Suki is taken care of and happy while we're at work. We love Baby Got Bark, and will be customers for many many years.

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.

Without Walk Play Love, taking care of Oliver's needs would have been too much for one person to handle, especially a dog who has isolation distress and trouble with housetraining.

If you need someone who you can trust to take care of your pup, look no further than Walk Play Love. They truly want what's best for the pups and understand the lengths we take to ensure they are happy and well cared for just like their own. Thank you so much!

This review is longgg overdue, but better later than never! My little chihuahua, Princess, and I…read morewere clients of Run And Play for an entire year. The only reason e stopped service was because we relocated to New York City. I was a new dog owner, and initially wasn't giving my chi a potty break midday. With DC traffic this became increasingly stressful because I couldn't predict when I'd be home and didn't want her holding her bladder all day! After talking to a lot of walkers, I met Jennifer and the rest is history. Jennifer came over, met P, and talked to me generally about dog ownership & her services. Jennifer is super knowledgeable and a compassionate person for people and animals - this was so helpful because it put me at ease with giving someone access to my house & my new puppy!! Jennifer assigned us Jimmy as a walker - and that was P's BFF from that day forward. Jimmy is such a good human, would txt me updates, if needed, and treated Princess ...like a literal Princess! He was always on time, always communicative, and if the rate case he couldn't cover a walk, Jennifer took her out! They even convinced my little chi to potty in the rain & snow (something I struggle with to this day). Eventually some route changes kicked in and Isa was our walker. Isa was so sweet as well, and helped me fit P in a proper harness (which is tough for the little ones) in addition to being prompt & communicative! Additionally Jennifer sends consistent updates to clients through the portal, it's flexible with scheduling, and send a super cute newsletter with helpful information - esp for first time dog owners. Overall, Run and Play is the best pet care service in southern Maryland area! We were so sad to leave such good people and I highly believe trusting Jennifer with your fur babies is a great choice. 10/10 would recommend!
