    example of a photo send by his  dogwalker, so cute!
    Rachel A.

    This review is overdue because we've been using them for nearly 2 years now, but I have to sing the praises of Wanderpups! We've been lucky enough to have a wonderful regular dog walker (Onat) and have also had good experiences with the other walkers & substitutes. It's been really easy to communicate with them because they use the TimetoPet app to manage all scheduling and payments. When we need to make a change we just open the site and make adjustments as needed. We also get notified if there will be a substitute walker. Our dog can be very nervous when meeting new dogwalkers and can be a little stubborn on walks, so he's not the easiest dog to handle, but Wanderpups treats him so well. We also use them for cat check-ins when we travel and they actually stay and play with our cat which is much appreciated because our cat is very social and loves attention. They also send a note and a photo after every walk/visit, which is such a joy to receive during the weekday!

    Wanderpups isn't only for dog walking - their cat sitting service is AMAZING! We dont travel often, but when we do, we need reliable service and care for our "old man" cat Bailey. I've been through several inadequate services throughout the years in DC, from companies that don't send experienced staff, to those that can't manage to communicate with anxious pet parents. Wanderpups saved us at late notice when another service wasn't meeting our needs and did a stellar job! It was SUCH a relief to be able to rely on someone to care for my cat as much as I do, and I am so grateful. I will for sure be using Wanderpups whenever I can in the future. Photos taken by our sitter were better than those I can capture myself!

    After moving to the area, we have been using this service for a couple of years now and I have never been more pleased. I've had other walkers that just do not compare to the consistency of same dog walker, reliable at same time of day! They previously walked two of our elder dogs with major mobility problems with ease and care. Now they walk our two, crazy energetic puppies. All four of our dogs are crazy about the walker! He takes amazing pictures on every walk...I have millions now. ;) Guys, seriously this service is awesome and prices are great.

    See all

My most recent foster was a young male fox-hound mix from a rural rescue. This beautiful, spirited pup was a handful, and he and I needed help... immediately! Lily from Happy Planet Petcare was recommended by people at my local dog park; I am so happy we found her. Lily uses positive, rewards-based training. My foster pups' particular needs were: pulling hard on walks, being constantly distracted, no recall, jumping on people out of excitement, being barky, and chewing whatever came near his mouth at home. Lily achieved drastic improvements on all fronts. As well as her professional accreditations and hands-on experience, she is currently pursuing a master's degree in animal behavior. That was one of the things that attracted me to her services, a passion rather than a job. Lily is articulate and explains behaviors, often from the dog's perspective, which is so helpful. Her goal was for me to have a fun relationship with my dogs. I feel confident about transferring what I learned to the other foster dogs I host. I highly recommend Lily and Happy Planet Petcare.

    My dog had such a great time here!…read more A little backstory. My Olde English bulldog had ACL and patella surgery almost four weeks ago. He isn't putting much weight on the leg yet and it still can be tender. PPC scheduled a google conference call with me ($5 to avoid no shows) to get details on what he needs during a groom. I spoke with Melissa and let her know my concerns about putting weight on and to stress that the groomer needs to be gentle with his leg. She assured me everything will go at my dog' pace and even let me check him in at the front door as stairs can be difficult still. I went ahead and booked the appointment, and am so happy I did. Drop off was very easy and convenient for me to drop off early morning and go back home to take meetings. I picked up my dog a few hours later. He was clean, smelled great and was so happy! I received his report card later that evening and was pleasantly surprised to see how detailed it was and that 4 wonderful people were involved with the grooming. Especially thankful for the time it took to sand his toes on his bum leg!! My dog had such a great time there he was worn out the rest of the day. I know he can't wait to go back! Thanks so much Patrick's pet care, Melissa, Jerniece, Mea and Andrew for the great experience! Burrito loved it there!! I can't say enough good things about our first experience at Patrick's Pet Care!

    Ethan, Adam and Patrick are absolutely wonderful -- I couldn't recommend them more highly…read more When we rescued Jolly a little more than a year ago, she was very shy and terrified of new men. Ethan was extremely patient with her, and it wasn't long before she was giddy about him coming for her mid-afternoon walks. He took great care of her, doing all the little things like cleaning up leaves in the portion of the dog park where they played to keep her from eating them and getting an upset stomach. When we were out of town, Adam and Patrick dog-sat for us. They both have very sweet dogs of their own, and Jolly loved going over to their houses. She's been especially sad to leave Adam's house! The guys were all extremely considerate. We knew we could count on them to come pick Jolly up at the last minute if we needed them to -- and because I travel often on short notice for work, that was an enormous help. Adam took care of any issue that came up, every time. We're moving out of town and know Jolly will miss them. But these guys are great. Use them!

I have not one bad thing to say about them. Patrick, Adam, and their sister Mattie took fantastic care of our bunnies. They responded to my (at least one million) questions in a timely manner, and came by twice to meet the bunnies. We got stuck in Iceland for an extra night because our flight was delayed, and all it took was one quick email for them to swing by and check on the bunnies for an unscheduled visit. I received pictures, emails, and texts each time that I used them. I'd found them through a Google search after a really bad experience with another company, and Saving Grace was literally a 180 from what I'd previously experienced. I really can't recommend them enough. They're passionate about what they do, and they really care. If you live in the NoMa or Capitol Hill area, check them out!

After investigating all my dog walking options, I decided to stay with the Brookland outlet of Saving Grace because I had such a good experience with my former location, they came highly recommended by some friends in the new 'hood, and the owners are sons of a former teacher of my children. Basically, I'm loyal and it's all about relationships. I have not been disappointed! Patrick and Adam have been great with my 2 dogs who have different needs. One is an active rescue mutt who loves a good long walk, and the other is an English Bulldog 1+ yr old puppy with lots of energy but not a lot of walking stamina who just recently had ACL and meniscus surgery! Saving Grace Brookland has been responsive, accommodating, flexible, and helpful in adjusting to our various needs over the past 9 months since we started with them. They are responsive to emails, and leave a daily update about their visit in a notebook at my house. Overall great, can't say enough nice things! Glad they are in the neighborhood for my doggos!

They have never let me down and are always quick to follow up with a response and confirmation. I would recommend Saving Grace to anyone.
