It gave us such peace of mind to know that Christy and her crew were visiting him and giving him love and ear "scritches". I recommend The Unleashed Pet for anyone who needs pet sitting services.

I'll be sure to pass on to my military family because we don't need the added stress in an already stressful situation. Would give zero stars if it were an option.

Jojo is a 5 month old Golden/Lab mix. She loves Playful Pack in Alexandria. Every time she goes in…read moreshe is excited and ready to play and when she leaves... she doesn't want to go ... hahaha. Everyday we get a cute little report card and pictures of her in action throughout the day. So how do they compare to other day camps out there.. Playful Pack definitely has a few advantages. Small group of dogs. There are maybe 10 to 15 dogs at camp from what I have seen. She gets that one on one attention. The staff is very consistent as well. So if there are concerns or issues, they really do know your dog. Webcams. You can see pretty much everything during the day. You dog is pretty easy to find as well, there are maybe two cameras that cover the whole open space. Planned events. Everyday something is happening. Whether it be a disco party or bobbing for toys. It's not just running in circles all day. All the dogs and staff are engaging with each other. Pictures. If you missed them on webcam, the staff at Playful are dog paparazzi . They get several pictures during the day that come with daily Report Cards. Report Cards. Everyday your dog is in day camp, they pick a few highlights in demeanor for the day and short blurb. Hours. This place has the best hours! It has been really difficult to find a dog camp that caters to early commuters. It's almost impossible to find anything open before 7:00 without early arrival fees. Playful Pack in Alexandria is open at 6:30 am everyday! No long wait to check-in either. The staff is just as excited as the dogs to get camp started. They close at 7:30 pm! No crazy rush home, I can hit the grocery store, change clothes or even go out for an early dinner. Playful Pack is really quite perfect for my family needs. Let's talk cost.. I feel like Playful on the higher side BUT for the hours, events, etc... more than worth it. A full day is $39 at Alexandria as of 10/21/2022. They do charge for feed your dog $3.00. If you want to use their house food it's $5.00. If you get a package 5-10-20 day, there is a discount. Right now they have evaluation day and 2nd free with first five day packages starting at $125 (this is $50 off regular package). Which is 7 days for $125 (not including food services) not bad at all! The due have in-house bathing services for $25 as well. My only con is that they charge to feed your dog with the packages. It's kinda odd to immediately lose your discount and it's not prepaid. So everyday I will get charged $3.00 to feed my dog lunch I brought from home. Hopefully that will change.. either that I can prepay for the charge or it goes away with the packages. I highly recommend giving Playful Pack at any location a try. Jojo is definitely happier here. She comes home not overly tired but the puppy energy is definitely worked out ... we could not be any happier...

We bring our dog here about once a week to get him out of the house and let him enjoy himself…read more Today, we received a call claiming our dog had "latched" onto another dog and that staff had to use force to separate them. Our dog was raised by professional trainers from a young age, is highly socialized, and has never shown aggression toward another dog. When we arrived to pick him up, we waited over 30 minutes to view the footage of the incident. After the delay, we were told the video "couldn't be played," leaving us no option but to blindly accept their version of events. Staff then admitted they struck our dog with a broomstick and punched him with a closed fist--yet somehow, the other dog had no injuries whatsoever. No marks. No blood. Nothing. That explanation simply doesn't add up. If a strong dog were truly latched onto another and couldn't be pulled off, there would be visible evidence of an injury. To make matters worse, they also admitted that the two dogs were already known not to get along, yet they still allowed them to be together. This shows a complete lack of judgment and responsibility on their part. What's most disturbing is not just the incident itself, but the refusal to provide transparency while openly admitting to using physical violence against a client's dog after knowingly placing him in a bad situation. If I were you, I would think very carefully before bringing your dog here. You may have a normal experience--or you may be the one they decide to handle with force and deny accountability afterward.

He loves his dogs and the ones he, and by extension Dog Gone Walking, takes care of and you can really tell. At the end of each service you get a pet journal, where the walker or sitter gives a little report of what your pet was up to or accomplished, as well as a photo and - I won't lie - they're the highlight of my day. This holiday season we also used them to pet sit our two dogs. I was very nervous leaving them, but Mike (and the others - especially Brittany) were great at handling my questions and giving updates.
