Pet Boarding Training near Accokeek

“I'm very pleased with the staff and how well my dog is treated when he is in their care.

Much Love from Tank Saunders“

“We had an incredible experience with Autumn during our one-on-one private session. In just one visit, she made a remarkable impact on both me and my dog, Tyson. Autumn quickly assessed Tyson's behavior and provided us with clear, actionable tips that addressed important areas such as listening to commands and managing typical puppy behaviors.

What stood out the most was Autumn's patience and encouragement throughout the session. She ensured that we not only understood each step but also felt completely confident in applying the training techniques at home.

I wholeheartedly recommend Autumn to anyone in need of personalized and effective guidance. Her expertise made a significant difference, even after just one session!“

“I recently moved to the DMV area and was desperately searching for a cat groomer. My goal was to find an exclusive cat-only grooming place, and I’m so glad I found Happy Cat Hotel & Spa. Everything exceeded my expectations, from the ease of booking to the space itself (so clean and low-stress for my cats), the groomers, and the pricing. It’s 100/100. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for reasonably priced yet amazing service.​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Nick is amazing with training my dog. He has also boarded her and he kept me updated with videos and pictures during the whole time. He even gave her a bath before I picked her up. He also does grooming. Can’t find anyone better!!“

“Brianna is WONDERFUL! She has extensive experience working with dogs and is always continuing to educate herself so that she can provide a truly customized and effective approach to dog training for her clients. She is kind and compassionate and able to give her clients attainable action steps to help them live a healthier life with their dog. Brianna's great sense of humor also makes working with her so much fun! Her Saturday group classes are an amazing opportunity for clients to continue working with their dogs.“

“We had a serious miscommunication regarding the spaying procedure of my puppy but I was impressed and appreciative of their professionalism in handling this situation to my satisfaction. I think we all learned something from it.“

“We were able to board our pup of 4 years in very short notice. We could not be more grateful for Hometown to have availability for her to stay for almost a week. They were very accommodating, and had a schedule laid out to take care of her and take her on walks.
They were understanding of her nervousness, especially separation anxiety. When I called to check in on her, they responded with patience. They were supportive and honest on how she was doing.
It’s clear that she was well taken care of and treated with care during her stay!“

“We absolutely love Southern Oasis!
Two of our pups have attended daycare here long term, our Doodle Teddy still attends weekly. We've also boarded them during vacations — each experience has been outstanding. Teddy gets so excited that as soon as we reach the bottom of the driveway, he starts barking and can’t wait to get out of the car. Once we park, he leaps out, ready to start his day — and this happens every single time.

Erin and Nikki are incredible. They're not only caring and attentive, but also communicative and clearly passionate about what they do. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and truly treats each dog as their own.

You might find a more modern facility elsewhere, but you won’t find the level of care, love, and attention that this team delivers every day. We’re so grateful to have found them!“

“Five pups is so convenient and they send pics of our happy pup while at their day care. It’s a wonderful place for our pup.“

“We take our dog here at least once a week for daycare and have also boarded her. She is always so excited to go play with her friends including the staff. The staff greet her by name. When we pick her up she has had so much fun that she doesn’t always want to come home. We feel safe leaving her there. We have been bringing our dog here for the last year and half.“

“By far the best customer service. I really appreciate the time they take to accommodate.“

“I cannot express enough how much I recommend Frolick!!! I initially was just going to the open gym in the evenings to practice agility and basic commands with my Bernedoodle , where I had met initially Kevin and Kim (the owners). Kevin is SUCH a wealth of knowledge about dogs and had given me initial tips to build on what my girl already knew, but the more we talked, I knew the day board and train would be the best option. IN COMES JUSTIN!! He has the Kevin touch as well. Everything looks effortless. He also was beyond patient with me ( I think I was harder to train than my dog tbh, but you’ll have to ask him). Now, I swear my girl loves Justin more than me (they really should love their trainers that much!), she loves “going to school” (which is what we call Frolick)- to the point she starts Panting when we get close by on Duke street.
The perfect mix of corrections and positive reinforcement, training the things I needed the most and was having the hardest time being consistent with (place, heel, recalls) and dealing with reactivity! GOD SENDS. If I have a question or concern,I don’t feel dumb asking or coming to Frolick to ask or practice. EVERYONE has noticed how much more relaxed both my pup and myself are now- that’s confidence from Justin. Frolick is truly a family and I wish I would have found them even sooner. I will be eternally grateful!!“

“just a beautiful facility and really, really nice and knowledgeable people. i went for a confirmation class/intro to dog show training with my English cocker spaniel and will definitely be back.“

“I've been using 4 Pets' Sake for years and I trust them 100%. What a good feeling to go away and NOT worry about my animals. The caretakers are amazing and TRULY CARE about the animals! I love the emails sent after every visit. Brightens my day!“

“Lauren is awesome. She provides one on one focus on you and your pets as well as has a deep understanding of animal behavior and does a great job explaining the why and the what behind any questions you may have regarding behavior and training. The pack walks are great for getting in socialization and exercise.“

“I can’t say enough great things about our dog trainer Rayna Kinney! Before working together, walks were stressful and unpredictable due to my dog’s reactivity. Now, Junior confidently sits, stays, and lies down on command—even in public settings—and no longer reacts to distractions. Because of this training, I can take him places I never thought possible—and I can even trust him off leash. My grandchildren can also come over now without him jumping on them, which has made visits so much more enjoyable and stress-free. It’s truly opened up a whole new world for both of us. We’re no longer limited—we get to enjoy life together in a way we couldn’t before. If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior, I highly recommend investing in a trainer like this. It has made an incredible difference for us!“
