Pet boarding/training near Fort Washington

“Prior to working with the I speak dogg training program I was thinking about giving my dog away. This training completely changed my mind and had solidified my dogs place in our family. We are truly indebted to this program and encourage anyone with a dog to allow this program to get your dog right ! Best program on the east coast Hands Down, he's willing to work with your busy schedule and everything!!“

“The staff and services are A+. My Himalayan kitty looks show quality every time I pick her up. Absolutely no post traumatic vet visit syndrome for this kitty. She’s indeed so happy after the grooming by experienced hands. Great name for the company. I haven’t tried the boarding facility yet but from what I have seen, I would not hesitate to board my cats there.“

“Started seeing Bri last summer when we first got our second fur baby! And Cannot recommend enough her services in dog training and helping our pup out with impulse control and leash reactivity during walks. Every session was useful and personable. It is clear that Bri, Lani, and the team really care ? and have the dogs best interest in mind always. Quality care“

“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.“

“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“

“I cannot say enough good things about this vet clinic. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to explain everything in such clear detail that I genuinely left with no unanswered questions, which made the whole experience so reassuring.

My cat, Iris, is usually cautious, but she was completely comfortable here and immediately loved the doctor, the technician, and everyone she interacted with. They truly doted on her and treated her like their own — even sending us home with a thoughtful goodie bag, which absolutely made my day.

You can tell this team genuinely cares about both pets and their owners. I’m so grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and warmth they showed us. Highly, highly recommend ??“

“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!“

“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.“

“Lauren helped us retrain our dog before moving abroad after he became impossible in older age and it honestly changed our life! Our dog Piper had become extremely reactive towards other dogs and couldn’t even walk by them. After working with Lauren, Piper has been playing with other dogs every single day, visiting crowded markets in Europe happily, sitting at cafés, hiking off leash, and is even loving the dog park. He has had no issues with dogs big and small. Strongly recommend!“

“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!“

“My baby’s first grooming appointment with Tatiana was a success. She was so pretty with the bows on her ears. Her hair did get matted quickly, but that’s out of their control. I’ll definitely be back for another grooming session.“

“I have been a customer of Vetco for over three years and I have always been pleased. Excellent service competent doctors and employees“

“I took my 12 month Yorkie to Dr. D for her first visit. Before I went. I read the reviews and some of them were horrible. I went in with an open mind and boy I’m glad I did. They gave me the best experience. The front desk staff were very nice, knowledgeable able, and welcoming. We went to the back to meet the Doctor and he was welcoming and nice. As he checked my pup he asked if I had concerns and addressed them. I walked out very pleased with our experience. Thanks to the caring staff we’ve found our vet home,“

“We love Mount Vernon Animal Hospital so much! They always take care of Marina as if she’s their own cat . They are always on top of her shots and annual checkups . Erica and Kelly are an amazing concierge team with beautiful smiles and enthusiasm! Keefe is very gentle with Marina especially when she doesn’t like having her nails trimmed! This office is always clean and friendly !“

“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!“
