Pet Boarding Training near Fort Washington

“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!!“

“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!!“

“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 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,“

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

“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.“

“Rediscovered Sonny’s for dog grooming. 15 years ago my dog had a bad experience here when this was under a different name and owner. Have been bak 6 times now for grooming and they do really well.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.​​​​​​​​​​​​“

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

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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 ??“

“Five Star Review Great Staff and Service, My Dog(s) have been going to Anchors Kennel for Years and I'm pleased with their service and pricing. Keep up the good work.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
