Pet Sitting near Kensington

“Great service! We have used A Walk in the Park for several years for cat sitting when we are out of town. They are reliable and take good care of the pets.“

“Edit: our girl is terrified of the groomer. It’s the other dogs that that are the issue. So sadly, we had to stop taking her and do it ourselves. Which was just ok. Fortunately Dawgs and Paws now has a mobile grooming service! Our pup loved it. That had a lot to do with the groomer, Ivana, who was very gentle with her and did a super grooming job!

Courteous, professional, and caring. They take excellent care of our girl. And they’re really nice people too!“

“Pooch Pals has been fantastic to work with. I started a new job shortly after getting a new puppy and Pooch Pals gave me peace of mind, providing fast response times and plenty of walks for my puppy who needed extra attention early on. Highly recommend.“

“Usually I would not write the review until the service is complete (I pick up Miss Kitty tomorrow morning) but I just have to let the world know what a blessing it was that I found CKCR. Miss Kitty's previous "owner" died in March and her family could not take her in. We connected "by accident" on FB in June, and we've now been together, slowly adjusting, for just four months.

Meanwhile, after several challenging/failed attempts to get her into her carrier so we could leave for a building exterminator appointment, and after cancelling several appointments, I worked with her treats for a week and she walked easily into the carrier. But the appt was delayed four hours after I had already gotten her into the carrier, and we would need to be gone from the apartment for four hours after that. I was so worried about her being in the carrier for so long that I started crying, quite to my surprise. A dear friend suggested that I findi a boarding service so she could be comfortable during the time.

Thank you, Google maps!. I was so grateful to get CKCR on the phone. Bridget called me right back and guided me through the intake process, including making sure we had documentation of shots & spaying. I had her records, but not everything was clear at first. Bridget was so kind and reassuring, as I was crying on and off during the conversation. (Lot's of old feelings to process later on!) She also suggested several things, like a piece of clothing with my scent I could bring to help Miss Kitty feel at home. I felt so relieved.

CKCR is less than a mile away, and another dear friend was available to drive me and Miss Kitty, with Kitty meow/howling and me crying on and off! When we got there, we were so warmly welcomed by Bridget, who showed us Miss Kitty's "condo" and set it all up with food, litter, and the "comfy" items I had brought. I also saw a fabulous play area and she assured me that Miss Kitty will be fine and she will send pictures. I also watched as Miss Kitty tried to dash off when Bridget opened the carrier, and Bridget simply reached under her belly and guided her into the condo. I did not know how to do that! I am so relieved and grateful, and thank the Universe for this blessed gift! And I feel very sure that anything I add to this tomorrow morning will be nothing but positive.“

“The staff is kind and takes the time to build rapport with their clients. I receive updates with photos on every walk, which is a nice touch. The prices are also very reasonable.“

“Joe and his team are nothing short of awesome. We had an older doodle and Joe, Kaitlyn and David took her as they found her and challenged her on group walks when she was up to it. But did slower solo walks when she wasn’t. They really care about the dogs in their care and never just phone it in. They are worth every penny and really add to a pet’s quality of life.“

“I highly recommend Bella! My little pup, Zoey received the care and attention she needed. Bella  is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. It was incredibly helpful and comforting to me knowing Bella is an experienced vet technician since Zoey has some GI sensitivity. I love all the pics and videos Bella sent. She even had Zoey FaceTime me! You will not be disappointed!“

“My dogs run inside because they’re so excited to be here when they come. they go straight back to Play and run around and meet the other dogs. Jacque is awesome and the best.“

“Been very happy with them. I take my puppy there every Sat morning and it's a great way for her to run around and socialize. Patrick is very caring, who is one of the trainers“

“From start to finish, great service. Pippa has come home relaxed and beautiful too ?“

“I've been bringing my dog, Bixby, to Dogtopia of Falls Church since he was six months old for socialization and to work out his puppy energy. He's now two years old and still enjoying every minute he's there. He definitely has mellowed-out but, once he's in Dogtopia's lobby, his puppy energy returns because of the enthusiastic greeting he gets from the coaches and staff. He always comes home happy and tired.“

“Stella had a great time during her stay. We received photos and videos while she was there. She came home happy and tired.“

“The staff here is amazing and my family has a long-standing relationship with them. Indy, my parents Vizsla who unfortunately recently passed, stayed here whenever my parents were out of town. In her younger years, Indy would do doggy daycare… sometimes three times a week even. We never had a bad situation. More recently, my GSP, Duke, has been boarded here about four times of various stays. Every prior location Duke was boarded, he would come back sad and act as if I abandoned him. At CCC, he is excited to see me but has no resentment towards me for leaving him. The staff is well trained, the animals are well taken care of, and I do not stress about Duke when I occasionally leave town. Thanks CCC for the great care!“

“Our pup, Hydrangea, loves coming here almost every day! The staff are very kind and they are friendly with each individual dog. They remember me when I come to pick up Hydra and are always very helpful and attentive to her needs. Plus, the periodic photo days are adorable.“

“My cat was shedding a little bit (or so I thought…) si I called the groomer. This is what the groomer got out! My vacuum will be happy.“
