Pet Boarding Training near Potomac

“I have brought my dog to this vet for 6 years now for her annual checkups and also getting her spade. They provide great service and convenient location.“

“My dog, Jameson, loves Healthy Hound! He goes for daycare about once per week, and he's done boarding a few times. The staff is wonderful - they know him by name and make sure he's comfortable and well-loved. He's always excited when I drop him off for his day of napping and being spoiled. The facility is spotless and run very professionally. I am very happy to have found such a great option for my old boy.“

“I can’t say enough great things about working with Mike. I came to him with my five-year-old dog who was reactive toward other dogs and generally anxious around people. What Mike did went far beyond simply addressing those issues: he helped build a better understanding between me and my dog. Our relationship has completely transformed and we understand each other so much better now.

Over the 12 weeks we worked together (once a week), Mike provided a variety of training techniques and practical tips that made a huge difference in my dog’s behavior, obedience, and confidence. The training was real-world practice. We spent time at the Reston Town Center, surrounded by people and other dogs, applying everything in a real-life setting. I never imagined my dog could calmly sit or lie down in a busy store full of distractions, but that’s exactly what we achieved by week three. As for her dog reactivity, I can’t believe the difference! She’s always been a high-energy dog, so seeing her stay calm even when other dogs are barking or reacting is absolutely incredible.

Glad, who handled scheduling, was also fantastic. She was so accommodating and flexible whenever something unavoidable came up. The entire experience felt personal, thoughtful, and focused on real results.

If you’re looking for a dog trainer who not only knows what they’re doing but genuinely cares about helping you and your dog build a stronger bond, I can’t recommend Mike enough.“

“Giving Tree took excellent care of our dog and cat. They sent us photos of our pets enjoying their stay, going on walks and playing. We will definitely have our pets stay there again!“

“My reactive dog and I were met with kindness at every step of the way. Dr. Apryl and her team took their time, did no unnecessary poking or prodding, had an endless supply of treats and encouragement and resources.
We are very grateful to have found this practice!“

“I was in a tough spot needing last-minute care for my 6-month-old puppy, and Poochpals came through in the biggest way. Josh was so responsive. They visited twice a day, sent photos after every visit, and kept me updated while I had to be away all day for work. I’ve found my go-to pet sitters and couldn’t recommend them more highly!“

“Very pleased with Woofies. Scheduled two walks a day for my two golden doodles for 4 days. The person assigned came every day on time and sent me a nice summary of the walk in addition to photos and a map of the path walked. Thank you Laura for taking care of my dogs and allowing me to feel confident that they are fine in my absence.“

“Saying goodbye to our dog was one of the hardest things we’ve ever gone through. The team at this clinic treated us with so much kindness, patience, and compassion during such a painful moment.

Two weeks later, we received a handwritten sympathy card from the doctors. It honestly meant more to us than I can explain. In a time when we were grieving, that small but thoughtful gesture reminded us that we weren’t alone — and that our dog truly mattered to them too.

Thank you for caring not just for our pet, but for us as well. We will always be grateful for the love and humanity you showed our family“

“Very friendly staff. Very clean and not smelly. They are thorough and gave me a report card for how my dog's day went. Recently switched to Houndstown from another facility and have been happy I did so far.“

“Caring and accommodating staff. Our Maggie seems to thrive in Daycare, arriving home exhausted after each adventure.“

“Thank you, Tom, for giving me and my family the tools to ensure our Cavapoo puppy grew up to be a wonderful dog. We get compliments all of the time on how well behaved and responsive she is. We have recommended you to many people in the community. Your training gave us peace of mind when we have her off leash (in safe places), and when she is in our home. I am so much more confident as a dog owner with your help and support!!“

“That a great vet, office and day care! My pup just loves going there, even for his shots. The staff is so nice and Jesse loves everyone there. And the doggie day care is amazing. Thank you for taking care of my little furry guy!“

“I had to leave town on a family emergency the week of Christmas and they were super accommodating taking my 2 dogs with very short notice.“

“My first visit to Kenhaven was when my 19 year old cat, Pandora, had to be euthanized. The staff were so compassionate, kind, and understanding. I felt cared for and I knew that my baby was in good hands leaving the world.“

“Amazing experience I got my two boys groomed. They are senior dogs and have some arthritis in the back legs and some skin issues. She worked with and bathed them with a special shampoo for skin allergy. Also got recommended products for skin allergies and possible different diets for allergy sensitive dogs. She sent me pictures through out and updated me with anything I needed to know. Quick to responded and very timely. I recommend Anyone taking their time to do research on a good groomer to definitely take you dogs here. I couldn’t have had a better experience.“

“One of the best basic training that covers at least seven commands that are useful in many situations. Being in a class with a trainer and assistant trainers is fantastic. As a first time dog owner I learned a lot about communicating with my pup.“

“My cats' treatment has been wonderful at Kenwood. They couldn't have been more caring when one of my cats dropped dead. And they greeted the new cat (a Siberian) enthusiastically, and on his fourth visit called out his name when we entered for a checkup. The assistants and the receptionists are also very welcoming. Yes, with a Jaguar parking can be difficult but the advantages of having caring vets and staff makes up for it.“

“If you're looking for reliable, caring dog walking services, we couldn't recommend Pant & Wag more highly!

They take our high-energy dog, Coco, for weekly adventures, and it's been such a game-changer for us. Sean is absolutely incredible and so caring with our pup - we can tell Coco has a total blast every single time.

The convenience of pick-up and drop-off at our house is fantastic, but what really sets this service apart is Sean's genuine care for the dogs. When we went into labor with our son, Sean picked up our dog without hesitation. During such a major life transition, we felt completely reassured knowing she was in the best possible hands.

The recap emails after each hike are also amazing! We love getting the photos and detailed descriptions of where they went and what our dog experienced. It's so thoughtful and helps us feel connected to her adventure even when we can't be there.

Sean is truly exceptional - you can tell this isn't just a job for him, but a genuine passion. Our high-energy pup always comes home happy and tired, which is exactly what we hoped for.“

“Highly recommend DogOn Fitness for all your pup’s exercise and care needs. We’ve worked with various walkers for years and this company is the BEST in terms of reliability, quality of care, and communication. Our rescue pup’s leash reactivity has hugely improved after starting pack walks with Joe and Raul! Worth every penny!“

“I haven’t personally used DogOn Fitness, but I’ve known one of the owners for years. She’s one of those people who just gets dogs — super dedicated, reliable, and genuinely passionate about their well-being. I’ve seen how seriously she takes both the care of animals and running a solid business. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, you’re in great hands with DogOn Fitness.“

“Palisades Vet has been great. They have treated both of my cats very well, whether it is vet appointments, occasional boarding stays when I am out of town, or dental work. The staff is friendly as well. I know my cats are in good hands with the people there.“

“Steve definitely has the talent to understand dogs' behavior! He is very knowledgeable to introduce proper collar, leash, or even e collar at different stages. I wish I knew him when my German Shepperd was a puppy! Steve trained me and my dog patiently; I am very satisfied with the result!“

“Gwen is outstanding at her craft. She is by far the best of all the trainers we have used for our dogs. She really understands the mind of the dog and what the owners should do to mold the dog's behavior. Her advice is worth every penny we paid. Cannot recommend Gwen highly enough.“

“Happy paws has taken such good care of our dog during day care and for boarding. Our dog loves all the people who work there and they clearly love him back. John the lead trainer has given me very helpful behavioral and training tips when asked, and they also recently started working on skills with the dogs in daycare. I can’t say enough positive words about Happy paws.“

“Very happy with Ken Haven. Dr. Manzoor, the pet techs and front office. Staff are helpful, efficient kind, gentle. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because I can't compare prices to other vets. I do know they helped us during Covid which sadly our historical vet was not able to. Highly recommend KenHaven animal hospital“

“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“
