Pet boarding/training near Silver Spring

Dances with Dogs

2703 Loma St, Silver Spring

“We learned so much about training dogs in general and, more importantly, so much about our Corgi/Husky Ruthie. You gave us insight about the breeds and also about Ruthie's individual personality. You were spot on and we have used this insight over the years since training. We just go back from a cross-country driving trip with Ruthie from Maryland to California and back. I'm happy to say that Ruthie has a five-star rating as an Airbnb guest! Once in California, we used several strategies with Ruthie as we were in a new place. The best was letting her choose the direction to go for a walk. Your training sessions onsite and our individual walks with you in our neighborhood were essential to understanding Ruthie.”

“I have been taking my puppy Ollie here since he was a few months old. My groomer is fantastic and so good with him since he can get nervous. Ollie goes to doggie day care when needed and also I have boarded him when traveling. He loves it there and I never worry about his care. Staff are so friendly and loving to all the dogs in their care.”

Pooch Pals LLC - Dog Walker

3601 Fairfax Dr, Arlington

Sat Open 24 hours

“Josh responded immediately to my last minute request for a mid morning weekday dog walker from Wed through the following Friday. Raymond came the next day. Raymond is a caring and gentle dog walker who genuinely likes dogs. He greeted our deaf senior guy every day and was great with our one-year old cav who took to him and readily left with Raymond who he had literally met 5 minutes earlier. The only note is that $25 for a 15 minute walk is more than almost all walkers on Rover who walk the dog minimally for 20 minutes charging from $14-$25. That said, Josh clearly has a well vetted team and i would call upon him again without hesitation.”

Petvacx Animal Hospital

Sat 8AM - 1PM

“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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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”

Atlas Doghouse

1375 H St NE, Washington

Sat 8AM - 5PM

“I wish this daycare will take adult humans. We're always greeted with smiles, even when it's 7am. My dog doesn't even look back when she goes in and she's absolutely exhausted when we pick her up. That last part is an impossible task. On my dog's birthday, they threw a little birthday party for her just because. It helps that it smells good in there too. Despite that there's, like, a lot of dogs in there.”

“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!!”

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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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 ??”

Capital Kitty Cat Resort

1632 17th St NW, Washington

Sat 10AM - 6PM

“We tried boarding our highly anxious cat for the first time while abroad so someone could give her the anti-anxiety pills every morning.<br><br>While our baby had a complete meltdown and became highly aggressive as soon as we left, the staff did everything they could to calm her and make her more comfortable. We were given updates on her status everyday and, at some points, were in even closer/more constant contact as we were concerned. At no point did they give up trying and when I came in early to pick her up, I could see just how much they cared for her and at no point did anyone blame her, they were so sympathetic to her anxiety kept reassuring me that she was not aggressive, she was just distressed, which is the exact mentality you would want from the people taking care of you pet for a weekend.<br><br>To the owners and staff, I just want to truly thank you all so much for the way you handled the situation and how you took such great care of our cat where many places would have given up with the behavior she was exhibiting.<br><br>For anyone looking to board their cat who can handle separation better, I highly recommend Capital Kitty.”

NOVA Cat Clinic

3838 Cathedral Ln, Arlington

Sat Closed

“I really appreciate cat-only clinics — the staff are always so attuned to feline needs and provide wonderful care. I’ve been taking my cat to NOVA Cat Clinic for three years and highly recommend it to other cat parents. The vets and techs are sensitive to my cat’s preferences, gentle during exams, and take time to explain everything clearly. When my cat shows signs of stress, they never push; instead, they suggest coming back another day for bloodwork if needed, which makes visits much more comfortable for all of us. The clinic itself is calm, clean, and clearly designed with cats’ comfort in mind. I’m so grateful to have such a compassionate and knowledgeable team caring for my cat.”

Prince George's Animal Hospital

7440 Annapolis Rd, Hyattsville

Sat 8AM - 10PM

“Aside from some punctuality issues due to the snow, their rates are very competitive and the bedside manner of care seems to be genuine and professional. My dog needed 2 incisors removed from what I thought was only 1. Someone needs to recommend volunteers here because they are short staffed. Anyway so far so good when it comes to the service my dog received. Recommended. I’ll be back and hopefully they can continue doing good work on my beloved pet.”

District Dogs Shaw

“As someone who is only spending 3 nights in the city, I was able to set up and appointment and get my dog in a reliable day care within a few steps and a phone call. Drop off and pick up was very easy, they were able to handle my special accommodation requests like a private suite that many other businesses weren’t able to. And getting pictures of the puppy when we’re touring was the sweetest.”

Dupont Veterinary Clinic

2022 P St NW, Washington

Sat 9AM - 4PM

“Today we took our dog Luna to the veterinarian, Dr. Logan Murray, and we had such a great experience. My husband and I live in Georgetown, and we had trouble finding a good vet for a long time — but we finally found DuPont Veterinary Clinic, and they were amazing.<br><br>Dr. Logan Murray is a genuinely kind and caring person. He treated Luna so gently and patiently, and Luna was very well-behaved thanks to how comfortable he made her feel. The examination was very thorough, and while discussing which vaccines Luna needed, he was extremely honest. If something wasn’t necessary for her, he said so and never tried to push extra services or take our money. That level of honesty really means a lot to us.<br><br>The assistants working there were also amazing — very professional, attentive, and kind. The clinic was spotless and very clean. This was our first time visiting, and we’re pretty sure this will be our regular vet from now on. Even the treats they gave Luna were great!<br><br>Thank you so much for everything. We highly recommend Dr. Logan Murray and DuPont Veterinary Clinic.”

DOG GROOMING SERVICES

2809 Columbia Pike, Arlington

Sat 7:30AM - 5:30PM

“I came here after reading mixed reviews online, so I wasn’t fully sure what to expect. Honestly, the experience ended up being pretty good. My border collie was covered in mud after a weekend outdoors, and they managed to get him spotless without shaving his coat too short. There was about a twenty-minute delay at pickup because they were understaffed that day, but the front desk apologized and kept customers informed. My dog looked happy, smelled clean, and slept peacefully all evening afterward.”

Kenwood Animal Hospital Inc

5439 Butler Rd, Bethesda

Sat Closed

“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.”
