Pet Sitting near Fairfax

“Our dogs love this place. In the morning when we get ready they want their harnesses on so they can go. If they could, they would go every day! (This is now true going on almost 6+ years)
The staff is super friendly and a delight.
That said, a word of caution regarding change in policies. The passes, that are paid for in advance, now expire in 6 months. IMHO, that is not nice. The passes aren't that heavily discounted, they are paid for up front, and so to me personally that will only discourage folks like me from paying in advance and instead cause congestion by lining up to pay when picking up.“

“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.“

“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.“

“They are amazing. They’re professional, knowledgeable, and our pup loves them. We know our dog is in good hands and he’s really come out of his shell since going there. Highly recommend the Backyard Pack!“

“We lost our baby girl yesterday and it happened so quick. When we showed up they were so fast to act and made sure we knew what was going on. When there was nothing left to be done be done they gave us the space and time to say goodbye. In all we only interacted with them for 30 minutes but they made a very hard time as easy as possible. Thank you to everyone who helped Dottie cross the rainbow bridge.“

“Dudes Dogs bent over backwards for us! We had an emergency and had to board our dog who had a small wound which she licked into a larger wound at Dudes Dogs due to being away from home. They called us and we gave them permission to take her to our vet. The owner (constant contact with me with text and photos) came and picked her up and waited with our sweet dog as she got some antibiotics. Dudes Dog team were so caring and throughly took care of our dog as we said our goodbye to a dear friend. Dudes Dogs is an amazing place that you can trust your furry family member is in good hands all the time. xoxox“

“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.“

“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!“

“We recently found this place and it was a very good experience. Very caring and efficient staff.“

“We have been taking our Sheepadoodle Andi to Dog-A-Do for years. She loves the staff. And we love their work. Our Andi leaves our house a shaggy mess but looks wounderful when we pick her up. Fair price, professional staff, efficient service. Highly recommended.“
