Pet Sitting near Lorton

“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!“

“Very happy with the grooms of my Aussie, Pomeranian, and long-haired chihuahua. Had all three of them groomed at once and was pleasantly surprised at checkout which is always a plus!“

“Our 17 year old dog was really struggling so we took him in yesterday, fearing the worst. Of course, an hour or so before our appt., the dog showed new signs of life & was was running everywhere. Spoiler alert: We brought him home. We consulted with Dr. Burbrink upon arrival. She was unbelievable. She came in, sat with us, told us that we can expect many more ups and downs, then examined our dog and gave him some meds for muscles and for pain. He seems to be doing much better. We know we're only buying time, but it's important time. Dr. Burbrink was so kind, so understanding, so patient. she took the time to explain to us what was going on with him and the intended goal of the treatment plan. She got down on the floor to examine him and was so nice to him. He doesn't always tolerate people, but she was great and the dog was nice to her. But I really wanted to post a review because she really was just exceptional.“

“Laura has been our pet sitter for years. We always feel so much better planning a trip or any time away knowing that she will take good care of our cats. She leaves detailed notes and sends pictures with each visit to let us know how things are going. Sometimes I think they are excited when we leave because they know that Laura will come to visit them !“

“We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Jenn from Paw Keepers Pet Care while we were away on a 3-week cruise. From the very beginning, Jenn proved to be incredibly reliable, friendly, attentive, and truly caring—everything you hope for when trusting someone with your pets and your home. Her consistency and dependability gave us total peace of mind the entire time we were away.

Jenn went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just “check in” on our cats—she genuinely spent quality time with them, making sure to include playtime during her visits, learning their personalities, and ensuring each one got the attention they needed. It was obvious from the photos and videos that Zan, Rosie, and Luna were comfortable, engaged, and thriving under her care.

What really set Jenn apart was her exceptional communication. Every single day, she sent detailed updates letting us know how things were going, along with thoughtful notes about each visit. Even better, she frequently included photo collages or videos of our cats—Zan, Rosie, and Luna—which absolutely made our day while we were traveling. It was so reassuring (and honestly heartwarming) to see them happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for.

If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely compassionate pet sitter, we cannot recommend Jenn and Paw Keepers Pet Care highly enough. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!“

“Wonderful staff! The best, cage-free boarding and terrific combo of indoor and outdoor daycare play. Highly recommended!“

“All Breeds Dog Walking is hands-down one of the best services we’ve ever used. From day one, their professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for dogs truly stood out. They treated Choppy like family, paying close attention to his individual personality energy levels, and needs. Choppy comes back from every walk happy, calm, and clearly well cared for which says everything. They always send pics as well.

Communication is excellent, scheduling is easy, and it’s such a relief knowing our dog is in safe, experienced hands. Whether rain or shine, they’re dependable and always go the extra mile. If you’re looking for a dog walking service that is trustworthy, compassionate, and truly passionate about what they do, All Breeds Dog Walking is simply unbeatable. Highly, highly recommended! ?“

“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’ve been visiting Kaiser for grooming appointments for the last 8 years for our two corgis. Laura and her team has always been incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and loving with our corgis…one of whom doesn’t love the grooming process. So it’s no surprise that we reached out to her for advice when our corgi, Gatsby, was having intense resource guarding issues. I reached out for advice as I was feeling like we had no choice but to rehome him. She offered to come over the next day to assess his behavior and offer some training support as a last ditch effort. I am SO glad I did because he has been a changed dog the last several months. We’ve worked with countless trainers on this issue and none suggested the strategies she offered but her strategies worked almost immediately. She looked at him holistically and offered ideas for us to build his trust, offer a calmer environment, all while managing his problematic behaviors. We went from feeling like we had no chance but to rehome Gatsby to feeling confident about supporting him and his needs. We can’t recommend Laura and her team enough!“

“While our pets are our most prized possessions, we know it’s hard to curb some of their habits. Angie met with me one on one where she answered all my questions and explained next steps/future lessons. After my three other one on one sessions, Angie truly cared about my dog. She was responsive, attentive to her behaviors and supportive of me, both in class and via text. Needless to say, I have a well mannered dog now that enjoys learning more in dog class. I’d highly recommend others to take this training!“
