Pet Sitting near Reston

“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.“

“Being new to the area it was great to finally have everything and I mean everything all in one place. From daycare to boarding to grooming to webcams, to the personal touches like a “room with a view” ( with a window ), snuggles, playtime and pool time if you like. They have so many options of activities and extra pampering to choose from at great prices, you won’t regret coming here. From walking in and smelling a clean facility to The employees being passionate about what they do. They gave me confidence and comfort as I was anxious about interactions with other dogs being we are fairly new dog parents to him,but it seems I need the training not the dog ?He did great. I watched the webcam all day. He’s all booked for his paw-cation and spa day now!“

“My two cats have been professionally cared for while I am away by Lisa and her great group of pet sitters. I would highly recommend them for your own travel and daily needs.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Very friendly humans. They took their time to answer all of my questions. I like that they have an outdoor space where the dogs are rotated to it every couple of hours. They treat my dog like a human child at daycare. They are very thoughtful and caring and they even have fun toy activities after nap time. I also appreciate the structured environment. I am very happy with Dogtopia and I feel comfortable with leaving my dog there.“
