Pet Sitting in 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.“

“Aunt Abby has visited with our pets when we were out of town for the past five years. We have both dogs and cats, and she treats every one of them as if they are her own. It’s such a relief to know that we can rely on her, and we don’t have to worry about them. She has helped us out at the last minute, short stays, longer stays— I can’t say enough about how blessed we are to have her!“
