Pet Boarding Training near Fort Washington

“Went to have my husky bath great service. Will be my new spot going to get him signed up for some training“

“I was looking for a new boarding facility for our two fur babies and after reading the reviews and speaking with Happy Cat, we decided to board our two young cats for a week and a half. I am always super anxious when we have to board our cats, but Happy Cat did such an amazing job that I didn't have to worry at all. When we dropped our cats off, they let us take them back to their room and get them settled. The staff did not rush us and allowed us time to make sure our cats felt comfortable before we left. Each room has its own theme with ample hiding cubbies, beds, toys, climbing wall shelves and plenty of windows. You can tell that Happy Cat Hotel carefully designed the rooms to allow the cats to be comfortable and to have an enriching stay.

During their stay, we received daily updates with photos of their adventures. We also opted to add the webcam, so we were able to check in on them. We got to watch the staff interact with our cats and they were always so kind and gentle - each staff member took amazing care of our babies.

If you are looking for a place, we highly recommend this place and have already booked a week stay in November for Thanksgiving. Thank you so much Happy Cat for taking such amazing care of our babies while we were away - we are forever grateful for you.

P.S. some of your staff members could become cat photographers. We have some excellent photos that I have now used as my phone background.

THANK YOU!!!!!“

“I am beyond grateful to have found Kim! There is not a dog nor a dog owner out there who could not benefit from working with Kim. I had a puppy that was already doing really well overall, but I wanted to understand how to improve various foundational elements of training with my puppy to set us up better for the next 15-20 years. I appreciated how Kim truly listened to my concerns and how attentive she was to the unique needs of my particular puppy. My puppy and I learned so much from Kim and I can't get over how transformative just one month of sessions with Kim has been. I really appreciated what a clear communicator Kim is and how thoroughly she shared notes regarding sessions when I was not present. I also appreciated how flexible she was in terms of scheduling sessions.

To sum up, Kim is an incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate trainer with an endless amount of ideas and resources to share with you. If you're thinking about working with Kim, I can confidently say it is absolutely worth every penny!“

“Everyone is very friendly and love your pet like their own. They are very knowledgeable about dog behavior. I had a serious problem with my dogs fighting ea h other. I turned their training over to Autumn and her crew, and now I have peace in the household.“

“Long overdue post. Outstanding Care for Senior Pets! We moved to the area in 2021 and have been bringing our Min Pins, Tigger and JJ, to Southern Oasis ever since. The care they've received has always been top-notch. As JJ aged and his health declined, the staff went above and beyond to give him the extra attention and TLC he needed. Their dedication to senior pets is phenomenal. Sadly, JJ crossed the rainbow bridge this year, but Tigger continues to enjoy his stays at Southern Oasis. I know Tigger is in good hands whenever I drop him off. The staff understands his needs as he enters his senior years, and they always greet him with excitement. He's spoiled rotten during every stay, and it gives me such peace of mind. Tigger has also stayed at their Clinton location in the Small Dog House and has done just as well there. Both the Waldorf and Clinton locations truly go the extra mile to keep Tigger happy and healthy. I can't recommend Southern Oasis enough for anyone looking for a caring, attentive place for their pets, especially seniors! I can't say thank you enough to the ownership and wonderful staff that make Southern Oasis great!“

“My dogs always love being at Anchors Kennel! The only Kennel I trust taking my dogs to.“

“We’ve had a few 1-1 sessions with Lauren to help with our reactive dog, Chloe, as well as monthly pack walks. She has been nothing short of phenomenal and has helped us so much! She taught us the skills and tools to help work with Chloe and we have seen tremendous progress! Additionally, Off Collar is our go-to for pet sitting services. Chloe absolutely adores Katherine who does a great job of making sure our pup is cared for when we are out of town. I can’t speak highly enough about their care and services and would definitely recommend.“

“Brianna is WONDERFUL! She has extensive experience working with dogs and is always continuing to educate herself so that she can provide a truly customized and effective approach to dog training for her clients. She is kind and compassionate and able to give her clients attainable action steps to help them live a healthier life with their dog. Brianna's great sense of humor also makes working with her so much fun! Her Saturday group classes are an amazing opportunity for clients to continue working with their dogs.“

“Pillars Equestrian is truly a special place. From the well-maintained facilities to the superior care to the professional management and the warm and friendly people, Pillar’s is an exceptional home for horse and rider. Redha is a gifted trainer – he can take a horse at any level and bring out its very best. I recently had the privilege of spending three glorious months training with Redha. It is not an overstatement to say that my riding was fundamentally transformed in this short amount of time. Thank you, Pillars!!“

“Doggy day - absolutely amazing. The staff and the dogs are just amazing. The staff are so engaged with all the dogs. They are so engaged and observe when things seem off with the pups.We are working with Tim (dog trainer) to help my pup and it’s so great because he does it during daycare, after hours and weekends and even comes to our home.Boarding - oh my heart. The citrates little bed and biscuits ever! Plenty of exercise, lots of play and was even able to get him fully groomed.I can’t say enough about the positive experience we have had with this place!“

“We took our very reactive dog, Toast, to both private lessons and two classes. We were recommended to take him to the dogs with big feelings class. It helped Toast be less reactive to other dogs. In 6 months he went from running at any dog that he saw to calmly being an example dog in his intro class, Good Dog 101 with Paul.

He used to bark for attention and throw temper tantrums to the point we couldn't even talk for 5 minutes. Sandy, who was extremely knowledgeable, worked with us to gently correct his behavior to a truly great dog.“

“By far the best customer service. I really appreciate the time they take to accommodate.“

“My baby’s first grooming appointment with Tatiana was a success. She was so pretty with the bows on her ears. Her hair did get matted quickly, but that’s out of their control. I’ll definitely be back for another grooming session.“

“They take great care of the dogs and have good pricing for the DMV. Always hard to get in for Xmas so beware they have high demand :)“

“I just got my yorkie Dallas groomed today and I am absolutely pleased! Angel have been grooming all my pets since 2012, she is hands down the best groomer I've had. Her products are great and my dogs have a fresh smell for days after. They provide the best service and the haircuts are exactly what you asked for. Please give her a try you will be 100% satisfied. Thanks Angel and Whitney see you'll in a month.“

“When I called Theresa was so helpful and assured me she’d call me if there were any cancellations which she did! I really appreciated her as I really wanted to get my dog in that day. Dr. Embree is always wonderful. She listens, asks questions, shares her knowledge and is always so calm around my skittish girl!“

“08-19-23This is the best place to do training for your dog. It's a lot of fun to watch the agility training.“

“I had such a great time with my golden Finn! We’re new to the area and we move around a lot so we’ve been to a lot of vets. I’ve found it hard to find ones I like. This team was amazing and we’re happy to be patients here as long as we’re in the area.“

“Jules is great! She always finds a way to squeeze an appointment in for me at the last minute. My rescue- comes out smelling wonderful, looks clean and the added bandana they put on my her- was the icing on the cake. She got a bath -it included a nail trim, drying, shampoo, brushing, a spritz of breath freshener after teeth brushing and an ear cleaning. I recommend Sonny's if you're in the Rosehill area of Alexandria and are looking for a dog/pet groomer- don't forget to Tip?“

“Great experience for a great price! I took my long-haired, Siberian Forest Cat here for grooming services and I had the works done (nails, bath, and blow dry). The staff were friendly, professional, and fast, and Leo came out looking and smelling great. I've already scheduled my next appointment! Thank you, Petco :)“

“Amazing! Dr. Diarra is a subject matter expert in the care of animals. He took my dog within the first 10 minutes of being there, assessed her, gave her a shot to relive her itching and explained everything step by step. He was clear on all the meds needed and I didn't mind paying the price as I received wonderful service for my dog Nala. Bring your dog here for personal service. They are wonderful here and I really appreciated their staff helping me get her cone on her head lol!“

“The staff at Del Ray Animal Hospital are so compassionate and professional. I never have to wait very long to check in. Dr Morrow is a true gem and extremely thorough. My senior dog has multiple health issues which all are improving with her comprehensive care! We definitely feel well cared for here!“
