    Does anyone have a recommended pet sitting service. I have an older dog who requires special attention, 3 visits/day, for 10+ days while the family is on vacation.

    Please - previous customers with first-hand experience and actual testimonials only.

    Thank you.

    We have used Woofies a few times now - - we have an older dog plus two younger dogs - they did a great job, very friendly and dogs loved them

    We've used Best Kept Pets and are using them again soon. The owner, Yvette is WONDERFUL!!! She can be reached at: 703-729-3575. They've been recognized a couple times in Washingtonian Magazine.

    I have used Inn To Dogs for three years now and am extremely pleased! It's owned by a husband and wife (Ashleigh) who work out of their home in Stafford. (I know, it's far, but she picks up and delivers if you wish). I've always paid for the "Luxury Suite" in which my dog gets the run of the house and sleeps in their room at night. Here is the website if you wish to take a look. www.InnToDogs.com

    I've never felt comfortable with leaving my pets at home alone or kenneling them. This was perfect solution. Of course, I may pay a little more than other places, I'm not sure, but nothing is too much for peace of mind.

    Good luck in your search.

    We used Four Paws Concierge Service http://www.fourpawspetconcierge.com/
    Shawn was FABULOUS and kept a journal for every visit. We had her come 3x/day and she was soooooooo great! HIGHLY recommended!!!
