I had nothing but professional reliable service no different than I would with a family member and with their background checks it assures me that the safety of my dog and my home is priority. I couldn't ask for anyone better to take care of my beloved members of the family. I recommend to everyone I talk to!

We have had a fantastic experience with A-Plus Pets. Andrew is our usual dog walker and he is so kind and considerate. Our dogs love him! Not only is he a great dog walker, he also goes above and beyond to be helpful when he is at our home. Last week, Andrew came into the house and found my 14 month old screaming and crying in his playpen while I was cleaning up a shattered glass. I had bronchitis and the baby had an ear infection, so we were both super miserable. Andrew immediately jumped into action and volunteered to entertain my son while I cleaned. It was a life saver. We so appreciate Andrew and A-Plus Pets. We highly recommend them!

I highly recommend Thanh and A-Plus pets. We benefitted from their services for 5 years while we lived in McLean. During that time we had mid day walks, overnight stays, and weekend stays for our dog. We got written feedback after every walk and visit. Thanh has a professional, responsible, and professional team of employees that are passionate about animals.

Wonderful owner, wonderful team, they always take care of my boys with the best service. Thanh always accommodates my last minute requests when I travel, even in bad weather. They go as far to pick up my mail, water my plants, and always leave a great summary of their day. Definitely recommend them!

We have been using A-Plus Pets since we moved to the area 4 years ago, and I couldn't be happier with the service. Thanh and her team have worked with us over the years and provided superior care for our two golden retrievers. I also feel that each sitter knows the individual needs of my pet and is able to give customized care based on their needs. For example--one of our dogs is older now with some health issues and requires hand feeding.
We have had many overnight stays with A-Plus Pets when the family was away on vacation and each time we returned our dogs were calm and relaxed--a sure sign that they enjoyed their babysitters! We have also used the company to fill in for work situations when I travel and can't be home through the day. They have even come by on a last minute phone call when circumstances arose that I could not get home in time. I appreciate that my home is also well cared for when we are away. If you are looking for a responsible, caring, and dependable service, I highly recommend A-Plus Pets!
