KSR Pet Care

I have done private training with Kathryn and group training classes.  Both have been incredibly helpful for breaking some of my dogs bad habits!  They have specificially helped with leash reactivity.  All of the trainers I have worked with have been non-judgmental, friendly, and knowledgeable!

I am incredibly happy with KSR and would highly recommend their services. The introduction/overview meeting answered all my questions and allowed me to explain the quirks of our cat and our house. Our wonderful sitter, Aki, kept very thorough notes and regularly sent texts and videos to let us know how our cat was doing. While on my much-needed vacation, I was completely comfortable and reassured that my cat was in great care. The evidence of that was clear when we returned home. Our cat, who needs lots of attention, was unfazed by our return, just happy and relaxed from her "adventures with Aki."  I definitely recommend them! More...

KSR has been wonderful. Ashley has been great sitting my two cats, making sure they're taken care of whenever I've had to be out of town. She even sends me pictures of them so my wife and I can see them and know they're doing just fine. The staff at the office had also been incredibly professional and accommodating whenever I needed to schedule something quickly or had any questions or requests. Now that we've moved far away, unfortunately Ashley and KSR aren't to sit for us anymore. But I know if we ever came back to the area, we'd call them in a heartbeat. More...

I wanted to write an update -- We no longer use KSR because our senior shiba passed away last fall.  (Although if we decide to get another dog, we certainly will go back to KSR! )  Marja, who was her daily walker was unbelievably compassionate and caring for our dog as her health declined in the last few months.  She suffered from CCG (Doggie alzheimer's) and had many accidents in the house.  Marja always cleaned them up and still took her out to walk as best as she could.  When we decided it was time to put our beloved dog down, Marja expressed her sincere condolences and shared how much she also loved her.  She came over later that week and brought us a card and a lovely orchid which we still have in our window sill.  KSR is a fantastic organization and I would recommend their services 110%.

Really nice and professional pet care service. Always there when I need them. They are thoughtful enough to snap a picture of my dog and send it to me each time they visit. Highly recommended.

I am thrilled with KSR Pet Care. We have a regularly scheduled dog walker (Aki) who comes mid-day 3 times a week during the school year, and once a week during the summer break. Aki is wonderful - she writes detailed notes after each visit, and she makes sure our overweight dog gets plenty of exercise during their walks. She has even texted picture updates of our dog and two cats on various occasions (even though she is technically only there to see the dog). Christy, the office manager with KSR Pet Care, is super responsive and always e-mails me back within the day that I e-mail. Julie is also great about fast responses. It is easy to schedule appointments, and their initial consultation and meeting with the dog walkers is thorough and personable. The cost is comparable to other dog walking companies in the area, but I feel like you get a lot more with this company than you do with other ones (I actually researched 3 other companies with KSR, and this was hands down the best one of the 4.).

We have used KSR for daily dog walking services for the past 6 months and cannot say enough nice things. We had used another local dog walking/daycare service to come walk our puppy and had a horrible experience - the walker wouldn't show up some days, they left no note or documentation to prove they stopped by, and they canceled on us with one day's notice. KSR was flexible, friendly and immediately available to help - for a better rate as well! We worked with Aki and Kathryn who were both amazing with our dog! They left daily notes that detailed the exact time they were at the house, what they did on their 20 minute walk, and even let us know whether or not our dog used the bathroom! We knew we really loved them though, when we were dogsitting for some friends and Aki took both dogs out for no additional cost. I can't say enough nice things about KSR - every single one of them are professionals and treat your pet with the utmost respect and care. More...

For people who worry about their cats while they are away:  professional, reliable, cost-effective cat careWe were referred to KSR Pet Care in mid-2014 when we moved out of our previous sitter's  service area.  We have found KSR to be reliable and thoroughly professional.  At no time did I feed any anxiety about leaving our cats for periods up to 11 days with KSR.  Both the sitters who did the visits contacted us at least once per day, including photos in their emails; both wrote detailed notes on our cats' behaviour; both were pleasant with us and warm with our cats.

KSR Pet Care was the first dog walking company I've ever used, (I reached out to them due to Yelp reviews.) ...And I've been using them for a few years now. I have had a few dog walkers. I was able to meet them and talk about my pet so they knew where things were and how the pet behaved.  I trust my dog walkers and know that my dog (who I treat like my child) is in fabulous care. They even cater to the breed, if he can't walk for the full time, they'll play with him, which is wonderful. I really appreciate KSR Pet Care and love how much they love pets. More...

KSR Pet Care was my first experience with a pet sitting service. They were recommended to me by my vet when my vet had no more space available for boarding my cat over the Thanksgiving holiday. The service overall was very professional. They were very thorough, sending me emails and walking me through the whole process. They set up an on-site visit to see my place, get the 'lay of the land' and meet me cat. The owner/manager as well as my designated sitter and backup sitter all came. They asked questions, and were very sincere and professional. Scheduling services and paying for services is easy with online booking and automatic credit card payment.The service itself was great! I got text message updates (with photos) each day, and there were also written daily summaries waiting for me upon my return. They even checked in to make sure my travel plans weren't delayed, to make sure someone would be around for the cat the next day if needed.Great organization overall, highly recommended. More...

I was in need of temporary pet sitting on three different occassions for a minimum of one up to five days. The first time was a three day trip, when I returned home my cat couldn't have been happier. But she was very comfortable with the care she received. I got a phone call and text because she vomited I guess she's sensitive when I first left. Or it could've been the cat food. It hasn't happened since and Marja totally cleaned up after my kitty. I got detailed paragraph of notes and more when needed like when she got sick. The other times they didn't disappoint either. I felt like she was well cared for. The company comes to your home with the sitters a primary and an alternate at least so you can interview them. As well so they can become familiar with the pets. Very professional and reasonable rates make this an affordable and great solution to your pet care needs. Each time I arrived home there were no problems and I could tell that my sensitive kitty was reassured that someone would be visiting her to take care of her while I was away.Unfortunately I am moving for work. I hope I will be lucky enough to find a great option in Texas. But I couldn't speak or recommend anyone other than KSR! They've done a fantastic job, above and beyond what I'd expected and even on shorter notice they've come through. Thank you KSR! More...

We had them for house sitting and caring for our two dogs, fish, house plants and 5 backyard hens.  They were AMAZING! During the intake I got to meet all the animal care takers that were assigned and they were such delightful and professional ladies.  The notes we got upon return were very detailed.  The animals themselves seemed happy too.  We had a friend watch all the animals in the past and it was a complete disaster.  Being able to leave for a week with complete peace of mind that everything was being taken care of was invaluable!  I can't recommend KSR enough!

Beyond a doubt this is the best pet service in the area! Karen, BB and my two dog walkers Nancy and Janet are amazing!

We had never used a service like this before but when our cat was diagnosed with diabetes, we needed someone who could check on him and administer insulin.  From my initial request, Karen and her team were very responsive and quickly scheduled a visit.  The prep visit was a great way for them to get to know the cat and our house but also for us to get a comfort level of their attention to detail and their willingness to cover other important tasks like bringing in the mail or turning lights on and off.  Definitely a great experience as a first time customer.

Karen and her staff have been fantastic over the past couple of years with our dog. It takes a lot of trust to turn over the care of your dog to another person (let alone allow them unfettered access to your home) and Karen and her team has never let us down. Not only have the always been there as scheduled, they have been available to help us out in a number of scheduling emergencies. Having that kind of support is extremely comforting, and I would recommend KSR to anyone who needs help taking care of a pet on a regular or interim basis More...

Karen and her staff have been walking our dog for the past year. And they do so with true care and love of animals. My dog looks forward to seeing them every week just as much as she looks forward to me coming home. They are very thorough with their daily logs and show concern if anything is out of the ordinary. A top notch business with top notch people! More...

Of all the services that a typical homeowner might pay for, it's hard to imagine too many that are more important than those that a pet sitter provides. As a homeowner and pet owner, we put a tremendous amount of trust in anyone who comes into our homes to provide care for our pets. Karen and her team approach every aspect of their jobs with full knowledge of how crucial their work really is. The team is incredibly detail-oriented, careful in everything they do, and, perhaps most importantly, Karen and her team truly love animals. When I travel, Karen is amazingly intuitive about my concerns, and attends to every detail, taking the worry out of time away from home. My pets and my home are in wonderful hands with KSR--I wholeheartedly recommend them--simply outstanding service. More...

Karen is the best. Professional, well managed, caring, easy to contact and speak with. She has also planned extremely well for any contingency in order to make sure your pet receives the attention you need.

When we had to find a new cat sitter it was a bit anxiety provoking. When Karen came over to be interviewed and meet Merlin our cat, we were immediately impressed with her extremly high level of professionalism and the decision was made.
As she came to know our cat Merlin as an individual, understanding his unique personality the results were obvious. In the past he would be "mad" at us for three days after we arrived home. Now he greeted us with contented purrs. He had truly been loved while we were gone!
In addition to all this, the DC area had the worst snow storm in history while we were in Costa Rica. Karen not only notified us so that we could clear our walk etc she was dedicated beyond the call of duty and walked through the deep snow to check on Merlin.
Both we as owners and Merlin felt cared for whenever we left Merlin with KSR. We deeply miss Merlin who has recently passed on and we will miss Karen's caring professional nature as a part of our lives. More...

They show they care by leaving detailed daily notes and they learn and respect each pet s personality. They notice changes in behavior, eating habits, and general health. I use them whenever I am out of town, whether for the night or for weeks at a time. The staff even picks up the mail and takes out the trash as needed for longer vacations. When I come home, I know the lights will be turned on for me and my kitties will be patiently waiting by the door.-Jill Halverson More...

We have been using KSR Pet Care for several months and are delighted with the care and attention that our dog, Cleo, and two cats, Skip and Sasha, receive from Karen Rosenberg when we are out of town. I was quite impressed with the initial interview and all the questions Karen asked about the animals' daily schedule and habits. And I was completely bowled over by the notes left on the kitchen counter when we returned, describing each visit, the animals' behavior and funny personality traits. Over Christmas, I left ear medication for Cleo but didn't realize that the dosage label was wearing away. Karen called the animal hospital to make sure of the correct dosage before administering the ear drops. Now that's service. We heartily recommend KSR Pet Care to all pet owners.
