Jenna was my dog's walker and she was AWESOME. I loved the daily notes that provided practical information but also clearly enjoyed playing with my dog. I felt totally cool with her being in my apartment. I recommend them all the time. They do a great job! More...

I started using Passionately Pets for mid-day walks about two months ago and have been extremely impressed. After looking at several different choices, I decided to try Passionately Pets because of the professional website and great reviews I had read, as well as their price point (I found it to be very similar to competing companies). I appreciated that I was able to meet my dog's regular walker (there have only been a couple of walks she has missed due to sickness or scheduled leave), as well as one of the managers, prior to the first walking so that my dog and I would feel comfortable. The intake forms were thorough, which allowed for me to provide as much information as possible to the walker, in case they needed it (for example, where I keep cleaning supplies in case my dog makes a mess). Passionately Pets provides both a paper and an electronic "Pet Care Journal" every walk, which allows for me to monitor how my dog is doing no matter where I am. Info included in the journal varies from if my dog went to the bathroom to if their water bowl was refilled. They have also recently started including photos with the online journal, which I love to get! Passionately Pets has a very user friendly online portal which allows for me to make notes to my walker, view my schedule, or update any of my dog's info, as needed. I highly recommend Passionately Pets to any pet parent in the Arlington area! More...

I am very happy to have found this service.  I've been trying different ones for a while and although we only just signed up for daily walks for our fur-baby.  I am impressed by the level of service we have received and the care the staff takes to ensure you start off on the right foot.  Our senior Golden requires a little patience and it appears that the walker is a great match.  Hopefully it stays this good.  I will update if things change as I feel there are a lot of companies out there but very few are this good.  Thanks Enrique and our dog walker Henry!

Been using them for over a year to walk our crazy pit bull. They are always very responsive, scheduling is super easy, and Jenna always responds to me quickly if we have any minor issues Eduardo is our dog walker now and he is simply the best. I have noticed an improvement in our dog's behavior when we walk him so I think Eduardo sets good boundaries with a difficult dog. More...

I have used Passionately Pets several times to take care of my cat while out of town for a week or so. I have never had a problem scheduling and they get back to me promptly. All of the cat sitters have been outstanding. They leave daily notes that I love to read when I get back in town. I can feel the genuine care that they have for my cat in the messages that they leave. They are very attentive to my instructions and tell me of any changes in my cat. I would not hesitate to use them again. I feel comfortable leaving my elderly cat in their care. More...

We've been using Passionately Pets since 2011 and highly recommend their service. Never had an issue and they have always come through for us - even on last minute bookings. One of our favorite things about Passionately Pets are the notes from each visit. We always get home and spend a few minutes reading them - it's like getting a report card - and let's us know that someone really took the time to care for our critters while we were away. This past weekend was no exception and we wanted to thank Vanessa for such detailed notes on her visit. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness in particular around our dog Kiku who has had a lot to adjust to recently with the addition of a new dog Dutch and our 9 month old daughter. She can be fussy and not eat when we're gone and Vanessa noticed and crushed up some cookies into her bowl and made sure she ate while she was here. She left all of this in detailed notes and seemed to understand that Kiku needed some special attention.We'd love to have Vanessa next time we're out of town. Please tell her THANK you for looking after our furry babies so well! More...

I've been using Passionately Pets for about a year now, and they have been consistently great. They were wonderful when my prior cat died and even dug up some photos of him for me. My very skittish new cat adores Sara. They're considerate, responsive, and reliable. Couldn't ask for more! More...

I currently work for Passionately Pets.  And I just had to take the time to post a review.  Jenna the owner and the manager Leigh are absolutely wonderful to work for.  They are top notch, care about their employees and have superb direct communication with the employees, and are extremely organized.  It is definitely a great company to work for and for hiring to take care of your pets.  We love our pets and make sure we go above and beyond expectations.  So..I recommend both to work and to hire for your pets.

I have been a client of Passionately Pets for a little over a year, and have always been impressed with their service. I have two dogs who require midday walks Monday - Friday. They are completely different sizes ( a Corgi and German Shepherd) and their walker Daisy has never had any problems. They are always happy when I come home, and Daisy always leaves a wonderful note detailing their walk. My schedule can be unpredictable, but Jenna and Leigh have always graciously accommodated all of my requests and changes.My pets have been my companions while I have lived here alone, and knowing that I will come home every day to happy dogs is priceless. I highly recommend Passionately Pets for any of your pet sitting needs. More...

I have been using Passionately Pets for a year and a half and have been impressed with the services and communication since day one.  Prior to the initial walk the owner came over for a consultation to familiarize herself with my dog, the house, and where everything is located.  Seeing that I've been using the service for an extended period of time indicates I'm very satisfied, but I'd like to highlight a few things I've been most impressed with:- Punctual; shows up for the walk during the time window we agreed upon- Quick communication back and forth during business hours if I have questions, concerns, or if I need to make changes to my dog's walk schedule- My work schedule can change on a moment's notice and Passionately Pet's have been awesome in keeping track of the changes that I communicate to them when even I have a difficult time keeping my own schedule straight.  In the entire year and a half there has never been any mistakes in their scheduling- On several occasions I've had emergencies or last minutes requests due to extenuating circumstances and Passionately Pets was able to accommodate- There has been only minor turnover in the scheduled walker throughout the time I've been using the service and I feel like the walker really enjoys his jobI pay $15 per day for a 30 minute walk and I find that reasonable considering the amount of time spent with my pet as well as the walker's transportation to/from my location.  I wish the overnight visits were either a little more affordable or would include a midday walk in the cost because otherwise it's difficult for me to budget the cost if I'm out of town for more than a day or two.  But on the other hand the benefit is that the person staying overnight with my pet already knows my dog and my home so it makes preparing for a trip much easier when the sitter already knows what needs to be done.Overall I highly recommend Passionately Pets and I expect to be using their services well into the future.

I love, love, love Passionately Pets! I have a rescued Australian Shepherd who is a very high energy dog. I used Passionately Pets for a midday walk Mon-Fri while at work, and always came home to a note on the counter and a very happy pup! Jenna was always immediately responsive to any communication via email. She was also very flexible if I needed to cancel a walk, or needed to add a dinnertime walk when running late at work. I loved that the walkers took photos of the dogs during their visits and posted them to Facebook. I always looked forward to seeing Molly in Passionately Pets's albums; she ALWAYS looked so happy and that gave me such relief. I recently moved from the area to become a full-time student and I MISS PASSIONATELY PETS SOOO MUCH! I would definitely recommend their dog walking services to anybody in the area. I never had need of their dog-sitting services but can only imagine that they are on par with the customer service that my pup and I received daily from Passionately Pets! More...

Passionately Pets was our daily dog walking company until I switched to a work-from-home arrangement and we no longer needed their services. If money was no object in our life I'd still use them to take our darling dog for midday walks even now that I can handle letting him in and out to do his business.When we picked Passionately Pets we didn't have a lot of choices; our pup had survived parvo and one other firm refused to do business with us, ever. Another wanted us to pay for special disposable surgical clothing for their walker to wear every time they came to our home, and would only start walks for us after another 6 weeks had passed.Jenna, on the other hand, worked with us to help care for our dog and take steps to make sure no other dogs were endangered. Facts about how long the virus hangs around after a dog recovers are poorly researched, so Jenna had our walker keep Casey within our yard for the first two months to insure he didn't spread any remaining disease. She assigned a walker who wasn't caring for any other young dogs so there was no potential they'd take the virus to a dog that hadn't had all its shots, and the walker made sure to wash up after putting Casey back in his crate but before they left. I saw all this for myself when I was working from home and we didn't cancel service for the day.Most above and beyond the call had to be how our first walker dealt with Casey's eating issues. For a long time after his recovery he was a poor eater. Since we had no other pets we'd simply put food down and he'd eat it when he was ready or needed it. Our initial walker, however, would sit down and play with him while hand-feeding him one bit of kibble at a time. We were amazed, and told her it wasn't necessary, but she wouldn't hear of it - this was the way to make sure he ate all his food, so that's what she'd do.We had a few more walkers during out time with Passionately Pets and whenever there was going to be a change, whether it was a one-off or an ongoing change, Jenna would email us to let us know ahead of time and offer us a chance to meet the new walker. It was more than I felt I needed but my wife always wanted to know who was coming to our home. Personally I had confidence in Jenna and knew she'd stand behind the service.They're who we always recommend when the subject of pet sitting comes up. More...

We hired Passionately Pets to walk our 12 week old lab mix on days that I'm not able to come home to let her out myself. They are trustworthy, love animals, and provide great communication after each walk. Scheduling is done about a week in advance so I can't vouch for flexibility but I am quite satisfied so far. Bonus points for accepting PayPal, very easy and professional. More...

I chose Passionately Pets at the recommendation of a friend, and it was one of the best decisions I've made. I have two dogs, one of whom is very anxious and just hates being boarded at a kennel - actually, she hates anything new.  I was shocked that Jenna (the owner) walked in, and the nervous dog was not at all shy or anxious, she just walked right up to Jenna and got progressively more excited about Jenna as the interview went along (she asked all kinds of questions to make sure they were ready for any contingencies, and had a very thorough form so that they understood the dogs' needs).  I can totally tell why Jenna got into this business, I think she must just emit some kind of super-pet-friendly pheremones!  My dog has never liked someone that quickly and thoroughly.For roughly the same cost as kenneling (actually a little less), Passionately Pets came to the house and walked my two dogs three times a day and fed them twice, for a week.  We got back from vacation and expected the dogs to be frantic with relief at our return, like they usually were... um no, not at all.  They were a little bored - "Oh you again? Where's the cool lady?", which was pretty disconcerting.  But a very good sign, that they had been taken care of very well, and they had obviously not been anxious in our absence.Passionately Pets left a note after each visit and brought up anything noteworthy that happened, so it was nice to get to thumb through and see what had happened while we were gone.  There is a lot of peace of mind about knowing that someone responsible is holding down the fort while you're not there.Even better, there have been several times that I have asked for short-turnaround dog-walking (twice I got caught at work late, once had an unexpected trip come up) and they were happy to cover even with short lead time.  Although I didn't use these services, I know that Passionately Pets also offers dog-walking while you're at work, and staying overnight in your absence if your dogs/cats need it (they also bring in mail, water plants, turn on/off lights, and such things to make the home look lived-in).Overall, I highly recommend Passionately Pets. Having them for trips is a huge relief, and knowing that in a bind I have back-up for my dogs is even better. More...

Jenna and the team at Passionately Pets are outstanding service providers! They have cared for my dog as if she were their own. They provide informative, fun "report cards" at the end of each visit to tell me what they did with my dog (walk, play). I feel comfortable with them being in my home, and I know that my dog will be responsibly cared for. Jenna is both incredibly professional in the way she runs Passionately Pets, and warmly personable in the way she relates to me and my dog. More...
