I thought I could study dog training videos on youtube—and train my dog, Wally, myself. What a joke! I don’t have the time or patience. So I found someone who did. Eric at Walk, Play, Love has excellent training techniques and expertise. He is also kind and gentle with Wally. I highly recommend Eric. He is also friendly with my other family members. So when he comes over for training, Wally and everyone else is happy.

I wholeheartedly recommend Eric and Walk Play Love. We hired Eric to come over and feed our outdoor cats on long weekends when we were away. He does this with great reliability and care, sending pictures of the cats as he feeds them and even bringing up our newspapers.But it doesn't stop there. Recently our old dog became very ill, and we couldn't find any vet to see him right away. Eric recommended an animal hospital in Rockville, and when I called they were able to see him that day. We recently got another dog who is very young and active. I have consulted Eric on a number of behavioral issues, and he has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We are going to hire him to help us to train our new dog as well.I am so happy that we found Walk Play Love. Look no further if you are looking for a group of people who really care about animals!

We hit the jackpot when we found Walk Play Love--after trying for a long time to find the right company. Eric really cares about our dog Wally. He trains him and walks him with such care that we are truly happy we found him. The other companies we tried were too expensive and impersonal. Eric is very knowledgable in dog training. Wally now walks nicely on the leash and has stopped snapping and snarling at other dogs. One of Eric's co-workers stays with both our dogs when we are out of town. They are so much happier than going to the kennel. I am so relieved we found such responsible, reliable people to take care of our doggies. Trust is a big thing with me. I trust the good folks in this company.

Eric is a fantastic dog trainer. We had been looking, for about a year, for a trainer for our three year old--Wally. The other places we called were too expensive and and impersonal. Eric is the nicest, fun person and very professional. We look forward to his visits when he picks up Wally for private lessons. Wally has dropped his dog aggression and other difficult habits. Another one of Eric's co-workers now takes care of both dogs when we are out of town. I am greatly relieved we found this company. The way to our hearts are through our dogs.

I would give Eric, Nick, and Walk Play Love 10 stars if I could. When I finally needed a dogwalker for my aging dog this past summer, I contacted several local services. Eric was responsive over email, prompt in setting up an appointment to meet my dog Winnie, and asked all the right questions. Their intake form is thorough and Eric really listens to what you want. They also have quite reasonable prices. Win and I were lucky enough to be paired with Nick...my dog is fan of men, so she was always her best self when he stopped by. Nick never missed a walk, always showed up during the allotted time, and sent me pics of my dog enjoying the outdoors while I was stuck at with. He always locked up after himself and set the alarm, and left Win with fresh water. If I happened to be home, Nick was pleasant and cheerful when we greeted each other. If that wasn't great enough, in the last couple of months my dog has been struggling to walk. Nick gave her shorter walks, more time to sniff, more pats, and, as things got worse, even carried her up multiple flights of stairs when she couldn't do it herself. He really went above and beyond for Winnie. Like, so far beyond. I am incredibly grateful for the care he took with her. I will absolutely use Eric and his crew in the future. I would completely and utterly recommend them with your pup.

We were so glad to find Walk Play Love to help take care of our cats while we are out of town. They are reliable, kind, and very flexible. They have reasonable rates and will provide your pet with excellent care. We really love the online portal where you will get messages and pictures! It's great piece of mind getting regular communications. Definitely check them out, highly recommended!

I can personally vouch for this company that your pet will get the best care there is!!! The owner is certified, reliable, professional, responsive. I ask him questions about my pup before I even call the vet! I can personally say that he has the best trained dog I’ve seen, aside from military/police dogs. If you’re looking for a dog walker/dog sitter- this is definitely the company to go with, hands down.

I could not be happier with Eric and his team. They are reliable, caring, and extra-attentive to my pets - my dog walker even brings decorative handmade collars for my dog and cat for each holiday! I get texts each day with photos taken during and after the walks, and when my dog is not feeling well they call and let me know. I LOVE Walk.Play.Love.!!

Update: we have been working from home full time since the pandemic hit and have still had WPL continue visits. Welcoming our first baby last year, WPL has been a real time savor for us during the day. They are reliable and affordable - and most of all our dog loves them!We have been using Eric and Walk.Play.Love services for about 2 years now with our beloved dog Lucy. The WPL team has always been extremely responsive and caring to our dog, which is most important to us. An added bonus is that they are very flexible with our schedule. It's always hard to leave your best friend at home for long periods of time, but it has been a whole lot easier knowing that the WPL team cares for our Lucy as much as we do.

We've used Walk Play Love for several months to help with our puppy while we are at work. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Both the owner and our primary dog walker came over to meet our puppy in person before we began, which is typical of the personal touch you get with this local business as opposed to an app. They are flexible, punctual, dedicated, priced fairly, and clearly love animals. They take great pictures of our dog and assume an active role in his development, implementing whatever training and feeding regimen we are using. They earned our trust immediately. I'd give them five stars for customer service alone, but the bottom line is that they take fantastic care of our dog, which is what really matters.
