Olde Towne School For Dogs
529 Oronoco St, AlexandriaI had a great experience working with Aliyah as my pup Lonnie’s trainer over 6 sessions. She’s extremely knowledgeable and does an excellent job clearly articulating each session so everything feels structured and easy to follow. Her approach is practical and effective, and I saw noticeable improvements in Lonnie’s behavior in a short amount of time. She’s patient, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who is organized, knowledgeable, and delivers real results.

From Head to Tail Grooming Spa
430 Hume Ave, AlexandriaAfter 2 years out of the country, the first call I made once we had a move-back date was From Head to Tail for my 10 yr old pup and new 10 month puppy! The older pup loved their microbubble baths when we lived here before and for 2 years I struggled to find a place that did good work and didn't stress her out. So happy to be back! The minute we opened our car door and she caught a familiar sniff she perked up and ran in. The 10 mo old pup is a wirehair mix and we are still figuring out her coat, the grooming staff understood and when we picked her up she was calm and happy, the perfect response from a pup still getting used to grooming. Can you find a cheaper dog bath or DIY? Sure. But after two years of alternatives, I truly love their approach to crates and handling dogs, trust their suggestions and observations, and am always happy to see my dogs return home clean, happy, and sleepy instead of anxious and stressed. 10/10!!

Paw Spa, LLC.
315 South Washington Street, AlexandriaI have an 75lb coonhound mix who somehow has a partial undercoat and fairly coarse short hair, so he sheds A LOT and has that quintessential hound *scent* basically all the time. He gets the full service bath and I can’t believe how incredible his coat looks and smells great (not just drowned in dog perfume). And it lasts or weeks! His skin is so happy. We have only had wonderful interactions with the entire staff. He has a good experience every time and is always chipper when we pick him up. Yes it’s expensive but worth every penny for the quality and compassionate service!!

For Pets' Sake
1537 N Quaker Ln, AlexandriaI was very satisfied. I was having a hard time finding affordable quality grooming for my recent rescue long-haired cat. I was impressed and reassured by the fact that For Pets’ Sake has a dedicated cat groomer specifically. Everyone in the shop was very kind and professional. Lee was so sweet with my cat. I got a standard cat grooming session which includes bath, brush, cut, nail trimming, and ear cleaning for $160. I asked them to skip the cut and just give her a sanitary cut in the back. She came home clean and refreshed and I was happy with the ear cleaning and nail trimming. Definitely recommend! Of course she is now grooming herself to put her own touches on it 😂

EmmaVet
1628A Belle View Blvd, AlexandriaI took my cat here at the beginning of the year after he fell off a cabinet. He seemed mildly in pain, and they were able to provide us two options, one that involved sedation, blood work, etc. and the other just giving pain meds. We opted for the second, and received very little judgement for it. Hes a very scary boy at the vet, and they gave us liquid gabapentin for his future appointments and suggested a different carrier to bring him in. Meanwhile today… we went to VEG in Georgetown as it’s more than twice as close since my cat was having a mouth ulcers and bleeding paw. The level of judgement I felt when I asked if we could just do steroids like our vet recommended when I messaged them on Monday (they didn’t have availability soon enough for our comfort) was insane.

Kingstowne Cat Clinic
5830 Kingstowne Towne Ctr #120, AlexandriaWe moved to the area last year and we were excited to see a highly rated cat clinic a few minutes away. I prefer a cat clinic because they specialize in treating felines and I don’t have to worry about walking into a stressful environment with large dogs barking and echoing throughout the waiting area.
I take my kitty for monthly shots for his arthritis and the staff is always caring, friendly, and attentive. They’re also very reasonably priced and I don’t have anxiety that they’ll try to upsell me on unneeded services.
Sometimes, I have to search a bit for a parking spot —but that’s the trade off being located near so many other popular businesses. I wish that they had a few reserved spots, close to their door, but not every property manager will allow for that.

Passionately Pets
1 E Bellefonte Ave, AlexandriaWe are very, very happy with the services that Team Passionately Pets provides for our pups (and occasional foster dog).
These guys are great.
We’ve used Jenna’s walking and pet sitting services for a bit more than 4 years now, and have had no issue with any walker or sitter. And on those rare occasions when we’ve had a last minute need for a walker, Jenna or a member team took care of our girls.
One of the things we like best about Passionately Pets is that Jenna strives to ensure the same walker consistently takes care of our girls; over the more than four years with them, we’ve had only four regular walkers, a rare exception in a field with notoriously high staff turnover.
We’re also very happy with the overnight services they provide, with pricing on par with local boarding services, without the stress of dropping the pups off to stay with dogs they don’t know.
Two paws up ? for them!!

Frolick Dogs
3208 Colvin St, AlexandriaI cannot express enough how much I recommend Frolick!!! I initially was just going to the open gym in the evenings to practice agility and basic commands with my Bernedoodle , where I had met initially Kevin and Kim (the owners). Kevin is SUCH a wealth of knowledge about dogs and had given me initial tips to build on what my girl already knew, but the more we talked, I knew the day board and train would be the best option. IN COMES JUSTIN!! He has the Kevin touch as well. Everything looks effortless. He also was beyond patient with me ( I think I was harder to train than my dog tbh, but you’ll have to ask him). Now, I swear my girl loves Justin more than me (they really should love their trainers that much!), she loves “going to school” (which is what we call Frolick)- to the point she starts Panting when we get close by on Duke street.
The perfect mix of corrections and positive reinforcement, training the things I needed the most and was having the hardest time being consistent with (place, heel, recalls) and dealing with reactivity! GOD SENDS. If I have a question or concern,I don’t feel dumb asking or coming to Frolick to ask or practice. EVERYONE has noticed how much more relaxed both my pup and myself are now- that’s confidence from Justin. Frolick is truly a family and I wish I would have found them even sooner. I will be eternally grateful!!

The Courteous Canine
4817 Godfrey Ave, AlexandriaI can’t say enough great things about our dog trainer Rayna Kinney! Before working together, walks were stressful and unpredictable due to my dog’s reactivity. Now, Junior confidently sits, stays, and lies down on command—even in public settings—and no longer reacts to distractions. Because of this training, I can take him places I never thought possible—and I can even trust him off leash. My grandchildren can also come over now without him jumping on them, which has made visits so much more enjoyable and stress-free. It’s truly opened up a whole new world for both of us. We’re no longer limited—we get to enjoy life together in a way we couldn’t before. If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior, I highly recommend investing in a trainer like this. It has made an incredible difference for us!
