Pawsitively Posh Pet Care

I have been using this pet service for almost two years and they have been wonderful! They always show up on time and do everything I ask. They take time to play with my pets and give them extra attention while I am gone. They were even able to help when my guinea pig needed medications and extra care! They even take the time to send me an update and pictures everyday!

I have been using Pawsitevely Posh Pet Care for my daily dog walks and overnights for my dog Jules for 2 years and we love them! Mark and Elishia and the entire crew are easy to work with, responsible and trustworthy. Jules loves them so much and they love him. You can see through their actions and care that they really really love animals. I’d recommend them!

We’ve been with Pawsitively Posh for over a year now. We switched from another company when we had some neglect and privacy issues, and we couldn’t be happier! We’ve had a few different sitters, and a couple of subs here and there, but everyone has been fantastic! We couldn’t imagine having anyone else coming into our home and taking care of our two dogs. The entire team is top notch, very personable and very responsive! Communication is excellent and they go above and beyond to help you. Last year we had a death in the family and had to travel last minute. I emailed them late in the evening and they stepped right in and were there the next morning. I don’t think they have any idea what a relief it was to not have to worry about our fur babies being well cared for. We had no idea how long we would be away, and PPPC were very accommodating. We returned home to happy pups and beautiful flowers. Mark, Elishia and the entire team are absolutely a part of our family.

When we moved to the D.C. 1 ½ years ago, we researched thoroughly all the options for dog walking services, and we selected PPPC (formerly HomeBuddies D.C.) — which couldn’t have been a better decision as we look back on all the wonderful experiences of care, support and personal involvement by Owner/​CEO Elishia, Mark and all their tremendous staff. Our two husky-​shepherd sisters — Casey & Chloe (110 lbs. each) had been very well served with daily walking while we were working and, soon transitioned, to also include our vacation/​travel in-​home service too (complete w/​reports and photos of our girls enjoying extra attention, good times, great walks, petting, combing…)!! Elishia and Mark are exceptional individuals, who care deeply for the pets in their care. Even as one of beloved dogs (Casey), succumbed to a long-​fought auto-​immune disease, we had nothing but extraordinary support — well above and beyond, what a family would expect — which is why we now consider them not only providers, but genuine friends! We know that our dear Chloe’s transition to a solo life, was made all the better with the consistency of companionship and fond attention provided her by Mark & Elishia, and our long-​term daily PPPC staffer Sidney, in the rough days after losing her sister. We are truly impressed and fortunate — as we’ve found a phenomenal set of people at PPPC — and, if you love your pets — you’ll not be disappointed one bit, having them PPPC join, and enjoying, your pets and family too! :-)

We have been using Pawsitively Post Pet Care for almost a year now and have been nothing but impressed! We started with using them for 30 minute walks during the day but now also use them for the overnight service which is wonderful! It is so nice to be able to leave little Madeline at home when we travel and know she will be so well taken care of. When we used to take her to a kennel she would always come home not quite herself and many times sick, when we get home now she is just so happy. The cost is also reasonable in comparison to what you would pay for an overnight kennel in the area, and the care is so much better.
They also send updated of the visits which is really nice. During booking they are very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend using them for all you pet sitting needs!!!

I was always okay with leaving my cat with tons of food and water over a long weekend, and having a neighbor check in on her once a day. But since she’s been diagnosed with heart disease, I don’t feel comfortable imposing the increased responsibility on friends.
Enter Pawsitively Posh Pet Care (though I’ve been using them since they were Home Buddies). They didn’t even bat an eye during my initial consultation (they came to my apartment so I could show them where everything was and they could meed the cat) when I explained my cat has heart disease and takes THREE medications exactly every 12 hours apart. And my cat loved the sitter so much that she followed him out into the hallway when he left.
I now get very anxious about her health when I leave the cat (yes, I’m totally crazy, but in my defense I wasn’t like this before she got sick), and their emails and pics when they visit the cat are very reassuring. I feel much more comfortable leaving her with someone who works with animals frequently, and knows what to do in a medical emergency.
I will likely go back to lots of food, water, and visits from a neighbor with my future pets because of the expense. But with a sick cat, I am very grateful for the service and the peace of mind. I’ve found all the sitters professional and detail-​oriented, and they’ve been able to accommodate all of my visit requests over holidays and weekends.

Okay, so I am a crazy cat lady. The kind who would rather hang with her cat than go out. Believe me, if you had my cat, you wouldn’t want to see humans either. Phoebe Louise is 11, I got her when she was 9 because I hate that no one adopts older cats. Now she is the queen of the universe. She is adorable but definitely a piece of work. She gets lonely and anxious when left alone and I insist that someone visit her every day when I am gone. I know I sound crazy… but she is so freakin’ cute! Anyway, I had exhausted my friend list. Plus I kind of felt bad asking my friends to come spend real quality time with her. They wouldn’t accept money and I wanted them to do a little more than feed her. Once my friends were all unavailable and I reluctantly went to google in search of a cat sitter. That is when I found Pawsitively Post Pet Care. I am NEVER going anywhere else for my cat-​sitting/​loving needs. I was super anxious when I contacted them to watch Pheebs. The first thing I loved: They insisted that before I went on vacation, they wanted my sitter to come over and meet me, get to know my house and hang a bit with Pheebs. I didn’t want a stranger coming over (what if he or she scared Pheeb!?) so this made me feel great about the service from the start. Then I met Joanna. Joanna is made of puppies and kittens and butterflies and love and happiness. And she was going to love my Pheeb once a day, all weekend. The second I met her, all my stress melted away. It was the first time I’d ever not stressed when leaving Pheebs home for a longer period of time. Every day, after Joanna visits, she sends me an email with a little update on my baby cat and some photos (sometimes even a video!!). Once Joanna even brough over an empty box for Pheeb! She loved it. I’ve contacted this service now every time I travel. Honestly, if Joanna isn’t available, I’d consider moving my whole vacation. I am sure all of the sitters are great, but money can’t buy the feeling I get knowing someone loves and is excited to see my cat. My sweet lady Pheeb is never in distress when I come home anymore and Joanna always texts me an excited message when she sees Pheebs on her schedule. It makes my heart happy. Use these guys. Request Joanna. I bet my cat on their awesomeness.

They are the best! I’ve been using their dog walking services since 2013 on a Mon-​Fri basis for my pup Stark. Our regular sitter Kathryn is awesome. Stark is always looking forward to their daily adventures together and I love getting the text & picture updates after each of her visits. Kathryn takes such good care of Stark– always wipes him down if he gets a little too muddy, feeds him some cool-​off treats if its a little too hot, and plays with him for an extra few minutes if he’s got a little too much energy. In addition, everyone at Pawsitively Posh’s office is incredibly friendly and responsive. Scheduling is so easy– you can do it online, over the phone or via email. I prefer to book my visits via email and I always get a response back within 30 mins or less. Highly recommend to any pet owner in the DC area looking for a caring and dependable pet sitting/​walking service.

I have use Pawsitively Posh pet care (previously home buddies) several times during the last year for taking care of Chiki my 3-​year old cat. Bridgette who has been our pet sitter since the beginning has done an amazing job. She as well as the company is professional, competent and trustworthy. I travel frequently out of the country and every day I received an update an photos by email. Bridgette is also very responsible. For instance, there was an issue with gas smell one time and she solve it !! Finally, i really hope the new website will allow online easy booking as before. That feature of No need to call at all it is one of the best for me. I am very grateful to have found PPoshP care:) In my opinion they are the best at taking care of kitties. So I highly recommend it for cat owners, and I guess to dog owners as well:)!
