Pant & Wag, LLC

This dog «outing» service is as good as it gets! I was frustrated with the «30 minute» dog walking services that seemed the only thing out there. Doggie day care was inconvenient — I would have to drop off and pick up my pup every day. I found Pant and Wag on Unilocal and was so excited about what I read. My dog Peebee loves to run, play and explore. With Pant and Wag he got to do that and more! Sean would pick up my dog from home and match him with a small group of similar sized dogs. The outings would last up to two hours from time of pick up to drop off. Sean is so caring and bonds with the dogs as if they were his own. Peebee also loved his canine fitness group and quickly made friends with his fitness buddies. Instead of a quick walk on the concrete, with Pant and Wag the dogs get to explore natural places like Rock Creek Park and Teddy Roosevelt Island. Plenty of fresh air, grass, trees and other creatures to keep their interest. Peebee also had days where he wore a one or two pound weight in a doggy pack pack for an extra fitness challenge. I could see his muscles developing with the exercise. But, what he liked most of all was a chance to be a dog for a couple of hours every day. I can never thank Sean enough for making Pant and Wag available to us. It’s the best!

So this is just an exceptional service that my little dog loves. My vet recommended this company to me when my biscuit started gaining some weight. We are usually too busy to give him all the exercise he needs so this was perfect for us. They basically do a variety of different exercises at a bunch of different places so it is a lot more vigorous and exciting than just normal dog walkers. I also like that Biscuit it matched with other dogs his size so we don’t have to worry about him getting trampled. And then to top it off, we get a daily report and sometimes even pictures so we can see him in action.
Everyone is very professional and clean-​cut, which is important to me since they have unabridged access to both my home and my dog and I’ve never had any problems getting in contact with them, so I’d give their customer service 5 stars as well. Even though it is more expensive per month that other places, I think this is the best bet for Biscuit!

My friend referred me to this company and I am so happy she did! Emma The Wonder Dog just loves what they do… they are essentially like high-​end dog walkers but instead of going around your neighborhood they go to all sorts of different and exciting (for dogs) places and instead of just walking, they do all sorts of different exercises. We even get videos and pictures so we can see what Emma The Wonder Dog is doing and how much fun she is having (two of the pics in my profile are from her adventures!)
I’ve found the customer service to just be exceptional… Sean is always quick to answer my calls, e-​mails, and texts even during nights and weekends. Sometimes I have a last minute schedule change due to my crazy life and they always seem to bend over backwards to accommodate me.
Yes, the wait-​list is a pain, but now I see why they have it… it was well worth the wait as they take Emma The Wonder Dog to all the places I wish I could take her on a daily basis and treat her like the princess she is!
Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

Beware of terrible business practices! And apparently, there is no phone number that is answered.
I signed my puppy up for the waitlist because the website indicated that the daycare was full and not taking new clients. Sean from Pant & Wag emailed me soon thereafter saying that a spot had opened up in the small dog group. I wrote back, excited, sending all my info. I even decided to hold off on my puppy’s socialization interview at a different daycare because of Sean’s email. But I never heard back. I tried writing him again letting him know I was starting my new job soon and needed to finalize a daycare situation. I still never heard back. I tried calling, but there is no way to reach them by phone.
To me, this lack of professionalism is the sign of a bad and unreliable business. I’ve never had this happen with any of my other petcare services, and would now never send my pet somewhere like this. My puppy is now a regular client at Wagtime, which he loves.
