Doggy Day Care in Silver Spring

About: I’ve raised my own dog since she was a puppy. I have trained and cared for 15 rescued dogs through this agency, including 4 puppies. I believe that every dog is unique and should be treated accordingly. When it comes to my parenting style, I am very patient and consistent. I love playing with dogs, going on long walks and visiting dog parks. We have a declawed cat named Miley Cyrus. For the most part, Miley gets along with all the dogs that come into our home. She does have her little diva moments when she gets a bit sassy with the dogs, but she is not aggressive at all. Overall, I am an outgoing, caring and observant individual. Your dog will absolutely love spending time with me! I’m currently working from home, so that allows me more time to dedicate to your pet. I'm available for boarding, check-ins and walks during the week. I love to give dogs the attention and love they deserve. I understand being on a schedule and routine, so I’m able to follow the care instructions of the owners. I’ve had my share of doggy sickness and I know how to properly look out for symptoms and take care of the pups. We live in a safe and dog-friendly apartment complex. There are tons of dogs to socialize with during walks and I love to go to parks for walks as well.

“We are so thankful to Harriman for taking such good care of Tortie during the day for a week! Tortie has separation anxiety and has a hard time being alone, but he seems to have felt comfortable here. Harriman sent lots of photos and video updates, which reassured me that our dog was doing well.”

“Brioche had a blast with Johanna and her dog Scruffy! It was clear she was in good hands with Johanna and her dog Scruffy is very social and playful and they had a great day playing together.”

“Julio was friendly and helpful in our Daycare arrangement. My dog has separation anxiety, but when I picked her up she was calm and did not have any difficulties.”

“Great communication and very happy with the daycare visit as a first time app user! Will definitely book again if I’m in the area!”

“Katherine was great. I made an appointment at the last minute and she was able to accommodate my needs. She provided alot of pictures throughout the day.”

“We had a short trip to Washington DC at the beginning of October and needed a help with our fur babies ion the first day. We were so happy that we met Sofia. She is an amazing girl: caring, kind, sweet and friendly. Our dogs loved her and enjoyed being with her the whole day. She sent us some pictures and info how our dogs felt and behaved during the time with her, which made us feeling well and confident about them. I would definitely recommend Sofia to anyone who need a responsible and kind dog-sitter.”

“Emily is the most caring, responsible, and loving dog sitter I have ever had! She sent tons of pictures and I never had any worries about if my pup was safe and having a good time. Mushu, her dog, is also the sweetest pup and our dogs got along great! I can't recommend Emily enough - we will be back for sure!”

“Shantell is great. She is always sending me pictures of my pup relaxing with her pals, and she has been very accommodating with me if I need to pick up my dog a little later than expected. Shantell makes my life better and keeps my dog happy.”

“Alonzo is great with my dog..typically Blu get nervous when I have to leave him with someone, Alonzo watch Blu all day for one week and by day two, Blu was excited to spend the day with Alonzo. Each day they went on a 40min walk..which Blu loves and Alonzo and his son played ball with him the rest of the day. Thanks Alonzo 😊 for all your help and I look forward to using your service again.”

“An absolute doll ! My pup loved it here, when he got home he was koeddd ( exactly what I wanted) I will absolutely bring him back, great communication and he looked happy the entire time.”

“As a dog owner, Rebecca is very experienced in dog sitting. She loves to take dogs on mini adventures and pays really close attention to them. She will love your dog, just like it’s her own. Your dog will feel at home and you’ll feel good, knowing your dog is being well taken care of!”

“Kelly is an amazing dog sitter. Our dog seems so relaxed at Kelly’s house and in her company. Kelly is so communicative and shares pictures throughout the day, which always gives us peace of mind while being away from our dog.”

“Emma & Luca were amazing! They made Blue feel welcome and right at home. Emma’s place is a perfect place for a dog to play and we got lots of updates on all the fun Blue was having. I think Blue has two new best friends and we can’t wait to see them again!!”

“I would recommend Melissa to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter and wants to have a kind, responsible, and person to care for their pets. Melissa would be the perfect person to watch your fur baby! Put your mind at ease and book Melissa. She will love them like her own pets!”

“Fitz came home from her daycare stay with Amanda and Andrew so happy and ready for a nap! Amanda has been so easy to communicate with, and hosted us for a brief meet and greet before Fitz’s first stay. She asked lots of great questions about how to keep Fitz safe and happy, and drop-off/pick-up were a breeze. We so appreciate the peace of mind knowing our little girl is being treated like family. Amanda also sent pictures during the day so we could see our pup living her best life. We (and especially Fitz) can’t wait until next time!”

“Frankie has started to care for my senior fur babies. It is really hard for Leah to separate from me, but Frankie made her feel very comfortable. I will be traveling in a few weeks and the test run with Frankie was amazing. My fur babies Luke and Leah have always traveled with me and I am looking forward to them staying with her. Frankie is one of the best people in the world to take care of your pet and I am glad that I found her.”

“I called victoria to sit with benny on very short notice, like 30 minutes, and she was able to accommodate us. He has settled in over there nicely, and has seemed to be in fine spirits both days I picked him up”

About: TRAINED PET CARE PROFESSIONAL Hi, I live in downtown Silver Spring and people find it very convenient to drop off their pets with me. My building has a dog park, and there are two others plus a wooded area right in back of me. You can trust me with your precious pets. I do this full time and have years of experience. Some sitters are young, inexperienced, and unreliable. I trained as a vet assistant, trainer and groomer. I'm also an experienced dog owner and petsitter. I'm pet first aid certified and know all the local vets. Dog training seminars and pet care industry trade shows throughout the year allow me to offer advice and referrals if desired. Why settle for someone with another job when your dog will have my undivided attention? Don't settle for less. My dog loves afternoon playtime and so will yours. Due to space limitations I can only board small and toy breeds, dogs under 20 lbs., sorry. For larger dogs I'm available for pet sits in your home, where your dog is most comfortable anyway. I can offer basic grooming, bath and trim, small dogs only at this time. I'm a college grad, reliable and responsible. Your best friend is safe with me. I'm a full time animal lover with lots of time to spend with furry friends! My life revolves around their schedule of feeding, playtime and of course walks. My building has a dog park and there are two others just across the street. I have crates available for time outs and naps so dogs so don't get over-excited. But mostly they're on the couch with me and they seem to like it that way. I strive to deserve your trust and that of your precious pets with responsible and loving care. The kindness we show our little charges is usually repaid tenfold and that's the fun of working with animals

“Justin is the best dog dad ever! I’ve know him for many years now and there isn’t anything he would do for his own dog or any one else’s dog. I trust him to take care of my dog when I go out of town and it allows me to have a better trip every time. I highly recommend him to ease your worries by taking care of your fur baby while you travel.”
