Doggy Day Care in Alpine Lake

About: I’ve grew up with dogs and have taken care of them All My Life Basically! They Provide An Unconditional Love & Deserve That Unconditional Love Back! Although I currently don’t have any dogs of my own, I sure do enjoy the company of family Members & others dogs. Loving them, walking them, Cleaning Up After Them, Bathing Them, & Also feeding & playing with them ! Animals Are Family & What Is Life Without a Wagging Tail?! I’m currently working from home so I have plenty enough time to play & care for your fur babies! I Do onboarding in my home whether It’s For A Few Hours, all Day , over night or for a few nights! I Love to update parents on their fur babies with pics and videos to show how they are doing as I know some dogs get separation anxiety from being away from their owners! I do not have a fenced in yard but I would love to take your dogs for walks to enjoy the fresh air and potty! I do not have any animals currently living with me so I don’t mind them not being in a crate, if your dog is crate trained and would prefer them to be in it certain times that is also okay with me.

“This is the second time Megan has watched our pup, Takoa. He loves playing with her dogs and getting lots of cuddles. Thanks for taking such great care of him!”

“Kathryn was great! She was very communicative all day, sent sweet photos, and my anxious dog was very comfortable with her. Excited to be a repeat customer!”

“Jessica watched West last minute on a holiday, and the whole experience was great. She was quick to reply, pickoff and drop-off was seamless, and the updates showed West was happy and having a good time. We would definitely recommend Jessica!”

“I used Rover for the first time for doggy day care over the 4th of July weekend 2022 while on vacation. I chose Janel based on her excellent reviews and the fact that she was conveniently located in DeepCreek/ McHenry, MD. I also loved that the dogs had full access to her home and even allowed on the furniture. Janel and her family welcomed my 50 pound female labradoodle with open arms as one of their own. I received photo's of My girl on walks and relaxing at the house which reassured me that she was in good hands. I previously used different company in the area and when picking up my dog she was very stressed and anxious. I assumed she may have been crated for some length of time. Not a good situation for an active 2 year old. She was the total opposite when I picked her up from Janel's home. Her tail was wagging and she was in good spirits. I am very pleased and feel fortunate to have found Janel and her family. I am a frequent visitor to the area and hope Janel's home will be a second home for Maya.  I'm so grateful for dog loving families like Janel's! Yolanda”

About: I decided to join Rover because my friends always contact me to take care of their pets and they say I should make a job of it :) I’ve also been a personal assistant to two families, which included staying with and checking in on their pets on a daily basis and while they were away. I’ve had a few clients over the years where I’ve taken care of their dogs, cats, rabbits, goats and other farm animals. I’ve helped run a small farm as well so if you have horses or other animals that need looked after, I’m all in! I have a college degree and manage a restaurant now. I’m very responsible, handle stress well, and have always taken my obligations very seriously. I’m trustworthy and always on time. That’s part of being a business woman :) Besides that though, I truly love animals and I’m very fond of dogs, cats, and horses. I’d love to help you out so be sure to get in touch! Fortunately, as a restaurant manager, I get to create my own schedule so I enjoy helping out families with their pets in my off time. If you need me to take your dog(s) for a walk, stop by to play with your pets, check in, potty breaks, or spending the night, let’s discuss what schedule you need. I’m very flexible and can also help with any special needs you may have such as giving meds or cleanings. Just leave me instructions and I will be sure to follow those and any other guidelines you may have. Keeping your pets safe and entertained will be my priority. I’d love to send you pics and check-ins to offer you peace of mind while your away.

“Our pup is experiencing some separation anxiety and so we weren't sure how he would handle a day at a sitters. Mckayla and Christian took such good care of him. They sent lots of pictures to reassure us that all was well with him. Thank you for your great care of our puppy! Note: only reason we are not repeat customers is that we live 7 hours away and were just briefly stopping here.”

About: I've spent my whole life surrounded by animals—caring for everything from playful puppies and cuddly cats to bunnies, ferrets, and more. I’ve fostered kittens, helped them grow strong and social, and supported pets through every stage of life. What started as helping family, friends, and neighbors has grown into a true calling. I have experience with pets of all ages, medical needs, and those requiring special attention—like blind or deaf animals who need extra patience and care. Whether it’s daily check-ins or last-minute sitting, I treat every pet like family—because that’s how I’d want mine treated too. I work from home and I make my own schedule. So, tons of time for walks, play-time, bathing, and cuddles. Missing your fur baby? No worries! As a fur mom, I know how reassuring it can be to get updates, with pictures and videos, while being away from your babies. I have 2 pups and tons of toys that will keep your pups entertained, and space they can retreat to if they feel overstimulated. I live close to trails for enjoyable walks, for the pups that are properly safeguarded with prevention and vaccines for a walk through the woods. I have plenty of kitty toys and scratchers for my kitty friends, so they can have fun and keep their nails in tip top shape. My fur babies have a calm and safe environment, and we’d love to share that with your fur baby.

“Amber’s place was easy to find. Her dogs were very friendly and Axel enjoyed their company.. they played and ran around and then all fell asleep”

“We left our dog with Jessica for the day while we went rafting. The time we could pick her up at was pushed back multiple times, but Jessica was so flexible, kind, and understanding! Would definitely recommend her services”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, having grown up with them my whole life, from senior dogs to playful puppies as young as 3 months old. I’m passionate about both cats and dogs and love taking them on runs or treating them to a sweet snack. Whether it's a leisurely walk or an active outing, I’m dedicated to providing fun, loving care for every pet I sit! I have classes until 3 PM most days, but I’m flexible and can adjust my schedule to accommodate pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m committed to providing reliable and loving care for your pets whenever you need me! I offer pet care primarily in my client’s home, as I prefer the pets to stay in their familiar environment. I have a fenced-in backyard, but since I live on a busier street, I find it’s often better for pets to be in a quieter, more comfortable space. If your pet is friendly, I also have a dog who loves to play and is very sweet. My home is safe, but for senior dogs, there are a few stairs, which I can work around to ensure their comfort. I’m flexible and always prioritize your pet’s safety and happiness!

About: I love animals and spoiling them is my game! I have 3 spoiled dogs. I have had my own personal animals for as long as I can remember. Each pet I look after is treated as my own. I grew up on a farm and we took in rescues of any kind. I have been taking care of puppies and kittens on bottles to seniors with shots/meds at times my whole life. Each pet I look after is treated as my own. I'm working part-time at home. I have time for play, walks, and maybe just a fun ride for a pup cup. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs. I have 3 friendly dogs, 2 small (8 lbs) /1 med (25 lbs). I have crates of different sizes, harnesses and leads, and collars if needed.

“Madison is very easy going and made doggy day care a breeze. Sent lots of cute update pics and I loved that my dog also got to make a new doggy friend!”

About: A true animal lover, I will take care of your animals like they are my own. I have experience with giving oral medication, preparing food/water, cleaning animal areas, bathing, and more. Having my own animals, I know how important it is to others that the person spending time with your fur babies is genuine, kind, caring, and very thorough. I am nothing short of this when it comes to watching over your family members. I will spoil them with love and affection while keeping them safe at all times. Being raised on a farm, I have experience with many different types of animals including raising dogs and cats. I can assure you I will take great care of them as well as be the best playmate they could ask for! My husband is an animal whisperer as you’ll see in the photos! Safety, kindness, and love is what you will get with me. I work from home and my hours are flexible. I can work around your preferred schedule. Mornings, evenings, weekdays, weekends, 30 minutes, hr visits, boarding in my home… you name it and I will accommodate it. Every owner has a specific preference for how their animals are cared for and I will follow your requests exactly as you ask as well as go above and beyond to communicate with you on any and all needs of your animal. I have two kittens at home and plenty of space to board your animals if needed. My community is quiet and walkable and I have a large yard if needed. If I am coming to your home I will accommodate your requests and routines that you have in place. I have experience with manual and automatic food, water, and liter devices. I am CRP certified and have a vehicle to transport if ever an emergency required me to take them to the vet. My best friend is a vet and my husband is a doctor. You are in the best of hands with me!!

About: I have had dogs & cats my entire life—all shapes, sizes & colors. I am passionate about providing loving and attentive support to pets of all kinds. I have experience administering medications, watching puppies, caring for seniors, you name it! Most notably, I pay close attention to those special pets who may need specific care. I am dedicated to making each pet's experience enjoyable and stress-free. I believe every pet deserves the best, and I will always strive to provide that with the utmost compassion and professionalism. My schedule is pretty flexible since I’m a student. I only have class on Monday-Wednesday leaving my schedule open almost entirely. I also have time those days too. I understand that some pets need fed on a certain schedule or let out more often than others. My open availability allows me to provide that. I understand the trust needed to allow a "complete stranger" into your home. I promise to make sure as though you and your pet don't feel as if I am a stranger. That being said, I prefer always meeting you and your pet before providing care. I will also treat your pet, and your home, as my own. Giving them and it the utmost care and respect.

“Great experience! Communicated well and my pup is wiped out from playing with their dogs:))”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life and I love to play with them and take them to the park and play fetch and run with them and have them happy. My schedule is available everyday through Monday - Friday. also I don’t work so my schedule is very flexible and weekends I’m off for babysitting dogs and cat because I’m spending time with my family. I’ll be happy to be your dog sitter or cat sitter and you enjoy your day! I would baby sit them in there own environment so they feel safe around me while I pet sit for the customers and have the customers feel safe to

About: You can trust me to care for your pets of any kind as well as your home just as if they are my own. I am a local dad that has the great fortune of managing my business from home. This leaves me plenty of time to take care of my newest family member, Casey!! We especially love golden retrievers and labradors. And of course all others Woff .as Casey continues to train daily to be a service dog.she's our special one she loves hosting After suffering the loss of our beloved chocolate lab Marley this past June, we decide to immediately get a new pup. The silence and her amazing presence was way to tough on our family to live without. We now have Casey!! Casey is our brand-new golden retriever puppy! She is now 1 year 7 monthss old and is always looking for and delighted to meet the newest visitor that will become her new buddy. I put my time and devoted energy into my family, my work and my animals, which are my passion. Our favorite place to go is Royal Lake in Fairfax but we do daily walks in our neighborhood throughout the day as well as Burke Lake. Burke Lake is a nice place but can get overcrowded so we tend to steer toward Lake Royal, it’s a really a serene place with plenty of wildlife and good smells! I am flexible with scheduling and have no problem with last minute requests. Your dogs will have full access to my home on couches and beds if you choose. They will live as my Casey does… perhaps a bit spoiled. ;-). My aim is to have a dog friend or two over for a safe place where your pup can come and not be caged while you are gone. Casey needs the exercise but more than anything she wants friends! I am not looking to run a dog hotel, just a family environment with a loving atmosphere. Because of my job I cannot leave during the day for long periods of time so your pup will be by my side most of the time during my care. I feel that exercise is key to good behavior so I try to make sure the dogs in my care will come home tired, loved and happy! I look forward to caring for your loved ones! we specialize in loveas Casey continue her training as a service dog. She loves meeting new friends and basically it's a doggy bed and breakfast with more love and harmony.she loves hosting.

About: There's nothing more wonderful than the love of a dog! I had previously primarily used Rover to find quality sitters and now my schedule is allowing me to return the favor. I'm a nurse and currently working on my Doctorate, so much of this time during this period in my schooling is spent studying from home, allowing me a very flexible schedule. From experiences seeking out sitters for my own dog, I know it is incredibly important (and sometimes challenging) to find someone trustworthy and reliable when life gets busy. I grew up with a number of dogs in our house and have translated that love over the last decade into dedicated involvement with foster/rescue organizations. I have experience caring for all dogs, from litters of new puppies to senior dogs and those with special needs. Some dogs I've cared for are experiencing their first taste of a home, and it couldn't be more rewarding to make them feel safe and loved while working on leash skills, potty training, baths, etc. I am happy to accommodate you and your pet's preferences--I understand the importance of routine, consistency, and willingness to accommodate a pup's specific needs My schedule is very flexible during the day allowing for frequent potty breaks, multiple walks, park trips, and plenty of attention/playtime. My senior girl Lilo loves having visitors, and we are happy to welcome another dog into our home!

About: Dogs love me, and yours will too. Comfort, play, walks, and stays, care for your fluffy friend when you can't be there. Best with small to medium dogs in my location. Available for any size dog for walks, visits or off site stays. Additional experience with nervous and easily stressed, or startled dogs, always willing to make them feel safe, sitting with them and more. Long term experience with lots of different breeds and sizes, from large to miniature and anywhere between. Porch has two steps. I can change my schedule to accommodate some requests. I have a house with small dog that loves to make friends with any social dog, however can always be separated if it's an issue. I can provide my own leash, bags, collar and more just ask. Prefer boarding here, but can make arrangements for other requirments. I need some advanced notice, although some same day requests may be possible to handle. I have an unfenced yard, however walks are easy around the house or around the neighborhood. Lots of attention avaliable. We have a male mini-dachshund in out home who is a senior, but shares well with others
