Doggy Day Care Anacostia

“My dog, Freddie, stayed with Joe for an afternoon while we were out in Beaufort. Joe has a great location, super convenient to downtown and a great backyard for the pups to play in. Joe made things super easy and his dog, Watson, kept Freddie busy and entertained for the afternoon. Would highly recommend Joe and Watson and hope to have Freddie stay again in the future!”

About: I had a dog named Buddy that I loved deeply for 16 years. Buddy passed away two years ago and it has been difficult moving on without him.I am looking for opportunities to dogsit for companionship and an excuse to be more active. I have dogsat for family many times and have experience caring for a range of ages and breeds. I am most familiar with caring for senior dogs. I work fully remote and will be able to be with your baby throughout the day. Please consider me you new sitter! Pet care fits into my daily routine, since I work from home, I’m able to take care of the dog during the day and night. I typically wake up pretty early and keep a regimented schedule throughout the day. I make sure the dog is walked. I make sure that I spend a little time playing with them if they’re older dogs and I spend a little time rubbing them or petting them. Some dogs don’t like all of that so you really have to pay attention to what type of dog you’re getting. Luckily I love all dogs so it’s all fun for me.

“Shelby was awesome! I had a last minute emergency, and she accommodated me and was very kind and flexible about it. Meech enjoyed his stay with her, I will definitely be taking him back there!”

About: I’m a huge dog lover and would love to take care of your baby! I grew up with/around dogs and have been pet sitting my friends’ dogs for years. My dog, Junie, is an easygoing girl who loves long walks and playtime just as much as she loves cuddling on the couch! We’d love to have your dog join us for fun and relaxation! My dog takes some medicine so I’m comfortable providing all sorts of medicines to your dog and accommodating for any special needs they may have. I always send lots of updates and photos cuz I know how important to me when I’m away from my pup! I work from home full time so your dog won’t be alone all day. I usually take my dog Junie out at least once during the work day but we can adjust based on your pup’s needs! I want your pet to feel at home! He/she will be allowed on the furniture as long as you allow that at home (don’t want to build any bad habits 😊). Junie and I love long walks before and after work and we’d be happy to have your dog join us. There is a dog park about a 10 min walk away that we got to pretty frequently as well. If your baby is more of a couch potato, we can make that work too! My dog, Junie, is very go with the flow and will be happy to do whatever your dog wants to do!

“I cannot recommend Melissa enough! From the very first booking, she has been reliable, communicative, and incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs. The updates, photos, and videos she sends always give me peace of mind and make it clear that my puppy is not just being watched, he is genuinely being cared for and loved. Archie absolutely adores her and gets excited every time he sees her. She creates a safe, fun, and engaging environment, and it’s obvious that she treats every dog in her care like family. Melissa goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What truly sets her apart is the extra effort and thoughtfulness she puts into caring for the dogs. For Archie’s first birthday, she hosted a birthday celebration with the other dogs in her care. Seeing him celebrated with treats, friends, and adorable photos was such a great feeling and meant so much to our family. It was one of those moments that reminded me how fortunate we are to have found someone who genuinely loves what she does. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, responsive, and will care for your dog as if they were her own, look no further. We are so grateful to have found her, and Archie is always excited for his next visit.”

About: Hi! I’m Sunny, a full-time pet sitter based in Arlington, VA. Caring for pets isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s my full-time career. I truly love spending time with animals and treat every dog and cat with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm senior dogs. I also have experience reinforcing basic manners and following each pet’s unique routine. Because pet care is my full-time job, your pet will never be “fit into my schedule.” Their comfort, safety, and happiness are my priority every day. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, plenty of affection, and a calm, loving environment while their family is away. My goal is simple: I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I welcome dogs of all sizes. For extra-large dogs or dogs with especially high energy levels, pricing may vary depending on the level of care required. Please feel free to reach out so we can discuss your pet’s individual needs. Pet care is my full-time job, so your pet will receive my full attention throughout the day. I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding on schedule, and plenty of companionship. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and provide daily photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment in Arlington with easy access to several parks and walking trails. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions (when applicable), and each pet’s daily routine. I only accept a limited number of pets at one time so every pet receives the attention and care they deserve.

My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely at ease. I offer a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine.
