Doggy Day Care Arlington

“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable! I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”

“Anna was an awesome day care sitter for our puppy Bamba! So sweet we could bring her there during our toddler’s bday and not have to worry.”

“Sophie had a great day with Andrew! She had a few nature walks that I can never give her. She loved her day away from home. Andrew is excellent to work with and incredibly professional. He was consistently quick to respond and sent lots of pictures of their day together. Andrew had Sophie this summer for a long weekend and Sophie returned home happy as could be! It's as though she was with family. Thanks, Andrew, for making her days so enjoyable!”

About: I'm an experienced dog-sitter and equestrian who's able to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. I work from home and am able to provide specified care for your pup while you're away, including: frequent walks, hikes in local conservation areas, and the administration of medications. I supervise dogs closely, can provide basic veterinary care, and live near an emergency veterinary office, just in case. I have my own dog in the home. When your dog is with me, they'll be cared for like my own with plenty of exercise, socialization, and love. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I currently walk and feed my own dog at 7:00am, noonish, 5:00pm, and 9:30pm. I can provide numerous walks for your dog each day during the week, and will take them local "adventures" on the weekends to local parks, Middlesex Fells Reservation, etc. My own dog is friendly and playful, and will keep your pet company.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10, have experience with senior dogs! I am at home all the time, and your dog will have my undivided attention I'm home all day, except for running a quick errand or two, so your pet will have my undivided attention! I also love going on walks or runs and cuddling with your fur baby if they'll let me I have a fenced yard where your dog can have supervised playtime and a large living room where your pet and I can hang out. I'm also happy to run or walk walk your dog as often as needed! I can offer intense and safe play for high energy dogs. I will respect your cat's space, but am happy to cuddle and play with toys as needed

“Paul took great care of Percy while we hosted a baby shower. and provided an update during the afternoon. He also provided door-to-door transportation which was very convenient and much appreciated!”

“Ben was great with Pepper! He was able to take care of her on short notice and was very flexible when I needed to change the pickup time from noon to 5 p.m. Pepper came back happy and it definitely looked like she had a great time with him. Really appreciate Ben’s help and flexibility!”

About: We’re a warm, dog-loving family in East Arlington offering a cozy, calm home for dogs to stay. We’ve cared for family and friends’ pets for years, and our 8-year-old daughter Ella is a gentle animal lover who loves joining in walks and cuddles. We work from home, have a fenced backyard, and host just one household at a time so your pup gets full attention. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge, or stick to a routine, we’re ready to make them feel at home! We work from home full time and walk to school each morning and afternoon—built-in walks for your dog! We’re available for boarding most weekends and weekdays with plenty of flexibility, especially during the day. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will be surrounded by people who truly enjoy their company. We have a private yard for outdoor time and will tailor your dog’s environment based on their needs—whether they’re crate-trained or free-range, active or mellow. Our home is calm, with no other pets, and we only accept one dog or family at a time to ensure your pup feels secure and cared for. We’re happy to follow any feeding, medication, or sleep instructions you provide.

About: Hello! I'm a Health and Nutrition Coach for humans and soon, animals. I'm currently studying animal health and nutrition and am pursuing advanced training and certification as a dog/cat nutritionist. I offer FREE pick up and drop off to Arlington dogs or within a 2 mile radius of my house. I live directly across from the newly opened dog park in Arlington, if that's something you think your dog might enjoy. I offer 1 hr. park visits to those who live nearby (within a 2 mile radius of Parallel Park). You can book a 1 hour visit in the dog walking section. I will pick up your dog, bring them to the park and bring them home. It's a nice place to go if your dog could use a little more exercise and might like to run around with other dogs or play fetch. If the park is too busy or the dogs don't seem like a good fit for your dog, we'll take a long walk along the river path instead. I generally do my coaching from home and walk about 10 dogs a week midday, in which case, I may be out of the house for a few hours M-F. This allows me to give the dogs staying with me lots of attention. I have a 3 year old Frenchton (1/2 French Bulldog, 1/2 Boston Terrier) named Maisy who is well socialized and loves most dogs. I can accommodate housesitting requests that allow Maisy to join me, after we ensure everyone gets on well. I will suggest we do a meet and greet in a neutral location for both housesitting and boarding -- maybe take a walk or let them run around in the park to see how they get along. Boarding can be a little stressful, especially when they first arrive. I always try and meet them where they are to be sure they have whatever time and space they may need to get acclimated to their new environment. I have a private suite for anyone that might like a safe space to themselves. I've used it to host seniors, dogs who have medical challenges as well as shy and senior cats. It's a large space with comfy beds, a big chaise lounge where they can look out the windows and it's bright and cheerful. I often do my morning work in there and will snuggle up with whoever is interested. I'm always interested in your pets quirks--and what I may be able to do to help them get comfortable quickly. I'd be grateful for any *pro tips* you have to ensure we get off to a great start together! I generally take 1-2 dogs at a time so they get lots of attention and I can customize their care. This is not a kennel environment. I do occasionally will take an extra dog here and there over the holidays and busy summer weekends. I included pics of my home in the photo gallery. I have a guest bedroom where dogs can sleep on the bed and stretch out, if they prefer. I have a nice sunroom that is all windows and has a comfy chaise lounge for long afternoon naps. I have a fireplace and love to keep my home calm and cozy on winter evenings. If your dog is crate trained, I have a medium size crate that I can set up for anyone who prefers it. It will hold a dog up to 45 lbs. You can also bring your own. I can only host dogs that get along well with other dogs and have a naturally calm demeanor. I can not take barkers. I live in an active neighborhood with a playground and dog park across the street. There are kids and dogs in and out all day and the dogs in my home can see them from the windows. There is lots of activity, the house's are close together and I have a very quiet upstairs neighbor. I want to respect and protect everyone's peace around me and not cause problems. If your dog sits at the window and barks at everything outside, they will likely be too overstimulated at my place and are probably not a good fit for boarding. I'd be happy to watch them at your house! ABOUT HOUSESITTING: If I am hired to housesit your pets, I'm happy to take care of your plants, water your garden and even feed your chicken's -- it's all included. I will also have Maisy with me, so I can only accommodate dogs/cats that will tolerate her. She is 3 and loves to play, eat and nap. We have housesat a fair amount and she seems to communicate well with other dogs. If they're not into her, she usually gets it after some dog to dog communication and will just leave them be. If they want to play, she will be thrilled to play. She's pretty good at reading the room and she will correct a dog that tries to hump her! I have a flexible schedule. I do most of my coaching from home and walk about 10 dogs a week. I do my best to respond to all requests within an hour until about 9, when I often turn off the tech til morning. If I respond to you and am available, please let me know *either way* whether you are interested. Rover holds the space in our calendar and we often can't accept other booking opportunities until we hear back from you. Thank you! I recommend a meet and greet in advance of me caring for your pet(s). I want to be sure that we are a good fit and the more information I have, the easier and more smoothly things will likely go. If I am caring for a pet in my home or yours, they generally have the run of the place, unless, of course, that would mess up your hard earned training. I take my lead from you and would greatly appreciate clear instructions on caring for your dog or cat to make sure he/she has a great overall experience with me. I generally feed dogs from different families separately regardless of a dogs temperament. I have a "no bones" policy if there are dogs from different families sharing a house together. From lots of experience, I've seen the most sweet, submissive dogs turn into little monsters if another dog attempts to steal their bone or try and eat their food. I work on prevention of those types of behaviors. If you want your dog crated during various times of the day or night, I have crates and can accommodate your dog. If they're not allowed on the beds or furniture, I understand and will keep the same rules. If they like nothing better than snuggling with you on the couch in the evening, that won't change either.

About: Hi, we're Kavita and Saunak! We love dogs and have a lot of experience with them from helping socialize dogs at a doggy daycare to fostering and now caring for our own two dogs, Mocha and Orbit. We have lots of experience with nervous and anxious dogs as well as dogs that just need to burn some energy. We’ve used Rover for our own dogs too, so we know what it’s like to trust someone else with your pup. We really try to provide the kind of care, communication, and peace of mind we’d want for Mocha and Orbit. Kavita works from home full-time and Saunak has a flexible schedule, so we’re able to give our guests plenty of attention throughout the day. Mocha and Orbit also love having new friends visit, but we have the space to separate dogs when needed. We’re excited to get to know your dog and their routine so we can make their stay as comfortable, fun, and home-like as possible! I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule. This means I can accommodate most schedules and make time for frequent walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day! We live in a residential area with a fenced in yard, so your pup can have frequent outside trips. I also work from home full-time, so your dog is never left unattended. And our two pup love to greet and play with new dogs but they can also be separated if needed.
