“Fernie had a great first day care experience with Jodee and AJ! We did a meet and greet the day before with Maverik and their other regular day care pup, Winnie, to make sure everyone was compatible. Fernie had a blast sniffing and running all around the yard and Jodee sent me picture and status updates throughout the day.”

About: I’ve taken care of different kind of doggy.i used to worked at a dog daycare center and now i have my own business staying home a lot so i choose to see if I make use of of experience to take care of pups while at home I wake up around 8 at the morning and I will take them for a walk and then they will have their breakfast. After lunch I will take him for a small walk and later on hangout at around 4pm. they will have dinner at around 6 pm and then have a night walk at around 8-9pm I live at a apartment but downstairs have a big dog park. And I mostly WFH, so I will probably spend 99.9%with them, they will have my in their sight.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11, so being around pups has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up with dogs taught me not just the basics of feeding, walking, and playtime, but also the patience and attentiveness needed to understand each dog’s unique personality. I know how to handle energetic play sessions, but I’m just as comfortable giving gentle care and companionship to older dogs who need a slower pace. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as if they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s keeping up with a puppy’s training or providing extra TLC to a senior pup, I adapt to each dog’s needs with genuine care and attention. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine—I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize walks, playtime, and companionship around your pup’s needs. Living in Arlington with two roommates, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for pets. Our home has a large fenced backyard for playtime, a cozy porch for lounging, and a warm Ballston neighborhood perfect for walks. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on safety, comfort, and trust—treating each pup like family.
“Scruffy loved his three days of doggy daycare with Miryam! She took him for lots of walks and he came home very happy. She was a great communicator and we look forward to seeing her and her husband again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have taken care of friends and families dogs on countless occasions. I have watched messy puppies all the way up to semi-aggressive senior dogs. My schedule is flexible due to remote work! I have lots of free time throughout my days and am more than capable of walking multiple times per day. As a remote worker, I will be with the dog the entire time, for as long as I am scheduled to sit. I love frequent walks as well so I have no issue taking dogs out and making sure they are happily cared for.

During that time, he provided multiple daily walks, plenty of playtime, and endless affection. I always felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in his care. My dog adores him and is always happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when I return home. Jack is reliable, responsible, and genuinely loves animals—I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him again and again with my pet.”
