Doggy Day Care in Arlington Heights, Arlington, VA

About: Aside from caring for my own dogs as well as neighbors’ pets my whole life, I was a periodic live-in sitter for an elderly pug that required extra care, including medications and eye drops. I also fostered 2 chiweenie puppies for a few months until they were able to find a forever home. I work from home on my own schedule, and would love some company. Since I don’t have set hours, I have time for several walks throughout the day and into the evening. I have a spacious 1 bedroom apartment nearby several parks. I’m happy to stay in with a sleepy dog or go on long walks with an energetic pup, as I am an active person.

“Second time with Leslie and our puppy so clearly had a wonderful time and was cared for every moment! Leslie shared photos and updates frequently and is just delightful :)”

“Jasper had a great time and HK did an amazing job keeping me updated about his care throughout the day. I definitely plan to use her in the future!”

“Nimbus had another wonderful day with Jennifer and Mooney, and clearly loves it there (gets excited to see her and looks back at her house when we’re taking him back to the car). Jennifer is super responsive and always provides updates and photos on his day. Would highly recommend trusting your pup here!”

“Guy was wonderful!!! He was quick to communicate and sent lots of sweet pictures while our dog was with him. He was also so friendly and kind. Our pup had a great time! We will definitely use Guy in the future, and recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Guy! :)”

“Arial takes care of my sweet Perla when I travel. She takes such a good care and gives her love and keep us update of how she is doing. Perla is always excited to see her!”

“Millie is the best! Ralph always comes home relaxed and well cared for - she’s very communicative and was flexible when I needed to make a last minute pick up request - would definitely recommend!”

“This is our second time Thy took care of my two dogs!!! She is super responsible and very good to my dogs. Both of them were always very happy to stay with her : )”

“Katherine was the best! She sends the best pictures and updates. She was so prepared and we great with communication. She was a lifesaver with extra puppy food and bowls! Your pets will be in great hands with her!”

“Highly recommend! Simone was nice, empathetic, and patient! She sent regular updates on our dog with photos and videos. She let our dog sit on her lap while she was working. As a dog parent herself, she clearly knows how to take amazing care of pups!”

“Rafael Maldonado would be a great pet sitter as he has been such a wonderful and caring pet dad to his dog, Rocky, for the past 8 years. He is always thinking about his dog’s needs, ensuring Rocky eats high quality food, gets a good amount of exercise every day and that his dog also exercises his mind through game play. I too have a dog which I have entrusted in Rafael’s care. Levi is always happy and fulfilled whenever I come back. (Probably because Rafael just made him the best doggy dinner ever!) I am very picky about who I am able to leave Levi with and Rafael is someone I know I will not have to worry about Levi while I am away. Rafael is also great with many different types of people and personalities and goes out of his way to care for others in his community, especially the elderly who may be alone or need help. Overall, Rafael is a genuine and kind person who cares about all living things regardless of whether they have 2 or 4 legs. He would be the ideal candidate for Rover.”

“Ambarish is amazing with Lanna. She loves spending time with him, and gets excited every time she sees him. We've been taking Lanna to Ambarish's for over a month now, and we wouldn't change that for anything.”

“Laura was responsive and quick to accept my last minute request. She was communicative and I felt completely comfortable leaving Bandit in her care. She gave him a good walk too, despite the very cold weather. I will be reaching out again soon!”

“Andrea loves dogs and cares for them in a such a special way. She goes above and beyond for her pets and has always been surrounded by them throughout her life. She is caring, sweet, has a keen attention to detail and just very proactive.”

About: I have had dogs of various breeds and sizes my entire life. I have had a dog business walking and caring for dogs for the past 12 years. I am with the pups full time in my home. They are always supervised and are allowed to sleep in the bedroom with me at night. I have a very dog friendly home environment with a large double gated yard. I treat the pups as if there were my own. I provide dog beds and stainless steel dog bowls and filtered water to drink.

“Kailey was wonderful with our dog, Ringo. She put him at ease from the first meet and greet, and kept me informed on how his stay was progressing.”

“We needed a last minute daycare while we attend the sports meet out of state. We dropped Lulu off in the morning and picked her up at night when we returned. Communication was solid and we were very pleased that Lulu had a safe place to stay while we were gone.”

“Chelsey is a caring, thoughtful, and reliable person. She is one of the most dedicated people I know and I have no doubt she will make an excellent pet caregiver. Chelsey is an active person who loves being outside, so going for walks is right up her alley. She also has experience pet-sitting for friends and family and understands what it takes to care for a pet. Chelsey is an awesome, fun, loving person and I'm excited for her Rover journey!”

“Sandra was awesome, and helped cover a last minute appointment when another sitter had a conflict. She gave our guy all the attention and company he needed, and despite his anxiety he seemed to settle in well. Would definitely recommend.”

“Eduardo and Suseth were wonderful. They responded right away to the request and were proactive in setting up the meet and greet. Fred warmed right up as soon as they were in the apartment and I got lots of updates and pics. I can tell he felt loved and welcomed and that made me very confident and happy. I will 100% book them again.”
