Doggy Day Care in Ashton 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.

“Hk was great with my puppy! i was worried but she kept me updated all the time with feedback and pictures to reassure my dog was adjusting fine and i really appreciated that! Thank you and we’ll definitely bring Mia back again”

“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!”

“Winston was in the very caring hands of Lei over the last 2 days and we are truly appreciative. Communication was great and we loved seeing the photos she sent. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would love to re-book her the next time we are in the area.”

“Amber took great care of our pup and was very flexible with our schedule. We were in town for a wedding and she stepped up when we needed someone to help. She sent plenty of pics and updates as well. Highly recommended!”

“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!”

About: I used to have a black lab retriever, that I had for over a decade, she's a relatively big dog, so I'm familiar with caring for and watching larger animals. For the past four years I have been paid to watch and care for other pets other than my own, so I am familiar with watching other people's pets. My black lab was untrained for years, so if your pet happens to not be trained then that is okay because I am completely comfortable with an untrained animal. Since I do have a dog, I would not be able to host cats, but I do not mind watching them at your home. A little bit more about myself, I graduated from Penn State in 2018, with a degree in Political Science, and a minor in History, I also have a masters in Legal Studies from American University. I'm originally from upstate NY and moved to the DMV a little over a year ago. I work remote ask I’m able to give my dog as well as yours, the love and attention they deserve. I make sure to take them out long enough to ensure they receive daily exercise. I’m very on top of watching your dog and keeping a safe environment for all animals. I keep all things that could potentially be harmful out of reach.

“Nathalia is amazing!! She is very responsive and great with my labradoodle. Highly 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.”

“Carolina and her partner took excellent care of Winston! He had plenty of walks, games and belly rubs! He looked happy and comfortable when picking him up! Will definitely book again!”

“Supon is Amazing! He kept my dog Dorys for two days and she had a wonderful time! She had so much fun that when she came home she slept like a baby! Supon is responsive, friendly, flexible and has a sincere love for dogs. He communicated with me throughout each day with photos and other updates. I HIGHLY recommend him and will use his services again. Thank you Supon!”

“Dolce had a great day at Shane’s. He got tons of playtime and came home a tired and happy pup. Communication and updates were fantastic. We look forward to our next visit!”

“Bridget did a first class job taking care of my handicapped dog. Clementine is special needs and Bridget did not shy away from the extra responsibilities. I have already re-booked.”

“Maggie is in such good hands with Karen and Gilbert! Every time she is there, I get pictures and videos throughout the day and she always looks so happy. She gets walks, snuggles, playtime with the other dogs, and downtime when she’s there. Plus, they have a big backyard! Maggie is so excited when I drop her off in the mornings (which really puts me at ease). I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet care.”

“Luciana was prompt and professional. She seemed to love on our pups and took care of their needs. She gave a great and thorough report of how our dogs were throughout the day! Overall, a phenomenal experience! Would highly recommend for others!”

“Linde was fantastic. Our normally anxious pup was calm and happy when we picked him up. He seemed to have had a great time hanging out with his new friend. We appreciated the photos Linde took too!”

“Felicia and Michelle were great with kiwi they provided her with much love and play time, by the end of her stay she was tired from all of the fun she had staying with them! Im glad i booked with Felicia and Michelle and i would recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter for their pups they are super reliable and caring!”

“Peter was wonderful with my 6 month old pup! Tons of pictures and updates throughout the day, and she came home exhausted after playing with the other dogs. We’ll definitely be visiting again!”

“Liliana was absolutely amazing. She took excellent care of my furbaby. She kept me updated throughout the day and spoiled him as if he were her own. I highly recommend her and will certainly use her again.”

“This was my first time using Rover with my pup! I was a little nervous because my dog is deaf and can be a handful when in new environments. Brandon made my trip to DC a breeze. He was super reassuring and kept me updated. He has excellent communication skills and was very understanding. I would easily drop my pup to him again!”
