Doggy Day Care In Ballston-Virginia Square

“Miguel & Lisa have been absolutely phenomenal! My dog couldn’t wait to come back the second day. & They handled him eating a gallon of cat food so graciously. I wasn’t worried at all about Jäger while he was with them all day. Definitely will be a regular!”

About: Hi! I’m a dog lover with a friendly Samoyed who absolutely loves having other dogs around. If your pup enjoys playtime, they’ll have a built-in best friend here! I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where your dog will be treated like family. Whether it’s walks, play sessions, or just relaxing at home, I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need based on their personality and routine. I’m very mindful about introductions and always prioritize safety and comfort, especially for new dogs. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have—feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, or anything else that helps your pup feel at home. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in a happy, caring environment. My days are structured, active, and fun (with plenty of downtime too!). I start bright and early with outdoor playtime and walks between 6–9am while it’s still cool and calm outside. Around midday, we’ll spend another hour playing or head out on a little adventure depending on the weather. In the afternoons (4–7pm), it’s playtime again—our favorite game is catching wiffle balls in the backyard! I work from home so your dog will get constant supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I have a relaxed schedule that allows me to be very present and flexible with each dog’s needs. (I occasionally go into the office on Tuesdays, but otherwise we’re home full-time.) My home is very dog-safe and puppy-proofed (I’ve designed it this way for our own pup), and I’m extremely mindful about safety. There is no access to unsafe or human food, and I maintain a clean, controlled environment at all times. I’m happy to follow your exact routine—feeding schedules, crate training, medications, or anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. I also have an XL crate available if your pup prefers or requires one.

She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and little notes, which really reassured me that my pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring with animals.”

“Haley was a real lifesaver for us. We had a very last-minute request due to an emergency and needed someone we could trust with our senior dog, and Haley agreed to watch him without hesitation. She took great care of him and gave us real peace of mind during a stressful situation. She was also very flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“We had a great experience leaving our dog Otto to spend a day with Amina. She communicated very well and gave Otto the attention he needed. Otto also had the opportunity to enjoy the time with Snowy (Amina’s lovely dog). Thank you very much for the great care. Looking forward to have Otto spending more time with you soon.”

About: In addition to my own Golden Lab, Ralphie, who I was lucky enough to have in my life for 13 years, I've been the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and colleagues because I'm organized, attentive to any special requests, and genuinely have fun being a part of their dogs' lives. I work remotely as a Producer and 1st Assistant Director, so I am very flexible on times and locations for walking and sitting. If I have any major professional conflicts or travel booked, they are reflected as blocks on my calendar. On top of the core elements to keeping any dog happy and healthy (feedings, walks, exercise, socialization, and human company), I follow any special instructions or medical needs with total fidelity and record any to-dos that need to be tracked.
