Doggy Day Care in Barcroft, Arlington, VA

“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.”

“We had a great experience with HK. You can tell when you meet her she is kind and loves animals. She sent a few updates, pictures and videos of Lando having a great time running and playing with other dogs which allowed me to have a good time on my dinner date. I highly recommend HK for all your doggie day care needs”

“Iuliia sent pictures and was very communicative throughout our dogs stay! It was a great experience having Pepper stay with her and we will definitely be back.”

“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!”

“Fiona was great and I’m glad she was able to take Jäger when my request was made a little last minute. Jäger is high energy and was exhausted when we got back home which is amazing. He’s usually a little high energy in his first day somewhere new and i feel he was in great hands! I’ll definitely use Fiona again!”

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!”

“Mery and her husband were really kind to accept a same day booking for Moose. He had lots of fun. They sent updates throughout the day, which made me feel at ease about leaving my pup. I’m sure Moose would love another play date with them!”

“Donna was very warm and caring towards our dog. She was very thoughtful in ensuring our dog felt comfortable and we really appreciated it. She was also fantastic in communicating with us! She clearly loves dogs and we highly recommend her!”

“Judy took great care of Saint and communicated with updates pics and videos Saint had a great time”

“I highly recommend Jack as a pet sitter. He has cared for my dog on multiple occasions, including extended stays of up to 10 days. 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.”

“Amelie was FANTASTIC! She was so good with our pup and took such excellent care of him to accommodate with the heat. Highly recommend!”

“Maddison (and Lincoln) are a wonderful team and Leia had the BEST TIME EVER! She’s still exhausted from playing all day with her new friends!”

“Alaina was patient with my senior chiweenie's quirks and was attentive to her special dietary needs and vet orders. She's very responsive and her dog Reagan is super sweet.”

“Was absolutely amazing!! She took Jamison on very short notice and had the quickest response, she also kept me updated throughout the day!! Jamison looked looked very happy!!”

“Justyna was our live in nanny for several years, and during that time she became a primary caregiver to our dog, Sky. Sky absolutely adored Justyna who would take her on long walks to all her favorite spots and also play and comfort her at home during "down time". Justyna has since moved out, though she still comes over to play with Sky and take her for walks. Sky is always soooo excited to see Justyna, who has a natural affinity for animals in general. She has a kind and caring heart and thinks of our animals as part of the family. Justyna as a person is also very responsible and respectful of others. I can't recommend her enough for this job!!”
