Doggy Day Care Blackwood

“Can I give six stars?? Evie and Fritz provided the exact care we were looking for. Great spaces for playing and cuddling, steady stream of attention, and pure love for dogs. When our pup got too distracted to eat dinner, they sat with her to make sure she was fully fed. Highly recommend and cannot wait to book with them again!”

“Amanda has been a blessing. I am new to the area and have travel hour and work hours issues that she has graciously accommodated. My pup is also a Cushings and she follows his eating protocol. If you’re in need of a sitter immediately she is very reliable. Thank you Amanda!”

About: Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family. I'm currently a stay home mom of two kids (10 and 13) and our two furry best friends Togo and Ninja. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they need. I have a big fenced yard and a gentle, funny and loving dog, Togo and our cat Ninja who likes to sleep all day long!

“Adrian is THE BEST!!! Romy has been going for daycare at Adrian’s for the past few months. Every time we pull in she knows who she is going to see and is ecstatic!! He is so good to Romy. He sends us constant photos and videos, which makes me so happy! She gets to go on walks and play alllll day. As a nurse, I have some long hours and finding someone to watch your pup while you're gone all day long is almost impossible. He works with me around the times I need to he gone and I wouldn't trust anyone more! Thank you Adrian!! You're the very best!!”

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I currently have four of my own and bring years of hands-on experience caring for special and medical needs pups. As a former dedicated foster, I’m confident handling a variety of personalities and care routines, while happily welcoming all dogs. Dogs enjoy plenty of activity (or not!) with access to a large, fenced yard and walks in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood. My dogs are relaxed, friendly, and adjust well to new companions. I’m best suited for dogs who are housebroken and have good home manners. No matter if you’re looking for daycare, overnight boarding, social time, or longer-term care, this is a warm and reliable spot for your pup. ***I do require a meet and greet at my house prior to a stay. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be home throughout the day. I’m always home in the evenings and maintain a structured routine for feeding and medication needs. Daily walks are part of our routine with one of my dogs and are available for visiting pups as well, weather permitting. We almost always have soothing music on to keep a very chill vibe! A safe, comfortable stay with plenty of space to relax and explore. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard and a screened-in porch perfect for lounging and watching neighborhood activity (and local wildlife!). I prioritize safety by crating or gating dogs when I’m away briefly, and I’m rarely gone for more than a couple of hours. While I’m home, pets enjoy free roam and can settle in wherever they’re most comfortable—including bedtime. My own dogs are very relaxed but social and engaged. We’re a great fit for dogs who enjoy low to moderate activity and interaction but are also able to settle down and relax or play on their own. For everyone’s comfort and safety, visiting pups should be friendly, well-behaved, and non-aggressive.

“Julie is super kind and friendly, great with Zuko, and very flexible. Zuko loves going there. House is kept clean and her dog is very well behaved and chill/gets along with other dogs.”

About: My neighbors trust me to take care of their furry friends when needed. I’ve since moved away for college and hope to meet more pet parents through Rover! I’m currently studying for the MCAT part-time, so my schedule is flexible and I am free to take care of your pet any day of the week! I can easily stay overnight and or simply go for a walk. I live in a pet-friendly townhome with my sister who also loves animals. We have a spacious living room that can accommodate a crate and an unfenced yard.

“Mocha had such a great experience today! Cathryn was kind and made sure mocha felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine love shown toward her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would definitely book again and highly recommend her services.”

“Alaina and Nick were wonderful! My pup stayed one day during the day while I visited a friend nearby. He had a great time and was very well cared for. Communication was great before, during, and after his stay. 10/10 would trust Alaina and Nick to watch him again.”

“Murray had a great time with Rosa!”

Alex B.

“Thanks to Jessica for taking care of our two dogs (5-year-old Max and 5-month-old Charlie) while we went to dinner and a show. She was super communicative and sent lots of photos to let us know the dogs were having a good time. She even took our puppy to the dog park to let him burn off some energy. It’s clear both pups had fun!”

Kristin T.

“Heather was able to accept my request for day care for my dog very quickly or last minute. My pup was happy and tired at the end of the day. I would recommend going to heather for day care!”

Summer O.

“I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Scamper received! Scamper was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Thank you for being so wonderful!”

About: Hello! My name is Cecilia, and I am a junior at UNC Chapel Hill, but I will be in DC until August. I am a well-known contact for dog/cat sitting and walking in my neighborhood and thought I would expand my services to the rest of D.C. I have also fostered dogs and successfully gotten them adopted. I often volunteer at Lucky Dog Rescue on weekends to help handle dogs. I have had cats before and adore them. I often cat sit for my neighbors. I mostly work from home and can be around pets all day. For dogs, I have time to take them on at least 2-3 walks a day and can do more/less based on the dog. For cats, I am available to give them a lot of attention and care throughout the entire day. My house is dog proof as I have had dogs for my entire life, and there has rarely been a time when at least one dog is not residing there. We have a really large, fenced in yard and I like to take dogs to dog parks nearby if they do well there. I like to work outside and be around them in the sun and grass. There is a small pool in our backyard that dogs can cool off in as well.

About: I have cared for dogs of all different ages and breeds from senior Italian Greyhounds to Leonberger puppies. Safety and comfort are my top priorities for pups and I believe every dog needs his or her special time to just be a dog during the day. I have a lot of free time to dedicate to your pup! I am experienced with administering medicine to older dogs/dogs with anxiety. I also have the energy and patience for younger dogs, and am able to walk multiple dogs at a time, if it is needed. I’m available for walks and overnight stays. I have reliable transportation for doggy day adventures! I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to ask my any questions you may have. I currently have open availability and am looking forward to meeting new doggo friends for day care, overnight care, walks, and drop-ins. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! When I'm dog-sitting or walking, I am happily and fully committed to your pup. No dog is the same, just as no person is the same. Each family has its own culture and needs. I want your animal friend to be as comfortable as possible, so I will follow any routines or dreams you have for them.

“Luz was so accommodating of a last minute request while the AC was fixed and very lovingly cared for Keno for the day. I’d have no hesitations booking with Luz again!”

“Greg and his daughter, Angela did a great job with our 6 month old Golden-doodle. She was definitely worn out when we got home so obviously had good exercise.”

About: Very friendly towards both dogs and dog owners, flexible with different dog breeds, sizes, and conditions. Comfortable with commutation and offering the best possible service 👏 Pet care fits into my schedule almost the entire day by implementing pet care, walking, spending time, and also feeding dogs that I am currently looking after. I’ve been raised in a dog family my entire life and I’m more than knowledgeable with looking after animals including cats and dogs.
