Doggy Day Care in Braddock Road Metro, Alexandria, VA

“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and it’s so clear how much she cares for them. She made my own dog feel right at home! I really appreciated all her communication and her flexibility on my pick up time. Will 100% book again. Thank you Jennifer!”

“Lucy had a fun day with Russ and the two resident dogs. She loved being outside in the yard. Russ was easy to work with and very accommodating even when I had unexpected delays. Lucy can’t wait to come back!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities for over 6 years! From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I treat every pup like family. I’m confident handling multiple dogs at once, administering medications if needed, and making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well-exercised. My experience includes walking, bathing, feeding, and even a bit of basic training for good manners and leash behavior! I currently work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility to give your pup the love and attention they deserve! Your dog will get personalized care, cuddles, and plenty of playtime when they’re with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with a fenced-in dog park for both small and large dogs—perfect for playtime! Your pup will have great company with my sweet 11-year-old West Highland Terrier who is easy going loves making new friends. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.

“Abigail was incredible! It was my first time using Rover for the “doggy day care” and I’m definitely sticking with it. Abigail kept me posted throughout the day with personalized updates. Boba and Mila got along so well! I always feel a bit anxious leaving Mila behind while I’m at work, but I felt so much better knowing she was in Abigail’s care. I’m so grateful it worked out, and I’ll definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi! I'm Emily, and lived with a dog since I was four years old. My sweet resident dog Poppy and I would love to take care of and play with your pup while you're away! I have a large fenced in yard to play and relax in, and morning and afternoon walks are almost always in our schedule. As a dog mom for about 6 years, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs, and can accommodate whatever your dog needs. I am also a volunteer and occasional foster for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and previously volunteered at the MSPCA. I am on a hybrid work schedule, and typically am in the office Mondays and Wednesdays. I walk the dogs before work and after work, and when I'm home I'll have more than enough time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I'll make sure your pup has a fun and safe day! We'll have playtime, walks, and cuddles. Fresh water and a comfy dog bed (or sofa!) are always available.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra love. I’m calm, reliable, and really good at reading each dog’s personality and needs. I also have experience giving medications and keeping pets on their routines. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I provide. Every dog I watch is treated like family, with lots of love, play, and patience. I work from home and am starting grad school part-time this fall, so I have a flexible and consistent schedule. That means I’ll be home most of the day to give your pup plenty of attention, walks, and care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m always happy to adjust to meet your dog’s needs. Safety and comfort always come first. I don’t have any pets in my apartment right now, so your dog will get my full attention. While I don’t have a yard, there’s a peaceful running trail right behind my place that’s perfect for walks and outdoor time. Inside, pets have a clean and cozy space to relax, and I keep a close eye on them at all times. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I stick to their routine and create a calm, secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

“KIMBERLY IS THE BEST!!! She took the most amazing care of my pup Casper yesterday. He came home happy, tired, and with a huge smile on his face. She was super communicative and an awesome sitter. Not to mention the pictures she shared — she should become a pet photographer!”

About: Experienced, energetic, attentive and loving dog mom, who has raised several much loved and well cared for dogs over the years with my adult children. I will walk your fur baby in my Old Town, very walkable neighborhood, every 2-4 hours, providing lots of love and care😊 I am planning for an early retirement with the Dept of State. I live in a modern condo, located in Old Town, Alexandria. I am available for doggie daycare and boarding in my home, Monday - Sunday. I have lots of green space right outside my door and a park across the street. We will take neighborhood strolls, and hit the dog park. I will provide treats throughout the day and evening - providing photos along the way. I have blankets, doggie beds, games, toys and a crate, if needed. I will do my best to follow current habits you have established in your home for consistency. I do not have any pets at home. Tender care and safety are my number one concern. I will only board 2 dogs at a time, the only possible exception would be d/o & p/u overlap. I have lots of green space right outside my door and a park across the street, perfect for free play! Also will provide a discount for long term boarding, (1 month or more).

About: I have a variety of pet care experiences that set me apart from other sitters. I was a volunteer puppy raiser for the Guide Dog Foundation for two years. During this time I raised an 8-week old puppy and trained her to be a service dog. I have experience in potty training, crate training, basic obedience, socialization, and reactivity training. I have also fostered animals for local shelters including a bonded pair of cats, a 4-week old puppy, and a senior dog. I have experience in administering a variety of medications for both cats and dogs and am comfortable doing so. I have also personally owned a cat and currently own a young dog! I currently work a 9-5 job during the week. I work remotely 2 days a week and am available on weekends. I work very close to home, so I am able to come home during days I am in the office to care for pets if needed. I have an open apartment with room to play and snuggle with your pet. I am right by a park and lots of green space to play with your pet. I am also in a very friendly neighborhood to take dogs on walks. I have extra supplies if needed including a crate. I am happy to accommodate special requests if needed. I can also drop by and take care of your pet(s) at your home if you prefer!

“Samantha was great with my pup. I had a previous bad experience with a Rover where my dog was pretty shaken up for days after returning. This was not the case with Samantha. She has renewed my faith in Rover. Theo came home tired but happy. I will definitely be using her for future daycare days/overnight stays when I am away.”

“I am thrilled to have found such a wonderful in home daycare that only takes one dog at a time. Hannah (and Chris) are very kind, loving and communicative. My dog is 10 years old and this is the first time he has been away from our home. I was very apprehensive at first not knowing what to expect but the experience has been great! When we get to their door, his tail is wags a mile a minute!”

About: Hi! I’m Angela — a lifelong animal lover with 15+ years of real-world pet care. I’ve raised my own dog since puppyhood and have cared for a senior dog who needs extra support, including harness walks and structured 3-hour outdoor time for an entire summer (twice). I also have a cat of my own and spent six months nursing a sick foster cat with dedicated, loving care until she made a full recovery. I know what it takes to keep pets comfortable, calm, and cared for — especially when they need extra attention. I offer more than just pet sitting — I offer peace of mind. Pet care is a part of my everyday life. As someone who works from home, I’m able to provide consistent love, attention, and structure throughout the day. From scheduled walks and playtime to medication and cuddle breaks, caring for our furry friends is already built into my routine. Whether it’s sticking to a senior dog’s schedule or making sure a cat gets their cozy window nap undisturbed, I’m here — present, reliable, and fully tuned into their needs! I’ve cared for animals my whole life — including my 15+ year-old dog and a senior pup needing extra support with harness walks and daily routines. I also have a cat, including one who’s so comfy she lays belly-up and is well-socialized with both dogs and other cats. I recently nursed a foster cat back to health with daily meds, patience, and lots of love. I work from home, so your pets will get full-time care, cuddles, and attention!

“Nina was great! We were on vacation and had a last minute change of plans. Nina responded quickly to our inquiry and was able to accommodate us last minute. She took great care of Shadow! I would use her again if we’re ever back in DC ?”

“Chynna did a great job with my 4 month old puppy for daycare! She was very responsive, sent great pictures, and my pup had the best time romping around for four hours with Chynna's two resident dogs. I would definitely book again!”

About: I have been around and have had dogs my whole life, from puppies to senior dogs that needed medication 5 times a day. I’ve worked with dogs from high energy to low energy, 10lbs to 100lbs. I’m a stay at home mom with a 16 month old toddler. He comes on every walk with me, and we are very flexible. Morning, noon or night! I can come check in on dogs at your house easily and take them on walks around the block or neighborhood! I don’t have any pets in my home, but I do have a toddler, so we discuss having your pet stay with me if needed on case by case basis.
