Top rated Brightwood doggy day care sitters

“Our puppy Cody had an amazing day at Stephanie and Shaun’s today, and I would recommend them very highly to anyone who needs boarding or sitting services. Cody got to run around and play in a beautiful yard with their family and dogs. He was very well looked after. Stephanie and Shaun were very responsive and communicative, lots of pics and updates. They saved the day by taking a same day booking request for a last minute trip. I will book them again!”


“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”


“Taurus was great. Highly recommend. He’s communicative throughout the process. He suggested and then we easily arranged a meet and greet before he sat the dog. Great service”


“Justin and Jeremy are awesome! I needed a last minute sitter for my pampered pup and Justin and Jeremy responded very quickly to my request and I was able to schedule a meet and greet a few hours after speaking. My pup was scheduled for daycare the following day and I know she had a great time as Justin and Jeremy sent pictures throughout the day of her taking a walk, napping, and enjoying cuddles. When I returned to pick her up I could see she was very comfortable with Justin and Jeremy and had a full day playing with other pups as she quickly fell asleep on the car ride home. I would definitely entrust Justin and Jeremy with caring for my pup again! Thank you Justin and Jeremy! -Jessica and Coco Monroe”


“Brianne and her husband took great care of Birdie! We dropped her off for daycare on Saturday. They were extremely responsive and ensured a smooth transition for both drop off and pick up. Birdie came home happy and exhausted! They definitely made sure she was exercised and cared for.”


“My maltipoo had a great time with Asma! Asma quickly helped him feel situated in a new environment, and she was caring, fun, and patient with him (she also shared some new treats for him which he loved). Asma’s also very responsive and sent nice updates of their day together. Looking forward to the next time!”


“This week was the first doggy daycare for my pup with Matty. It went splendidly. We met initially so we all could meet (including my dog). Dropping and picking my pup up was seamless. And the actual daycare went amazingly—we got plenty of pics and updates. Matty already knows we intend to be regular customers.”


“Pat was the first dog sitter I ever entrusted with my dog, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He is incredibly kind, attentive, and truly cares for my pup. He keeps me updated with pictures every few hours and always responds quickly to any messages. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands every Tuesday with Pat. I wouldn’t trust anyone else the way I trust him!”


“When we arrived to drop our dog off with Michael for the second time, she leapt and cried with joy to see him. That's how happy she is spending time w him. We couldn't be happier. Thank you, Michael!”



“I was really impressed with Jason N. and can't recommend him highly enough! My pup is a shy rescue with separation anxiety, but she immediately felt right at home at Jason N.'s and was having so much fun with the wonderful resident dog that she barely noticed when I left. I received regular updates on her day that completely assuaged any concerns I'd normally have, and when I picked her up at the end of the day I found her happy, relaxed, and all played-out. Having someone I really trust to watch Stella is an immense piece of mind, and I'll definitely be calling Jason N. next time I need a sitter.”


“Nicholas looked after our dog Toby (schnauzer, 7 years old, male) for the day. He was super communicative throughout and clearly hit it off when they met for the first time. I was so grateful to know that Toby was in good hands with Nicholas. I highly recommend Nicholas and will definitely reach out again :)”


“Karen and Maria took amazing care of my dog! He felt right at home with them. He didn’t even want to leave! He loved snoozing, cuddling, and playing with their dogs as well.”


“Neesha was kind and loving towards our dog. The space is beautiful and idyllic for a dog to run around. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Neesha’s hands.”


“My dog was happy when I came back! Everything was great and finding Shantell's house was super easy. We were just visiting DC but when we return we will likely message her again!”


“My dog seemed happy and healthy on pickup after two nights. I didn’t meet Dominique, just met her brother on both dropoff and pickup. He was good with my dog and theirs, as well as a third old pup who was at the house at pickup. They had the porch secured with a barrier that would not hold a big or determined dog but it seemed they were out there supervising all the time so no worries about escapes. They communicated well, I got photos and a few texts around logistics. Thanks guys! We’ll definitely consider using them again.”


About: Dog lovers at heart! Last year, we said goodbye to our beloved senior pup. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we’d love to open our home to your best friend. Whether you have a playful puppy or a wise senior dog, we’re here to provide a loving, safe, and relaxing space. With plenty of room to roam, a yard, and beautiful parks nearby, your pup will enjoy lots of fresh air, playtime, and belly rubs. Let us be your dog's home away from home! 😊🐶 I'm a federal civil servant impacted by what's happening politically, so I am at home during the week with a lot of flexibility. I look forward to getting outside for lots of walks at any time of day. We do not have any pets or children. Our home is clean and secure. We have a deck and a dog gate. We have a yard that is not yet fenced in, but we have plans to put up a fence. We have plenty of parks and trails nearby for fun and enriching walks. We have experience sitting young and old dogs for friends and family.

About: Hi! My name is Ali and the TLDR is I wanna help you spoil your pups (and other pets) with lots of walks and love! I'll spend the extra time to rub their bellies, play fetch or tug, let them sniff every blade of grass until they say it's enough. And I'll work with you support any training, socialization or routines you have. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life from the time I was a child--I currently have a 6 year old Standard Poodle, Leo, and regularly care for my mom’s miniature dachshund, Sadie—they’re quite the pair on walks! While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been a pet sitter for over 15 years and have cared for dogs of all ages from 8 week old puppies to special needs seniors. And despite my claims of being a life-long dog person, I also grew up with cats and tend to be my friends’ cats’ favorite human. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I’m dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. I aim to give your pets the same level of care and attention as I do my own. My Services Right now, I primarily offer dog walking and drop-in services. Day care and boarding are a possibility if our dogs vibe. My rates for walks and drop-ins are a bit higher to give me the flexibility to spend some extra time with your pet to make sure they're getting the love, care and attention they need, so a 30 minute walk will be a true 30 minutes spent on the walk. Dog Walking: I’ll take your dog on fun, active walks tailored to their energy level and preferences. Within reason, I let the dogs pick their routes, sniff ‘til their heart’s content and look for opportunities to incorporate any training you’re currently working on with your puppers. Drop-In Visits: I’ll stop by to check on your pet, make sure they’re fed, hydrated, and happy. We’ll have a potty break, cuddles and playtime. If there are any accidents, I make sure to clean up right away and let you know in case there is something we can do to make your pet more comfortable. Day Care & Boarding: Requires a meet and greet with my dog Leo (since it’s his apartment too)—Leo prefers to hang out with smaller dogs and puppies. I have access to a fenced in yard for the dogs to hang out and play, along with walks with me and Leo. I live across the street from Rock Creek Park and have a very flexible WFH schedule which gives me plenty of time to dote on your furbaby. Something else: Does your pet need care that doesn’t fit neatly into one of the Rover care categories? Let’s figure it out together! A Little Extra I always appreciate regular updates when my dog is with a sitter so I make sure to send photos, videos and report back on how your pet is doing. I'm willing to work with multiple pets, small or large; follow special diets; administer oral medication; basic behavioral training and socialization training. I have experience working with dog-reactive dogs and working with new dog parents to provide support (and a little break!) after adopting a dog or bringing home a new puppy. Looking Forward to Meeting You! I’m excited to meet you and your pet(s)! Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet so we can make sure it’s the perfect fit. I work from home and set my own hours so I’m easily able to fit walks and drop-ins through out the day. For day care and boarding, we'll try to find a balance between your schedule and ours. I’ll treat your dog like my own while also making sure to follow any house rules you have. I will always opt for a long line in open areas over off-leash, I have fenced in yard for plenty of romping time, and I’m more than happy to slowly work with pets that are timid/unsure until they trust me.

“Willow had a great time playing with Chuck and hanging out with Sophie and Kelley. They were super responsive and they took great care of my pup. I'm so glad we found them on Rover.”
