Doggy Day Care Brightwood

“Joey did a fantastic job to take great care of my 7-year-old labrador who had a bit of separation anxiety. I am so grateful with Joey to accept the last minute request after a brief meet up. I would love to use his services again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Joey for your flexibility and patience with Meimei!”

“We love Shantell! She’s become our go-to dog sitter. So sweet, great communication, great photos, flexible, kind. Leo bounds up to her door and always comes home relaxed and like he had a great day.”

Amanda L.

“I felt very confident my dog was being very well-looked after. Cassidy sent me frequent photos and updates and seemed very happy to have my dog. I will definitely contact Cassidy the next time I need daycare of boarding.”

Emily P.

“Our puppy Fiona had a great stay with Chad, and Chad was super obliging and communicative when we had to adjust our second visit at the last minute. Thank you!”

Julia K.

“I couldn’t be happier with Adi & Pat’s care for Louie! They communicate well and clearly, they asked good questions to make sure they’d cover all the bases for Louie’s care, and provided regular updates and photos, which were greatly appreciated. Louie came home happy and relaxed after his stay and knowing he had a comfortable time is great peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for anyone looking for local sitters and I will certainly be rebooking for any future stays!”

“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”

Niamh H.

“Antonio is very calm and has a lovely home for your fur baby to enjoy while staying there. Barklee came home exhausted which usually means he had lots of fun.”

About: I'm a lifelong dog owner/lover who is also about a year and a half into learning how to be a cat mom. It's a pretty tight competition between my 8yo son and my 6yo beagle as to who loves dogs more. I work from home so if your pet doesn't like to be alone, that is not a problem. Walks and brushings are daily activities. Since the animals are allowed on the furniture the daily brushing is a must. Our cat has asthma and uses a daily inhaler, so if your pet also has medical issues/needs, they will fit right in. I've been petsitting for years for friends and family and would love to host your loved one as well. I work from home and occasionally have meetings or appointments during the day, so regular walks and lots of attention are easily managed. I also work for myself, so I have the ability to set my schedule. My backyard is fenced in, so unexpected potty needs or sunbathing are always accommodated. No space or piece of furniture is off limits to pets in my home.

“Josefa took special care of Indy and treated him with lots of love! She was very quick at responding to me and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely book again with her!”

“Gregory is so wonderful with Evie! We’ve used him multiple times and, honestly, it brings me so much joy and ease to know they take care of Evie like their own. They play with her, challenge her, cuddle with her, and she looks forward to going every time! She loves their dogs and they’re all like little besties now. Gregory has great communication and provides updates throughout the day to make everything even better. We love sending Evie here!!”

Laura L.

“Kathleen was amazing! She is really super with our little pup. He always comes home happy after a day with Kathleen, having played and had lots of walks in Rock Creek Park. She is very quick with communication and sends us lots of photos. I could not be happier with her care and trust her totally with our sweetheart.”

Gwyn I.

“McKinley was amazing. Our dog had a wonderful time, and was well taken care of. She communicated throughout the day, provided photos and gave our dog the attention he needed throughout the day.”

Zachary S.

“Definitely recommend booking with Ken! He takes great care of Sammy, is incredibly responsive, and sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the day.”

Allison G.

“Chris is the best! He was a total lifesaver & extremely accommodating when I needed someone to watch Casper last minute. Casper warmed up to him immediately & left his house exhausted after an eventful day!”

Jordan C.

“Michael was fantastic with our dog, Charlie! Very responsive and provided updates throughout the day. Look forward to having Michael watch Charlie again soon!”

Adam B.

“Shanilka and her family have a lot of great dog care experience. My dog was well cared for. I highly recommend Shanilka and will continue to rebook.”

About: My husband and I live in a spacious home in Manor Park with a very friendly rough collie and fenced yard. I am now back at the office and while my husband normally works from home, he rarely must be on-site on short notice. Please consider this possibility when gauging whether your pup could be okay during the day if needed. Our pup would love a pal! We take 2-3 walks a day and play as hard as we nap. We live near lots of green space and the Takoma dog park. We’re here to cater to your dog’s specific schedule and needs! Your pups have free roam of our house and can hang out in the yard or covered back deck weather-permitting. Potty breaks happen in our yard and/or on walks.

“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: I’ve had pets my entire life and have experience caring for birds, fish, dogs, and cats. My family has primarily had Shih Tzus and Boxers, and I currently have an 11 year old Shih Tzu. Caring for her has given me a strong understanding of the patience, comfort, and slower pace that senior pets may need. I also help care for my neighbor’s cats when she works overnight shifts. I’m comfortable following different routines and making sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular attention, companionship, potty breaks, meals, and time outside throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are not left alone for long periods and can settle into a comfortable routine. I live in a condo with a private fenced yard, which gives dogs a safe place to spend time outside. My home is calm and comfortable, and I currently have one senior Shih Tzu who is quiet and spends much of the day resting. I follow each pet’s feeding, medication, bathroom, and care instructions closely. I also take time to learn their personality, routine, and comfort level so they can feel secure while in my care.

“Caleb was absolutely fantastic with my pup Avi, who, at 15, is very sweet but can be a bit stubborn. But he took to Caleb immediately, following behind him with his tail a-wagging! In addition to being so great with my dog, Caleb was incredibly responsive, polite, and had great energy.”
