Doggy Day Care In Chevy Chase

About: I have loved animals all my life and grew up surrounded by cats, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I have a calm and positive energy that helps me connect with animals, and I enjoy playing with them as much as keeping them safe and comfortable. I’m patient, caring, and responsible, always paying attention to each pet’s unique needs. In my free time, I enjoy reading, which also means I’m happy to spend quiet moments with pets who like calm company. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to manage my time easily and dedicate attention to pet care. This way, I can adapt my routine around the pets’ needs, whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I have experience caring for dogs in the home of friends and family, and I naturally connect with animals. I pay close attention to their needs, whether they want affection, playtime, or simply some space to relax. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, keeping their routines consistent and giving them plenty of love and care.

“Juliet was very accommodating to my work schedule. She kept me informed with pictures and how Remi was doing throughout the day. She is caring, kind and sweet and will make sure your pup is taken great care of.”

“Michael took great care of my boy! Lots of play and attention; he came home tired out in the best way. Even gave him a brushing! He was also willing to be flexible with my uncertain timing, which was much appreciated. I would book with him again, no question.”

“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.”

“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.”

About: I have been dog-sitting and cat-sitting for my friends and co-workers for a long time and I can always help in difficult hours or last minute. At this moment I have a remote part-time job so I’m very flexible on schedule! Seven days a week from early morning to late evening. I live in a secured and safe apartment complex with a lot of green areas and generally a very safe neighborhood to walk around. I have a cat.

“Lee took excellent care of our dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. We appreciated the regular updates and our dog was very happy at the end of the day. Would highly recommend and use her services again.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.

“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”

“Bill took care of Banksy for couple of weeks and I would absolutely recommend him. Bill is reliable and punctual and Banksy was happy to see him in the mornings. I received updates and photos throughout Banksy’s stay and knew he was in good hands. Unfortunately Bill had to cancel his service since he got his own puppy - otherwise I would have kept booking him for the rest of the summer.”

“My Kira was so happy when I picked her up, she didn’t even want to come with me, thanks again for taking good care of my baby!”

“Christian is a wonderful dog sitter and walker! He ask great questions, is very caring with my high energy chocolate lab Waffle. He’s easy to communicate with. Would recommend him to anyone.”

Nicole P.

“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!”

“Sent a ton of check-in pictures, was on top of walks, my pup seems to have a great time and was super calm when I picked her up! Thanks Kathleen”

Caroline P.

“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!”

About: I'm a responsible, honest, and devoted dog and cat lover. If you're looking for someone you can trust and not worry about your pets with, I'm your gal. Since I have hired pet carers for my own beloved cats and dogs, I know the anxiety that comes with entrusting your loved ones to another person; once you meet me, you will not feel anxiety about trusting your loved-one/s to me. I am a retired teacher and marathon runner, and I worked as a professional dog runner in NYC. I can also provide references for my experience, diligence, capability, devotion, and character. I will show up reliably on time, follow your directions carefully, provide lots of pictures and details, and go the extra mile to ensure your pets are loved and safe. I recently retired and am available every day and most evenings of the week except for occasional Wed., Fri, and Sat. evenings but I can adapt my schedule to yours. First, I arrive on time. Then I check the overall state of the pets and home for health and safety. Next, I love and feed them and change their water according to their owners' instructions. I clean the litter and the surrounding area. For dogs, I get them out for their walks/ runs/ playtime as soon as I arrive, and on dog walks, I'm a diligent poop-scooper. For cats and dogs, I will play with and groom them, and exude love. All along, I will take pictures and send them to you. Once the visit is over, I'll ensure that everything in your home is in order and the door is securely locked.

About: I have been caring for and looking after dogs for as long as I can remember. I am very familiar with training, feeding, and caring for all pets, especially dogs. I believe they need to be loved and cared for, taken out for exercise and able to enjoy the world as we do! I have dog sat and walked for the past two summers professionally but have always had dogs of my own that I love and care for as well. I am great with discipline and fun as well, making sure the dogs are happy and well cared for. I can take them on runs, walks, or just give them a person to be around when necessary. Being with dogs is like therapy to me, so I want to do it as much as I can. Not much at all, I take mostly online classes and work no more than 3 hours a day, so the majority of my time is at home available for pets. I live directly across from a park and there is a fenced in dog park a few blocks from my home. If your pet is at my home I also have a very great security system and cameras to make sure all is ok all the time.

“Grette is amazing! She watched Loup for an extended stay before, and followed all our detailed instructions, as well as walking our dog many miles each day. Today, she was caring for him just during the day, and when we arrived, Loup ran right up to her with excitement. They walked 7 miles together! Her communication has been excellent, and the feedback and photos during our longer stay was above and beyond. Can't say enough good things about Grette!”

About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since I was a child. I’ve owned an Airedale terrier, a pug, a Russian terrier, and my family currently has a Japanese spitz. I’ve got all sorts of experience - I have adopted a doggie from a shelter before, and I’ve also raised my two pups from 3 months old until they passed a few months ago at ages 14 and 16. I’ve boarded dogs - I looked after a friend’s pug for a week, a family friend’s elderly golden retriever, and fostered a stray my sister and I rescued before someone adopted her. I’ve taken road trips with multiple pets, and flown across the country with 3 of my dogs, I’ve taken them to all sorts of vet appointments, and been with them through all stages of their lives. I’m on this platform looking for company to heal from losing my furry friends, because being around dogs brings me peace and joy. I am a performing artist and I travel a lot for concerts, so having my own pet is unfortunately not feasible at the moment, hence I decided that taking care of someone else’s furry babies while I’m home between performances is the second best thing:) You can rest assured that I’ll take great pleasure in taking care of them and having them in my home. I work from home during the day and I am home from evening until morning, too. I do however step out for errands and appointments. Your dog will be with me most of the time while staying in my home, walked 2-3 times and fed on schedule, but should be comfortable being on its own for 2-3 hours max, if I have things to do. If your doggie has severe separation anxiety and is unable to be alone at all, I can accommodate that with enough notice and for 2x my normal nightly rate. I’ve always let my dogs run free around the house and make a safe space for them where they liked, but I did crate my rescue doggie when he first arrived to slowly acclimate him to the new place. Whatever you prefer for your dog is fine by me and I’m happy to accommodate. I don’t have a yard, but I have plenty of green areas nearby where I’d walk your furry pal. I keep my dogs on leash at all times. I like training them and playing with them to give them some mental stimulation, but if they prefer to chill and not be bothered I’m cool with that as well

“Vernon took lovely care of our boy! He was communicative, timely and flexible. He took our request at the last minute and adjusted to our schedule. He is efficient and I could tell that our boy had a good time. This was our first time using Rover and he gave us the peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again!”
