Doggy Day Care Colonial Village

“My dog had a great time at daycare! Fengyuan provided regular updates throughout the day and I felt comfortable leaving Flynn in his care. Pick up and drop off was quick. Flynn came home happy and most importantly tired after a fun day. Would definitely book again!”

Linda N.

“Aoife was wonderful with my dog. From the meet and greet to his day staying with her. My dog can be anxious and Aoife definitely had a calming, caring energy that had a positive impact. She responds quickly to communication and is helpful in very way. Highly recommend.”

Cindy L.

“Chang took wonderful care of Zoe! I really appreciated the updates and photos. Zoe looked very comfortable with her. I will definitely book with Chang again!”

Wendy C.

“Alexis & Katie were amazing hosts to our pup! He can be nervous when left with new people, but by the end of the day he was curled up on their laps. They were so nice and accommodating - would certainly book again!”

Madi R.

“Haley was a real lifesaver for us. We had a very last-minute request due to an emergency and needed someone we could trust with our senior dog, and Haley agreed to watch him without hesitation. She took great care of him and gave us real peace of mind during a stressful situation. She was also very flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

Giannina N.

“Catherine took care of Nandi perfectly, giving him plenty of playtime and exercise throughout the day. She kept me updated with videos, which was so reassuring, and Nandi looked incredibly happy playing with Winston and Bauer. Highly recommended, and I would definitely love to book with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and can’t imagine life without them. I grew up with dogs and, at 18, became the full-time caregiver for two lovable Springer Spaniels. I cared for them through every stage of life—including their senior years—gaining experience with medication, mobility support, and lots of extra TLC. As a teacher, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong communication to everything I do—including pet care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. Whether they need playtime, snuggles, or senior care, I’m here to help! As a teacher, I finish work around 3 PM on weekdays, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for drop-ins, walks, or pet sitting. I’m also available for boarding on weekends and school holidays. My schedule is consistent, and I always make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and love they deserve—whether it’s a weekday visit or a weekend stay! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether caring for them in your home or mine, I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and relaxed. I follow your instructions carefully—feeding, routines, medication—and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My home is pet-friendly and quiet, perfect for weekend boarding. Plus, I live close to a dog park, so your pup can enjoy safe, fun playtime and socialization. I always make sure every walk or visit is secure, stress-free, and tailored to your pet’s needs.

“Troy took wonderful care of Eevee and provided updates. She got plenty of cuddles and good walks while in his care. My little bub has separation anxiety so it was great to have someone with her during the day. I will absolutely book with him again if we are in the area!”

Sarah M.

“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”

About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.

About: I love all kind of animals. I own two dogs and they are my family and everything. As a dog owner I know how important and how hard to find dog sitters that you can trust and depend on. I have my own car and I am pretty flexible during the day. I can take care of your pet needs including walks, going to dog park, trip to pet store, playtime. I am 35 years old, I have been in DC area over 8 years. I know the DC and Arlington area well. I have full time job but I mostly work nights. I am free during the day besides spending time with my furry babies. They love going to dog parks and walking in the neighborhood.

About: We’re a pet-loving couple with over 10 years of experience caring for pets together, plus plenty more individually. We’re proud pet parents: our home currently includes Stewie, our affectionate 11-year-old rescue tabby, famous for his face snuggles. We still hold our family dogs close to our hearts, even though they don’t live with us, Cora, my rescue Maltese who now lives with my mom back home, and Kira, our Spitz, who we fondly remember after crossing the rainbow bridge earlier this year. Over the years, we’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies and kittens to wise senior pets. Our combined skills include: - Training energetic puppies using positive-reinforcement methods - Providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets, including medication reminders and slow, comfortable walks - Walking dogs of all sizes, and even “cat-walking” adventurous felines - Offering reliable overnight care in our home To give every pet our full attention, we host one animal at a time, making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. We take joy in creating a fun, calm, and welcoming environment and would be honored to care for your furry friend like part of our family. We both work from home, so there’s always someone around to give your pet attention and love. Morning walks, midday potty breaks, afternoon play, or evening snuggles, we can fit care into any part of the day. We’re flexible and happy to step in on short notice whenever your furry friend needs us! - Pet-Proof Home & Dedicated Space: Your pet has access to our entire pet-proofed home, with plenty of room to explore and relax. We also have a quiet “pet suite” with cozy bedding, toys, and essentials, which can be used for rest, downtime, or extra comfort. - Resident Cat Introduction: Stewie, our gentle and curious tabby, can meet your pet slowly and supervised—or we can keep them separate if that’s best. Structured Routine: We maintain consistent feeding, potty breaks, walks, and naps to match your pet’s usual schedule. - Emergency Ready: Vet contacts and a “go bag” with leashes, carriers, and essentials are always ready. We send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love throughout their stay! :)

About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.

About: I live in the city and work for myself, so my hours are flexible! I absolutely love training dogs and puppies, as well as taking care of each animal as if it was my own! I fostered a few puppies, including very aggressive ones, and then happened to adopt the last one I fostered- my pup, Rosie! Rosie doesn’t live with me on the days I have available for pet sitting. I’m very good with reactive and anxious dogs as those are mainly the ones I’ve fostered. Also, I’m confident in high stress scenarios, including reactivity, health issue scares, or sudden crisis situations. I work from home as a business owner, managing my own hours. It’s easy for me to do a last-minute bookings or plan in advance. I treat all animals as if they’re my own, meaning, I feed and walk them at their proper hours, consider their feelings, and respect the wishes of their owners!

“Remi had another amazing time with Julia! Julia keeps us updated throughout the day with photos and updates on Remi. We highly recommend Julia for your pup!”

About: Animal lover without one of my own right now! I have grown up with animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and bunnies. I live an active lifestyle and am looking to get out of my home office more. I work from home and have a flexible schedule throughout the day to help you out! Typically I am free before 9:30, between 12:30-1:30, and after 5. I tend to stick around town on the weekends and am flexible. I will treat your pet like it was my own. I am a very responsible caretaker and will follow whatever instructions you give. I am comfortable with many personalities of animals.

“Bruno was so accommodating and understanding! He was flexible with pick up and drop off location and time. He was patient with my little barkier-than-usual pup!”
