Doggy Day Care in Cottage City

“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.”

“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!”

About: As the VP of a dog rescue and senior shelter volunteer for many years, there isn't an animal I don't feel comfortable handling. From young puppies to seniors, to active dogs and dogs that need patience or positive reinforcement training, I am here to help! I am currently a part of the Department of Education reduction in force, so I have a flexible schedule mornings through mid-afternoon, Mondays through Fridays. I will follow whatever instructions you provide for your dog. If you'd like your dog to get some socialization, I am happy to include our personal dog who is incredibly dog social and tolerant. Please message me if you are interested in that at no extra charge. I am experienced with dogs that are not dog social as well, in addition to reactive dogs and dogs that are wary with people. Really, anything you and your pup need, I am here to provide.

About: experienced with all sizes and I get plenty of big babies. Many people with big dogs want to make sure the person they choose is experienced with larger dogs, even when they're well trained and behaved. Pets need physical exercise to stay in shape, I can incorporate this into your routine by taking your dog for walks or play sessions everyday. I have a fenced yard & a safe, caring, and loving family that loves dogs as much as I do. Your dog is good & safe with me!

About: I love dogs and my girl Stella loves to make friends. Due to her play style Stella does best with small to medium dogs who also like to play. If your pup isn't into playing, we can always crate and rotate so everyone has a good experience. In addition to Stella, I have fostered more than 30 dogs over the past 8 years. I am extremely responsible and understand that our pets are family and I would treat them as such. I work from home full time so I'll be able to spend a lot of time with you pet and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I live near several walking paths so despite living in an apartment you pet will be able to get out for lots of enrichment walks. I have a private patio where they will be able sun bathe if they like that too!

“Malvi and Andrej are fantastic sitters. For each and every dog, they take a personalized approach that is rare to find in many boarding environments. They have a safe and spacious backyard and home for hosting pups that’s so conveniently located right in DC. I’m a nervous dog mom, but have zero worries leaving my dog Benny in their care. Most importantly, Benny thrives in their home and it’s easy to tell that they care for him as their own. You really can’t do better, book them now!!”

“Brit had such a great time with Angela! They managed two walks, despite the rain, and Brit slept the whole way home. We will definitely be back!”

“Eden said Sora had a great day, and Sora clearly had plenty of exercise - she was one exhausted pup when she got home.”

“I highly recommend doggy daycare/ boarding with Natashia! She provides excellent care for my Coconut. I appreciate the regular photo updates, which give me peace of mind while I'm away. It's clear Coco gets plenty of exercise and attention, as he comes home tired from being out + playing with Appa (her pup). That’s why we book with her weekly! It’s truly a home away from home for Coco, that’s why he never wants to leave when I pick him up! Thanks Natashia!”

“Danny provided an amazing daycare experience for my fearful reactive Chihuahua, JJ, and by the end of the week he didn’t want to come home! Great communication and my dog warmed up to him immediately. Would highly recommend Danny to anyone.”

“Jeff looked after our dog (Toby) when I had to leave town for the day. I ran into delays during the commute home, but Jeff was v understanding. I'm so grateful for Jeff's flexibility and Toby came home a happy camper :)”

“This was my new rescue Jack's first dog sitting adventure and he came back very energized so I know he had a great day. Actually, Rita and Jack met me coming back from a walk. I got a few videos throughout the day about his progress. I'm very happy to have found Rita in my neighborhood and I will be using her services again”

About: I watch dogs in my home. Your dog will have plenty of play time with my dogs in my fenced in yard, daily walks, and I enjoy training basic commands and leash walking. *Note: I am not the right fit for dogs who need to be the only dog in the sitter’s home. As a mental health therapist with an anxious dog of my own, I am particularly attentive to your dog’s body language, signs of discomfort, and unique personality. As a dog owner myself, I empathize that it truly sucks that you can’t just text your dog to ask how they’re doing when they’re in another person’s care. My aim is for the next time you arrive at my home, your pup’s booty will wiggle and communicate it all! In the meantime, I welcome your check ins and am happy to send you plenty of pictures and detailed updates. I work from home M-F with a flexible schedule that allows for plenty of yard play and neighborhood walks. Because my work hours are different each day, mid day dog walking is not possible for me unless you live in the Hyattsville/Bladensburg/Riverdale area of Maryland. Communication, safety, and advocating for your dog’s needs are of utmost importance to me. For example, my dog loves trail runs, hikes, and trips to the dog park. Should your dog enjoy any of those activities, you can trust that I will be attentive to their needs and advocate for them in different environments. If you’re not sure but want me to try, I’ll be attuned to your dog’s cues and respect their communication. I will not push them past their limits - they need to know I have their back. I have one large and one small crate should your dog be used to crate sleeping or in the process of crate training. Let’s discuss what your dog needs to feel comfortable when we connect.

“Amy does a great job taking care of Lucy!”
