Doggy Day Care in District Heights

About: As a woman In her 40s, in addition to growing up with a German Shepard/Husky mix, I’ve had years of experience with dogs. In 2019, My daughter & I added a new addition to our family which is known as Our Chihuahua Mellow 🎀! With that being said, I have experience with pups ranging in Age, Breed & Size. I work part-time , so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’d prefer any bookings with atleast a 2-3 day notice so I can adjust my schedule and take care of your fur babies to the best of my abilities! 🐶 I have a Fenced in backyard that allows the dogs to play on a Safe & confined space. I also have a large crate if needed.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and it ignited my passion to become a veterinarian—something I’m currently diving into with excitement! I adore animals like they’re my new best friends, and working with all sorts of creatures has filled my heart since I was a little girl. Now, getting the opportunity to do what I love feels like a dream come true! I’ve had incredible experiences grooming pets, administering medicine, and ensuring their daily needs are met—each moment is an adventure! I even got certified as a canine attendant, which was an amazing milestone for me! Plus, it’s not just me; my whole family joins in on the fun with pet sitting! If you ever worry about your furry baby when they’re in my care, put those fears aside! We are all passionate about providing love, respect, and the very best care for every furbaby we encounter. We’re dedicated to making tails wag and hearts happy! 😊 I’m currently a college student so having a routine for myself and my fur baby is a must in my books! I love to experience meeting new personalities with animals as I do people. Although I am young (I like to hang out with my friends of course) I still try to insert my pet into my fun through a safe manner. With me, there’s always room for a fur baby to tag along and enjoy themselves as much as they can. My family consists of a lot of kids and puppies so whenever your pet is here they are always on the go. I try to keep your fur baby as active as possible especially if they’re a high energy baby. Just know your baby is gonna be living a dream life in my care!

“Melissa is a great host! Sasha loves her. She takes care of Sasha like it was her own. Melissa is responsive and will keep you updated. She cares for your pet and make sure they are safe and well taken care of. Sasha knows when it is daycare and time to go to Melissa’s house.”

About: I've taken care of small dogs for the past twenty years spanning from puppy to senior. Playtime with lots of cuddles are always a go-to activity. I'm a work from home warrior that has a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide array of time commitments for varying pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard with lots of walking trails in my neighborhood. My pomeranian male, Ace, is with me full time but also loves visiting his grandparents nearby.

About: Caring for pets of all kinds starting with dogs since as young as 10 years old. We now care for 2 senior dogs and a cat of our own. Trusted by friends, family, and strangers to look after their fur babies whenever they are in need. I currently work a hybrid telework schedule so for the majority of the week I am at home and able to take care of pets. My partner works part time and is also able to care for pets in the home as well. We have a fenced back yard, 2 dogs and a cat of our own so your fur baby will never be lonely! They’ll also have plenty of space to roam around. We can crate if need be as well.

“This was my puppy’s first time at doggy daycare, and Jayla was amazing! She made me feel completely comfortable, kept me updated throughout the day, and sent plenty of photos. My pup had a great time playing and socializing with another puppy. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I could remember. I have also worked at Petco & Petsmart so I also am very educated on animals! I will make sure your pet is comfortable & spoiled. When I wake up I go to Starbucks- where I will walk your fur baby if you have a dog & with your permission give him or her treats- plenty of play time & walks & then a nap! I work from home- so I don’t need to leave for any reason & have plenty of treats! I also will send plenty of pictures of your fur baby.

“I appreciate all of Denisha’s efforts to try to accommodate my dog’s needs. It did not turn out working out but that’s due to my dog’s own personal special needs and needing more individualized special care. Denisha was very patient and honest during my dog’s care. Some sitters do it for the financial gain but I could really tell that Denisha genuinely cares for the dogs that she sits. She was responsive and provided frequent updates/pictures. I really am thankful that she cared about my dog’s comfort and tried to accommodate her needs. I would definitely recommend Denisha!”

“Toby had another great day at doggy daycare with Diego! I received tons of update videos and photos throughout the day. Diego takes care of my pup as if he were his own. I’ve used him several times and will continue to do so!”

“My baby Titan had a great time with TayShawn and her family. He was all tuckered out when he got home from playing. I would definitely use her again. Thank you for loving on our baby like one of your own”

About: I am considered and called the “Dog Whisperer” amongst my Doggie group and family. I love and take care of dogs and cats as if they were my own kids. I telework and have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to be attentive and available for your fur babies as I am to my own. I am able to make schedule accommodations, if necessary. I offer an intimate and warm family environment when I welcome your babies into my home. They are not treated as if they are in confinement and/or at a dog shelter, but as if they are a part of my family. Although they are free to roam the house, crating will be used if needed. If you are welcoming me in your home whether it’s to drop in or home sit, I am here to see fit that I continue the same patterns of the schedule and routine and to express the love you give your babies as if you were here.

“Nice mother and family to take care of my pup with constant updates being given, allowing me time for long activities without much worry for her.”

“Joseph was an excellent caregiver for my 4 month old puppy Kakashi and demonstrated a great deal of professionalism and attentiveness throughout the duration of the stay. I was impressed with the level of communication from Joseph before, during, and after the dog-sitting period. Joseph was proactive in providing regular updates on Kakashi's well-being, including feeding times, walks, and any other notable activities. Joseph was also very accommodating to Kakashi's needs and preferences. He was patient and compassionate with Kakashi, who has had very little experience around other dogs and can be anxious in unfamiliar environments. Joseph provided ample attention, cuddles, and playtime to keep Kakashi calm and comfortable. Kakashi returned to me happy, calm and exhausted from a busy day. I honestly didn’t hear a peep out of him for the remainder of the evening. He ate dinner and immediately curled up for bed. I highly recommend Joseph as a dog-sitter. His professionalism, communication skills, and genuine care for animals make him an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate caregiver. Thank you, Joseph, for taking such good care of Kakashi!”

I am happy to send pictures to keep you updated and please feel free to contact me anytime. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I let my dog out into the backyard or walk my dog every 3-4 hours. I can comply with any instructions for pet care. I have a crate in my home for those who need it.

About: I’ve taken care of all the dogs in my family for years. We go to parks, go on rides, and they enjoy healthy snacks during the day. I work from home and at a storage facility where I live on site. I take my dog out every 2 hours and we even go to the park while I work. The gate to my apartment is fenced completely, there is even a park not to far. People know me and my dog. They know she’s the dog that always grabs a stick 3x her size and ru around with it.

“Danielle is great with Diggy. She keeps me updated during his stay and also send pictures. I truly appreciate her in taking care of my fur baby. Thank you, Danielle and you are greatly appreciated!!!”

“Anthony was awesome and Bruno definitely enjoyed his stay. Anthony was very personable and made my wife and me instantly comfortable. Bruno made a couple of new friends with Anthony's dogs, and I could tell by the excitement and the tail wagging that he was enjoying his time there. As long as Anthony is available, we definitely plan on making this a long term situation.”
