Doggy Day Care Donaldson Run

“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!”

“Laura was very communicative and thoughtful. Milo was so excited to see her and was well taken care of!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years- I am great with all breeds and have a knack for training puppies (and older dogs too!) I am working from home and live right along a beautiful pet friendly park! I go on walks and runs throughout the day so love taking pups out with me! I ensure dogs are well taken care of and have experience administering different medications to dogs (including allergy injections) and following dietary restrictions or other needs. I show a lot of love and affection to pups and will keep them occupied and hopefully burn some of their energy playing and going on walks/runs!

“Guy helped us out when we needed a Doggie Day Care while we were visiting Arlington National Cemetery for an interment. We didn't know how long the 3 ceremonies would take, and he told us that he would help us for whatever we needed. With all that was going on for us, he offered comfort in taking care of our beloved Toby.”

About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner with over 2 years of hands-on experience taking care of my own cats every day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and paying close attention to their behavior and health. I have also helped friends care for their pets while they were away. I know that every pet has a different personality, so I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and happy to give energetic pets the attention and exercise they need. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can provide pet care at any time of the day and accommodate different schedules, whether you need morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care. I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special requirements. I take time to build trust with every pet and always provide photo and message updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my dogs! She took excellent care of them and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and little notes, which really reassured me that my pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring with animals.”

“Kanishka was wonderful! She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and kept me updated throughout my dog’s first stay at her home, which I really appreciated as a nervous dog parent. My pup came home calm and happy, which tells me she took good care of him!”

Jackie H.

“Diana was great with Pisco! He had such a fun time and she took such good care of him. She’s very responsive, communicative, and makes sure to share fun memories as well. Even when Pisco wasn’t feeling the best she made sure he was comfortable and kept me informed. Would definitely recommend her and return for more bookings!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with Labs, German Shepherds, and cats taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I have also volunteered with the Animal Welfare League of Arlington for two years, where I have gained additional experience caring for animals and learning about different behaviors and temperaments. In addition to general pet care, I have informal training experience with dogs, including helping reinforce basic commands, positive behaviors, and good routines. I enjoy working with young pets as they learn and helping senior pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is always to provide the same level of attention, patience, and love that I would want for my own pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely four days a week with a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I am able to accommodate a pet’s normal routine, whether that includes letting dogs outside for breaks, taking them on a midday walk, providing playtime, or simply spending time with them while they relax. I enjoy creating a consistent and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific instructions. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar environments, so I focus on providing consistent care, attention, and companionship while respecting the owner’s home. For each pet, I take time to understand their personality and needs, whether they are energetic and playful, shy and independent, or require extra patience and care. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’m a proud dog dad to Rambo, my Golden Retriever, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. Raising him has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training, leash manners, and all the attention and care that comes with being a dog owner. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors, including dogs that can be reactive in certain situations. This has taught me to be patient, pay close attention to body language, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and adapt my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and constant playtime, while others prefer their space and a calmer environment. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the same way I’d want someone to treat Rambo—with patience, attention, care, and plenty of love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine with Rambo, my Golden Retriever. My days already include walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of time dedicated to him, so caring for another pet fits naturally into my schedule. I’m also flexible and can plan around your pet’s routine and needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and I always make sure they’re introduced safely and comfortably to Rambo.

About: I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet because they're family. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I'm attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets who require a little extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care I provide. I don't just stop by to check a box, I spend quality time with your pet, making sure they feel happy, exercised, and cared for. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every animal as if they were my own. I work remotely from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I have a lot of flexibility in my workday, I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of companionship instead of leaving pets alone for long stretches. I genuinely enjoy having animals around, they make my days better! Whether your pet loves to play, go on adventures, or simply curl up next to someone while they work, they'll have plenty of company and care. My schedule also allows me to be responsive to your pet's individual routine and provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for while you're away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In my home, pets have a calm, quiet environment with plenty of one-on-one attention since I don't have any pets of my own. I work remotely, so they're never left alone and can enjoy frequent potty breaks, playtime, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also live just a five-minute walk from a beautiful trail, making it easy to provide regular walks, fresh air, and exercise tailored to your pet's energy level.

“Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! She took such great care of him, made sure he got plenty of walks and playtime, and kept me updated throughout the day with thoughtful messages and photos. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved in her care. Her communication was excellent and gave me complete peace of mind. I would 100% trust Catherine again and will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend!”

“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!”
