Doggy Day Care Fairlington-Shirlington

“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

“Corina was great! Really responsive and great to work with. She took great care of our dog Nina. Sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. She took Nina out on several walks during the day and even worked on training her new tricks. My dog just loved her and I can tell she was well taken care of.”

“I always know a good dog sitter when we are on our way and Moxie starts getting all excited in the car when we are about half a mile away and she's figured out where we're going. I love to see that. It makes me happy to see her so happy. Thank you again! I definitely recommend Yulia and Ken. They have a great yard and a wonderful dogs they care for. Moxie loves it so that means I love it!”

“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience, flexibility, and genuine love for dogs, which even inspired two friends to become dog lovers and get pets of their own! I work from home, allowing me to provide consistent attention and customized care. With a fenced dog park at my place and easy access to Shirlington Dog Park, I ensure every dog has a safe and engaging environment for play and exercise. Over the years, I’ve been a reliable and loving dog sitter for many friends, caring for their pets from a few hours to week-long stays. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a variety of dogs, including my black and tan coonhound, an elderly greyhound, an energetic golden retriever, Pitbull Boxer and a big, bold Shar Pei-Rottweiler mix. My approach is shaped by my experience rehabilitating a once out-of-control rescue dog, who, with patience and love, became a wonderful companion and backpacking partner. Whether it’s managing high-energy dogs or providing a gentle hand to senior pets, I create a nurturing and fun environment where every dog feels truly at home. As an entrepreneur who works from home, I have the flexibility to build my schedule around pet care, ensuring your dog’s needs are a top priority. I’m highly responsible and reliable, with the ability to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. My home includes a fenced dog park, providing a secure area for playtime, and I also live near Shirlington Dog Park, perfect for extended outings and socialization with other dogs. I enjoy hiking and being active for dogs that might need more exercise. I’m dedicated to creating a safe, enjoyable environment, so you can feel confident that your dog is in great hands while you’re away. In my home, I ensure that each pet feels comfortable, safe, and engaged. I provide plenty of playtime and exercise, including visits to the fenced dog park at my place and longer outings at nearby Shirlington Dog Park. I follow each pet’s specific routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to any special care instructions. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s usual environment and routine, helping them feel secure while their owners are away. I’m attentive to every detail, keeping the space clean, following any house rules, and providing consistent updates so owners can feel reassured. My goal in both settings is to offer a reliable, caring experience that pets enjoy and owners trust.

“Cynthia was very patient, accommodating and knowledgable to my senior gal. She gave my pup a safe and fun day of meeting new friends and getting lots of mental stimulation as a senior gal needs.”

Julie S.

“Jennifer was wonderful with Belle! Usually Belle is a bit apprehensive, but she warmed up from the start. Jennifer was very reassuring and attentive. She took Belle for multiple walks and kept me updated on her progress. She had a ton of toys, which Belle loved. I would definitely use her again.”

Larissa M.

“Esther and her husband took such good care of Riley. They were patience with him and allow him.to explore and get comfortable. They sent me a video mid morning to let me see how he was doing. I will definitely use them again and soon! Thank you for caring for my fur baby the same way I would.”

About: Ensuring the very best for our furry friends is simply part of my DNA. Born and raised in the Netherlands around dog trainers, I have 25+ years of experience in all types of pet care (medications, behavior, maintenance). Navigating the deep loss of my own beloved dog in spring 2025, has only strengthened my empathy for the bond you share with your pets and the trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I've recently transitioned from full-time dog walking and sitting to a corporate role, and offer pet care around that schedule. With two days a week working from home and my office just 10 minutes away, it's easy for me to drop in for a midday potty break or quick check-in. As a dog walker on Rover, I bring the same level of love and dedication to caring for your pets that I brought to my own. Whether it’s a brisk walk to burn off some energy, a leisurely stroll to explore new scents, or simply providing companionship, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness remain the focus. Therefore, at my house or yours, I commit to only care for animals from one family at a time. I make sure your pets have a calm environment and my full attention, adjusting routines and communication to match your preferences so you always feel informed and at ease. With a structured work schedule, nearby office, and a genuine love for animals, I am here to offer reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet services that fit realistically with my corporate life. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends and giving them the same care and respect they receive at home. I work 2 days remote and 3 days in office which is only 10min away, so I'll have plenty of time for your pup!! X I have a fenced yard, 4Mile Run Park at walking distance and no stairs in my apartment. I can easily crate your dog if desired and have tile flooring for easy cleanup.
