Doggy Day Care Foggy Bottom

“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”

“Vanessa is great to work with! She’s super prompt and friendly. She was amazing to our puppy Remi. She had dog toys for a Remi to play with and did a great job of sending us photos / updates throughout the day!”

“Izzy and Brian are fantastic sitters. Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, which is great for day trips (esp if we hit bad traffic or end up leaving later than originally planned). They send photos and videos regularly! Dzov LOVES his friend Jax and Ziggy and is always pooped out from playing so hard with those two all day. They're always my first go-to for day care/overnight stays because they're reliable, friendly, and can handle my big doggo!”

“Marta took great care of Uni, who was understandably anxious as this was his first doggy day care experience! She’s very accommodating of my schedule change and responded promptly to my messages. Thanks Marta :)”

“Sung was amazing! She took care of our dog on a very, very last minute request. Communication was amazing. Sung sent updates and pictures throughout the day. Our dog came back very happy!”

About: I’ve cared for pets ever since I was a child. Most recently, I cared for a hound dog for 7 years and currently going on 4 years caring for a cat. I trained my dog who had no exposure to cats prior to me adopting one. They ended up living harmonious together. I go above and beyond, even finding joint exercises and massages for a senior dog I had as he was aging. I see pets as family, especially having no children, so I’d love to make myself available for those in need of caretaking because I have the capacity. I’m currently flexible when it comes to pet care as I am self employed working from home. I can easily adjust to the owners pet schedule because of the flexibility of my daily and weekly routine. There are many dog parks, trails, and walkable areas where I live in the DuPont neighborhood within the DC metro area. Depending on what your pet is used to, luckily there are many amenities within proximity that may fit their typical routine and lifestyle.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up with my family in El Salvador, so taking care of dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Back home, I have two Schnauzers who are my favorite little partners ever. I’ve had plenty of experience feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. Even though they are currently in El Salvador with my family, being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I would care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student at GWU, and I’m usually only away from home for about four hours a day, so I have lots of time to give your pup attention and keep them company. My roommate is also around often, and we both absolutely love dogs, so your pup will get plenty of cuddles, playtime, walks, and love while staying with us I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and will always make sure they have a clean, calm, and caring environment.

“Mac is one of Peanut’s favorite people! Peanut loves her visits, and we love knowing Peanut is happy and safe. Mac communicates well leading up to Peanut’s visits and during. Highly recommend!”

“Vernon took lovely care of our boy! He was communicative, timely and flexible. He took our request at the last minute and adjusted to our schedule. He is efficient and I could tell that our boy had a good time. This was our first time using Rover and he gave us the peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again!”

“Aubrey accommodated a very last minute request to watch our pup. She had excellent communication and took great care of our dog who had injured her back and was on medication. Would definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I adopted a dog during the pandemic and share a cat with my husband. I grew up on a farm and would watch and care for the neighbors' animals while they were on vacation. I've been working on Rover for two years. I'm looking forward to meeting your pets and giving you some peace of mind while you're at work or on vacation. I work remotely, so I am available for housesitting, walks, and drop-ins as needed. Happy to make my schedule fit with yours! I work remotely and am available to house sit and do walks/drop ins if you live in Shaw. I am excited to talk and learn more about your animals! Please see the pet care experience section. The too long didn't read version: safety first. I love animals and treat them like my own family.

“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!”

Alyssa R.

“Sara was flexible in making arrangements for us to drop off and pick-up Charlie, and was diligent in sending photos of her stay throughout the day. This was the first time that we had used a sitter for Charlie, and we found the experience to be a good one. We plan on using Sara's services again in the future,”

“Asma is great! We had a nice meet and greet and Lulu has an awesome day with her. Asma was communicative and sent really cute photos throughout the day. Lulu the dog approved!!”

About: I've been a dog person my whole life. Our family has shared our home with everything from standard poodles to an American Eskimo, so I've handled big personalities, high-maintenance coats, smart dogs who need a job, and gentle seniors who need patience and a soft place to land. We recently lost our beloved standard poodle, and while we're not ready for another dog of our own yet, we have a lot of love with nowhere to go. We'd be thrilled to pour it into yours. Your dog will be our only pet, which means undivided attention: no competing for the couch, the yard, or the treats. Speaking of the yard, it's fully enclosed, so there's plenty of room to sniff, play, and stretch out safely, and we're an easy walk from a nearby park for longer outings. Our home also includes a dog-adoring 7-year-old who has grown up around dogs and knows how to be calm and respectful with them, and all interactions are supervised. By day I run a national nonprofit (from our home), so I'm organized, responsive, and used to being trusted with things that matter to other people. You'll get prompt replies, photo updates, and a sitter who actually follows your instructions, whether that's a medication schedule, a specific feeding routine, or a nightly belly rub quota. I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. My day has a natural rhythm that suits most dogs: a morning walk or yard time before I start work, a midday break for a potty trip and some play, and a longer walk to the park in the late afternoon once the workday winds down. In between, your dog is welcome to nap at my feet, keep an eye on the squirrels from the window, or supervise my Zoom calls. Evenings and weekends are family time, which means more play, more attention, and more couch cuddles. I'm happy to follow your dog's existing schedule for meals, medications, and bedtime, since I know routine is what helps most dogs settle into a new place quickly. Your dog's safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a fully enclosed yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and we're a short walk from several parks for longer outings, always on leash unless you've told me otherwise. I do a quick check of gates and latches before every outing, and dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside, your dog has the run of our home and is welcome on the furniture unless you'd prefer they stay off. We've never crated our own dogs, but if a crate is what makes your pup feel safe and settled, I'm happy to use one. Just bring it along with their bed, food, and anything else that smells like home.

“Holly was absolutely amazing with Stella! Stella can be incredibly nervous in new environments, but Holly showed so much patience and gentle care to help her settle in. She truly went above and beyond to make Stella feel safe, comfortable, and loved. It is incredible to find someone who understands anxious dogs so well. We would definitely be booking with Holly again when we are in town—highly recommend!”

“Jessica has watched and boarded my dog Bodhi for me many times. She has been absolutely wonderful with Bodhi, and you can tell she loves him like he’s part of her family. Bodhi and her dog Poppy get along wonderfully , and have become little besties. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly very experienced with dogs. I really appreciate that she goes the extra mile by sending me pictures, videos and updates when she is in his care. It is obvious that Jessica genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Bodhi is always happy and well cared for, and I feel completely comfortable knowing he’s in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate sitter or dog walker!”

About: I have two baby Cavaliers that I love with all my heart. ❤️ Love giving them attention, cuddles, walks and playtime. I will treat your dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and very loved while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, I work from home and can easily make time for walks, playtime, cuddles and lots of attention throughout the day. I live in a house with plenty of space and a fenced-in backyard where they can safely run around and play. I can also crate your dog if needed or if that’s part of their normal routine. I’m also a little bit of a helicopter dog mom 😂 so I’m always keeping an eye on them and making sure they’re safe. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and follow any instructions you might have
