Top rated Friendship Heights doggy day care sitters
“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!”
“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”
“Taurus was great. Highly recommend. He’s communicative throughout the process. He suggested and then we easily arranged a meet and greet before he sat the dog. Great service”
“This review is actually long overdue! I moved down to DC last year from NYC, and I was so overwhelmed with relocating and finding a sitter that I could trust with the most precious thing in my life (my pup Jax). I am so thankful to have found Lenny and his family! They have always cared for Jax as if he was their own. I can tell at the end of each day Jax had a happy fun-filled time, and isn’t that what we all want for our pups... to give them the best life possible. Seeing Rover pictures of Jax “living his best life” truly brightens up my work day. Lastly, I appreciate how thoughtful and understanding Lenny is to my essential work schedule, especially during this COVID-19 crisis. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Lenny, Kate, and their daughters. I guess, I say all this to say, I highly recommend Lenny and his family!”
“My doggie had a wonderful time with Asma and her pooch Mica! She was super considerate of his idiosyncrasies, and planned out a wonderful, well balanced, day care day for him.”
“Brianne was absolutely amazing with Chai! She kept me consistently updated throughout the day with details about Chai’s walks, feeding times, and overall behavior, which gave me so much peace of mind. The pictures she sent were the highlight of my day — it was clear that Chai was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It really seemed like she enjoyed her time at daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be booking with Brianne again!”
“Chaufa my puppy had a very peaceful stay with Pat! Highly recommend for any traveler to DC. I was visiting for one day for work and Pat took good care of my puppy while at work and running errands. 5 stars!”
“When we arrived to drop our dog off with Michael for the second time, she leapt and cried with joy to see him. That's how happy she is spending time w him. We couldn't be happier. Thank you, Michael!”
“Andy is so responsive and easy to book. He exudes kindness and clearly loves dogs. My puppy went right to him and was happy to return again the next day. Coordinating pick up and drop off was a breeze and he sent lots of photos and updates. It’s clear why he has so many great reviews. I look forward to using him again soon!”
“Your dog will be in great hands. I can’t recommend Johanna enough. I don’t usually leave my dog with people he doesn’t know so I was quite nervous, but she made us both feel very at ease! Johanna even played classical music for him. Amazing dog sitter!”
“First time using Rover and I was hesitant, but Dana exceeded my expectations! She suggested a meet and greet at her house and not only is she warm and personable, but she has the perfect backyard to play in. Klay's first week with Dana was a success! He was sad to part with her at the end of day 1 and knew her name by day 2 ?. What I appreciate most is that she's extremely reliable, professional, and has a genuine love of dogs. Thank you Dana for being responsive to every text and always giving me a good report at the end of every visit. We highly recommend Dana and have already rebooked with her! 5 paws rating ??????”
