Doggy Day Care in Landmark-Van Dom, Alexandria, VA

About: I’ve had pets all my life: dogs and cats. I’ve saved multiple homeless dogs and cats and have a huge passion for caring for animals. I am available on a short notice and 7 days a week! Pretty much any time morning-day-evening works for me. Just give me a ring and we will a day and time that works for all of us. I have a small fenced yard. I have cats in the house but can isolate them if needed. I prefer cat friendly dogs for boarding but I can make myself available for pretty much any pet caring needs.

“They are absolutely amazing. Piper had such a great time with them in Maverick.I would recommend them to anyone and will be one of my first choices for any future booking needs!!”

“Lucy had a fun day with Russ and the two resident dogs. She loved being outside in the yard. Russ was easy to work with and very accommodating even when I had unexpected delays. Lucy can’t wait to come back!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had rescue dogs and cats most of my life. My current furry children are Roscoe, a 13-lb terrier mix, and Onyx, my sweet senior cat—both rescues with big personalities. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for years, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and fostered, so I’m especially comfortable with rescue pets who might need a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, slow introductions, or a consistent routine, I try to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Happy to chat or answer any questions! Since I work from home full-time, I’m around throughout the day to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and snuggles. My daily routine is pretty calm and consistent—perfect for dogs who enjoy a steady environment and regular companionship. Walks, meals, and downtime all fit easily into my schedule. I do occasionally travel for work, but I always block off my calendar during those times so there’s no overlap or surprises. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I offer a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of human company (since I work from home) and a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I only take a limited number of pets at once so I can give each one the attention and care they deserve. I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks, and I always keep dogs leashed unless we’re in the secure yard. I’m very mindful of introductions with my own pets—Roscoe is friendly and used to sharing his space, and my senior cat Onyx knows how to keep to herself. Whether it’s sticking to your pet’s usual routine, giving medications, or just offering a cozy space to relax, I do everything I can to help animals feel safe, settled, and loved while you’re away.

“Haley and Chris are amazing! They treated baxter great and took him on walks. Baxter loved their dog too! We definitely will continue to use them!”

“Nicole was so great! My little Onyx can be a very anxious dog, so I was very nervous about leaving him with a sitter. Nicole was able to make Onyx feel right at home and he was playing with her children and two dogs within a couple hours of me leaving. I was really happy that Nicole kept me updated throughout the day with really cute photos and videos. Overall, Onyx had a really great first experience with Rover daycare. ? I highly recommend Nicole! 5 out of 5 stars!”

“Gwyn was absolutely wonderful with my pug, Plum! From the moment we arrived, Gwyn and her sweet golden retriever, Sailor, made Plum feel right at home. I could tell right away that Plum was in great hands—Gwyn was warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Throughout the day, she sent updates and photos that showed Plum having the best time playing, exploring, and snuggling. It’s always nerve-wracking leaving your pup with someone new, but Gwyn made it so easy to feel confident and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again (we actually already have!)—Plum came home happy, calm, and tired from a full day of fun! Highly recommend Gwyn for anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”

“Amanda is an excellent dog sitter! She sent me updates often of how my pup is doing and was very responsive. Will be using her again in the future!”

Emily G.

“Sweta is the best! My dog has stayed with her a few times so far, and she takes care of him SO well with walks, playtime, and cuddles. I get updates throughout the day, and now when I drop my dog off, he just runs to Sweta and doesn’t even look back (lol). I’m so grateful to be able to rely on her. 10000% recommend!”

About: With years of experience in dog sitting, including specific expertise in caring for elderly dogs and administering medication, I offer a nurturing environment for your fur baby. I work from home in a small, cozy residence that includes access to a nearby dog park. Your dog will enjoy long walks, playtime, and free-range freedom in a loving setting. I started this business because, after losing my own dog, I deeply miss the joy and comfort that a dog brings. I’m not ready to get another pet just yet, so I’m dedicated to providing the same care and affection to your beloved pets. Your dog will receive personalized attention and a comforting presence while you're away. My schedule is very flexible. Working from home allows me to set my own hours and breaks. I have the ability to work around your dogs schedule. I allow your pets to have free range around my home. They are allowed to jump on furniture just as long as they are groomed and clean before their stay.

“Asia has been amazing. She is very flexible with her doggy daycare scheduling, and is awesome with animals. Carmelo, my dog, loves going there, he loves playing with her dogs and the other dogs. He loves running and playing in her large backyard, a plus for us, since we reside in a condo. Carmelo has been going for two months, I feel at ease when he's there. Asia sends me pictures and responds to me in a timely manner. I highly recommend her doggy daycare.”

“First time using Rover and it was a great experience. We are an active military family on our way to Germany so to say the least we have been stressed in moving over with 2 kids and a newly certified Service Dog. Betty was amazing with accommodating Bodhi in a pinch since part of our errands would be asking too much of Bodhi to be in working mode. Instead of spending the day being bored under desks, he got to play with Betty and Leia and came home tires and happy. We really couldn't have landed a better choice with Betty and she kept me updated with pictures throughout his stay. If we weren't moving overseas, he'd be back?”

“Alador was amazing with my dog Tundra has a hard time being away from me and being in a new place but she did great and he sent lots of pictures and updates! He will definitely be our go to sitter! I highly recommend Alador he will put your mind at ease leaving your fur children in his care!”

“Maggie May loved doggie day care with Vincent. He is such a caring sitter. He has a beautiful fenced yard where Maggie May exercised with Pearl (Vincent’s dog). She was very sweet with Maggie May as well. I would highly recommend that your pet stays with Vincent and his adorable family.”
