Doggy Day Care in Long Branch Creek, Arlington, VA

“Evie was available short notice to watch our pup Mocha while we moved into a new home. Thanks to her flexibility we were able to focus on moving and knew that Mocha was cared for and getting all the attention and exercise she needs. At 10 months, she’s a wrecking ball and can be very mouthy. Despite Mocha being extra bitey and not really napping or eating, Evie was patient and upbeat and they were still able to have fun and enjoy each others company. She was ver responsive and took everything I said into consideration and followed our wishes when it came to keeping Mocha separate from other dogs and crating her to see if she would nap. I would absolutely book again with Evie.”

“My 5lb dog has some anxiety and I worry about leaving her, but after meeting Jennifer I had no concerns. Her dog, Louie, was a sweetheart and they both took great care of Poppy for the day!”

“Kathryn was great with Jasper. He played with her dog and had a nice walk. Probably got a bit spoiled as well. Definitely will be using Kathryn again in the near future.”

“Luciana was amazing with our puppy! Communication was excellent, she sent videos and updates during the stay. My dog loved her and was happy to meet her. I will definitely book again.”

“Paige was wonderful with my foster dog. Lizzie is a very nervous pup, and Paige made her feel 100% at home.”

“Donna rescued her bassett hound Lucy eight years ago. She and Lucy shared the best life - long walks with lots of sniffs, loving belly rubs and naps on the couch. Donna gave Lucy the best care, from a young pup to a senior dog. Donna is a true dog lover, and now that Lucy lives on in her heart, you can be sure your dog will be in patient, kind and good hands during their stay.”

“Iulia is absolutely awesome! My dog, Zeta stayed with Iulia these past two weeks and came home a happy and tired hound. Iulia is professional, has an appropriate business structure with a great play area for the dogs both inside and out. Her process is reassuring, she is reliable and a genuinely great person who takes her doggy day care seriously. Highly recommend!”

“Because of Helen and her lovely Bella who was almost 15 when she crossed the rainbow bridge, we decided to get a golden retriever who we named Croissant. Helen is absolutely amazing with him - a bonus auntie! She is so loving and cares for him as her own. She always goes the extra mile whether it's taking him on long walks, Pet Smart, or the dog park out of the kindness of her heart. Helen always gives Croissant lots of love and reinforces training when she's taking care of him. She enjoys being with him and always offers to dog-sit whenever we need. We also see how happy he gets when we drop him off, which shows how much he loves being with Helen. We wouldn't trust Croissant with anyone else as much as we trust Helen, the best dog mom out there. Thank you, Helen!”

About: My life changed completely when we rescued our dog Stella 8 years ago. My husband is a life time dog owner. Together we have many years of experience taking care of dogs for family, neighbors and friends. I work from home on a fully remote job, so I have the time and flexibility to spend time with your dog while staying with us. We are both communicative and easy going so we can easily adapt and adjust to your needs and schedule and be your dog’s home away from home. I have a 100% remote job and my husband works from home four days per week which allows us to have the time and flexibility to take care of your dog and be attentive to what they need. We live in front of a big park (with dog park included) which makes take your dog on lots of walk easy and convenient. For boarding and daycare, we can cover whatever is better for your dog’s routine when it comes to walks, potty breaks, feeding them, playing with them and other specific requests. We live in first floor large two bedroom apartment with enough space to accommodate your dog and our dog Stella, who is used to having other dogs around and living with them. We’ll be attentive to any dietary needs, medications, precautions or other special instructions to keep your dog happy and safe.

“I was in a bind looking for daycare for my girl, Maisy, and Walker and Brennan agreed to watch her fairly last minute. They took great care of her and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures of her having a blast running around in the backyard and hanging out with their dog, Dolly. Maisy very clearly had such a fun day and appeared to be comfortable in their home with a huge smile on her face when I came to pick her up. She has been fast asleep ever since we got home! Their dog, Dolly, is also an absolute sweetheart and greeted Maisy as if they were already friends, despite them never having met before. I would definitely recommend Walker and Brennan to others :)”

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs for my whole life. I’ve raised puppies and helped my own senior dog manage diabetes. I know how to recognize discomfort and anxiety and more importantly I know how to find a solution to make pets feel more comfortable. Right now I work from home with a very flexible work/life balance and schedule. For me, taking care of pets is a way of making sure I get out of the house and connect with my neighbors, so I’m happy to do it whenever I can! I have worked with many dogs with different needs, from separation anxiety to illness to acute diseases like an ear infection. I pride myself on my ability to notice the needs of pets and work to make them comfortable and happy. I’ll work with you to make sure I know where everything your pet needs is- including treats, medicine, emergency contacts, their favorite toy, and something that smells like you that can comfort them if they’re missing you extra. And if all else fails, I’ll communicate with you to find a solution to make sure your pet is happy.

“Yeni and Elliot were both great and very attentive to our puppy’s needs. Their dog was very friendly and played really well with our puppy, and she came home both days very happy and relaxed. Yeni and Elliot communicated throughout the day and filled us in on how the day went when we picked our puppy up. We’re very happy with their service!”

“Natalie did very well with sitting my dog and made me feel more than comfortable. Finding a sitter for such a huge dog can be a little difficult but she made it seem so easy. She kept me updated with messages and pictures and managed to take him on SEVERAL walks. Thank you so much”

“You were awesome with Andi. Thank you so much!”

“Elena was a fantastic sitter! She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and it really seemed like our pup enjoyed her time there! I’d 100% book again!”

“Another fantastic stay with Bergit! She is absolutely wonderful with communication and our pup enjoyed every minute of her stay with walks, cuddles, and playtime. We’ll definitely book again. Thank you Bergit and happy holidays!”

“Mel was fantastic with our shy puppy! Her facilities were well organized with care and cleanly. She was extremely kind and a true dog lover! Our pup came home very happy. There's an outdoor area for the pups to play, indoor area, crates as needed. We will be returning again!”

“Zorrie had a splendid time at Jade's place. Plenty of playtime and couch naps and treats. Will definitely use this service again.”

“Squishy had an incredible time with Rebecca and Luna! I got pictures throughout the day, updates, and Squish looked so so happy. Will 100% be requesting her in the future!”

“I’ve known Paul for about 20 years. He is a man of his word and he does what he says. He has been a pet owner and I’ve seen first hand how he cares for his dog. He was kind and attentive to my dog when I had him. I have no doubt that if you leave your pet in Paul’s care- your pet will be in the best hands!”
