Pet care experience

Welcome to the Pack!

Hey, I’m Sef! 👋🏾 I’m a lifelong dog lover plus the proud dad of a Maltipoo who keeps me on my toes every day. I grew up caring for dogs, had my family dog by my side all through college, and now I channel all of that experience into providing premium, personalized care for your pup. When your dog stays with me, they’re not just being watched — they’re getting a fully tailored boarding experience designed around their needs, personality, and routine. 🏡 The Stay Your dog gets the comfort of a real home — not a kennel, not a cage, not a loud facility. My place in College Park is tucked in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood right off 495 making drop-off and pick-up a breeze from anywhere in the DMV. For anxious or reactive dogs, the calm environment makes all the difference compared to a traditional boarding facility. 🐾 Daily Enrichment, Not Just Supervision Every stay includes structured daily routines built around your dog’s energy level — walks, play sessions, enrichment activities, frozen treats, and mental stimulation throughout the day. We’re within walking distance of multiple local dog parks where I take small, carefully selected groups so your dog gets safe, controlled socialization. And with Law as a built-in buddy, your dog will never be bored or lonely. 🧠 Training Reinforcement Included I don’t just watch your dog — I actively reinforce commands, leash manners, and house training during their stay. Most boarding facilities let habits slip. Here, your dog comes home better than when they arrived. 💊 Special Needs & Medical Care Medication administration, dietary restrictions, vet instructions — I handle it all with care and precision. You can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in qualified hands for any situation. 🐶 Puppy Package Got a new pup? I offer puppy rearing support including crate training, potty training reinforcement, bite inhibition, and socialization — giving your puppy a head start while you’re away. ✂️ Nail trims and washes also available upon request 📸 Peace of Mind, Always You’ll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your dog’s stay so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

Yosef was absolutely amazing!!! He sent me daily videos of my baby. His communication was top tier. The pick up and drop off process was seamless. I was so nervous as this was Bentley’s first time being watched by a stranger and Yosef made me feel extremely comfortable and kept my anxiety at bay. Bentley had a blast interacting with the other dogs and even found himself a crush in Luna lol. I will definitely be booking again.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 26, 2026

This was my first Rovr daysitter arrangement. Yosef was quick to reply to my request for an 9AM to 9PM sitter date on short notice. I was driving into College Park for an event from 90 minutes away. I messaged when I left with an estimated time of arrival aligning with our agreed scheduled time. When I arrived and knocked, nobody initially answered the door, but I could hear 2 dogs barking. I began to call Yosef when he answered the door. Yosef was very nice and receptive to the care I was asking for Lax. I had already walked Lax for the day and I only really needed for someone to be his companion, let him out to go to the bathroom, and feed him dinner. Yosef sent pictures and a video along with messages throughout the day letting me know Lax was adjusting to the other dogs and finding comfy spots to chill. When I arrived to pick Lax up, I could see through the window Lax had found his companion in Yosef and Lax was laying at the top of the steps with Yosef just a few feet away. I got to meet Law, Yosef’s dog (I expected him to be about the same size as Lax, but I would say he is closer to a medium height dog), and another clients dog. They were very friendly and well behaved while I was there.

Yosef is a great choice! My dog Francis loves going to visit him and the pack. Francis always comes home confident and relaxed, and I get to breathe and chill when i get home knowing he had a fun filled day.
