Doggy Day Care in Occoquan

“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I’ve owned breeds with bold personalities, including my current Airedale Terrier, Elvis, who definitely keeps things lively. My Scottish Terrier, Scarlett, was one of the best dogs I’ve ever had—loyal, loving, and full of charm. While I don’t offer in-home boarding due to having young children, I specialize in reliable drop-in visits and dog walks. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk to burn off some energy, or some companionship while you're away, I provide thoughtful, personalized care tailored to their needs. I’m calm, patient, and tuned in to what each dog needs to feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family and always provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I’m already used to structured walks, feeding schedules, and giving dogs the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits and walks. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and comfortable. I understand that dogs feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I follow your instructions closely to make sure things like feeding, walks, and playtime happen just the way your pet expects. I always check that doors and gates are secure, make sure your pet has fresh water, and keep a close eye on their behavior and energy during each visit. Whether it’s a slow-paced walk for a senior dog or a game of fetch in the yard, I take the time to meet your pet’s specific needs. Trust and communication are important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.

I used to have three Siberian huskies, and am comfortable with active, large dogs as well as small dogs.

I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and loved. I am available during the weekdays and most weekends to maximize time spent with your loved ones. For doggy daycare, I will be onsite most of the day, leaving for errands (when required) no more than 30 min at a time. I can ensure multiple potty breaks during the day, offer playtime, and walks for exercise. For house sitting I can guarantee large chunks of time (up to 2 hours) during a visit, up to four times a day including a late night check-in (as late as 10pm) and early morning check-in (as early as 6am) but typically do not stay full time or overnight. Willing to discount house sitting pricing for multiple animals in the home. For boarding I will be onsite most of the day, but could be gone up to four hours at a time on occasion.

I also have a safe space for cat boarding and other pets that need to be keep separate.

“Sara, her partner and fur babies all did a great job welcoming my senior dog into their home. She responded quickly to my holiday request for daycare and was very flexible with scheduling. She asked follow-up questions on his profile info and made every accommodation to ensure he was safe and happy during his stay.”

About: I have had a passion and love for taking care of pets since I was a little girl. In my adult life, I still carry on this passion greatly. In the last 20 years, I have a puppy who 2 years old. She is so well behaved and loves playing with other dogs! Because of this, I have a lot of understanding with dogs and their natural behaviors! I have also had some experience taking care of pets for my friends and family! It’s safe to say that you can call me the dog whisperer. I am currently a teacher working from home. Therefore, I am pretty much available everyday to take care of your precious doggies. I am very flexible! During the covid 19 pandemic, my family and I are being very cautious, following social distancing guidelines and taking all the necessary precautions to ensure health and safety! I have a large fenced backyard where your dog can play, two individual crates if the dog needs to be crated, and my wonderful 2 year old dog to keep your furry friend company! I take our pup for a walk at least twice a day. Therefore, if your doggy needs a walk we can surely take them. Taking care of pets is a natural thing for me. I can always find time to take care of them. I plans ahead of time to fit the next day to accommodate my chores, work and pets needs. I make sure to always watch the dogs that I watch and supervise play, as well as make sure they receive all the attention and care that they need. I will treat your furry friend like a family member!

“Jen is kind and caring about the dogs she sits. Her older dog and Bella do well together. So does the other dog who is also older than Bella. And she has enough indoor space and outdoors on deck and grass for the dogs to have variety in their surroundings. She also walks them 2 or 3 times a day, another plus. And her doggie healthy biscuits that she bakes has Bella begging for more!!”

I’ve personally trained both of them with patience and consistency. I also foster puppies and all sorts of rescue dogs, helping them grow in confidence and basic training until they find forever homes.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine, whether it’s morning walks, medication for my senior dog, training sessions, or just being around for comfort and snuggles. I’ve built my day around their needs because it matters to me that they feel safe, cared for, and understood In my home, dogs are treated like family. I have a fully fenced yard for outdoor time, a crate available if needed and the pups want their alone time, and my dogs are always welcome on the furniture and so are yours!t I keep a calm, clean, and dog-friendly environment where routines are followed and safety comes first.

Having cared for my own senior dog with special needs, I’m experienced in administering vaccines and injections, ensuring pets get the medical attention they require.

They get frequent outdoor breaks throughout the day and longer walks in the early morning and evening. My home offers a cozy, structured environment where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. Between cuddle breaks on the floor and engaging playtime, I ensure pets receive plenty of attention and enrichment. I also incorporate mental stimulation through puzzle toys, training reinforcement, and interactive games. When I step out, I crate pets to keep them safe and comfortable. Whether it's an energetic pup needing extra exercise or a senior pet who prefers a slower pace, I tailor their care to fit their needs while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Creating a safe, loving, and structured environment is my top priority. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, the pets I watch receive my undivided attention. They have plenty of space to explore in my home and can rest comfortably in my home office, where I can keep a close eye on them.

Whether I'm watching pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a stress-free, engaging, and loving experience tailored to their unique needs.

“Dana was so sweet and took such great care of Thor. I felt at ease when I left him because he ran to her right away and she welcomed him with open arms. I think puppies are just like babies, they can sense when they are loved by how we embrace them. It made me so much as ease knowing that he wasn’t going to be crated the entire time. Thank you so so much, Dana!!!”
