Doggy Day Care in Olney

“Gracie was wonderful with my dog! She took him in for daycare two days, back to back. On the first day, the minute I left him he was crying because he didn't want me to leave - and on the second day, he ran towards her wagging his tail, happy as can be! Will definitely be booking her in the future!”

“Shadid is amazing! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my puppy, Rudy, with someone else. From the moment we met Shadid, she was great with Rudy. I was concerned about Rudy getting anxious and being difficult to manage. I realized quickly that I had nothing to worry about with Shadid. Rudy was immediately comfortable with her. I don’t think he even noticed me leave because he was so excited to hang out with Shadid & Pebbles all day. Throughout the day, I received pictures of Rudy at the park and playing. It felt great knowing that Rudy was in good hands and having an amazing day. When I picked Rudy up, he was sad to leave! Rudy can be challenging and usually takes a while to warm up to people, so I was extremely impressed by Shadid’s ability to care for dogs. I would absolutely be comfortable leaving Rudy with Shadid again and am so grateful that I found her. If you love your dog and don’t know which sitter will be best, contact Shadid!! Your dog will have the best day and you’ll feel great knowing he/she is in good hands! From a professional standpoint, Shadid is excellent. I’m in medical school and was taking an exam during Rudy’s stay, so it was important to me that the sitter be professional. Shadid was perfect. She responds quickly and is completely reliable. I strongly recommend her!”

“My doggos had a great time and were thoughtfully exhausted at the end. Robyn was also super flexible and understanding of my changing drop off timeline”

“Lillian and her son were great with my two pups! Especially since one of my dogs is just a small puppy and needs a lot of attention. They came home worn out and ready for a nap! Thanks for caring for Yogi and Cannoli!”

“Lauren was great with Osito! She was very responsive and had great communication. She sent all the pics and updates as requested and took such great care of Osito. Osito even made himself right at home. We will definitely be rebooking!”

“I am so happy I found Laura! My senior pup has separation anxiety since her twin sister passed away, but she is really relaxed when she’s at Laura’s. Being around my dog soothes my anxiety, so when I have to be away from her, getting pictures is really nice. Couldn’t recommend Laura enough!”

“Krista and Roger are our wonderful neighbors, and we recently started using them for occasional daycare for our dog, Grover. Grover loves spending time with Shyloh and their whole family. Krista’s incredibly responsive to my requests and any questions I have. We know Grover’s safe and loved when he visits Krista and Roger’s home!”

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life. Always loved them and loved taking care of them. From puppies to brown dogs, i’ve seen it all. I work and do school remote from home so pet care fits perfect. Taking care of dogs will get me more active and I love a good walk or jog. I treat each pet as if they are my own. With the same love and care I give my dog. Once they come to me they are home.

“Such a wonderful experience for my Lassa Apso!! When I tell Peaches she is going to see Katelyn and play with her she gets sooo excited!😊”

Helen C.

“I was a bit nervous leaving Lexa after an unpleasant previous experience with a Rover stay, but Jeannie was wonderful! She took my very active husky on several walks, but was conscious of the hot weather and kept them short. I received a bunch of pictures and updates, which kept me calm. She has a very calm demeanor that allowed my dog to relax and just hang out. I will definitely be rebooking!!”

“Josh and Andres are amazing! We have a two year old GSP who can be really nervous towards strangers (Covid puppy) and they did everything to make us and our pup comfortable. They sent us multiple pictures while our pup was at daycare with them, and our GSP seemed like he had such a great time! We’ll definitely be bringing him to them more often.”

About: As a dog trainer, prioritizing safety with dogs and building trust with their owners is fundamental to creating a successful and positive training experience. Safety ensures the physical and emotional well-being of the dogs, while trust with owners fosters confidence in your methods and strengthens the partnership needed for effective training outcomes. **Safety with Dogs**: Safety is the cornerstone of any responsible dog training program. By creating a secure environment, you minimize risks of injury or stress for the dogs. This involves using positive reinforcement techniques, such as reward-based training, to encourage desired behaviors without causing fear or anxiety. For example, using treats, praise, or play to reinforce commands like "sit" or "stay" helps dogs learn in a way that feels safe and enjoyable. Avoiding harsh methods, like choke collars or physical corrections, prevents potential harm and builds a dog’s confidence. Additionally, assessing each dog’s temperament and needs allows you to tailor training to their comfort level, ensuring they feel secure. For instance, a reactive dog may need gradual exposure to triggers in a controlled setting to prevent overwhelm. Maintaining a safe physical space—free from hazards, with secure leashes or barriers during group sessions—further protects the dogs and sets them up for success. **Building Trust with Owners**: Trust with owners is equally critical, as they are integral to the training process. Owners need to feel confident that you prioritize their dog’s welfare and respect their goals. This starts with clear, transparent communication about your methods, emphasizing your commitment to safe, humane techniques. For example, explaining why you use positive reinforcement and how it benefits their dog helps owners feel informed and involved. Listening to their concerns, such as a dog’s specific behavioral issues or their own anxieties about training, shows empathy and builds rapport. Providing consistent updates on progress, offering practical tips for owners to reinforce training at home, and demonstrating measurable results—like a dog responding reliably to commands—further solidify trust. By fostering an open, collaborative relationship, you empower owners to feel like active partners in their dog’s development. **Why It Matters**: Your emphasis on safety ensures dogs thrive in a stress-free environment, leading to faster learning and lasting behavioral change. Simultaneously, building trust with owners creates a loyal client base who feel confident in your expertise and are more likely to recommend your services. This dual focus not only improves training outcomes but also establishes you as a compassionate, reliable professional in the field. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. Having owned dogs before, I’m experienced with their needs and love incorporating walks, playtime, and cuddles into my schedule. My flexible hours allow me to adapt to each dog’s unique routine, ensuring they get the attention and care they deserve, whether it’s a quick walk or a full day of sitting. As a dog trainer, prioritizing safety with dogs and building trust with their owners is fundamental to creating a successful and positive training experience. Safety ensures the physical and emotional well-being of the dogs, while trust with owners fosters confidence in your methods and strengthens the partnership needed for effective training outcomes.

About: Hello, I am a former US Gov. dog handler with 10 yrs of dog handling experience as well as experience with my own pets and family dogs. I was trained at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas to work Explosives Detection K9's for use at our airports, specifically Dulles Airport in VA. I have traveled extensively throughout the country and world, sometimes with my K9 which was always exciting. From supporting presidential inaugurations, the Super Bowl to bomb threats at an airport or on an aircraft the job was so fulfilling. Also seeing kids' faces light up at the airport was the best! Sadly, those days are behind me but I still have the knowledge and desire to play and be with dogs. I used to have the flexibility to work from home most of the month but now I am forced to go into the office so my Rover abilities are limited to weekends. But during those weekends I can give your four-legged family member plenty of breaks. During the weekend, I'll be primarily at home and can provide numerous potty breaks for your pup. If i do need to step out for errands, I can either leave your pup out as long as they are comfortable or I can place them in a crate if they are crate trained. They pass the day dazing off into the woods and watching birds, squirrels, deer and the occasional fox from the safety of a window. I will limit myself to 1 dog for boarding overnights or for day care. I can do 2 but only if they are already a pair living in the same household. Having to unknown dogs in my home could lead to fights which I want to avoid for the sake of the dogs, you and me! I prefer to do all my walks and potty breaks on leash. No fenced-in yard your pup will get lots of positive bonding on walks!. I have an XL crate and can provide crating if your pup is crate trained/if that's a preference for you. Your pups bed time will be in the crate (if trained), in a spare bedroom with a giant mattress all to themselves with a window and light. My furniture is pet friendly (no antiques here!). I can enforce any feeding rules that you have (sit/stay before chowing down) or provide any medications as directed. I do not have any pets of my own at the moment.

About: Hey, my name is Thais and I've loved and had animals since I could remember. My most recent sitter experiences come from house sitting in over five countries while traveling/backpacking full time for over two years with my husband. Who knew you could travel the world and care for pets at the same time! My other core experiences come from having pets my whole life, volunteering with dog rescue groups, as well as fostering cats and kittens. Currently we have 1 golden retriever and 4 cats! As a pet owner I understand how important it is to find someone who actually cares and understands your dog's/cat's needs. So I am happy to be that for you! I am currently working from home and would love to care for your babies while we are taking a break from our full time travels! Currently working from home in a great neighborhood with a spacious yard. Flexible schedule and always looking for a reason to go on another walk. Our home is our pets home, and that will be the same for yours. Our animals enjoy all areas of our home and have access to the backyard whenever they like - or ask. We are animal lovers and spending time with your fur babies is something we all love and cherish!

“Rosie stayed with Steve for the first time (day care) and clearly had a very fine time with his own dogs and other Rover.com clients, Steve has a lot of good dog experience and love for doggies. He was very conscientious about taking care of Rosie. I look forward to future day care and/or boarding opportunities with Steve -- and I'm sure Rosie agrees!”
