Doggy Day Care in Penrose, Arlington, VA

“Janelle is amazing with my goldendoodle, Apollo! She makes sure he gets lots of love and exercise. She is super fast to respond and takes cute pictures of him ☺️”

“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.”

“Tarang and her husband were so wonderful with my pup. He is often nervous with new people but warmed up to them right away. By day 2 of daycare, he was literally jumping for joy when we arrived at their building. Tarang is so kind and caring with him, and he apparently follows her everywhere. He also loves playing with her dog, Rio. Tarang’s building is really dog friendly—they have a patio and a little dog park. My pup has made new friends there and just loves it. I’m so glad I found Tarang on Rover. She’s the perfect sitter for my dog, and I feel great having such a warm and caring place to bring him during the day.”

“Jisoo is so incredible! I’m not sure anyone is ever comfortable with leaving their pet but Jisoo was so communicative and thorough that you feel like you left your pet with family. She’s amazing.”

“My dog is amazing but not an easy one for sure. Even after many schooling and private lessons he still has his own ideas and can get distracted by everything. He always needs a 100 % attention or he will do something that he shouldnt… Viki always handled him with ease and at the good level of firmness. The way I can tell that its good for both because they both get very happy and excited too see each other! I can leave my precious with her for a weekend or for a week and theres never an issue. Maybe she could send more pictures while im away, I mean come on, 1 picture a day? Jokes aside, happy to recommend her!”

About: Hey there, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 Are you seeking top-notch care and companionship for your furry friend? Look no further! I'm a dedicated 22-year-old with a passion for pups, working from home and ready to give your dog the time of their life. My mini Labradoodle, trained as my emotional support dog, is the epitome of sweetness and charm. Together, we offer tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of love. Plus, with the convenience of living right across the street from Shirlington Dog Park, your pup will have endless opportunities for fun and socialization. With flexible scheduling and personalized attention, your pup will feel right at home. Ps. I have an indoor dog park right in my apartment complex so there is always opportunity for potties and play time☺️ Pet care is a cornerstone of my daily routine, woven seamlessly into each day. Mornings kick off with a refreshing walk or play session, setting the tone for a day filled with fun and activity. Throughout the day, I make sure to check in on my furry friend, offering companionship and care as needed. Whether it's a midday stroll, some playtime at the dog park, or simply cuddling up on the couch, my pet's well-being is always a top priority. In the evenings, we wind down together, enjoying quality time and relaxation. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are paramount when caring for pets, especially in the unique setting of an apartment. In my home, I ensure that all potential hazards are removed or secured, creating a safe space for pets to roam and play.

“This last week Irene and James have been a lifesaver! I now need to have my dog in daycare full time which she is not used to and usually very nervous. I’ve had my dog stay with Irene and James for dog sitting and could not be happier. My dog has thrived staying with them. She is comfortable, eats, drinks water, and interacts with them instead of shutting down. I have been so amazed by their care of my dog and the consistent text and photos updates throughout the day. So thankful to have found Irene and James to care for my dog and fully recommend them for any dog care services!”

“Thanks for the easy, fast communication and taking such good care of our dog for day care! The update pictures and text were much appreciated. Would definitely book again.”

“Amy saved the day for my chiweenie, Willar and I. Her pup Winston is a such a cute little guy and very mild mannered. Amy took great care of my little senior pup currently on a special diet and needing lots of attention and affection. Amy was also flexible and understanding of my own separation anxiety being away from my furbaby 😄”

“Bhavna took wonderful care of our dog, Luffy. She has the patience and understanding of a true dog expert, and Luffy absolutely loves her. I would definitely recommend Bhavna for all of your pet care needs!”

“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.”

“Thank you again for having Wave! She always comes home so exhausted and happy. We love the updates throughout the day and will continue to recommend you to our friends! Thank you again :)”

“Emma was amazing with my two dogs! I had just gotten a new puppy and she was able to provide individual attention to both her and my older dog while I was out for the day. They loved having her, and will definitely be using her again”

“Rebecca has watched our cat Butter several times over the last two years and every time we leave him in her care, we know he's in the best hands. She clearly has a natural way with animals - he can be quite shy, but Rebecca quickly won him over with ample patience and Churu rewards. Now, he absolutely adores her and has basically become a velcro cat whenever she is around. We always come home to a happy, relaxed cat, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he's so well loved while we're away. She’s not just a cat sitter — she’s become part of Butter’s little world. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Luna (15 week lab) loved all the attention she received by Miryam and her family. She was well taken care of for the day (meals, walks, Love)… Miryam kept in touch with plenty of photos which allowed me to not worry and enjoy my event.❤️ I would definitely use Miryam and her service when needed. Luna & I say Thank You Miryam❣️”

“We had a great experience with Shaina! She was flexible with our fluid schedule, accommodating, communicated quickly, and took good care of our girl. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Animal lover without one of my own right now! I have grown up with animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and bunnies. I live an active lifestyle and am looking to get out of my home office more. I work from home and have a flexible schedule throughout the day to help you out! Typically I am free before 9:30, between 12:30-1:30, and after 5. I tend to stick around town on the weekends and am flexible. I will treat your pet like it was my own. I am a very responsible caretaker and will follow whatever instructions you give. I am comfortable with many personalities of animals.

“Grace and Cody are caring and thoughtful sitters! My sweet Oliver is a needy boy and they have worked well with us to help Oliver be comfortable in their home. And toast is adorable! :)”
