Dog Boarding Potomac Yard-Potomac Greens

About: Hi! I’m Nicole, a lifelong animal lover and professional belly-rub provider. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and have also cared for bunnies, fish, and birds, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I've volunteered at animal shelters and pet sat for family friends, giving me experience with everything from energetic zoomie enthusiasts to professional couch potatoes. I offer walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and boarding. I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of dog-friendly walking areas nearby, giving pets lots of opportunities for exercise and outdoor time. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Before caring for your pet, I'd love to learn about their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions. The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I offer free local pick up within 3 miles! Located in Arlington ,reach out for more details. :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Since most of my classes are online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent check-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day.

“McKinley was the best sitter we could’ve had! She was able to accommodate to a last minute request. She sent frequent updates and my pup felt so comfortable in her house with her other pets. 10/10 best sitter in the area!”

“As always Melanie and Greg (and their two adorable kids) did a fantastic job caring for our pups. They’re so attentive, loving, and genuinely love dogs! They sent great pictures and our pups were exhausted when they got home! Absolutely will use them again.”

“Anna took amazing care of our senior pup! We are so thankful to find someone who genuinely cares for pets and she treated ours as if she were her own. Anna also was a great communicator and we absolutely trust her to take care of our pup again!”

“Aisha did a great job with my new rescue dog. I had only had Maggie for a week before I unfortunately had to leave her for the weekend, but Aisha took excellent care of her. We did a meet and greet in advance that was really helpful and made Maggie familiar with Aisha and her home. Aisha sent me a number of pictures and frequent updates. She was also very patient with Maggie even when she had a couple accidents. When I came to pick Maggie up it was clear that she really liked Aisha. I would not hesitate to use her again. I really appreciated her help!”

“Michelle gets all stars from me for being a terrific dogsitter. I got photos and numerous updates everyday and she handled my feisty 1-year-old little terrier, Ruby, like a pro. tons of exercise, love, and a window to the street for some people and dog watching met all of Ruby's needs. I totally trust and appreciate the outstanding care and attention she provides.”

“Sarah was super professional, extremely responsive, and I know my dog had a great stay in her care. I would 100% go to her again for overnight stays!”

“Gail, I can't thank you enough for the great and loving care you gave our Nala. This was a long stay and she isn't used to being with anyone besides the family. Getting the photos and videos every day and seeing that she was happy and felt like home with you, made us feel at ease and relaxed. It made our overseas vacation more enjoyable, knowing that she was in such good hands. Nala would definitely want to stay with Gail again.”

Hronn P.

“Amazing dog sitter! Nirvana always kept me posted on how my boy Kai was doing, it looked like they had a blast together, and she was very flexible and accommodating on my flight delay back home. Highly recommend.”

Karl L.

“Rae took great care of Jesse for a week. She has lots Of toys and activities for the busy pet. I’m so glad my dog also got to enjoy a vacation. I would rebook with Rae.”

Marjorie L.

“Camille was really great with my pup (Cersei)! She sent photos and videos throughout the stay and I could really tell that Cersei was absolutely having the best time! Would definitely recommend Camille if you’re looking for quality care and a happy pup when you’re away!”

Dalitso N.

“Cristian is a great and very responsive sitter. He also has the sweetest dog and our dogs get along great. He was very accommodating when I needed a sitter on a short notice. I would definitely leave my pup, Rowdy, with him again.”

Victor A.

“My brown Pomeranian, Bentley, absolutely loves staying with Margarita. He’s usually nervous during drop offs for trips, but with her, he happily walks away from me as soon as he sees her. As a senior, he needs daily medication, and she does a wonderful job taking care of him. She’s very responsive and sends daily updates, which I really appreciate. And in every photo she shares, he’s all smiles! Some trip stress is taken off me knowing that he’s in good hands.”

Valentina M.

“Carolyn was a fantastic host for my dog Jenny. Jenny fit right in with her two pups. There were some minor hiccups that she informed me about at pick up, but overall they treated her as one of their own. Carolyn made sure that Jenny was well exercised, taking her on the trails nearby almost every day. She also made sure Jenny took her medication everyday. I would gladly rebook with Carolyn the next time I need someone to watch Jenny!”

Zackary J.

“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”

Dominic C.

“Tien is a one in a million find as a dog sitter. Absolutely grateful that we’ve found her and will continue to utilize her for future stays. She kept us posted daily and ensured everything was fine. Do to a family emergency we needed to extend our stay in which Tien didn’t hesitate to assist with Simba’s unexpected longer stay. We have truly found Simba’s second home. Thanks again for everything Tien ??”

“Marta is a true animal lover. She was so sweet with my cat and looked after him like he was her own. She clearly has had experience owning pets herself in the past, and also communicated updates proactively with me throughout my time away. Thanks Marta!”
