Doggy Day Care Riverwood

“My dog had a great time at daycare! Fengyuan provided regular updates throughout the day and I felt comfortable leaving Flynn in his care. Pick up and drop off was quick. Flynn came home happy and most importantly tired after a fun day. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years- I am great with all breeds and have a knack for training puppies (and older dogs too!) I am working from home and live right along a beautiful pet friendly park! I go on walks and runs throughout the day so love taking pups out with me! I ensure dogs are well taken care of and have experience administering different medications to dogs (including allergy injections) and following dietary restrictions or other needs. I show a lot of love and affection to pups and will keep them occupied and hopefully burn some of their energy playing and going on walks/runs!

“Laura was very communicative and thoughtful. Milo was so excited to see her and was well taken care of!”

“Haley was amazing with our little puppy!!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch him, she had so many updates throughout the day! We couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner with over 2 years of hands-on experience taking care of my own cats every day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and paying close attention to their behavior and health. I have also helped friends care for their pets while they were away. I know that every pet has a different personality, so I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and happy to give energetic pets the attention and exercise they need. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can provide pet care at any time of the day and accommodate different schedules, whether you need morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care. I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special requirements. I take time to build trust with every pet and always provide photo and message updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

“Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! She took such great care of him, made sure he got plenty of walks and playtime, and kept me updated throughout the day with thoughtful messages and photos. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved in her care. Her communication was excellent and gave me complete peace of mind. I would 100% trust Catherine again and will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I'm Erin, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I make it a priority to provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to accommodate what makes them happiest. I'll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and affection that I give my own. I'm reliable, communicative, and committed to giving you peace of mind. You can expect regular photo and video updates, prompt communication, and plenty of love and attention for your pet every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner, I'm used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and exercise. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care, stay consistent with your pet's routine, and give them the time and attention they deserve. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday drop-in, or evening companionship, I'm happy to accommodate your pet's needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way. I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following the routine they're used to. Before each booking, I like to learn about their feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions or behaviors to be aware of. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the home itself. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection while keeping your home clean and secure. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I ensure they have regular potty breaks, walks, meals, and plenty of love and supervision throughout their stay. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for, while giving pet parents confidence that their furry family member is in good hands.

“Lee took excellent care of our dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. We appreciated the regular updates and our dog was very happy at the end of the day. Would highly recommend and use her services again.”

About: I’m a proud dog dad to Rambo, my Golden Retriever, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. Raising him has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training, leash manners, and all the attention and care that comes with being a dog owner. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors, including dogs that can be reactive in certain situations. This has taught me to be patient, pay close attention to body language, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and adapt my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and constant playtime, while others prefer their space and a calmer environment. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the same way I’d want someone to treat Rambo—with patience, attention, care, and plenty of love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine with Rambo, my Golden Retriever. My days already include walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of time dedicated to him, so caring for another pet fits naturally into my schedule. I’m also flexible and can plan around your pet’s routine and needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and I always make sure they’re introduced safely and comfortably to Rambo.

“My maltipoo had a great time with Asma! Asma quickly helped him feel situated in a new environment, and she was caring, fun, and patient with him (she also shared some new treats for him which he loved). Asma’s also very responsive and sent nice updates of their day together. Looking forward to the next time!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and can’t imagine life without them. I grew up with dogs and, at 18, became the full-time caregiver for two lovable Springer Spaniels. I cared for them through every stage of life—including their senior years—gaining experience with medication, mobility support, and lots of extra TLC. As a teacher, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong communication to everything I do—including pet care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. Whether they need playtime, snuggles, or senior care, I’m here to help! As a teacher, I finish work around 3 PM on weekdays, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for drop-ins, walks, or pet sitting. I’m also available for boarding on weekends and school holidays. My schedule is consistent, and I always make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and love they deserve—whether it’s a weekday visit or a weekend stay! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether caring for them in your home or mine, I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and relaxed. I follow your instructions carefully—feeding, routines, medication—and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My home is pet-friendly and quiet, perfect for weekend boarding. Plus, I live close to a dog park, so your pup can enjoy safe, fun playtime and socialization. I always make sure every walk or visit is secure, stress-free, and tailored to your pet’s needs.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and just absolutely adore them! I’m a long time dog lover, and have experience helping a fellow Rover Dog walker/Dog sitter care for pups many times! I also work in the emergency department, so staying calm and getting the job done are a huge part of my day to day! I currently work shift work, so on the days I’m off, I am free to dedicate a lot of time to making sure your dog is well cared for and having the best day! I have a spacious apartment in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of space for long walks! There’s also a nearby dog park and plenty of other parks for us to enjoy some play time.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with Labs, German Shepherds, and cats taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I have also volunteered with the Animal Welfare League of Arlington for two years, where I have gained additional experience caring for animals and learning about different behaviors and temperaments. In addition to general pet care, I have informal training experience with dogs, including helping reinforce basic commands, positive behaviors, and good routines. I enjoy working with young pets as they learn and helping senior pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is always to provide the same level of attention, patience, and love that I would want for my own pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely four days a week with a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I am able to accommodate a pet’s normal routine, whether that includes letting dogs outside for breaks, taking them on a midday walk, providing playtime, or simply spending time with them while they relax. I enjoy creating a consistent and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific instructions. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar environments, so I focus on providing consistent care, attention, and companionship while respecting the owner’s home. For each pet, I take time to understand their personality and needs, whether they are energetic and playful, shy and independent, or require extra patience and care. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

“Juliet was very accommodating to my work schedule. She kept me informed with pictures and how Remi was doing throughout the day. She is caring, kind and sweet and will make sure your pup is taken great care of.”

About: My Wife, MK, and I are dog lovers through and through! MK was on the board of PAWS, and my yearbook quote from West Point described me as “dog-loving.” We are getting a pup soon but until then would love to watch a few others! I am currently fully remote, and MK is remote on Monday’s and Friday’s. I am very flexible while working from home, so I can attend to any needs during the week or weekdays. We live in a walk-up town home. There are plenty of other dogs in our complex. Our whole first floor is the living room and kitchen with bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Whatever the client prefers on where their pet wants to sleep!

“Fabian took great care of Rolo! He was very patient, communicative, and kept us updated with lots of photos. We’d definitely book with him again!”

Natalia M.

“Julia was a great sitter for my dog. She sent tons of pictures and kept me up-to-date on everything that was going on. She took my dog on lots of walks and it looked like he had a lot of fun with her dog.”

About: I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet because they're family. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I'm attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets who require a little extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care I provide. I don't just stop by to check a box, I spend quality time with your pet, making sure they feel happy, exercised, and cared for. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every animal as if they were my own. I work remotely from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I have a lot of flexibility in my workday, I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of companionship instead of leaving pets alone for long stretches. I genuinely enjoy having animals around, they make my days better! Whether your pet loves to play, go on adventures, or simply curl up next to someone while they work, they'll have plenty of company and care. My schedule also allows me to be responsive to your pet's individual routine and provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for while you're away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In my home, pets have a calm, quiet environment with plenty of one-on-one attention since I don't have any pets of my own. I work remotely, so they're never left alone and can enjoy frequent potty breaks, playtime, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also live just a five-minute walk from a beautiful trail, making it easy to provide regular walks, fresh air, and exercise tailored to your pet's energy level.
