Doggy Day Care in Shaw, Washington, D.C., DC

“Angela was easy to schedule, responsive, and asked appropriate questions to confirm Fig’s care needs during her stay. She was patient with our dog’s nervous tendencies”

“This week was the first doggy daycare for my pup with Matty. It went splendidly. We met initially so we all could meet (including my dog). Dropping and picking my pup up was seamless. And the actual daycare went amazingly—we got plenty of pics and updates. Matty already knows we intend to be regular customers.”

“Grace and her husband Daniel took such good care of my little ball of anxiety. Even better - Willie Nelson now has two new doggy friends! This is a HUGE deal, as Willie isn’t so quick to warm up to most dogs but he started playing with Grace’s younger pup immediately 🥹. I definitely recommend Grace and her pack for any and all sitting needs 🐶🩵”

“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!”

“Mac has been an absolute lifesaver! I had to return to the office for 5 days for the first time since I got my dog, Ham, and let's just say he's a little clingy. A lot clingy. Mac has been able to give Ham all the love and attention he needs, and I know Ham loves it at Mac's by how excited he gets when we turn the corner to Mac's street each morning. I am so relieved that I found someone who loves Ham as much as I do. Mac is really the best.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. When I was younger, my family had a Blue Tick Hound who taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and the importance of daily exercise. As I got older, I cared for a loving mutt with a completely different personality — more playful, curious, and full of energy. Those experiences helped me learn how to adapt to different temperaments and needs, whether it’s a dog who loves long walks or one who prefers a slower pace. I bring genuine care and attention to every animal I look after. I treat every pet like family — with kindness, structure, and understanding. Because I’ve had both high-energy and gentle dogs, I know how to balance activity with comfort, and I’m always focused on making each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Since my college classes end by 12:30 p.m. most days (and 1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays), I have plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy spending that time outdoors, and caring for pets is a great way to do something I love while keeping an active routine. On weekends, I’m typically free all day, which gives me extra flexibility for longer walks or extended care if needed. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and trust. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level before jumping into play or walks. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay in familiar, safe spaces and follow their usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule. I’m attentive to small details — like securely closing doors, double-checking leashes and gates, and keeping water bowls fresh. If I’m walking or visiting, I keep an eye on surroundings at all times and avoid crowded or unsafe areas. I believe that pets pick up on calm energy, so I make sure to create a relaxed, positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel at ease knowing everything is handled responsibly and with genuine care.

“Katherine is amazing! She takes such good care of our little puppy, sends pictures and videos, and sends her home happy and sleepy. We are thrilled to have found such a great sitter for daycare and will definitely use (and continue to recommend) Katherine in the future.”

“Maia is amazing - made my shy introverted pup feel right at home! She communicated throughout the day, and I look forward to trusting her with my pup again!”

About: I have been pet sitting for cats, dogs, rabbits (you name it), since I was a very young child. I have a great deal of experience with both house sitting and inviting the critters of my friends, coworkers, and neighbors into my home. I have pet-sat for puppies and kittens as well as senior pets and pets with medical concerns such as diabetes and seizures. I would love to chat further with you about the needs and personalities of your pets so you feel comfortable leaving them in my care. I'm currently working a part-time remote job that gives me full control over my schedule, so I can work around your needs and the needs of your pets. I live in a large house with a small but safe fenced-in back yard for your critters to play in. My neighborhood (Bloomingdale) is very walkable and full of dogs!
