Doggy Day Care Shaw

“Izzy and Brian are fantastic sitters. Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, which is great for day trips (esp if we hit bad traffic or end up leaving later than originally planned). They send photos and videos regularly! Dzov LOVES his friend Jax and Ziggy and is always pooped out from playing so hard with those two all day. They're always my first go-to for day care/overnight stays because they're reliable, friendly, and can handle my big doggo!”

“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”

“Thank you for watching Maple last minute! Good communication, pick up and drop off were easy, and Maple was tired out after.”

“Jamesha is reliable and quick to respond. I send Romeo to her 2-3 times a week and he comes back happy and tired.”

“Marta took great care of Uni, who was understandably anxious as this was his first doggy day care experience! She’s very accommodating of my schedule change and responded promptly to my messages. Thanks Marta :)”

“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

About: I adopted a dog during the pandemic and share a cat with my husband. I grew up on a farm and would watch and care for the neighbors' animals while they were on vacation. I've been working on Rover for two years. I'm looking forward to meeting your pets and giving you some peace of mind while you're at work or on vacation. I work remotely, so I am available for housesitting, walks, and drop-ins as needed. Happy to make my schedule fit with yours! I work remotely and am available to house sit and do walks/drop ins if you live in Shaw. I am excited to talk and learn more about your animals! Please see the pet care experience section. The too long didn't read version: safety first. I love animals and treat them like my own family.

“Aroa was fantastic. Great communications throughout the entire process, sent many wonderful photos over the day, and the puppy loved her & her place! Very happy with my choice.”

About: I've been a dog person my whole life. Our family has shared our home with everything from standard poodles to an American Eskimo, so I've handled big personalities, high-maintenance coats, smart dogs who need a job, and gentle seniors who need patience and a soft place to land. We recently lost our beloved standard poodle, and while we're not ready for another dog of our own yet, we have a lot of love with nowhere to go. We'd be thrilled to pour it into yours. Your dog will be our only pet, which means undivided attention: no competing for the couch, the yard, or the treats. Speaking of the yard, it's fully enclosed, so there's plenty of room to sniff, play, and stretch out safely, and we're an easy walk from a nearby park for longer outings. Our home also includes a dog-adoring 7-year-old who has grown up around dogs and knows how to be calm and respectful with them, and all interactions are supervised. By day I run a national nonprofit (from our home), so I'm organized, responsive, and used to being trusted with things that matter to other people. You'll get prompt replies, photo updates, and a sitter who actually follows your instructions, whether that's a medication schedule, a specific feeding routine, or a nightly belly rub quota. I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. My day has a natural rhythm that suits most dogs: a morning walk or yard time before I start work, a midday break for a potty trip and some play, and a longer walk to the park in the late afternoon once the workday winds down. In between, your dog is welcome to nap at my feet, keep an eye on the squirrels from the window, or supervise my Zoom calls. Evenings and weekends are family time, which means more play, more attention, and more couch cuddles. I'm happy to follow your dog's existing schedule for meals, medications, and bedtime, since I know routine is what helps most dogs settle into a new place quickly. Your dog's safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a fully enclosed yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and we're a short walk from several parks for longer outings, always on leash unless you've told me otherwise. I do a quick check of gates and latches before every outing, and dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside, your dog has the run of our home and is welcome on the furniture unless you'd prefer they stay off. We've never crated our own dogs, but if a crate is what makes your pup feel safe and settled, I'm happy to use one. Just bring it along with their bed, food, and anything else that smells like home.

“Linde was fantastic. Our normally anxious pup was calm and happy when we picked him up. He seemed to have had a great time hanging out with his new friend. We appreciated the photos Linde took too!”

“Asma & Mitchell took great care of our anxious little dog! They were happy to meet us before watching our dog and sent us the sweetest updates and photos while we were away for a few hours. I'm sure he was a bit whiny, but Asma & Mitchell were so kind and seemed to handle him easily! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving our dog with them again.”

“I’ve left Ruby with her twice now, and both experiences were great. She is very easy to communicate with, responds quickly, and took wonderful care of Ruby. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Holly was a great help taking care of Bella for a day. She had great communication, took excellent care of Bella, and made her feel right at home!”

About: I have been helping my mom with rover since she started two years ago and I want to do this on my own. My mom has a five star rating and so once I earn your trust and get to care and love your fur babv. I’m currently in high’s school finishing up to start on my adult life and work in the big world and hoping I can start on that with rover. I have a fenced back and front yard. Safety is my number one priority. I do what’s best for the owner and pet. So if you prefer them to be walked around the block, go to the dog park or just burn energy in the yard i will do what’s best for you and your fur baby

“Criza is amazing! Very attentive and kind, my pup seems to always have a great time with her. She’s really responsive to requests, and always seems to be on time (even when I’m not haha). 12/10 she’s great!”

About: I’ve raised four cats and lived with plenty of others over the years. I’m also an experienced dog walker and a friend to pretty much every animal I meet! I recently relocated to the DC area and am currently between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available 7 days a week and can accommodate a variety of schedules and pet-care needs. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet, communicate clearly & often, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Vernon took lovely care of our boy! He was communicative, timely and flexible. He took our request at the last minute and adjusted to our schedule. He is efficient and I could tell that our boy had a good time. This was our first time using Rover and he gave us the peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again!”

“Bruno was so accommodating and understanding! He was flexible with pick up and drop off location and time. He was patient with my little barkier-than-usual pup!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, and currently own Gullu, a 10 yr old rescue. I have experience managing all ages and sizes of dogs, with varying medical conditions and unique needs. I successfully trained Gullu out of her separation anxiety with a lot of love and patience, and the joy of seeing her blossom makes me believe in every dog’s potential! I work full time from home. I have a set schedule for my dog Gullu as I walk her 4-5 times a day. On weekends I do extra long walks to ensure she gets enough exercise. I live in a 1500 sq ft apartment with a large living space. I also have a very sweet and friendly 10 year old rescue, Gullu who is a small 25 lbs mixed breed. She is very gentle, minds her own business and has no issues sharing space or toys. I can crate your dog if needed.
