Doggy Day Care South West

“Hammy has a great time!”

“Finley had a total blast with Supon. She played, she sunbathed, she hung out at his feet while he worked. We moved to the suburbs recently and Finley isn’t as used to going to dog sitters’ as she was, so she was skittish when she arrived. But very quickly it was clear from photos and videos that she was having the best day ever with new dog friends, Supon, and his expansive outdoor deck. I also appreciated how much Supon kept me updated throughout the day. Finley can’t wait to go back.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student on break, and most of my classes during the semester are online. This means I’m home full-time on all non-clinical days and have plenty of time to give your pets my full attention. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

“We’ve had June watch our puppy for many months now and I can’t believe I haven’t sung her praises until now. June has been the best dog sitter and 3rd parent to our dog! She’s communicative, helpful and as a new puppy parent, very helpful in reinforcing training (we think she’s better behaved at Junes!).”

“Outstanding care for Zeke. Amanda was great. Very nice person, patient, very easy to work with and to schedule sitting times. I highly recommend. If visiting DC she is located very close to everything you would want to see. No going out of way to drop your pet.”

“Great! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone besides family and Kaylee was great! Our puppy Luffy seemed to have enjoyed his time there we picked him up well fed and happy. She made sure to take pictures and track all potty and food which was appreciated! She made sure to ask about his potty routine :) we were definitely happy with having her look after our little one!”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.

“Attentive pet care from a very competent dog owner. Ohana is excited to arrive in the mornings, and returns home calm and stress free as a result of the good company and good mental engagement and playtime with Louie. 10/10”

“Abigail is great! She’s super communicative, easy to work with, and our dog had the best time playing all day with her pup, Stella. Highly recommend!”

Nicole L.

“Emily was so great with our puppy. She was great at communicating with us, took lots of pictures, and our puppy was throughly tuckered out and the end of the day. It was great to be able to leave him in such good hands.”

Lindsey W.

“Andrew was so great! Sent us photos and updates throughout the day, and our dog Milo was chill and happy when we picked him up. We would happily bring Milo back to see him again!”

Alyssa H.

“Sarah is so sweet!! Very good with reactivity since she has lots of experience, and took great care of Chester.”

Miriam & Anusuya L.

“My dog, Freddie, stayed with Joe for an afternoon while we were out in Beaufort. Joe has a great location, super convenient to downtown and a great backyard for the pups to play in. Joe made things super easy and his dog, Watson, kept Freddie busy and entertained for the afternoon. Would highly recommend Joe and Watson and hope to have Freddie stay again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Sunny, a full-time pet sitter based in Arlington, VA. Caring for pets isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s my full-time career. I truly love spending time with animals and treat every dog and cat with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm senior dogs. I also have experience reinforcing basic manners and following each pet’s unique routine. Because pet care is my full-time job, your pet will never be “fit into my schedule.” Their comfort, safety, and happiness are my priority every day. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, plenty of affection, and a calm, loving environment while their family is away. My goal is simple: I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I welcome dogs of all sizes. For extra-large dogs or dogs with especially high energy levels, pricing may vary depending on the level of care required. Please feel free to reach out so we can discuss your pet’s individual needs. Pet care is my full-time job, so your pet will receive my full attention throughout the day. I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding on schedule, and plenty of companionship. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and provide daily photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment in Arlington with easy access to several parks and walking trails. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions (when applicable), and each pet’s daily routine. I only accept a limited number of pets at one time so every pet receives the attention and care they deserve.

“Roshni took amazing care of my puppy! She was very communicative, clearly loves dogs and my puppy had the best time at day care! Highly recommend and will definitely be using her services again soon!”

About: My first two rescues were Rottweilers my third and only child is the child that my mom blessed me with. She is a needy, loving girl but high energy so I’ve dealt with everything from couch potato to high Strong lovely I work from home and my height energy baby is used to go out multiple times a day and she is great with any dog she needs. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I am very active walking them in the neighborhood and we will always make time to go out. We are sidekick and we go walking together, dog parks together, but also she has not ever met a dog that she doesn’t love. Even those in the neighborhood that don’t get along with others love her. I do not have kids, but my nieces who are 5 to 9 or around her often so she is great with them, but I also understand those that don’t want their dog around kids so I will not bring them around them if they are uncomfortable.

About: hello! I’ve been a pet sitter for quite some time. I’ve taken care of dogs on and off over the years. I was a Rover house-sitter for 2 years and then took a break for travels and work. I’m now back to dog sitting and doggy day care! I’m happy to do long-term pet sitting, I tend to have a flexible schedule. I had a dog my own for 10 years, he was a small to medium sized Pomeranian. I now have another dog, he’s 3 years old and a greyhound-lab mix. He’s very mellow and really great with other dogs. He’s very well trained and responds to English and Spanish. I’m currently working from home. So, I am able to pet-sit throughout the day, take them on walks, and provide attentive care. I am available on weekends, as well. Your dog will be comfortable with me and my dog in our apartment. They won’t be alone and will have continuous company, either from me or my dog. Llano (Yano) is a mellow dog, so he tends to be easy going. I can take them on walks around the neighborhood. I am able to be there for them and keep a steady schedule for walking, feeding, and play time. My house does not have a fence, therefore they will not be off leash at any point outside. I can provide general care, meal prep, and brushing if needed.

“Sung was amazing! She took care of our dog on a very, very last minute request. Communication was amazing. Sung sent updates and pictures throughout the day. Our dog came back very happy!”
