Doggy Day Care Stadium-Armory

“Thank you so much again for watching my baby 🐶. I will definitely book him again. My baby was very tired, which was a good thing. She got home and ate and went right to sleep.”

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.

“Sonja was amazing! She came out on short notice to meet our pups, and she did an amazing job with them. She sent us photo updates and checked in every so often. The pups looked so happy; we could tell they were having a blast and that they loved her. As owners of two large breed dogs, it's difficult to find someone who is at ease around them, not afraid, and not overwhelmed by them, and Sonja was all that we could have hoped for in those regards. We definitely plan on using her services again! ”

“Hugo loved staying with Melodie and made a doggo friend! Melodie listened carefully to Hugo’s special care instructions and sent me pictures. Thank you!”

“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!).”

“Melanie was amazing. Responded when we were in a pinch last minute. Took care of Wilbur and he seemed to love it. Will be a repeat customer for sure.”

“It feels so rare to find someone on this app that genuinely has the animals wellness and comfort as their top priority. After so many bad experiences it was a relief to know my dog was in good hands while I was away. I had to find a sitter last minute for work and Rosina was extremely flexible and communicative. If I could do a rating worth more than 5 stars I would. Even if you do not live in DC I highly recommend going the distance to ensure your furry friend is in a beautiful loving home. Will 100% be rebooking whenever I'm in the area. <3”

“Theresa was wonderful! Milan loved spending the day with her and her pup, T’Challa. She kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind! She was very attentive to his needs. Milan enjoyed walks, plenty of attention, and a warm, welcoming environment. Thank you so much!”

“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!”

About: Hello! I grew up with animals (three cats and one dog) and love being around them (especially cats). I would love to spend time with your furry bestie. I’ve been sitting on rover on and off for a few years and sitting for friends and family my whole life! I work remotely during the week, Monday to Friday, so I can be pretty flexible with times for walks and attentive to your furry one! I love going on long walks and cuddling with affectionate pets. I always take lots of photos for my clients and communicate with them daily.

“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.”

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

Kristen J.

“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!”

Zeynep S.

“I was in town for a baseball game and didn’t want to leave my puppy in the hotel room. Alisha was fantastic and I would recommend her without hesitation. She took great care of my Ruby.”

Regina S.

“Emily is obviously a dog lover. She made my pup feel right at home and took her on a nice walk. I really like it when I get updates during the day and Emily sent me photos confirming my pup was comfortable and happy. I’ll definitely book with her again.”

About: I had a dog named Buddy that I loved deeply for 16 years. Buddy passed away two years ago and it has been difficult moving on without him.I am looking for opportunities to dogsit for companionship and an excuse to be more active. I have dogsat for family many times and have experience caring for a range of ages and breeds. I am most familiar with caring for senior dogs. I work fully remote and will be able to be with your baby throughout the day. Please consider me you new sitter! Pet care fits into my daily routine, since I work from home, I’m able to take care of the dog during the day and night. I typically wake up pretty early and keep a regimented schedule throughout the day. I make sure the dog is walked. I make sure that I spend a little time playing with them if they’re older dogs and I spend a little time rubbing them or petting them. Some dogs don’t like all of that so you really have to pay attention to what type of dog you’re getting. Luckily I love all dogs so it’s all fun for me.

“Marc was caring, and kept me updated with Chico. I appreciate the picture of Chico in his happy space. I would definitely book another daycare service with Marc.”

“Holly and her dog Millicent were very accommodating with our last minute doggy day care request! I really appreciated her responsiveness and also the text and photo updates throughout the day—thank you Holly!”
