Doggy Day Care Stafford Albemarle Glebe

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life and, more recently, I was a dog sitter for a very rambunctious puppy for several months. I also cared for my late dog well into her teens, so I am very comfortable looking after elderly animals. Oh, and I'm not just a dog person! I routinely look after my sister's cat. I work part-time, often during odd hours in the evenings, so I have plenty of availability during regular 9-to-5 hours! I also have a very flexible schedule and can usually work something out. Every animal is different! Providing care to an animal will look very different depending on the animal's age, health, or personality/temperament. I'm always happy to accomdate!

“My pandemic pup struggles with separation anxiety and Supon did a great job helping her adjust. He also helped me adjust by sending lots of pics during the day!”

“Jie is our new go to for doggy day care, for my 15 week old puppy. She sent updates throughout the day, and I felt like he was very safe and happy to be in her home.”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly enjoy caring for both dogs and cats. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether your pet loves to play, go on walks, cuddle, or simply relax in a quiet space, I’ll provide patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to them. My priority is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs daytime companionship, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, or medication, I can accommodate their routine and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I strive to be reliable, responsive, and flexible to meet both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where dogs and cats can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I would give my own.

“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 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.

“Hammy has a great time!”

“Diana was great with Pisco! He had such a fun time and she took such good care of him. She’s very responsive, communicative, and makes sure to share fun memories as well. Even when Pisco wasn’t feeling the best she made sure he was comfortable and kept me informed. Would definitely recommend her and return for more bookings!”

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.

“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!”

“Prisila was truly awesome. She was communicative and very attentive to our dogs. One is 14+ years old and the other is 5+ months old. We were up in the area for our son’s graduation from The Basic School at Quantico. Prisila took excellent care of our dogs, shared their activities and pictures with us, all while juggling their different needs and schedules. We were able to fully enjoy our son’s graduation because we knew the dogs were happy with Prisila and they were being well-cared for. We would absolutely take our dogs back to Prisila. Thank you, Prisila. ⭐️”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.

“Jack was fantastic!! He took great care of our 8-month-old puppy. He took her on lots of walks, taught her a new trick, and sent us regular photo and text updates. I would use him again in a heartbeat. Our dog was happy and tired when she came home!”
