Doggy Day Care in Takoma Park, Washington, D.C., DC

“Stephanie and Shawn are amazing! They’re an incredibly warm and hospitable family with three amazing pets that my beagle seemed to love. I felt that my pup was incredibly safe and comfortable, 15/10!”

“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”

“Rene and Steph took such great care of my dog. They have two dogs who are friendly and were good companions for my pup. I will continue to rebook and highly recommend Rene and Step!”

“Taurus was great. Highly recommend. He’s communicative throughout the process. He suggested and then we easily arranged a meet and greet before he sat the dog. Great service”

“Justin and Jeremy are awesome! I needed a last minute sitter for my pampered pup and Justin and Jeremy responded very quickly to my request and I was able to schedule a meet and greet a few hours after speaking. My pup was scheduled for daycare the following day and I know she had a great time as Justin and Jeremy sent pictures throughout the day of her taking a walk, napping, and enjoying cuddles. When I returned to pick her up I could see she was very comfortable with Justin and Jeremy and had a full day playing with other pups as she quickly fell asleep on the car ride home. I would definitely entrust Justin and Jeremy with caring for my pup again! Thank you Justin and Jeremy! -Jessica and Coco Monroe”

“Brianne was amazing with Miles! She took great care of him during my long shift, keeping me updated with photos and making sure he was happy and well-exercised. I could tell he was in great hands, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“I was really impressed with Jason N. and can't recommend him highly enough! My pup is a shy rescue with separation anxiety, but she immediately felt right at home at Jason N.'s and was having so much fun with the wonderful resident dog that she barely noticed when I left. I received regular updates on her day that completely assuaged any concerns I'd normally have, and when I picked her up at the end of the day I found her happy, relaxed, and all played-out. Having someone I really trust to watch Stella is an immense piece of mind, and I'll definitely be calling Jason N. next time I need a sitter.”

Mary B.

“Nick was the sweetest with our nervous pup, and she warmed to him immediately. He is a great communicator, very thoughtful and considerate, and a joy to work with. We will definitely be using his services regularly.”

Julia F.

“Tasha took great care of our beagles, even coaxing shy Annie out of her shell on just day two. Would definitely have her watch them again.”

Douglas P.

“Shantell is always reliable and flexible. And my dog gets excited when she sees we are going to her house, so I know she feels comfortable there.”

Laura A.

“Our puppy Fiona had a great stay with Chad, and Chad was super obliging and communicative when we had to adjust our second visit at the last minute. Thank you!”

“My dog seemed happy and healthy on pickup after two nights. I didn’t meet Dominique, just met her brother on both dropoff and pickup. He was good with my dog and theirs, as well as a third old pup who was at the house at pickup. They had the porch secured with a barrier that would not hold a big or determined dog but it seemed they were out there supervising all the time so no worries about escapes. They communicated well, I got photos and a few texts around logistics. Thanks guys! We’ll definitely consider using them again.”

“Fitz came home from her daycare stay with Amanda and Andrew so happy and ready for a nap! Amanda has been so easy to communicate with, and hosted us for a brief meet and greet before Fitz’s first stay. She asked lots of great questions about how to keep Fitz safe and happy, and drop-off/pick-up were a breeze. We so appreciate the peace of mind knowing our little girl is being treated like family. Amanda also sent pictures during the day so we could see our pup living her best life. We (and especially Fitz) can’t wait until next time!”

About: Sage is a small Boxweiler (Boxer X Rottweiler) She’s a love bug and I’m excited to have her in my life. — I’ve raised my dog Blossom from the time she was 8 weeks only till 6/18/2024 so I have puppy experience. She was 15 years old and a MinPin. I lived with my best friend for 7 years and helped care for his dog Chester (8 y/o Shepard/Chow). I absolutely love dogs. I’m autistic and find I really connect with dogs of all sorts. I’m home all day as caring for doggies is now my primary source of income, so I can give frequent breaks and afford lots of attention for play etc. I ensure that the space is free from human food items within reach of dogs unless I’m am actively consuming something. I don’t give table food/human food to dogs except for blueberries. Since blossom was a senior dog she had stairs to help her get on the bed. She had her own bed and kennel as well. I expect and appreciate you providing a kennel that comfortably allows them to chill in for 4-6 hours if possible.

“Frankie was very good with my dog, and sent me lots of photos and a video. Even though my dog was very happy to see me when I picked her up, she kept running back to Frankie for more pets, which is always a good sign.”

Rachel S.

“Nicole was great! She kept us up to date through out the day with how our pup was doing, was timely and so kind. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: Over the past 25 years, I have had my own pets - 2 cats and one dog. I've also helped care for neighbors' and friends' pets - including two sweet guinea pigs. I am not ready to get another pet for myself, but since I enjoy taking care of them, Rover is a good way for me to help others care for their fur babies, while I also (selfishly) am able to enjoy time with them. I'm usually home every day, but please let me know if your dog can be left alone in my apartment while I run to the store or the gym, or if they experience separation anxiety. I can take your dog to a dog park, long walks, or whatever is typical for their routine. If your dog is staying at my place, there is an area just outside my apartment specifically for dogs to use for short play. If your cat is staying with me, I do have a litter box - so you don't need to bring yours. Pets are allowed on my furniture and bed - if this is ok with you. I am also able to stop in for check-ins - checking food and water, or cleaning the litter box, etc. And I can stay for an hour or so, if you'd like - to keep your pet company!

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with my very first pet, a West Highland Terrier. Since then, I have gained years of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have worked with playful puppies, gentle seniors, and everything in between. These days, I spend a lot of time with my dog niece, a German Shepherd, so I am very comfortable with larger breeds and understand the energy and attention they require. What sets me apart is the natural connection I build with animals. I treat every dog as if they were my own. This includes assisting with crate training or simply being a calm and loving presence while you are away. I am reliable, patient, and always make sure pet parents feel informed and reassured through regular updates and personalized care for each dog’s unique personality. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to watch, walk, and care for pets throughout the day. Whether your dog needs regular walks, playtime, or simply some company, I can fit their needs into my daily and weekly routine to ensure they feel happy and well cared for while you are away. I provide care both in my home and at my clients’ homes, depending on what works best. I live alone with no kids or other animals, so your pet will have my full, undivided attention and a calm, quiet environment for their best comfort. At my place, I have a dedicated pet spa where I can give dogs relaxing baths and pampering. There is also a nice, safe walking area nearby where pets can enjoy exercise and fresh air. Whether your dog needs a soothing bath, a good walk, or just some quality time, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

“So wonderful! Thank you for taking such sweet care of our pup!”

“Penny had so much fun going for a walk in rock creek park, thank you so much for taking care of her!”
