Doggy Day Care in Unionville

“Emily is sooo great! She was extremely patient with our anxious dog; very communicative and sent updates (with photos) throughout the day. Her personality: warm, reassuring, professional. Her home: welcoming, tidy, located in a safe & quiet neighborhood. I would 100% recommend Emily as a sitter! We hope to use her services again & again!”

“I don't normally leave reviews... however... my labradoodle had a BLAST! The property is beautiful and very well kept and clean... Dan and his wife are totally awesome, caring and super attentive to my dog's needs. I was worry-free the entire day. I would highly recommend Dan for your pup's needs.”

“Ellen is great! She has a big heart and is an animal person through and through. We started out with a few boarding visits and now go to Ellen for day care every week. She’s very easy to work with and has a great location for dogs to run around/play/hike. Thanks Ellen!”

“Navetta was great with our beagle. She showed great care and took him on several walks during his day care stay. Communication was great. Would recommend and use Navetta again.”

Jonathan P.

“Jahnavi was great. She checked in mid day & provided many photos. I know my dog had a great time because he was plum tuckered out when he got home. Jahnavi even met me prior to our visit to make sure the dogs would get along. I would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been both cat and dog sitting independently since middle school, and I thought Rover would be a great opportunity while I’m in still in college! I am currently a full-time online student so I’m available to take care of you pets anytime! I have a very open availability and can most likely make anything work! I have two dogs of my own who love meeting new friends, and a very safe fenced in backyard with more than enough room to run! As for your home, I can work with anything!

“Rebecca's has been wonderful with our Baby Girl. I have never left Baby Girl with anyone due to her high level of separation anxiety but we are in Maryland for my husband's 50th High School Reunion so we didn't have a choice. I'm so glad that I chose Rebecca because she has been amazing. Baby Girl has had a good time at her house and went with Rebecca willingly Friday (her first day in doggy day care) which I knew Baby Girl sensed that Rebecca loved dogs and that she was safe with her sitter. Thank you Rebecca for putting us at ease and knowing that our fur baby is in good hands! I would highly recommend Rebecca and if the opportunity arises to book with Rebecca again we definitely will!”

“Erika was great. Quick to respond, asked questions about care for Lucy, and friendly! I’d definitely use her again in the future. Lucy loved her!”

“I needed a place to take my three little dogs during my open houses. I found Robin on Rover and am so happy I did! She and her two boys hosted my dogs so well. It was the best play date for them! They loved them like they were their own. I wish I had found Robin and her boys sooner!”

“She is THE BEST dog sitter! We take our pup Walter to her and her fiancé every weekday and I always feel at ease that he is getting the best possible care. I get picture and text updates throughout the day and beyond that, Chloe goes the extra mile. She contacted me immediately when Walter was peeing more frequently than usual and even took a sample for me to take to the vet when I picked him up, and offered to give him a medical trim to help when he goes to the bathroom. These guys are amazing.”

About: I have over 45 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages as well as many other types of animals that have honored me with living with me over the years (cats, horses, gecko, Madagascar hissing cockroach, parrots, flying squirrel, rabbits). My original dream was to become a vet so I have a background interning with veterinarian, working multiple years in a grooming and boarding facility and had my own very successful animal care and sitting business as a teenager. I have great nail trimming skills as well! Animals are naturally drawn to me and sense my love and respect for them. I work remotely so am pretty flexible with schedules. I also have taken the pet CPR course! I work remotely from home so am flexible in what I can offer. I feed my own pets multiple times a day and am able to monitor what is consumed. I also live in a beautiful community near parks for nice walks. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs who live next door who are always interested in playdates if desired. I work remotely so have flexibility in what I can offer clients. I do have a crate on premises if you do not have although I prefer (as do pets) for them to have their familiar one! There are friendly cats who live with me although I would likely gate off my kitchen / sunroom area where my office is so that I can supervise and ensure harmony with unknown pet if in my home.

I’m a stay at home mom so your pup will get plenty of love and attention while you’re away! Your pup will be cared for like our own! I have a fenced 1/2 acre fully secure backyard and two pups of my own to keep yours company! They’ll have a blast running around the yard and in our home.

“Thank you James and Mary for watching my pups at a last minute’s notice. I appreciate your updates throughout the day. The pups told me they had a wonderful time! Wendy T”

About: I have been in the pet care industry for the past 5 years. I have been relied on to walk, drop in, train, and even stay over night with pets. I fostered many dogs during Covid so many dogs have come through my door. From puppies to the ones scared of the wind, I am comfortable and understanding with many different dog types. From big to small, sweet to aggressive, I have seen and been around all. I have extensive knowledge on animal behavior and health with it being my greatest passion. I am a dog trainer using primarily positive reinforcement methods. Over the summers, I handle other people’s dogs and run them in agility. I train and compete with my own dog in Rally Obedience and placed 10th in the nation for intro to level 3 in WCRL in 2023. We just recently got our ARCHX title as well! I also can be found on Wag! With a 5 star review having over 50 completed services with happy clients and many more happy pups. I am a college student home for break doing this as a side gig trying to get some extra money for college expenses. While I’m home, I usually don’t have much going on other than training my own dog and volunteering at a dog training club. I will be available to walk and drop-in on your pet day or night. I will be available most weekends and weeks for consecutive services. I myself do a lot of walking, so I will be more than happy to take your dog on a nice long walk. The dog’s safety is my top priority. When outside, your dog will be under my watchful eye the entire time and on leash to ensure your pets safety unless I know it is safe otherwise to be off leash. I have a dog that loves to play with others, but if you decide that you don’t want your pet interacting with mine then that is completely understandable and can be done. I have crates available to crate your pet in overnight or if I need to step out of the house for a bit if needed. While at your house I will abide to your house rules and keep your pet both safe and comfortable while at your house.

About: I absolutely love dogs! I get butterflies just watching them learn new things and watching the "gears" turn as they learn and grow. I have patience for all ages from puppy to senior care. Currently working part time with a detection dog for the Baltimore Ravens so I have ample free time to watch and train your fur babies. I have a large fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company however Im also fine providing individual 1 on 1 attention and training.

About: I have been an ER nurse for over 13 years, and travel nurse for the past 6 years. I have seemed to emerse myself while on assignment volunteering at various animal shelters to give and receive much needed love while away from my permanent home. Would love to care for your fur baby as best as you would while you’re gone. I will be working 3 nights 7pm- 7am a week as a ER/Trauma RN. I would love to spend time during my days off taking your dog out to the park or on long walks, or even just reading next to your more inactive dog. I typical love to get a little exercise in the morning hours, after my shift between, 8-10am. I only work three days, and the days I need rest, I am still able to care for your pet with feeding and potty and walking needs. I have generally fostered pups on my assignments but would like to transition to caring for your animal while you’re away. Ideally I would do your same routine as you would, while you are gone. I’m in between contracts now and am taking time to look into at home related nursing jobs. My schedule is very flexible and can vary on your needs.

“Super job! Both dogs had a great time and we appreciate Sara's flexibility in letting us have a day off. We will definitely engage her services again. ”

About: Hi my name is Fran. I’m a stay at home Mom in Mt. Airy with a 2 year old and 5 year old and infant. We live on 5 acres, all fenced, across from the state park and in addition to 2 dogs have horses, chickens, and barn cats. Both me and my husband have owned dogs all our lives, as well as worked in animal care. Professionally, i have experience as a barn manager, dog groomer, dog walker, trainer, and dog handler. I boarded dogs while attending college in Richmond, and took a break to focus on my career. Now that I have more free time I’d like to start up again as I absolutely love it!!!! I care greatly about dogs and make sure that they are well taken care of with plenty of love and exercise. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all of my life. As a little kid my childhood dog was my constant companion and when I wasn't with him I was with the neighbors' dogs. In my twenties I moved to Alaska where I pursued a career in dog mushing and for two years lived with 120 dogs! Unfortunately due to frostbite I had to move back to the east coast. Meet my pets I have 2 dogs, Cash an Australian Shephard and Littles a mutt. Both love to play!! Cash is a puppy and will play all day long!! He loves every dog he meets. Littles is 14 and recently lost his sight, he’ll try and keep up with Cash but mostly he just loves to sleep. I also have 2 horses, Shadow and Dandy in their late twenties, too many chickens, and a barn cat. About my yard I live on five acres across from Patuxent State Park. We have a huge fenced in backyard, with lots of trails in walking distance! My experience administering medication Yes I have no problem administering medication. I’m currently a stay at home mom and almost always home so your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time!! My 5 year old is great with dogs and will give your animals plenty of love and attention!!! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run! Your dog will be let out frequently and get plenty of exercise!! I try and take the dogs for a long walk at least once a day. Your dog will have free roam of the house, but we are more than happy to crate if you provide one. Our dogs eat in the am and pm, however we can accommodate your dogs feeding schedule.

“Lora is trustworthy, kind and experienced when it comes to animal care! I felt comfortable knowing my puppy was being taken care of with so much attention to detail and love. I will be using Lora again!”
