Doggy Day Care Virginia-Highland

“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog babysitter! She was able to take my dog last minute, which helped me out so much, and from the start I felt completely at ease. She treated him so well and clearly cared about him like he was her own. She kept me updated with pictures and communicated consistently, which I really appreciated. It made such a difference knowing he was safe, happy, and in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I would definitely use her again!”

“Cole loved his stay! Thank you for taking such great care of him.”

About: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. After 16 years caring for my own dog through every stage of life, I learned that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs. I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and comfort level so they receive thoughtful, individualized care and feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My apartment community also has plenty of green space, making it easy to give dogs regular outdoor time and exercise while keeping them on a consistent routine. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special preferences to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. In my home, dogs also have access to a dog-proofed balcony where they can safely relax and enjoy fresh air under my supervision. I’ll provide regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a teenager—nearly 17 years! Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets as my own. As a lifelong dog mom (and even a former pre-vet student), I'm passionate about giving every furry friend the best care possible. I have hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, and dogs with illnesses or mobility issues, including administering medicine. I've also prepared meals for dogs with special diets and dietary restrictions, so I'm comfortable providing extra care when needed. Above all, I'll treat your fur baby like family, with the same love and attention I gave to mine. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of time to devote to your pups! I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends, and I also offer house-sitting and dog-walking with flexible scheduling. Your dogs will get lots of love, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I live in a cozy two-bedroom apartment with a furnished patio, and my neighborhood features three dog parks perfect for daily exercise and play. I can easily crate your pup if needed, and I also have a dog stroller and support ramp on hand for seniors or pups with special needs. My goal is to keep every pet safe, comfortable, and cared for just like my own.

“We were visiting for my birthday and wanted to go out but didn't want to leave our babies alone and there were many that weren't available but Akeeme came thru when I needed someone. My baby boy normally gives men a hard time but he did really well with him and I really appreciate it! If I'm ever in town again I will use him again and I'd recommend him to anyone visiting!”

About: I grew up with cats and adopted a rescue dog of my own in 2023. I have also worked at a Dog Daycare facility in Atlanta as a back of house attendant and have cared for every type of dog from a Frenchie to a German Shepard! Through that experience, I have become accustomed to dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperament. I am such a pet person and get along with every animal I meet! I have experience handling and navigating dog obedience and behavioral training, leash reactivity and dog reactivity training. I can handle any walk, long or short, and live a very active lifestyle. Should your dog or cat need an individualized experience, I am happy to provide space for that. I work full time during the week from 9-5. I have plenty of time after work for dog walks and am fully available on the weekends (and certain holidays), to walk, watch or house sit with your pets! I walk my own dog three times each day and live walking distance to the Beltline, quiet side streets, Old Fourth Ward park and the O4W dog park for plenty of exercise! I live in an apartment with my dog Wallaby! I am very attentive and will make sure your pets are fed, watered, and cared for on their schedule - not mine. Whether it’s a walk or house sitting, I will make your pet my top priority and am happy to provide 1-1 individualized attention!

“Daycare with Sarah was absolutely amazing!! We were in the area to visit for just a couple hours and needed my pup to stay somewhere she was super accommodating and updating me very well with pictures very quickly!!! Would definitely recommend!”

About: I've cared for puppies, kittens, senior dogs, senior cats, and everything in-between. I show up on time and make a special effort to bond with your furbabies. I know when I leave my own pup with someone, I want to make sure he is getting plenty of attention and I will do the same with your's. My 14 years of pet care experience is primarily being the sole caretaker for my own dog since he was a puppy and well into elder care, with a few pet sitting gigs a year. As of December 2025, I provide pet care full time and love it. To me this is my business, not my side gig. I enjoy applying my corporate customer experience background to develop my SOPs for ensuring your pet is well cared for me and you are receiving timely, organized updates. My onboarding process: we will have a meet and greet to review your expectations, familiarize your pets with me, and verify all parties are comfortable with each other. I offer this consultation complimentary and require it before booking a new client. After the meet and greet, I will summarize all the expectations and instructions we have agreed on in a Rover DM to you. I ask that you review and confirm everything. Only then will I click the book button. This process keeps everyone happy and on the same page so your furbaby gets everything they need to be happy! My housesitting guarantees: - never gone more than 6.5 hours at a time - with your dog the majority of hours of the day (12 or more hours) - I stay overnight - house cleaner than how I found it - custom quotes are available if your pet needs more time than what’s guaranteed here I make my own schedule so in most cases I can accommodate your's! :) Morning to afternoon is ideal but just let me know what you need. I respect your space and your furbaby. You are letting me into your home to care for your family and it's important to me that you feel at ease and can trust that everything will be as you expect it to be. I require a meet and greet for new clients to ensure we are on the same page about your fur baby and their routines. You can expect about 10 to 20 minutes of me asking you questions about your pet and you showing me their routines. Your pet needs to be there so they can get familiarized with me. If a walk is expected, I will also want us all to go on a walk together. I will send you a written summary of what we discussed to keep myself organized and for your peace of mind. Some other fun facts about me! I love to read! When house sitting I can often be found cuddled up with your dog reading a book, if they'll let me! Also, I love to cook and meal prep! When house sitting I bring with me everything I plan on eating and do not touch your food. Just microwave/coffee pot/air fryer if you have one. I also clean as a de-stressing activity. I am happy to give discounted house keeping services while I stay if you want to come back to shiny surfaces that are dust free, just ask! :) My clients often rave about how good I am with their pets and that I actually give them attention and bond with them. My regular repeat clients often comment on how excited their animals are to see me. They also often specifically mention how professional my communication is.

“Oladapo was easy to contact, quick to respond, and our dog immediately went to him for pets. Highly recommend!”

“Mikyah was amazing from the get go! She was super friendly, my dog (who has anxiety) took to her instantly and loved her! We were an hour away and were late and she was super flexible. Amazing experience, we’re definitely having Mikyah watch our pup again! Thank you for being wonderful! :)”

“Lori was wonderful at caring for our fur babies while we visited the Aquarium. This was our first experience leaving then with someone they weren't familiar with, and it went great. She was very good with sending updates and pictures. You could tell they got plenty of attention and we're very comfortable with Lori.”

“Ayanna is amazing - extremely kind and responds to your messages instantly! She made sure my anxious dog felt at home and was lovely! Will definitely use again!”

“Chiara was amazing. My dog, Aladdin, had the best time. Will definitely book again.”

“Crystal made my dog feel comfortable and loved right away, and she also shared a lot of information with me about her deep experience caring for dogs, the community she lives in, and her plans for the day, which made me feel comfortable too. She sent lots of photos and videos, mixed some healthy, homemade food with his kibble (which he loved), and gave him a dry bath before I picked him up. He was happy and so handsome afterwards!”

Jean C.

“One of the most incredible first day experiences for daycare. Rockie was happy, well exercised, so great! Kristen came over and met her the day before, was very careful how she introduced herself and rockie to other dogs. True professional and someone we will continue to use for care of our fur baby! happy dog parents over here ☺️”

Cory K.

“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my puppy Amos with someone new. Samma made me feel very comfortable by telling me about the other dogs in the home, introducing Amos to the dogs one-by-one, and sending me updates throughout the day. Amos had a great time and we are looking forward to our next day of day-care with Samma and Ricard!”
