Doggy Day Care in Washington Grove

“Shadid is amazing! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my puppy, Rudy, with someone else. From the moment we met Shadid, she was great with Rudy. I was concerned about Rudy getting anxious and being difficult to manage. I realized quickly that I had nothing to worry about with Shadid. Rudy was immediately comfortable with her. I don’t think he even noticed me leave because he was so excited to hang out with Shadid & Pebbles all day. Throughout the day, I received pictures of Rudy at the park and playing. It felt great knowing that Rudy was in good hands and having an amazing day. When I picked Rudy up, he was sad to leave! Rudy can be challenging and usually takes a while to warm up to people, so I was extremely impressed by Shadid’s ability to care for dogs. I would absolutely be comfortable leaving Rudy with Shadid again and am so grateful that I found her. If you love your dog and don’t know which sitter will be best, contact Shadid!! Your dog will have the best day and you’ll feel great knowing he/she is in good hands! From a professional standpoint, Shadid is excellent. I’m in medical school and was taking an exam during Rudy’s stay, so it was important to me that the sitter be professional. Shadid was perfect. She responds quickly and is completely reliable. I strongly recommend her!”

“My husband and I am so grateful to have found such an amazing doggy daycare and sitter for our Ace! Sophia has been so pleasant and so helpful to our family with our dog. We trust Sophia 100%. She genuinely cares and very knowledgeable about dogs. She has gotten to learn and know our Ace very well. She has provided excellent care, keeps him safe, entertained, and comfortable. I think Ace looks forward to seeing Sophia every Wednesday because he runs right out my arms into hers every time he is dropped off. I highly recommend her and Ace will be attending daycare with her for a while.”

“Gracie was wonderful with my dog! She took him in for daycare two days, back to back. On the first day, the minute I left him he was crying because he didn't want me to leave - and on the second day, he ran towards her wagging his tail, happy as can be! Will definitely be booking her in the future!”

“Bandit had a blast today spending the day with Nicole, playing with her dog Bobby and another neighborhood dog Lychee. He enjoyed the view from her place, had lots of play time but also cuddle time on the couch! Nicole sent regular updates with pictures and videos. I will definitely book her again!”

“Krista and Roger are our wonderful neighbors, and we recently started using them for occasional daycare for our dog, Grover. Grover loves spending time with Shyloh and their whole family. Krista’s incredibly responsive to my requests and any questions I have. We know Grover’s safe and loved when he visits Krista and Roger’s home!”

“Toby LOVES daycare at Kira’s! He is always so happy to go to her house in the morning and comes back tired. We really love and appreciate the photos of Toby that Kira puts in the Rover card and Kira always leaves a lovely note about Toby’s day like if he went to the school bus stop to pick up her son, if he had playmates during the day, or even if he guarded the door while she showered! It’s clear that Kira loves, cares, and understands dogs; for example, if her dog Jazz is still eating when Toby arrives, Toby gets a little bit of food too. We can tell from the photos and when we pick him up that Toby has the best time with Jazz, Kira, her son and husband.”

“Talina was great!! She made my labradoodle feel right at home with her while I was on vacation. It was clear from the photos she was comfy and happy.”

About: My wife and I are the owners of an almost 3 year old corgi. We worked with a trainer when he was a puppy and learned techniques on how to teach dogs desired behavior/commands. Since then, we have taught our dog important commands like “sit”, “stay”, “leave it”, and “ring the bell” (for when he needs to go to the bathroom 😅). He also learned fun, semi-useless tricks like “bang”, “spin”, "roll-over", and more! 😎. I had a couple dogs growing up that were well trained too. My wife works from home, so one or both of us will always be home. We usually walk our dog 1-2 times day (in addition to shorter potty breaks) and feed him twice a day (around 9 am and 7 pm). We like to play with Chico in the backyard (fetch and chasing) or play tug of war when we’re inside. On weekends, we don’t leave our dog by himself more than 4-5 hours max. If you trust us with your fur baby, we will accommodate whatever schedule your dog is on. We don’t have a fenced backyard, but we have woods behind us and a neighbor’s fence to the left of us that make it semi-private. If your dog doesn’t have strong recall, we will make sure to keep him/her on a leash when in the yard. Our house is mostly hardwood floors with several big area rugs. Dogs are allowed on the couches.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my extensive experience and genuine love for dogs. I've been caring for dogs since I was 16, giving me a deep understanding of their needs at various life stages. I have a special knack for training puppies, ensuring they receive the guidance and socialization they need to grow into well-behaved companions. Additionally, I have experience in caring for senior dogs, which requires patience and an understanding of their unique needs, such as administering medications and adjusting to mobility challenges. I also prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for every dog in my care. With a strong emphasis on exercise, play, and positive reinforcement, I tailor my approach to each dog's personality and needs, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. My friends and neighbors often rely on me to care for their dogs, which speaks to the trust and rapport I've built in the community. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, especially since I work from home. This arrangement allows me to provide consistent attention and companionship to the dogs in my care. Each day, I schedule regular breaks to walk, play, and engage with them, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I dedicate time for training sessions, particularly for puppies, helping them learn essential skills in a positive and supportive environment. With my flexible schedule, I can accommodate their needs, whether it's a midday walk or some extra playtime during breaks. Working from home also means that I can closely monitor their behavior and well-being, offering reassurance to anxious dogs and ensuring seniors get the care they need. My focus is on creating a nurturing environment where every dog feels loved and secure while I manage my work responsibilities. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, ensuring they feel relaxed and at ease. I have designated areas for play, rest, and feeding, and I maintain a clean and secure space to promote their health and well-being. My home is pet-friendly, equipped with plenty of toys and engaging activities to keep them entertained. I also have a cockapoo named Eevee, who loves to play and socialize with other dogs. My 8-year-old daughter is very energetic and enjoys spending time with dogs, providing additional companionship and playtime. Together, we engage in activities like fetch, agility exercises, and playful training sessions, ensuring all pets receive plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I believe communication with pet owners is essential, so I provide regular updates and pictures to keep them informed about their pets’ activities and well-being. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels loved and cared for while they are with us.

About: It's the best feeling to know you have a caring person to care for your dog while you're away. I am an avid dog lover, and owner of a 13-year-old, Shih Tzu. I am active and love outdoors. Allowing me to care for your dog, he/she will be in great hands. I can provide morning, afternoon, evening and weekend dog walks around your neighborhood, follow a regular routine, or even go to a favorite dog park. An important goal for me is to provide consistent high quality care, and a lasting relationship. I have the basic knowledge of dogs with a sense of humor/professional as well. Your dog will get attention & love just like he/she is my very own Shih Tzu, Tazz! Thanks I work part time out of the home for approximately 5 hours daily early hours, and home by 9 a.m. daily to provide the care for the doggies. I have the appropriate accessories setup for daycare and doggie care in my apartment. If any adjustments need to be made, willing to provide necessities as needed. I am currently working outside the home 4 hours daily; early hours 4:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m. I am available for doggie/kittie care in all aspects after 9:00 a.m. daily While I am in an apartment, I have arrangements for doggie care/separation, if needed, i.e. gated area/crate (in intervals) I allow free-run of the apartment, otherwise.

“I needed a sitter last minute for my little fur-baby and Ildiko came through to save the day! It was my first time using a sitter like this (my mom usually watches her) and I was sooo nervous! When my fiance dropped our little fur-baby off he said that our Adora knew right away that this was a good fit ? I got pictures and updates during the day which made me feel super comfortable. When we picked our little girl up she was was so tuckered out but super happy as well..I can tell she had so much fun and was well taken care of ☺️ I will definitely be using her services again!”

“Nana had a great time with Anna! We were able to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure my pup and Anna’s pup and kitties would get along. Anna had great communication and gave me updates and photos throughout the day. I would book Anna again!”

Alyssa W.

“My puppy, Buddy, loves Iwona! She took wonderful care of my puppy. I appreciated the early drop off time she offered and the frequent pictures and updates. Iwona knows dogs well and was very patient with my five month old boy. We look forward to seeing Iwona again!”

“Giesla and her family were awesome! I got pictures throughout the whole day and she was responsive to all my messages and questions. THANK YOUU”

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and walker, dedicated to providing exceptional care for animals. My passion for working with all types of pets drives me to ensure their well-being. I also offer services such as bathing and nail clipping when necessary. Whether you are on vacation or have a demanding work schedule, I can care for your pets in my home and take them for walks at any time! In the past, I have worked with five families, caring for pets of various sizes, including small, medium, and large breeds. On occasion, two of the dogs I walked would stay overnight at my residence. One particular dog required a strict diet and daily vitamins, which I diligently administered. My aspiration is to one day establish my own doggy daycare, as I am deeply passionate about my work! I am currently working as a on-call substitute teacher and have a lot of time available to take care of pets. I love meeting new families and pets. I live in a town house with a small yard in front of my house and also a locked patio. I will make sure all pets are safe during my care.
