Doggy Day Care in Waverly Hills, Arlington, VA

“My boys Biscuit and Waffles are very lucky to have a such a wonderful sitter in Leonard! He’s warm, patient, and confident with my boys, who always come home from a visit with Leonard and his family in the best energy. Leonard is on point with communication before and during dog-sitting sessions. My favorite part: the regular update pics of the boys interacting with Leonard’s family (human and fur babies), which show everybody relaxed and chilled in their home. Good vibes all around!”

“Highly recommend! Simone was nice, empathetic, and patient! She sent regular updates on our dog with photos and videos. She let our dog sit on her lap while she was working. As a dog parent herself, she clearly knows how to take amazing care of pups!”

“Fiona was great and I’m glad she was able to take Jäger when my request was made a little last minute. Jäger is high energy and was exhausted when we got back home which is amazing. He’s usually a little high energy in his first day somewhere new and i feel he was in great hands! I’ll definitely use Fiona again!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and strangers alike ever since I graduated and moved to DC in 2019! It all started because I had such a deep love for dogs, but was not yet ready to have one of my own. Nowadays, I share an adorable little mutt with my boyfriend, and we split the care for her fairly evenly. Because of this, if you’re interested in boarding your pet, they need to be friendly with other dogs; ours absolutely LOVES them. Otherwise, I am happy to pet sit at your residence. Additionally, I have experience with elderly dog care and will cater to whatever their needs are. I’m a full-time corporate girlie with a flexible, hybrid work schedule. I’m normally in the office 2-3 days/week, but can work from home the entire duration of your pet’s stay, if that is desired. I’m happy to work with you to create the exact level of care and attention you desire for your doggo. Your pet would have free rein of the house while we’re home and would be kept in a separate room/ crate than our dog when we’re away. We do have a yard, although it’s not fenced in, so we let our dog run around on a 50 ft leash in the backyard; we could do the same for your dog!

“Guy helped us out when we needed a Doggie Day Care while we were visiting Arlington National Cemetery for an interment. We didn't know how long the 3 ceremonies would take, and he told us that he would help us for whatever we needed. With all that was going on for us, he offered comfort in taking care of our beloved Toby.”

“Scruffy loved his three days of doggy daycare with Miryam! She took him for lots of walks and he came home very happy. She was a great communicator and we look forward to seeing her and her husband again!”

About: Experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and small pets—feeding, walking, grooming, administering medication, and providing loving attention. Reliable, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. I am a full time accountant that works from home with plenty of time and flexibility to accommodate pups needs. I am available weekdays and weekends. I live in a smoke free, child free apartment complex with my husband. I can only care for one pet at the time and I do not have any other pets.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11, so being around pups has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up with dogs taught me not just the basics of feeding, walking, and playtime, but also the patience and attentiveness needed to understand each dog’s unique personality. I know how to handle energetic play sessions, but I’m just as comfortable giving gentle care and companionship to older dogs who need a slower pace. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as if they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s keeping up with a puppy’s training or providing extra TLC to a senior pup, I adapt to each dog’s needs with genuine care and attention. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine—I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize walks, playtime, and companionship around your pup’s needs. Living in Arlington with two roommates, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for pets. Our home has a large fenced backyard for playtime, a cozy porch for lounging, and a warm Ballston neighborhood perfect for walks. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on safety, comfort, and trust—treating each pup like family.

“Forrest & Stephanie were amazing! They really welcomed our dog, Beignet, into their family for the day. They updated us with pictures throughout the day & Beignet was a happy pup!”

“Elise was a great sitter for chai. He had such a wonderful day with her (and her golden retriever!) that he slept all of the next day!! Chai immediately loved Elise and didn’t turn around as he headed off with her so we will definitely be booking again.”

“We use Rover all the time and this was our BEST rover experience. Yiting was very responsive and took Maggie to so many new parks and places to explore. Maggie gets so excited when she sees Yiting during drop off, and I know she is incredibly well cared for. Will absolutely use again!”

I’ve raised two dogs of my own and currently live with a much-loved cat. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and deep understanding of animal behavior.

I’m also experienced with basic puppy training and feel comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every pet like family—with plenty of love, consistency, and attention to detail—because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m organized, flexible, and committed to giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience. In your home, I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. If pets are in my home, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment where they’re never left alone for long and always treated like part of the family. --- ### My Pet Care Expertise My life has always been deeply intertwined with animals. From chattering birds and curious hamsters to graceful fish, independent cats, and loyal dogs of all sizes, I've had the joy of growing up with a diverse range of beloved family pets. This lifelong immersion in animal companionship, including personally owning both small and large dogs alongside my current cat, has given me invaluable insight into their unique personalities and needs. Today, my passion for pets continues through the routine care I provide for our **neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats**. This hands-on, consistent experience means I'm adept at maintaining routines, understanding different temperaments, and ensuring every furry guest feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved in a family environment. You can trust that your pet's well-being is my absolute priority. ---
