Doggy Day Care Wolf Trap

“Loreen was really patient with Milo, who is a bit skittish around strangers. She took the time to get him acquainted with her house, yards and kids. She and the kids genuinely love Milo and she sent great pictures of his stay at her house. I’ll definitely use her again!”

About: We’re a dependable mother–daughter pet-sitting team with 30 years of combined experience caring for, training, fostering, and loving animals of all shapes and sizes. 🐾 Over the years, we’ve cared for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, birds, fish, and many other pets. Our own family has included Whippets, Labs, Shepherds, Mastiffs, Basset Hounds, and Chihuahua mixes, and as sitters and fosters we’ve cared for many more breeds—including Bulldogs, Retrievers, Huskies, Poodles, Mountain Dogs, Great Danes, and plenty of wonderful mixed breeds. 🐕 🐕‍🦺 🦮 🐩 One of us is working toward dog-training certification, and we both have puppy-training experience. 🦮🚶‍♀️ We gently reinforce good habits, routines, and leash manners through patience, consistency, TLC, and positive handling. Most importantly, we understand that every pet has its own personality, pace, and needs. As home owners ourselves who have lived in three different neighborhoods in the DMV, we specialize in providing attentive, respectful, and reliable care while keeping your pets comfortable in the surroundings they know best--your home! When your pet stays with us, they become part of the family. Our home is set up with safety and comfort in mind, with a secure fenced yard, indoor gates, and separate spaces when pets need a little room of their own. Our designated pet areas—including our family room—are cleaned at least once daily and stocked with plenty of blankets, toys, and chew toys. 🪢 🥎 🧺 (See photos attached to our profile). Our cats stay comfortably upstairs, giving them their own space away from visiting dogs. Most important, someone is always home with your pets. They get lots of companionship, attention, affection, and access to our outdoor space whenever they want it. What we offer with our services: 🏡 Fenced yard 👩‍👧 Mother–daughter care team with 30 years combined experience 🏠 Someone is always home 🐶 No more than 2 dogs/families boarded at one time 🎓 Dog-training experience/certification in progress 🐕 Experience with everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes ❤️ Dogs treated as part of the family Mom is the primary sitter, with her daughter—an apprentice vet and lifelong animal lover—often helping out. We’d love to provide reliable care for your pets at home or welcome them into our home! ❤️ We are currently working flexible hours and one of us is out of school for the summer, so we have plenty of time and flexibility to play with your pups! When we welcome you pets into our home, someone is always home with them. We are experienced dog walkers comfortable caring for pets in urban, suburban, park, and country settings. Whether your dog enjoys neighborhood walks, park outings, or a calmer pace, we adjust to each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. For pet sitting in our home, we have a gated kitchen/family room area where pets can stay safely with us, as well as a fenced patio where they can get fresh air and companionship. We have the ability to separate your pets from other pets if that helps them feel secure. We can also crate your pet if that is part of their normal routine or helps them feel secure.

“Highly recommend Kiran. We were able to do a meet and greet prior to make sure our dogs felt comfortable and got along. We were sent pictures and videos throughout the day which made us so happy to see how at home our pup had made herself, and how welcomed she was into their home. I’m so happy to have had Penny cared by Kiran and will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”

About: I provide thoughtful, home-based care for dogs who thrive in a calm and structured environment. As a work-from-home sitter, I’m able to give consistent attention, supervision, and a steady routine throughout the day. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety. What sets me apart is that I keep things intentionally small and controlled. I take the time to understand each dog’s needs, and prioritize a low-stress experience with plenty of outdoor time, gentle structure, and a secure fenced yard. I also require a meet-and-greet to ensure the right fit, so every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after.I keep my care intentionally small so each dog gets consistent attention and a calm environment. Doggy care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am able to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day.Dogs in my care are part of a calm, structured routine that includes regular outdoor time in my fenced yard, walks on nearby trails ( My fenced backyard opens directly to walking trails for easy access to outdoor time and walks) along with plenty of time to rest and relax indoors. I build my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure they get a good balance of activity, attention, and downtime. On a weekly basis, I keep things predictable and low-stress, which helps dogs settle in comfortably. I’m mindful about not overbooking, so each dog receives the time and attention they need without feeling overwhelmed. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, their care and routine remain consistent so they feel safe and at ease... When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow each dog’s feeding schedule, potty routine, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Dogs have regular access to my fenced yard for bathroom breaks and outdoor time, along with walks on nearby trails depending on their energy level. Inside the home, dogs are given a calm space to relax and are never left unsupervised for long periods since I work from home. I introduce dogs thoughtfully and only take on a small number at a time to maintain a safe and low-stress environment. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall comfort, and I communicate with owners if anything seems off. My goal is to make their stay feel predictable, safe, and as close to their home routine as possible.

“Yichen is a great sitter! We had a meet and greet before our first stay so that she could get to know my dog better. I think thanks to that, my dog’s stay went smoothly the next day. I appreciate her flexibility and friendliness, and I can tell my dog enjoys her stays at her place. Yichen has a playful shih tzu named Ube that my dog loves playing with. Overall, Yichen is a 10/10 sitter!”

About: I've always been the family, friend, & neighbor go-to for pet care! I'm friendly, reliable, and I have a huge heart for furry friends. Your baby will be happy and free to roam the home all the time and play with an energetic, pup-friend (my boxer/hound rescue). Daily walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love are guaranteed. I am comfortable administering medicine, and your pup is welcome on the furniture. Any questions just ask! I am a teacher who is home weekends and most school holidays and can pick up/drop off your pet if needed. Last minute & holiday bookings are welcome. I have a large crate and access to smaller crates if needed. Otherwise, pets are welcome to roam free indoors all day & night. I'm in a 2 bedroom, garden-style condo. with a small patio that pups can be on a lead if they like. Otherwise, we can go to a little-known dog park that is grass surface and play for an hour every day (depending on weather). In your home, I can play with your pup, feed, medicate, whatever is needed. Overnights at my home are easy with last minute bookings. Thanks for reading :)

About: I absolutely love taking care of my family's dogs! I especially enjoy going for walks with them when I'm at home. I absolutely love taking care of dogs! They depend on us for their needs and affection, especially when they're in a new environment. It's so rewarding to give them the love and care they deserve! I'm available before 7 a.m. and after 10 a.m. to go for a walk! I'll make sure to take them for a walk in the perfect weather, so they're not too cold or too hot. I love going for long walks before 3 or after 6 in the afternoon! I have a small dog, and he is part of my family! In my house, the dogs will have a space where we will receive them with the same affection as our dog. He will be free to walk all over the house, he will have his place to be fed, and a comfortable space to take a nap! We are flexible with our schedules because we understand that sometimes there are last minute activities that are out of our control. Your dog will receive all the care it needs, including proper feeding and walks, according to its routine. The house we live in is part of an excellent community. The complex is enclosed and has open spaces for pets to walk, which makes the area safe and quiet.

“Jennifer took wonderful care of my small little Yorkie and her dog Sunny was such a gentle playmate! I was so grateful to leave my dog in such a sweet, loving home and will definitely book again!”

About: I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them! We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice I live in an apartment with ample walking nearby. Super dog friendly neighborhood. We have space to set up crates if needed. I am a neat person and will clean up after myself and the dogs.

About: Over the past 20 years, I’ve had three dogs, a Pomeranian, an Akita, and a Yorkshire Terrier. Each one had a different personality, but they were all very attached to me. None of them went to a training school, but they were all well-behaved. I trained them myself before they turned one year old. I currently live in a clean, quiet, pet-free home. There are no pets living in the house at this time, so visiting dogs will not have to share the space with other animals or adjust to another pet’s presence or scent. I only accept small dogs up to 20 lbs and prefer low-shedding breeds. My home provides a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed during their stay. I’m home most of the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone. Big park around the house. Like walk and play with dog. Small dogs need lots of attention and one-on-one care, which is why I only host one dog at a time. I follow each owner’s feeding routine and do not give dogs any human food. Small dogs can have sensitive stomachs, so I believe consistency is important. My goal is to provide a quiet, comfortable, clean, and healthy environment where every dog can feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

“Alexa did a fantastic job taking care of our Frenchie. He had a medical procedure on Friday and she was fine with keeping an eye on him. I will definitely call her again.”
