Doggy Day Care in Woodburn on the Potomac

“Kelli was accommodating and shared pictures throughout the day. Maverick appeared to enjoy being with Kelli and played well with the other dogs in the household.”

“Jaclyn saved us in a pinch and watched our energetic pup with less than a day’s notice. We couldn’t be happier with the day care. We knew Walter had a blast because he passed out immediately in the car. To top it all off he was ready at pick up with a printed report card, a nice portrait, and a seasonal scarf. Unexpected, but a nice surprise. Thanks for taking care of our boy!”

“I was nervous because I've never used this app or left my dog with anyone. Charlie made me feel super comfortable. He showed me the space, showed that he had read her profile, and took such good care of her. She had ample space and friends to run and play with, but Charlie also gave her cuddles when she started to get anxious, which I truly appreciate.”

Savannah S.

“Lejune & Mike were amazing. Our puppies came home so happy and worn out from all of the playing. I was nervous about dropping them off however Lejune eased my worries! She was very thorough with her questions regarding how to care for our babies. They will definitely be going back.”

“Everything went well. It was a last minute request, and and they were very accommodating and flexible. Thanks again to Robert, Gigi, and Peanut.”

Kathryn L.

“So happy to have used Tori for the day! Our Smooth Fox Terrier is always happy and content to be with her and her family! We always feel she gets loving attention and care!”

Mary Katherine H.

“Wonderful sitter! You can tell she really cares about her campers. We have our baby scheduled with her for a long weekend and I fully trust her to provide excellent care. My little baby is my pride and joy :)”

Ashley S.

“Heidi treats Milo as if he’s her own! I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in her care. She sent lots of photos and ensured he had fun all day! :)”

Patty S.

“I felt super nervous starting Daisy at yet another daycare but as soon as I met Kelly, she made me feel comfortable with leaving Daisy with her. I even woke up to a pic of my Daisy girl relaxing and comfortable as can be!”

Cherie H.

“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs/cats since a young age. I love all animals and taking care of them! Currently, I am caring for my 2 cats and leopard gecko! I only work weekends so I am free all weekdays to be able to take care of your pets! I am no longer able to do house sitting because I now have a baby to take care of, but if they are good with kids and cats, your pet is more than welcome to come stay with us! I do prefer having the option to crate so if issues do arise or if I need to step out, I can do so easily.

“Wonderful. Dave not only took care of my dog but helped me by picking Junior up and dropping him off. Junior was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Dave to help you with doggy day care or longer stays if needed.”

“I can’t thank Terry enough for going above and beyond to care for our pup, Bravo. Our puppy is a handful and very high energy. Bravo adapted quickly and by the end of the day, I’m pretty sure he was bummed to come home. Their property is amazing for dogs and we couldn’t be happier with the communication, pictures/video sent, and the overall experience. We plan to use Terry again the following week. Highly recommended!”

About: As a work-from-home father, my flexible schedule accommodates needy pups or cats requiring frequent visits or overnight care. I currently have 2 small dogs and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. If you live in this area, I'm here for you! I also run (slowly) so if you have a dog that wants to run off energy for a few miles, I'm in! I work from home with minimal meetings (about 5 hours/week.) so I can make frequent visits during the day or even take my computer over to your place if you have good wi-fi! I have a fenced-in backyard of about 3/4 an acre. My two small dogs are friendly and we are glad to introduce them if this interests you and your dog. Our dogs have free run of the house and sleep on the bed.

“Nadia took the time to get to know me and Walter's needs, before just accepting any offer! I was greeted with smiling faces (her and her 3 kids), and right away Walter was home away from hom! During his time there he also became besties with their family dog and really enjoyed how much attention they gave him. He came back to me completely pooped and I appreciate Nadia's attentiveness to Walter !”

About: I really like dogs and will ensure your dog has a great walk and playtime!! I have owned German Shepherds and Yellow Labs as well as worked with dogs in military, police, and civilian work. Always available to help when needed! Will care for your pet like you would and can send pics and videos throughout the time of care! Thank you!! I currently am home full-time and would enjoy taking your dog for walks or play-time. I can take them out at your house, to a park or area of your choice, or my house as it has a spacious yard. Please reach out for any needs you may have!! I look forward to it! My house is spacious…wood floors downstairs. I would let the dog roam around the house and however you would want the dog to sleep (open roam, cage, room…whatever you are comfortable with). I can also send pictures through the night or day as well. My yard is also fenced in.

About: I love dogs and puppies! I used to foster a blue nose pit bull and a miniature golden doodle. Both of them were puppies when I took them in and I enjoyed watching them grow. I live in an a townhouse in very pet friendly neighborhood with a moderate fenced in backyard and a lot of places to go for a walk. My home has a nice layout with space for your dogs to stretch their legs. I work from home full time so my schedule is VERY flexible and my weekends are free as well. I haven’t had a foster puppy in over a year and I miss having a little one running around at home. I do have young kids at home so a kid-friendly dog is a must. I have a flexible work from home job and a fenced in yard! I’m up early and go to bed late so there will be no issue taking care of your pet. I treat all pets as if they were my own. They are free to roam and climb on the couch as long as they are house trained.

About: I wholeheartedly appreciate integrity, transparency, and respect - trusting someone with your family is not something to take lightly in today's world! Here’s a quick rundown on me to help YOU decide if/how I'm a good a fit for your fur family! I spent 5 yrs on the United States Humane Society’s animal rescue team & district leader programs (experience with a variety of topical and intramuscular medications, ages, sizes and temperaments, Dog First Aid/CPR certified, catered to special needs, coordinated canine engagement and enrichment, it was an incredible chapter of my life!). I’ve also spent 5 yrs as volunteer Fire/EMS and then started a holistic nutrition & natural health practice, which all together has given me the experience & afforded me more time with one of the things I cherish most: DOGS. They’re the most selfless animals I’ve loved learning how to communicate with and being there to love if/when you can’t. I’m 31 yo with 2 dogs of our own and love making them feel like family! I’d love to help take care of your fur babies while you’re away! My hope is you can rest easy knowing your pet and home are in loving, knowledgeable hands while you’re away. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME - SAFETY: I’ve learned to never get complacent & reasonably prioritize situational awareness for your pets like I would my own family (strangers, locking doors, choking hazards, health emergencies, etc). LOVE: dogs make our days so much better and I love to fill their day(s) with the joy, laughter, and belly rubs they deserve! INTEGRITY: I say what I mean and I do what I say! Trust & transparency are hard bridges to build back once burnt so with clear expectations set, your dog(s) will be cared for exactly the way you ask them to be no matter how simple or complex their routine may be (with lots of photos/videos along the way!). WHAT I’D LOVE FROM YOU - COMMUNICATION: every dog is different with unique needs so please never hesitate to promptly specify what your dog(s) need more/less of! OBEDIENCE: I never expect perfect obedience!! But I do believe manners are important. I've been (unintentionally) injured, seen dogs damage property, and believe setting boundaries (lovingly) is important if we want to coexist! With the HSUS, I was taught how to train basic obedience using Pavlovian pairing/classical conditioning techniques (ex: rewarding for what’s acceptable, creating opportunities to praise, replacing minimal physical correction with verbal correction for desired outcome, etc) and witnessed all breeds learn better behaviors with consistent guidelines. However I only offer training and will never praise or correct behavior unless asked. Otherwise, the only behavior I'll stop is any behavior that harms your pet(s), people, or property. Services: 🏠 DAYCARE/OVERNIGHT: a fun way for me to supervise your pup while they socialize and play at home away from home! We’re grateful to have hvac, a fenced yard, clean carbon filtered water, and plenty of antlers to share. We love welcoming 1 dog to stay (and snuggle) with us and our crew (2 female dogs, 1 toddler) where they’ll get greeted with belly rubs over coffee and talked to like family throughout the day! Plenty of yard to roam, a dedicated den to make their own (toys, beds, blankets, etc), and way more opportunity to go potty/exert energy than 2-3 drop-ins. You pack the food and maybe their favorite treats, I’ll make sure they feel right at home with daily pictures/videos throughout the stay! Daycare: $60/daily | Overnight: $70/daily Availability: Monday-Sunday 🦮 DROP-INS/DOG WALKS: they’re essentially the same service (same price!)! In theory, “drop-ins” are potty breaks/playtime for dogs with fenced in yards, large open properties, dogs who spend most of their time inside, or need more than a walk… while “dog walks” are leashed walks around your neighborhood. In my book, they both include lots of belly rubs, playtime, poop pickup, cleaned dog bowls/fresh water, meals & meds, and tons of time outdoors. 1-3 dogs $25 | 3+ dogs $30 Availability: Monday-Sunday HOUSESITTING: I no longer offer “overnight” housesitting but I do as many visits as you’d like, so your pups still enjoy steady company in the comfort of home sweet home. Always includes walks or potty breaks daily, meals & meds, playtime & exercise, lots of cuddles for dogs who’d rather snuggle than play, and light tidying up (clean dog bowls, poop pickup, quick sweep) so you come home to your space the way you left it. See drop-in/dog walk pricing. CAT CARE: more than willing to help with cat care for clients already paying for dog care (no cat-only services). Includes meals & meds, snuggles, playtime, and cat litter. On average its only an extra $5-15 total (depending on duration of stay). A note on distance/radius: please keep in mind Rover takes 20% of my rate, so in order to make a profit after gas and Rover fees, I only offer dog walks within a certain radius. Please touch base with any Qs! I'd love to help! WARNING: malicious inquiries have definitely come through so we'll schedule a free 20-30 minutes together beforehand! $20 OFF for first time clients when you use Danika 20 at rover.com/sit/danikalauren $20 OFF when you refer a neighbor/friend who books any service. Rover asks, “describe a typical visit.” A worn out dog is a happy dog! Walking is such a great opportunity to train & reinforce commands together too. But potty breaks, a game of fetch, tug, toys that release treats, ropes, stuffed animals, a local park, or snugglin on the couch can be just as interactive! I also know the stress that comes with living in various types of locations: our own dogs have lived on a busy road and a wide open farm. While I'm so proud of how obedient they've been off leash all these years, I know recall takes time to train so I’m more than willing to entertain your dog(s) on leash or in your yard. I understand they're domesticated animals that depend on us to supervise them! The least intimidating introductions, positive body language, smiles, belly rubs, and sticking to routines you've already built for them to make them feel as comfortable as possible!

“Great experience and service and Boodah loved going back each day. Kierstan was awesome and helped me navigate some tricky scheduling changes around festival performances. 10 stars!”

“Stephanie was such an attentive caretaker! Thanks for all the pictures by the way. Hazel loved it at your place, with all the toys and the pool, and places to play. It was very good for her to make friends and play with your dog Ellie as well! Thanks for being such a great dog sitter.”
