Doggy Day Care in Silver Spring

About: I’ve raised my own dog since she was a puppy. I have trained and cared for 15 rescued dogs through this agency, including 4 puppies. I believe that every dog is unique and should be treated accordingly. When it comes to my parenting style, I am very patient and consistent. I love playing with dogs, going on long walks and visiting dog parks. We have a declawed cat named Miley Cyrus. For the most part, Miley gets along with all the dogs that come into our home. She does have her little diva moments when she gets a bit sassy with the dogs, but she is not aggressive at all. Overall, I am an outgoing, caring and observant individual. Your dog will absolutely love spending time with me! I’m currently working from home, so that allows me more time to dedicate to your pet. I'm available for boarding, check-ins and walks during the week. I love to give dogs the attention and love they deserve. I understand being on a schedule and routine, so I’m able to follow the care instructions of the owners. I’ve had my share of doggy sickness and I know how to properly look out for symptoms and take care of the pups. We live in a safe and dog-friendly apartment complex. There are tons of dogs to socialize with during walks and I love to go to parks for walks as well.

“We are so thankful to Harriman for taking such good care of Tortie during the day for a week! Tortie has separation anxiety and has a hard time being alone, but he seems to have felt comfortable here. Harriman sent lots of photos and video updates, which reassured me that our dog was doing well.”

“This is the second time Sofia took care of Scoot and she did such a wonderful job with him that he was excited to go with her and felt at home with her!”

“I was really impressed with Jason N. and can't recommend him highly enough! My pup is a shy rescue with separation anxiety, but she immediately felt right at home at Jason N.'s and was having so much fun with the wonderful resident dog that she barely noticed when I left. I received regular updates on her day that completely assuaged any concerns I'd normally have, and when I picked her up at the end of the day I found her happy, relaxed, and all played-out. Having someone I really trust to watch Stella is an immense piece of mind, and I'll definitely be calling Jason N. next time I need a sitter.”

“Brioche had a blast with Johanna and her dog Scruffy! It was clear she was in good hands with Johanna and her dog Scruffy is very social and playful and they had a great day playing together.”

“Julio was friendly and gracious when we dropped Pepé off. He sent photos and updates throughout the day. Our little guy enjoyed meeting new friends and playing in the yard. If we stay a bit longer or return to the area we will definitely be reaching out to Julio!! Thanks so much!!”

“Great communication and very happy with the daycare visit as a first time app user! Will definitely book again if I’m in the area!”

“Stephanie took wonderful care of my puppy Barry. He played with her puppy and loves staying at her house. Would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for daycare and puppy care.”

“An absolute doll ! My pup loved it here, when he got home he was koeddd ( exactly what I wanted) I will absolutely bring him back, great communication and he looked happy the entire time.”

“For as long as I know Rebecca, she’s always been a great dog owner, Charlie Brown (her dog), gets the greatest care any pet can get: long walks 2 or 3 times a Day, she is taking him out for potties very 4 hours, and the snuggles, almost all the time. She is respectful and serious when it comes to caring for any dog.”

“Fitz came home from her daycare stay with Amanda and Andrew so happy and ready for a nap! Amanda has been so easy to communicate with, and hosted us for a brief meet and greet before Fitz’s first stay. She asked lots of great questions about how to keep Fitz safe and happy, and drop-off/pick-up were a breeze. We so appreciate the peace of mind knowing our little girl is being treated like family. Amanda also sent pictures during the day so we could see our pup living her best life. We (and especially Fitz) can’t wait until next time!”

“Katherine was great. I made an appointment at the last minute and she was able to accommodate my needs. She provided alot of pictures throughout the day.”

“I called victoria to sit with benny on very short notice, like 30 minutes, and she was able to accommodate us. He has settled in over there nicely, and has seemed to be in fine spirits both days I picked him up”

“My dog was happy when I came back! Everything was great and finding Shantell's house was super easy. We were just visiting DC but when we return we will likely message her again!”

“Sophia is Coco’s new daycare provider on the days I have to go into the office. She’s kind, patient, knowledgeable, and attentive to his needs. We met in advance of Coco’s first day with my trainer and she worked on training drills with Coco which she didn’t have to do, but wanted to. I can’t believe I got so lucky the first time. Highly recommend!”

“Frankie has started to care for my senior fur babies. It is really hard for Leah to separate from me, but Frankie made her feel very comfortable. I will be traveling in a few weeks and the test run with Frankie was amazing. My fur babies Luke and Leah have always traveled with me and I am looking forward to them staying with her. Frankie is one of the best people in the world to take care of your pet and I am glad that I found her.”

“Johanna puts her whole heart into caring for pets as well as their owners. She is 100% reliable. She is a compassionate friend and caregiver to any animal.”

About: TRAINED PET CARE PROFESSIONAL Hi, I live in downtown Silver Spring and people find it very convenient to drop off their pets with me. My building has a dog park, and there are two others plus a wooded area right in back of me. You can trust me with your precious pets. I do this full time and have years of experience. Some sitters are young, inexperienced, and unreliable. I trained as a vet assistant, trainer and groomer. I'm also an experienced dog owner and petsitter. I'm pet first aid certified and know all the local vets. Dog training seminars and pet care industry trade shows throughout the year allow me to offer advice and referrals if desired. Why settle for someone with another job when your dog will have my undivided attention? Don't settle for less. My dog loves afternoon playtime and so will yours. Due to space limitations I can only board small and toy breeds, dogs under 20 lbs., sorry. For larger dogs I'm available for pet sits in your home, where your dog is most comfortable anyway. I can offer basic grooming, bath and trim, small dogs only at this time. I'm a college grad, reliable and responsible. Your best friend is safe with me. I'm a full time animal lover with lots of time to spend with furry friends! My life revolves around their schedule of feeding, playtime and of course walks. My building has a dog park and there are two others just across the street. I have crates available for time outs and naps so dogs so don't get over-excited. But mostly they're on the couch with me and they seem to like it that way. I strive to deserve your trust and that of your precious pets with responsible and loving care. The kindness we show our little charges is usually repaid tenfold and that's the fun of working with animals

“Tinyiko has boarded my dog many times! She has kept him for a couple of days each time. She is very caring and loving towards my dog. She walked him multiple times a day and has taken him to get pup cups from Starbucks. I trust her to keep my dog safe and to treat him as if he is her own. I highly recommend Tinyiko!”

“Justin was an excellent dog sitter for my two Austrslian Shepherds. He was thorough and responsible taking care of Luke and Jasmine as well as we would. He gave them so much love and attention. It was so nice not to worry and enjoy our vacation. We loved how he sent pictures and updates to keep us updated on how happy they were. We will book Justin again for our next adventure so Luke and Jasmine can have their fun vacation with him.”
