Annabel Solutions
Comfy, Cozy
In-Home Dog Care
I provide personalized, in-home dog care designed to give your pup all the attention, love and structure they deserve. With more than 10 years of hands-on experience, I care for every detail — from feeding routines and administering medication to daily two-mile “spa” walks and plenty of one-on-one time.
Your dog will enjoy a spacious, fenced-in yard and a calm, nurturing home environment where comfort and happiness are always the priority. You’ll stay connected with regular photos and videos so you can see just how much fun your pup is having.
Conveniently located near the Beltway in Bethesda, my home-based dog care makes drop-offs and pick-ups easy. Early mornings, late evenings — I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible.
You can feel confident knowing your dog is safe, loved and treated like family in a cozy home setting.
I’ve created a calm, comfortable home environment where dogs are treated like family. I intentionally keep the number of dogs small so each one receives plenty of individual attention and care. There are no crates here — just cozy blankets on the furniture so everyone can relax and feel completely at ease.”

Why dogs love it here
-
PERSONALIZED ATTENTION: In my home, your dog will receive one-on-one care tailored to his/her needs, unlike kennels where dogs often have to compete for attention. The smaller number of dogs ensures your pet is treated like family.
-
LESS STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT: Dogs can feel overwhelmed in a large kennel environment with constant noise and many unfamiliar animals. My home offers a quieter, more comforting atmosphere that feels like home.
-
REGULAR UPDATES: I snap photos of the dogs I'm caring for throughout the day and keep you connected and reassured about their well-being. This level of communication is rare in larger kennel settings.
-
CONSISTENCY IN CARE: I closely follow the routines your dog is accustomed to and administer all medicines and regular walks. All of this makes your dog feel more comfortable and less anxious while you're away.
-
HOME-LIKE COMFORT: Your dog will experience the comforts of a real home rather than a sterile kennel environment, with cozy spaces, individualized playtime and plenty of outdoor walks, leading to a more enjoyable stay.
Annabel is incredible and ensures your dog is cared for exactly as you would care for them! She goes above and beyond and you never have to worry for a single second when your dog is in her care."

Annabel is absolutely amazing in everything she does. Daisy is always excited and happy to be with her. I have no doubt that she is safe and extremely well cared for."
Daisy's mom
Annabel has taken care of two dogs for us, and we would not consider using anyone else. She loves, enjoys and takes care of her charges as if they were her own, and the dogs feel totally at home with her. She’s the best."
Happy and Lucy's mom
Annabel is incredibly responsive and trustworthy. She goes above and beyond to take care of my dog. She even fixed Millie’s difficult eating patterns. I appreciate the frequent videos and photos which reassure me that Millie is comfortable and relaxed. Overall, I think Annabel provides my dog the closest experience to the warmth of her home."
Millie's mom
Annabel is the absolute best dog sitter for our Penny! She is attentive to her particular needs and showers her with love and attention while we are out of town. Drop-offs and pick-ups are always flexible. Your pup will be in very capable and experienced hands."
Penny's dad
We were nervous about taking our dog to a new dog sitter. There was no need for my concern! Our dog, normally a bit skittish, loves to stay with Annabel! She doesn’t just like dogs, she knows dogs. She reads their moods and their needs and quickly figures out what they’re up to and what they want. She’s attentive to the owners, too, sending regular updates that include adorable pictures. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
