Try rover.com to find a dog sitter.

Different if you need meds administered or specialized care. Then you are limited to the vet boarding facilities.

+1. My dog is not senior but I am devoted to a few sitters I have found on Rover. Highly recommend them overall and so far have not had a bad experience. I look for sitters who take one dog at a time and preferably have someone home during the day. There are a surprisingly high number of people who seem to be doing it not as a business but as a way to spend time with a nice dog in a low key way. Though not my case, I have seen many do take seniors and are ok with a least administering meds, not sure about specialized care above and beyond that (ie injections or more).

I no longer have relatives in the area or anyone that I can trust to leave my senior dog with. I have toured many boarding facilities in the past, but I do not like most of them. The only place that I like and used to take my dog to is in Howard County, but their policy changed and they no longer take senior dogs. I have a family emergency and have to travel out of the country.

Are there any places or sitters that you recommend in DC or MD that will care for a senior dog?
