Pet care experience
Hello Pet Lovers, Thank you for considering us for your pet sitting needs. We love dogs and love looking after them. We have adopted, owned, and taken care of dogs for the past 25 years. My family and I live in the ag reserve near Butler’s Orchard in Germantown, MD on a property with 2 acres of land, fenced and a home large enough for your pet to roam while always being supervised. We have a large fenced in yard with separate areas for the dogs we board, but can consider commingling after our meet and greet, and concurrence from pet owner. Dogs that stay with us are let out very often throughout the day. We have met all kinds of different dog breeds and learned a lot more about dog behavior, body language. I have trained dogs as well. I would love to take care of your dog(s). If you are on a business trip or go on vacation I will be there to take care of your dog. Your dog will get lots of attention. Our daughters (15, 12 and 11 years old) like playing with dogs too. Your dogs will be well taken care of! I will feed your dog the right amount of dog food and treat your pet as if s/he is my own. I will make sure that any medicine is given at the right time. I can also give flea protection if your dog is with me during the time when he will need it again. We only sit dogs with up to date vaccinations, including canine influenza, and flea/ tick protection and dewormed dogs. I usually always have some dogs to keep your dog company. Unless your dog likes exploring by himself which is fine too. We can discuss during initial meet and greet. I am available every day for boarding. Earliest drop off is 7am. Any drop offs earlier than that will incur an additional fee. Latest pick up is 8pm. Pick up anytime before that time is best for us. We have a safe environment for dogs and like the dogs to free roam and play together. Therefore our initial meet and greet is very important to ensure that our dogs are compatible and be playing buddies both indoor and outdoors. Your dog will be supervised at all times, including during outdoor playtime. Your dogs will have fun and be loved! Please note, we cannot accommodate dogs with aggressive tendencies or excessive barkers. I require a meet and greet at my home at least one week prior to agreeing to host your pup(s). I have an extensive list of questions whereby I can get to know your pup and their personality.
 Please tell me your dog's name, age, gender and breed and provide a photo when requesting a meet and greet.
 I do not host dogs with poor manners, destructive behavior, or with house training issues.
Reviews
Ren and his family took GREAT care of our dog. This was the first time we have ever had Riley stay with them and we would definitely have him stay there again. Ren sent several pictures everyday so we could see how Riley was doing. He loved hanging out with the other dogs and Ren and his family. He got a lot of attention and seemed very comfortable being there. They have a large fenced in backyard that Riley loved to explore and couches that he seemed to have found very comfortable. Overall, a really great experience for all of us!
Ren and his family are wonderful with our pup Marko. Marko always greets them with his tail wagging. So appreciative of Ren sending photo updates of Marko's stay. Thank you, Ren and family.
For the third time, Ren and his family took care of our dog Andy. We always miss him when we're out of town for a few days, but they give us peace of mind knowing he is in the best hands. He plays with other dogs, snuggles with family members, and enjoys his time with everyone. They provide pictures and maintain smooth communication. We will choose them again.
Thank you so Much Ren and family for taking a great care of our Bentley!! This was our first time borarding. We will definitely board again! Ren sent pictures every day. Bentley was very relaxed when we picked him up, that showed how much he enjoyed his stay. Thank you Ren!!
