Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.

Completely trustworthy with our fur babies! Can't say enough about Felice and Ken. They truly cater to the dogs and our pups can't wait to return each week. A plus for both daycare and boarding.

Danielle was so kind to accommodate us last minute for daycare. She asked plenty of questions to get familiar with my dog’s needs and was even willing to give him water from a plastic cup due to his pickiness. Looking forward to hopefully working with her again!

Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!

Vanessa is great and is almost always available short notice, which we appreciate so much. We feel so comfortable leaving our girl with her, we can tell she’s well loved there. We will continue to use her as long as she will let us!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and love meeting new furbabies. I currently have three cats of my own, 12, 10, and 2 years old. I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and types (lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, sugar gliders, birds, etc.). I am currently home full-time and am available for multiple drop in visits any time of the day, or can have one small dog in my home (if cat friendly) for either boarding or doggy daycare. I am able to administer medications both orally and via syringe if needed. I am also able to provide services like nail clipping for cats. I am currently home full-time and available seven days a week for either boarding, day care, walks, or drop in visits any time of day. Safety is of extreme importance to me. I treat all animals with care as if they were my own. I can accommodate any types of requests to ensure the environment for your pets is up to your standards while you are away.

My dog had a wonderful time at Brittanie and Ryan’s. They have two lovely labs and my dog had a great time playing with them. She was tired and happy when she came home. I would definitely recommend them for doggie daycare.

I am so happy to find Hao. She took a great care of our dog Loki and kept good communication with us. To be fully prepared and ready to take care of Loki, she even requested a meet and greet in advance. She has taken and shared a lot of photos of our Loki during the stay. She is definitely someone that you can account for taking care of your pets!

About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.

This was the first time my senior Cavalier was taken to “doggy daycare.” Susan was so wonderful with him and sent pictures mid-day to reassure me. She was very conscientious to understand any of his special needs as a senior dog. He is already scheduled to go back next week.
