“Kyury was incredibly patient and caring with Matcha. Because he’s had some difficult sitter experiences in the past, we shared our concerns with her, and she went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and comfortable. She provided frequent updates and took the time to understand his anxious personality, which gave us peace of mind during his stay. We felt completely confident that Matcha was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Kyury to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again.”

“Liz and Jeffrey were so wonderful with Lola and Daisy! It was fairly last minute and they were incredibly understanding. They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them. They even got to attend the eclipse viewing party with some fabulous kids!! They provided lots of updates and videos which helped me enjoy a long day at work. One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”

“Brandi took great care of our beagle boys. You can tell she loves animals. The yard and the home are great for hosting our dogs. She was very responsive and kept us updated with pictures. I’m so glad we met Brandi!”

“We had such a great experience with this daycare! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and clearly loves what they do. Saint had the best time and really bonded with their dog, Kai. They went on walks, played together, and even had time to rest and nap, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in such good hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“We booked day care with Francine super last minute and she accepted a same day request (on Christmas Eve!!) Our dog had a great time with their 2 dogs, running around in their fenced in back yard and chilling in the house. We would strongly recommend booking with Francine!”

“My pup didn’t want to leave when i came to pick him up!! My puppy Sulley clearly received such great care and attention from both Carly and her family. Their dog Oliver was also sweet and playful with Sulley as well! I already plan to book with Carly again!”


About: I’m a proud dog parent to Moonie, my very smart 3 year old Maltipoo, and I also live with a 4 year old Pomeranian — so yes, my house is basically dog approved. I love walks, dog parks, treats, and teaching Moonie new tricks. I’ll treat your pup like family, with lots of love, patience, and probably a few compliments ❤️🥰💕 I work in the office some days, but I’m mostly remote and home with the pups. There’s always time for potty breaks, playtime, little backyard zoomies, and cuddle breaks.. so basically, the dogs have a better schedule than we do 😂 I live in a townhouse with a small backyard — perfect for quick potty breaks or a little zoomies session. My neighborhood is safe and great for walks. I always clean paws after potty breaks, keep fresh pee pads available and changed daily, and yes… dogs are allowed on the furniture.

“My dog had a great time with Felice. He has stayed with her family many times and he has always been well cared for. Based on his excitement whenever we pull up to her house, I can say with certainty that my dog is happy to spend the day or the night with Felice.”

“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”

“Brittanie and Ryan are amazing and caring couple. They have a lovely family and 2 beautiful dogs. We were made to feel very welcome in their house and they did everything they could to give Zoe a comfortable stay at their house. They are very responsive and communicate well. Zoe comes home happy after each stay at their house. We recommend them highly....”

About: Hi! My name is Katie and I am a dog lover living in Elkridge, MD, looking to spend my spare time helping take care of your pets. I have always lived in a household where we care for our four-legged friends as family members. They provide us with so much unconditional love, they deserve everything and more in return! I have spent majority of my life caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pet sitting for other friends and family members. I have also volunteered with local shelters and animal rescue groups in the past, where I have fostered animals and helped with adoption events. I currently work from home and have the availability to stay with or visit your pet during my day. Whether it’s for home stay, a drop in visit, or nice walk outside, I am able to give your pet the company they need. Your pet will always be treated with love and care as if they were my own. During my visits, I will be sure to be safe and cautious with your pet as if they were my own.
“Jeremy was great! We had to make changes to the reservation, and he was very responsive and made changes quickly. He also did a fantastic job watching Indi, and he provided a lot of picture updates. Thanks for doing such a great job with our dog!”
“My puppy goes to daycare at Ashley's house once a week. Ashley takes really good care of my puppy and keeps me updated with photos and how things are going. She is also very quick to respond to my requests.”

“Lynn and Ziggy & Poppy hosted another fun daycare for Kiki today, and she thoroughly enjoyed her day filled with playing/wrestling, naps, dog park, snack, and most of all their company and kindness 🩷 Thank you so much for cute pictures, videos, and Rover report card!”

“My Jessie has separation anxiety, which I is why I bring her to daycare. She did very well with Lidia and Lidia's sweet, mellow dog. I will definitely bring her there 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!”

“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.”

“Layson came back exhausted and I loved it. Nicholas sent updates/pics/videos of Layson having an amazing time. Thank you so much for being accommodating and taking such great care of Layson.”

“Iuliia was amazing! She managed my energetic pup with such patience and kindness. She took her for multiple walks during doggy day care and facilitated playtime with my dog and hers. She sent lots of photos and videos throughout the day, which made me smile. We will definitely use her in the future!”

About: WHO ARE WE? The Thacker Family of four. I am Qian, my hubby Andrew and our two fur babies Niko and Hitch. Niko is our very first fur baby,we adopted him when he was five months old. Born with the most affectionate nature as a Shih Tzu, Niko loves to play and is obsessed with miniature tennis balls. Later on, we felt Niko needed a close buddy to play with. We were lucky to have Hitch in the Thacker family! As a half Shih Tzu and half Bichon, Hitch became Niko's best buddy. They love to play, snuggle and cuddle. Your fur babies are welcome to join our family for a staycation! Maybe join us for walks in the patapsco park; we can go explore nature if your fur babies are interested. We go on daily walks at least an hour a day. If your fur babies prefer to stay cool inside, we have plenty of space and a large rooftop to relax. And of course, lots of toys for your fur babies too. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP? The Thacker family would love to meet and greet your fur baby. We would appreciate booking at least a day in advance.

Your fur babies' favorite food, snacks or toys. If they prefer to sleep in crate, feel free to bring it. WHAT TO EXPECT? 1.Your fur babies will be taken outside 4-5 times daily or as preferred by you. 2. Your baby will be the only one to stay with us during the scheduled time. 3. All fur babies in the house will be separated during meal time or treat time.

Robin and her family were amazing! our fur baby started staying with them at 10 weeks old and they loved her like their own. they were pretty flexible when things came up last minute. our day to day responsibilities would not have been possible without their help with our fur baby who received all the love and care. 100% would recommend Robin and her family ❤️

Jingru is amazing she takes such good care of our puppy while I’m at work. My maple was so happy when we went to her home for the second time. Which told me how good she takes care of my girl. She has totally eased my anxiety as a new puppy mom and always provided me with updates and videos. She’s the best !

**By: Ggamang** Moving from the West Coast to the East Coast was a huge adjustment for me—new smells, new parks, and a lot of nerves. I wasn't sure I'd find a new "person" out here, but I’m so glad we found Kyury. Kyury is patient, reliable, and made me feel at home right away. It’s a huge relief for my parents to have someone they can truly trust while we settle into our new life on this coast. Whether we’re out on a walk or just hanging out, I always have the best time. If you need a sitter who genuinely cares, Kyury is the best! **5/5 Wags!**

Brandy was so professional, efficient and above all very caring to us and Cosmo. I have used a few places and this visit was handled far better than the others. I never wanted to have a repeat at other places but not the case with Brandy.She did exactly what she said she was going to do and our dog was very happy when we picked him up. Very calm and relaxed. Her home was well maintained and inviting and she provides a very nice facility/schedule for the dogs.

Iuliia was amazing! She managed my energetic pup with such patience and kindness. She took her for multiple walks during doggy day care and facilitated playtime with my dog and hers. She sent lots of photos and videos throughout the day, which made me smile. We will definitely use her in the future!
