Doggy Day Care Ellicott

About: I grew up with dogs and have had my own now for 8 years. Dogs are an important part of my life and I enjoy them so much. I did dog walking with Wag for about a year while I lived in Denver, I had several repeat customers who enjoyed my services. I am careful with weather, environment, and triggers for each dog. Playtime or walks are something I find very important and I ensure happens to keep them exercised and healthy. I run an online business so I am able to easily care for pets during the week and evenings. My weekends are wide open to care for your pet so you can getaway on your trips! Let your pawed friends enjoy the freedom of the country without the hustle and bustle of the city! I run an online business so I am able to easily care for pets during the daytime during weekdays. My weekends and evenings are wide open to care for your pet. I have a fenced yard for dogs to freely roam and go potty. There are nice shady trees if they enjoy lounging outside and plenty of new smells to explore. There are sticks available if your dog is a stick lover (please inform if this is not allowed.) My home has AC to keep pets cool and give shelter from summer heat. Dog water is RO filtered and pure. I can ensure there are multiple water dishes to ensure there is always water available. Potty time is always available. Walks around the neighborhood are leashed. There are no unexpected encounters with off-leash dogs on walks, the occasional neighbor dog barking from the distance. My home has distance from the next neighbor with pets. My "caged pets" that is shown on my profile is a 70 gallon saltwater aquarium with fish and corals. Should not be an issue with any pets. Some might even be curious to watch them moving around.

“Korina is amazing! I love the picture updates she sends throughout the day and she gets so excited when I pull up to drop her off! 🙂”

“Thanks so much for taking care of Max & Winston on a short notice. They seem to have had a blast they passed out for most of our journey towards which was much needed as we were also beat up from hiking the incline. We hope to visit again and will keep in touch-fingers crossed. All the best!”

About: We’re lifelong dog lovers with 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and sizes, from senior lap dogs to large, high-energy breeds. Our home currently includes a sweet 16-year-old Shih Tzu and an 80-pound Griffon, so we’re very comfortable balancing different temperaments, energy levels, routines, and care needs. What sets us apart is the environment we provide. We’re not just offering a place to stay, dogs get a calm, loving home with plenty of space to safely explore, play, sniff, relax, and feel part of the family. We understand that every dog is different, and we adapt to their comfort level, whether they’re an energetic adventurer or a couch cuddler who just wants a quiet place to nap. We’re especially attentive to communication, routines, and making pet parents feel confident while they’re away. Pets are already a central part of our daily life, so welcoming additional dogs into our routine feels natural. Our days already revolve around walks, feeding schedules, outdoor time, play, cuddles, and making sure our own dogs are happy and comfortable. Because I work from home and wespend a lot of time at home as a family, dogs receive consistent supervision, companionship, and interaction throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. We also have the flexibility to accommodate different exercise needs, potty schedules, and slower-paced senior routines when needed. Weekends are especially great for dogs here, with lots of outdoor time, relaxed family energy, and room to roam. Creating a safe, low-stress environment is our top priority. Dogs in our care are treated like part of the family and are always supervised appropriately based on temperament, age, and energy level. Our property provides plenty of space for dogs to play and explore safely while still having access to comfortable indoor areas to rest and decompress. Since we have experience with both senior dogs and large breeds, we understand the importance of introductions, boundaries, pacing, and reading dog behavior carefully. We keep communication open and proactive with pet parents and are happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance throughout each stay. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, loved, exercised, and genuinely at home while you’re away.

About: ​Desde mi niñez he compartido mi vida con animales, lo que me ha dado una comprensión intuitiva de sus necesidades y un profundo respeto por su bienestar. Para mí, cuidar a tu mascota no es un trabajo, es una extensión natural de mi propia vida con compañeros peludos. Ofrezco una atención compasiva y adaptada a la edad de tu peludito. Ya sean paseos lentos o la energía de tu adolescente cochorro. Debido a que mi rutina es flexible y estoy en casa, puedo ofrecer una supervisión continua. Esto significa una respuesta inmediata a cualquier necesidad, ya sea un paseo inesperado, un juego, o simplemente estar ahí para aliviar la ansiedad por separación. ​Adaptabilidad Total: Puedo integrar perfectamente las necesidades específicas de tu mascota (horarios de comida estrictos, paseos frecuentes, sesiones de entrenamiento cortas) en mi día sin que se conviertan en una interrupción, sino en la estructura normal de mi tiempo en casa. ​En resumen, mi rutina diaria gira en torno a asegurar que las mascotas a mi cargo reciban atención, estructura y compañía constante, porque siempre estoy aquí." Mi casa es espaciosa, ofreciendo un excelente ambiente interior. Además, cuento con un pequeño patio para salidas rápidas y supervisadas. Lo mejor es que estamos rodeados de lugares muy lindos para pasear, por lo que aseguramos variedad y estimulación física diaria.

“Ana is very sweet! She loves pets and my Gigi loves her too. She kept me posted throughout the entire day with plenty of texts and pictures. Will definitely reach out to her again in the future :)”

“Jennifer provided excellent doggy daycare for our 6 month old puppy. Our pup was excited to go each day, which shows she had a great time. Jennifer had great communication and provided frequent updates. Overall, she made me feel so comfortable, and we will be using her again in the future.”

About: As ranch owners we have all the space your dog could need to run out all energy and friendly Labrador’s of our own to keep them company. Our pets come first where we feed all animals before we feed ourselves. Only working part time I spend most of my time at home with my animals. We can offer a fenced back yard or a enclosed front yard for acres of free roam if your dog can be trusted. I am mostly outside working all day so a good eye can be kept on your dog.

“I appreciated Erica’s willingness to book daycare last minute. She took great care of Rosie and provided a safe place for her to hang out with people. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Erica again. Thanks for taking care of Rosie.”

“My chihuahua mix doggies, Roscoe and Mia love Donna and she loves on them. They come home happy and content and I know they have had a great time with Donna, her dog, Opal and her husband, Dave because they come home and sleep. Also there are always lots of terrific pictures. We are thankful for Rover and Donna!”

“Willow is the best, my dogs love her. She treats them as her own. I will definitely be using Willow again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, I’ve always had my own, and honestly, I can’t imagine a house without one. I started helping out neighbors and family with their pets when I was 10, and I’ve been the "go-to" dog sitter for my friends ever since. I’ve handled just about every personality type there is. I treat every dog I watch like they’re part of my own family. I’m 62 years old and work from home so I’m available most days, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pups! Because of my flexible schedule your pet can always talk me into cuddling instead of working. Big bonus is I live in Meridian Ranch. We have a fenced yard and a doggie door to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. We also allow pets on our furniture as well as in the beds….just sayin…..we have two grandchildren who adore dogs and are excited about having them here when they visit. We have had some pets who have peed in the house despite being house broken. If needed we do put belly bands/&or diapers on your pet if they use our carpet/and or furniture instead of outside. We do host up to four pets at a time so there could be a chance that your pet would have a playmate during their stay.

“Megan provided a fun play day for King.”

“I really appreciated how flexible Mei was with watching Bentley last minute while my boyfriend was having surgery. She sent lots of pictures throughout his stay so it was great knowing he was happy and taken care of while I was dealing with all the medical stuff at the hospital. Thank you!”

About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable medical knowledge and the ability to handle pets with care, confidence, and calmness—even in stressful situations. I’ve spent my whole life caring for cats, dogs and ferrets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, giving meds, or just keeping pets happy and safe while their owners are away, I always treat them like my own. Your pet will be in loving, experienced hands. I’m currently home during the day, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling and consistent care. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and benefit from a calm, predictable routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. • Secure, fully fenced backyard • Always supervised outdoor time • Quiet, safe neighborhood with great walking paths • Experience managing multiple dogs calmly and safely

“Tony and family are the perfect pet sitters. They have a small dog that quickly warms up to your pet, small children who love to play with dogs, large fenced in back yard with grass, allow your dog on their furniture, and I could go on and on. We'll continue utilizing this family for all our dog sitting needs!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life, starting as a devoted cat mom and later becoming a dog mom as well. Growing up in a military family, I was often trusted to care for the pets of other military families while they were away. That early responsibility taught me not only the basics of pet care, but also how important it is to provide comfort, consistency, and love when their owners can’t be there. As a pet parent myself, I’ve experienced both the deep joy and the heartbreak that comes with loving our fur babies. I’ve watched my own pets grow, thrive, and eventually say goodbye—experiences that have given me a deep understanding of the trust you place in someone when you leave your pet in their care. I’ve even supported one of my own through a battle with cancer, providing attentive, compassionate care every step of the way. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive for most of the day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches—they’ll have plenty of supervision, interaction, and comfort throughout their stay. I also have a welcoming home with a fully fenced yard and two young children (ages 4 and 16 months) who are gentle, loving, and already learning how to respectfully interact with animals. Together, we create a warm, family-oriented environment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Because of these experiences, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, routine care, or a little extra support, you can feel confident knowing they are in loving, capable hands while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am able to be present throughout the day. I’m already used to a structured schedule that includes feeding, playtime, outdoor time in our fenced yard, and of course plenty of cuddles and attention. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and companionship, making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and included in the daily rhythm of our home. I build my day around their needs—whether that’s regular potty breaks, exercise, play sessions, or simply relaxing close by. On a weekly basis, pet care is a normal and joyful part of our household. With two young children and our own pets, creating a loving, pet-friendly environment is already part of our lifestyle. Adding another pet into that routine feels seamless, and I make sure each one gets individualized attention, care, and comfort while they’re with us. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I stick closely to their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and secure. Pets have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, along with plenty of indoor space for play, relaxation, and cuddles. I also make sure they receive lots of individual attention so they feel right at home. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress experience where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy until you return.

“Carrie and her husband did such a great job with our dogs. They were both exhausted and very content when I picked them up and provided great photos of their day together.”

About: We are a Christian family, and our home is filled with warmth, structure, and a loving environment for every pet that stays with us. With over 30 years of experience caring for pets since childhood, we’ve consistently cared for dogs of friends and family of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, and providing both active play and calm, structured care. Being home throughout the day allows me to give consistent attention and supervision, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Your dog won’t just be sitting around—we love keeping pets active and engaged! A typical day includes outdoor playtime, walks (for dogs who enjoy them), and mental stimulation through interactive toys and games. We also make sure there’s plenty of time to rest and relax so your dog feels comfortable and at home. We have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for safe outdoor play and exercise. We also have a young, medium-sized dog who is very friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs. I prioritize safety at all times and carefully monitor interactions to ensure a calm and secure environment. I can also crate your dog if needed and am happy to follow your pet’s routine and preferences.
