Doggy Day Care in Ellicott

“Mary and her family are absolutely AMAZING with our puppy, Scout! She communicates and sends me pictures throughout the day and after only one day of daycare, the next time he saw her he was SO excited!! Her sweet dog, Maggie, has taken Scout under her wing and is so good with him. I cannot say enough good things! I feel like we hit the lottery by finding Mary to care for our sweet boy when we are at work. He leaves ever day happy and exhausted!”

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was a kid. Currently, I have a dog that I got from a rescue over 8 years ago and he is my baby. You can trust me to take care of your dog like they are my own. I am caring and trustworthy. I have watched friends and family members pets before and looking to help out others! My current availability is mostly on weekends and holidays. During the week I am available for boarding, but I am at work full time on weekdays. I have a dog who loves to meet new friends! I can follow your dog's schedule and spend time with them to make them feel comfortable.

About: I will take care of your best friend like they are mine! I’m very familiar with training puppies and taking medical care of the old little guys too. Administering medications is a breeze and wound care is something I can do with my eyes closed. We have a huge park behind us. I love a good walk/run with a doggo too. I will get on the floor and roll around with them too! I currently work part time so my schedule is pretty available. My husband works from home and is 100% open. We are also a team when it comes to pet care. I ask you bring your doggos favorite toys so that while inside, we are still entertained. There is a huge park behind us that allows ample space for walks/jogs/runs. Dogs will stay leashed at all times for safety. When they come back inside, Bella the cat will bathe them. She’s a 16 year old little lady who loves all animals. If you are bringing your cat, Bella will show them the biscuit factory and give them showers as well. All animals are treated like a family member; with love and respect. All needs will be fulfilled

“I highly recommend Joah & Kelly! They were very aware and responsive to Rosie, provide a lot of support during her first day. I really appreciated the pics 📸 they sent throughout the day, too. It was reassuring to see Rosie happy & comfortable.”

About: Growing up, I absolutely loved animals—my family used to joke that I’d own a zoo one day! Whether it was caring for my own pets or helping animals in need, I’ve always felt a deep sense of responsibility and joy in making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve rescued a baby deer, birds, and multiple dogs, and each experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and gentle in all kinds of situations. I bring that same energy to pet sitting—being someone an animal can rely on, and someone owners can trust. My natural love for animals, along with my experience as a nursing student, means I’m observant, nurturing, and not afraid of a little extra care—whether that’s for puppies, seniors, or pets with special needs. I currently work part-time on weekdays, so I’m available for pet care after 4:30 PM during the week. Evenings are a perfect time for walks, drop-ins, or spending quality time with pets who need company after their owners leave for work. On weekends, I’m fully available and happy to offer boarding services, since I’ll be home and can give pets my full attention. My schedule allows for a healthy balance, so I can make sure each animal I care for gets the time, consistency, and affection they deserve. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach and my experience as a nursing student—I’m naturally attentive, observant, and gentle, which carries over into how I care for animals. I’ve grown up with pets and currently care for two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of routines, patience, and respecting each animal’s unique personality. I’m also comfortable with both dogs and cats, including pets who may be shy, anxious, or in need of extra attention. I’m especially good with senior pets, and I’m comfortable helping with medication, special feeding routines, or mobility needs. I take pride in providing a calm, safe environment where pets can feel secure—and owners can feel confident.

About: I used to dog walk a couple dogs. Then I moved onto horses. So I know I can handle the hardest canines. They’re fun to have around. I’m working but also just thinking about doing this instead. Work gets boring and this wouldn’t. I love animals and they tend to love me back. I have a giant yard. They can’t be off leash but we can have fun running in the grass. I have animals that will stay upstairs when the dog or cat is here.

“Jenn and Brian were outstanding. I gave them a long list of details about my puppy and they were able to accommodate everything. I was given a bunch of pictures throughout the day of him having a great time. Burned all his energy and had a bunch of fun. Didn’t want to leave as we were pulling away! Would highly recommend.”

“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”

“Jennifer is truly the best! She took such amazing care of our pup Suki. W honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment they met, it was clear she has a special way with dogs. Her updates were thoughtful, detailed, and full of love, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jennifer is a true dog whisperer and we’re so grateful to have found her! Highly, highly recommend. 🐾💛”

About: Transporting pets across the country has shown me how to properly tend and care for animals. Having owned and trained two dogs over the years, has also proven to show the nitty gritty details that you just do not receive when only working with them at a job. I hope in choosing me to take care of your precious pets, that not only will I prove to be the most calming and caring person that will put your pets at ease, but also one who can put you at ease with the trust that your pet is in good hands. I work at a pet store part-time for the local owner, Shaun, for the Lucky Dog Co. I am never there for greater than a 5 hour shift. I have multiple sized cages ranging from extra small, to large. I do not have a customized crate, however the largest size I offer is a 700 series sized crate. These will only be used when I am not home. Your pet will have a fenced in property. There will always be clean water to drink from. I will feed them depending on your preferences for feeding. Otherwise, once in the morning and once in the evening. I look forward to taking care of your pets. Thank-you for choosing me!

“Tayo really enjoyed spending time with Alejandra. He was both happy and tired when I picked him up. I couldn't have asked for more.”

“Joslyn was very sweet with my sensitive dog and super responsive for a quick turn around stay. Would love for Juni to stay again!”

About: I grew up with cats and my best friend had dogs. I would always help her take care of them and took care of cats as my best friends. When I met my fiancé he had a 5 year old beagle and I fell even more in love with dogs. My dream one day is to open a senior dog sanctuary, but until then, I will take care of my own dogs and help others care for theirs! Our pets are part of our families and they deserve the best treatment. I work from home with a consistent schedule and am available for walks and check ins after 3:30pm during the week and any time during the weekend. I have 2 small beagles who love all dogs and love to play. They will make great play mates and walk companions to keep your pooch company.

“She was very nice and compassionate and you can tell she loves animals! Treated goose like he was one of her own dogs and he always came home tired after a long day of playing! ❤️ Thank you again!”

About: “My fashion philosophy is, if you’re not covered in dog hair, your life is empty.” – Elayne Boosler I am home 95% of the time during the summer, we just extended the fence to about an acre! Also have an above ground pool that your pup can swim in with my help if they like to. During the school year I am out of the house Mon-Fri from 7-4 so I can take dogs for boarding on Friday's starting at 4 or after. My favorite thing is to be home with my dogs on the weekend so most likely the shortest amount of time your pup(s) will be home without a human is 2-4 hours max. When I am home, the dogs are my first priority, with many walks, brushing, massage and pampering included in each visit! If your pup needs a bath and is well-behaved in the tub, I'd love to freshen them up! (I do not cut nails). All of my pups are on flea and tick prevention year round. Please reach out if you have any questions! I am home all day during the summer months so I can watch your pup 24/7! I have older pups who love to chill and a younger golden who loves to run around and play so whatever kind of dog you have they should fit right in. No aggressive dogs please! I am home 24/7 when watching your pup. I have a huge fenced in yard for them to play and a nice indoor area as well. Our dogs are allowed on furniture and prefer it over their expensive dog beds lol.
