“Theresa was very nice and understanding. She constantly kept sending pictures and updates which was amazing! Lola’s time with Theresa helped her make a new friend today which helps with our personal goal for Lola to be more comfortable around other dogs. We will definitely be coming back.❤️💯❤️”
“This was my first time using Danielle, I was truly impressed, from the first picture she sent me I could see that my fur baby was in love from the way he was looking at her with his paw on her arm, that put my mind at ease. Danielle was a ten out of ten and I will definitely be using her again. ❤️”
“Trishelle was great! I’ve been nervous leaving KB with other people as I’ve had both good and bad experiences on Rover, but since Trishelle also has a dachshund, I thought this would be a great fit and opportunity for KB to socialize. Trishelle is very communicative, keeping me updated throughout thr day, sending pictures and videos. Her dachshund, Ollie was super excited to meet KB, which is great but KB is a bit shy in the beginning. By the time I picked him up, they were playing walking side by side and KB looked right at home! I would definitely recommend Trishelle to anyone looking for a sitter, and will look to book with her again!”
“Joyce was amazing. I contacted her super last minute because I wasn’t feeling well and she came to my rescue and took good care of my puppy Houston. He came home so happy and energetic. I received videos while he was in her care and he had so much fun.”
“Frosty was having separation anxiety and Vince and his mom helped Frosty to calm down. Thank you for taking such great care of him! I definitely recommend Vince as a dog-sitter and I’m already planning on rebooking him sometime this month.”
“Katie is amazing! This was the first time I left my puppy with anyone. She sent pictures and updates all day. Winston had a blast. He can’t wait to come back tomorrow ?”
“Poppy gets excited to get to Crissy's house and enjoys her time with Dublin. Crissy is flexible on timing when I've bumped into conflicts, and adjusting recurring days.”
“We could not have had a better experience with Veronica! We were just in town for the weekend for a conference and needed a day care for the dogs one day. Veronica was so accommodating and sought to make our 2 pups feel right at home. She gave us plenty of photos throughout the day which was very comforting and so cute to see our pups with the other dogs. If ever we need dog sitting in Bmore again we will definitely seek her out again!”
“It was so wonderful to know Mateo was in great hands! We will definitely be keeping April in mind in the future. He came home happy and tired every day that he spent with her and her pup!”
“Leydi was extremely responsive and caring for our young puppy. Remy made a friend in Leydi’s puppy Rocky and the two played all day. When she came home she was tired out. We will not hesitate to use Leydi again for doggie daycare!”
“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”
“Daniel was wonderful with my puppy, Lestat! Lestat came home happy and tired from all the playing, which tells me he had an amazing time. This was his first time socializing up close with other animals, and Daniel made the experience awesome and comfortable for him. I truly appreciate Daniel and his wonderful fur babies for helping Lestat feel safe and welcome. I highly recommend him!”
“Bella and Honey were doted on, exercised and kept safe. So glad to have found Peter & Stephany. They will be back next week for day care and the week after for overnight care.”
“Shanikki is great with all dog breeds and they feel comfortable in her care. She is great at communicating and always gets back to booking requests promptly. So thankful for her great pet sitting!”
“First time with Robert as a sitter, I will definitely be back on a regular basis. He understands and loves bully breeds. My American Bully came home happy and wanting more cuddles.”

I can’t say enough good things about Robert. I reached out to him on a Wednesday morning to see if he might be available the next day to watch my dog, Charlie. His response was prompt, and he was incredibly accommodating. Not only was he able to watch Charlie, he also made himself available for a meet and greet that very evening. Charlie can sometimes take a while to warm up to men, I was pleasantly surprised when he instantly became comfortable with Robert. Which speaks volumes for me as his owner knowing Charlie felt comfortable immediately is priceless. Robert kept me updated with photo and check-in. I am immensely grateful to Robert and his wife for their kindness, and assistance with a request from message, meet and greet to drop off in <24 hours. They helped ensure I didn’t have to worry about Charlie during a stressful day caring for an ill parent out of state. I highly recommend and am very thankful 🙏
Janice was absolutely wonderful with Auggie! From the moment we met her, it was clear how attentive and caring she is. She treated Auggie as if he were her own, giving him so much affection, patience, and thoughtful attention. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. Auggie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for is always the best sign! I truly appreciate the updates and the extra care she put into every part of his stay. We will definitely be booking with Janice again. Highly recommend!
This was our first meeting with Theresa, and it was wonderful. Her garden/yard is any dogs dream, she was very patient with my concerns & questions, and we were so happy with Rudy’s visit that we are now boarding him for five nights. Her résumé is impressive, she is very experienced, and while it’s hard leaving your pet with anyone, she really helped alleviate my fears.
