“Jingming took exceptional care of Kasandra all week! She treated Kasandra like she was her own and Kasandra had a blast everyday. She provided us with detailed report cards, photos, and videos throughout each day which made my wife and I feel so at ease. We have already rebooked Jingming to take care of Kasandra while my wife and I are on vacation in a few weeks and we highly recommend her for all of your daycare and boarding needs!”


“Our dog was very comfortable with Talina right away, and it was great to know she was in good hands!”


“Gracie was wonderful with my dog! She took him in for daycare two days, back to back. On the first day, the minute I left him he was crying because he didn't want me to leave - and on the second day, he ran towards her wagging his tail, happy as can be! Will definitely be booking her in the future!”



“Shadid is amazing! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my puppy, Rudy, with someone else. From the moment we met Shadid, she was great with Rudy. I was concerned about Rudy getting anxious and being difficult to manage. I realized quickly that I had nothing to worry about with Shadid. Rudy was immediately comfortable with her. I don’t think he even noticed me leave because he was so excited to hang out with Shadid & Pebbles all day. Throughout the day, I received pictures of Rudy at the park and playing. It felt great knowing that Rudy was in good hands and having an amazing day. When I picked Rudy up, he was sad to leave! Rudy can be challenging and usually takes a while to warm up to people, so I was extremely impressed by Shadid’s ability to care for dogs. I would absolutely be comfortable leaving Rudy with Shadid again and am so grateful that I found her. If you love your dog and don’t know which sitter will be best, contact Shadid!! Your dog will have the best day and you’ll feel great knowing he/she is in good hands! From a professional standpoint, Shadid is excellent. I’m in medical school and was taking an exam during Rudy’s stay, so it was important to me that the sitter be professional. Shadid was perfect. She responds quickly and is completely reliable. I strongly recommend her!”


“Toby LOVES daycare at Kira’s! He is always so happy to go to her house in the morning and comes back tired. We really love and appreciate the photos of Toby that Kira puts in the Rover card and Kira always leaves a lovely note about Toby’s day like if he went to the school bus stop to pick up her son, if he had playmates during the day, or even if he guarded the door while she showered! It’s clear that Kira loves, cares, and understands dogs; for example, if her dog Jazz is still eating when Toby arrives, Toby gets a little bit of food too. We can tell from the photos and when we pick him up that Toby has the best time with Jazz, Kira, her son and husband.”



“My husband and I am so grateful to have found such an amazing doggy daycare and sitter for our Ace! Sophia has been so pleasant and so helpful to our family with our dog. We trust Sophia 100%. She genuinely cares and very knowledgeable about dogs. She has gotten to learn and know our Ace very well. She has provided excellent care, keeps him safe, entertained, and comfortable. I think Ace looks forward to seeing Sophia every Wednesday because he runs right out my arms into hers every time he is dropped off. I highly recommend her and Ace will be attending daycare with her for a while.”


“Krista and Roger are our wonderful neighbors, and we recently started using them for occasional daycare for our dog, Grover. Grover loves spending time with Shyloh and their whole family. Krista’s incredibly responsive to my requests and any questions I have. We know Grover’s safe and loved when he visits Krista and Roger’s home!”


“Jay was awesome! I called her at the last minute when I had to bring my boys with me to go to MD for work. Will definitely call her again on my next visit to MD.”


About: My wife and I have grown up with dogs our entire lives and pet sit for friends. We know how to do basic training with dogs and can help teach basic commands and help you teach them to your dog. We have a large yard and two friendly dogs. I work from home three days a week and my office overlooks our large fenced in yard. On nice days we leave the door open for our dogs to go in and out on their own. On hot or cold days I let them out when they need or ask. We have a large house for the dogs to lounge together or separately and can keep dogs separate if desired. We have food, water, and treats readily available. I can see into our yard from my office. The yard is fenced in and we also have an invisible fence for extra precautions. There are plenty of rooms for your dog to get alone time if they desire. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play with other dogs.

“Our primary sitter was unable to provide daycare for Buddy at the last minute. This left us in a jam since we were heading to ravens chiefs football game. I had little time to find another sitter and an hour drive to meet my party in Baltimore. Normally we always do a meet and greet but we were really in a tough spot. Lucky we were able to connect with Elisel she not only came to our rescue she was so easy to work with and handled a very dejected cockapoo who was really looking forward to spending the day with his pals at our normal sitters. She save my day and I highly recommend her. Thanks again”


About: My family and I love dogs very much. I will cook for them and bathe them. I like to take them to the park. I spile my dog's hair every day. I'm currently studying at home, so I have time to take care of the dog. Dogs can go out every 2-4 hours. I can sit in the yard and play with the dog. There are two yards for dogs to play in my house, and two puppies to accompany them. Dogs can move freely at home. I can clean the dog toilet.

“Keshanti and her roommate were very helpful and kind! They helped us so much on such short notice, we will definitely reach out in the future!”


“My puppy, Buddy, loves Iwona! She took wonderful care of my puppy. I appreciated the early drop off time she offered and the frequent pictures and updates. Iwona knows dogs well and was very patient with my five month old boy. We look forward to seeing Iwona again!”


About: I love animals very much. I can always establish a good interactive relationship with pets and help them adapt to the new environment quickly. By observing and perceiving their needs, I can provide timely help and let them spend a relaxing and happy time. I have also taken care of many older dogs and know how to feed them medicine and care for them. I work from home so I am able to take care of the pet throughout the day, I take dog for walks in the morning and evening and take him out to play in the backyard every two to three hours. I have a fenced backyard and I have a six year old very well behaved and friendly little dachshund at home to play with your dog. Because I take care of my own dog every day and have taken care of different kinds of dogs, so I can take good care of your dog too.


About: It's the best feeling to know you have a caring person to care for your dog while you're away. I am an avid dog lover, and owner of a 13-year-old, Shih Tzu. I am active and love outdoors. Allowing me to care for your dog, he/she will be in great hands. I can provide morning, afternoon, evening and weekend dog walks around your neighborhood, follow a regular routine, or even go to a favorite dog park. An important goal for me is to provide consistent high quality care, and a lasting relationship. I have the basic knowledge of dogs with a sense of humor/professional as well. Your dog will get attention & love just like he/she is my very own Shih Tzu, Tazz! Thanks I work part time out of the home for approximately 5 hours daily early hours, and home by 9 a.m. daily to provide the care for the doggies. I have the appropriate accessories setup for daycare and doggie care in my apartment. If any adjustments need to be made, willing to provide necessities as needed.
