Doggy Day Care in Hamilton Area, Baltimore, MD

“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.”

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life, but after getting my first dog at 18 I decided to become a professional dog lover. I have worked at boarding kennels, vet clinics and shelters and for the last 8 years have owned and operated a training company where we have offered in home care for a variety of pets. I love working with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I love even more getting to make them a part of my extended family. Pet care is our routine around here! Aside from running our human kiddo to school, my entire days revolve around the needs of the dogs in our home. We set aside time for playtime in the yard, cuddles on the couch, and training time for pups booked through my training company. I have a fully fenced yard with a secondary fenced space for smaller dogs. We have 3 resident dogs who are all friendly and playful, and grumpy old man cat who mostly avoids the dogs. Guest pups are crated when we are away from home and overnight, with a camera on them to make sure everyone is safe and happy.

“Marissa was great! Will go back when I need boarding or daycare.”

“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. ❤️”

“Denise was awesome! Super flexible and easy to coordinate with! She was great with my 3 month old lab puppy and sent me tons of pictures! My pup had lots of playtime and slept for 3 hours during our car ride to vacation after I picked her up! I recommend Denise for anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our dog on such short notice! The pic and videos you sent really helped us feel comfortable leaving her!”

About: While new to pet sitting, I am not new to loving and caring for friends and family dogs. I’ve been a volunteer at local animal shelters in the past and have experience with a variety of dogs - young and old, different breeds, behaviors, etc. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and when I adopted my boxer/beagle mix, Sasha, from the shelter at two years old, she became our greatest teacher, showing us how to love deeply, be patient, and make the tough calls that come with being a devoted pet parent. We’re experienced caring for dogs at every life stage, from bouncy puppies to sweet seniors. Special food requirements? Daily meds? We’ve got it covered. We pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality ... some thrive on extra snuggles, others prefer long walks, backyard playtime, or peaceful naps in the sun on the deck. I think it’s important to set up a meet-and-greet with new clients. It’s the best way for us to see if we’re a good match and to go over your pet-care needs in person. It’s also a great opportunity to get all those questions answered, and chatting face-to-face just makes things smoother. And honestly, meeting a new pup is the best part! At the end of the day, we know who’s really in charge: the dogs. Our job is to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and surrounded by love. I work from home and have the flexibility to play in the backyard, take walks, and provide personalized care as needed. In the last year I became especially skilled at taking care of our senior dog so am ready to provide any specialty care if needed. We have a fenced yard and quiet neighborhood with walkable sidewalks and lots of opportunities for sniffing out the perfect spots. No other pets or children in our home.

I have a 25+ Years of Experience in Emergency Medicine working both in the Hospital as well as Patients Homes. Your Fur Baby will be treated with Dignity, Respect as well as Your Home and have an awesome interactive experience with Me.

About: Owner of one sweet large dog and two cats. More than 10 years of experience taking care of animals. Graduate student with flexible schedules and lots of love for many fur babies. My parents are with me right now so extra hands on deck and almost companion all day for your pets. I’m a graduate student with flexible schedules. I enjoy playing and walking with animals for relaxation. I live in a neighborhood that’s very great for dog walking. I have a fenced yard, very friendly dog and cats. Enough space indoors for playing too. I have a car hammock for dog to sit comfortably in the back seat and seatbelt for them, if we need to go take a ride.

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like family. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs, and I adjust care to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort. Whether it’s teaching gentle manners during walks, providing extra cuddles for seniors, or keeping puppies stimulated and safe, I make sure every dog feels loved, comfortable, and happy. Being home often allows me to give one-on-one attention, consistent routines, and plenty of playtime and cuddles, so pets feel safe, cared for, and even a little spoiled while in my care. Pet care is part of my everyday life, not something I squeeze in. Whether I’m dog walking, pet sitting, or boarding, I plan my days around the pets in my care. My routine includes regular meals, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and calm downtime. For boarding and in-home sitting, pets are treated like family and fully included in my home or their own familiar space. I’m home often, so pets get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long. I keep a clean, cozy environment and adjust care to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, relaxed, and happily spoiled. Whether pets are in my home for boarding or I’m visiting them in theirs for sitting or walks, their comfort and safety come first. In my home, dogs are treated like family—regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and plenty of quiet downtime. I make sure their space is clean, cozy, and calm so they feel at home. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick to their usual routines, give lots of attention, and keep everything safe and comfortable, so they feel secure and happy while their humans are away. Every pet gets individualized care based on their personality, energy, and needs, making sure they feel loved and even a little spoiled.
