Doggy Day Care in Marriottsville

“Rodney was pleasant to work with. We were sent pictures during the day of Milo playing. The visit also helped on socializing skills for Milo. Will use Rodney again.”

“I have never felt more comfortable with leaving my precious Corgi, Lugnut, than with Jim and Mary. It is evident as soon as you talk to them that they understand your dog is a family member. They are flexible with pick up and drop off times. The best part is they send pictures of the fun times throughout the day. I have used them many times, and are the first people I contact when we need someone to watch our pup. I could not sing their praises enough. Oh, and they have a fenced in back yard with a fence down the middle to create two play areas in case you have a shy dog, like my own. 5 stars isn’t enough to describe the wonderful experiences we’ve had!”

“Terry did an amazing job taking take of Star! I received updates 3-4x daily which was awesome. Also, Terry was very open to accommodate the needs of Star and making sure I was comfortable as well. She definitely had a easy transition being away which is great! It's good to know that Terry is reliable and we will be using his help again!”

“Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”

Jason B.

“We’ve had all five star experiences. We have a mini doodle who has anxiety and she got more and more comfortable with each stay. Our girl loves being outside and there is plenty of space to explore. Lots of communication and feedback. Highly recommend!”

Regina L.

“I highly recommend Auana as she is expertly took care of my pup while I was at work. She made sure to ask all the right questions to provide the right care. Norbert and I both were impressed with communication and attention during his stay. Thanks again!”

“Alonni always does a great job with our little Archie, really loves on him, and also helps him acclimate to other dogs. And he loves his visits with her!”

Lorraine M.

“Our Boston Terrier had another great experience with Amber. She is incredibly attentive and caring. I felt at ease knowing my pet was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Amber to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate care for their beloved pets.”

“Brittanie and Ryan are amazing and caring couple. They have a lovely family and 2 beautiful dogs. We were made to feel very welcome in their house and they did everything they could to give Zoe a comfortable stay at their house. They are very responsive and communicate well. Zoe comes home happy after each stay at their house. We recommend them highly....”

About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.

“Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!”

“My 6lb maltipoo Sophie LOVED puppy day care with Kelly. I recently moved and was nervous about finding the right care for Sophie. I initially booked one day with Kelly and immediately after the first day, booked the rest of the week! The communication throughout the days was fantastic and Sophie was so excited to return each day. It was very clear that Kelly is attentive to Sophie the entire day…. Walks, snacks, rest, playtime. Totally recommend Kelly! I will be a regular.”

Linda N.

“Our dog, Brandi, had such a fun time at Brenda's house for Doggy Day Care. Brenda is very kind and truly enjoys what she does. She kept me updated throughout the day with texts and pictures. Her resident dog, Willow, also made Brandi feel right at home. Brenda takes wonderful care of our dog and we will definitely request her services for future doggy day care or overnight stays.”

“Jessica is so sweet with Mia and took great care of her!”

“Jasmine took good care of my elderly Maltese and if I’m in the area again, I’ll definitely call her again.”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs is more than a side hustle for me—it’s part of who I am. After years as a tax professional, I stepped away to slow down and live with more peace. In my walk with Christ, I’ve learned the value of patience, consistency, and unconditional love—qualities that shine through when I’m caring for dogs. I truly enjoy their company and treat them like family. As a child, my father bred American Akitas, and I've owned and cared for over 25 dogs between myself and my wife. I've been around dogs my whole life. I enjoy their company, whether it’s a quiet cuddle, an energetic walk, or simply sitting with them so they feel safe and cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, so I provide reliable communication, regular updates, and the kind of attention that makes your dog feel at home. Every pup in my care is treated like family, because that’s what they deserve. After stepping away from the busyness of my old career, dogs are more a part of my everyday life, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I spend time daily walking or playing, feeding, and caring for my own dogs, and I structure my schedule so I can give full attention to the pets I look after. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening feedings, I build my days around making sure dogs are comfortable and cared for. I enjoy the consistency and companionship they bring—it’s part of what keeps me grounded and fulfilled. In my home, safety and comfort come first. We live on 1.5 acres of land where I’ve trained my own dogs to respect boundaries and stay on property, but all guest dogs remain on-leash when outside unless otherwise agreed. I offer multiple housing options depending on the size and personality of your dog—ranging from crates (14in, 28in, or 48in metal) to larger 6x6x10 indoor kennel enclosures in our spacious 1200 sq ft basement. For social dogs, I’m able to introduce them carefully to my own confident and balanced dogs, but if separation is needed, I can easily house them apart. Guest dogs also spend plenty of time with me upstairs so they don’t feel isolated. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely—feeding, walk schedules, and house rules—while providing my own expertise where it benefits the dog. My only request is to use a slip lead leash, as it provides safer, more secure control, especially for larger or energetic breeds. I am comfortable administering medication, following special diets, and working with anxious dogs who need extra playtime or structure to relax. With years of experience handling XL American Bullies, combined with my calm demeanor and strong physical presence (6’4”, 275 lbs), I have yet to meet a dog I can’t handle safely. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where your dog feels secure and cared for like family. During bookings, I personally supervise any minor children in my home to ensure all pets remain safe and comfortable. I understand Rover’s Guarantee applies to sitters and the booked pets, not to other family members.

“Brianna was a joy to work with. We dropped our pup off in the morning and we were sent photos and updates which was wonderful. I strongly recommend Brianna if you’re looking for an engaged and thoughtful dog sitter. 10/10!”

“Danielle was so kind to accommodate us last minute for daycare. She asked plenty of questions to get familiar with my dog’s needs and was even willing to give him water from a plastic cup due to his pickiness. Looking forward to hopefully working with her again!”
