Your dog gets a vacation too!
Pet care experience
You're leaving town for whatever reason, let your pup go on vacation too! I have a small dog in my home and he and his late brother have helped me baby sit for dogs as small as 8 pounds up to their English mastiff buddy who weighed in at about 170! We live by Druid Park so that's where we'll do our walks together and I have a small back yard for the morning and bedtime pees and poops. I will take dogs of all sizes and ages but ask that they be house trained (or crated if I have to leave for an extended time) as I do have a security deposit that I would very much like to get back if I move. I offer free pick-up and drop-off within a 5 mile radius. Fee for pick-up/drop-off beyond 5 miles. $50/night in my home or yours $10/night extra for multiple pets Prorating available for partial days Flat rates available for extended stays (generally it works out to 1 free day for each week over 2 weeks) Additional charges for holidays, weekend/early/late walks. Cat care available! Full pricing and service rates available upon request. About Me: I am an artist (MICA grad) who lives in the city with my mini-poodle, Rodney. He loves having dog friends stay with us. I teach at CCBC (I am the lead instructor for the Professional Animal Workers certificate program in my department) and I also walk dogs in south Baltimore with Brazen Tails (google us for info on our company and to see who I am at my day job). I babysit pups "on the side," and am a certified Pet CPR+ Instructor with Pet Emergency Education, so you know your pet is in safe and experienced hands with me! (I'm also working on some other certifications and I will update here as I complete them) I can bring your dog to my home or I can house sit for you as well. Some people prefer to keep their dog in his/her environment and for dogs who get nervous easily this may be a better option. For multiple-dog households, I always sit at their house as I have a dog in my home and 3 or more would be overwhelming for everyone involved. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and needs. Elderly, medication-dependent, and special needs dogs are all welcome! I am trained in administering oral medications, SQ injections and blood sugar testing on both dogs and cats.
Reviews
Ally is awesome! Very attentive and knowledgeable. ❤️?
I have NEVER seen our dogs this relaxed after coming home from a trip. CLEARLY they have been loved and cared for very well while we were away. I cannot express my gratitude enough. ❤️
Ally is great. She's wonderful with the dogs and they love her. She's really responsible and communicative. I love that I can leave town and feel completely comfortable with her watching my dogs and my house. This time, my daughter brought her dog with her. We couldn't bring dogs on our vacation so, at the last minute, we asked Ally to watch her too. As usual, she was great. I came home to find 3 healthy and happy dogs and my house in great shape. Ally will housesit/dogsit for us again this summer. I am so happy to have found her.
Ally is amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for over two weeks. They love her! And I loved not having to worry about them while I was away. She also took wonderful care of my home. I've requested her for two more trips. She's the best!
