Dog Mommy needs more paws!
Pet care experience
New to the Joppa area after 10 years in the city and eager to find new clients :) We offer access to 2 live stream wyze cameras from the kennel room and the backyard! I have had dogs my entire life. When I finally got my own place 10 years ago, I rescued a German Min Pin, Mottz and a Mastiff/Pit mix, Pony. Pony was with me until February of (2021) when at 14 we had to let him go due to lack of mobility. Our Mottz passed August 2023 also at 14. We also have 2 great Danes - both are total sweet hearts just gentle giants
Reviews
Benita & Ivan were wonderful to our girl! It was the first time we had left her. They sent us photos and videos, she loved them and their dogs so much she literally did not want to come home. We will definitely book with them again next time we go away. I recommend them highly!!
We were extremely happy with Ivan & Benita. Sammy especially!! We will book with them in the future and recommend them
This is the only place our dog leaves us willingly. This speaks volumes as she suffers from separation anxiety.
My wife and I were going to Myrtle Beach for the New Year holiday weekend and needed to find someone to watch our boy. Our regular guy was booked so he suggested we look at Rover. I looked at a good amount of sitters and settled on having Ivan and Benita watch our Dobe. We contacted them and did a meet and greet and we wanted to see how our dog was with their three dogs. Right off the start we could tell that they were good people and definite dog lovers! Our boy got along good with their dogs so we left on our vacation feeling that our dog was in great hands. While we were away we got lots of picture updates and we could see that our dog was enjoying being part of the pack. When I picked our guy up he was wiped out from all the play time that he got while staying with them! I would definitely recommend Ivan and Benita to watch your dog because they will treat them like their own pets. Thanks again to Ivan and Benita

We have 2 acres in Joppa with a 1/2 acre dog run. Our 2 great Danes are crated whenever we leave but our basement is a dog kennel so if your dog is not crate trained that's fine too!

Information Benita & Ivan V. would like to know about your pet
I prefer a meet and greet before hand since I do have 2 other dogs. It's also important to know there feeding habits as we are not a free grazing house.
A typical day
Our dogs are like our children we plan our lives around them they get all of our attention! We live less than a mile from the gunpowder river for hiking and swimming too

Weekends I am home all day if I have dogs here. My husband and I work different schedules so pets are not left alone for more than 3 hours at any time.
