Takoma Bark, fun house for pups!

Pet care experience

Hello! We love all dogs, especially the clean and well-behaved type!! Our place has a big fenced-in backyard and we live very close to Sligo Creek Park for some long walks and outdoor activity. We own a rescue mini-dachshund Pinwina, who is high energy though recovering from trauma, who loves to play with humans and non-aggressive dogs. We would love to care for your dog when you travel and will send you lots of photo updates! We are good at keeping our calendar up to date, so please check there first to see if our dates match. If it says we are not available, it is because we are not available. Please request a meet and greet before placing your reservation, we will want to meet you and your dog before we agree to watch them, this will be good for your peace of mind too! Please note that we only accept fully housebroken dogs and we are not trained to deal with dogs with behavioral or separation issues, but we are super happy to snuggle with and give lots of love to your pup during our down time!

Itz and Keith are amazing! My husband and I hardly travel together because our dogs hate being boarded at the kennel and when we'd come home they were clearly stressed out and confused (..and smelly). I am so excited that we found Itz and Keith because we've finally been able to leave town and know that our dogs are being well cared for and having a great time without us. Itz and Keith go above and beyond to make sure our dogs get lots of attention and exercise throughout the day, which shows in how happy the dogs are to see them when they come over. They also send daily picture and video updates so we can keep up with how they're doing while we're away. We just got home from a full week away, and the dogs both seem very happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great pet sitters!

As always - great sitters for my elderly dog. I always feel confident leaving Thalia with Itz.

Really appreciate Itz & Keith. They take great care of Thalia, an older dog, and send fun pictures! I've been a repeat customer & would highly recommend them.

Really happy with the attention to detail and care Itzbeth and Keith took with Thalia. They have a nice warm home with a great fenced in yard, kept in touch with pics and updates, and even drove Thalia back home at the end of her stay. Would definitely recommend them & plan to rebook next time Thalia needs a home away from home.

Information Itz M. would like to know about your pet

Would like to know if dog is aggressive with small dogs, if the dog likes to mark inside the house, or if the dog has escapist tendencies (trying to run away or dig under fences)

A typical day

Long walks (if desired), playing games: fetch, tug of war, anything the pup likes, we have a playful attitude in our home... Loads of hugging and cuddling if your dog is clean and up to it.
