Deep Creek Lake Dogs On Vacation

My husband and I have been providing pet care services through Rover for four years, primarily in Deep Creek Lake, Garrett County, where we reside in the mountains. However, we have recently returned to Washington, D.C., as our primary residence. We derive great pleasure from having dogs and cats as our constant companions, taking them for daily walks, playing with them, and, of course, enjoying their naps. With your permission, we would be delighted to take your dog to Deep Creek Lake during our weekend getaway to unwind. There, they would have the opportunity to hike on nearby trails, exploring novel outdoor experiences and scents.

Janel was consistently communicative while sitting Bean. Bean had an amazing time with Janel and her family. He was super well taken care of. I had an unexpected flight delay on the day I was picking up Bean - Janel as was incredibly understanding and patient, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend Janel to others and book again.

Janel took great care of Grady for a long stay. She sent lots of pictures so that he knew he was being well taken care of.

Janel watched my dog last minute. She is very nice and professional. My dog enjoyed his time with her family.

Janel was quite attentive to our geriatric dog. She gave the dog her much-needed medications, and walked her regularly. Janel also sent us daily updates so that we knew our dog was in good hands.
