Give your pup a vacation too!
Pet care experience
Travel without a worry about your best furry friend. Whether your dog needs to burn hours of energy or is happy as a couch potato, I’ll follow your directions to a tee. I have a 1 yr old (extremely friendly) golden retriever - so I can only take dogs who are OK around other pups! For house sitting, he’d have to come with me (he is house broken). I've been caring for my own & friends and family pets for 20 years. I've walked and watched all sizes and ages, from a mostly-blind 11 year old mix to a 6-month old Bernese, to 90lb'ers and the small 10lb'ers. And, I owned an energetic, spirited, protective Border Collie for 13 years. I spent a few years in college dog walking around the city, and am ready to spend some more time with the pups. I'm the go-to walker and sitter for my friends in Baltimore, and love to give pups the extra attention and care they need while they're missing their owners.
Reviews
Sorry for the delay. But Katie (Dog George) are wonderful. She takes such good care of my dog Molly, and I think Molly always has a blast at her place. Would recommend to anyone!
Katie was great taking care of Coco for the weekend. She sent super cute pics and followed our very detailed instructions. We will definitely be booking Katie again!
Katie was wonderful and took such great care of my dog, Molly. I got daily pictures. Her dog and my dog got along very well, and played together all day long. Katie went out of her way to do a "meet and greet" before as well, which added to my comfort with her caring for my dog. I would recommend her 100%.
Katie was great, seems like my dog Nessie had an absolute blast playing with her and her dog George. It was a great relief to know my dog was receiving lots of love while I was out of town.

Let me know how your pup is on a leash, if they’re reactive, or have any fears or funny habits! DAY CARE: Can only accept crate trained dogs who get along well with other dogs. *owners are responsible for any costs associated with replacing or repairing items or furniture if any damages are to occur. *extra $10 charge will be added for any potty accidents indoors
A typical day
Every dog has a different set of reactions, rules, likes, and dislikes - so I'll make sure to talk to you beforehand on what's best for your pet. Dog parks, long walks, short walks, indoor play are all on the table.

Availability
I work from home full time, so I can follow any routine necessary! Including frequent potty breaks, long morning, afternoon and night walks. If I leave it’s never more than 4 hours at a time (I don’t leave George my dog in his crate for more than 5 - and it’s extremely rare that I even do that).
