Halo’s Playhouse and Getaway

Pet care experience

Hello Pet Lovers, Thank you for considering us for your pet sitting needs. We love dogs and love looking after them. We have adopted, owned, and taken care of dogs for the past 25 years. My family and I live in the ag reserve near Butler’s Orchard in Germantown, MD on a property with 2 acres of land, fenced and a home large enough for your pet to roam while always being supervised. We have a large fenced in yard with separate areas for the dogs we board, but can consider commingling after our meet and greet, and concurrence from pet owner. Dogs that stay with us are let out very often throughout the day. We have met all kinds of different dog breeds and learned a lot more about dog behavior, body language. I have trained dogs as well. I would love to take care of your dog(s). If you are on a business trip or go on vacation I will be there to take care of your dog. Your dog will get lots of attention. Our daughters (15, 12 and 11 years old) like playing with dogs too. Your dogs will be well taken care of! I will feed your dog the right amount of dog food and treat your pet as if s/he is my own. I will make sure that any medicine is given at the right time. I can also give flea protection if your dog is with me during the time when he will need it again. We only sit dogs with up to date vaccinations, including canine influenza, and flea/ tick protection and dewormed dogs. I usually always have some dogs to keep your dog company. Unless your dog likes exploring by himself which is fine too. We can discuss during initial meet and greet. I am available every day for boarding. Earliest drop off is 7am. Any drop offs earlier than that will incur an additional fee. Latest pick up is 8pm. Pick up anytime before that time is best for us. We have a safe environment for dogs and like the dogs to free roam and play together. Therefore our initial meet and greet is very important to ensure that our dogs are compatible and be playing buddies both indoor and outdoors. Your dog will be supervised at all times, including during outdoor playtime. Your dogs will have fun and be loved! Please note, we cannot accommodate dogs with aggressive tendencies or excessive barkers. I require a meet and greet at my home at least one week prior to agreeing to host your pup(s). I have an extensive list of questions whereby I can get to know your pup and their personality.
 Please tell me your dog's name, age, gender and breed and provide a photo when requesting a meet and greet.
 I do not host dogs with poor manners, destructive behavior, or with house training issues.

I cannot recommend Ren and family enough! Trustworthy, reliable, and truly cares for your furry friend. My dog, Levi, can be a handful but I’m confident that he is taken care of through regular updates, gets attention and has formed a genuine bond with Ren and family.

Ren and his family were fantastic sitters for my fur baby. They sent pictures everyday and shared how he was doing in their care. I could tell how happy my lil guy was to be at heir house. Ren was so easy to work with and very responsive to texts. I would happily and confidently have them care for my lil guy again. Top notch, 5 star accommodations. Thanks Ren!!

Ren and his family are amazing. We recently had the pleasure of using Ren's services for our 5 year old Goldendoodle Rousseau, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From start to finish, Ren showcased professionalism, reliability, and a genuine love for dogs that put my mind at ease. One of the standout features of Ren's service is their two-acre fenced yard, perfect for dogs to play, run around, and explore in a safe environment. Communication was another area where Ren excelled. He was prompt in responding to messages, provided regular updates and pictures of my dog having a great time in his care. When we picked our dog up, he didn't want to leave and gave a lot of kisses to Ren to say goodbye. We will definitely send Rousseau back when we take vacations.
