“Margit and Bill opened there home and their family of 3 dogs to my Corgi Winston. They sent me pics and updates on how he was doing during his visit. I am recommending them to my dog lover friends👍👍”
“The whole experience for me and Lulu was very good..she had a great time and I had peace of mind knowing she was being taken care of so well. I would definitely have Lulu back over to stay.”
“We can’t thank Kai enough for being an absolute lifesaver during our recent trip to Ocean City. We had brought our dog Rex along, thinking the hotel allowed pets—but to our surprise, they didn’t. We were in a real bind, and Kai came through for us in the best possible way. She welcomed Rex into her home on short notice and treated him like one of her own. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. Kai kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and the sweetest pictures—it made such a difference knowing he was in loving hands. Rex was so happy and well cared for. When we picked him up, he looked like he’d had a vacation of his own! If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, and genuinely loves dogs, I cannot recommend Kai enough. She was truly a blessing, and we are beyond grateful for her help.”
About: I currently have a cat and a golden retriever and would love to help you take care of your dog while you are in need. I work from home Monday through Friday so my schedule allows me to be very flexible for potty breaks and general playtime while I'm taking care of your best friend. We have over 3/4 of an acre of property and are also located in the heart of Berlin...So a walk or outside playtime is no problem.
“Very kind and caring. Unexpectedly my dog needed medicine while I was away and Irena did not mind at all doing what was needed. She was very accommodating to my change in schedule also.”
“Kelly is awesome! We went to Ocean City to spend some time at the beach and Kelly is just off the main route coming from Northern Virginia. She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”
“This is the second year that we've used Karen and her family to watch our dog Macy during our annual family vacation. We know that Macy is well taken care of and loved and that we don't have to worry about her while we're away! Macy loves people so she gets lots of TLC from Karen and Ron.”
“We met Donald a few days before our visit date which was great. Donald was wonderful, you can tell he knows dogs and I was very comfortable leaving my dog there. It was her first experience at a sitters home. He took good care of her and kept us updated on how she was doing. I hope he is available the next time we need a sitter! 4 stars!”
“Daniel did a wonderful job with Apollo. He was taken on many walks and allowed to take over the couch. Daniel is caring and responsible with a true affection for doggos. I'd definitely trust him with Apollo again.”
“Daniela was amazing, sent us pictures and updates on our dogs during our entire trip! Will definitely reach out again on our next vacation. Thank you for everything you did, it was great knowing Jango and Rogue were well taken care of.”
“Susan was sent from heaven for us. Her location was convenient for our trip from Ocean Pines to Cocoa Beach, added to our travel experience. My Trudy fell in love with her right away, and I knew her vacation would be just as special as ours. I'll ask for Susan on future trips. Professional and loving, that's Sue...”
“Thank you Cindi and Paulfor taking care of Bonita. Per the pictures you shared with me, she looked very comfortable and right at home. I’m pretty sure she also had a great time with your dog, her new friend! Thanks a lot!”
“Dawn is a good communicator, keeping us in touch with our Rocky’s well being and sending pictures to let us know he was enjoying His vacation too. We were very happy with Dawn’s care of our dog. Thank you.”
“Liliana was great with Boh. She kept us updated on how he was doing and it looks like they kept busy. He looked great when she dropped him off and I could see he definitely liked her. We will check with Liliana first the next time we need someone to take care of Boh.”
“Kendra was great with my little dachshund. Heinz is a handful, but he came back happy and giving her kisses goodbye. He has separation anxiety and Kendra made sure she took him places to keep him relaxed. The condo was very nice, right by the beach. I joked that Heinz had a better view of the ocean than me. Hope he wasn’t too much trouble and you can watch him again next year. 😃 Happy Holidays!”
“Amy is an angle. She was so down to earth and I felt at ease leaning my boy with her. She kept me updated throughout the entire day with pictures and videos. She took my baby on an adventure with lots of trips and care rides which he loves. I told her what he likes and didn’t and she made sure to do all the things he loves. In every picture and video she sent I saw how happy my baby boy was. Definitely booking with her again! Thank you so much he had so much fun and you showed him so much love. 😊😊”
“Marcus was amazing! Responds immediately, takes a bunch of pictures. Very comforting knowing my dog was in good hands for the weekend, especially since my dog can be a handful at times.”
