Doggy Day Care in Patuxent

About: I’m recently retired and home much of the time. I live in the Golden Beach community. I have three dogs of my own ranging an age from one to almost 17. I’ve cared for my family‘s pets and have completed a basic veterinary assistant class recently. I’m currently kicking off a consultant business that will be done mostly from home, making my own hours, leaving time to care for your pets and get me away from a desk. In addition to my pets, I am a grandmother of six and love, taking care of pets and babies. I am also trained in mental health first aid and in crisis peer support so I take safety very seriously.

“Kelly is great with Bella, she has been Bella's sitter for about 2 weeks and she loves going to doggy day care with Kelly. When I drop Bella off to Kelly, she can't wait to get out of the car. I'm very happy that she thoroughly enjoys herself with Kelly, I would definitely recommend her dog care services.”

About: With years of hands on pet care experience, I provide loving, reliable, and personalized care for your furry family members. From puppies to senior pets, I've cared for animals of all ages and temperaments. Whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, or extra TLC for anxious pets, I treat every animal like my own with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priority. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and availability to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it's taking breaks for walks, playtime, or just offering comfort and companionship, I enjoy making animals a part of my daily routine. Having pets around brightens my day and I love being able to provide consistent, loving care without distractions or schedule conflicts. Creating a safe, calm, and pet friendly environment is my top priority. My home is clean, secure, and free of hazards, with plenty of space for pets to relax, play, and feel comfortable. I provide constant supervision, especially during introductions and transitions and follow each pet's routine closely including feeding, medication and special needs. I treat every animal like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while in my care.

“La Tasha was wonderful. My PJ who has never been boarded was comfortable and didn't want to leave. She kept me updated on his day, and I appreciated that so much. Will use La Tasha again. It's great to know my furbaby was well taken care of.”

“Lillian and her family are truly a blessing. We definitely will be using their services again. They provided a safe, friendly, and loving environment for our Hazel. Our little Hazel ran to the door every morning she stayed there! Very prompt with any questions we had before and during Hazel's care. Very understanding when I was running late. They were the perfect choice and we were blessed to have found them.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs basically my whole life. A few years ago I was a volunteer at a animal shelter!! I absolutely love animals in general. So I would love to watch your dog whenever you please! Thank you!! I am a stay at home mother most of the time, besides when my fiancé is home. I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your animal! I will walk your dogs to use the restroom when needed, I don’t have a carpet so clean up is very easy. The dog will be in my supervision at all times!!

About: We treat your pup like family—just like our own! We understand how important it is to know your dog is in the best hands. With a safe, comfortable home and a fully fenced yard with plenty of shade, your dog will have space to play, relax, and feel right at home. Our love for dogs means we provide personalized care, ensuring a happy, stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend! Pet care is at the heart of our daily routine! Our family of dedicated dog carers includes full-time and part-time workers, ensuring that someone is always home to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime in our fenced yard, cozy relaxation indoors, or supervised socialization, your dog will always have loving companionship and a safe, comfortable environment throughout the day. In our home, we follow a loving and consistent routine to ensure every pup feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Each day includes morning walks—rain or shine—followed by feeding and plenty of outdoor playtime in our fenced yard. If it’s raining, we bring the fun inside with an assortment of safe dog toys and interactive play. In the afternoon, we head out for another walk, and if applicable, a trip to the doggy park for extra social time. Treat time is always a highlight, and in the evening, we wind down with a final walk before tucking your pup into bed with soothing music for a peaceful night’s sleep. If your dog is more of a lounger and loves to relax while watching TV, we’re happy to accommodate their favorite pastimes, too! Your dog becomes part of our routine—and part of our family.

“Izabela was great ! She provided updates and pictures. Will definitely rebook with her!”

About: As a dog owner, I know how important it is to be able to trust your pet sitter and feel at peace about their care. I will provide your dog with the same level of care and attention as I provide my own sweet girl (9 year old ShihTzu). We will do a meet and greet prior to solidifying your visit so I can answer any questions you may have. I will also share photos during their visit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. I work from home so I have a lot of availability to provide pet care. The only exceptions are if I’m away for a work trip which will be indicated in my availability. I live in a home with a fenced back yard. Your pet will be able to enjoy walks around our neighborhood and lounge around the house (minus the bed). I follow all instructions the owner provides me related to feeding, walking, medication (if applicable) and all other care instructions.

“Denise was great and treated our dog like family! Her family was very welcoming at the meet and great and every time we dropped our dog off at her home. He always comes home happy, tired, and content. I would highly recommend Denise!”

About: I was a registered veterinary technician working in a small and large animal clinic back in Ohio. I have a fenced in yard at my house with room to play and can give frequent potty breaks. I do have a 13yo Chihuahua and a 3yo golden retriever. They are both dog and cat friendly! I do have 2 little kids at home with me, so I do need your pets to be kid friendly. I'm a stay at home mom now so I'm able to give your pet full attention. I'm able to follow and understand any diet restrictions or medications your pet may have. I can provide you pictures and texts about your pet while you're gone for peace of mind! I'm a stay at home mom and my oldest is homeschooled so I am home often. I went to school to be a veterinary technician and worked on a clinic for a couple years before starting our family. I treat the pets I watch like my own! They are allowed on the furniture and bed, if that's what they like. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run.

“This was my very first-time using Rover, and when I say I am overly pleased. Richardine is AWESOME! I was so nervous to use the service because I had just had a pup pass away, and I did not know what I was going to do going forward. I did a meet and greet with Richardine, and I knew at that moment, my pup will be with Richardine each time I will need a sitter. Very personable, reliable, and made sure I received photos throughout the day to let me know what my pup was doing. Once I picked my pup up, she was playing, and happy. I am truly overjoyed with the service that I received. Thank you so much Richardine, and I will see you very soon. Latisha M.”

I follow their usual routines—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime—to help them feel at home. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day while making sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and lots of love.

“I recently adopted Daisey and wasn't sure how she would do in daycare. Lindsay did an excellent job of caring for her and helped Daisey to settle into a new environment and enjoy the experience. She regularly sent me updates and photos of Daisey which helped put my mind at ease. Lindsay provided excellent care and I will definitely use her services again.”
