Doggy Day Care in Sharpsburg

About: We have three miniature schnauzers and a medium size Pharaoh hound that we adopted a few years ago. We have been the go to pet sitters for friends and family members for several years. Our family loves dogs and when they stay with us, we treat them like our family. Your babies will be well loved in our home. I work out of the house a couple days a week. Usually on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. I have a flexible schedule and work at home often. When I am not home, our adult daughter is usually here and also helps with the dogs. We have full family participation in the care of our pup friends. I can care for your small dogs in my home. I have a large, fully fenced yard so there is room to run and have fun!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind! I’ve had neighbors, friends, and family dogs. We always have FUN and I always enjoy their company! I am currently a Stay at home Mom/Student. I am looking for an extra income doing something I love and enjoy…animals! Free all days of the week. I have a big fenced in yard and I can crate your dog(s) if needed. But I am home most days. I am able to walk dogs if they enjoy walks as well as playing in a big yard.

About: Thank you for visiting my page! My name is Michael, and I have been living with, and taking care of dogs my whole life. Growing up on a horse farm, with many dogs, I developed an unconditional love for animals, but especially dogs! It has been my dream to be able to take care of dogs for a living and I am so grateful for the opportunity and privilege to do just that! Your dog(s) will have just under 4 acres of fully fenced property to roam and enjoy, including access to the pool if they enjoy swimming! They will have their very own air conditioned room with a dog door to their own private deck to enjoy any time, day or night! Their room also comes with 24 hour camera access so you can check in on them whenever you want! I am home 24/7 to make sure your dog(s) are safe and enjoying their stay. My family has 3 bulldogs of our own. They are very sweet and fun loving pups! They love having new dogs over to play with, but if your dog prefers their own personal space, my dogs have a separate fenced area to enjoy. My dogs get multiple walks throughout the property daily, then spend the majority of the day lounging outside in the sun or under one of the many shaded areas on our property. Your dog(s) can walk with the pack or they can be walked privately. I will be with them at all times so they can let me know if they would like to roam, play or lounge outside or if they’d prefer to relax in their room or on their private deck. I am home with the dogs 24/7! We start the day with breakfast and a nice long walk around the property. My dogs tend to enjoy spending the rest of the morning lounging outside, but your dog(s) can let me know what they would like to do. We can play fetch, go swimming, lounge, or they can just roam. If they prefer their own space, I can put my dogs in their separate fenced in area so your dog(s) can comfortably enjoy the rest of the property. If they get too hot, I can put them up in their air conditioned room where they still have outdoor access through their doggy door if they want to relax on their private deck and enjoy the view. I like to take the pack on another walk in the early afternoon in the wooded area where it is cooler, and then we go on one more walk after dinner once it cools down before bed. The important thing is nothing is set in stone. I will allow your dog(s) to let me know what they want to do and I will keep you updated with messages and pictures as much or as little as you like. I have nearly 4 acres of fully fenced property. Half open and half wooded, with plenty of shaded areas for the dogs to lounge. Your dog(s) will have their own air conditioned room with a bed and a dog door that takes them onto their own private deck to enjoy the view. You will also have 24 hour camera access to check in on your dog(s) anytime. My 3 dogs are very friendly, but I understand some dogs may prefer or need to stay separated. In this case, my dogs have their own fenced in area so your dog(s) can still safely and comfortably enjoy the property.

“Emmelin is great! She loves my dog as of her own. She has a nice spacious yard for dogs to run around. And she sends updates throughout the day. Definitely will book again.”

About: My wife and I have been dog owners most of our lives and have often watched friends’ pets. We have a 7-year-old Border Collie. She is spayed and gets on well with almost all dogs. We have a 1/4 acre fenced back yard. We work from home and I have flexibility that allows me to spend plenty of time in caring for your pet. We walk our dog at least twice a day, weather permitting. So, your pup will get plenty of exercise! I'm organized and responsible, and will be very responsive to you and your pet's needs. I will keep your dog safe at all times and quickly tend to any issues or needs that arise. We limit boarding & day-care to just one dog at a time. Our house is in a very low-traffic cul-de-sac, with a 1/4 acre fenced back yard.

About: I have had all my life for the last 30 years I've had Rottweilers and for the last 18 years I've competed with them in obedience protection and tracking. I am a licensed AKC temperament test judge for all breeds. My house is dog friendly with a fenced in backyard sitting on 1 acre. I'm semi retired so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends. If your dog needs training, I'm also available for this as I am a professional Dog Trainer and AKC temperament test Judge. Now a days I'm not competing so much which allows me to spend more time at home. Your dogs will be spoiled here and may not want to go home. I like to play with them and also stimulate there natural instincts. For some that may be tracking for others that may be problem-solving with such things like puzzles made for dogs.

“Thank you for taking the time with Pepper this weekend, Gianni. We appreciated you Mr extra care with him, and look forward to his stay with you soon.m”

About: I care for dogs as my own. Your fur baby will get hugs, rubs, wiped down after each walk. Please expect for Face and teeth washes. I currently work from home. I have time to walk your fur baby by 7am. Midday, go on second walk then dinner in the evening. I have a fenced backyard for the babies to run around. I prepare the meals as instructed and will house your baby inside a playpen.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who treats every pup like part of the family. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10, and I still get just as excited every time I meet a new furry friend! I work from home full time, which means your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime throughout the day. My 10-year-old daughter is my little helper and loves spending time with our overnight guests. We also have a friendly 6-year-old Shepherd Lab mix who’s always ready to make a new buddy. Our fenced-in backyard is perfect for zoomies, and we’ve got safe sidewalks nearby for fun, sniff-filled walks. We do ask that our doggy guests are potty trained. I’ve also volunteered and fostered with our local humane society, so I know how to keep pups happy, healthy, and feeling right at home. Your dog might miss you just a little—but I promise, they’ll have such a blast they won’t even notice you’re gone! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can’t wait to welcome your fur baby into our home! Since I work from home, your pup will have plenty of attention and outdoor time whenever they need it! I’m all about keeping their routine as close to what they’re used to at home, so they feel safe, happy, and totally at ease. I have a fenced in back yard and a dog of my own to keep your pup entertained. My daughter and I love animals and will give them plenty of play time and snuggles!

“Julie is amazing! My lab mix Trevor is going to Julie’s once a week since January and absolutely loves it. He whines to go inside as soon as he recognizes her house. Julie clearly cares about Trevor and sends regular updates with pictures. Thank you Julie!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or medication administration, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and special needs, and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness. From energetic puppies to senior pets, I’m here to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve! I currently have open availability and can accommodate most scheduling needs, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need early morning drop-ins, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m flexible and ready to help. Just send a message. I’ll do my best to fit your pet’s routine! In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment. It’s cat-safe with no toxic plants or exposed cords, and there are cozy spots for lounging, playing, or hiding—whatever makes your pet feel most at ease. I maintain a consistent feeding, play, and cleaning routine to help pets feel secure and cared for. I never leave pets unattended for long and give them lots of love, attention, and quiet time when needed. In clients’ homes, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you instruct—feeding, walks or litter box care, playtime, and medication if needed. I respect your home and keep everything clean and tidy. I also offer updates with pictures and notes, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well-cared for while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is that I don’t treat all pets the same. I adjust my care based on their age, personality, and comfort level. With dogs, I’m attentive to routines, energy levels, and basic training reinforcement—especially for puppies who need consistency, patience, and supervision. I understand how important structure is at that stage and make sure rules are followed, not ignored. With cats, I respect boundaries. I know when to engage and when to give space, which helps reduce stress—especially for shy or anxious cats. I’m also very mindful with senior pets. I move at their pace, pay close attention to behavior changes, and follow care instructions carefully, including medications, feeding schedules, and mobility needs. Above all, I treat every pet like an individual, not a checklist. My goal is for owners to feel confident that their pet is not just cared for, but understood. I currently work, but I’m also needing extra money for my daughter and I.. and what better way to earn it? We both love animals! My schedule is flexible as I am a manager @ my other position. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or yours. I know consistency is what keeps pets calm and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the space and the pet’s established habits—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter care, and any special instructions are followed carefully. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can spot changes early and communicate them right away. In my home, pets are kept in a clean, calm, and supervised environment. Dogs get appropriate exercise and structured downtime, while cats have quiet areas where they can feel safe and unbothered. I never force interaction and always prioritize comfort and safety. For puppies and seniors, I provide extra supervision, patience, and care. Puppies get consistent reinforcement of routines, while senior pets are allowed to move at their own pace with close attention to mobility, medications, and comfort. No matter the service, I treat every pet as an individual and make sure owners receive regular updates so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

“I’ve had a great experience with Jennifer! She always makes both me and my dog feel very welcomed and comfortable. She’s attentive, caring, and takes the time to make sure all of my dog’s special needs are met. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My love for animals—especially dogs—is something deeply rooted in who I am. To me, they are more than just pets; they are pure-hearted companions, like angels in disguise, who deserve to be treated with the same love, respect, and kindness that we give to one another. I’ve had the privilege of sharing my life with three incredible dogs: Ciccia, Denise, and Dexter—each of them leaving an unforgettable mark on my heart. Dexter, my most recent soul match, came into my life when he needed someone the most. From the moment we found each other, I knew I would do whatever it took to give him a happy and comfortable life. Beyond my personal experience, I also earned a Veterinary Assistant degree from the Animal Behavior College in 2008. While I haven’t worked in the field long-term, my education gave me the ability to recognize when a dog is in distress and understand their body language—something that helps me ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. As a former Rover customer myself, I know how important it is to find a sitter you can truly trust—someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own. That’s exactly the kind of care I strive to provide. Whether it’s keeping them company at home, taking them for a walk, making sure they’re well-fed, or simply giving them the love and attention they crave, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am a business owner working from home with a very flexible schedule which allows me to manage my own daily tasks all week to meet your furry baby's needs. Besides love, "Safety is my priority" because I know how stressful and even scary can be to leave your pet in someone else hands, I am a Rover customer myself. I understand dogs have their own routines and schedules and their own way to do different activities, so once I will get to know your furry baby I shall make sure his needs are met in the safest way while respecting his/her own habits. Some people see just a dog, but I know they all have different personalities, their own way to do things and even if they can't verbally express it, I know they can communicate with us if we really take the time to know them. I will always make sure that your pet is comfortable and safe with me just as he/she would be with you! <3

About: My name is Fabiola, I studied a degree in Biology in Mexico. Since I was very young I have liked animals and plants a lot. I have had pets almost all my life and most of my dogs I have had since they were babies. I learned to train them to go to the bathroom, how to bathe them, and to give them all the care that a pet needs. I have a very good connection with animals, so it is too easy for me to dedicate myself to pet care. I respect and love animals, for me a pet is like another member of the family that deserves all the love and respect like any living being. I am currently the mother of a beautiful Labradoodle his name is Nacho. He is 1 1/2 years old and we decided to buy him because his breeders had him in very bad condition. But now he is a very happy and healthy dog and is the joy of the house. He is very sociable with children, dogs, cats and even deer! Nacho LOVES to play in our very large fenced in back yard. He loves his Frisbee and would love to share and play with new furry friends!! I also work from home and set my own very flexible schedule so I am able to give your pet all the attention it needs and deserves. I'm available 7 days a week. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can assure your pet the attention it deserves:) I have a large and fully fenced in backyard with a sweet Labradoodle of my own to keep your fur baby company. I also have the space to crate your pet if needed or wanted. I'm flexible to meet whatever schedule your pet needs as my dog is kind of spoiled because I'm always home.

“Roseann's home is a great place to leave your fur baby. It is clean and fresh and I had no qualms about leaving my Gizmo with her. She has a deck that the pups can go out and watch the activity. Roseann walks the dogs 3 times a day and the pics I got showed my pup really enjoyed that. Her own dog is so sweet and well behaved. I will absolutely leave Gizmo with Roseann again.”
