Doggy Day Care in Still Pond

About: I have 2 pups Chip & Lucy ages 11 & 8 that I have raised from puppies. Many of my friends have dogs and they frequently come over. I also enjoy riding horses when I can. I have experience with working with anxious dogs & dogs in shelters also (as a volunteer). I love to take dogs for walks, to play with them & give them attention. You can see some of the dogs I have walked/played with in my profile pictures. I’m frequently in the Chestertown area and am more than happy to help with your pet sitting needs. I am available weekday mornings 6-11 /evenings 5-10 and all day on the weekend. I can do boarding in my home after a meet and greet. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs. I can also kennel your dog if needed. Meet and greet of dogs would be needed before any overnight stays with us.

“my pup was so excited to see paris again! as soon as we turned down her street for drop off, his tail had already started wagging. i know he’s in great hands when he’s with paris!”

About: As someone who works from home, I'm able to provide constant companionship and attention to the dogs in my care. I'm always with my own dog, and I'd love to welcome yours into our daily routine as well. We enjoy frequent walks, playtime outside, and plenty of downtime together indoors. Because I'm home throughout the day, your dog will never be left alone or crated for long periods. I treat every dog like part of the family -offering a calm, loving environment where they can feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Caring for Pets in My Home: In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's regular routine closely —whether that's feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long and will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I also ensure dogs get outdoor time often and have a cozy, quiet space to relax when they need it. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your pet's routine. I follow all instructions carefully to maintain consistency and reduce stress-this includes feeding times, walks, medications, and any specific care preferences. I also keep you updated regularly with messages, photos, and any notable changes in your pet's behavior or health. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priorities. Requested information about your pet Basic Info Name & age - Helps with communication and choosing age-appropriate activities. Breed or size - Can influence energy level, exercise needs, and physical limitations. Health conditions - Arthritis, allergies, or respiratory issues may limit certain activities. Medical & Safety Needs Vaccination status - Especially important for social settings or parks. I provide more than just pet sitting — I offer dependable, personalized care tailored to each dog's unique personality, needs, and routine. What truly sets me apart is: Experience You Can Trust: With 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I'm confident handling everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing special attention. Individualized Attention: I only take a limited number of clients at a time to ensure every dog gets the time, affection, and care they deserve. Consistent Communication: I keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. Genuine Love for Dogs: I build real relationships with the dogs I care for. I treat them like family, and that bond shows in every tail wag and happy greeting. We run a YouTube channel and sell on Ebay, so we are home together most all the time and can fit playtime in basically anytime we want to. We have about an acre fenced in, plenty of shade trees, interesting places to explore. As for rules, your rules are our rules. If you want them to run the place and be on the furniture, that is allowed. If you want them to stay off the couch we will oblige. I have multiple dog beds that they can use spread out around the home ( when pups are here) so generally speaking I don't have them in the bed, but if they are used to being in the bed with you, I will allow it here at my home as well.

“Our Pup had a great time at Shanon's. He enjoyed the company of her older dogs. Her backyard is fenced, huge, and safe. Very good at communication, and we received updates with pictures. Shanon listened to us on our specific instructions and followed them. She always responded timely to our texts. Fed the pup on time and also arranged a cozy bed for him. We recommend her and would definitely book again when in the area.”

About: I grew up fostering animals from the Humane Society of Harford County, caring for animals with the range of young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. And, yes, I’ve “foster-failed” a few times, and have multiple cats and dogs of my own. A house isn’t a home without a fur baby. I am a middle-school teacher who currently has full availability now that summer vacation has begun. I’d love to fill my time off by caring for your four-legged friends! Fostering animals with a variety of backgrounds, training levels, capabilities, etc., has given me a lot of experience with creating a safe and happy environment.

“Elizabeth was amazing! She took in my 4 month old puppy on short notice for the entire day, and he didn’t want to leave her house by the end of the day. Her house and yard are both super clean, organized, and dog friendly. Her experience caring for and training dogs definitely shows and I will be booking with her again!”
