Pet Boarding Townsend

About: I haven’t taken care of dogs professionally but I have always had a deep love for dogs. I have owned an American Bully and English Bulldog on my own and have had multiple family dogs growing up. Having my own dogs, I have gone through the process of training two different types of temperaments and am looking forward to engaging/learning about more! I currently work from home as an accountant M-F. I have the flexibility to leave and return as needed. I could take my laptop if I needed to be around for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, I have the ability to use my flexibility to be present. I have an open living room setup and an English bulldog of my own to keep them company as well. We go on multiple walks a day and I make sure to try and exert the energy of whatever dog I am with at the time (so they don’t have much time to miss their parents 😂). I have room to crate the dogs if needed and also a pet camera that helps with monitoring.

“Abby and her family were amazing! They took great care of my pup Maxx while I was away and sent plenty of videos and pictures of all the loving and play time he had. Maxx loves kids so he was spoiled rotten having friends to play with and keep him entertained. I will happily book with Abby again and recommend her to anyone.”

“Kwame took amazing care of Tanner for us while we were away. Tanner had lots of fun playing with the other dogs and came back happy and tired out. We will definitely be bringing him back in the future!”

“Same day Boarding request for 2 puppies under 1 year old. Corey has a fenced yard, he provides photos and videos each day and keeps the puppies and their bedding very clean. My puppies came home with freshly washed bedding and their own baths! What a Treat!”

About: Caring for a disabled animal requires patience and compassion. Such as, ensuring a comfortable, accessible living space, using mobility aids if needed, and scheduling regular vet visits. Providing them with mental stimulation while monitoring their pain. Above all, offering love and understanding to create a safe, happy environment. I prioritize pet care by scheduling regular walks, playtime, and feeding into my daily routine to ensure all animals receive constant attention, exercise, and love I have a keen sense of empathy and patience when caring for animals, allowing me to understand their needs and behaviors. My experience with diverse breeds and temperaments equips me to handle various situations calmly and effectively. I am knowledgeable in administering medications, providing first aid, and ensuring a safe and enriching environment.

“Adriene was fabulous! My cockapoo seemed very comfortable and at ease. Adriene sent multiple daily updates and photos. She was very flexible. This was my first time using Rover in the area and she made the experience seamless. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Goose had a wonderful stay with Jeren and I am so grateful for the clear communication and attention to her needs. She clearly knows a lot about dogs and provided excellent care.”

“Samantha was great with my Finley. She sent pictures throughout the day and took her on a walk. Finley was her normal happy self when I picked her up and I can tell she enjoyed her time at Samanthas.”

“Kelli and her husband took great care of my dog, Blizzard, who had a wonderful time playing with her dogs. Kelli was very caring and easy to work with. I highly recommend Kelli, and Blizzard would happily return for another getaway.”

“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”

About: I've taken care of pups since I was a teenager and am continuing my love of them as my nursing career winds down and my husband is semi-retired. We treat them with dignity and respect just like they were our own. We are flexible as the work from home option allows the ability for us to spend quality time with your pet. We are available for boarding any day of the week including weekends and holidays. We have a nice sized yard and are close to multiple parks to take your pet on walks. Dogs are free to roam as if they were in their own home but can crate if desired.

About: I don't just watch dogs—I welcome them into my family. Every pup receives personalized attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I work for the school system, so I have weekends, holidays, and summers off. My typical work hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and my school is very close to home, which allows me to come home during my lunch breaks. I make it a priority not to leave the pups home alone for more than four hours at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. In addition, I keep 2 small dogs at a time but for the bigger ones I only will sit 1 dog for safety reasons 😊. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family. I have a fully fenced yard, two friendly Shih-Poos who love making new friends, and a calm, loving environment. I'll follow your pet's routine, including feeding, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions, so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away.

“This was the first time we ever had the guys to leave our girl with anyone. The meet & greet went great the day before our scheduled drop off. Our baby took to Alessandra, her husband, and their female dog right away. She loves kids so I knew she would be comfortable with their kids. They sent daily updates along with pictures of Dior. They answered very quickly whenever we reached out. And Dior looked happy and comfortable in the pictures. We will leave our baby with them anytime we need a sitter. They are a great family, and they took care of our baby like she was their own.”

“Charlie’s stay with Samantha and her family was wonderful. They took him in so we could visit my family for Christmas and let him be a part of their Christmas. He was warm and well cared for. They sent us many pictures and shared the fun they had. We will definitely seek her out in the future. Thanks for taking such good care of our boy.”

“Sarah was great watching our dog. Amazing updates and pictures. She was very accommodating to pickup and dropoff schedule. Would definitely book again.”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about our Rover sitter, Lee. She truly came through for us at a time when a previous sitter had nearly ruined our trip. From the moment she stepped in, she was so sweet, attentive, and caring toward our dog, it was such a relief. She sent us multiple updates throughout our trip, along with videos and photos of our happy pup, which meant the world to us. After the nightmare we'd been through with the earlier sitter, I was genuinely scared for our dog and worried I might have to cut the trip short and come home. My daughter had only received one picture from that previous sitter, and our dog looked scared and timid in it. That was NOT what we saw from Lee — with her, our dog was comfortable, relaxed, and his usual energetic, playful self. We are so deeply grateful to Lee, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone who wants true peace of mind while they're away from their furry family.”

About: Since I was a baby there has always been a pet in the house. I currently own a dog and a cat and my parents still have two cats and 3 dogs. I work full time as a teacher in MD, but have availability every weekend / holidays and I am available after 5:30 during the week! I currently have a dog and cat living with me and they are free to roam where they pleases and I monitor their food and water, take my dog out every few hours, play with lots of toys, go on lots of walks, and give them lots of cuddles.

“Kacci is amazing and my Peaches and Milo sure enjoyed their time spending the night. She answered me promptly when ever I wanted to check in myself. We my fuzzy ones came home they were so tuckered out they slept from when they got home till late that evening and not up for long! So excited that she is going to keep them for my son's graduation party so he guests don't get taken down. Heck doggy daycare is even sounding better! Thanks Kacci!!”

About: I have lived with/ taken care of various animals for as long as i can remember. I have experience with just about every type of animal such as dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, pigs/ livestock, hedgehogs, and rabbits. I've always been an animal lover and I guarantee I'll be your furbaby's new best friend. I am willing to adapt to any environment and provide the best service for your pet specifically. I love all breeds and I work well with them whether we're playing, training, walking, or relaxing. I have been told by many that I am somewhat of an "animal whisperer." I have a calming energy around animals and I know how to let them get to know me on their own terms and in their own way. I have more than enough patience and love for any situation.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages growing up. I started solo caring for our pets 10 years ago. I have a special interest in animals, so this job is a 2 in one for me. My over night availability ranges from 10pm - 5am every day of the week depending on commuting distances. My Day time availability changes based on my full time job scheduling. I believe slip leads and or harnesses are essential for keeping your pet as safe as possible while handling. I have a good understanding of crate training.
