“Michelle was awesome. She sent photos every day and answered any questions I had. Zoey was happy and healthy when I picked her up. It was Zoey's first three-night stay away from home and it went very well!”
“Beth is amazing! She took such loving care of our senior pup - he was happy and treated like a prince, and we got to enjoy our trip worry-free. Beth is a game changer for us - we couldn't recommend her more highly.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Katelyn is very kind and helpful, in addition to being understanding of HoneyBee's blindness and separation Anxiety. I appreciate all the pictures and videos of my pup while I was away, and especially all the attention given to my pup as well as flexibility of scheduling. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.”
“Candice was wonderful to work with! She was quick to respond to all of our questions and so personable. Our dogs have never spent the night away from home so this was a new experience for all of us. She put our mind at ease by sending lots of updates and reassuring messages. Can’t thank her enough!”
“Ciarra was amazing!! She did so great with my baby not sure if my pup wanted to come back home with me ? she constantly updated me with everything and I could tell she treated my dog like it was her own. Highly recommend and would go back if I need to go on vacation again!”
“Our pup was well taken care of, walks and ball chasing, lots of pictures showed the fun he was having. Kim even sent him home with a Christmas present- a stocking full of toys and treats.”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
“Our first time boarding with Shelby was a great experience! She was flexible, communicative, and followed all care instructions for our dog Loki. Will definitely be calling her up in the future.”
“This is the second time Pretzel has stayed with Andy and Lydia, and it was wonderful once again! He had such a good time. Andy was very responsive on the app, and sent daily updates and photos. Highly recommended!”
“Having our pup stay with Katie always gives us such a peace of mind while we are on vacation because we know our dog is in good hands and being given the best care! She is the best!”
“Kevin was amazing! He was super responsive, caring and even sent me photos of my lab, Moon, every morning either playing or on a walk with him. When I picked her up, I knew she had been taken care of. I Will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Carlie and her family could not have been more loving and attentive. Arlo probably wanted to live there forever. She was incredibly kind about a mistake I made on pick up time.”
About: For 13 years, I lived in New York City, where I pet sat for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle senior companions. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. When I met my husband, we welcomed our own puppy, Suki, an Australian Labradoodle, into our family and completely fell in love with her. After getting married, we traded the hustle and bustle of NYC for the quiet waterfront community of Annapolis, Maryland, where I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinary technician (animal nurse). Beginning this fall, I'll be attending CCBC's Veterinary Technology program, where I'll be learning the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to care for animal patients and assist veterinarians. While I'm in school, I'm excited to continue caring for dogs in my community by providing a safe, loving home away from home. Suki also loves making new four-legged friends and enjoys the extra companionship! Beginning August 31, 2026, I will be attending veterinary technology school part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. My husband works from home full-time, so there will always be someone at home to care for and supervise your dog. We have no children—just one friendly Australian Labradoodle. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs. We live on the first floor of a luxury apartment community with a fenced dog park and a private street-level entrance, so there are no stairs or elevators for your dog to navigate. Our baby-gated, double-doored patio includes a grass potty area for quick bathroom breaks or house training when needed, and our neighborhood offers plenty of safe, grassy areas for regular walks. Our apartment is fully pet-proofed with covered and elevated trash, recycling & laundry, cordoned-off shoe areas, secured wires & cabinets. We walk our own dog three times a day—in the morning, afternoon, and evening—and can tailor exercise to your dog's individual needs. For walking multiple dogs at once, I like to use a heavy duty waist belt for safety. For puppies, we have an indoor playpen, pee pads, and plenty of hands-on experience with puppy care and house training. We also follow each dog's normal feeding routine and avoid introducing new foods, as our own dog, Suki, has a sensitive stomach and we understand the importance of maintaining a consistent diet. We enjoy positive reinforcement training and have taught Suki to sit, heel, and perform a variety of tricks. We primarily provide boarding and daycare in the comfort and safety of our own home, where your dog will receive personalized, attentive care. I also have the tools and experience to provide basic grooming as needed, and we take pride in maintaining an exceptionally clean home with regular paw and eye wipes, daily vacuuming, and a fully equipped pet spa for comfortable baths. The Bath & Basic Grooming add-on includes a shampoo bath, towel dry, blow dry (if tolerated), spray-on conditioner, and a light brush-out. Extensive de-shedding, de-matting, haircuts, nail trims, and ear cleanings are not included. As part of your dog’s daily routine, we’re also happy to brush their teeth at no additional charge (just provide their toothbrush and toothpaste). We brush Suki’s teeth every evening and know how important good dental hygiene is for your dog’s long-term health. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs.

“Beth did amazing with our highly needy and extremely anxious Cat. She spent time with him and was very patient to work with him in a way where he felt safe and comfortable with a new human in his space. We are very thankful for her and her patience and quality care for our one of a kind, pet! We highly recommend her and cannot thank her enough!”
“Heather was wonderful! This was my first time using a sitting service and was unsure about how my senior kitty would react to a stranger coming in every day. Heather provided photos, which put me completely at ease, and Sebastian completely warmed up to her. When we returned, he acted like he never even missed us! Heather will definitely be our first choice again!”
“Megan was so wonderful! We booked super last minute but Megan responded right away. The photo updates she sent were amazing, and we could tell in the pictures that our cat, Sharon, loved her. Megan even got some action shots of our cat playing with the laser 🤩 This was our first time ever using Rover, and the care and detailed updates made us feel so much more comfortable. Megan was incredible - highly recommend!”
“Laura was fantastic! I have very shy cats and she did a wonderful job being patient with them, giving them treats, and letting them decide when to initiate contact, culminating in one cat actually letting Laura pet her for 10 min! Unheard of with my very shy babies! Laura also left wonderful daily updates for me to read and lots of great photos of the cats and was very diligent in cleaning. Overall amazing cat sitter and will absolutely book Laura again!”
“Hannah did a great job checking in on Arlo while we were out of town. She provided great updates and made sure to give him attention and affection. She was also very communicative and provided helpful updates after each visit. Highly recommend!”
“Katie was a delight to work with. Very friendly and kind, a great communicator. Followed directions perfectly and went above and beyond by collecting our mail and taking out the trash. Would definitely recommend to others.”
“Leigh was very attentive with Karen! She played with her, spent time with her, wrote thorough reports on their time together, and was overall very communicative. She even left Karen a toy (which she loves, thank you!!!) Leigh went above and beyond and I would absolutely book her again.”
“Alexia is a Great Pet Sitter, she helped Rako out for 9 days, with our return He was Given Food and Water, and there was no mess. I love how she took care of his pads. Great Young Lady to hire.”
“Jacki was absolutely fantastic! I am always nervous about leaving my cat with someone else, but she put me completely at ease. She provided thorough information about the visit, and she sent pictures. I will absolutely be rebooking with her for my next trip.”
“Darragh was fantastic, sending pics of my two torties, and they seemed pretty comfortable with him. He was very reliable, so I feel better that my cats were taken care of. Thank you Darragh!”
“Courtney did an amazing job of taking care of my cat while I was on vacation. Food, water, and litter were good to go the whole time. She even got him to come out of hiding and play around, sending multiple pictures for peace of mind. Overall 5/5, completely hassle free, if I need a pet sitter again she’ll be the first I ask.”
“Sarah was great - she made the pre-visit, kept track of names & details quickly - and was very responsive. The fact that both Slinky & Loki made appearances and then Loki actually took to following her around was a real surprise and a relief to see them take to her and be comfortable around her. Sarah is top-knotch and will plan with her again during future travel!”
About: I’ve taken care of a few cats with all different personalities. I grew up with a neighborhood cat who I loved and learned to interact with properly. I do not mind cleaning a litter box and understand that cats tend to need space.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Annapolis
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I'm a 32 y/o born & raised Annapolitan living in the heart of DT, and was raised always having 2 big dogs and 2 cats at a time. As of now, I travel to the Eastern Shore once a week to help my folks take care of our beloved Piper (13 y/o grandma Weimaraner) and Rooney (8 year old tabby). They are my world, but my heart is always open to giving all critters my love! Caring for and gaining the trust of an animal is truly one of life’s biggest rewards for me. I’m beyond grateful to be caring for the local dogs & cats of the area — thank you for your consideration! Dog Walking & Drop-In’s: These two services are very similar. You can customize either and both are the same fee. Let me know how you'd like me to spend my visit! (for example: out of a 30 minute visit — 15 minute walk, 15 minute outside play, etc.). The dog walking option does provide you with a map of our route. I'm happy to brush, feed, medicate your pets, water plants, grab the mail, clean the litter box or do simple tasks at no extra charge. I live 2 blocks away from my full time job downtown, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m sure to update my calendar regularly and only accept bookings that I know I can fully accommodate. My focus is on quality time, providing care and comfort crafted specifically for each animal, and respecting boundaries/safety. Let’s talk about what your pet prefers, and I’ll make it happen! 🫶
“Bailey is terrific! She took great care of my fur baby…taking her for walks and dog park play. She shared many cute pictures and communicated regularly with updates. I highly recommend Bailey!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for 3 dogs, 2 cats, birds, lizards, hermit crabs, fish, and rabbits. Taking care of pets has always come naturally to me. Since I was around 10 years old, I’ve helped walk my neighbors’ dogs and puppies, as well as pet sit their dogs and cats while they were away on vacation. I’m very patient, attentive, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and lots of attention. My 5-month-old daughter and I spend a lot of time at home, so I’m able to provide consistent care, companionship, and updates for pet owners. I enjoy having animals as part of our daily routine and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. In my home, pets are treated like family and are welcome on the furniture for comfort and companionship. I create a calm, loving environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed while away from their owners. My cats have access to food and water throughout the day, with their setup safely placed out of reach from dogs when needed. I do not crate animals unless specifically requested by the owner, as I prefer pets to feel comfortable and free in the home. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level to make sure they receive individualized care, attention, and plenty of love.
“Kacie was awesome! She took great care of Queen while I was away at work. Kacie is very easy to communicate with and was extremely accommodating when my schedule was switched up at work last minute. Multiple videos were sent of their daily adventures. Kacie took Queen to the park or on a hike multiple times throughout the day. I 100% recommend Kacie if you need a dog sitter!”
“Lucy and Daniel are a great team for the best doggy daycare you could ever want/need for your dog! My dog is extremely needy and they gave him nothing but love. We look forward to next time!”
“Absolutely wonderful ! Walked my dog twice .it was my first time using rover in a new state and Benjamin was a delight. I will be rebooking when I’m in the area again ! Thanks so much for taking such good care of my pup”
“Let me just say Diana is awesome!!! She’s very responsive and took great care of our Ms Kenzie for 9 days . She provided updates and pictures throughout Kenzie’s stay and treated her like family. Our puppy decided to get in heat on day 2 or 3 but Diana handled it like the pro she is as we were concerned that it occurred while we were away. Diana had extra diapers and made sure she was comfortable. We were very appreciative of Diana’s attentiveness, love and care of our pooch and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Diana! Thank you so much Diana!!!!”
“Laura is fantastic! Our pup Luna had a great time and loved playing around in the yard and with her two lovely pups. Laura was great to work with and sent pictures during Luna’s daycare session. Thanks!”
“Roxy had a wonderful time playing with Andreas and his dog Luna. She was reluctant to leave in order to come home. The rest of the day she was happy and tired. Andreas was very pleasant to deal with. His fenced-in yard is a big plus.”
“Alex communicated throughout our dog’s stay, shared lots of photos, and took him out for walks. Our shy boy normally takes weeks to adjust to a new sitter, but clearly liked being with Alex and her pack.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and love playing with and training them. I unfortunately lost Axel, my shepherd/husky mix, last year. But I still have Harley (technically my boyfriend's, but we've lived together 3 years now). Harley is a sweet, 4-year-old, 40 lb spayed female mystery mix who loves to play, especially with other dogs. We go for lots of walks each day and we like playing, learning and practicing tricks. She knows the basics and can also spin, place, go around you, and now we're practicing crawl. I think people could learn a lot from dogs if they paid more attention. I've started dog sitting for neighbors the past few years and always enjoy getting to know new dogs. One of my favorite dogs I've cared for is Goose, a 5-year-old male Chesapeake Bay retriever. I also work managing a restaurant in town and do graphic design part-time from home as well. I work managing a restaurant downtown in Annapolis, and also do freelance graphic design work from home. Except for Mondays, my shifts at the restaurant are all p.m. shifts so I'm home and available most days anytime before 3:00. I'm off from the restaurant on Tuesdays and Fridays. I currently have and have always had dogs so I'm very used to going for multiple walks a day. I live in an apartment downtown in Annapolis. We currently do not have a yard; however, we go for a lot of walks and still spend a lot of time outside at parks and just hanging out in front of the apartment to people (and dog) watch. I have a crate, and my dog is crate-trained, so if/when your pup is over, I'm prepared to separate them if needed.
About: I have two cats of my own who I adore. I frequently help take care of relatives' and neighbors dogs. My own black lab recently passed and taking care of other dogs is enjoyable and therapeutic. I am a teacher and home by early afternoon . My husband is home all day and helps take care of fur babies in our home while I’m at work. I am free in the evenings and weekends to help care of your fur babies! I have a two-story home with a back yard. Typically, dogs hang out with us during the day in our family room and sleep on dog beds in my bedroom. We live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood and walk dogs during the day on leashes. We have two cats in our home who are used to having dogs in the home.
“Sarah and Peter are great! They took care to read my dog’s profile carefully to attend to her needs. They were sure to give her play breaks away from their dog (mine’s older and gets tired faster) and gave her lots of attention!”
“Whitney is an excellent care provider for my fur baby! My girl suffers from separation anxiety and I needed someone she could hang out with when I was at work and my family was out of town. All I can say is this was the first time my baby was actually excited to leave me and stay with someone! She wagged her tail and easily went to Whittney when I dropped her off. Always came back to me happy and relaxed. Whittney was great sending me lots of pictures and she regularly took her for a walk. Plus, Whittney is so sweet herself, I want to be her friend!”

“Laura has been excellent for us. Our dog can be a handful around other dogs and Laura shows her expertise in keeping things calm during walks. Communication has been great and we’ve never had any scheduling issues. Laura’s rover cards are excellent and we get plenty of pictures! We’re really grateful we found Laura and that she had the availability for us. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a kind, reliable, trustworthy dog walker.”
“Thomas is so good working with our 14 1/2 year old black lab with some serious arthritis. He helps her up the stairs and competently gets her on and off the boat. When Thomas is here, we don’t worry about her while we are away. He goes above and beyond for our old girl with a smile and kind words.”
“Would definitely recommend Alexa. She was able to accommodate my request within just over 24 hours which was greatly appreciated. She was easy to communicate with and felt like I could trust her. Ella seemed to have a good time!”
About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a furry companion by my side. Since my teenage years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and I still love helping out whenever I can. I also foster dogs, so I’m experienced with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Your dog will be in caring, capable hands with me! I am currently working remotely, so I am free most of the day to care for your dog and be there as a friend and make sure they are not left alone. I have a fenced in backyard that your pup can run around in. I also have two sweet and loving dogs of my own that will keep your pup company! If coming to your house, I will respect your space, and let you tell me how to manage your pet and home.
About: I've taken care of neighborhood cats/dogs for over 10 years. I grew up taking care of both cats and dogs in my own home as well. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and cleaning up after pets. I have also volunteered at various animal shelters throughout the years. I currently have a flexible schedule during the summer months and am available most weekends and weekdays. I work on Thursdays and Fridays, but I am available to care for your pet in the evenings on these particular days. I would love to connect with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet! I have experience walking, feeding, crating, and cleaning up after pets in the home. I'm not currently looking to house pets in my own home!
“Andrew did a great job this weekend! He walked my very large Labradoodle and St Bernadoodle and made sure both dogs and my 3 cats were fed and had water. He followed the care instructions, was extremely communicative and arrived promptly at the booking time. I will absolutely be using Andrew for future bookings, highly recommended!!”

“Allison has been walking my dog for a few weeks now and she’s been great! Great with communication of her schedule and Murphys needs. I would highly recommend Allison as a walker and boarder.”

“Kacie was so sweet to my pup! She sent a lot of updates on how my dog was doing and gave her so much attention. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help out with my baby”
“Amber has great energy and was so caring with my pup! I had complicated instructions each visit and Amber was understanding and happy to make sure everything went safely and smoothly. Definitely will book in the future!”

“Megan is our go to when we need Ellie walked or checked in on. She goes above and beyond to make sure her needs are met and is excellent communicating with us! Can’t thank her enough for her thoughtful care!”
About: I can’t provide you references in history of taking care of animals. What I can tell you is that I have two beautiful grown children. We have rescued animals over the last 24 years, and love them dearly as though they are part of the family. We truly love animals with our full heart, and go that extra distance to attend to their needs, and provide the love they deserve. I will provide the same love, care, and joy to your babies as I have done to ours for so many years. I am an empty nester and want to provide my love to where it’s needed and wanted. I work from home and can set own schedule. I am available seven days a week. I will stand behind my commitment to you. Responsibility is my priority. I will love and care for your pets as if they’re my own, and I will follow the rules we’ve established. I have a Pet Sitter Notes page that we can complete together, or I can send to you before my visit that will address some of these questions/ideas. Please give me a chance. I won't let you or your pet down!

“Ellie was great! She’s flexible and communicates well which makes it easy to trust her! She also did an outstanding job with my husky lab, Malibu. Would definitely recommend booking!”
About: As a dedicated dog walker and in-home pet sitter with over two years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I care for every dog (and cat!) as if they were my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs and routines. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun, and tailored walks ✅ Home visits that follow your pet’s schedule ✅ Clean water, food, meds (if needed), and lots of affection ✅ Daily photo updates and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going ✅ Respect for your home and your pet’s space I’m trained in basic pet first aid and always check collars, leashes, and gates before heading out. Whether it’s a quiet walk or an energy-burning play session, your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priority. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because of how flexible and rewarding it is. Since I set my own schedule, I can book pet care clients around my part-time job shifts and study blocks, which helps me stay balanced and productive. Walking dogs gives me a much-needed mental reset from screen time and studying, and it keeps me active throughout the day. It’s also a great way to supplement my income without taking on another traditional job. Most of all, spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy and motivation — it breaks up long study days and reminds me why I love what I do Whether you’re at work or away for a few days, I provide reliable, in-home care that keeps your pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment. From daily walks to feeding, playtime, and medication routines, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. 🔐 Safety & Professionalism Equipped for pet first aid always carrying a kit Detailed home-entry and security protocols Leash and harness checks before every walk Weather-conscious and always alert to potential hazards Respectful of your home, your pets, and your time 📸 Peace of Mind After each visit, you’ll receive a photo and short update so you know how your furry friend is doing — because trust is built on communication

From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms.

About: I have grown up with medium to large sized dogs my whole life. I have experience with very friendly dogs and dogs that cannot play with others as well as puppies to older dogs.

I can offer dog walking in the mornings (7-9am) or afternoons (4-7pm) during the week or anytime during the weekends. I am available on the weekends to check-in or stay with your animal overnight as well. I can check-in and care for your animal during the day or overnight at clients homes. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, bathed, played with and let outside for their needs. I am comfortable with any specific instructions from the owners as well (medication that needs to be taken, crate training, etc).

About: For 13 years, I lived in New York City, where I pet sat for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle senior companions. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. When I met my husband, we welcomed our own puppy, Suki, an Australian Labradoodle, into our family and completely fell in love with her. After getting married, we traded the hustle and bustle of NYC for the quiet waterfront community of Annapolis, Maryland, where I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinary technician (animal nurse). Beginning this fall, I'll be attending CCBC's Veterinary Technology program, where I'll be learning the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to care for animal patients and assist veterinarians. While I'm in school, I'm excited to continue caring for dogs in my community by providing a safe, loving home away from home. Suki also loves making new four-legged friends and enjoys the extra companionship! Beginning August 31, 2026, I will be attending veterinary technology school part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. My husband works from home full-time, so there will always be someone at home to care for and supervise your dog. We have no children—just one friendly Australian Labradoodle. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs. We live on the first floor of a luxury apartment community with a fenced dog park and a private street-level entrance, so there are no stairs or elevators for your dog to navigate. Our baby-gated, double-doored patio includes a grass potty area for quick bathroom breaks or house training when needed, and our neighborhood offers plenty of safe, grassy areas for regular walks. Our apartment is fully pet-proofed with covered and elevated trash, recycling & laundry, cordoned-off shoe areas, secured wires & cabinets. We walk our own dog three times a day—in the morning, afternoon, and evening—and can tailor exercise to your dog's individual needs. For walking multiple dogs at once, I like to use a heavy duty waist belt for safety. For puppies, we have an indoor playpen, pee pads, and plenty of hands-on experience with puppy care and house training. We also follow each dog's normal feeding routine and avoid introducing new foods, as our own dog, Suki, has a sensitive stomach and we understand the importance of maintaining a consistent diet. We enjoy positive reinforcement training and have taught Suki to sit, heel, and perform a variety of tricks. We primarily provide boarding and daycare in the comfort and safety of our own home, where your dog will receive personalized, attentive care. I also have the tools and experience to provide basic grooming as needed, and we take pride in maintaining an exceptionally clean home with regular paw and eye wipes, daily vacuuming, and a fully equipped pet spa for comfortable baths. The Bath & Basic Grooming add-on includes a shampoo bath, towel dry, blow dry (if tolerated), spray-on conditioner, and a light brush-out. Extensive de-shedding, de-matting, haircuts, nail trims, and ear cleanings are not included. As part of your dog’s daily routine, we’re also happy to brush their teeth at no additional charge (just provide their toothbrush and toothpaste). We brush Suki’s teeth every evening and know how important good dental hygiene is for your dog’s long-term health. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request.
