“Kelly is awesome! We went to Ocean City to spend some time at the beach and Kelly is just off the main route coming from Northern Virginia. She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”
“Amy is amazing. She is kind and flexible and has done amazing job caring for Kalooki. We don’t have to feel guilty about leaving her behind because she is always excited to visit and has a great time either Amy’s family and the other pets to have fun with. Amy sends great photos and videos along the way that give us insights into her daily activities and friendships. She always comes home from her “vacations” exhausted in a good way, which is the best outcome of vacations for her humans too. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog's 2nd stay...she seemed happy after the first trip but the real test....would she be happy to go back? She ran up to the front door, tail wagging! We'll have no hesitation in booking with Schejn again 😀😀”
“Ellie had the best stay and did not want to leave! Michele provided exceptional care, did a fantastic job communicating and sent adorable picture updates. We felt like she was staying with a close family friend.”
“We love Donald ! He has a big heart and such a warm way with our dog , Tucker , who very easily took to him ! Any time we need a sitter , he is our number 1 go to !”
“We can’t thank Kai enough for being an absolute lifesaver during our recent trip to Ocean City. We had brought our dog Rex along, thinking the hotel allowed pets—but to our surprise, they didn’t. We were in a real bind, and Kai came through for us in the best possible way. She welcomed Rex into her home on short notice and treated him like one of her own. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. Kai kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and the sweetest pictures—it made such a difference knowing he was in loving hands. Rex was so happy and well cared for. When we picked him up, he looked like he’d had a vacation of his own! If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, and genuinely loves dogs, I cannot recommend Kai enough. She was truly a blessing, and we are beyond grateful for her help.”
“I have been using Rover.com for 3 years and Sandee has exceeded our expectations as a care giver. I love that she only took one dog at a time. We felt our dog was well cared for and loved as we would. She was very accommodating when we needed to change our day. She will be the first we ask for, the next time we need a sitter.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Lexi :) The pictures each day were appreciated and we had no worries going away. We will be using you again soon. Thanks again!”
“Margit and Bill are great with our dog Peaches. They send lot of picture and Peaches has a great time with her other dogs. Peaches feels right at home!! We have been very lucky to have such a great environment for our dog.”
“I think Cody really enjoyed his first Boarding with Chelsea! We will certainly be back! In fact already have another Boarding booked! Chelsea communicated great and sent pictures. Her parents being there are an added bonus! Cody is getting lots of love!”
“She's been very communicative and I'm happy I haven't any complaints of my Shiba Inu Suki yet! Which means to me she's very knowledgeable of dogs . I'm very comfortable and feel assured my puppy is safe and she can be a outgoing happy silly teething puppy that she is without regrets. Thank you Margaret can't wait to get her we miss her. We traveled from Maine to Georgia ..our Aunt couldn't handle our dog in Maryland was happy we found a sitter.”
“Liliana was great with Gino he is 15 and has a bit of anxiety and she treated him like her own . She sent me pictures and kept me updated.. very happy and highly recommend 😊”
“We are so blessed to have found Cindi!!! My Carter absolutely loves it at her home (he sprints to their door). Although he is extremely excited to see me, I think his perfect life would be if Cindi, her husband, and their pup Snickers would move into our home or vice versa LOL. Cindi gives lots of updates with pictures so I do not worry at all. Carter has separation anxiety when I leave him home alone but zero stress when he is with her. I would give 100 stars if that was an option!!”
“Kate was amazing!!! Bailey had so much fun and made a few new friends. She even met geese and a rabbit for the first time. Highly recommend!!!”

“Daniel did a wonderful job with Apollo. He was taken on many walks and allowed to take over the couch. Daniel is caring and responsible with a true affection for doggos. I'd definitely trust him with Apollo again.”
“Ranger loved spending the week with Marcus. I got daily updates a pictures of Ranger running, sleeping and playing. Highly recommend using Marcus, will definitely be using his services again.”
“Samantha was wonderful with taking care of my Semper. She kept me up to date on how she was doing and sent me pictures. I highly recommend Samantha.”
