Doggy Day Care in West Friendship

About: I was born into a home with many animals. My parents were Brazilian Fila breeders. Throughout my life, we always had many dogs at home, which were our joy. I'm passionate about animals, and recently, my family and I lost our furry 17-year-old . My days revolve around the pets I care for from morning walks and mealtimes to play and cuddle breaks. I organize my day so that every pet gets the attention and love they deserve! In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest, fresh water at all times, and a consistent feeding and walk schedule. I keep a clean, safe environment and always supervise playtime . I follow each owner’s instructions closely for meals, medications, and routines so pets feel comfortable and secure, just like they would at home.

“I have never felt more comfortable with leaving my precious Corgi, Lugnut, than with Jim and Mary. It is evident as soon as you talk to them that they understand your dog is a family member. They are flexible with pick up and drop off times. The best part is they send pictures of the fun times throughout the day. I have used them many times, and are the first people I contact when we need someone to watch our pup. I could not sing their praises enough. Oh, and they have a fenced in back yard with a fence down the middle to create two play areas in case you have a shy dog, like my own. 5 stars isn’t enough to describe the wonderful experiences we’ve had!”

“Our dog, Brandi, had such a fun time at Brenda's house for Doggy Day Care. Brenda is very kind and truly enjoys what she does. She kept me updated throughout the day with texts and pictures. Her resident dog, Willow, also made Brandi feel right at home. Brenda takes wonderful care of our dog and we will definitely request her services for future doggy day care or overnight stays.”

“Terry was so kind and happy to take in our dogs for the day! He sent updates throughout their stay and brought them on a walk - which isn’t an easy feat w our dogs lol. You can truly tell he loves watching dogs, 10/10 would recommend!”

Jessie F.

“We’ve had all five star experiences. We have a mini doodle who has anxiety and she got more and more comfortable with each stay. Our girl loves being outside and there is plenty of space to explore. Lots of communication and feedback. Highly recommend!”

“Rodney and his wife are awesome! They took such good care of our puppy (boarding) that we decided to send her there for doggy daycare! And I've already rebooked for boarding! He also takes very cute photos and gives good updates! 10/10 recommend!”

About: I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3, I grew up with dogs & cats and have cared for friends animals through the years. I'm reliable, trustworthy, responsible and flexible. I am excited to get my own cats & dogs some day, and in the meantime can't wait to love on yours! I'm generally around most of the time and can be pretty flexible. My kids and I go on regular walks and would be happy to take your dog along with us! I can provide regular walks, overnight care in my secure home, or doggy daycare at my home. I have a fully fenced in yard, and a space for your dog to relax away from my young kids. If your dog wants to be in the thick of it, we would welcome that too. The dog will be fully supervised around the kids, and my kids are great with animals, having grown up on a farm until the end of 2025. The only animals we own these days are chickens in a secure area in our back yard.

“Thank you for taking care of my 4-legged son!”

“Danielle was so kind to accommodate us last minute for daycare. She asked plenty of questions to get familiar with my dog’s needs and was even willing to give him water from a plastic cup due to his pickiness. Looking forward to hopefully working with her again!”

Melissa H.

“Vanessa is great and is almost always available short notice, which we appreciate so much. We feel so comfortable leaving our girl with her, we can tell she’s well loved there. We will continue to use her as long as she will let us!”

About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.

About: I know how to train dogs, trained 2 dogs since middle school. I have always loved dogs. I know some emergency care especially if its a sensitive stomach issue. I also know how to give medicine. I have a very flexible schedule. I love to go on walks and I am usually home. If your dog needs extra attention I will be with it 24/7. I do not have any kids or dogs with me currently. I am a very punctual person so your best friend will always be on schedule! I have a very dog walking friendly area near me and a nice green field to play catch!

“Our Henry is a challenge, being a rescue and Learning life for the first time. Alicia & James are caring and very helpful. Their house and fenced yard are perfect for Henry’s energetic spirit, and their dog Hana is a great friend to him already after the first week. We feel completely safe leaving our boy with them and highly recommend them as sitters☺️.”

“We booked day care with Francine super last minute and she accepted a same day request (on Christmas Eve!!) Our dog had a great time with their 2 dogs, running around in their fenced in back yard and chilling in the house. We would strongly recommend booking with Francine!”
