Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Jade loves pup camp! The people are so kind, the dogs are so friendly, and she has some of her best days there. She told me that while I'm at stupid work, it's her favorite place to be!
The staff are really great about sending daily notes about how your pup is doing while they are boarded. The $15 extra is worth it to get a few pics of your pup while you are away. He was nice and clean when we picked him up. He is now "recovering" on the sofa after getting to play for a week with is puppy friends. Highly recommend The Pup Camp.
When our work arrangement changed we were in a panic as to what to do with our dog. We couldn’t be happier with the fantastic, attentive, friendly care that Cosmo gets at Pup Camp. He is in there 5 days a week, and we are so grateful for all they do! It’s a wonderful place, and Cosmo loves it dearly!
Our dog Khalif goes to the Severna Park location 6 days a week and sometimes overnight so essentially, we have a shared custody arrangement with the Pup Camp team. He is always sooo excited to go as he has many friends there, both human and doggo. If it’s been an especially good day he whimpers a bit on the way home. We are fans!
Murphy loves going to the Pup Camp in Severna Park! The staff is so friendly and knows him by name. When he gets there he’s ready to leave his pawrents behind for a fun filled day at camp. When we went on vacation, we received daily updates and pictures to ease our minds. When we pick him up, he smiles the whole way home (and then sleeps through the night)!
We love this place! Our Golden goes here every day. She gets so excited to come and she knows what it means when we say the words “pup camp!”
I ABSOLUTELY love The Pup Camp in Severna park and my frenchie loves it too! He is always so excited to see the staff which means they are treating him good. He does daycare and boarding and never any issues. I highly recommend for your fur baby
Our 1 year old puppy needed more interaction with other dogs and a comfortable place for her to occasionally board. The Pup Camp employees care for your dog like it is their own, and she always comes back happy (and worn out!). The lobby can sometimes have bit of a urine odor but it is more because the sun beating in those front windows on a hot day. Don't let it fool you... If you watch them on their live camera, you can see how they are on every mess within seconds, cleaning it up and sanitizing!! And they do activities with your pup, photo shoots, and you can set up birthday treats with your pup's friends there. Very happy and very thankful for them!
Our dog goes once a week for a play day and has also boarded there for a week. She is always super excited to be there and is in great hands with the friendly and fun staff. Very happy with all of our experiences at Pup Camp!
Our regular dog sitter said he had to scale back his clients for personal reasons, so we were a little anxious about finding a new place for watching and boarding our pup, Ace. Luckily, we came across The Pup Camp. We quickly signed him up for his temperament test (after confirming he was up to date on his vaccines). We've had Ace interact with other dogs, but mostly in small groups, so we were definitely worried at first. The staff assured us that they would keep a close eye on Ace and that they recognize daycare would be overwhelming for new dogs. Luckily, they have two webcams in their facility so I was also able to check in and see how Ace was doing. It certainly put my mind at ease watching him get along and play with the other dogs. The staff were also very attentive. They are constantly walking around, mopping/cleaning the facility, petting the dogs, and making sure everyone was getting along. We think this is a positive and healthy environment and experience for Ace so we signed him up for the introductory package (four daycare sessions to be used within the next 30 days). My only small nitpick is that their website portals are clunky and outdated - way better to call or go in person to make reservations and ask questions. TL;DR: HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The pricing is reasonable, the staff are kind attentive, and the live web cameras gave us extra assurance.
Pawwws Aboard provides outstanding doggy daycare services in a nurturing and secure setting. The owner, personally ensured that my puppy, Tendie, received top-notch care. Her commitment to your fur baby's happiness and safety is reflected in every detail of the facility. Rest assured that Pawwws Aboard will deliver a welcoming and enriching experience for your cherished pet during your absence.
We contacted Pawwws Aboard to see if they were able/willing to watch a mini pig. Jazmin stated she had never done it but was willing to try. She came to meet him and we all felt comfortable so we booked her for 2 visits a day while we were away. She has fair pricing with multiple ways to pay. She was very communicative while we were away and sent pictures, videos, and updates during each visit. We felt at ease knowing she was there taking care of our pig. Will definitely use Pawwws Aboard again for future trips if she’s available
She is an awesome puppy sitter!! I will definitely be using her the next time my husband and I go on vacation! She sent us videos everyday for updates on our little one and she was always happy and playing. She showed our Frenchie lots of love and attention. I was very nervous about leaving her but she assured me that she was in good hands and I had nothing to worry about! She has a forever client here!
Jaz has been amazing! Pups and I moved to Baltimore and were so lucky to have found her! Takes great care and they adore her. I have a pup that needs meds twice a day, She is very responsible and I can trust her to be on time. I travel a lot for work, wouldn’t know what to do without her!
Jazmin is absolutely amazing!! She welcomed my baby boy into her home and he loved every visit. He adjusted well and surprised me with how well he did with the other dogs in her care. She even came to my home for personal walks when he was sick for a couple of days. An absolute God-send. Your dog is in good care with Pawwws Aboard! 🐶
Jazmin is excellent with my two senior dogs. They both love her. She checks on and spend a got deal of time with them the numerous tomes daily. Send picture to show me they good. Highly recommend her services. I will most definitely use her again!
Jazmin is very reliable and takes great care of my baby girl Lega. Excellent communication. I have a senior dog so she needs extra love and attention…you can trust Jazmin to ensure your dog is well taken care of. Lega is always excited to see her:)
Kind, friendly pet care and it’s obvious dogs are loved and well-cared for! Definitely recommend and will use again!
We started daycare with Jazmin for our very energetic pup. Bailey loves her and always enjoys her time. Jazmin really cares for all the pups that she takes care of.
I had a pause in my need for a pet sitter during the past year. We just did a camping trip and needed to board our fur babies. Even though we moved further away from Jazmin, I thought of her first. She responded quickly that she had an opening and during our trip she sent pictures of Emma playing with a toy and Lingling playing with the puppy, Beauty. I knew they were in good hands!
We can’t say enough about how much we and our babies adore cozy canine camp! The staff is so above and beyond. They go out of their way to make sure your pets feel safe. Our newest puppy was so scared to leave us for the first time and Dan actually sat with her trying to make her feel comfortable. It was so sweet! They email pics daily of them having a blast too which makes you smile on vacay! The absolute best place to board your fur babies !!! Thanks for all your hard work guys I can’t imagine how hard it is!!! We appreciate y’all so much!
Cozy canine camp has been amazing. My husband and I were looking for somewhere our dog would feel at home and be surrounded my people that treat her as if she were their own. We are very grateful for the staff. Brian the manager is awesome! They have been super accommodating. Thank you cozy canine camp
My dog loves the care she gets and she comes back from boarding happy. One year they were full we went somewhere else and she was distressed. Cozy is my favorite.
UPDATE: I did receive the refund of my deposit, but it did take about a month to receive it. Long time customer, I've been boarding my dog here every summer for many years. I booked a boarding reservation in July for my dog back in the beginning of April, but my dog pretty suddenly died near the end of April. I cancelled my reservation online but was not refunded the deposit. About two weeks later I called the office, no answer, but I left a message asking for a call back and if the deposit would be credited back due to the circumstances. No one ever returned my call. They were kind enough to send a hand-written condolence card in the mail, which I did appreciate, and that is why I've giving a 2-star review instead of 1-star. But I still have not received a call, email, nothing regarding refunding the deposit I paid for this reservation. I would understand if it was a last minute cancellation, even in the case of a pet's death, but cancelling a reservation 3 months in advance due to a pet's death, I would think that would warrant a refund of a reservation deposit. But apparently not at Cozy Canine Camp.
Our pup loves, loves, loves it here! He absolutely adores the counselors and other dogs. It's a one-stop shop offering daycare, boarding & grooming! VERY highly recommend.
Cozy Canine Camp is the best! Our high-energy beagle puppy Otto loves to go and gets so excited when it is a 'camp day'. They put up pictures daily so you can see what your dog is up to and are very responsive. I would recommend Cozy Canine Camp to anyone with a dog!
Dogs are always Happy to go here for boarding. They are well cared for and don't seem to lose a lot of weight like at other kennels. Staff is friendly and seems to truly care about the dogs. This is the only kennel in the area I trust to leave my dogs for a long stay (2+ weeks)
Thanks to Cathy and Cozy canine camp for being an outstanding facility. My Lance had three different groomers before we came in contact with Cozy Canine Camp. He hates care rides and being on a crate makes him even more anxious. We were always looking for a place than can take care of him and they just know how to do it. They offer this awesome VIP services where I can wait for him after I drop him, and pick him up right away after he is done, it is amazing. Lance always looks so handsome after his grooming session and I know he notices it too!! I can tell he likes Cathy since he never gave kisses to any other groomers before. If you are looking for a great groomer, Cathy will not disappoint you. From a regular grooming session to a VIP service Cozy Canine Camp has it all. If I can gave her 10 starts I will.
UPDATE: After speaking with the GM today, I put my rating at 5. I appreciate how she reached out to me to talk about my concerns. We used Cozy whenever we boarded our previous dog, so when it came time to board our current one we made a reservation. I sent a msg while we were away asking how she was doing. No response. They did let me know that she had loose stool and vomited bile the morning we were to pick her up. That was on Thursday. It's Sunday and I'm still waiting for her report card on how she did the whole stay. I've msg'd and emailed once each requesting it. I've called twice, spoken with someone each time and was told both times that they'd send to me. Nothing. I'm guessing it doesn't exist. I'm disappointed because we really liked them in the past. Not sure what we're going to do the next time we need boarding.
I rescue and foster dogs from numerous organizations in the area, and often times adopt the senior pups that can have trouble getting placed. So you can imagine I take their care very seriously. I try to make sure I'm always the one to take care of them, or my better half. But occasionally we're both traveling, or taking a vacation. Apollo (pictured below) is going on 13 years old now, and has significant arthritis (which he takes numerous medications for, as well as physical therapy and adequan injections). I was nervous to have him boarded for 10 days, but CCC has always been great with my dogs for day care or grooming (as well as previous boarding experiences). I'm remarkably happy I made the decision that I did, to board him and his sister at CCC. The a la carte nature of their experience is great, you can select private walks in the woods, half-day day-care, full-service grooming, late-night potty breaks - all as add-ons and customizations to your pets' stay. And the very well documented check-in process is crucial for older dogs like mine that take a slew of medication at very specific times. Being the fun dog dad that I am, of course I set up my fur-babies for the works. The camp called me after their first day to report they were doing well, and give them their report card. They probably would have called more after that, but I would typically beat them to it. After a couple of days, I got a call that Apollo wasn't doing so well, he was having trouble standing on his own, and wasn't getting around so well. After conversing with Apollo's vet, we decided to make a minor change to medication, and cancel all of the extracurricular activities - he was likely over-exerting himself and needed more quiet time. The camp complied with the change in direction, and called me regularly to report Apollo's progress. If things got any worse, I would return immediately to take care of him. After a couple days, they indicated he was doing much better. When I came to pick them up, several of the staff had come to the front to say good-bye. Apparently they had built a small wooden ramp for the one or two spots that had a step to allow him easier mobility. I've used boarding and day-care at many locations in the area, but there are very few that would have provided the time and attention that Apollo required. The adaptability, communicability, and care that they provided was first-rate. I probably won't be boarding Apollo any more, as he gets up in age that simply won't be a possibility. But for all of my other fur-babies and fosters, I am glad CCC is available.
Fieldstone Animal Inn provides outstanding service with professional people who engage passionately with your family’s furry friends. During the Annapolis Sailboat Show, the Fieldstone team cared for our best friend Henry, a Boston Terrier who loves to play and be with others. After the first nervous drop-off morning, he came bounding out in the afternoon so happy and rested. The staff remarked about what a good time he had. The next morning he jumped out and ran to play, assuring us that he indeed felt comfortable and loved at Fieldstone. As a visitor from out of state, this one moment meant everything to us. As the days progressed it became clearer that Henry really enjoyed his stay and the staff loved having him there. I strongly recommend Fieldstone Animal Inn and give my greatest thanks to them for taking such good care of my little buddy. Don’t hesitate in calling them if you have any questions.
I’ve used Fieldstone on and off for years with every pet that I have had; they are amazing. The level of detail and information that they require is astounding to ensure that your fur baby gets the exemplary care and attention suited to their need. My most recent boarding was with my 16-1/2 year old Norwegian, Misa, that I picked up today. While there she utilized the deluxe accommodations. I received a daily report card for the 7 days that she was with Fieldstone that included the most gorgeous photos of my girl. They took very good care of my baby. I couldn’t be happier. You won’t go wrong with the facility, the staff and the services that they offer.
Fieldstone Animal Inn far surpassed my expectations. Relying on reviews I booked several day stays for our Boston Terrier while we were visiting the area. Kelli and the rest of the team made both my dog and I feel safe during the drop off process and when I picked up Henry he was happy and tired. Thank you for taking such good care of my dog.
We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that our dog was well cared for. The staff is exceptional, and the facility is first class. We boarded our dog utilizing the luxury suite and was able to check in on him via his personal web cam. Additionally, we were kept informed of his daily activities and photos by a daily digest/report card. We loved seeing him getting lots of exercise and having fun with the staff. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend Fieldstone Animal Inn!
My husband and I are in town for the holidays and wanted to get our golden retriever Piper groomed. We chose Fieldstone Animal Inn and could not be more pleased! The staff were so friendly, the facility was clean, and they took such good care of Piper! I wish we lived here so she could attend doggy daycare. Thank you Fieldstone Animal Inn ☺️
Fieldstone is a great place to board your dogs. My dog had an accident (through no fault of Fieldstone) and they immediately were able to get him stitched up at a vet nearby and gave him extra care until I was able to pick him up the next day. Emily kept me in the loop the whole time. Fieldstone will treat your dogs like they are their own. Thanks for taking care of Shadow and Nori!
My dog has stayed with Fieldstone several times. I knew about Fieldstone because my father used to take his dog Harley to Fieldstone and called it doggy camp because he loved it so much!! They always take excellent care of my Fenjamin and with their new options it’s gotten even better! It was wonderful to know that while I was sitting with my family 300 miles away my Fenjamin was also enjoying a little Thanksgiving treat. When I picked him up I was SO pleased with what the groomers had done. As an AussiePom his coat is not easy to keep clean and detangled but, he looks the best he’s ever looked! Thank you Fieldstone!
We usually board our dog somewhere else, but had to find some place new last minute, and I found Fieldstone Inn, and i’m so happy I did! They cared for Bria just as I would and I definitely feel like we will be bringing Bria back next year!
We left our little Chi for the first time in her life for day care. She is tiny and timid, so we had some anxiety leaving her. But unlike noisy kennels we have used in the past, this one was peaceful and welcoming, with a contingent of kind caretakers. When we picked Gertie up that evening, she did not appear stressed or thirsty - she was her normal self. I consider that a win! Five Stars for these folks! And thanks for the Christmas card and toy!
Love this place and always have. I used to take my dog Boh (who has past now)for years and he loved it there. I just took my two poodle mixes, Charlee girl and Kona to be groomed and she was great! I will definitely go back. Thank you Fieldstone ❤️
After a last minute debacle with my normal boarding facility, I had to scramble to find a place on such short notice with which I felt comfortable and confident to leave my fur baby, Duke. I reached out to 2 highly recommended/reviewed boarding facilities, and while both replied with availability, only Domestic asked if I would like to view the facility. I immediately said yes to the tour, and upon arrival, was greeted very warmly by the owner, Therese. After only a few minutes, I knew this was the place for Duke. The fact that she only takes 4 dogs at once ensures constant love and attention. In addition, the location/facility felt very home-like. The dogs have plenty of toys and much needed interaction/socialization. Photos and updates were provided over the 2 weeks that Duke was there and he even made some equine friends. I would definitely recommend Domestic Pet Care to anyone needing boarding care. Prices are extremely reasonable; In my opinion, so much so that I tried to give more but it wasn't accepted. Domestic Pet Care also provides a Veteran discount and a New Customer deal. I can guarantee that Duke will stay there again, along with my new pup, Tessa (once she arrives).
Therese has the ideal setup for boarding and we couldn’t have been happier with her services. She has 2 large fenced in areas for the dogs to play in and a nice clean indoor setup w 4 air conditioned kennels. We loved that she only boards 4 dogs at a time and never let’s the dogs play unsupervised. Our dog was not spayed yet so she made sure to pay close attention to who she could play with. We had a 1 week vacation across the country only 1 month after getting our 6 month old Lola and were very worried she would have a tough time with separation anxiety, etc. Therese gave us daily text updates with pictures letting us know she was having a great time and playing nicely with a couple of the other dogs. When our flight changed Therese was also very accommodating and had no problems letting us pick her up a day after we had originally scheduled to. We will definitely be coming back to DPC next vacation! Thanks, Therese!
Went to Fl for 4 days, googled kennels because pie regular was booked. Found this one and loved it! She sends daily pics and lets you know how your dog is doing. I would 100% recommend Therese and will be going back!
Therese is great. She knew I was nervous about boarding my dog so she sent me a few pics during her stay to ease my mind. The room where my dog spent most of her time was well air conditioned, clean, and there was a tv for back ground noise (which my pup prefers). There’s a clean outdoor play area with lots of toys and she only accepts a few dogs at one time so each animal gets the attention they deserve. I talked to about four boarders/kennels before choosing Domestic Pet Care- the other facilities I spoke with were not even amendable to letting me view the facility beforehand (sketchy). I I feel safe leaving my pup here. FYI…first responders get a discount.
Therese was amazing. We received multiple updates. Just when I was thinking I wonder how the dogs are doing, I would get a text with a photo of them. She had jackets on them when it was cold and I was able to have an awesome weekend with no worries. Domestic Pet Care was convenient and affordable. When you have a trip that you are not able to bring the entire family (pets), Domestic Pet Care will take care of the pets for you and treat them like family for you.
Theresa took loving care of our senior golden, and let us now immediately of any issues he had (itchy ears). She even cleaned his ears with our permission. Domestic Pet Care provides a lovely home-like experience in a quiet country setting, with a lovely exercise yard. Compatible dogs even have supervised play together! Our pupper had a great experience here.
We have two teacup Schnauzers - both less than 5 lbs. We are reluctant to leave them with anyone. Therese's kennel is small, safe, clean and she is an absolute gem! I highly recommend her.
We were in a jam and Therese really helped us out and took care of our shy dog this past week. She sent us photos throughout the week and our dog played with some of the dogs which she doesn’t normally do at other kennels. Therese had a great set and up and we were impressed with how she took care of our dog. We will definitely use her in the future.
Our 2 fur babies did great here. They are both rescues and scared of everything so we could not leave them in a kennel. They were well cared for and in great shape when we returned. We are so thankful for personalized attention, loving care, cool and relaxing space and daily access to a nice play yard for exercise!
Therese is wonderful! I have a dog who can be very anxious in new situations and I felt completely comfortable with Therese watching him. She went out of her way to get him used to the place (letting us tour, do a half day visit) etc. I can’t thank her enough for giving these dog parents a weekend break! It was stress relieving knowing he was in capable hands. I will absolutely be returning. Thanks Therese!
Absolutely love Happy Tails, and so does Hudson! The staff is amazing, always friendly, helpful, and professional. We have been boarding our dogs here for years and have never had anything but a great experience. I love the report card following the visit. They are priced fairly too.
AVOID, unless you want surprise bills! I was horrified to open my invoice today and find almost twice the amount that I expected to pay after a five day visit. I spoke with my husband and asked if he added the "silver level" of service and he said no. He said that it was weird at drop off that they told him our dog was put in a social play time. My dog CANNOT be in an unsupervised group because he's aggressive. Neither of us would EVER sign our dog up to do that. So he immediately told them he can't do that. We go on our trip and come home to an astronomical bill. I call immediately and ask what happened since that was not what I had agreed to when I booked the reservation on the website. I believe this is the third time I've used them, so I know my way around the reservations. I was told by Irene that there was no record of me having chosen the silver level so she would have her manager Beth (I think that was the name) call me back. Manager calls me back and says they reviewed the video tape and there is my husband "confirming" we chose the silver package. I told her that was impossible because if he heard that it was going to be an additional $34.95/ day on top of the $55/ day charge there was NO WAY he would have said yes. Long story short, she refuses to consider that an employee added this to our account by mistake, and because my husband is listed as the owner he can make decisions to add services. He did not make this decision, nor would he ever agree to $90/ day for boarding. We could pay someone to house sit for that and have my dog in his own house. Although we love the care he gets, we will NEVER board our dog here again because of the shady business. If an employee added this by mistake then I would like to think that a manager would be honest and do something to fix the situation. Instead my husband is accused of adding stuff and it's now a he said/she said. If the owner would like to refund my money, then I will be happy to update my review.
Location seems great, however they are prejudice against intact dogs. I really wanted to like the place because of their play yards and amenities. However the way they were talking about my dog seems that they were misinterpreting play. Chasing became "excessive following" and wrestling became attempts to mount. I was watching the feed and didn't see this from my dog but did from others. Overall disappointed that the staff holds these prejudices. They seemed to be pushing us away from business. Did not deny us but seemed They just did not like my dog.
Very friendly staff. They were so gracious with my million calls due to a tight schedule. My dog came back with a bath and a smile. I am out of state on vacation and would absolutely recommend to my fellow travelers looking for a safe place to board your baby loves.
I can't say enough good things about Happy Tails Pet Resort in Millersville, MD! The staff there is incredibly friendly and their love for animals is evident in everything they do. Whenever we're away, we eagerly await the report cards they provide, which serve as proof of life and guarantee that our beloved pets are having a blast. Over the years, we've entrusted multiple dogs to their care, and they have consistently been in good hands. Happy Tails is not just a business driven by profit; it's a genuine labor of love for animals. Their commitment to renovating and improving the grounds throughout our years of patronage is a testament to their dedication. We are grateful to have found such a wonderful place and will continue to entrust our furry friends to Happy Tails Pet Resort for years to come. Attached is a photo from a report card of your fur baby.
My Great Dane loves Happy Tails. She come 2-4 times and week and has loved it every time.
Best doggy daycare and boarding facility anywhere ..30 acres, never crated (unless drying after bath) clean, reasonable pricing, excellent staff, video cameras on outside play yards, new dog park, over 20 years of best business practices..
My dog has been staying here for 8 years. He suffers from separation anxiety when he’s away from me. The staff here always give him extra attention with play, mix a little pumpkin in his food and sit with him so as he will eat. Boarding is expensive everywhere but they are still the cheapest around for what you get. Highly recommend.
My dog loves it! He’s made friends there and always comes home happy 😊 He loves the staff and runs to greet them when we walk through the doors! …
Worst experience I ever had with a pet hotel. Terrible customer service. They prefer to loose costumers rather than offering solutions. I missed a very important ceremony due to their lack of information and their ridiculous “policy”. I’m happy I stayed with my dog, the vibe in this place is very weird.
Karen’s gentle and loving nature always puts my sweet fur babies at ease when I am traveling. If you are in need of a pet sitter I highly recommend Rivercliff Cottage Pet Care.
Karen has been so amazing! I am so glad she was recommended to us by a neighbor. She is very reliable and sends updates after each walk. Our dog Muggsy absolutely loves her and I know she’s in great hands when Karen stops by. I would definitely recommend!
Karen has been a godsend! We have never had a dog before and, earlier this year, took over care for our son’s one year old, 70 lb, Shepard mix puppy. We only had a week to line up care for him during our work hours M-F. Karen was so understanding and quick to respond. Through her knowledge, experience and love for dogs, she has helped us set-up the best care for Ray from recommendations on doggie daycare to offering advice in regards to Ray’s well being. Karen’s main concern was doing what was best for Ray and our family even if that meant less business for her in the long run. We are grateful to Karen for her flexibility, care, compassion and open and honest communication. Her professionalism and love for animals is apparent in all she does as she has often gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure Ray’s health and happiness. We highly recommend Karen and her pet care services! Thank you Karen!
Karen comes to walk our dogs 3 days a week when I am at work and occasionally at other times as needed. The dogs adore her! She is amazing to work with, totally professional and reliable, I trust her completely. Recently our Frenchie became very ill and she picked up on the symptoms of illness very early. She communicated this to me very quickly and even offered to get her to the vet! I strongly recommend pet services from Rivercliff Cottage!
Love Karen! She made a fantastic first impression on us and took time to get to know our Jack Russell, Blue. We had a great week. No puppy tantrums and I could relax and concentrate while I was away at work. She eased my mind with updates and pictures and when we returned home he seemed totally stress free. We will definitely do this again.
Superb. Karen is so reliable, professional and wonderful with our dog. Fair pricing and super responsive / flexible in case of sudden schedule changes. Having used many dog sitters in various places I have lived over the years, this has been the best experience yet!
Karen, Jeff and their staff have absolutely been wonderful to my bulldog, Rufus. They visit him everyday while working and take care of him multiple times during the day/night while vacationing so Rufus don't have to be stuck in some boarding facility. I would highly recommend their services.
Karen has been amazing to work with we are so glad we found her for our 2 pups
My dog Cooper has been going to Playful Pack for over a year now. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the exceedingly friendly and professional staff. My dog always came home happy and healthy from his many days at this doggie daycare. We recently had to move to a new area and will so miss Playful Pack!
My dog loves this place. As soon as we turn down Research Drive she can barely contain her excitement. She is always greeted by name when she enters and it seems like the staff is genuinely glad to see her. I have used their grooming and bathing services and they do an excellent job. Playful pack has all kinds of activities for the dogs from agility tunnels to story reading. They have play areas both indoors and outdoors and the best part is my very active dog comes home exhausted.
Went here for a couple years. Honestly, one of my dogs got kicked out of daycare recently so we haven’t been in about a month. She plays too rough, which is totally understandable. But my dogs absolutely loved this place. They treated my dogs well. Anytime we’d walk through the door the employees would greet them by name. Everyone was always so nice! My girls favorites were Michael & McKaila. Even if we aren’t allowed back for daycare, I’m still giving them a 10 outta 10 recommend! The girls sure will miss everyone though.
Our dog is almost 8, and has always had to be put under anesthesia to get shaved by the vet because he is reactive to trimmers. Our vet recommended Playful Pack. Today, our dog was able to come home for the first time with a REAL haircut because of the wonderful care and patience from the Playful Pack groomers. I am so happy he is finally able to get real haircuts (plus, he came home SO soft!!). A huge thank you to the grooming team who took care of our most precious family member.
Friendly staff who is both knowledgeable and good with dogs. I can tell they care about your pet because they remember their names. Was able to get my pups in for a groom with relatively no issues. Moderately priced which is a bonus.
We are thrilled to have found this place! My boxer, Stana, is always so excited every time we come here. She literally starts whining nonstop to be let out of the vehicle to go inside Playful Pack, as soon as we turn on the road. I love the open play concept without kenneling the dogs throughout the day. That always bothered me at other places. Whenever I took my dog to other doggy daycare/play centers, it seemed my dog was always kenneled during the random times I picked her up. If I wanted my dog kenneled, I would just leave her at my house, not pay for her to be somewhere where she's supposed to be out of the kennel and playing. We have been going here for over a year now and willingly drive the hour it takes to get there from our house since no other places compare! Seriously such an amazing facility with great staff! The staff always greet Stana with lots of excitement, which matches her excitement in being there! Thank you Playful Pack for offering a home away from home where our dog loves going and also gives us peace of mind! 😁😊❤️
Playful Pack is a great place! My dog loves going to their puppy day care and I love that he comes home clean, fluffy and a bit tired from all the playtime. I think the staff go above and beyond for all their customers. They have taken the time and effort to truly get to know my dog and his likes/dislikes. I especially appreciate the photos and daily report cards they send to me when he goes in. It’s my pups home away from home:). Thank you Playful Pack!!
Our cocker spaniel, Franklin has been going to Playful Pack (formerly Dog Thrive) since he was approximately 3 months old and over 2 and a half years later still earns the nickname “wiggle-butt” when approaching His favorite people at Playful Pack! They offer emails with weekly PLAY-tivities, holiday events and photos, a report card with photos, a friendly and caring team that take time to form relationships with your pup, reliable and long hours, boarding that can be personalized, and fantastic grooming! Anyone who has attempted their own pandemic grooming knows what a challenge it can be. Everyone at the Annapolis location has been and continues to be accommodating, caring, and generally amazing. Check out their Instagram for more photos!
We love Playful pack for daycare and boarding. Our dog Luna is so excited when we pull in the driveway that she starts shaking and makes a beeline for the door. She comes home happy and exhausted. They really seem to know and love her too, and that makes us feel so comfortable leaving her just for a day or a week when we’re out of town.
Been going here for several years for the very occasional daily drop off and routine grooming...for the long haired mini dachshund of course, not me. 😊 Staff is always pleasent, the grooming is always excellent. For a dog that doesn't even like me brushing her hair...let's not even get into what it would take to trim her nails, that's quite an accomplishment I think.
