Dog Sitters in Colesville Park, MD

I would HIGHLY recommend Bella to anyone!!! There are no words to describe how wonderful Bella is! I found Bella almost 2 years ago when I first got my dog, Roxy, and ever since she could not be more reliable. She is so great with her and treats her as if she is her own (and her kids love Roxy too!). I know for a fact that she is well taken care of while I am traveling and that makes me feel 1000x better; I don't need to worry about the love she is receiving while I'm away! Bella is always flexible and willing to care for her. Have appreciated Bella and will continuously use her for years to come!

CANNOT RECOMMEND BELLA ENOUGH! We have had Bella take care of our dog for the past 2 years when we go out of town. After a bad experience with a doggy day care center that felt impersonal and cold, Bella was a breath of fresh air. When our dog is with her, he really is a part of the family and I am able to relax while away because I know he’s in great hands. Our dog enjoys playing with her children and even going to work with Bella at the pet hospital. She is able to provide pick up and drop offs, lots of pictures every day as well as some grooming services. Bella is also very flexible and easy to contact. Our dog always returns exhausted and well cared for. Anyone should feel comfortable with their pet in her care. We cannot recommend her enough!

Bella has cared for our two dogs and diabetic cat for over a year now, and she is truly fantastic! She is flexible, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure our fur-babies are happy and healthy. She has accommodated all sorts of issues for us, including last minute schedule changes and medication administration. Our dogs are usually nervous around people, but they always have a great time with Bella. She is also great about keeping us informed and sends plenty of photos after each visit. I cannot recommend her services highly enough - without Bella, we wouldn’t be able to travel nearly as much as we have lately! I am so comfortable with Bella caring for our animals. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!!

Bella is awesome! She’s been watching my dogs for over 3 years now and has always done an amazing job with them. She is very attentive, sends updates often, and offers pick-up and drop-off services. I know that anytime I leave my dogs with Bella and her family they will be well loved and well played with.

Bella did an amazing job taking care of our healthy cat and our sick cat while we were away. She administered medication as prescribed and provided daily updates to the worried pet parents. Bella was lovely to talk with and also took good care of our home. I highly recommend her!

Bella has been wonderful with my pups. In addition to taking great care of them, she keeps me well informed on how their doing by sending pics with every visit including fun selfies. They adore her and it’s very reassuring knowing they are safe while I’m away in travel.

I highly recommend Bella! My little pup, Zoey received the care and attention she needed. Bella is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. It was incredibly helpful and comforting to me knowing Bella is an experienced vet technician since Zoey has some GI sensitivity. I love all the pics and videos Bella sent. She even had Zoey FaceTime me! You will not be disappointed!

I absolutely love this place! I’m so grateful for Ena and Lena and the care they provide. I met with Ena the day I needed to drop off my guinea pigs for the holidays and I could tell she is so passionate about the care she provides to animals. I received daily communication about my guinea pigs along with a daily picture while out of town. They’re also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times; I didn’t have to miss work to drop off my furbabies and I was able to get them shortly after arriving back in town. This was my first time being away from them for an extended period of time and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for them. If you have small pets and you need a sitter, choose this place. You won’t be disappointed!

I brought my two guinea pigs (Baba Ghanoush and Razzle-Dazzle) to stay at Ensure for a week while I was out of town. I was immediately struck by how much the owner cares about small animals. I had been anxious since I had never boarded the guinea pigs before, but she set my mind at ease and told me exactly how she was going to take care of them while I was gone. The set up is extremely clean and colorful, with lots of safe places for guinea pigs to explore during floor time. They are given lots of attention, fresh hay, and juicy fruits and vegetables. In addition, I was sent detailed updates (with adorable photos) of my guinea pigs almost every day. They returned home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Ensure PetCare and I will certainly be using them again!

When I went on vacation for a week, I was really stressed trying to figure out what to do with my cat and hoping for an alternative to boarding her somewhere that would have her in a cage all day. I found Lena's Ensured PetCare and it was perfect. She was quick to respond and very reasonably priced. My cat got to run around in a home rather than being confined in a kennel, and Lena sent me updates and several photos (two of which are attached) every other day. High quality care and definitely worth it. 10/10 would recommend!

We were happy to board with Ensure PetCare! They were very friendly and communicative and gave lots of love and attention to our buns. The space was cozy, clean and very cute!

I had a great experience boarding my guinea pigs here for two weeks! It was my first time boarding them, so I was pretty nervous, but Lena and Ena took amazing care of them. I got daily updates and photos, they cut their nails, and even bathed them for me! If you're looking for a reliable, professional pet boarding service, look no further!

Took great care of our cat for the week we were gone! Sent lots of photos and detailed descriptions of how he was every day so we didn’t worry. The sitters are very friendly and accommodating, and you can tell they really care about your pets’ well being.

Ensure provided me an excellent service for a great price. While I was on my trip, I was assured that my fur baby was being taken care of. I was given daily updates that included pictures to show that my guinea pig was happy and safe. Drop off and pick up was also an easy process. They are easy to reach and flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. I am grateful I was able to find them before going overseas. Other businesses charged an excessive amount for similar services that weren't worth the price. I will be returning to this business again.

I left my cat Cool with Ensure for almost two weeks. Every day I received an update and photos. Cool roamed free and received lots of stimulation and attention, and even had supervised encounters with other small animals. It was very clear that Ensure is run by true animal lovers. They were flexible with drop off and pick up, responsive to all emails, and very pleasant to deal with. It was the first time I had left Cool with someone and it got to the point where I wondered if he would even want to come home after all of the love and excitement he had at Ensure.

Lena took great care of my cat for 6 weeks while I was traveling at the end of the year. I was nervous to be away for so long but Lena provided update often with videos, snaps and pictures that made me feel at ease. She gave me a great price and I would use her again anytime. My cat was very fond of her.

Highly recommend Ensure! Our rabbits got time to play in tunnels during the day, and they were given tons of attention. We also go daily pics and updates which was awesome. Also the space itself is decorated in the coolest way, it’s so cozy and comfy. I live an hour away, but it was well worth the drive and we’ll definitely be back!

Eric and his team are FANTASTIC. This was the second time utilizing their dog sitting services while out of town, and we left them with their hands full with THREE dogs. But they went above and beyond and we felt completely at ease being out of town! We loved getting regular updates and pictures of the pups, and the dogs were so happy and content when we got home. We appreciate their services so much, and will continue to utilize them in the future- we could not recommend them enough!

We had a wonderful experience with Walk.Play.Love.! Eric, Nick, and Julia took such great care of our family's 3 dogs while we were out of town, including visits and walks. It was so reassuring to know that our dogs were being well taken care of, and they regularly shared updates & photos for each visit. I would definitely recommend Walk.Play.Love for your dog sitting & walking needs!

I wholeheartedly recommend Eric and Walk Play Love. We hired Eric to come over and feed our outdoor cats on long weekends when we were away. He does this with great reliability and care, sending pictures of the cats as he feeds them and even bringing up our newspapers. But it doesn't stop there. Recently our old dog became very ill, and we couldn't find any vet to see him right away. Eric recommended an animal hospital in Rockville, and when I called they were able to see him that day. We recently got another dog who is very young and active. I have consulted Eric on a number of behavioral issues, and he has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We are going to hire him to help us to train our new dog as well. I am so happy that we found Walk Play Love. Look no further if you are looking for a group of people who really care about animals!

We've used Walk Play Love for several months to help with our puppy while we are at work. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Both the owner and our primary dog walker came over to meet our puppy in person before we began, which is typical of the personal touch you get with this local business as opposed to an app. They are flexible, punctual, dedicated, priced fairly, and clearly love animals. They take great pictures of our dog and assume an active role in his development, implementing whatever training and feeding regimen we are using. They earned our trust immediately. I'd give them five stars for customer service alone, but the bottom line is that they take fantastic care of our dog, which is what really matters.

Eric is a fantastic dog trainer. We had been looking, for about a year, for a trainer for our three year old--Wally. The other places we called were too expensive and and impersonal. Eric is the nicest, fun person and very professional. We look forward to his visits when he picks up Wally for private lessons. Wally has dropped his dog aggression and other difficult habits. Another one of Eric's co-workers now takes care of both dogs when we are out of town. I am greatly relieved we found this company. The way to our hearts are through our dogs.

We can't say how thrilled we are to have found Walk Play Love! Our dogs have only ever been cared for by one close friend who we trusted implicitly. We were really nervous to hire a dog-walker but as soon as Eric (WPL Founder) came to our house for a meet and greet, we felt at ease. It's easy to tell when someone is truly a dog person and more importantly, understands that pet parents are highly concerned with the care of their fur-children. Our walker, Joseph, is wonderful! He's great with our boys and they have really taken to him. We're so thankful that they are in good hands when we can't be there. Joseph is also great about sending us photos and updates after each walk. Our needs for walking are not on a set schedule. Eric is great about accommodating us and any special requests we might have for timing, etc. I can't say enough good things and highly recommend them!

We were so glad to find Walk Play Love to help take care of our cats while we are out of town. They are reliable, kind, and very flexible. They have reasonable rates and will provide your pet with excellent care. We really love the online portal where you will get messages and pictures! It's great piece of mind getting regular communications. Definitely check them out, highly recommended!

I thought I could study dog training videos on youtube—and train my dog, Wally, myself. What a joke! I don’t have the time or patience. So I found someone who did. Eric at Walk, Play, Love has excellent training techniques and expertise. He is also kind and gentle with Wally. I highly recommend Eric. He is also friendly with my other family members. So when he comes over for training, Wally and everyone else is happy.

I could not be happier with Eric and his team. They are reliable, caring, and extra-attentive to my pets - my dog walker even brings decorative handmade collars for my dog and cat for each holiday! I get texts each day with photos taken during and after the walks, and when my dog is not feeling well they call and let me know. I LOVE Walk.Play.Love.!!

Update: we have been working from home full time since the pandemic hit and have still had WPL continue visits. Welcoming our first baby last year, WPL has been a real time savor for us during the day. They are reliable and affordable - and most of all our dog loves them! We have been using Eric and Walk.Play.Love services for about 2 years now with our beloved dog Lucy. The WPL team has always been extremely responsive and caring to our dog, which is most important to us. An added bonus is that they are very flexible with our schedule. It's always hard to leave your best friend at home for long periods of time, but it has been a whole lot easier knowing that the WPL team cares for our Lucy as much as we do.

Absolutely amazing experience with paradise for pets! My dog boarded there over the 4th of July weekend and they took such good care of him. The staff made sure to have me come prior to the boarding date to temperament test him to ensure he can safely interact with other dogs. I didn’t expect such a thorough test as kennels I’ve experienced before did not spend hours to get to know your dog. This place is the phenomenal, they truly care about your pets and their wellbeing. Taking the time to ensure they can properly handle the dog in addition to observing behavior of the dog in group settings shows how above and beyond they are willing to go for potential new clients. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in their care, I cannot thank them enough!

This place was so amazing for housing my cat on the same day that I called. It was very difficult for me to find a cat boarding facility and luckily paradise 4 pets had space available and treated my cat very well while I was away. Their pricing is not bad at all and the staff are all so friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. Food and water was provided as well frequently depending on what your cat is used to at home. And for new customers, you get a free night if stay is longer than 4 nights! Will definitely be using paradise 4 pets again in the near future.

Been taking my pup here for the past 5 years, the staff is very friendly. The facility is clean and well kept up. My pup loves to be outside and is able to socialize with other dogs.

The only place in the DMV that I've been able to find where the dogs spend more time outside than in the kennel. Our pup loves it and the staff and prices are great!

We’ve used this place for years with our older beagle and now with our lab. Highly recommend.

I have borded my cat here a few times and it's an excellent facility, with a great staff. It has a separate building just for Cats, that is clean, quiet, and very safe. The walkway to the building is fully enclosed with a Multiple Double Gate System, so no chance of an accidental escape. So even if a Cat were to get scared and get loose, it could get no further than the next locked gate. Since it's completely enclosed with fencing, nothing can climb or jump out. You have to close one gate, before you get to the next one, and a few more gates after that. Completely Enclosed from the Ground and Overhead. Very Safe and Secure. The Cat kennel has Cat Trees, Cat Tunnels, and lots of toys, and windows so your cat can look outside from their Cat tree. Great Facility and Highly Recommended!

Wonderful place to board your dogs! They love it as they think they are going to camp with their furry friends. Friendly, dog-loving staff! My dog Jax gives it 2 paws up! Woof woof!

Paradise for Pets always show care for my Domino and I am very satisfied with the care they give. I just left my pet with them for 2 weeks, and my baby was happy, clean and excited. The staff are wonderful, I am satisfied.

We have brought our dogs here for many years and we are always pleased with the experience. The dogs get plenty of outdoor time and the staff is always caring and meticulous in caring for our pets. We feel very fortunate to have Paradise for Pets accessible to us when we need to leave the area and we are grateful for their caring approach. We have never had a bad experience here and will never think twice about bringing our pets here in the future. Very happy to recommend!

I have only just started bringing my dog to Paradise For Pets but they have been so incredible. They are extremely affordable for an extremely reliable and quality service. They have remembered my dog each time I bring him, remembered all of his allergies and needs, made sure he's 100% comfortable, and always been friendly and responsive. The facility is stunning and kept up very well. My dog truly loves going there every time, he doesn't even look back while I'm leaving (and he's got decent separation anxiety). I cannot say enough good things about this place, your dog truly is in wonderful hands.

Everyone from Prance Around Pet Services has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Their sitters have been so good with my animals. It's not the easiest thing to find someone willing to pet-sit a snake, but Prance Around has sitters familiar with any type of pet you may have. I wish we hadn't moved out of their service area, I have yet to find another pet sitter of their caliber. My animals and I will truly miss the team!

Prance Around Pet Services is the best! Whether they are visiting for daily walks or while you are on vacation, they are the best! My dog is blind, so it is always best for her to remain in my home instead of going into boarding. I can always count on Prance Around to show up and take good care of my girl. They write detailed notes about their visits and send the best photos of the time that they spend with my dog. It is very easy to schedule services on their website, and the owner responds quickly to texts and messages whether by phone or the chat feature on their website. Their prices are also very reasonable.

After searching and reviewing many companies that provided pet services, I came across Prance Around Pet Services. I don’t regret choosing them. The owner Joelyne was very professional and provided me with all the information and services I needed for my dog Dr. Strange. We are both very happy!

They are fantastic. Take great care of my fur baby. My apt is difficult to access isolated floors. No problem for Prance Around staff. My cat Charley's personality is, how did vet put it? Fractious with people and change. I just call her my baby Bi?&h! When I travel they send me photos and reports of my baby girl and it eases my heart knowing she well cared for in my absence. Cannot recommend them enough!!

We have been a client of Prance Around Pet Services for five years, and have only the highest praise for Joelyne and her team. It's given us such peace of mind to know that our two cats are so well cared-for any time we are out of town. The sitters are always prompt and send timely reports (with photos, when the kitties will allow it). I would recommend this company with zero reservations.

Love, love LOVE Prance Around! They love what they do, and go the extra mile (pun intended!). They took care of our sweet "shorkie-mix" Lulu for nearly 14 years before she passed away, and gave us great advice on our new doggie, a VERY active rat-terrier bread. The owner and founder even came to our home to meet our new dog "Birdie," and recommend a harness that would help us contain our very loving but escape-artist dog. We know our pets are in the best of hands with Prance Around.

Caring and professional so far. I was a little apprehensive leaving my two new-ish kittens alone for the first time, and having a stranger come into my house, but I found these guys on a Google search they treated me and the cats very well. Being a local business with accountable owners and dedicated employees makes it worth the premium (but reasonable) price. Definitely plan on having them as my go-to cat service. Tried recommending them to a coworker today but turns out he already uses them!

Prance Around hires the best petsitters ever. No matter who they send to my home, they quickly bond with my two furkids and the daily email reports aren't just informational, they provide details that assure me the sitter really "gets" my pets. In fact, my favorite pictures of my beasts was taken by one of the petsitters. I've used this company for years and if you live in one of their service areas, you should use them as well.

Hello, I went out of town for 4 days mid January and Prance around pet services provided exceptional care for my cat Diamond. Everyday I received an email with pictures and details about how my cat was doing. She was well taken care of while I traveled. I will definitely book with Prance around Pet services again. I give them 5/5 star review.

We cannot recommend Prance Around Pet Services more highly! This service has been a life-saver for our busy family with a high-energy pup! The owners and employees are all professional, courteous, dependable, and accommodating. Everyone we have met from Prance Around Pets seems to truly love animals, and we have complete confidence our high-energy pup is in good hands during her daily walk. Our pup is always excited to see her dog walker, and tired and happy when she gets back home.
