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.

Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!
Jasmine is a five-star sitter. She is everything you want in a sitter when you go away and leave your beloved pet and home. She is reliable, communicative, respectful, and flexible. We had no worries about our dog or home while we were away, and will be having Jasmine sit for us again soon. Our home was immaculate when we got home, and our dog was obviously well-cared-for. Can't say enough good things about this wonderful human.
Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
Ray and Lynn are absolutely the best pet sitters you could ask for. They were extremely responsive to texts and emails and chatted with us over WhatsApp before the sit. They were very flexible and arrived the night before our sit so we could leave early the next morning. They even brought us ice cream because it was Joe's birthday the day they arrived. Very thoughtful of them. They are very friendly, relaxed people that are easy to talk to. Our dogs immediately bonded to Lynn upon their arrival. The first morning our cat managed to sneak outside and was MIA overnight despite their valiant efforts to get him to return. Ray tried to capture him but our cat fought with him and escaped again before eventually returning the next morning. Unfortunately Ray was scratched and bit by the cat during this struggle. He developed an infection in his hand. We did offer to come home or find a replacement sitter so they could return to the US but they were able to get medical attention here and antibiotics. They are so kind and didn't want to ruin our vacation! Two days before we were to arrive home the infection in Ray's hand took a turn for the worse and they had no choice but to head home to the US to get immediate medical care. They waited for our friend to arrive before departing. We were so impressed with them that even under these stressful circumstances they cleaned our house and laundered the sheets. Our kitchen cupboards looked better organized than before we left. Our garden was watered and well cared for during the heat wave. They were excellent at sending updates and photos throughout the sit. Our dogs were very happy and well cared for. We cannot recommend them highly enough!
Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away! One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day. Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions. She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away. Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip. The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas. Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

Charley, my Havanese, has stayed with Top of the Bay while I was hospitalized and received the best of care. They have done a great job with his grooming. I am very pleased with Greg and his staff.
This is a great place to take your pet for lodging. My dog has stayed here two different times and comes home happy and healthy. He got groomed here as well and the groomer did a great job! Highly recommend this place!
This place used to be "Top of the Bay"Now it is rundown and shabby looking, Overpriced,And now they exploit dogs with these ridiculous dog shows,And obedience training,Which is done cruelly,Skip this place and go to Keverton or Goldenwood
They take care of the dogs, however the place is run down and disorganized! The kennels are clean, but the facilities need a really good cleaning & overall makeover! The layout is so dysfunctional it causes the employees to spend so much time running in circles! This place needs to be torn down & built over to be functional & run properly & smoothly!
We have been using Top of the Bay for years and love the staff! Extremely friendly and I love that the owner lives on site so the animals are never alone. My English Mastiff can be very timid - the first two times I practically had to drag him in - by the 3rd time his tail wags, he is excited, and walks right on in. The only draw back is the appearance, the place is a little outdated - not a fancy dog spa. But personally, I care more about the staff and how they treat the animals.
They were very accommodating. I drove in from out of town and they saw me when I got in. They took great care of my cat, Athena, and dog, Zeus. My pets did NOT want to leave. Plus, they had so much fun that they slept the entire ride home, which was about an hour and a half. They did not have too much energy the next day either. Lol! I go to St. Michael's about 10 times a year so I will be stopping back at Top of the Bay Pet Lodge again.
Love the team here. Great for boarding, and also training. The staff really cares about your dog - it's good to know your buddy is being cared in great manner. Will continue to use this nice place.
We boarded our 2 three year old beagles here for 4 days. The place is very dated, but it appears safe. They use a two gate system to keep dogs in, which was our main concern given the nature of beagles. The reason for my review is for the extremely poor, rushed nail trimming job they did on one of our beagles. We called over 5 hours before pickup to state that we would arrive around 5-5:30PM to pickup our dogs; we arrived at 5:20PM. When we walked in, they indicated that they had forgotten to clip our one dogs toes. They said they would do it right then. They did, and the $20 nail trim took all of about 2 mins. This was shocking to me, as our vet and normal groomer usually take much longer, but nonetheless we paid our bill and left. About 10 mins later down the road we noticed blood everywhere on my wife's shirt, front seat, and dash. Four nails, one on each of her paws were bleeding very heavily. It was not a small drop of blood, but a very noticeable and alarming amount. They were cut way, way too short. We live close by and immediately called the pet lodge to notify them of what was going on, and ask what we needed to do. Their comment to my wife was, "this happens here all the time, just put some baking soda on them or anything startchy." They did not offer any apology whatsoever, and frankly acted surprised that we would call them with such a small issue as having a dog with 4 profusely bleeding toe nails. It is also not common with professional nail trimming, and it has never happened at any point in the past when we have had them done at our vets office or normal groomer. We have always paid someone to do it because we understood how incredibly painful it is for them to get cut too short. After this treatment we could never trust them to provide any service for our dogs, and frankly have serious concerns for their grooming ability and judgment. It would be one thing if it was one nail, and they apologized; dogs can move, I get it. This, however, was a botched rushed job that resulted in extreme pain for the dog, 4 bloody toenails, blood all over my car, and an excuse that "it happens all the time."
They do a great job grooming my fluffy corgi. And believe me, there's a ton of fluff to groom. My pup is always excited to go visit and is always happy and ready when I pick him up. Would definitely recommend.
Yesterday I took my little Shitzu Poo to Top of the Bay for grooming. I didnt realize how scruffy Rugby was until they bought out Rugby after grooming...I now have a show dog ! I was so excited. They not only made my dog beautiful, the groomer gave me so much info on this breed of dog without me even asking. I'm just so impressed with Top of the Bay and their staff.
We brought our 4 year old German shepherd/ husky for a last minute stay. They were extremely accommodating, provided photos, a report card and provided exceptional care to our baby. He got to go for a nature walk, have some yard time and play in the pool which is his favorite activity in the world! Staff was extremely lovely and we can’t wait to come back!! Photo is after pick up! He’s usually awake in the car!
I was a little apprehensive about taking my two dogs to a kennel. They are 5 and 7 years old and normally they stay at home with a sitter when we go away. My dogs made out fine and were very happy when we picked them up after a 14 day stay. I will certainly take them back to Golden Wood when we go on our next trip!
The staff is very nice and the care they give is individualized to the pet. My animals are always happy and relaxed when I pick them up. The facility has been modernized and is very clean and attractive.
It's hard to have someone else watch your pets but I really trust Golden Wood. Their communication is amazing and it's so wonderful to be able to book online. My dog and my cat have both stayed at Golden Wood and I will continue to bring them here when I go out of town. The staff is very helpful and I am so happy knowing my pets are in good hands!
Golden Wood is a great place to leave your pet while you are on vacation. We have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and she is very lovable. They have a wonderful staff, and they just love when Abigail smiles at them. We really get to enjoy our vacation knowing that they are taking great care of our Abigail while we are away. Golden Wood definitely gets 5 stars and hands down the best place to leave your pets. I will highly recommend them to anyone who asks where to leave their pets. #1goldenwood kennels is the BEST
We have used Golden Wood Kennels numerous times for our two dogs. We love the staff and our dogs love the staff, which is the most important thing. Love getting pics of their snuggle time and we always feel comfortable boarding them there, knowing they will be safe, comfortable and most of all LOVED!!!!
Kelley R. gave our pup her first haircut and it is adorable! Our pup doesn't have her confidence yet with new situations and people and this made me nervous leaving her for grooming. But I felt she was safe at Golden Wood and obviously Kelley was able to keep her calm and gave her an awesome haircut. We will be back.
Kelley always does a fantastic job grooming our dogs. They leave looking beautiful and happy. Our boy Mateo says 4 paws up!
Would highly recommend Golden Wood in Oxford for a wonderful home away from home! Very caring, and loved receiving the daily pics of my Zazel.
Goldenwood was perfect! Daily updates on Bella with pictures and she came home happy, healthy and clean!
I never thought the day would ever come when I could comfortably leave my corgi at home when we had to go away. Then I met Ashley! She is amazing with my Skye, and has the patience and knowledge to turn a corgi with separation anxiety into a loyal puppy who loves and trusts her. Skye gets SO EXCITED when Ashley walks into the house! And Ashley excels at communication, sending daily photos and reports to put my mind at ease. Skye has so much fun with her – when we returned home, she was happy to see us, but I could tell she was still wondering where Ashley went! Thank you so much Ashley for taking such good care of my dog.
Ashley is amazing! As you can see from the pics she sent below, my dogs Tito and Ringo absolutely love her and had a blast. She did a wonderful job caring for them for a week, which is no easy feat with two border collies and a muddy yard. So much so, we look forward to working with her as a trainer too. I highly recommend Ashley and feel lucky to have found her.
Ashley was amazing with my dogs. Even gave my newf a nickname that we use still! She was always on time and kept me posted on how my boys were and sent pics sometimes! Definitely a great person to take care of any animal!!!
We were going away for three days and didn’t have anyone to come feed our senior dog and our cat. Found Ashley from a Facebook group. I am so happy we found her. She was amazing with our senior dog. I am really picky about how he is taken care of and she was perfect. Can’t recommend her enough. If you need someone definitely give her a call.
Ashley is amazing with our small dog. We are not comfortable leaving our dog with any kennel but Ashley makes us feel at ease! Will continue to use her in the future!
We have had the opportunity to get to know Ashley and her supportive crew for our golden doodle Sox. I must say that when we leave Sox behind, we are never riddled with the usual guilt ("he's going to miss us so much, etc"). We literally drop him off and he jauntily trots right up to Ashley's front door without a look at us as we depart. He's super happy there, and that tells us that Ashley is providing a safe and happy place for our little guy. Totally recommend!
Ashley is absolutely amazing with our yellow lab rescue dog, H. New environments can be stressful for H, but Ashley makes her literally feel right at home. Ashley sends us pictures of H curled up and sleeping on the couch or snuggled next to the nearest human, just like she would be at home. Having a reliable pet sitter that our dog loves gives us peace of mind when we travel and we are so grateful to have Ashley nearby.
Ashley is amazing and very knowledgeable. We used her for training and she really listened to the issues we were having and was so reassuring that she could help us. We were at a critical point of overwhelm with our “rescued” pup and her boot camp training turned everything around. She is incredibly compassionate and intuitive to dogs and humans alike which makes her an absolute gem and lifesaver to our family. Our dog clearly both loves and respects her. She is available to us ongoing as small issues arise and her expertise and care has been invaluable. We can’t recommend Ashley enough!
Ashley is awesome! She helped train my deaf dog Gulliver and he stays with her whenever I go out of town. She keeps me up-to-date with photos of him playing with his friends as well as lounging in her house, so I always know he is in good hands! I highly recommend her services.
Absolutely the best pet sitter!!!! Right at Home Pet Sitting took time and care with each of our fur babies. Sent pictures and updates daily. Which let us know how they were and we got to see them every day!! This is the ONLY pet sitter we will ever use. Thank you for helping and loving our babies like your own!!!
We took our two beagle puppies there for the day while we attended a Graduation on the Western Shore. When we went to pick them up, they were happy and playing. They took great care of our babies while we were gone. I would definitely take them back whenever I needed a daycare or a boarding place. I highly recommend them!!
Thank you for taking amazing care of our girls, they’ve had an overnight stay and grooming here - love this place!
This was my first time visiting peace of mind pet boarding and I will never choose another place but this. I needed both of my dogs’ toenails trimmed. I was very anxious about the whole process, but everyone was super friendly and competent and made the whole process seamless.
Peace of Mind Boarding does a great job in caring for my doggie. I just used them recently and their professionalism, clean and modern facilities, and responsive staff surely gave me peace of mind. I will definitely board my dog there again. The photo is of my happy doggie after 8 days boarding.
What a wonderful place to board your pet. My Maggie spent 6 days at Peace of Mind and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. The owner worked with me when my flight was delayed and I couldn't pick Maggie up until the next day. Best part is that even with separation anxiety, Maggie didn't have to take any meds. I have already booked her next stay . LOVE ❤️ 😍 💖
Highly recommend ❣️They are the absolute best and truly care for your pet. This was the best haircut my dog has had in 11 years🥰 …
Just picked up our dog Nelly from Peace of Mind and she will def be back again next time we go out of town!!! Brittney and Heather are so nice and really care about each pup like they were their own 💕 When they brought our dog Nelly out for pick up, I could tell right away that Nelly LOVED them both and had been well taken care of while we were away. They even washed her bedding for us after she had an accident on her first night, which was so super nice of them to do!
I called last minute to get our dog in for a simple bath and they got her in and did a great job. They were super friendly and kind. We will be definitely using them again.
Jess is very upbeat and you can tell she loves her job. My dog looks great and had a great experience. She truly cares about her clients. Thank you for a wonderful experience and we will be back!
Love this place! The staff are so kind, and seem to enjoy my little dog, even though she's an ornery little puppy.. She loved being there! It was a great vacation for us and for her. I used to kennel my cat here before she passed, now they are looking after my puppy. There's no place I would trust more. Appropriately named, Peace of Mind!
A year ago, I met The Freckled Pair when I needed to be with my daughter for a period of time. It was the 1st time I'd ever left my kitties for more than a day or two. I was so anxious and texted them many times each day. They would respond quickly and sent many pictures so I knew things were okay. Since then I've depended on them many times and know how much my kitties like to see them. They've even mastered one of the shy, scared ones to come out and get petted. I love these two ladies and don't know what I would do without them. They are loving to the animals, professional, and dependable. I feel like they are part of our family!❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Freckled Pair are the best! They provided excellent care for my 2 quirky cats (who choose to live on different floors) while I was away. I truly appreciated the daily updates and pictures. I highly recommend these two lovely ladies.
….the best cat sitters on the eastern shore.... we recently used the Freckled Pair for a second time for a longer visit of twice daily checking on our cats, and I must state that they did a phenomenal job of not only giving our cats- much needed daily attention , but they kept in touch, sent pics, took care of the house and left us feeling completely secure that our furbabies were in the best of hands! one of the cats is quite shy but they even managed to get her to come out to them(remarkable!!) absolutely recommend them to any anxious pet owners who need quality care from two of the sweetest n most professional people around... thank you both!
