Dog Sitters in Lothian, MD

I have been using Sandy as our dog walker since 2018 and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her business. They go above and beyond and truly treat your dogs like family. My two labs absolutely adore them. When I am away I never have to worry about them because I know Sandy well take amazing care of them. Sandy is 100% reliable and always responsive! She gives updates everytime she sees the pups. You will not go wrong choosing her for your pet care needs!

Sandy is great! She walked my dog daily for 10+ years. Very warm, friendly, thoughtful and accommodating. Most importantly, she is very knowledgeable about dogs and cats. She has helped we with suggestions many times. She has helped with giving pills as well. My dog loved her! I have used other dog walking services before and they were fine but Sandy adds that extra touch that makes you feel like she cares as much about your pet as you do.

Sandy Hayward of Alternative Pet Care MD is absolutely amazing! She has been taking care of our dog for many years now and we love her! Our dog Chelsea, probably likes her better than she likes us, lol. Sandy is kind, loving, competent, reliable and professional. Over the years, she has provided not only optimal care for Chelsea, but also advice and support when our aging dog has had health issues. Any pet family who is lucky enough to employ Sandy, is lucky indeed!!

I can’t say enough good things about Alternative Pet Care! Sandy has been caring for our dogs for over 10+ years now and she’s the absolute best! Our pups are always happy to see her when she comes to our home. She provides us with daily updates while in her care & we are always confident that they are given the same love, care and attention that they are given at home.

Alternative Pet Care MD is truly a five star pet service. Sandy shows great concern and care for our dogs. The pet care is trustworthy, convenient and professional which makes it easier for us to leave our pets. Sandy sends us daily pictures of the status of each of our dogs. Tahoe, Axel and Hilton love Sandy and do a little happy dance when they see her. Alternative Pet Care MD also did a great job caring for our elderly dog meeting his medical/special needs. Sandy has been an absolute blessing and we don’t know what we would do without her.

What a wonderful experience we had today with Sandy!! She taught me several things about our dogs that I didn’t even know about… Very professional and thorough with her job .. She cares about our pets as much as we do and is such a lovely person… What a joy to know her! Couldn’t be any happier with her business, and would recommend her to absolutely anyone!

Sandy went above and beyond taking care of my kitty. She even brought her toys! It means a lot to me to have a reliable service to care for my pet while I’m gone. Having a trustworthy person come over daily gives peace of mind that everything is good at home. Sandy’s communication skills are top notch and she is very warm and friendly; she became a friend instantly. I received daily updates and pictures of my kitty. Alternative Pet Care MD is the best service in the area.

I can’t recommend Sandy and Alternative Pet Care enough! She has taken care of my diabetic kitty for me when I go out of town and she is amazing! She treats my kitty like her own… she administers his insulin injections twice a day, makes sure that he’s eating enough, cuddles and plays with him, and sends me pictures and updates on how he’s doing every day! On top of the top notch services that she provides, she is one of the most sweetest and most thoughtful people I have ever met and you don’t ever have to worry about your pet’s care in her hands. I can’t recommend her enough!!

I am so very grateful to have found Sandy who is the owner of Alternative Pet Care. She lovingly cared for my Moe kitty who is diabetic and seventeen years old. Sandy visited twice a day and monitored his eating before injecting insulin. She snuggled with him and even recommended a variety of new cat foods he could try to stimulate his appetite. She visited my home before my vacation to get to know Moe and his surroundings. Sandy kept me updated every day and sent pictures of Moe. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring and just an absolutely wonderful person. I just wish there were more people in our world like Sandy! Lisa H

We love Sandy! We have used Alternative pet Care for About 9 years. They are super friendly, very reliable and feel like they absolutely love your pets. Puddles seems very content when we come back home. Trusting your pet and home isn’t easy but you are in great hands with Alternative Pet Care! I recommend them 100%.

My cats Kali and Kazper had a wonderful stay, when I went to pick them up, all the ladies working were very friendly and said how much they loved them and would miss them. The report card was super cute too! So glad that my babies were loved and cared for while I was away.

Our golden boy Milo had such a wonderful first day at the resort. From the kind and welcoming staff at the front desk to all the handlers who greeted Milo with warm and loving ways, we’re so thrilled we found this property. The entire facility is clean, organized, and cozy. This is what I imagine a five star pet resort should be and they’re providing an outstanding service to all fur babies.

They went above and beyond to find a space for my dogs when my husband had to have surgery even though they were fully booked and had a wait list. My dogs have always received the most wonderful care at the Perfect Pet Resort. They go out of their way to make each and every visit special. The have my highest recommendation for quality boarding and pet care.

We’ve had two dogs who’ve stayed repeatedly. We continue to drive almost an hour, even though we moved far away, because we KNOW this is the best place for our animals to stay when we’re out of town. They are accommodating and get to know individual pet needs. Their base package lets dogs out three times a day!! It’s a wonderful facility and the only place that didn’t make our first dog quiver upon returning (she was a bit nervous everywhere else, she’d stand up and wag when we pulled into the PPR driveway). Highly recommend

Care here is second to NONE! Many times we've have our young lab groomed here, boarded, and in its great programs for new pet owners. Staff are more than friendly, they're genuinely invested in making our dog's every experience there the very best it can be - from providing advice we need to properly raise her, to actually demonstrating their expertise...truly unparalleled services!! We can compare Perfect Pet Resort to many other options, this isn't just our opinion...it's actual experience. The way our dog behaves after each visit: she's clearly happy, relaxed, and obviously better than when she arrived. That's why we rely on Perfect Pet Resort: results worth writing this review.

Our very particular (and skittish) German shepherds do so well here and the staff is so caring and kind. The dogs get so much space compared to other facilities. We always feel so safe leaving them with Perfect Pet!

Joseph is a veteran! We love you! Thank you for taking really great care of him! Joseph has done training, daycare and boarding! We love the staff and really enjoy getting the report cards after his stay!

I brought my 6 month old puppy in for a training assessment with Butch. The assessment cost me $65 and lasted all of 20 minutes. The trainer was seated for the majority of the time and essentially told me that I had a good puppy. He barely interacted with my dog other than to tell him to sit a few times. My dog already sits pretty well. Maybe I expected too much. The trainer’s demeanor was cold and dry towards me. I felt like I was bothering him. He didn’t seem to show any warmth until he could tell that we were ready to leave. I’m disappointed because I heard great things about this place. I don’t know the degree of “assessment” the guy could have done in 20 minutes and only a few seconds of interaction with my dog. I feel like I was grifted and now I’m reluctant to try another trainer or class from this establishment.

A perfect pet resort. The well-maintained lawn, the buildings, the beddings for dogs, plenty of natural ground space , etc. —a perfect recipe! All looks very clean. The front desk and field staffs are friendly and professional. Our pup had his Orientation Day there and he seemed happy and not overwhelmed after picking him up. We are trying a Daycare next and we plan to try their Lodging after. Hope it all works out. The resort has so much to offer including Spa for pets.

Perfect Pet has the right name. I love leaving my mini goldendoodle with them. I am never concerned or worried about her care. She is so happy there. The staff is loving and caring. The communicate with you if any concerns are issues. I have been using Perfect Pet for three yrs and each time I was extremely happy with the care of Bella Dora. If you are looking for a Safe caring experienced Kennel - perfect pet resort is you please. I don't like using the word kennel when I speak of perfect pet becuase it is luxurious pet resort.

Quality Time has been caring for my pets while I’m away for over 10 years. It’s nice to get to vacation without worrying about my fur babies. Ella was my sitter for my most recent trip. She was awesome! She sent updates and photos each visit. My pets were happy and safe with Ella.

Toby is a long-haired Chihuahua and he is very difficult when getting his nails clipped.Quality time handled him with care and did a great job👍 …

Marie and the folks at Quality Time have been very helpful in caring for our creatures when we travel. They are thorough and responsive and truly seem to care for the pets in their charge.

Marie has a gold star company! I fully endorse Quality Time for their commitment to ensuring customers and fur babies are taken care of. Laura, our dog walker, exemplifies the highest standards and made sure both of my dogs were happy. Especially considering that one of my dogs is a bit slow to trust new people. She navigated that beautifully. I highly recommend Marie and Quality Time.

Quality Time pet sitting cared for my indoor and outdoor cats and were wonderful! I will certainly use them again. Marie and Rob are so friendly and care deeply about animals. My indoor cat is not usually social with people she does not know but Rob was able to become her friend! He was the best! I would highly recommended them.

Absolutely love Quality Time! I'm a former dog walker and this company meets and exceeds all my expectations! Making appointments is super easy and their price is reasonable. Ruth has been our pet sitter and I always feel comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She is a super warm person who I knows really cares about our little pets! My pets love her too - it's like a treat when they get to see her! She always leaves notes and will text if she needs anything! I'm super happy with their service and highly recommend them to anyone.

We hired Quality Time to take care of our retriever and cat. They offered a lot of other services, like watering plants, bringing in mail, etc. I appreciated the attention to detail for both animal care and the logistics for the house.

We love Quality Time! Marie is great to work with and we never have problems with the reservation or payment processes. Vickie has been caring for our cats for a few years now - including our diabetic cat - and she is fantastic! Even our cranky cat loves her, and she does a wonderful job caring for them and taking care of stuff around the house in our absence (getting the mail, opening and closing blinds, etc.). We couldn't be happier to recommend their services!

We’re thankful for the great team at Quality Time! From the most thorough introduction meeting I’ve ever experienced with a pet sitter, to great communication and superb attention to directions and details, we’re happy we chose Quality Time!

Quality time is made up of caring professional people. When I had need for a mid-day dog walk they were more than glad to cover that. When I had need for an evening visit they were there for me. They are bonded and insured and love working with pets.

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!

I've had a great experience with Fetch Pet Care and regularly use them to care for my cats while I'm away. They are super responsive, reliable, and professional. Robin is my regular caregiver, and he loves the cats, sends me emails everyday to confirm he was there and give an update, so I am always sure they are cared for.

My experience thus far with Fetch! has been nothing short of excellent. Their customer service is always quick, flexible, and helpful! Their GPS tracking app shows where your dog was walked, updates you on their business and even allows the walker to send pictures. You never wonder if they cut your time short because all of the information is sent to you after every walk. The best part about this service is that I lucked out with my awesome dog walker Crystal. She has been so pleasant to work with, and she always puts up with my crazy dog mom requests. Thanks Fetch!

I've used Fetch twice now, and I've been very pleased thus far. It's SUPER easy to schedule. They are great communicators before, during and after the service provided. Care giver meets up to learn the ropes prior to the scheduled visits. It's nice that you can give them instructions (such as recycling or watering plants). When we arrived home from being gone for a week, it's like our cats didn't even notice we were gone. :/ Of course, they're cats. ;) Anyway, great peace of mind knowing they were cared for during our trip. I'd def use Fetch again.

After years of elaborate arrangements to take care of our pets, my neighbor told me about Fetch. Fetch is a godsend. They responded quickly and I was able to get the exact coverage I needed when I needed it. We have used the almost overnight and overnight options. I like that I got to meet our petsitter, Kylee, and that we can ask for her again (and again!). Our dogs are getting lots of walks and personal attention. Our sitter stays in close communication with us and sends lots of pictures, along with the more official emails from Fetch. Easy to reserve, great service. I love Fetch! We have already used them twice, and have scheduled a third. Our dogs are so happy to see our sitter and sad to see her go.

We love our pet care professional Cherry! She provides timiley updates when we are away and truely loves our dog Holden. Fetch is super easy to use and very responsive to our needs, even if it's last minute. I will continue to recommend their services to friends and family.

Veronica was amazing! When she came by to get the key the cats immediately liked her. She sent very detailed texts about the cats while I was gone and also sent photos. It was really nice and made me feel like my cats were in good hands. Also, when I got home I could tell they were still happy and relaxed (they act a little whacky if they don't get enough attention when I'm gone), so I could see that Veronica spent a lot of time with them. Everything was perfect. I would definitely use Fetch again, but unfortunately I'm moving soon.

Fetch! is extremely flexible and conveniant. Every staff member is friendly, helpful and efficient. This is one the best services I have ever received from any company. Last minute plans and need to cancel a walk at 11pm the night before? No problem. I literally got a response to my email and an updated invoice after 10minutes. Even if when our dog was injured and needed specific care the walker was more than happy to help. Just outstanding service all round.

Fetch! was not only amazing with my dog, they came to my rescue in a time of need very quickly! I was out of town and the original person who planned to take my dog out cancelled the day before. I had no one else to let my dog out and a few other companies were unwilling or unable to meet my request in such short notice. Not only did Fetch! come to my rescue and let out my dog, they sent an amazing person who was able to easily coax out my extremely shy old dog and then took her on a long walk and left her with a good scratch and a treat! I will absolutely be using Fetch! again and recommend to everyone!

Sophia provided our family with a great sense of relief. Our plans to travel during the holidays were cancelled at the last minute but we kept the service anyway. Our days were very hectic and it was wonderful to know that the pets had additional love, care, no feedings and fresh litter boxes overlooked during this busy time. Our dog Lucy was a big fan and would watch/wait for her at her scheduled arrival time. Two thumbs up!

Our cat is like a child to us, so making sure someone is taking great care of him is very important to us. It's very easy to book and they're extremely prompt at emailing me back when I have questions. Stephanie took excellent care of our cat, we couldn't be happier! No complaints!

Top notch dog boarding & daycare business. My wife and I boarded out 11 month old puppy here for two weeks and we have zero hesitation about taking her back in the future. The regular feedback and updates we received while away was very comforting. While we were there for drop off and pick up we could easily tell this is a well run operation that cares about their staff performance and our pets.

This place is the Ritz. My 18 year old dog sprints around like a puppy after staying here- he loves it. Highly recommend. Edited: A year and a half in and he still loves it. They're friendly and helpful and communicative- 10/10 would recommend. Yes, it's expensive, but most places out here are and offer signficantly worse care.

We have boarded our dog Wallace at the Dogwood Acres Davidsonville location twice. Last week we had to go overseas on short notice and thankfully they had space. It gave us peace of mind to know he was there while we were so far away. The staff is lovely and caring, the facility is clean and I really appreciate how stringent they are with making sure any pet boarding there is up to date on vaccines, including the canine influenza vaccine. Receiving texts, photos and access to the webcams also helped us know our furry friend, who can be a bit shy with new people, was settling in and doing well throughout his stay. He came home clean, tired from all the play sessions and nature walks and didn’t miss a beat settling back into his home schedule, which for us is a good indication of how he was well cared for during his stay. Thank you and great job Dogwood Acres team!

Been trying to get my dog in fir her first day. Keep leaving voicemails. We get calls back and gave been playing phone tag for 2 weeks. Is it to hard to answer your phones when someone calls? Or maybe schedule something when we had the tour? Horrible business practices. GO ANYWHERE ELSE. if they can't answer the phone to give them money, how will they act when they are taking care of your pets.

A week long retreat cost me $1000 for 2 dogs. My dogs appeared to have had a great time and the staff legit seemed to love animals. The facility is nice and cozy, I liked the fact that they have web cams up so you can check in on the 4 legged family members. They lost a star when my 2 dogs came home with kennel cough and diarrhea however. That was another fun vet bill!

Very bad experience with Dogwood Acres in Davissonville. Took our dog in for day care. We took the pain to send vaccine records several weeks ahead and got confirmation of receipt. However, the young lady at the reception could not locate the records. We insisted that she take the time to find the documents. Finally we had to show the hard copies of the records. The young lady did apologize for the incident. We were totally frustrated with her her inept ability. Clearly, she was inexperience. We might have raised our voice in frustration but never used any curse words. That afternoon my wife received a call from the Customer Service. We had to call her back. The Customer Service lady was anything but providing customer service. She told us that there is not a fit for our dog meaning that they will not accept our dog in the future. No attempt to understand our version of the incident. Very negative attitude in all respects. Very rude response by the Customer Service lady. Do not go here. It is not what the newspaper has described the place to be.

Around 2017 was the first time we used Dogwood Acres(Davidsonville). We took our 2 cats for a little over a week long boarding. Katniss and Torie. Torrie was still a kitten. The staff were great with my kitties. I figured they would be since Torie was still a kitten....lol. Seriously though, I loved the updates about how they were doing while we were so far away. I also appreciated the tour of the cat area so I could see where they would be. This year (2023) we used the Stevensville location for our new puppy when a family member passed. Davidsonville didn't have any openings and it was really short notice. They fit us in within 48 hours. The staff was absolutely incredible. Super sweet, patient because Dude (yes, that's our pups name...lol) wasn't to sure about the strange people trying to take him away from me. I had to extend his visit once we were able to schedule the funeral, and one more time when I realized my mom needed me a little longer. We didn't pack enough food for the second extension, but they offered their food. Huge relief. When we got there to pick him up he acted like he didn't want to leave. It made my heart happy since I had just gone through such a tough time, and I felt guilty for extending his time. I've used them twice since then and as soon as he sees where we are he gets excited. We recently had a pet event at my work and Dogwood Acres donated items to put in our "doggy bags" for customers. I made sure to tell everyone that had never heard of them about my experience. Thank you so much for making my pup's stay there a good one. I will always recommend you guys.

As a first time customer with Dogwood, my experience was not good at all. I was told that I’d receive photos of my dog’s stay however, I did not. When I picked up my dog today, the receptionist said the photos were supposed to be sent on Sunday and that she could see if they could be sent today. I told her that it’s no point now since I’m here to pick up my dog. I thought the point of photos was to share with owners how their dog is doing during their stay. What would be the purpose of sending photos after pickup? I spent my entire trip worrying if my dog was alive and well because no photos or communications were sent to me. I received a report this morning at 6AM , my scheduled pickup was 8AM. It would’ve been nice to receive the report earlier. Additionally, my dog’s favorite toy and recent birthday gift was lost during the stay. I was told that if it’s found I will receive a call. The combination of no photos and losing his toy is why we won’t be returning. I was hoping he’d have a good experience but this is too much. I had to leave Dogwood this morning before I went off on someone and acted out of character. This is unacceptable and left a terrible impression.

Our little Yorki-Poo-Chi loves staying at Dogwood Acres. He hasn't mentioned anything he'd like to see changed. The staff are all super friendly, and the rates are very reasonable for what he receives.

Went for a tour and the outside in the back smelled like weed being smoked!!! I don’t know if anyone lives in the house that connects to the building but i know someone was smoking weed close to where the dogs were. I will not be bringing my dog here weed is not safe for them to be around

We have an indoor/outdoor cat and a couple times a year we go on a weekend trip. C-PUP has always provided great service for our critter and has always been there, even on short notice. They feed our cat, top off or change the water, clean the litter, give some pets and playtime, email us a picture of our cat, and bring our mail and packages inside once a day. They've taken care of our cat when we decided to leave her in the house or outside. They have also kept our garden alive during summer trips by watering for a little extra charge. I would highly recommend C-PUP! We have used their services a couple times a year for the past 5 years or so.

We've been working with C-PUP for dog walking and dog sitting for over a year now. If you are looking for a walker or in-home sitting service, I'll assume that your fur family members are incredibly important to you and you want to make sure they are getting the best care possible. C-PUP provides just that. They are incredibly professional, well-organize, thorough and meticulous when it comes to understanding what your pet needs for care. We have three dogs of various ages, including a senior dog that requires extra-special care and C-PUP is incredibly attentive to all of their different needs. They are wonderfully communicative as well, especially during over-night pet-sitting. Your fur family will be in wonderful hands with C-PUP.

Over the years, all of our cats have been well taken care of by C-Pup. They are a pleasure to work with, trustworthy, and they always keep us posted (text msg and e-mail) on how things are going with our fur babies. Also, for us what is very important is that they are a local neighborhood business. Being local means being able to provide their services quickly.

I LOVE C-PUP! We have used them over the past few years and they are fantastic! Shannon (owner) is very professional, thorough in interviewing dog(s) owner(s), getting detailed information on what the needs and desires are of owners and pets!!! She is incredibly organized and meticulous in ensuring that pets and owners may leave each other with an easy mind. All of her staff have been generous, patient, lovely people who treat us (humans and pets) with great care! A detailed report card is left at each visit outlining the activities our dogs performed, their affect, and notes on the overall visit. We have traveled and used C-PUP for home stays and also as a dog walking service. Our dogs have become so familiar with C-PUP staff that it's as if another family member is with them. Wonderful, wonderful people and service. I can't say enough good things about Shannon and C-PUP! I recommend them to anyone and everyone expressing an interest in pet services. Our dogs love them; we love them!

C-PUP has been walking our two dogs for over 2 years and they both still run to the door to great C-PUP's walkers every time they come to the house. They've been very easy to work with for both their dog walking services and their pet sitting services. C-PUP is super responsive, and incredibly flexible when plans change at the last minute. I can't recommend them enough!!

I have used C-PUP for several years now, and I am pleased and thankful that I can really count on them to provide great care to my pets when I'm out of town! I'm the proud mom of two kitties, and C-PUP has been excellent in their care of the pets. The owner is responsive, the prices are very reasonable and the staff that care for my guys provide a full report upon return, with some personalized notes so you know they are not just in and out, but truly care for your pet, which is priceless. They've always addressed my needs and are very professional. I could not be happier, and relieved that if its not me, its C-PUP!

We have been clients of C-PUP Pet Sitting & Dog Walking for over 7 months and have been consistently pleased with the service provided. Shannon is responsive and professional. Our dog walker, Emily, is terrific. Our dog is always delighted when she arrives for his daily walks and play. We have also used C-PUP at least three times for pet sitting and have no hesitation to continue to do so. Shannon asks for details, such as when we will depart and when we are expected to return. She makes sure we have returned when expected, so our dog is not alone or missing dinner. Shannon's attention to detail gives us peace of mind. We are very satisfied customers and are grateful to have such a terrific provider to help keep our dog happy and healthy and well-exercised. We highly recommend C-PUP.

C-Pup is fantastic! We had someone stay overnight with our pets while we were gone and she did a great job. Typically when I go away I worry about our pets, but with C-Pup we got frequent updates and I knew they were in good hands. When we arrived home our cats and dogs were well-adjusted and excited to see us. I can't imagine going on vacation and having anyone else stay with our pets. I highly recommend C-Pup.

The team at C-PUP has been taking care of my Golden Retriever, Breeze since we brought her home 4 years ago. While my husband and I worked in full-time jobs during the day, we had multiple scheduled walks for her energy level. During that time, Breeze was so well cared for and loved, just as we would have done if we were there. As I transitioned to full-time work from home, I now call on C-PUP for our overnight sitting needs. When we go out of town, whoever stays with Breeze loves her just as much as we do. They provide detailed notes, pictures/updates and take care of any worries we have while we're away. I would recommend any of their services if you wish for your pet to receive the highest quality of care when you can't do it yourself!

We've been using C-PUP to look after our cats for several years, and we've always had an outstanding experience. We get email updates once or twice while we're away. We arrive home to find a written daily log of feeding, meds, visits, etc. I can recommend them without hesitation.

I can’t recommend Country Life K9 Training enough! My 6-month-old husky mix recently completed her 3-week board and train program, and the results have far surpassed my expectations. Lauren and Sarah were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. Before training, my pup was full of energy and a bit challenging to manage, but now she walks beautifully on a leash and is equipped with essential skills like sit, down, stay, come, and place. The transformation is incredible, and I can see how much effort and expertise Lauren and Sarah poured into her training. My biggest goal was to be able to take my well-behaved and mannered dog with me everywhere, and that is practically effortless now. I am so proud to show off her skills in public and she receives so many compliments everywhere we go. Communication was excellent during the program—I always felt updated on her progress and knew she was in great hands. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they work with and are passionate about what they do. If you’re considering training for your dog, I highly recommend Country Life K9 Training. Thank you, Lauren and Sarah, for setting my pup up for success!

We dropped our 8 month old Shepsky puppy off with Lauren and Sarah a little over a month ago. We could not be happier with the results and would highly recommend Country Life K9 Training!! We brought our newly trained Leia to downtown Annapolis yesterday - she did wonderful walking around the busy area with us and then sitting perfectly with us while we enjoyed lunch (picture included). We also often bring Leia to work with us and she is so well behaved - we put her in place when visitors come and she does great. Lauren and Sarah posts videos of your dog every day while they are away with them and on your graduation day they supply you with all the information you need to continue with the training work they have accomplished. We love how well our Leia behaves, especially when walking her and the place command. We will absolutely be using Country Life K9 Training in the future for boarding. #happy customers #happy Leia

I highly recommend Country Life K-9 Training. We have two small children and very busy lives. We tried previous training programs and nothing quite stuck. Our small children did not even want to be in the same room as our dog. But then he went to Country Life and came home an entirely different dog! We are able to take him on stress free walks. He's able to join the family during bonding time, because he's not jumping on/knocking down the kids. He's no longer barking obsessively. He's the perfect gentleman now!

I sent my dog Ellie to Country Life K9 Training, and the results have been incredible! She is so much more well-behaved now, especially with the "heel" and "stay" commands. These commands have been crucial in helping her become a calmer, more manageable dog. I’m amazed at the transformation and the confidence it’s given both of us. I highly recommend their program for anyone looking to improve their dog's behavior and strengthen their bond!

Our dog Nash came from this excellent training program. Lauren and Sarah are amazing! We have never had such a well behaved dog- and he gets loads of compliments whenever we take him out. We are able to take him everywhere and not worry about his behavior. Once you have a dog that graduates from Country Life you will never want to have another dog that hasn't gone through their program.

I have to say we had the best experience with Country Life K9 Training! Our puppy Angus had some medical issues and still has dietary restrictions so we struggled to train him once all that started. Especially once the bunny season started - his instincts took off and I ended up being “walked and pulled” by my dog instead of the other way around. They took him in and took into consideration his specific needs and issues! He’s been home for a week now and I have to say we came face to face with 3 bunnies and he ignored them 😳!!! That’s huge!!!! Plus he walks so much better on the leash and behaves so much better in the house! Not only that, Country Life K9 is like a family! They kept us updated every step of the way by posting videos, photos and reels. They check in on him even now, and are there to advise and provide support as we are going through this training together! Best decision we ever made! ❤️🐶

Lauren and Sarah at Country Life K9 Training are amazing! They were great all around with our dog (18 month old goldendoodle). The time they spent with us in-person was invaluable and left us confident we would carry on with a well behaved pup. Many thanks, Laren and Sarah!

Peace of mind is a well trained dog! We brought our one-year old Golden Retriever named Calvert to Country Life for their 4-week program earlier this year. Our choice was determined by their setup (we also have cats in our house) and their robust social media presence (we were able to see updates on Cal throughout his training). Now, Calvert is better behaved in the house and knows his recall command well enough to go off leash in some situations. He's still energetic, playful, and goofy but he is far more respectful and his training is paying off major dividends. I would easily recommend Country Life K9 to anyone in the DMV!

We can't say enough good things about Country Life K9 Training. As soon as we signed adoption papers for Noodle and before we had even met him, we got him on the training calendar. They did such a great job with our now 2 year old Vizsla, Hank, we knew we'd want Noodle on the same level. Noodle went to training at only 7 months old as a wild man who loved to play, smell and mark everything on walks, and cause mischief around the house. He now walks politely on his leash (even next to his favorite playmate Hank), relaxes all day during our workday, and is extremely reliable off-leash. Not only does he listen, but he LOVES to come when called and lay on his cot. We regularly get compliments for how well-behaved our dogs are and we enjoy the freedom of being able to bring them with us to dog-friendly stores and restaurants!

I have a hound/pittie female puppy who is a wild wild girl. She's very sweet, stubborn, and strong. She pulls on her walks, and jumps on everyone. She's so strong that I couldn't control her during our walks. Meeting Lauren was the best thing that happened to my family and Bella. We decided to send her for training and prayed that Lauren could fix her. I'm here to tell everyone that Lauren did an AMAZING job training Bella. We are so happy with the results. Now we can really enjoy walking her and taking her in public without any fear. I would recommend Country Life K9 Training to everyone I know.

Odrun is the best and very thorough. She was a new sitter recommended and I was nervous; however, I could not have been more pleased with the level of care provided, including all the little extra's she does. I received daily pics showing how happy my paw babes were and how comfortable they were with Odrun. She really pays attention to detail and I was totally comfortable knowing they were in good hands. 🙏😊

Amazing service from day 1! I can be pretty protective when it comes to my fur baby, but I have absolutely no worries when my baby is in the care of Total Care Pet Sitting. Oddrun has looked after my boy for years and he thoroughly enjoys every visit. Thank you for your consistent love and care for my fur baby! You truly are passionate about what you do and it shows.

Ms. Brazelton is BOMB!!!-Diggity!!! She knows her dogs! She's very astute regarding proper pet care and training (we have a 3 month old puppy). I love being able to leave her cash or cashapp her for services, and she has a steady base of clients who appreciate her services as well. We have even asked her to board our dog during an upcoming trip. She's great!!! Our dog feels comfortable with her, which makes us comfortable leaving him with her when needed. She is reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and awed6!

Great service! Treats pets like they're her own. My dog is always happy to go to her when I need to be away. Highly recommend.

A very professional pet sitting service. The owner was very helpful in an emergency situation involving a neighbors pet during the late night hours. She was able to take the animal to the animal emergency care center and treated the animal for several days after release from the emergency care.

Love it! I've been patronizing their business for over 10 years.

Outstanding services!!! Love Oddrun!!!

Thank you.

Thanks for the review!

Joe is an amazing dog walker. He's prompt, professional and affordable. I've been working with him for ~a year and I am compelled to write a review sharing his amazing service. If you are looking for a loyal and reliable dog walker, Joe is your man. My 4 year old 20 pound terrier mix is in love with Joe and looks forward to their 2 walks every week. I am extremely comfortable and secure with Joe having access to my home when I am at work. My pup recently had an upset stomach and had an accident in my home, Joe was quick to alert me and clean things up. I greatly appreciate his kindness, warm personality and genuine love for my dog Doc.

Joe was great with our dog. Setting up the visits and overnights was easy and Joe was very responsive. He kept us updated and helped us out with a last minute visit when our travel was delayed.

I had Googled professional dog walkers the Fall of 2021. Thankfully, WaggnTails Pet Care showed up in my search. Joe immediately responded to my inquiry. We set a day and time for Joe to meet my babies (my two Maltese, Amos and Stella) and for us to discuss the pet services I needed. Amos and Stella took a liking to Joe right away. What was most impressive, is that when Joe came in my house to meet my babies for the first time, he sat down on the floor and bonded with them for some time before he and I even discussed the details of the pet care I needed for Amos and Stella. Wow! Because of COVID, I started out needing care for one day, twice a day each week. With the restrictions having been lifted, I'm in need of care three days a week, twice a day. Joe runs a professional business...he tracks vaccinations and he also does an assessment of pets' likes and dislikes, and their overall needs. I love my fur babies so much and it's important to me that I have the best care possible for them. I found that in Joe and I'm ever so thankful. He is careful, attentive and very likable. Amos and Stella can attest to that.

Joe is wonderful! He walked my dog, Brutus, and did very well with him. Brutus can be a bit rambunctious, but Joe’s calming demeanor eased my dog’s anxieties. Joe is knowledgeable, prompt, professional, and trustworthy - all of which are important when choosing someone to care for your fur-baby. I highly recommend Joe for your dog-walking needs.

Mr. Reeves was very professional, as well as, knowledgeable. He was prompt and courteous. He provided outstanding service, to my dog, Doc. I loved the communication he expressed, with Doc. He was a true lifesaver, for me.
