Dog Sitters in Maddox, MD

We’ve used this kennel for over 20 years so know it very well. Everyone here is dedicated to their work, they care deeply about each and every animal boarded here. Each dog is given the same level of care they’d give their own pets, and the staff have been very attentive to special health issues with our older dogs. We never worry about our dog’s well-being when we are traveling, knowing they are safe and sound. We’ve boarded our dogs, had them washed and groomed, even boarded our bunny! 5++stars.

I wished we lived closer to this kennel - I drive an hour and a half to bring my two large dogs to Mt. Victoria - a safe kennel run by a true animal lover. They are very reasonably priced and have provided quality care for pets in my family for over 20 years. Hallie and her staff have always treated my dogs well. Too bad more people don't actively review as every time we visit, this place has many happy customers!!

This place is great! Our dogs are well cared for and loved. Hallie is amazing and has a heart of gold :) She even takes in cats and rabbits. She makes sure everyone is fed, happy and loved. :)

The place is clean enough I guess, but my dog had a nasty infection on his head upon leaving there that the owner had covered in ointment....wasn't there when i dropped him off. Also, the owner tells me that she needs a little "extra" $ for staff...uh, if u aren't charging enough to cover staff costs then u need to update your pricing and be upfront instead of basically demanding extra money at pickup. And to top it all off- they only accept cash or check....and then took well over 30 days to cash the check. Try Ridge Kennels, they're closer to the highway and easier to deal with.

Hallie has given outstanding love and care to my dogs for over 25 years. I’m sure they have all thought they are the ones going on vacation, since each one has run at dead heat up to her door with tails wagging!

Great kennel! All the staff love the dogs and take excellent care of them while they are there!. He is a senior who prefers quite, which they provide.

Older facility, but very clean. Your dog will not need a bath when you pick it up. The owner has decades of experience and a good person!

This place is fabulous. My dogs love it there. They get to stay inside the house and sometimes get people food😋 …

Great place they take great care of of our dogs and hallie is a treat

I adopted my dogs from this location and it was a great experience.

I can’t say enough incredible things about Aimee and Steve! We are a military family that moves constantly so it can be hard to find people you trust with your “babies”. We have a 5 month old lab puppy that is still figuring out the world. She is a little timid at first but I loved how understanding both Aimee and Steve are. Daisy has done doggy daycare and they were AMAZING about making sure the class wasn’t too big and the right dogs were matched together. They planned ahead knowing Daisy was coming and had a calm dog paired to slowly integrate her into the pack. Daisy is currently in training and both Aimee and Steve were interested and willing to continue her training while under their supervision! Steve has a very calming approach with the dogs and Daisy really took to him. Aimee has so much patience with not only the dogs but also me! She was willing to answer all of my questions, concerns and never made me feel uneasy. You can tell how much they BOTH love the pets they care for. After having several successful doggy daycare days we opted to board her with them. We received updates and pictures of her “sleepover” with her friends! I knew Daisy was in great hands. They even did an adorable paw print picture that I will cherish forever! I jokingly say that we are now co-parenting together because that’s how amazing they have been with her. I selfishly want to keep them to myself but I also know they deserve all the praise in the world! I don’t consider them a “boarding facility”, more like a 2nd home.

I want to share my incredible experience with Trails End Pet Sitting, LLC. I don't often post recommendations, but I am truly compelled to share how delighted I am with the care they provided for our Guinea pigs, hermit crab, and puppy, Meadow. I stumbled upon them on Google, did my research, and read their reviews on Facebook. I was impressed with what I saw and decided to have them do home visits for the small animals and board Meadow at their Southern St. Mary's location. Being a total helicopter mom, I was initially nervous. But the moment I met Aimee, I knew it would be a great fit. She came to our home, asked questions, and got to know our pets' schedules. Aimee's professionalism and knowledge were evident from the start. When I dropped Meadow off at their boarding facility, I was immediately put at ease. The dog play area was secure, shaded, and well-ventilated to keep the pups comfortable. The grass and turf were well-maintained, demonstrating their dedication to safety and cleanliness. Aimee greeted us warmly and assured us that everything was under control. She even discussed emergency plans for Meadow. Aimee's commitment to our pets' well-being continued throughout Meadow's stay. She was more than willing to take Meadow out for potty breaks whenever needed, even during the night. I received updates from Aimee daily, complete with pictures, videos, and detailed accounts of Meadow's day. Blake, her employee, handled home visits for our small animals and sent us daily pictures and humorous updates that had us laughing each evening. I cannot speak highly enough of Trails End Pet Sitting. Their level of professionalism and care is exceptional. Aimee and her team genuinely care about all animals, big and small. I am incredibly grateful to have found them and will always turn to Trails End for pet sitting needs. The peace of mind they provided while caring for all my fur babies was priceless. I would give them 11 out of 10 star ratings!

We are new to the area and I was so nervous leaving our pups while traveling for Christmas. Alexis was our sitter and she was so helpful, communicative, good with the pups. We came back home and they were incredibly well taken care of. For someone who gets a lot of anxiety about leaving our pups, this service was incredible and so worth it. They were incredibly flexible, allowed us to pick multiple visits and options for the days we were gone. Just incredible and could not recommend more

Trails End has been such a huge help for our family. They are wonderful with our dogs, administering medication and caring for them while we are gone. I am able to relax while on travel or vacation knowing that my dogs are well taken care of. I would recommend this company to anyone that needs to be away from home and rest assured their pets are taken care of.

This is our first time using a pet sitter and we are so pleased! We have 2 cats and 2 dogs and in NC, we had used kennels for the dogs and paid separately for someone to come to our house for the cats. With Trails End, all 4 are taken care of and the cost is less. I love that we can book from a phone and they send photos and updates with each visit. Prior to their first pet visit, they provided a home visit to meet the pets and learn about their care. Whether it’s a one time visit for a long day in DC or a week out of town, they are perfect!

My cat really enjoys the visits from his pet sitter Penny. I honestly think he gets a little disappointed when it's me and my husband coming home from a trip and not his new best friend Penny! I have absolutely no worries at all when I'm away and I know that Penny will be looking after my kitty. I look forward to reading the detailed daily notes that she leaves. Trails End provides great customer service, communication, and care for my baby Lilo. I can not praise them enough. Highly recommended!

Penny @ Trails End has been a HUGE help for us. We have 2 kitties that need special care and medications and Penny has gone above and beyond for them. We love the feedback that she gives us and we know that she will take care of them both as if they were her own! We can leave them in Penny's capable hands and know she will take super care of them and keep us informed of how they are doing while we are gone!

Aimee and Alexis took care of our pup and it was great I received feedback after each visit and pictures of my boy in addition to my plants being watered and not having to rush home on the last day of our trip. It was a wonderful experience.

This is a great doggie day care. Aimee and Steve are so kind. The dogs all get along and they have a great time. The facility and care is outstanding

Truly, the best pet sitters. This is the second time we have used them and they have once again exceeded our expectations! Emailed detailed updates for every visit, along with times in and out and pictures. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs to have their animals to cared for while not at home!

This is the best place to bring your dog. They really care about your normal while you're away or at work. Can't go wrong with salty dog daycare. I'm so glad they never closed through the COVID time. The best prices for doggie daycare. Very personalized treatment

Great place to keep your dogs for vacation. We received constant updates with pictures and our dogs were freshly bathed and pooped from playing with all the other dogs when we retrieved them. Will definitely use again and would recommend to anyone who worries about their dogs on vacation!

You really care about your animals. Can't go wrong with salty dog daycare reasonably priced ! Treat them like their own ❤️

I visited Salty Dog last week and it was a delight! I certainly look forward to taking my babies there, Owner was very nice and knowledgeable, the environment was clean. We will be back!

Great place, lots of room for the dogs, lots of very supervised playtime, and groups are made to ensure that no dog is put with a dog they don't get along with. Very accommodating, and they accept unaltered dogs! (So long as they aren't in heat of course)

Elizabeth is great and our dog loves her

Great location, wonderful people.

This team takes fantastic care of my senior dog, and has always been able to squeeze us in even when my work schedule gets unpredictable! I love the thorough updates and photos they send after every visit to walk my dog, and I feel very confident that she will be well cared for by anyone who works for Alexandria Pet Care. Lucky to have found this service!

I can not say enough good things about the team at Alexandria Pet Care. I have the pleasure of being both a client and a supplier for them. They take amazing care of our three crazy, goofy, four legged kids. If we have special needs, instructions or requests they always take care to help with them. This same care is true in the relationship with them as a supplier too. I always know my dogs will be well cared for and that I will be too. I highly recommend and trust the team at Alexandria Pet Care.

We have used Alexandria Pet Care numerous times to pet-sit our cat, and we have always had a great experience. They are extremely conscientious and always do a fantastic job. They have our trust and strong recommendation.

Frazier (my very unique boxer) and I moved to VA this fall. It’s been a big transition and Alexandria Pet Care has been instrumental in Frazier’s adjustment. Always detailed/fast communication, excellent recommendations for other pet services in the area, and he adores all of his sitters. We highly recommend!

We have been using Alexandria Pet Care for the past year and they have been great. Andy took care of our cat this past week and he did a great job. The front office is very responsive and their website is very easy to use with scheduling visits and paying invoices.

I have been using Alexandria Pet Care services for my cat and this company has been more than reliable! Ronnie has been an amazing cat sitter for my cat Selena. I never have to worry when booking. They also have a perfect system through an app where you can book services and communicate easily. They also have excellent customer service. I’m glad I found their services and I definitely recommend!

Alexandria Pet Care is wonderful! Their team has taken the time to help support my pets and always handles them kindness. These folks really love animals and go the extra mile to make sure the pets are cared for.

We had a wonderful experience with Alexandria Pet Care and are very pleased with their services! We left our cats in their care for five days during a holiday weekend, during which we got updates for each visit and were able to see the times they visited, all of which were within timeframes requested. They also sent cute pictures and went above and beyond in every way. They provided excellent care and we came home to a lovely journal documenting their visits and funny ways our cats behaved. We loved their professional team approach, and we will definitely use them again. Thank you, Alexandria Pet Care!!

Alexandria Pet Care has been so helpful for our dog. We scheduled 4 in home one-on-one sessions for our newly adopted puppy last year and it was so helpful for her. She was reactive towards other dogs and people but after just one session our dog made so much progress. Alex, the trainer, also taught us the best way to help with her anxiety and how to continue making progress with her after our 4 sessions were completed. Alex has also been helpful answering questions via email since our sessions have ended, and at no charge.

The APC Team's kindness and attention were truly exceptional. They provided extraordinary care to our fur babies, treating them as if they were their own. Their commitment to meeting us and collecting comprehensive information before starting services ensured seamless and thoughtful care. Additionally, the adorable photos they took of our pups in action were a delightful bonus. They are who we call to care for our precious pups.

We love this service! They took excellent care of our guinea pigs while we were in Europe. Guinea pigs require lots of special care, including a diet with nutritional and vitamin needs, fresh vegetables, fresh water, unlimited hay for digestion, and daily/weekly cage cleanings. Passionately Pets did a stellar job at caring for our furry little friends. Their daily pet journal with photos and special notes on their visits with our pets was a fantastic way to see and read about how our fur potatoes were doing. Their prices were very reasonable, their care was top quality, and their customer service was the best. They also took care of a few other services such as bringing in mail and packages, bringing in the trash cans, and turning off/on lights in the house while we were gone to give the house a "lived-in" appearance while we were gone. On a special note, our pet caretaker was even concerned enough to run to the grocery store to pick up some fresh veggies for our pigs when he ran out. We loved Passionately Pets service and felt our pets were in competent hands. We have used Passionately Pets during two vacations and know that we can trust their services to care for our precious furry little buddies in the furure

Passionately Pets is amazing! We have a tiny puppy and they are the only ones we could find that were willing to come twice per day to let him out for potty breaks and a walk. Plus, they have the same person come most days, which is better for my puppy - rather than always having to meet someone new. They send updates after each walk and the pics are adorable. I trust them completely and would not use anyone else!

Passionately pets has been the best decision we have made since moving back to Arlington. They have been outstanding with meeting our needs and leaving us feeling reassured about getting out of town for a few days as we have a cat that has specific medical needs. Alex has visited our home twice and has done a fantastic job providing real time feedback while we are away. Jenna and Vanna have both been terrific to work with as well. Their website is very easy to use and the consistent updates and support have been wonderful for us. We are looking forward to continuing to work with their entire team!!!

I recently used Passionately Pets to care for my kitten while I was out of town, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the start, Vanna, the GM, was wonderful—she came to my home to meet my kitten and me, which instantly put me at ease. The detailed paperwork during sign-up was thorough and gave me so much confidence in their service. Alex was my pet sitter, and he was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly attentive and sweet, leaving daily notes that tracked my kitten's temperament and how they spent their time together. I especially loved the daily journals Alex submitted after each visit, complete with photos, which made me feel connected and reassured while I was away. Passionately Pets provided top-notch care, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitting service!

I had a GREAT experience with Passionately Pets! I left for a long weekend and was very nervous to leave my new rescue pup with a stranger, but Ashley (our dog sitter) was wonderful! She came and met my dog before I went away and sent detailed reports and pictures from every visit. My dog can be wary of strangers, but he absolutely adored Ashley. Our neighbors had a little party one night and she even thought to turn on soothing music for him to drown out the scary sounds so he could sleep peacefully. I am so glad to finally find a place I can trust to walk/watch my dogs! Can't recommend them enough!

Vanna just stayed with our dog, Marty for two nights with pop-ins during the day while we went out of town for a wedding. I was nervous because we've always had family watch our pets but we recently moved here from out of state so that's no longer an option. Passionately Pets was very responsive to my initial inquiry and set up a meet and greet before I booked the service. Vanna walked me through their different services, patiently answered all of my many questions, and went through the profile I set up for Marty. Vanna ended up also being Marty's sitter for the weekend and did a phenomenal job. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend and when we arrived home he was happy and had clearly been well cared for. Marty is still a young dog with puppy energy and is not used to being left for more than 6-7 hours at a time (and never overnight) so I booked the Deluxe Overnight package plus a midday visit each day. The pricing was as advertised on their website. I'm not sure how the cost compares to competitors, but considering that it accounts for 13+ hours/day of time, I thought it was totally worth it for the peace of mind and standard of care that Vanna delivered. 100% I would recommend and will be using Passionately Pets again.

Passionately pets are truly amazing. I’m not sure how they do it (probably great training) but we have had many different sitters from them over the years and each one is fantastic! We never have to worry that our cats are well cared for while we are out of town- they give lots of playtime and love in addition to feeding. The management team is also amazing- helping us find last minute sitters and even having options as we prepared to welcome our daughter. I cant say enough good things about Passionately Pets!

Thanksgiving break was my first time using their pet sitting services and they absolutely exceeded my expectations! Passionately Pets is very trustworthy and they are now my go-to for pet care. I highly recommend them .Specifically, Vanna is the best!!!

Passionately Pets is fantastic! We have been out of town and Mary has not only taken care of our sweet bunny Dhalia, but our garden on this hot weekend! I look forward to her notes and pictures when we are working or out of town. I also know how much Dhalia appreciates passionately pets especially when she gets love, attention, cuddles, treats, and bunny run time! We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reputable and reliable pet sitter or service

I went out of town for a few days and this was my first time booking through Passionately Pets based on a referral. From the consultation to the actual pet sitting service, everything was seamless. Great communication, friendly service, plenty of pictures, and my cat was taken great care of! Olivia did a great job. I will definitely book again when necessary.
