My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida! Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover
Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs! I highly recommend her!!
Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!
I could go on forever because Veronica was beyond incredible! We feel so fortunate that she was able to sit for us. Our fur babies were so spoiled with love and attention. Veronica followed their regular schedule, gave our dog her joint supplement, and helped clean her paws with medicated wipes from our vet. Our cat is very shy and sometimes doesn’t even come out for sitters and he loved Veronica! She brushed him and gave him so much love. They were both so happy when we came home. Veronica went above and beyond for us! She even made us masks, got us some disinfectant spray we haven’t been able to find and to top it off she made us bolognese sauce with sweet chicken sausage! She even left us a new box of pasta to make when we got home! We couldn’t believe we got to come home to an incredibly clean house, dinner and such happy pets! Veronica sent pictures and updates daily which made our time away even more relaxing. She took cleaning and sanitizing very seriously which we appreciated so much! We highly recommend her! She treated us, our home and pets just like family. We would love to have her sit for us again and are so grateful for everything she did for us! Also - dinner was delicious!!
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!

I got Zion right before COVID. I don’t know what his previous owners did to him but he was very nervous and reactive. I took him to Petco for training but the trainer, let’s just say wasn’t very effective.The neighbors at the apartment at which I was living at the time complained every time Zion walked from one part of my apartment to another. School was still in a brick and mortar so I needed to find someone to take care of him during the day. I stumbled upon Demille and Jill and let them know my situation, how Zion was, etc. They met him and agreed to board him during the week. They would send me pictures and Zion looked super happy. Without knowing it, they helped Zion immensely. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon the unofficial dog park at Wyman Park. At first we were skeptical about letting him go but then we remembered the pictures Jill and Demille would send of him playing with other dogs, being happy and we let him go and he was just fine. He was calm. His reactivity had significantly diminished. When I travel, it’s Jill and Demille I call because they know Zion and his quirks and love him regardless. Thanks, Guys for being so good with and to Zion. With your help, he really has come a long way.
Jill runs such a loving and care dog care service! We had tried (and failed) with a few other services before finding Hampden Hounds. But Jill made us feel so comfortable and she takes such great care of our dog! We always get multiple pictures a day when she’s walking or watching him and she is always very responsive. Would definitely recommend Hampden Hounds to anyone looking for dog care services!
Our dog goes to hampden hounds so often that when we start heading that direction it’s hard to keep her on her leash! Jill sends pictures every day and our pup is exhausted by time we get back. Also super flexible when plans change last minute and easy to contact via email or text, she is very responsive. I highly recommend, especially if your in the Hampden area!
Our dog has always been treated so well in every possible way by Jill. We love the updates, pictures during walks, and the care she puts into the dogs and her business. When we moved out of the city, we solely used Hampden Hounds for boarding. There is nobody else we’d rather use to care for our dog!
There aren’t words to express how grateful we are to Hampden Hounds. From walking my energetic dog multiple times a day while I worked long hours, to caring for her for several days while I was in the hospital, to boarding her for holidays and vacations, I could always count on Jill to make sure my girl was well cared for. Hampden Hounds was the only boarding I trusted when my dog was 16 years old and needed a lot of special attention. Even after I left the city, I drove an hour to make sure our dog was in the best care whenever I couldn’t be with her. We love Hampden Hounds!
The most flexible, responsive, and trustworthy dog walkers we’ve worked with. We adjust our schedule each week and it’s not a problem at all. Our dog is very shy around new people, but Demille was extremely patient with her from the start, and now she loves when he shows up. Couldn’t recommend more.
Our very large Lab, Darwin, adores Demille, who provides love, care and excellent exercise in all sorts of weather. We are so pleased with the outstanding services Hampden Hounds provides and we recommend them to everyone. Darwin uses dog walking and day care services and loves his time with Demille and Jill. Jill is an excellent communicator to both humans and dogs alike. Hampden Hounds is a pandemic puppy’s dream come true. Love getting the photos from walks. The photo is Darwin after a walk with DeMille!
Demille is a dog whisperer. My great dane/walker tree hound loves him. He looks forward to the daily walks and is excited to see him each and every time. He comes back the happiest boy from each walk. And, he is not easy to deal with - is very reactive and skittish. Hampden Hounds (Jill and Demille) are extremely responsive and responsible, and can adopt to my sometimes changing schedules. They have keys to my pad and I trust them inherently. Also, Jill and Demille have been able to adjust to my crazy work schedule and have been able to walk Ivan and also his brother and pesty bishon on very short notice. I trust them inherently. I recommend very highly. All customers I know love them. Steve
My dog Jasmine gets so excited every time she goes to see Jill and DeMille. She always meets new friends and I don’t worry about how she is doing or how she is being treated, like I have with others in the past. Jill always sends me update pictures and the pictures don’t lie. Jasmine looks happy and well cared for. They are also very reliable and so easy to deal with. ❤️
Jill from Hampden Hounds is kind and reliable, and our dogs LOVE her. She walks our pups every workday. When I am working from home I get to see just how happy our dogs are when Jill arrives at the front door for their walk! Prices are very reasonable, too.
I use BeMore Pet Care any time I need to board my dog while I travel and I can’t recommend them enough. My dog is not a “people person” and can be fearful of strangers, so finding a trustworthy boarder to care for him was a real challenge until I was recommended to BeMore Pet Care by another dog trainer. I have total confidence that my dog is very well cared for when I leave him with Morgan, and he’s always happy and healthy after his time with her. They’ve always been able to accommodate my boarding requests even with relatively short notice, and the process is very simple and stress free. We are very lucky to have this knowledgeable, trustworthy small company in Baltimore for our pet care needs!
We recently used BeMore Pet care for boarding our two dogs while we were out of the country for 10 days and I’m so glad we did! I was nervous having them stay at someone’s home especially because one of our dogs has separation anxiety and some behavioral issues. We also have an older Pittie mix with health issues, but Sarah, our pet sitter, took excellent care of them. She provided daily updates and the dogs were happy and healthy when we picked them up. She gave them all of their medications and followed our instructions. She also took the time to give them plenty of snuggle time. I would definitely recommend using BeMore Pet Care for pet sitting!
We are very pleased to have found BeMore pet care. It’s hard to find reliable pet sitters. They have accommodated our schedules many times, and even gone out of their way and made the extra effort. These are experience pet sitters who were able to medicate some of our older cats.
Morgan and Sarah are always very welcoming, accommodating, and professional. The constant updates and pictures provided aids in keeping my mind at ease knowing my dog is in good hands when I'm away. Zeke is always excited when he is dropped off to either location. Keep up the great work!
Morgan and the BeMore crew are absolutely fantastic, we couldn't recommend them more!! We've had plenty of dog walkers over the years, but Morgan & her team always goes above & beyond. We had 2 very high maintenance pups (1 little deaf & skittish Cavalier, and a 15-year old rock star Lab) when we first moved to the neighborhood a few years ago. Morgan and her team were so patient & attentive w/ them from the start. They loved her and the rest of the team, and were so excited every time they came to get them for walks. Getting photos sent for every walk was such a treat in our work day! Now we have 2 young, feisty guys (Black Lab & Papillion), and they love Morgan & team just as much. Great peace of mind when overnights are needed to know that they are in such good hands. Not just for walks & overnights, but also for other expertise & services like training, health recommendations, etc. Very responsive, reliable, and professional! Love BeMore Pet Care!!!
I entrusted Morgan and her team with my high energy, yet lovable, pitbull mix for about a week. I was nervous, as this was the first time she slept away from home. Morgan provided daily updates, plenty of play time and snuggles with her at night. I felt at ease knowing she was properly cared for. Highly recommend Bemore Pet Care!
We hired BeMore Pet Care to watch our pets, and they did such an amazing job. We have a senior bunny rabbit who has some specific care considerations, and a cat who’s had issues with separation anxiety in the past. From the first email, Morgan was responsive and helpful when sharing available services and pricing, and I felt like she genuinely considered our needs when finding us the right sitter. Our sitter Jill was phenomenal. She sent prompt, clear updates each visit, outlining which tasks had been completed to care for each pet. She sent so many photos, and made sure both pets’ living environments were clean and comfortable the whole time we were gone. I really did feel that she took the same kind of care that we would have if we’d been home. I would 100% hire this team again. They were fantastic.
I met Morgan at a training center and was thrilled to hear when she went out on her own to start BeMore Pet Care. I have always been nervous about leaving my girl with anyone, as she is special needs (deaf) and also quite large/strong. It is hard for me to find people to care for my most prized possession... and I would leave her in Morgan's care in a heartbeat. Morgan is wonderful with dogs, attentive, a great communicator, and also a great business owner. She keeps me updated with a picture for each walk or overnight boarding. My dog always comes home exhausted so I know she is getting adequate attention, walks, and stimulation when Morgan cares for her overnight. Can't recommend BeMore enough for the other over-protective dog Moms out there!
I cannot recommend this company enough! They are reliable, reasonable and personable!! We have had Morgan and josh as our walkers and both are incredible. Each visit they send me picture updates and let me know how my puppy did. I am so thankful we found this company. You will not be disappointed!
We used BeMore Pet Care (Grant) for overnight care for our dog and 2 cats (one has medical needs). Could not have been more happy with the updates, communication, and care our animals received while we were gone.
We could not be more grateful for Crate Escape. Astro is SO excited for his day care days, and he always comes out happy and exhausted! They’ve always taken such great care of him, especially when we’ve boarded him there for a few nights while we were out of town. Keith is so enthusiastic and excellent at what he does, and their prices are super reasonable. There have even been several times that we are out walking him in the neighborhood and run into a staff member who recognizes him instantly. Astro is always so excited to see them and say hi, and it’s honestly a great indicator of how great the entire business is that they know each dog by name so quickly, and the dogs know and love every one of them!
Potato practically drags me to the door he is so excited to get to daycare here! Staff is great- super friendly and accommodating. You can tell they all love where they work! Keith, the owner, is super friendly and is very communicative if there is ever a problem! We've been coming here almost 2 years! Could not recommend more! The crate less boarding is also very cool and such a treat for our baby to have a big sleepover with everyone! Potato always comes home happy!
Our dog loves daycare and boarding here! Keith and his whole team are super nice and passionate about dogs and making sure they get plenty of play time. It is great that they get outdoor playtime each day too.
My dog Gladys loves going to the Crate Escape, and the staff are really wonderful and caring. They know every dog super well, and my girl always wags as we walk up to the door!
My dog loves crate escape! We do daycare and boarding. He hopes out of the car and runs in the door with his tail wagging without giving me as much as a glance! We had been to other boarding places and he would never want to go in, he would resist going in the door. Not at create escape! Staff are friendly and he comes home pooped from a fun day of play
Basically our dog's second family. I'm pretty sure our dog loves Keith more than he loves us. We are there weekly at a minimum for daycare and also boarding every few months. Our pup comes home happy and exhausted. So greatful for Crate Escape!
I brought my dog in a year or two ago, she’s was only a year old or so. She got stuck together with an in tact male dog. Then after that I immediately had to get her spayed for fear of her getting pregnant. I don’t think they pay as much attention as they claim.
I would not advise you to bring your fur baby to an establishment that caters to rude and dishonest staff member. My interaction with Tabitha was aggressive, dishonest and snarky. She was mad and she took it out on everyone around her. Godzilla style. I hope she doesn't treat the dogs how she treats people.
Wonderful place with amazing staff that really cares about your fur babies! My dogs have undergone such a transformation from being scared to looking forward to going to doggie daycare. Keith and his team really worked with my boys and brought them out of their shells. I am really glad I listened to my neighbors’ recommendations and brought my pups to Crate Escape. Highly recommend this place. Your pups will be in good hands!
Can't say enough about this place. We started with daycare and recently had our first boarding experiences. I was hesitant to board at first because I have a clingy dog who likes a lot of cuddle time and thought he might not get enough time with humans but the staff are so loving and let him lick them way more than I do. It's worth the time on the wait list. He comes home happy and sleepy and well socialized.
We love Caves Valley Pet Lodge. Janice was great with my dogs. She made them feel welcomed as if they were at home. The groomer is also amazing. She took her time to ensure the grooming was done right! The dogs were cleaned very well, and smelled fresh 😊 …
Nothing but good things to say about Caves Valley Pet Lodge and their proprietor Janice. It's a family business, they limit the number of dogs they take, and they don't charge you fees to get your pet out of solitary confinement like big box kennels. I also appreciated them because they worked with when I needed to pick up my dog unexpectedly (Christmas Day, no less), because they provided nutrition advice to help my dog put on weight, that they board their own dogs with their clients, and that they have acres for the dogs to play in. My dog Sam loved it and we'll be back next time we're in Baltimore.
Thank you for watching my special boy! He is an older dog at 13 and I had some concerns, but Janice and everyone there made him feel so comfortable and loved! Do not hesitate to bring your special guy or gal. They will be treated to a wonderful stay!
I have had great experiences taking our 9 year old golden doodle to Janice and Tyler at Long Last Kennel in Owings Mills. I like that Janice is able to take reservations by text and keeps things simple. Sunny always seems to be happy when she goes in and is always healthy and happy when she leaves. I like that Janice is a working owner and that she personally takes care of much of the operation. The pricing is also on the lower side of what kennels in the area are charging. I highly recommend Long Last Kennel. Good service and good value.
Caves Valley is a great Kennel. My 4 year Cocker named Cal loves going there to see his friends. The staff is very nice and considerate. Making a reservation is relative easy by e-mail. They now have a groomer who comes there who had made Cal look very handsome.
I am so glad we found Long Last Kennels! We have been very cautious about boarding our sweet girl because Saluki’s have very unique temperaments and needs. When I saw that there were multiple Salukis I was shocked! Finally she has friends she can run and play with that can keep up with her (mostly - ha!) Janice (the NEW owner) is awesome and it truly feels like we’ve found a second home for our girl. Our pup loves dropping by for daycare and we never have to worry when we have to travel without her. It brings us tremendous peace of mind knowing they take care of our girl as if she were their own. When we pick her up, she is excited and exhausted! She is well cared for while she’s there and it shows. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for boarding or daycare or both, like us!
Let me start by saying the owner Chris genuinely cares for and loves dogs. She got teary eyed telling me about her multiple hip surgeries which prevent her from being active with her dogs. Chris is an expert on dogs and I don't take that away from her. Her front customer entrance is cute by the way. But with that being said, there are a few things you should know: If you are not familiar with the Owings Mills area, Chris's facility is in the rural part of Owings Mills. Be prepared for a drive. Chris's personality can take some getting used to. At times she can come off as a bit authoritative and her tone can be a bit snappy. I don't think she means any harm, but that's the way she talks and runs her business. Chris has regular clientele she has been doing business with for years. If you are a newcomer do not expect newcomer treatment. If you would like to make a reservation for your dogs for lets say Christmas, have a Plan B. Chris's long time clients have seniority. In other words, you will be put on a "waiting list" because they receive preferential treatment for the holidays. Understand you are on Chris's schedule and not the other way around. Chris recommends a temperament visit. I scheduled a free trial date with Chris, arrangements were made contingent on weather, and then I was told after reaching out again the day prior it was a no go because she was busy. I reached out again and was told to bring them another date which was not convenient for me. Chris is VERY concerned about how your pet will acclimate to her kennel. I believe you, the owner are also being "OBSERVED" as well. Once my small pets were brought in for a trial, I was told one of the pets would be an issue because she was shy and nervous. I get that Chris doesn't do leashes and was concerned that the pet may run off in the yard if left in her care, but considering it was within the first 25 minutes, MAYBE it was a bit overwhelming for the dog? Chris was informed on her extensive intake form this one pet needed reassurance when experiencing new places, but is comfortable once she warms up PRIOR to the visit. Chris had me step inside to allow the dogs to roam in my absence. An owner arrived to pick up his giant dog, the size of a linebacker, and apparently, one of my dogs saw it and ran and hid under something and would not come out. So, this was the catalyst for her telling me I should return another day and hinted that perhaps this would not be a good fit for her. Interestingly, she's telling me about the same owner's big dog that upon first visit refused to enter her facility. They had to take the dog in another route. I wonder if all this rhetoric about uneasiness applied to this dog? What I was not impressed with was one of the small dog yards directly outside of the client entrance. It was dirty which was the first turn off and I saw some dried up dog poop near one of the raggedy gates, a dead long warm on another side of the area, and a lot of moss development in the area. The dog "runs" did not appear to be dirty, but my first impression of the back yard was not good. When I asked if I could tour the facility she acted like it was a problem. "It's very messy right now...I guess...if you want to..." was the response I received. Not "Sure, we would love you to see where your dogs will be quartered!" When I told Chris I did not want the dogs to have treats during their stay you would have thought I said to euthanize them. Chris had a problem with that. Never mind that one of the dogs is on a diet or has a sensitive gut. Then, she suggested they go in separate runs because she was concerned that one dog would eat the other dog's food, despite the fact I never had an issue with this previously. In all my years of pet boarding with different places, I have never been so annoyed or bothered by the management/owner. Everything happens for a reason because I found another boarding place that suited my needs and gave zero problems.
My little guy has a tumor on his leg and we wanted a small business to get him groomed. When I called I could tell the owner was thoughtful in her concern for my dogs wellbeing. His grooming was quick about an hour and he looked very cute! Will use their services again.
Janice and her team have been providing wonderful care for our Scottie and Sealyham terriers many times over the past two years. They are always very excited to go to Caves Valley Pet Lodge. It is truly like going to doggie camp for them! They are always in great condition and spirits when we pick them up. It is very comforting to know they have a safe caring place to stay when we have to go out of town for an extended time.
They are the absolute best and so kind! Our boy Buddy Love always looks like a distinguished gentleman 😆 after his grooming. We boarded him for the first time, I normally ask a family member to keep him, but I trust them so much and Buddy loves them. He’s a shih tzu btw. …
We've used Patrick for at least 10 years. He's been so reliable and with him looking after our animals, I know I don't need to worry. I'd recommend him any and every day.
Patrick is wonderful. He has taken excellent care of our dogs and home over the years. We highly recommend him.
DOCC is amazing! They have been walking Molly for almost 4 years, and even had no issues with continued dog walks after moving sides of town. They always texts, give updates, help out last minute with my busy work schedule, and send photos. DOCC even send photos of my cat, even if they aren’t there to take care of him. Would recommend to anyone!
Our dog, Phil, absolutely loved his mid-day walks with Dogs of Charm City. He always looked so happy in the pictures they sent us and the walkers went above and beyond in making Phil feel loved and special. When we get our next dog, we will be sure to USE Dogs of Charm City for all of our dog sitting and dog walking needs!
As both a client & employee of DOCC I cannot say enough good things!! Finding trustworthy dog walkers is so hard, but the team at DOCC is so amazing! I find comfort knowing my boys are always in good hands on their walks! We love our DOCC walks!! 🖤 …
I have been using DOCC for their dog walking services for the last two years and cannot say enough good things about them. They are reliable, professional and personable! As a nurse, I work long hours and use them multiple times in a day for my pup. They let me know when they are on the way to my house, once they’ve picked my dog up, multiple pictures/videos during the walk and a wrap up text when they are leaving. My dog loves each and every one of the walkers and looks forward to them each day. Some days I request a shorter walk and extra play time and they are happy to accommodate! They treat Oliver like he is one of their own and I never have to worry while I’m at work. One time there were fire trucks out front of my building and the owner, Lyndsay, texted me to make sure Oliver was safe and asking if I needed her to get him. This was such a heart warming gesture and really shows how amazing this company is! I have requested walks last minute and they have always accommodated me. Again, Oliver and I can’t recommend them enough!!!
We cannot recommend Dogs of Charm City more! They have been such a huge help to us from the month we brought our puppy home with walks and training help and over the years with boarding and petsitting! They are truly the absolute best, no one out there is doing it like them!! Would give them 10 stars if I could!
I am so pleased with DOCC and so are my pups I have daily walkers and know Lily and Amos are well taken care of. I get text updates about their walks and lots of pics of their adventures. I highly recommend DOCC, exceeds my expectations
Our experience with Dogs of Charm City (DOCC) has been everything we hoped for! We have used DOCC for weekday and weekend walks, as well as their staycation services. We are consistently impressed with the staff’s expertise and professionalism while caring for our dog, Maisey. While we were away for the holidays recently, our DOCC sitter, Katelyn, sent us daily updates with pictures and anecdotes that made us feel so at ease. It was clear Maisey and Katelyn were having a great time, and we have already booked Maisey’s next staycation. We wholeheartedly recommend Dogs of Charm City to fellow pet owners looking for reliable and caring individuals who will treat your dog as their own. We are also proud to support a Baltimore-based and women-owned business!
My fiance and I used DOCC for 2 years while living in Canton. They helped us out by walking our dog, Kofi, 2-3 times per week starting right after we adopted him as a puppy. They were always flexible when we needed to make changes and never failed to pick up a requested walk. Every one of the dog walkers who came to the house was amazing! We were so pleased with their communication. Every walker texted us when they were 10 minutes away, and let us know how/what he did and when he was back in his crate. The best part of our work day was when we'd get the photo updates of Kofi on his walk. It was great to never have to worry about him while we were at work. We were so grateful to have this service while living in the city!
Nicole was AMAZING! We hired her to handle our dog Honor on our big day! Not only did she relieve my stress but she was extremely professional and you could tell she was very experienced with large dogs. She helped pose Honor, walked him, fed him, and loved on him. My entire wedding party was so impressed with Nicole and her dog handling skills. Because of Nicole I had my handsome boy with me for pictures and to greet guests. I cannot put into words how great this company and Nicole are.
Can't recommend Dogs of Charm City enough! They have been the perfect solution to keeping our puppy busy during COVID. We love their waking services and recently started using their in-home doggy day-care. Their team always keeps us updated via text and tons of beautiful pics + they maintain our training during their time with Lou. I feel so lucky to have found a safe, socialization option for our dog while she completes her vaccinations and can't wait to start using their pack-walks and dog adventure options! I completely trust them with the care of our dog, and appreciate how detailed they are in caring for each individual pet.
This place rocks. My dog literally does flips whenever we say "doggie daycare.". I'm not kidding when I say that this is a well oiled machine. They intake hundreds of dogs every morning and make it seem effortless. The entire staff knows my dog on a personal basis, and a good deal of them know me as well. Good Lord, they're so friendly. I want to sit on a couch and watch movies and eat popcorn with these people (surrounded by small and medium sized pooches). My dog wants to do this, too. I hope they don't lose their charm when they move. Six stars for this place.
GDDC is great. Lots of space and they group dogs together based on personality so every good boy has an amazing experience. The staff are clearly dog lovers, and my pupper is really excited to see them and all his good doggie friends. I haven't tried boarding yet but plan to in the near future. Cost is reasonable.
My dog loves loves this place. He is so excited when he gets here and loves to play with the other dogs. The staff is always kind and welcoming. They don’t use kennels when boarding over night so my dog can board with them too. The dogs stay on doggy beds in the sleeping rooms and staff stay there too.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! GDDC is the BEST!!! The staff is great and they take great care of my Riley. She has such much fun running around with the other dogs there, she will go to sleep on the 8 minute ride home.
This place is a gem. My dog is a shy girl, and they were so kind and caring in helping her to acclimate. Within the first few visits, she was leaping out of the car in excitement to get inside and play! I like how they rotate the dogs through various play rooms and outdoor yards, it’s great for them to have that variety throughout the day. The staff are just wonderful and it’s evident they really care about the pups having a good experience away from home! It feels great bringing her there and knowing she’s in excellent hands.
I am beyond impressed and so thrilled with this doggy daycare. Lila, my sweet and sensitive 3 year old rescue, has had the best experience here, and she is so excited to go every single time. The workers truly care, and they get to know your dog and you -- the first few times I came in, I was shocked to see how they recognized myself and Lila and took the time to explain how she was doing. Matt, Jackie, and the rest of the staff are incredibly experienced and know the dogs inside and out, and they are able to assess each dog in the initial evaluation and create an enjoyable environment for them, based on the dog groups and different rooms (indoor and outdoor) that they take them through. The staff are all so talented and in touch with each of the dogs in the daycare, which makes me feel reassured with their attention to detail and kindness in caring for each individual dog. Additionally, beyond what you see in person when you visit, the doggy cam is so helpful with alleviating worries and feeling connected to your dog. I see the staff working so hard to keep the dogs engaged, cleaning up accidents immediately and sanitizing, and helping to calm them down during naptime, which is enforced everyday during the middle of the day. It's so sweet how they pay attention and look after the dogs -- for example, on a colder day, they put a lil jacket on Lila to help keep her warm because of her short hair, along with the other dogs with shorter hair. I thought that was so adorable and considerate! They streamline any possible stress and logistics of doggy daycare, since you can drop off in the morning for full day or later on after 2pm for a half day, along with food that you would want them to give your dog. There's no need to call ahead of time or worry about cancellations for daycare like other places. They have a waiting list but its to ensure that they have the capacity to actually get to know your dog and provide you with a peace of mind when dropping off whenever you need to. It's the best run doggy daycare for sure, not just in Baltimore, but throughout the Northeast in the other areas I have lived in previously and tried out. I am so happy I found this daycare, since I now know that Lila has a safe and fun place to go on my busier days with people who care about her, and I could not recommend more!
We have been taking our pups here for years and I'm pretty sure they like being here better than being at home.
I love this place. They make it so easy and it’s pretty affordable for what you get. I’ve also done boarding here and it’s also a breeze. I’ve never had any issues and my dog is so excited to be dropped off here!
We adopted an 18 month old terrier who had some trauma issues… and we were worried he wouldn’t adjust. But they have been great with him!! Adley loves it! He goes a few days a week and he spent the night for 4 days. The staff is great! Very kind and welcoming. Grateful for GDDC!
Have used GDDC for about half a year for daycare and boarding. They run a very tight operation and screen new dogs to make sure there are no issues with aggression. During the day, dogs are grouped together with a monitor to make sure there is no trouble. Dogs are moved across multiple areas and provided time for eating and napping to keep them engaged. For boarding, dogs are entirely crate-free. There is a camera monitoring system so you can check in on your dog throughout the day. Felt safe enough to do a 7 day boarding with our own dog and it was a great experience.
We are so very grateful for Sandy and the team at Barks and Blooms! The professionalism, kindness, love, and flexibility provided to us and our pups is phenomenal! We have been happy customers for about five years now and would not consider looking elsewhere. There is no better feeling when being out of town to know someone you can trust is sleeping in your home and taking care of your pups like their own! Mommy and Daddy love the pics and messages while working and Macie and Penelope love the butt scratches!!
The staff at Barks and Blooms are sensational. They've gotten to know my family well and have taken such good care of our little bullypit pup every time she's been at their doggy daycare. They've taught her so much maturity in a short amount of time and have maintained only the utmost courtesy and respect. They are very organized and have excellent customer service. They will educate you about caring for your pet and help you learn how to love them even more. Best of all, everyone is friendly and patient. You can peek in on what your pooch is doing through their live feeds which really do work! We will be working with Barks and Blooms exclusively for all our dog training, walking, and sitting needs as long as we are in the area and if we ever move, I'll either fly them out to us or get them to open another location wherever we go. They're just that good.
Barks and Blooms is phenomenal. Tiffany is the world's best dog expert/trainer. She helped me to communicate with my puppy (Stewart) and understand what causes him anxiety and how to handle his fears. She helped him grow into a confident and happy young adult. I am so grateful to her for all that she has taught me in her obedience classes. Furthermore, at daycare, Tiffany and the staff continually work with the dogs to reinforce the commands and positive behavior. Stewart loved playing with his friends at daycare, but at the same time he gained an education. Daycare helped him with socialization and with learning to feel confident in a variety of situations. Mary Frances and everyone who works at Barks and Blooms love dogs with all of their hearts. They have created a caring and welcoming environment for all of the dogs. Whenever I dropped Stewart off, he was over the moon with excitement. I highly recommend Barks and Blooms.
Barks and Blooms is fantastic! My schnoodle goes to doggie daycare. The evaluation process was very professional and I appreciated the feedback I received. Mary Frances at daycare is wonderful. We had an issue with my dog's paws getting inflamed. Mary Frances and the team at Barks and Blooms worked with me extensively to make sure my dog was safe, happy, and having the best possible experience at daycare! No more paw inflammation! My dog loves daycare; it's his favorite day of the week! I also use Barks and Blooms in home dog walkers and sitters when I go out of town. Erin is wonderful to work with and always finds great sitters to take care of my two dogs and cat when I am away! She is kind and organized. Although all companies prefer advance notice, Erin has found me last minute sitters when I have had to leave town unexpectedly. I appreciate her and Barks and Blooms always being willing to work with me and my crazy schedule. I am relatively new to Baltimore and finding Barks and Blooms has given me great comfort; I know my beloved pets are in good hands with the Barks and Blooms team.
I began coming to B&B in February 2014. We had recently rescued a 10-month pup and wanted to keep him socialized. Colleen and Mary Frances were amazing. They answered all of my questions thoroughly and were completely transparent. Keith gave me a full tour of the daycare. It was obvious the other pups there loved the staff!! That was huge for me. My pup was extremely nervous of men, and Keith spent hours and months teaching my pup to trust him. Now when I bring him to daycare, he starts pacing the back seat because he knows that Mr. Keith is going to play ball, and he gets to romp with his 4-legged buddies. The slumber parties are big fun. He can curl right up to a human buddy or a pup and snooze the night away, as they are completely cage-free. I loved this place so much that I am now volunteering my time to help train the new pups coming in. Thank you B&B for making my rescue baby's life rich, full, and happy.
We love Barks and Blooms! Our extremely energetic puppy started coming to Barks and Blooms in May and it has made a huge, positive difference in his behavior at home. He comes home tired from playing all day and ready to snuggle and to do some training with us! The workers there are fantastic, always greeting Rocky by name and acting truly excited to see him. I cannot recommend Barks and Blooms more highly!
In general, we had a good experience with Barks. Our pitbull needed help socializing and with obedience training. Their in-house trainer is great and helped our dog come a long way. I cannot say enough about how great she is. AND we never had any issues with daycare except that our pup would come back smelling awful because he plays so hard, but that's to be expected. We paid for almost every service from them. Daycare, dog walking, overnight stays, obedience training, etc. All were great. We spent plenty of money there. Even though they were great with our dog, the billing and service we received was lacking. Instead of getting a bill for dog walking every two weeks, as promised, we received massive bills after months of no bills. And this was after we _repeatedly_ asked to pay the bill! For some reason, no one we encountered could fix it or cared enough to preserve our business. Someone would would tell us they fixed it and it would never actually happen. It was incredibly frustrating. After we stopped taking our dog there for daycare for about a month, we decided we would give them another shot. Instead of welcoming us back or asking why we withdrew our business, we were simply told we needed to take our dog back through the (paid) re-orientation process. Recently, they reached out to us and fixed most of the problems we had. We don't use the dog walking anymore but we have gone back to daycare.
Used them for many years. They downsized and many of their walkers left. Typically all my walkers were people who lived in the city, but eventually I found out they downsized when I found out my walker was driving in from nearly PA. The walker acted like I could leave work anytime to make up for her not wanting to drive into the city. The ending was also unfortunate where I was dumped on a Friday with no walker on a Monday. I’d find a different company if you live in the city
The owner, Daniela Angelton, decided it would be a good idea to literally harass me…yesterday and today…the day my dog died…knowing he died…because my 23 year old daughter, an ex-employee of hers was having a bad mental health day. Apparently I was listed as an emergency contact which opened me up for harassment. Less than 12 hours after my daughter, who does not live with me, missed a shift, this owner is sending multiple texts and phone calls…every time her information and threats changed. She ended up bring the police to my daughters residence “to collect her property” with absolutely no regard for the loss of our animal, the extreme grief and sadness we are experiencing and she has continued to send me harassing texts this morning after being told not to contact me. I have blocked her at this point. In my opinion, this owner has some mental health issues of her own and yall may want to consider the compassion she treats her employees with when they are dealing with the sheer heartbreak of losing an animal. No one deserves this type of treatment…especially while grieving the loss of a loved and cherished animal and family member.
I’m such a big fan of B&B and recommend them to all my clients in the Charlotte & Matthews areas. I really appreciate their attention to safety and working with dogs who are going through training and need to have the rules followed. Daniella and team are the absolute best.
I'm very embarrassed that we've been clients of Luv My Pet for almost four years and only now I am writing a review. We got back recently from our longest trip since the great pandemic lock down of 2020 and Luv My Pet took care of our two young adult cats for ten days. We really appreciate that all pet sitters who visited and took great care of our cats, we were sent daily updates with pics and sometimes videos to show how the cats were doing while we were away and it really took a lot of stress off our minds so we could enjoy our vacation fully. I should note that our cats are still a bit nervous around people they don't know. One is an bubbly introvert who slowly warmed up to the sitters and in the end became quite chatty and loved the attention the pet sitters provided. The other cat is mostly asocial and prefers only interacting with me and my husband. I felt that the pet sitters navigated her personality very well, although as cats sometimes do she decided to "be lost" for a few visits and when found hissed at the pet sitter on duty. For this, I am sorry and I thought that all pet sitters assigned did a really great job of allowing her time and space to be the cat that she is. We were very happy to come home to well taken care of cats - they were fed, watered, socialized, their litter was clean, which is everything you want in a cat sitter. We will absolutely be using Luv My Pet while we are away on our next adventure. Thank you again.
What a great service. The team was very reliable and cared about my dogs. Never had to worry about a backup they always had someone there to cover. I wish I could take them to my new home.
We started using Luv My Pet when my German Shepherd was a puppy, and my dog had daytime walks for the past five years. The dog walkers were first Kim, and then Deb, and I had a great experience with both. And my dog loved them! I always felt confident that she was well cared for in my absence.
Outstanding all around! The daily updates (with photos) in our portal, texts to make sure a small issue that emerged was handled properly (and then a follow up to confirm all was still good), and their flexibility when our schedule changed made for a fantastic experience. We highly recommend this team and know our cats will be in caring hands when we travel again.
I have been using their services for almost 2 years to care for my cats while out of town. Jeff and his team are reliable and professional. The online portal is easy to use to request services, pay invoices, and get photos and updates for every visit that is completed in real time. Recently there was an issue with my door while I was out of town and this team went above and beyond to coordinate a locksmith while I was away. I can't believe how wonderful they are to work with and really appreciated the extra level of care. I have full trust that they are taking great care of my pets and highly recommend!
I've been using them since I moved to Baltimore earlier this year and they are wonderful! They take the time to get to know my dog and make sure he's comfortable; his usual walkers are Larry and Michael and he really likes both. I also really like the walk summary + pics I get everytime they walk him. Plus I feel like the prices are super reasonable.
I have been using Luv My Pet for i think over 3 years now and I feel very safe leaving my pets in their care. The dog walkers are always extremely friendly and take great care of my cat and my dog. I receive daily confirmation messages and pictures of my pet. So far i never had any cancellation over the time of my 3+ years with them, which is huge since i cannot just leave my job ad hoc to go home. Paying online is super simple and rescheduling and updating days is also quick with a response time of less than 2 hours. Would recommend to anyone i know!
We've been using Luv My Pet for almost a year now and they've been great. Jeff, the owner, was really nice and helpful getting us set up the first time and he's always very responsive and accommodating. We try to keep everything scheduled nicely in advance but sometimes things come up and they've always been able to accommodate us - Jeff even came out to walk Simon when nobody else was available. Overall I've been very happy with their services. Simon LOVES his walks too!
I don't use Luv My Pet for regular dog walks, just when I am going to be out of the house for longer than I like to leave my dog alone for. Jeff and his team are always quick to respond to requests. The walkers are always so wonderful to my pup and text me updates and pictures of him. I highly recommend Luv My Pet!
Our dog loves her walks with Nicole - she is great! Always on time and very patient with our energetic puppy. The app is easy to use to schedule and pay for walks. The pictures and report they send after each walk is great, too.
I really love this place!! Although I drove by it for many years because my pup had already had a doggie day care since birth🐶...I decided to stop by one day to see what they had to offer and the people were so friendly, very helpful and very informative. I quickly found out that this was the norm for them. ☺️ - They are also a one stop shop. (Daycare, Boarding, Bathing, Training and the list goes on. If you are looking for a place to take your pup, look no further. I truly belive both my pup and I have Best Friends Fur Ever!! God Bless! 🙏❤️🥹💯
Olivia is a wonderful trainer. She really took the time to listen to our needs first our puppy and everyone is so impressed with how she is doing! She communicates well and it was so fun to get video updates. All the handlers at BFFE make us feel special welcome every day.
My dog had such a great time at doggy daycare! My dog is a total social butterfly and hates being left home alone. Playing with other dogs is his absolute favorite thing. Knowing that he was getting to play with other dogs and getting pets from humans instead of home alone crying and howling makes me feel a lot better about leaving him there and getting things accomplished for the day. I love that I can watch him on the cameras and get a report card with pictures of him having a great day! I also love that there are options for early drop off and late pick up. I’ll be using them again for doggy daycare and potentially boarding. Definitely well worth it!
We were in puppy training with our 4 mot month old puppy. She is an amazing animal behavioralist and could answer a lot of questions. We learned so much from her. We would love if Olivia offered another class or have a dog park for small dogs to interact. Thank you very much!
Love everything about this place! We have a Cavapoo who has a bit of anxiety and we hardly ever board him. He’s been there multiple times now, a couple with extended stays and EVERY SINGLE staff member we’ve met has been exceptionally caring. Thank you so much!! Plus the webcams are just icing on the cake when we just want to make sure he’s doing ok.
I can't say enough how much my pups enjoy coming here. I even get to check on them through a camera whether I am traveling or just need a nice Daycare day for them while I am work. My pups are truly happy and that is all that matters.
Best Friends Furever is simply the best. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The trainers do a great job. Our dogs have been going there for daycare twice a week for years. We also have boarded our dogs there when we go out of town. If you can think of a service for dogs they almost certainly provided that service and do a wonderful job. I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you are looking for a place for your dogs to socialize with other dogs, get groom, get trained, just need a day to yourself or need to board your dogs this is the place for your dog!
My dog needs the special assistance program that they offer, which means the dogs hang in the office area adjacent to the lobby. I found it chaotic and noisy which isn’t especially good for old dogs, etc. Staff was nice but during my tour a few days before, I wasn’t told that I would be charged for a special collar ($12) for Ruth to wear when she is there.
It was so much fun to receive photos and reports on Louie while we were away! We enjoyed watching him at play on the webcams! The staff is awesome!! He will definitely return for more good times :)
My puppy loves BFFE Cockeysville location. As a new Dog Mom I find comfort in being able to check on my puppy through the client portal live video. I even received a video report card on his first day at doggie day care!! He played in the water and went swimming!!
We have used Citywide Pets which now is Angelface Pets for over 7 yrs. They have been there for us through multiple pets. We currently have 2 dogs, 1 cat and assorted fish tanks. Though we do most of our own daily walks, we have used Angelface Pet services when ever we are out of town and require pet care. Ed Robinson has always taken extremely good care of our animal children. He is great with our varying range of pets from a 116lb Rottweiler to our 14lb Havanese, including our rescue cat and many fish. Our pets don't see many walkers, but feel comfortable around Ed, even after extended periods of no contact. The animals always seem to be in a good state upon our return. I would highly recommend Angelface Pet Services for any of your pet needs DJL
Angel face pets takes care of visits for our 4 dogs. They take care of feeding, medicine administration for our older pup, cleaning up outside after the dogs, etc. The best part is that our dogs absolutely love them too! Finding this service has been absolutely amazing, and such a stress relief from working long hours! 100% recommend!
Edward and his team has been taking care of my pity (Puma) since I've moved to the Baltimore area 2yrs ago and they are absolutely wonderful. The service is very reliable, professional, and it is quite a peace of mind to know my dog's in good hands while I'm at work! -P
Edward and his team are like family. They have cared for my cats for years. Always caring and communicative. Giving meds, feeding,litter boxes, playing and loads of cuddles. They barely notice I’m gone!!
Edward and his team of pet sitters are phenomenal. I've relied on their services for more than 10 years now. He and his staff always go above and beyond while we're away, spending extra time with our cat and providing that much-needed bonding time while we're away. I've known Edward as a yoga teacher even earlier than this. I know his incredible kindness and thoughtfulness extend to every visit while we're away. I highly recommend his pet sitting services. Your pets will be happier for it!
I cannot say enough good things about Angelface Pets! Ed and his team are such wonderful caretakers of my furbabies. I have been using their services for almost 10 years and they have always been reliable, thorough and caring. And they are accommodating of my high maintenance ways in terms of my cats' care instructions:) I never have to worry about them when I am out of town because I know they are in good hands. If you are in the Baltimore area and in need of responsible, loving caregivers, I highly recommend Angelface Pets!
Owner, Ed, and his team are the absolute best with our beloved pets. They have been walking and dog sitting for our two beagles (and a few cats) for over 12 years now. The beagles adore Ed and his team and the team is always kind, trustworthy, prompt, and reliable. They have also gone above and beyond by cleaning up the occasional potty accident for example and have given great advice on pet healthcare (our fantastic vet was recommended by Ed). Angelface Peta are simply the best - I would not have kept them on for 12+ years otherwise. They always have been amazing with our pets.
We have been working with Angelface Pets for quite some time and would highly recommend them. It is clear to us that everyone on their team genuinely cares about our two dogs and is committed to providing them with top notch care. We love that the owner has been in this business for over a decade, and he has very high standards for each and every interaction with clients. The team is small enough that you know each person and know that they are familiar with your pets and your home, but it’s big enough that Angelface Pets can almost always accommodate our needs. We’ve worked with many different pet care services in Baltimore, and based on our experiences with a variety of providers we would choose Angelface Pets first every time.
Edward and his team has been taking care of our fur pets for almost 10 years. He is timely and spends a great amount of time with your pet or pets while you are out of town. Highly recommend!
Ed and his team take great care of my dogs ranging from doberman to cocker spaniel. Pics videos and updates on every visit. They have been there every time I asked, even with short notice. Could not ask for a better service and care.
