David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.
Angela provided complicated medical care for my sick dog for three weeks in Mexico City with the utmost professionalism and kindness Right before Angela’s arrival, my dog was hospitalized and almost died. Angela took care of follow up vets visits, administered eight medicines a day for two weeks, and nursed tico completely back to health I could tell from the photos and videos that she was taking excellent care of him - he was too weak to walk so she made a comfy bed for him in a large bag and carried him a over the city so he could still have fun during his recovery I could not recommend Ángela more. She went so far above and beyond what a pet sitter should do, and she did it all with a caring and capable attitude
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 🙂
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!
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!
Delphine was amazing. All 3 of our fur babies took an instant liking to her, which is very unusual of them. We right away knew both our cats and our dog would be happy with her. We came back to relaxed and happy pets and a clean house. We think we found our ‘go to’ house sitter with Delphine. We would love to have her over again.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Liz did an amazing job babysitting our home and our pets (3 cats and a dog). Communication with Liz was easy and we felt at ease knowing that everything was being taken care of. Liz took our dog Summer for daily walks and kept her entertained. We got regular photos of our pets which were great. She even looked after and watered many of our outdoor and indoor plants! She was very tidy and our home was left spotless. If you are looking for a sitter we can't recommend Liz highly enough!

We highly recommend bringing your pups to the Woofotel if you’re in the Baltimore area and need boarding. Meredith and her crew are amazing with dogs! They offer doggie daycare or long or short term boarding for your needs. Drop off and pick up is pretty easy and flexible! We have been customers here for over 4 years and only trust them with our dogs. Meredith also fosters dogs and that’s how we found her! She was the foster mom for two of our pups and she treats all dogs like they are her own. Our dogs love it here because they get to socialize and play while we are away! 💚 the Woofotel 🐾
Meredith has been my go to dog sitter and dog day care for almost 3 years and she is simply amazing. She takes care of him like he’s her own and is great with communication and sending updates. My Rottie absolutely loves her and loves staying at the Woofotel.
I ❤️ Woofotel! Meredith and Woofotel staff has always been there for us and our 7 year old puppy baby. I have a safe place I can trust, and sometimes on short notice. They've even helped all of my other friends too - with the same loving care 🐾 💕 🐾, OMG, Highly regarded and recommended!!!! …
Woofotel is amazing! Meredith and her team take incredible care of my two dogs, Pumba and Ziggy. Pumba, who I adopted during the pandemic and was quite shy at first, absolutely loves Meredith. Ziggy, who can be a bit of a handful, gets the perfect balance of patience and attention. Meredith treats them like family, and I always feel confident they’re in the best hands. Highly recommend Woofotel for any dog owner!
We were absolutely blessed to find Meredith and the Woofotel in 2022 after getting our dog, Archie. Meredith and her staff treat Archie like family and he is always so excited to go stay with her when we make trips out of town, and he loves having other pup friends to hang out with when he’s there! I couldn’t recommend anyone more than the Woofotel for taking care of your pup, especially if you are looking for a place where your dog will be treated like one of the family.
We love Meredith and the Woofotel staff! We have used them for the last two years and I trust them wholeheartedly. My dog is a little older and not so up for a full day of play, and they are able to accommodate her and the other laid-back pups in a calmer space! My dog is not the most trusting of strangers but we have never had an issue here. They are also super flexible with scheduling and always able to work with us. Part of our trip planning now always includes booking with Woofotel :)
Woofotel, Meredith, and their staff are by far the BEST place to take your pups. We have been coming here for years and even though we live in Baltimore county now, we still make the drive to bring our 4 dogs here. Meredith is extremely reliable, trustworthy, and she has the most gentle and kind demeanor. Our dogs are NOT easy dogs—one is people selective and one is dog reactive. She and her staff do an excellent job managing each of their individual needs and I can rest easy while our dogs are in their care. For example, we were away for our wedding and an emergency happened with two of our dogs (not Meredith or Woofotel’s fault) and Meredith took care of EVERYTHING. I recommend Woofotel to anyone and everyone who is looking for a non commercialized, personal attention daycare/boarding.
Woofotel is a blessing to the Mount Vernon area. Meredith and her staff are truly attuned to the needs of every animal in their care. I often have to travel quite a bit for my work and knowing that my little girl is there, safe and secure, with people who care about her instantly sets my heart at ease when I have to leave her. They are highly recommended!
This place is amazing! I was referred here by a family friend. The owner, Meredith is so good to my dog and me. Any time I drop him off he takes off running to her, which is a great thing. Meredith always has an opening for my pup and she treats him like her own. He's never returned home dirty or injured. One time he got a bit of anxiety I went to get him and Meredith offered some meds to assist. I loved this bc the vet is ridiculously expensive. Because of this I feel like a special customer and a part of the crew. So does my dog. This is the best place to board your dog. This place is safe and very dependable. My dog's most recent stay over Labor Day was almost cancelled due to my and my dog's comfort level. Due to the full house, my dog was crated upon drog off which drove him nuts. I forgot something for him, so I had to come back. That's how I know he was crated. When I heard him barking I knew he was very uncomfortable and unhappy so I comforted him. The staff member present observed this reaction and notified Meredith. Meredith literally text me as soon as I went to call her to ask if she was sure she had the space for my boy. I was prepared to cancel. She assured me she would never take an animal she couldnt properly cared for and asked me if she could move him to where she was for the moment. Of course, I agreed. She later sent me pics of him being his regular self playing and begging for food. This is an example of much she loves what she does. I read some of the other reviews and most of us are in agreement that this is a dog heaven. However, one user accused Meredith of being racist. I can assure you I am a black woman, my boyfriend is also black, and I have a black lab. Meredith, her family, and her staff all treat us exceptionally well. If you're having trouble reaching Meredith or staff, please text or call her. Meredith responds best through text.
Meredith (owner) is the best person to board a dog in baltimore. We have an older rescue who isn't very friendly to strangers. Our dog easily fits the bill for being "difficult." With Meredith and Woofotel, we have nothing to worry about. She is very easy to work with a very professional. Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable place to take care of their dog when they need to leave town.
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.
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.
My dogs love Drew and the kids! They are always happy and act like little maniacs when they see them coming. I never worry when they are in his care.He is always available for my last minute shenanigans and really flexible when it comes to my schedule
If i could give 10 stars i would. MyDawgTwo has been amazing and has came through for me and Chance every time. From the first meet and greet, my chancie boy was comfortable. My dog is fur baby and i always want someone who watches him treat him like he’s their own. My dog starts to whine when i get close to Drew’s location every time. Drew is professional, the reminders are perfect and the no complaints about the communications. Thank you Drew for everything and accommodating my pop up travel needs 🙏🏾. Chance and i will see you soon
Drew is very reliable and communicative! My dog enjoys going over there and I feel confident that she is being well taken care of.
Drew watches my dogs a couple days every week. They are always excited to go inside when they get to his house.
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.
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.
