Providing Pet Sitting in the Ellerslie, Maryland
Flexible, reliable, & adventurous married couple. Animal loving + Travel ready!
Jordan and Alexander were absolutely wonderful pet and house sitters during our 3.5 weeks away. Jordan kept in contact with us with pictures and updates about our dog, and it was clear both she and Alexander are real animal lovers. They took wonderful care of our home, plants and garden as well, and we came back to a clean and tidy house and a happy dog. If they had any questions, they would just ask, and they took care of everything that was needed while we were traveling. We highly recommend them for any house and pet sit opportunity, and hope they will come back to our home again next time we go away. Thank you, Jordan and Alexander!

Globetrotting retired vet and property manager
Julia & David were wonderful pet and house sitters. Fortunately we were able to meet in person prior to our departure to give them the lay of the land. Julia's background as a Veternarian was an added bonus. They communicated daily with updates and photos of our Pomeranian, Teddy. Our house was left spotless! David also did some light repairs in our lanai/patio. I highly recommend Julia and David for pet /house sitting.

I'd love to meet you and your pets! Please take a peek at my profile.
Tanya was great! The pups were well taken care of and happy when we got back, the house was clean and well taken care of as well. She was very communicative before, during, and after the stay and we greatly appreciated all of her attentive and detailed care. Would happily have them back again!

Experienced dog rescuer and foster
Beirne is a very clearly a dog person. My pups took to her in less than a minute of meeting. It was clear that Beirne has been enjoying her travels with the added bonus of being able to sit for other people’s pets. We spent a day together to show the ropes, walks and local amenities before we left. We had daily pupdates with photos and videos. Our pups looked loved and safe in their own home. Our home was very clean and tidy when we got back and we would highly recommend you accept Beirne’s offer for future sits.

Professional and reliable sitter ready to take good care of your home and pets!
This is Steve's third time coming to take care of our cats, and everything has been wonderful. We trust Steve to look after our home and cats. Steve is familiar with all the routines at our place, which gives us a lot of peace of mind when we're away. Coming back home to happy cats and a clean, tidy house also greatly relaxes our mood.

I'm trustworthy and I love animals. I look forward to pet/house sitting for you.
Kerby was a great pet sitter. Super communicative, loving of the pets, friendly, flexible, and accommodating. It was great to meet her especially knowing her background. It was great to meet her. I highly recommend Kerby!

A California girl, who's really from Maryland, and about to move to New York...
We only have positive things to say about Tiffany after three back-to-back sits with her and would be honored to have her back anytime. Our home was exactly as we left it and our two cats became acquainted with her so quickly, dare I say the fastest ever. During the sit, Tiffany kept us in the loop with everything around the home with regular check-ins including photos of the babies. Tiffany was very polite and so responsible. When we came home, my husband and I were both marveling at how everything looked the exact same as we left it. Over the years of having sitters, both friends and acquaintances, this had never been the case. Having Tiffany truly felt like we had never left, both regarding our home as well as the cats’ behavior! Cannot recommend Tiffany enough 🩵

Fabulous sitter! Alison and Chris were a pleasure to host. The house was spotless when we got back and the fur babies were very happy. I would recommend Alison for any sit and she is welcome back anytime

Clean, Cuddly, & Communicative Caretakers!
Miranda and Kyle did a nice job sitting our senior cat. He was a bit anxious due to our absence, and there was a thunderstorm that scared him. They were kind and attentive, comforting him and keeping us posted. He had all his meds and was definitely happy for the loving company. Miranda was very communicative and reliable. We would invite them to sit again!

I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $18/day per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
This is a fantastic small business run by a true pet lover, with a huge fenced in yard to exercise the dogs, daily photos and kind texts, and lots of play time with the other dogs who are boarding at Mad Pawz. Truly first rate in every respect, with clear communications and fair pricing. The owners are lovely people who will love your dogs. Our family travels regularly. And as much as we love them, we can't always take our two dogs with us. A friend recommended trying Faith and her family at Mad Pawz for the very best care in the area. And our friend was right - we feel like we hit the jackpot in dog boarding.
Faith and Justin at Mad Pawz are awesome! They sent us photos and updates of our Luna everyday and even got her a pup cup for spoil your pup day! When we picked Luna up, Faith was very informative on how everything went. 10/10 recommend!!
We found Mad Pawz by chance while we were frantically looking to board our Bo right before a trip Puerto Rico. The place we normally take him was full because of course we wait until the last minute. Of course I was hesitant as he had never gone there before but I tell you what, I’m normally not a lucky person, but we hit the jackpot. Mad Pawz isn’t a typical boarding facility, it’s a home away from home. What boarding facility has ever sent you pictures of your pets every single day? Without fail, every day I received a picture of Bo and I could tell that he was so happy to be there by the look on his face. It made me smile and tear up a little every single time. He’s not sad in a kennel all day. He’s happy and playing with his new best friends! It gave me a peace of mind that you can’t really even put a price tag on. I didn’t worry about him for one second while I was gone. I only leave reviews if I am so extremely happy with something that I feel I have to tell others. If you’re looking for a HOME (not a kennel) away from home for your pets, I can’t recommend anywhere better!
You couldn't find a better place to board your furbabies than Mad Pawz! You can tell instantly it's more than a job to Faith and Justin. It's a passion, and that's what makes Mad Pawz our first choice for our pet boarding needs! Oh, and the daily pictures of our pups didn't hurt either!
Mad Pawz takes great care of my dog when I'm away, and it's been a big help with her socialization with other dogs. Prices are fair, and with their new location, the dogs have a big yard to play in.
A+++ service, friendly, pet oriented care. This is our go to pet boarding and drop in dog walking service. Price is very reasonable. Your fur baby is in good hands here!!!
It was a great atomsphere for my 2 dogs they had a blast, Mad Pawz sent me photos of them playing or laying around relaxin. They had a party and the dogs get pup cups. Thanks Mad Pawz job well done
I was very apprehensive about leaving our boy Loki with a boarding place and I’m so glad we chose Mad Pawz! He was taken such great care of and he absolutely loved it there. He was treated like one of the family and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was doing so well! They send daily updates and photos and that was wonderful! Highly recommend this for your fur babies!
Horrible customer service from Faith. She did not check the paperwork or ask any questions prior to his first visit nor did she try to get to know him before taking him inside. We heard Faith screaming at the other dogs from the front yard when we arrived. Then she continued to tell us that she was leaving to run errands but her husband was in the yard. When we arrived for pickup, Justin was in the yard and the dogs were inside. Completely unacceptable to be paying for a sitter and he’s not being monitored especially when other dogs are present. Justin was very nice and friendly during pickup and the only positive outcome of this experience
Such an amazing dog daycare spot! My family & I went to go experience the Allegheny train ride, so we needed to drop our little fur baby for a couple hours. He had lots of fun with the other dogs and would definitely recommend it to others! Faith was super sweet and we felt very comfortable dropping our little pup.
Tina, Jamie, everyone there has always provided excellent care for our Collies. We think they love them as much as we do! The facilities are spacious and well designed. The drop off and pick up times are very convenient. Communication is seamless. They continue to add enrichment experiences, walks, play spaces, even special seasonal treats. We don’t feel any guilt when Kepler needs to stay at his Pet Resort.
We can't say enough about the amazing care our pups, Bella and King, receive at Dogwood Pet Resort. From the moment we drop them off, we know they're in the best hands. Tina and her team are absolutely wonderful. They treat our dogs like their own, and it's evident that they genuinely care about their well-being. Every time we pick up Bella and King, they're always happy, healthy, and full of energy. It's clear they've had a blast during their stay. We trust Dogwood Pet Resort completely and highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a place to board!
Fantastic experience for our Zuzu! We used Dogwood for 3 separate vacations this summer and couldn’t give them higher praise. Tina and everyone there truly love their jobs and our fur babies. The additions they have offered now such as nature walks and playtime in the yard kept her very active and content. She was always clean and happy every time we’ve picked her up. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality care for their pups. She even gave us updates and pictures 😊.
Staff is great with my dog, Kenji, and he seems very happy there. He's always excited when he goes there, which is a good thing. When I take Kenji to Dogwood, our drive is an hour and some. Because of how my dog is treated, I will keep driving that far when I need to board him again.
First time we took our dog there, we had the best experience. He was only there 5 days the first time. However, our second experience was not the best. He came home with a chewed harness, broken leash, and smelled like dog/cat pee. After spending $150more dollars to replace everything that was broken and on a grooming appointment, he’s finally back to the same self. His behavior has changed drastically. He does not listen to his basic commands and is chewing everything insight, including our brand new carpet. I really hat to give poor reviews to any business because the worked were so kind and informative when dropping and picking our dog up. I just hope this was one bad experience.
Our baby boy loves your place. My husband and I never worry when he’s with you. You can tell that you love him as if he was your own. Your place is always so clean, the entire staff is friendly and helpful… you have us forever 🥰🥰 …
We had a fantastic experience with Dogwood Pet Resort! The staff was friendly, the facilities were clean, and our dog came back happy and well-cared for. AND the nature walks are a plus. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving place to board their furry friend.
Tina and Tony are great pet people. They take time to go over all of ur concerns and make sure ur dog is as happy and taken care of as best as any dog kennel I have ever seen. There employees Jamie and Benett are also very willing to listen to your pet concerns and make sure you feel good leaving ur fur baby with them. Our dog loves to stay there and we can tell when we pick him up he is happy as he was when we dropped him off. Our dog will stay there moving forward and I'm glad we found such a great place to take care of our furry friend.
My daughter took my grandog to Dogwood pet resort for a day out of the house and she came back the happiest we've ever seen her! They bathed her, blew her coat (Husky), clipped her nails and played her little heart out. She can't wait to go back for another day out of the house and to explore the new play yard ❤️
My dog is always eager to go and happy when I pick him up. The staff are amazingly wonderful. The beautiful wooded site makes it marvelous for his daily walks. Saxon gives it 5 woofs!
a perfect place to bring your pets if you are going on vacation or just need a day to yourself. the staff is wonderful and super friendly.
They have watched our cats twice now and I'm very happy with them. My cats seemed very happy there when I came to pick them up. Their staff are always very friendly and helpful.
My dogs are always treated so good here. Very clean facility and friendly, caring staff.
Absolutely the best kennel for pets that I have ever used and my wife and I have lived in multiple states!! They are so professional and my dog gets excited about going there. I have never had any issue regarding fleas and ticks there, unlike other boarding places. Their prices are reasonable and I like their grooming services.
Happy Tails is the absolute best boarding and grooming place. We’ve taken our lab, Captain, here for more than 4 years. The kennels are clean and staff are over the top friendly! Highly recommend!
We absolutely LOVE this place. When we bring our fur baby here, we do not exist once he steps in the door. He looks forward to coming here and is always happy which makes us happy. 😁 …
These people are absolutely the BEST!!!! They treat every single dog like family!! Dale & his wife are so sweet/ loving & patient...really good folks. I always feel good about leaving my dogs here & am confident they are in good hands when I'm gone. Both my guys were there today getting groomed & they look awesome! Can't thank Happy Tails enough for always doing an amazing job! Love this place!💖🐩
Love this place for my pets. They take such good care of them. I worried at first cause I never leave them but they did wonderful. The grooming was great my dogs smelled good for a month.
Happy Tails did a great job taking care of our two dogs recently. Will definitely go back. Very convenient drop off and pick up times too.
First visit this week great team, and easy to work with. What peace of mind we had on Vacation. We were able to call to check on Tank. If they did not answer they gave a call back quickly and the price was great for there quality service. We highly recommend if you need someone to look after your fur baby. Thanks Dale and everyone at Happy Tails. You all did great.
Jessica and Kevin are the very best caretakers for your pet. My dog Pinky warmed up to them faster than she’s warmed up to any sitters, including my own family members! This is because they showered her with true kindness and even love. They were great to work with - very accommodating and sent updates. They will welcome your pet into their family, and I am so happy we found them. Highly recommend & we will use again.
Jess and Kevin were able to watch our dogs on a last minute trip for us. The pups were so happy and content being there. It was obvious how well they were taking care of. Only 30 minutes from Oakland. We will definitely use their services again. Thank you both!
