Shauna was a wonderful house and pet sitter. I got occasional photos of Buzzi (the cat) -- enough for me to see that Buzzi was very happy. Periodic updates from Shauna revealed no problems. The house looks great; now I just have to keep it that neat and clean.

Quiet, reliable and responsible cat (and small dog) lady
This was our first time using a Trusted Sitter, and I'm so grateful Elena chose to stay with our precious pup. He's a senior dog that requires a little extra attention, and Elena was so kind and caring with him. From our very first zoom call to get to know one another, I knew Elena would be a great fit. She was very organized, told us what she needed to know, and was very flexible when our dates changed a bit. Elena sent several pictures of Beamer every day. My kids eagerly awaited to see what their brother was up to while we were away. He looked so happy in all of his pictures. She took him for walks and gave him plenty of cuddle time. Elena also took such great care of our home. We arrived back to a spotless house! Our experience with Elena was more than I could have hoped for using Trusted Sitter. It was like having an old friend stay over. I highly recommend Elena, and hope she will be available to stay the next time we go on vacation!

Hi! I am Olivia, and my partner's name is Belrie. We look forward to meeting you
I am so fortunate because I had to cancel this sit at the last moment and Olivia and Belrie were extremely understanding. All our communications leading up to the sit were phenomenal, and I can't wait to have them stay with Pearl soon.

I've lost track of the number of times Jasmine has house sit for us. As always she is reliable and responsive. I know my house and pets are in good hands with her. She is a great communicator. We came home to a clean house and happy kitties. I highly recommend her!

Monica was an outstanding house sitter. She communicated well, took very good car of our cat, and was very gracious after a falling tree limb took out the internet. We would definitely invite her to sit again.

I’m either fighting crime or with animals in my downtime <3
We loved having Duha sit for us. Communication was excellent and she needed little guidance after the initial walk-through. Both cats took to her immediately and really missed her when we returned. Duha even navigated some contract work outside the house when workers that we had been waiting on showed up unexpectedly. All in all, we had a great experience and would love to have Duha back any time.

What a great experience we had with Lisa. She was so good with Cella. She was very tolerant of Cella's early rising. She's a tiny little thing, but has a big personality and knows what she wants. Lisa was so good at reading her needs. We were able to have a zoom interview with Lisa before we confirmed the sit. She stayed in touch with us daily and kept us updated on how things were going. When we arrived home, Lisa had washed all of the bedding and towels. She vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. We couldn't be more pleased with Lisa as our sitter for Cella. We hope we'll be able to have her again. She was awesome.

Claire's performance as a house sitter surpassed all expectations, making her an absolute gem in the world of home and pet care. She demonstrated exceptional courtesy and communicated with remarkable clarity and promptness, keeping me informed every step of the way. Punctuality and reliability are hallmarks of Claire's service. She arrived exactly when promised and was fully prepared to manage all the responsibilities we discussed. Her proactive approach and diligent attention to detail provided immense peace of mind. Not only did Claire take impeccable care of my home, but his affectionate and attentive handling of my beloved pup, Modi, was truly heartwarming. Her updates and thoughtful notes about Modi's well-being were incredibly reassuring, making me feel connected even when I was away. Clair's meticulous care extended beyond the basics. She went above and beyond, ensuring that every aspect of my home was looked after with the utmost respect and consideration. From watering plants to maintaining cleanliness, her efforts were nothing short of extraordinary. I wholeheartedly endorse Claire for anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated house sitter. I look forward to having her back and cannot recommend her highly enough. A solid 5-star rating is an understatement for the exceptional service she provides!
Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!
Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest! Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!
Martin was a very conscientious and thoughtful house sitter who took excellent care of our pets and our home. He was reliable, self-sufficient, and a very good communicator. He clearly enjoys and cares for animals, and our house was spotless when we returned. We recommend him wholeheartedly!
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
I felt totally confident in leaving Darcy and my house in Elaine’s care and I returned to a very contended dog and a perfectly clean and tidy house. Elaine arrived the day before I left so I was able to get to know her and enjoy an evening meal with her before my very early flight. We kept in contact while I was away via WhatsApp and I was happy to see photos of Darcy relaxing in her usual favourite places. It was lovely to be welcomed back home after my holiday by a very well looked after dog and it was so nice that Elaine was here to welcome me and had the lamps on, flowers in vases and a meal in the oven. My house was clean and tidy and Darcy has enjoyed a week of lovely walks and neck scratches. I highly recommend Elaine as a completely reliable pet and house sitter and she is a lovely lady to chat to. I was so pleased that I got to know her.
Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic! We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️. The house looked great when we returned. They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!
5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith

Always nice to spend time with Bonnie and Jim and all the fur babies.
Please do not take your dogs here… we dropped our dog off for the weekend, which i was already on edge about because of the look and smell of the place. I am so upset I left my dog here. I picked her up and my dog smelt HORRIFIC! The whole place was a junk pit, everything was over grown, trash was everywhere. She advertised a large fenced area where my dog would run… she left her in the kennel for 4 days straight. The large fenced area is for her own dogs. I am mortified that I left my dog at this place.
Top notch care given. Great for large, active, or "difficult" dogs. No crate boarding- all dogs have their own indoor-outdoor run. Owner has incredible knowledge about dogs, training, and canine health.
Bonnie is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and can handle large dogs. The staff is dog savvy as well.
Great Kennel. Well trained and nice staff. The owner Bonnie Dalzell is extremely knowledgeable and is very trustworthy!
Bonnie knows her stuff and will love your dogs like her own
Great care of dogs. Super personnel.
Licensed by Baltimore County. Smart, caring staff.
They take great care of Dogs
We have used Richlyn Rovers since we got our pup over 2 years ago and they have been wonderful to work with since then. Both the owner, Sherri, and her crew do a great job and send great pics and updates with each visit/walk. They are very communicative and flexible to our schedule and we truly appreciate what they do for our pup! I couldn't recommend them enough for pet walking services!
Richlyn Rovers gets a 10 star review from us!!! We are long time customers but first time with our current Lab overnight. Prior to our trip I was very concerned about leaving our Lab overnight for a week. Under the care of Sherri and her team she did perfectly fine. They are truly caring and very efficient at providing care. All of our instructions were followed to a T! And then some. Pictures and updates were sent each and every visit. It provided me with great comfort to read about and see my Lab under their care in photos and texts. I will always use Richlyn Rovers and highly recommend the loving care they provide to their customers. They treat your fur babies like family. Thank you to everyone who provided care to our Lab, Journey.
Sherri and her crew have helped walk and care for my cats and dogs over the last 7 or so years. I can tell they care about you and your pets. They are very accommodating when I need something special or need to shift a walking day around. They have even been able to help when I have had foster animals. They even make nervous fosters feel comfortable! Richlyn Rovers are great which makes them in demand. You have to plan ahead for any help you need for travel during typical busy times around holidays. I have no idea what Maureen Tipton is angry about in their review. I have never seen anything like what they describe in all the years I have worked with Sherri's team. It's unfortunate her one star review drags down RR's overall score. I imagine they ask for the manager a LOT!
I have used this pet sitting service for several months now and absolutely love their service. Sherri and her team are highly reliable and treat all my pets like family. I have used them enough times that they are familiar with my pets' behaviors and idiosyncrasies. They give me great updates when I am at work or when I am out of town and have excellent pictures of them. They have also been considerate to take out my trash/recycling even when I didn't request it or forgot to. My two dogs and cat love them and treat them like family at this point. I trust them fully and they give me great peace of mind that my pets are in good hands while I am not home. Highly recommend.
Sherri and her team are really great! They were so attentive with our fur babies and accommodating.
I will really give no stars but I couldn't post without one. I have had a trip booked for many months. I find out they can't sit my dog. I only found out because I emailed to get paperwork. No call, no nothing. Very unreliable people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go elsewhere!!!
Amazing service for our family. They keep our dog happy and healthy with dog walking now that we’re back in the office. Great service and communication.
Amazing! Very friendly and professional. Even tries to work with short notice emergencies. Can't recommend enough.
Trustworthy,loves animals,not just a job,she loves her profession.
No call back
We have been going to Dogtopia since the beginning of this year. Communication with the staff is awesome. Staff is awesome. Our girl loves it. She is excited and ready to go. Boarding has been a plus.
The staff is friendly and really care about the dogs as if they were their own. I love the events they have for the dogs at the center and the camera access owner's are granted upon signing up. I love this place and my dog does too.
We LOVE Dogtopia of Towson! They are always excited to greet our Shibas. The center is clean, they remember even the slightest of requests. Their webcams are clear so you can see the coaches professionally interact with your dogs, but most importantly, my dogs are so much happier in every aspect of their life. They get along with one another better once home, and they actually sleep through the night now! What a Godsend! My dogs slept in today for the first time ever! Sadly I let them sleep in instead of going to daycare, and now it is early afternoon and they are giving me the side eye because they aren't at Dogtopia. LOL. I won't be making that mistake again. Come check them out. You won't be sorry!! It's a great place!
My Macee Pooh is such a sweet girl who is very timid with Men. Every person I met at the Towson location was so pleasant and professional and gentle with our MaceePooh!!! She come homes tired every time, even if she's just in the "Gym" getting her steps in with the pac. The staff here were great with keeping me calm about leaving our baby for the day.
Fantastic. I was nervous about taking my dog for day care. He is BIG ENERGY, and a fairly large dog. But this team are pros. He had a great day, and they do a great job. I’m a big fan.
The staff is the absolute best. They are so welcoming and kind and really love the pups that come. The facilities are always so clean as well. My dog Ruby loves coming to see her friends. She goes once a week for play and I have boarded her as well. I fully trust them with my pup and highly recommend!
They are prompt and professional. Marely has been attending doggy daycare for three days now and they are awesome with him. I would highly recommend. The meet and greet was nerve wracking for me, but the staff were knowledgable, kind, and compassionate. They ensured me that Marely would be in good hands and I felt validated by them with the care I was able to see during the meet and greet. It’s so calming to know my fur baby boy is in good care when I can’t be with him. He will also be boarding with them while I’m away on vacation.
My puppy Roscoe loves Dogtopia! He has grown so much since he started attending 1-2 days a week. He was extremely anxious when he started attending and the staff showed so much patience and care with him. Now he runs straight to the door and happily trots to the playroom with the Canine Coaches. The staff has been friendly and communicative since day one- special shout out to Hailey for always calming my pet parent anxiety! Our recent boarding experience was especially great. My husband and I were very anxious to leave our pup for a week and board him for the first time. Everyone was kind and understanding and listened to our litany of instructions. During our trip we recieved email updates and phone calls. He had trouble eating one day, and I recieved a call asking to add broth to his food. His final day, he was bit by another dog. When Hailey called it was clear this was not a normal occurrence and she was anxious herself, but showed professionalism and compassion. He was taken directly to the ER and I recieved a detailed care plan from both Dogtopia and the vet. (The other dog was dismissed from care.) He was fine and when I went to pick up his boarding items, he ran straight to the front door and greeted all the canine coaches with kisses and playfulness while we waited for his items. Because of how well this situation was handled, I still 100% trust the staff at Dogtopia and will return when his injury has healed. The love for the dogs in their care is apparent.
Love Dogtopia! Staff is friendly and they take good care of my pup. Mazie seems very happy there.
Milo have an amazing time at his meet and greet. He is high energy and was exhausted after his first day at Dogtopia. He made lots of friends and can’t wait to return. The staff was warm and welcoming. Couldn’t have asked for more.
Whittington pet sitting has always gone above and beyond with caring for our pup. I never feel worried about her care and love getting updates after each walk. Highly recommend them to anyone who wants their pet cared for with phenomenal quality service!
Jessica and her team are wonderful. We’ve availed of their service several times and we’re always satisfied every time. Shout out to Cheryl- she is amazing! Even though we have an anxious cat, she would try to still play with him and even checks on him under the bed or night stand where he hides when she comes. She would keep on trying and that warms my heart because Fredrik is scared, anxious and was traumatized when we adopted him so he doesn’t do well with other animals and other people. Cheryl would just keep her distance at the same time let him know she’s just there in case he wants to play. It makes me and my husband happy that we have wonderful people taking care of Fredrik while we are away. They send updates daily with pictures. 100% highly recommend Whittington Pet Sitting if you are in Harford County.
Whittington were so reliable they put our mind at ease when we went on vacation. Two of our pets needed medication and that was no problem. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies Diane and Charles Griffith
We loved our experience with Whittington! Our pets were loved and cared for. You get photos of your pets each day they visit as well as updates. You can request additional visits if you feel it is necessary. This was so much easier than wrangling our cats into carriers and boarding them and way less stressful for our cats.
Jessica and her team to such good care of my kids. Sending me updates and pictures so I felt like they were in good hands the whole time I was gone. Highly recommend them and I will be asking them to care for my kittens again for sure. These are pictures of my kittens that they took and sent to me.
We were very satisfied with our services and the daily communication while Jessica and her team cat sat for us. Our cat received attention, playtime, and pets but her personal space was also respected. We loved the pictures that were sent to us. All of our requests regarding caring for our cat and home were followed. We would definitely use them again for our next trip!
I cannot say enough good things about them. We have a very fearful dog and they’ve shown absolute expertise in working within his boundaries. After each visit, I get a message with photos and an easy to read visual to know which dog peed/poo’d, drank/ate and it’s so lovely seeing them happy and in good hands. I love that we can ask them to come 4 days a week if my husband is traveling or as little as 1-2x/month on long days. It’s so nice that they try and give consistency in who comes, but honestly I’d trust anyone Jessica Whittington has trained.
We had an excellent experience with Whittington Pet Sitting. One of our cats was newly put on twice daily medication right before we had a week-long trip scheduled, and we realized we needed professionals to step in. Jessica was very responsive, getting back to me the next day, and came out for an introductory meeting within a few days of our first contact. Thereafter, Emmaleigh provided fantastic care for both cats for the duration of our trip. We are glad to know that we have a reliable team we can trust to take care of our cats whenever needed!
Jess and her team truly care about your animals. They go above and beyond to treat your pets like family and work with whatever needs you may need. I highly recommend Whittington to anyone looking for care for their pets.
Whittington Pet Sitting was amazing from the first meet and greet and every day after that they cared for our cat. We received daily updates and photos which made us so comfortable leaving her in their care. 100% recommend.
Working with Laurie Corak was exactly what I needed. With an over-active puppy, super energetic and smart, I was a little lost. Laurie is a miracle worker. She is a lovely person, patient and kind, and when we left after the first session, I felt able to begin the training journey. My puppy benefited with greater engagement and I felt much more confident. She also was enormously helpful when I needed specific advice—easy to talk with about challenges. I would recommend her to anyone! She is superb.
My dog Ghibli had never stayed anywhere other than with me, so I was very nervous. However, Laurie put me completely at ease. She provided regular updates with texts and pictures and was very transparent about my dog’s behavior and experience. The environment was exceptionally clean, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Ghibli in Laurie's expert care.
Laurie is a professional, highly educated, and friendly dog trainer that was incredibly helpful in training my golden retriever puppy (and me). In addition to patient and detailed hands-on training, she thoroughly explains everything from what you should expect from your dog, subtle behaviors, and how to tackle small issues. She is a wonderful resource on everything dog-related! My dog Maverick loved her, and so did I! He responded very well to her thoughtful training. Laurie makes it fun and we always walk away from the sessions happy and inspired! Cannot recommend her enough.
Adventure Dog Academy had been recommended by our vet for our very busy lab puppy! From our initial meeting with Laurie Corack we felt she had such compatible beliefs with us regarding training style and how to have a happy, bonded puppy in our family. She was very much responsive to our needs as seniors with such an active pup. Her tips and advice were available everyday if we needed her. She provides boarding along with training and even play dates to learn how to recognize interactions (positive and negative) between our dog and others. Ruby loves Laurie and even though she’s still an enthusiastic greeter she is definitely responsive when training commences. Laurie has been such an amazing partner taking Ruby from puppy to “teenager” and we are extremely satisfied and appreciative of her skill.
Laurie is the best! I love her approach to training. Our 3 year old Aussie is an angel after the puppy 101 course and some extra sessions to work on advanced skills. We were so impressed with how knowledgeable, patient, and fun Laurie is during our sessions. We value her training so much that we signed our new puppy up for virtual Puppy 101 with Laurie even though we now live in California across the country. She has been wonderful with helping us with the transition of now having two dogs and has taken special care to make sure our 3 year old Aussie is also transitioning to the change in a healthy and stable way. And of course watching our new puppy learn and grow in her skills has been so rewarding as a pet owner. We really could not have done it without Laurie, and are so grateful for her in this family!
I cannot speak more highly of Laurie! This is my second time training with Laurie as I was fortunate enough to find her a few years back when we adopted a 2 year old higher energy dog and was so pleased with all that we accomplished. It was a no brainer when we adopted a second dog, a puppy, who has even more energy and some other quirks to work through that Laurie would be our trainer for round 2! It has been so fun working with Laurie who is not only an amazing trainer but a wonderful person. Bonus- Laurie understands children and family life balance when it comes to dogs and the needs of all! Go with Adventure Dog Academy; you will not be disappointed!
Laurie was incredibly helpful in tailoring a plan for my overly outgoing dog who needed some leash manners when seeing others. She was able to set up multiple training scenarios for us to work on and access to multiple dogs to practice alongside- I haven’t found that level of custom care anywhere else! She is accessible, quick to respond, fun to be with and makes training a cooperative experience between you and your dog- Okra and I have become so much closer and understand each other so much better since working with Laurie. I will certainly reach out to her any time I need a refresher or boarding for my pup!
Laurie is so knowledgeable and AMAZING! After bringing home our wild Aussie pup in February, we quickly realized we were out of practice with puppy training and needed guidance. Laurie leapt into action helping us troubleshoot issues like nipping, jumping on guests, and playing too rough with our wimpy cat. We really loved Laurie's positive training ethos and her calm, patient demeanor during our in-person sessions. We learned a lot and had so much fun along the way. (Turns out she has a wonderful sense of humor too!) We're so grateful to have found Adventure Dogs Academy and can't recommend Laurie enough!
Amazing trainer! Very professional and thorough. Laura began working with our puppy at 10 weeks of age and it was amazing what she taught us right away. He is only 5 months now, but we have a better understanding of his behaviors and he has become an amazing puppy already. Laurie was always there if I had a question following a lesson and even now, out of our lesson count, she will get back to me quickly if I have any questions. Highly recommend Laurie!!
Our mini goldendoodle, Waffles, loved working with Laurie. She quickly built trust with him, and he responded so well to the training. She was able to effectively target his unwanted behaviors with good solutions that truly worked. It was a pleasure to work with her.
Our dog was well cared for. It was our first time boarding him and he felt very comfortable when I dropped him off. The staff/family were very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend them!
Barton Manor is the only place we will leave our dog, Charlie. After poor experiences with boarding at other venues (Charlie being placed in "timeout" and left in a crate for most of the day, UTI's or some other illness when we bring him home, etc.), Barton Manor's staff provides Charlie with the same love and attention that he would get at home. He's always excited when we get to Barton Manor and practically runs to the door to be let inside. Management is also incredibly flexible with pickup/drop off and understanding when plans change. We recently welcomed our first child into the world and Barton Manor allowed us to cancel/move our boarding appointment without any issues as well as pickup during off-hours due to unforeseen circumstances. Truly amazing ownership, staff, and care for your pet.
We love this Kennel. Our dogs love staying here as well. Everyone is super nice and polite. And they are very good with furry babies.
We love Barton Manor! Our dog Lilith has always come out happy, clean and healthy. We trust this family to always deliver top quality!
Barton Manor is the best thing we have ever found for our dogs. It is a true small business that is run by a great family with your dogs best interests in mind. We have never had a bad experience and our dogs always come home tired but relaxed. I will always and only use this place.
We love Barton! The facilities are top notch especially the location for the long nature walks. Cheri and her family take care of our big girl like she was their own. We feel safe leaving her in the care when she can't be with us.
First time boarding our almost 2 year mini golden doodle...they took great care of her! Very nice and caring.
Our go-to place for boarding our dogs. They come back happy, healthy and smelling great! Thank you for taking such good care of them!!
Used this place last summer it was our first time ever boarding our dog Zoey. Picked this place due to all the good reviews an we are glad we did. She did great. Have no complaints an will deff use them again if needed. But we don't ever need to board it's super rare. But when we do will be giving them a call.
We have boarded our dog at Barton Manor since 2014, and we could not be more thrilled by the Barton Family and the care our dog receives while staying with them. They are some of the kindest people. They treat our dog (and us!) like a member of their family. Their facilities are superior, and they are constantly making small improvements that only enhance the incredible care our dog receives (like constant temperature monitoring of the kennel spaces and a community play area). I trust them with our pup implicitly. Highly recommend!
I was looking for a place where my 8 month old puppy could make some new friends and burn off some of that seemingly endless puppy energy and Dogtopia is just the place. She has made lots of new friends who love to play as much as she does and the staff are wonderful. She comes home exhausted and I know she had a good day. Also love the Webcams so I can check on her while she's there.
I have had such an amazing experience with dogTopia. Upon arrival, I was greeted, friendly faces, everything was just welcoming. Not to bash other dog services, but I took him to Bestfriends FURever at first but I believe they need a little bit more experience handling pitbull/Lab mix. Anyways, nonetheless Maxx went in for his meet and greet. It took less than 10 minutes with the people interaction and then he was released in with the other dogs and Max did so well. I am glad that I found Topia so that way Max can get out the house and have some outside time while mommy is at work. Not only that majority of the dogs here are rescues and Maxx is a rescue so that helps a lot better because the staff definitely know how to tender to them and make sure that they feel safe and know that their parents will be back they're not just getting dropped off again. They also let you stay for the meet and greet and not just drop your pooch off which best friends forever does just a heads up. :)
Our dog has been going to Dogtopia weekly for several months now and she loves it! We have had nothing but a positive and welcoming experience from all of the staff. Every morning when our dog comes in she is greeted by name and with the biggest hello. I love seeing her play on the cameras and having her participate in the weekly events (agility courses, picture days, treat days). She has made best friends and gets so excited every time she goes (2-3x weekly). We plan it strategically when our dog goes so that she is tired for the next day. When our dog comes home she is soooo tired from playing all day and it lasts through the next day! The staff make the business as awesome as it is!
We love Dogtopia! Ruby has a lot of energy for a puppy and she looks forward to playing with all of her friends twice a week! The staff are amazing with the dogs. They are always tentative and kind and make me feel completely at peace knowing my girl is in great hands. We love the extra treat and event days they throw in.. she loved her cauliflower tater tot, frozen yogurt, and grilled cheese. Mommy loved the artwork Ruby created with her paw print as a tulip. I’m sure she’s going to beg me to visit more. We are very thankful for all the staff does to give our girl the BEST experience!
My dog was attacked and no accountability was take what so ever she had two teeth knocked out and lacerations all over her face Update: we finally got a small amount of information after we got the police involved. The owner cc all the higher up on the email to cover her own butt. This place is terrible. If I could do a haft a star I would. Update number two: they don’t like real reviews because they removed my review DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!
I had a terrible experience with Petsmart Pet Hotel who mixed up our reservation date. Reached out to Dogtopia of Bel Air who very quickly came to the rescue. I was able to make a same-day boarding reservation for two dogs. The front desk staff were super friendly when I arrived. Overall very accommodating, friendly, and customer service oriented. I am a first time customer, but my first impression is very positive and I am certain that I will be back. I highly recommend this business!!!
My dog attends Dogtopia of Bel Air for both daycare and boarding. She loves it here. She is an apartment dog, so being able to go play and run with other dogs is the highlight of her week. I appreciate how caring the staff is towards both me and my dog. Would definitely recommend.
My puupy and I had the best first day experience at Dogtopia Bel AIr. From the very start, which was my phone conversation first thing this morning with Katelyn to learn about the facility, to arriving at 9:30 am for our same day Meet & Greet, to touring the facility, to watching my puppy play comfortably and happily with others her size, to seamlessly securing unlimited weekly daycare for our baby Monday - Saturday, to picking her up after her first day of play with a VERY waggy tail, today was wonderful! I am very happy that we found you!
Our dog had his first meet and greet visit which he thoroughly enjoyed. We meet the owner and staff and we toured the play areas and boarding area. We liked everything so much and feel the staff is very caring so we're bringing our dog for a half day play time in a couple of days.
Maggie is so excited to come to “school” as our family calls it every time! We love how everyone knows Maggie and loves her as much as we do! Maggie loves playing with her friends and always comes home tired and happy! So happy that Dogtopia has found a place in Bel Air and love that their policy is temperament related and not breed specific. Thank you for creating a wonderful environment for our pup to socialize!
It was 5+ years ago we took our rotti for overnight stay Tammy was wonderful with Louie. She text pictures of him enjoying himself.
My parents use Paws on Parade and love it. Fantastic service!
Very happy with my experience so far. Liam has been great and communicates well. The pictures during the day of our pups activities are awesome. Priscilla (another dog walker) also took our pup out for a hike and her pics were great too. She was on time for drop off and very friendly. Thoroughly impressed with this company so far.
Amazing dog sitting service. I can’t say enough about Liam Scanlan. He was just awesome with all of our dogs and cat. Very professional and a real animal lover. You can always tell. My pets are not so easy but he took it in stride. I had such peace of mind leaving them for the weekend (we don’t go out very much because of them) but now we are set for life. We are very happy and grateful to Liam. Not to mention the great pictures he takes of our babies❤️
Love, love, love this team! Liam & Mackey are amazing. Our Dog Bruno has a great time at daycare & is so tired when he gets home. Bruno loves playing with the other dogs. Highly recommend!
Usually when I come home from vacation my dog is full of energy and bouncing off the walls after being stuck inside all day, but my past trip was surprisingly different. Mackey and Liam did such an awesome job taking Chloe for super long walks and throwing her ball for her in our backyard. They provided constant pictures twice a day to show just how much fun my dog was having in their care. They provided hilarious, detailed reviews of each walk/ meal after each visit. You can tell these guys love what they do and really care about the pets they work with. Going away next month and will definitely be using them again. Easy to schedule/ pay and an awesome staff.
I was a big fan of Grateful Dog Walkers… But the best thing about them is no longer there… Mackey Scanlan. Not only was Mackey, a consummate professional, he truly loved and cared for my pets, as though they were his own… And, he treated my home as though it were his own. Unfortunately that wasn’t something that wasn’t upheld by the rest of GrateDog Walkers in this area. I had serious issues with Liam SEVERAL times. I specifically told him that any new person needed to be introduced to myself and my husband, as well as our pets prior to coming into our home. This is something that we do with ALL contractors. It is an industry standard. It did not seem to be an issue when I discussed it with Liam… however, it was completely lost on him when on more than one occasion, he had somebody completely different, show up at our house at the wrong time whom we had never met! I called Liam, and I was assured that Mackey would be the person who would then come back. I actually had to contact Mackey directly to ensure that he would be there the first time this occurred. The second time this occurred, a new person showed up that I had never met, locked a cat who was on Prozac in our bedroom, who, then ripped up a bedroom carpet… Liam claimed that this was impossible, they would have never shut the door, but we were out… This is not some thing that Mackey, who was very familiar with our pets, very familiar with our home, and very familiar with our routine would have ever done. Trying to discuss the matter with Liam, he took absolutely no accountability, and actually put the blame back on me. I have had numerous issues with billing, I’ve had to reach out on more than one occasion because of it. It’s just all very haphazard and unprofessional. It’s really sad, because the place where I get my dogs groomed recommended Grateful Dog Walkers specifically because of Mackey, and I got them several new customers because of Mackey… We have all left now. What’s worse is, I had actually purchased a gift card for Mackey, and when he could not come to my home, Liam had stated he would come to my home and handle my pet for me. I agreed to that. Liam actually stated that he had picked up the gift card and was going to deliver it to his employee Mackey. I checked with him on three occasions after the last pet visit, he had no clue there was a gift card, no clue of the amount or where it was purchased to. Clearly, Liam kept the gift card for himself. I have no use for such unprofessional persons, the entitlement is beyond reproach. I have a second home, and a very large upscale community, I had very strongly recommended this group, and I am now very strongly recommending to all of my friends and neighbors not to use them until they replace Management here. Smarten up folks! You let an honest, hard worker who brought in clients go to keep someone who sleeps in, doesn’t return clients calls, and when they do, berates them and is insanely unprofessional. This is the absolute best example of the Peter principal that ever was! GO ELSEWHERE!! PS notice that it’s Mackey‘s name that is complimented on other reviews… Take the hint people! either clean up your act down here, or simply keep your flagship operation in the Baltimore area
We’ve been using Grateful Dog Walkers for a month now for our 10-month-old puppy. We have been very happy with the service as they show genuine interest and care for our dog. Most importantly our pup is happy and tired at the end of the day from all the activities. Photos of the dogs playing and having a good time are an assurance they are in good hands.
Have used Grateful Dog Walkers for over a year and our dogs love them!!! The scheduling is easy and if there is a question or problem, they are in touch right away. Love seeing the pictures of their walks and hearing how they were. Very reassuring to know they are in the BEST care when we have to leave them. Thank you Grateful Dog Walkers!🐶🐶💕💕
I have 2 dogs and both love Grateful Dog Walkers. It is super easy to schedule services and they are quick on any requests or questions. They are punctual and respectful of my home. The dogs get a great walk and I get pictures of their fun. We highly recommend Grateful Dog Walkers!
We have had 2 good experiences with Grateful Dog Walkers. Our dog Milo has been happy and tired when he returned. Mackey was always on time and Milo was always happy to see him!
My dog is terrified of people and I have had a hard time finding daycare or boarding. My dog Fennigan loves going with Mackey and Liam with Grateful Dog Walkers. I am so relieved to have someone care for my Fennigan and know that I don't need to worry. I have even seen a difference with his nervous behavior. Thank you Grateful Dog Walkers!
I have had such a wonderful experience with absolutely everyone in this office. They are so attentive, kind, and truly care about your pet. I had to call several times for various reasons in just the first few weeks of working with them - they answer the phone right away, they are always so willing to help, listen to your needs, are efficient in emailing receipts/records... you name it. The costs are very fair and I've never felt as though unnecessary care/expenses are pushed on me/my dog. Can't recommend them enough.
I wouldn't take my boy to anyone other than Dr. D!! He is absolutely wonderful along with his great staff! Especially Terri! She is very passionate and caring and always gets us in when needed. I would HIGHLY recommend Fork Vet!
Kevin and his entire staff are absolutely the best. Looking forward to having him as my vet for a long time. Thanks guys!!
Fork Animal Hospital completely blew me away today! From the phone conversation (with Terri) booking my appt all the way to the end when I paid my bill! Everyone I encountered was friendly, concerned and amazing towards my little guy and I. I won’t be using anyone else moving forward. This establishment is a prime example of how all veterinarian offices should operate. Dr. Kevin, thank you for providing a place for our fur babies to be seen. You make a difference in this world for those who can’t speak. The owners also thank you for not robbing our wallets! Much Respect One happy fur mamma P.S. This place is concerned about the animal and not the dollar amount on the invoice! Can’t find that often these days! Won my business today!
Amazing Vet with caring, professional and sympathetic staff. Highly recommend Doctor D and his staff.
Dr. Doherty is an amazing Veterinarian! All of our dogs past and present have been patients at Fork Vet. Takes his time and does amazing work as a Vet and a person! Thankful all the hard work he does. Great surgeon! Our newest addition just had surgery to spay her and she is acting like nothing ever happened. Just keeping her calm as a lab always wants to play ball. One more week of restriction but everything was perfect! Found a new solution to our anxious Shepherd mix with a different combination of meds and he has been doing amazing with the self destructive chewing and itching! Thank you Fork Vet and all personnel. Great staff too!
This Vet is by far the best out there! Dr. D's knowledge and professionalism is unmatched!
My fur babies have been coming here for 15+ years and I cannot say enough great things. From the best of times to the worst, they show so much compassion and make you feel so comfortable and heard. Dr D and the amazing team give great advice and care and will discuss options with you for the best and most humane treatment plans. You can tell they are all animal lovers and want the best for your fur baby.
The staff is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! Dr. D is the best vet ever. He doesn't rush you through the exam. He is patient and kind to everyone, but especially to the clients that have been around a while. The whole staff is very sympathetic when you lose a pet because they know that it was a family member who was lost, not just a pet.
My regular veterinarian is about 45 min away from my house. Since we moved to Kingsville Md about 6 years ago I have been trying to find someone closer. It's been unfortunate that they are not accepting new clients. I am not able to give a review
