A few months ago, our dog, Alfie, became what we called, Facebook famous, after his door dashing…read morehabit resulted in his photo being plastered over all the Baltimore neighbor groups. After his last great escape, I realized that he needed some exercise to break up the monotony of his day. I emailed Andy and he was kind enough to come out that day and meet Alfie (and us, the humans in Alfie's life.) Andy started coming the next day to run with Alfie and wear him out until we get home. It's only been a few weeks but so far, so good. Andy is a pleasure to deal with. He's communicative and great with both people and animals. We really can't thank him enough for everything he's done for us and for Alfie.

We went on vacation for Memorial Day, as promised, and once again asked Dan to stop by and take…read morecare of Miss Kitteh. As always, he did a fabulous job - she was fed, entertained, and treated like the Royal Highness that she is. I had written some detailed instructions this time because of certain changes that had occurred since their last visit, and everything went smoothly and exactly as planned. To top it off, Dan actually let me know that I had overpaid them and said that he would credit my account for a future vacation - now that, my friends, is honesty. As far as I'm concerned, they can keep that money as a tip, because they surely deserve it. I am so glad that I selected Dog Day Afternoon as my pet sitting provider. As you can see by the other reviews, they're unmatched in both care and customer service.

I even set him up him a large patch of grass out there. He's just not getting it. In comes Lori. She walks several dogs in the community that I live in and comes highly recommended. She's been a lifesaver for Toby! He has used the porch potty on a few occasions but he's not consistent. He'll hold it, but I feel bad making him wait all day. Lori is great with dogs. She'll come and walk Toby and send me pictures telling me how their visit went. If you need a dog walker, Lori is your gal! She's the dog whisperer.

Lori knows who Kacy's friends are in the building so sometimes she will walk them together, and they love it! It tires them out and they have fun. I always leave a frozen Kong with peanut butter for Kacy, and Lori never forgets to give it to her before she leaves. When Kacy is sick or not feeling good, Lori will check on her and update me with how she is doing. When I'm running late from work or something comes up during a work day, Lori will come walk Kacy. Kacy loves her so much!! I would recommend Lori to anyone who has a dog. She is so sweet and plays with the dogs, and is very attentive.

Luv My Pet is beyond the best! They have walked our dog Emilie for over four years and counting,…read moreand we recommend them to everyone. They are super responsible and have a great team, so we know a walk will never be cancelled. Even if our normal dog walker cannot make it, they schedule someone else, so we never have to worry that our dog will get walked! We can schedule, pay, change, and leave notes in the app, so it's super convenient as busy young professionals and new parents. Most importantly, their team is so caring. Luv My Pet has supported our senior dog through so many challenges - helping us to observe when she has had health issues of all varieties, offering encouragement and tips, and more. We cannot recommend Jeff and the team at Luv My Pet (especially our pup's bff and dogwalker, Hillary!) enough!

I love how flexible they are, because my schedule is always changing and last-minute. Courtney at Bolton Buddies has dealt with a lot of strange mishaps with grace (broken door locks, scared cat getting stuck behind something in the utility closet, etc.). She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is OK at my house while I'm away. I am REALLY happy I found this company.

We worked with Tom to prepare our dog for some major life changes, and the experience was beyond…read morewhat we hoped for. From leash skills to preparing for a new baby, he addressed every concern with patience, expertise, and real results. Our dog had a strong prey drive and would lunge at squirrels, birds--basically anything that moved. Walks were stressful and chaotic. After working with Tom, we now enjoy calmer, controlled walks, and continue to work in high-distraction areas. Obedience was another focus--commands like "come," "place," and especially "down" have become reliable, and working still in challenging situations. Tom really emphasized consistency and practice for best results, which helped a lot! Overall, Tom gave us the tools and confidence we needed to help our dog thrive in a changing household. He clearly loves dogs, but just as importantly, he knows how to teach humans. If you're looking for help with obedience, leash manners, behavioral quirks, or preparing for a baby, Tom is absolutely worth it.
