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.

We were in a really tight spot - we were scheduled to go to Italy for a week, and one of our cats…read morehad just gotten quite ill and would need medication twice daily, which we felt would be too much to ask of a friend to try to administer. We got Stephanie's contact info from our vet, for whom she worked before starting her business. She got right back to me on the same day and asked to come over and meet the cats and get to know the layout of our apartment, which put me very much at ease. She recognizes that every pet is different, and it's important to get to know them and learn about them from their owners before trying to take care of them. She was also very respectful of our cats' behavior and didn't try to pressure them into interacting, and was familiar enough with the medications she'd be administering to recognize when it would be better to skip a dose than to freak out our sick cat further. By the end of the week, he was feeling MUCH better and had even come out for playtime, and our shyer cat - who comes out for almost nobody except us - had come out to visit and play as well! I can say all of this because she left us detailed, twice-daily notes as to her visits, and responded to texts as well (even with a six-hour time difference). When we got back, they were both bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and happy to see us, which tells me that they were glad to have her around. If we go out of town for a similar length of time (or even shorter, potentially), we will absolutely be asking Stephanie to take care of them again. Her pricing structure was also very reasonable (especially for the care we needed), and she broke down each and every cost for us before we signed the contract. I would absolutely recommend her to any and all anxious pet parents who are leaving town, or even if you just need somebody who's great with animals to look in on your furry friends and make sure they're fed and watered and happy. Stephanie was fantastic!

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.

We have 2 dogs, 1 of whom is dog aggressive, and they have taken special and loving care of both.

Our dogs love them, and we knew they were always in good hands. PP is trustworthy, very reasonably priced, and accommodating. We will have a hard time replacing them in our new city.

This company truly cares about not only giving great service, but also treating your pet as Iif it was their own. I recently had to do a lot of urgent last minute traveling, and was worried i would have to board my puppy who has terrible separation anxiety,and has had previous bad experiences while being boarded, but thanks to Prancing Pooches I was able to take advantage of the pet sitting services and keep my little puppy happy. It made me feel so good that I could take care of life's curve balls without having to worry about the safety of my dog. Aside from the fact that she has pet sat for me multiple times, she had the most accommodating walker I have ever used. I have a job that requires me to work days, nights, and weekends Prancing Pooches has been available to take care of my puppy every time I could not be there. My coworker also uses Prancing Pooches services because of this reason. We always know what happened while we were not there since Pracing Pooches walkers leave us report cards telling us exactly what happened. The walkers have taken care of my puppy when he was sick, as well as gave him medicine for me. Also i would get photos of my dog texted to me while he was on his walks which really brightened my day. I truly do not know what I would have done so far without this service, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants the best care for their dog when they cannot be around.
