The owner, Shannon, was very responsive at first. When I told her where I lived, she started backtracking and listing reasons why her employees wouldn't be able to reach my apartment. She then told me she couldn't even refer another sitting service. I've had cat sitters before. Interacting with Shannon was the strangest, most frustrating conversation I've ever had. She clearly did not want to take me or my cats on as a client for reasons unbeknownst to me. I was able to find a cat sitter through another service, thankfully. I cannot recommend C-Pup.

They always keep us posted (text msg and e-mailon how things are going with our fur babies. Also, for us what is very important is that they are a local business within University Park MD.

He has gone above and beyond, cleaning up some accidents that Kitty made, and even once putting her in her carrier backpack and going outside with her during a fire alarm in the building. I recommend Danny 100%

Their prices are incredibly fair, they are super reliable, go above and beyond for customer service, and keep our place super clean. I literally don't know how they could be better. They have made so many stressful moments better by stepping in to help us when we were in a bind. If you're looking for good pet sitters this is your place!!!

For example, she makes suggestions for how to improve their ability to walk on leash w/o pulling, and very graciously helped us out when we had a last minute need for someone to come over and feed the dogs for us when our son was born and we were in the hospital. I have had 3 dog walkers over the past 2 years and she is by far the best. I recommend her without hesitation.

He has always been on time, and left a note with what happened while he was there. My one dog is also pretty difficult and has some typical rescue issues. It took Steve two visits to completely win her over, and his work with her over the past year has definitely made an impact on her behavior. You can tell he is passionate about what he does. Again, I cannot recommend Steve and Takoma Pet enough!

Lauren and Dale took such great care of my cats when I was out of town! They tended to all the…read morecats' needs and went above and beyond in playing with them, giving them treats, and loving on them. My cats were probably sad when I came home since I'm sure I'm not as much fun as Lauren and Dale are! They also sent pictures and updates about the cats every day, and they were very organized about the administrative side of things too (like keeping careful notes on how much to feed the cats etc). If you want to know your animals are in good hands while you are away, I highly recommend Lauren and Dale.

I can't say enough about the excellent care my fur baby received while I was on travel.

Kat was reliable, efficient, and immediately struck up a trusting connection with our 'boys'. It was challenging work for her, because she had to administer an inhaler treatment twice a day to one of the cats, Marlow, despite not having known him before. She did an absolutely wonderful job. He was actually in better shape and coughing less, after we came home than before we left. Both cats looked happy and relaxed. The cat area was left clean and tidy. I will look no further next time we need cat care. We also loved the photos and updates we got each day....it helped us relax much better while away!

This beautiful, spirited pup was a handful, and he and I needed help... immediately! Lily from Happy Planet Petcare was recommended by people at my local dog park; I am so happy we found her. Lily uses positive, rewards-based training. My foster pups' particular needs were: pulling hard on walks, being constantly distracted, no recall, jumping on people out of excitement, being barky, and chewing whatever came near his mouth at home. Lily achieved drastic improvements on all fronts. As well as her professional accreditations and hands-on experience, she is currently pursuing a master's degree in animal behavior. That was one of the things that attracted me to her services, a passion rather than a job. Lily is articulate and explains behaviors, often from the dog's perspective, which is so helpful. Her goal was for me to have a fun relationship with my dogs. I feel confident about transferring what I learned to the other foster dogs I host. I highly recommend Lily and Happy Planet Petcare.
