The mother-daughter multi-state business is not only a great venture to support, they are an outstanding service every pet owner should know about. What they offer is reliable and trustworthy loving care of your pet(s) backed with utter professionalism; prompt return calls, thoroughness explaining every detail about their policies, they're fully insured, bonded, trained and so friendly. My 3-month old puppy had a blast with Lauren; she equally showed love and affection to him. My husband and I were nervous to have to leave our pup home but upon meeting Lauren and her back-up sitter, we felt so comfortable and at ease. I am so relieved I found The Pet Nanny and really hope the next time I need a dogsitter or walker that they will be available for us! I can't say enough great things about them.....

I had high hopes for Parkwood Pet Resort because it is new, conveniently located in Pikesville, and…read moremuch closer to me. I live in Owings Mills and normally drive to Downtown Dog Resort in Locust Point with my 70-pound, fawn-colored Lab/Pit mix, Buffy. I thought I'd try somewhere closer for a weekend boarding stay. Lesson learned: convenience isn't everything. I went to Parkwood on Thursday for a tour, Buffy's temperament test, and to pay the deposit for her Friday and Saturday stay. The young woman at the front desk was wonderful. She greeted Buffy warmly, gave her nose kisses, gave us a tour, and then took Buffy back for her temperament test. About five minutes later, she returned and told me everything went fine and that Buffy was a sweet dog. I left feeling very good about the facility. Then Friday happened. A different employee, Elizabeth, was working. The atmosphere immediately felt different. She didn't warmly greet me or Buffy. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt--it was Friday, after all. As we went through Buffy's food, I also had treats for her. Elizabeth told me they could only feed dogs during scheduled feeding times. I explained these weren't a meal, just treats, but I accepted that they had their rules. Buffy is trained and wears a correction collar. I was then told she could not wear it there and that I would either have to drive home for a different collar or purchase one from them. At this point, I was starting to wonder if they really wanted Buffy there, but I tried not to read too much into it. Then another dog, whom I'll call "P," arrived. P and Buffy barked at each other. To me, this was normal excited dog behavior. P's owner didn't seem concerned and even stopped to pet Buffy. Elizabeth, however, reacted as though Buffy had done something seriously wrong. She then brought out her own small dog to see how Buffy would react. Buffy simply sniffed and walked around her. The small dog began barking at Buffy, and Elizabeth said, "Oh, she's just setting boundaries." That was interesting to me. When her dog barked, it was "setting boundaries," but when Buffy barked, it seemed to be a problem. Elizabeth then took Buffy to the back with larger dogs. Again, Buffy and another dog walked around each other and barked. Elizabeth immediately brought Buffy back out and told me maybe she was just excited that day, but they couldn't have her there. She offered a refund and suggested I try their West Baltimore location instead. If Buffy's temperament was genuinely unsuitable for Parkwood, I can respect their decision. What I couldn't understand was why she passed the temperament test the day before, why I was told she was a sweet dog, and then suddenly wasn't welcome the next morning. And if her behavior was truly the issue, suggesting another location within the same company didn't make much sense to me. I asked for my refund and left. I was told it would take 3-5 days. As I was leaving, I saw other dogs arriving who were also barking and getting excited. Dogs bark. Dogs get excited. That's normal. What bothered me was the apparent difference in how that behavior was interpreted when it came from Buffy. At first, I thought perhaps I had simply encountered a staff member who wasn't a good fit for us. I later learned Elizabeth is the owner, which honestly changed my perspective. I'm simply sharing my experience as a paying customer and dog owner. I also tried to share this on Google, but reviews are currently disabled. Interesting. Buffy has been boarded and trained at Downtown Dog Resort in Locust Point for about two years. They know her, work with her, treat her like family, and she gets excited before we even get off the 95 exit because she knows where she's going. She boards frequently, swims there, and always comes home happy, clean, and exhausted. I made the mistake of thinking a newer, closer facility would be worth trying. It wasn't. Not every dog daycare and boarding facility is created equal. I learned that lesson the hard way. So, consider this my apology to Downtown Dog Resort for ever thinking I could find the same level of care simply by going somewhere closer. If you want a place that genuinely knows your dog, treats them like family, and makes them excited to walk through the door, I personally recommend Downtown Dog Resort in Locust Point. Buffy and I will happily make the drive.

My experience with Maggie and Peach Paws was amazing! My 4-year old shihtzu is reactive and can be…read morequite temperamental during grooming sessions. You can tell Maggie has experience with dogs of all temperaments because she handled him wonderfully! Her calm demeanor and reassuring attitude before his first groom put me at ease, and she was more than willing to address any questions I had. The groom he received was one of the best he's ever had! And she groomed him so quickly which is helpful given his anxiety (and mine LOL) around grooming. After the groom, Maggie was very communicative with me. Despite Winston being his sassy self, she was completely non-judgmental and said she would definitely groom him again, which made me feel relieved as an owner. Mobile grooming with Maggie was a total game-changer, and I 100% plan to continue using her as Winston's sole groomer moving forward! Thank you, Maggie!!!

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.

Not using her to groom my dog ever again. First, she cut the top of my dogs head weird and gave her…read morean uneven haircut. Second, when I smell her she doesn't smell like shampoo or anything pleasant at all. In fact, she smelled like cigarettes and I KNOW FOR A FACT it didn't come from my place because I despise smoking. Third, she hooked herself up to my house and used my electricity instead of a generator and charged me full price for it when she was using MY electricity AND without permission. Fourth, something must've happened during the grooming session because I see my dogs fur everywhere outside my house. Was she shaving my dogs fur outside the truck? If so, why? They normally do it inside the truck. She also did not clean up after herself very well and left me a mess to clean up so my second dog (a 3 month husky) does not come by and eat it up. Fifth, before I scheduled the appointment with her I asked for the pricing. She told me it would be $50. After the grooming is complete she charged me $60. Lastly, she hurt my dog to the point where she was bleeding under her arm and she didn't even bring this to my attention!! There is now a scab the size of a quarter under my dogs arm. I uploaded a photo. I'm very displeased with this service and I'm NEVER going back nor will I ever recommend her to someone else. DONT MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

There aren't enough great things I can say about Daly Pet Care; since I began using them 2+ years…read moreago, they have been simply wonderful. At the time they started, we had two dogs, one of whom was elderly and needed extra TLC. Not only did Tim, our walker at the time, provide that, one time when I was traveling for business, our Daisy got out, and even though it wasn't his day to walk her, when Tim saw her, he immediately stopped what he was doing, let her back in, and texted me to let me know. After Tim left Daly, our current walker Julie started, and the high quality of care continued. As our Daisy's health began to fail, Shelly and Julie were solicitous and caring, and when Daisy crossed over, left us a card and watched out for our younger dog, Camden, while he mourned his big sister. Camden loves Julie SO much that he gets excited when he hears her car pull up, and is a giant smiling wiggleworm of a pup when he sees her. In short, I LOVE Daly!

I know that every day someone will be there around 1pm or so to get him out for a good 30 minute walk. I come home every afternoon to a happy dog and a note letting me know of any adventures (or misadventures) during their visit. They sometimes text me a photo of his escapades while they have him out. Totally reliable and they LOVE dogs (or at least MY dog). I can wholeheartedly recommend them for your pet walking/sitting needs.
