I was in Annapolis this past weekend for a wedding and my husband and I brought our beagle puppy…read morewith us. We stayed at the Loews Hotel and the hotel recommended Tim when I inquired about a dog walking service. I never met Tim and only spoke to him on the phone and exchanged emails and texts with him. However, my pup was happy and calm when we returned to the hotel room. The pup was calm in the way where he'd gotten a good bit of exercise. Tim left detailed notes about their hour long walks. I first spoke to Tim about a month ago when I made reservations for hour long walks for Friday and Saturday nights. He was enthusiastic and responsive from the moment I spoke to him. He immediately returns emails and phone calls. I was slightly apprehensive about leaving my pup with a stranger and letting that stranger into my hotel room but Loews had told me that they'd been working with Tim for at least a year. We made plans to meet prior to the first walk but we cancelled because my husband and I got a late start getting to Annapolis and couldn't make the original meeting time with Tim. I spoke to him that afternoon and he assured me that everything would be fine and the Loews staff knew him really well. Based on other conversations we'd had and emails we'd exchnaged - where Tim was always full of tips about dogs and loved to talk about his other dogs - I had a good hunch about him. So I went with my gut and just left a note at the hotel front desk authorizing him to enter my room and walk my dog. Both nights, I came back to a happy dog and a nice, detailed note from Tim - all for a reasonable price. I plan to ask Tim to care for my dog whenever we travel to Annapolis.

I had what started as a lovely interaction with this company when I spoke to the owner and…read moreexplained our familys need for a regular dog walker. We set up a preliminary meeting and I was directed to their website to fill out a comprehensive 5 page informational packet on my pets in preparation for the meeting. I spent about an hour filling out all pertinent information and the evening of our meeting nobody showed up! I called and left a message and nobody called me back. I called the next day in an attempt to reschedule - giving them the benefit of the doubt that perhaps it had been a mix up- and still nobody returned my call. I would recommend looking for a more reliable pet sitting company.
