When last week's storm blew down 10 panels of stockade fence, Dawn and her son helped put them back up while I was at work so that my dogs could have their yard back! Another example of Dawn's amazing customer service: 2 weeks ago she picked up 2 dogs from the scene of a car accident when the owner (her client) got into an accident. If that isn't someone you would want to let in your home and take care of your fur children....who is? I've recommended her to two of my neighbors when they needed an overnight sitter and both were very happy with the level of care she provided for their dog and cat.

Rachel of Broad Run Pet Care caused our family unnecessary emotional and financial distress while…read morewe were 800 miles away on vacation, feel compelled to warn others of our service experience. Owner Rachel sent us an email as soon as we arrived at the vacation rental alerting us to a violent fight between 2 of our 3 dogs (see my profile pic), and immediately gave us notice she was terminating her service due to "personal fear of harm or professional liability" not clear of exact reason. She did give us limited options to take our large Cane Corso 7 month old puppy to a kennel or call our emergency contact to care for all dogs. She then pressured us to make a decision with 30 mins not giving us reasonable time to sort out a backup plan. I gave her final instructions to leave by first please secure our dogs in separate bedrooms with plenty of food and water realizing it would likely be at least 24 to 48 hours before any backup home dog care service could be found. My wife and daughter were very distraught to the point of ready to cancel vacation and return home the next morning, forfeiting a full beach house rent fee. Regarding the fight, not that urgent because we could tell from pics it was nothing more than we'd experienced with only minor injury to the smaller Boston Terrier. We were aware the two dogs were not always getting along and gave Rachel specific instructions how to prevent confrontations and handle it should a fight occur. For safety of all during her initial interview, I even demonstrated how to pull larger puppy away by hind legs or use blanket. She did not follow instructions nor did she use best professional protocol for breaking up the dog fight. This termination notice all occurred 8:00 PM on Sat and I was very lucky on such short notice to find another local replacement sitter called "Make My Day Please, LLC". This new company's owners are 110% faithful dog lovers who fully understood our urgent situation with us being 800 miles from home and stepped up to fully care for our dogs until we returned, absolute true professionals. Due to not having been introduced to our dogs in advance, MMDP approached them especially our larger Cane Corso puppy with slow caution then understood she showed no aggressive behavior and just keep her separate from the Boston she'd fought with, all was well only received glowing daily reports until we returned.

Rachel came over and met our baby girl & got the 411 as to where the key was hidden how much food to give her, fill out forms & discuss times-we only had her come once a day but she could have come twice-etc. She was very professional and conscientious & I could tell that she would be great with our girl. SHE WAS EXCELLENT!! She sent us texts with pictures of her giving our girl love & attention or just an update every day! She also left a VERY detailed daily log which was wonderful to come home to. Rachel also took in our mail, pulled in our trash can after the trash was taken, and watered our plants. I could tell just by petting my cat that she had taken good care of her by the feel of her fur! AND she is super responsive-I tacked on another day at the last minute. AND she is inexpensive & organized yet flexible. It was such a relief to have such a great experience with a complete stranger. THANKS, RACHEL!!!!

I first heard of At Home Cat Care through my boss, a longtime customer who assured me that Ann was the best pet sitter in town...and he was right! She's extremely reliable, caring, and dedicated to providing a great experience for her customers. In addition to not charging for her initial home visit (which is extremely rare around here), Ann offered to come over again before I left to review the routine, free of charge. Her dedication and willingness to go above and beyond before I even left town made me feel so comfortable leaving my cats in her care. After I left, Ann called every day to check in and left detailed notes about each visit. When my kitties ran out of litter while I was away, she even went out of her way to bring them a fresh box! I've never had a better experience with a pet sitter and couldn't imagine having anyone else look after my kitties. Ann really is a treasure!

The only reason e stopped service was because we relocated to New York City. I was a new dog owner, and initially wasn't giving my chi a potty break midday. With DC traffic this became increasingly stressful because I couldn't predict when I'd be home and didn't want her holding her bladder all day! After talking to a lot of walkers, I met Jennifer and the rest is history. Jennifer came over, met P, and talked to me generally about dog ownership & her services. Jennifer is super knowledgeable and a compassionate person for people and animals - this was so helpful because it put me at ease with giving someone access to my house & my new puppy!! Jennifer assigned us Jimmy as a walker - and that was P's BFF from that day forward. Jimmy is such a good human, would txt me updates, if needed, and treated Princess ...like a literal Princess! He was always on time, always communicative, and if the rate case he couldn't cover a walk, Jennifer took her out! They even convinced my little chi to potty in the rain & snow (something I struggle with to this day). Eventually some route changes kicked in and Isa was our walker. Isa was so sweet as well, and helped me fit P in a proper harness (which is tough for the little ones) in addition to being prompt & communicative! Additionally Jennifer sends consistent updates to clients through the portal, it's flexible with scheduling, and send a super cute newsletter with helpful information - esp for first time dog owners. Overall, Run and Play is the best pet care service in southern Maryland area! We were so sad to leave such good people and I highly believe trusting Jennifer with your fur babies is a great choice. 10/10 would recommend!
