What our clients say...
Client Testimonials:
Her small size play groups are great, too! The dogs get specialized attention in a controlled and enriched environment, and you can't beat the door-to-door service. Our dog comes home happy, tired and smarter! We are so happy we found Sandy! Liz and Chris, Oella
Our dog used to be sad when he saw us pack our bags but now he is very happy
because he gets to stay with Sandy. When he first sees Sandy my wife gets
a little jealous because he goes absolutely bonkers and (almost!) forgets all
about us. We sometimes think he may enjoy his vacation more than we do!
Jack, Columbia
It is apparent that Sandy loves what she is doing. Sandy has a big heart
because each dog has its' special place there. She truly loves and
respects each dog and that translates into each dog loving her back. Sandy
is now truly part of our family! Sharon, Columbia
In-Home Dog Care
You want the very best for your dog but the demands of
everyday life often make it difficult to give him everything he deserves. We
can help! Our In-Home Dog Care can provide wonderful walks, energy-burning
play sessions, or just companionship. Your dog gets the exercise and
attention he craves during the day and you can enjoy peace of mind.
The time we spend with your dog is truly customized care -
you decide if your dog will enjoy a casual stroll through the neighborhood,
an adventurous hike through the woods, some supervised “sniffing” time in
the backyard, play time with friends, or a heart-warming cuddle on the
couch. Senior dogs and dogs recovering from injuries or surgery may
just need some quiet companionship at home.
Our custom care is also a great value - we only charge $15
for the first fifteen minute visit and each additional 15 minutes costs just
$5! If you request three or more visits per day you get a 10%
discount.
To get the custom care your best friend deserves call us today at (410) 935-1190 or send an email to sandy@thatdoglady.com.
Play Groups
Monday through Friday we offer a number of different play groups. Play
groups consist of dogs (max of 6 per group) that are specifically matched by
play style, personality and ability. Small groups allow the dogs to
bond with us and each other so they are comfortable and relaxed while
playing and learning. Your dog will love playing with other compatible
dogs, doing some fun agility work, and learn basic obedience skills.
Each supervised play group is 2 hours long and costs just $35 (price includes
transportation for your dog to and from the session).
For more information about our unique play groups, call us today at (410) 935-1190 or send an email to sandy@thatdoglady.com.
Boarding
Boarding can often be a stressful time for both dog and owner. We offer a unique alternative! Dogs that regularly participate in our training, play group and dog care programs are eligible for boarding with us. Your dog can sleep on his own bed, enjoy his own toys, eat his regular food and relax in a quiet environment with all the comforts of home. He will love being part of our family and participating in all the daily activities. Boarding costs $45 per day and includes pick up and drop off from your home.
Please note that our boarding capacity is limited and requires reservations.
We are usually booked 4-6 weeks in advance so please call early for
reservations so you won't be disappointed. Boarding reservations
require a 50% deposit at the time the reservation is made. The balance
is due when your dog is picked up for boarding. Reservations cancelled
with less than 7 days notice are not eligible for a refund of the deposit.
Do you have a senior or special needs dog that needs to
stay at home? We also offer overnight in-your-home care so your dog
will have companionship and care in the comfort of his own home. For
in-your-home overnight care we arrive at approximately 7pm and leave around
6am each day. The rate for this wonderful individual care is $65
per night and includes feeding two meals and 2 fifteen minute walks.
Please note that overnight care is available on a first-come, first-served
basis and may not always be available. Please make your reservation
early so you won’t be disappointed!
