Happy Dog

We were absolutely elated to find Happy Dog after moving to Baltimore from Chicago. Our dog does not like other dogs and therefore must be walked by herself. Paige took the time to stop by and meet our dog before her first walk and learned all of her little quirks (she could pull an offensive lineman over to get to a squirrel). Everyone at Happy Dog is friendly and punctual. I always knew our dog was in good hands and never worried about her for a moment. We often utilized the pet sitting option (3 visits per day) and it was a great alternative to boarding where she would have to be in a cage due to her aggressive nature with other dogs.
We even tried to throw Happy Dog a curve ball when we randomly decided to adopt a cat. They didn’t even blink. We always came home to a «happy dog» and happy cat!
I highly recommend Happy Dog for any dog walking/​pet sitting services. You can tell everyone on the Happy Dog team loves what they do and they all truly care for each of their clients.

Happy Dog has been the best thing that has happened to me since moving to Baltimore. I’m currently in grad school at UMB so I have a crazy schedule that changes from time to time and Happy Dog has always been quick to respond to my requests and help me out with my pup last minute when needed. When I’m at my internship and can’t be home for over 8 hours it’s been comforting knowing that my dog gets to go out and get some extra attention when I can’t be there for her. I also love that they post pictures of my pup on their walk that I can see while I’m at work.
I plan on using Happy Dog as my dog walker service while I’m living in Baltimore and will recommend them to anymore who needs some extra help with their pets!

We can’t say enough good things about Happy Dog. They’re extremely professional and punctual, in addition to being very modern — you can reserve online, pay online, and they send you photos of your dog on the walk immediately afterwards. Also, you know exactly who is going to walk your dog — you’ll meet them beforehand and they never send in someone else before checking with you.
Most importantly, they take a very tailored approach to their dog walking — we have a pup who because of an earlier bad experience with a dog walker was very fearful and nervous about strangers in the apartment. Happy Dog showed incredible patience working with our dog to build his confidence and comfort. They take the time to communicate with us in real-​time regarding anything they notice about our pup, so it really is the next best thing to being home.

On their most recent visit, the pet sitter re-​attached the lid to my cat’s litter box such that the opening was up against a corner and the closed end towards where my cat would normally crawl in. Since my cat couldn’t get into the litter box, I came home to a mess. Time to find a new pet sitter.

Katie and Michael — my dogs’ primary caretakers — are truly amazing. I love that HD is fully licensed and bonded and that they took the time to get to know me and my dogs to make their interactions more productive. Also, what I really love is the HD journal that allows me to see photos in near real-​time of their walk, having their treats and chasing squirrels :) I have used HD for weekly day-​time walks and overnight sitting and I’ve never worried about my boys (2 dogs, 8 and 12) — ever — and for me that’s unheard of.

Happy Dog has provided my husband and I with peace of mind when we are away or at work. They take care of our two Italian Greyhounds just as we would! This company is reliable and friendly. Their website makes it easy to schedule appts, see adorable pictures of your pets during their visit, and communicate with the owners. Couldn’t be happier with their service!

I am very picky when it comes to my dogs … and especially who takes care of them in my absence! After interviewing multiple dog sitters in Baltimore, we decided on Happy Dog after having our consultation and meeting Katie. My fiancé and I have 2 senior greyhounds and pit bull who have many needs and Happy Dog always does a wonderful job of taking care of them. I love the fact that pictures of the dogs are posted immediately after each visit. You also earn points for each dollar you spend which can be redeemed for free visits. Katie and the Happy Dog staff are so pleasant to work with and truly care about our dogs. We couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend Happy Dog!
