Services
30, 45, or 60 minutes
Your dog walks alone with us, never in a pack. Fresh water and a quick check of food and doors before we leave. You hear how it went before we are out of the driveway: photos, a video if they did something worth seeing, and anything you should know.
15 to 60 minutes, up to four a day
Built around your routine: meals, medication, litter or yard time, mail and trash, lights, and unhurried attention. Book one visit a day or up to four, and a shorter potty break for regulars who live close by.
Overnight, 8 pm to 7 am
Your pets keep their own beds, bowls, and schedule. We handle dinner, the last walk, breakfast, and the small things that keep a house looking lived in. Need someone around during the day too? Add a midday visit at the regular rate.
Included
Your pet’s safety and wellbeing come first on every visit. The rest of this list is what we do while we are there anyway.
Meals on your schedule, bowls rinsed, water topped off before we leave.
Pills, drops, insulin, and supplements, given the way you showed us and logged in the visit note.
A real walk or a proper play session, matched to your pet's age and energy.
Whatever your dog leaves in the yard while they are out with us gets picked up and bagged.
Mail brought in, packages moved out of sight, cans to the curb and back on trash day. Free with any scheduled visit.
Pictures, video when they do something worth seeing, and a short note.
Add-ons
Quoted at the meet and greet or by text, and added to your invoice only when you ask for them.
Full yard cleanup. A complete poop scoop of the yard, not just what happened on our visit. Priced by yard size and how long it has been.
Mail and trash on its own. House checks while you travel with no pets at home, or a trash-day visit between pet bookings.
Extras
Saturday and Sunday visits are the regular rate. The extras below are added per visit and itemized on your invoice.
Our rates
Our rates are set to pay sitters properly under Maryland wage law, including drive time between visits and every hour of an overnight. That can put us a little above some prices you will see. It also means the person caring for your pets is fairly paid, insured, and not rushing to the next house.
Weddings
We handle your pet for the whole day, from the drive to the venue through the photos and the ride home, so you can enjoy it. One flat package, $495.
Free for clients
Food, treats, medications, toys, and gear get recalled more often than most owners hear about. Choptank Paws Recall Watch keeps a list of what your pet eats and uses and emails you when any of it shows up in a recall. It is free for clients, by invite code.
Good to know
Booking. New clients start with a free meet and greet. After that, book by text or through this site. Each visit is confirmed by text the day before.
Updates. Photos, videos, and a note after every visit. If you want more, or less, just say so.
Payment. Visits are paid in full when you book, which is how we hold your time. Regular weekly clients are billed a week ahead: each week’s invoice covers the following week’s visits. Pay by card or bank transfer from your invoice, or by Zelle, Venmo, or cash.
Changes. Need to move or cancel a visit? Use the manage a booking page or text (443) 867-7322. With 24 hours’ notice, a prepaid visit carries over to your next booking. With less notice, the visit is charged. Regulars who want a visit taken off the bill entirely, say for a week you will be home, just need to tell us before the week ahead is invoiced.
