Daycare details
Pet Sitting, Boarding, Doggie Daycare · Elkton, MD
Walks, daycare and boarding at my home in Elkton, because a tired pet is a good pet.
I'm Preddy. Pet sitting, let-outs and doggie daycare at my home, and boarding when you go on vacation and can't take your dog with you.
Four ways I can look after your dog
Everything happens at my home on Locharron Drive or at yours. Every daycare and boarding dog starts with a meet and greet, so your dog has seen the house, met my dogs and met me before the first stay.
Home boardingGoing on vacation and can't take your dog with you? Boarding is at my home, all inclusive, with my own dogs for company. Book a month ahead.Boarding
Dog walking & pet sittingWalks and pet sitting for dogs whose people are at work or away. I walk my own dog seven days a week, sometimes twice a day, so the walk never gets skipped.Walking
Let-outs & feedingA let-out, or a let-out and a meal, at your house while you are out, with medicine given if your pet needs it.Let-outs
A weekday at my house
The day runs on a dog's clock.
Daycare dogs arrive from seven, walk, spend time outside and go home by six. Boarding dogs stay right through the weekend. The hour that matters most in this house has always been four o'clock.

Reviews from dog owners
“Amazing, compassionate and 100% trustworthy. Always in communication and treated my pets like they were her own.”
“We have enjoyed our time with Healthy Pooches. We are first time dog owners of a bernerdoodle named Tilly. Tilly is a sweet and energetic dog who needs lots of love and attention. We can't thank Healthy Pooches enough for all the care and attention they have given Tilly. Not only does Tilly get daily walks, but she has the joy of socializing with other dogs. Healthy Pooches not only makes the dogs feel welcomed, but also makes the owners feel at ease with leaving their dogs in their care. We highly recommend using Healthy Pooches for your dog's needs.”
“I highly recommend Preddy As a pet sitter and Dog Walker. She is very professional and skillful and is also flexible in order to please her clients. My dog absolutely loves her. I have seen her almost daily as she walks other pets and has an equal rapport With the other animals. She maintains control. She takes time with them and talks to them and they seem to be exceedingly happy to be in her care. She’s also a wonderful person.”
“I have always had a great experience with Healthy Pooches. The owner Preddy, creates a comfortable second home environment for your pooch. Healthy Pooches routinely serves as Murphy’s home away from home.”
“Reliable with schedule, fair pricing, good with high energy puppies, senior dogs, and large dogs. Walked our Shepard mix and did overnight care for us for over a year.”
Doggie daycare, Monday to Friday
What a daycare day is made of
No runs and no cages. Daycare happens at my home, on the grass and on the couch, with my own dogs in the house.
Duchess and Ruby
It started with two greyhounds who loved a walk.
“They both loved to be walked so much, It inspired me to have my own dog business.”
Duchess came to Preddy at 3 years old and was the best dog she ever had. Ruby, another greyhound, came two years later and did everything Duchess did, right down to letting Preddy know when it was time to brush her teeth.

Before the first stay
The house rules, plainly.
Shots, notice, payment and the 5th free day. The full list lives on the pricing page.
Yes. Meet and Greets are required before boarding and doggie daycare. It is the time for your dog to see my home and my own dogs, and for us to talk through feeding, walks and anything else your dog needs.
All dogs must be up to date with shots, tags, Heart guard, flea and tick prevention, and be spayed or neutered. The required vaccines are DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies and Lepto, and I need updated shot records from your vet before the first stay. Dogs that are not up to date will be declined Doggie Daycare and Boarding.
I need a month in advance notice for boarding. Boarding is at my home, $35 per day per dog, all inclusive. I do have my own dogs.
