Let-outs and feeding
Let-outs and feeding while you're out
A bathroom break, a meal if your dog needs one, and a check-in on the schedule you set. $20 per instance, $25 with feeding.
The visit in the middle of a long day
A let-out is the short visit that breaks up a long day alone. Your dog goes outside, does their business, stretches their legs, and someone checks that all is well. For a dog home from morning until evening, that visit is the difference between a comfortable day and a long hold. A let-out is $20 per instance.
Puppies, seniors and dogs who cannot wait nine hours are the usual reasons people in Elkton call me. Liz Malin described me as “good with high energy puppies, senior dogs, and large dogs”, and “Reliable with schedule” is the line I work hardest to earn, because a let-out only helps if it happens when it was promised.

Feeding and medicine on the same visit
If your dog eats on a schedule, the feeding can be part of the same visit. A let-out and feeding is $25 per instance. Tell me what goes in the bowl and when, and a midday meal stops being something you rush home for.
If your pet needs medicine, it is $5 extra. Medicine is easiest when it is tied to a meal, which is one more reason to book the feeding visit. These prices are per instance, so what you pay follows the number of visits you book.
Caryn Lawton, one of my Google reviewers, wrote that I was “Always in communication and treated my pets like they were her own.” That is how I run a let-out: you hear from me, and your dog is treated the way I treat mine.
Setting up your first let-out
Call me at 443-406-6694 and tell me about your dog, the days you need covered and the times that suit. My hours are Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm. If those hours do not work, contact me and I will be willing to work something out.
I accept Visa, Master Card, American Express and Discover. Late payments carry a $20 charge per day, and there are No Refunds. A meet and greet is the first step for daycare and boarding, and you are welcome to ask for one before your dog starts with me.
