Alternative Pet Care MD LLC

TRUSTWORTHY business. Have been using this service for the last 14 years. They are dependable, reliable and available last minute. It was so difficult to find a pet care provider with a Veterinary background, so I feel blessed Muddy Creek Animal Hospital recommended Sandy, Kyle and team. They are not only First Aid Certified but possess a fluent medical understanding for prescribed medications and general health care. They even travel in inclement weather conditions like mentioned in the one star review six years ago. That day they didn’t charge anyone and provided potty breaks to be able to get to everyone timely. Department of Transportation declared only emergency personnel travel the roadways, APC came to my aid anyway when we couldn’t make it home. I don’t know of any service that would risk their life to be available to their clients, we all thank you ever so much!! This VALUABLE business is truly a god send for those looking for this type of personalized care. I am forever grateful, my pets love them and so will you. more

TRUSTWORTHY business. I feel blessed to have found such a wonderful, loyal, friendly service for the last 14 years." They take such great care of my pets while I am gone. I recommend this service routinely to my friends, family and colleagues. They care for not only my pets but for those most desperate animals using excellence as their standard and love as their guide. They give every moment of everyday of themselves in unimaginable ways. I have not met anyone who so selflessly gives and makes sacrifices of the heart, soul, pocketbook and time to provide such a wonderful service. Additionally, I read the 1 star review from 6 years ago. Clearly they took advantage of these kind people. They traveled in treacherous weather conditions at no charge to help their pet. You cannot find a company that is willing to make that kind of sacrifice when Department of Transportation declared a weather emergency... more

VERY happy to have found Cindy/Alternative Pet Care Md. I am a freak about my dogs, and was so hesitant to leave them in someone's care. Referred by our Veterinarian, and so grateful. Very prompt, attentive, and thorough! Not only did she provide good care for our dogs, but she went above our expectations! more

What a professional, reliable, trustworthy service. Can't say enough great things about this company! We appreciate the level of care we receive every visit. They are available no matter when (rain/snow/heatwave/hurricane/tornado/blizzard), not many companies are that steadfast. They're follow-up is impeccable, flexibility is divine and they're superior to these other Pet Care Companies. We have tried many and are impressed with the level of service we receive everytime! We have been using this service for the last 8 years and recommend them highly! Would have to question the source of any poor review for this company... more

We used this service for 6 months for mid-day dog walks & play. Each day Sandy left a note describing the visit. We learned that the notes are written before the visit, because they were always signed by Sandy, but her husband was actually doing the visit. One note said "had a great visit and walk too!!" However, I was home then and discovered what that actually meant.... Our dog was let out to relieve himself for 2 minutes (in the unfenced backyard) while the husband stayed inside. Then our dog's leash and collar were placed next to his crate (to emphasize the great "walk" that never happened?). The visit lasted 3 minutes. It was horrible to realize they were taking advantage of our trust and our dog's inability to let us know he wasn't getting walks. We fired them immediately. more

When we purchased a Boerboel puppy and needed day care, we were looking at pet taxi's and doggie day care centers. Coordinating our early morning departure and often delayed commutes home was going to be costly and stressful. When I made a call to APC, Sandy saved the day. She picks our puppy up from home, has her for the day and returns her just before we arrive home. We can let her know if we will be delayed or even if we come home early.She even gives our 2 yr old dog a bathroom break. Always understanding and so accommodating. No stress for us and has saved us enough money to start the puppy in obedience school. Her medical knowledge is very reassuring and we have regular conversations regarding the puppy's progress. There is no greater feeling than knowing your pet,companion, best frined or show dog is under the supervision of a loving and caring person. We will keep her number handy for our vacation schedule and unexpected trips also. Our 2 dogs and our parrot will never be left alone with APC just a phone call away. Thank you Sandy.
