Hi, I'm Demetrius! What can I say, I LOVE DOGS...I mean I love all animals but dogs are just the top! I've had dogs my entire life, from little fluffy white dogs to muscle bound pit-bulls. My most recent, an English Bulldog named Hollywood, unfortunately passed after 11 amazing years and I'm without a pooch for the moment. I hope you allow me the pleasure of taking care of your important family member while you are at work or away and I will treat him or her as if they were my own!

Columbia offers a safe environment with high-quality education, recreation, and work perspectives. Columbia is also very welcoming for pets and even has its own equestrian center.

The scenic natural surroundings make Columbia, Maryland, more than just a place to drink, eat and sleep. Columbia is close to a total of three lakes (Lake Kittamaqundi, Lake Elkhorn, and Wilde Lake) and a sizeable amount of park land for jogging, biking and, of course, walking the dogs.

Columbia, Maryland, is also home to Columbia DogPark, the first and only off-leash dog park that is completely fenced. The park is operated by the Columbia Association and provides 2.7 acres for dogs to explore and run around. The park is divided in two areas - one for small dogs and one for large dogs. Each area comes fully equipped with benches, water fountains and locations to dispose of waste.
