“Stephanie was amazing! Very professional, communicated well, and was overall very attentive with our boys. Our AC went out halfway through the week, and she helped us troubleshoot the problem from 3 states away. She also made sure to check on the cats and make sure the house wasn’t too hot without the AC. Overall, we had a great experience and we plan to book with her again for our next trips as well!!”
“I am so glad I chose her. She gave me wonderful updates with pictures of my kitties and put my mind at ease. When I came home everything was clean and in order. So thank you sooo much Janis. I will definitely use you again.”
“This is our second time using Kelli to care for our kitties while we were away on vacation. Just like the first time she did an amazing job. She took great care of both of our cats. Gave them pets, snuggles and treats. Our newest cat Harvey who is a bit shy took to Kelli right away. I think the first day he was full on snuggling her. Both of my cats have liked Kelli from their first meeting. Animals can tell when a person is good and Kelli has a heart of gold. She's not just great with our kitties. She took so many photos and gave great updates each day. As long as Kelli is still pet sitting when we do any future trips, she'll be our go to sitter. Seriously could not ask for anyone better to care for your animals. Thank you, Kelli. We truly appreciate you!”
“We could not be happier with our experience with Shannan! She went above and beyond to care for our cat while we were away. Shannan accepted our booking within a week of our trip and we really appreciate her flexibility. She sent us updates everyday with photos and let us know how she was doing. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our cat made us feel at ease. We knew our cat would be in good hands within minutes of meeting Shannan. Super lucky to have found her!”
“Angela took great care of my kitty. Winnie is very shy and slow to warm up to strangers, but Angela was able to get her to interact and engage. She sent daily updates and lots of photos. I will be booking her again, and I would highly recommend her!”
“Claire is very patient and takes great care of our cats. She did all we asked for and exceeds beyond, she not only helped cleaned our cat’s mess, but also sent very detailed description of our cats and took a bunch of photos. She’s very caring and we really appreciate her help!”
About: I grew up fostering animals from the Humane Society of Harford County, caring for animals with the range of young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. And, yes, I’ve “foster-failed” a few times, and have multiple cats and dogs of my own. A house isn’t a home without a fur baby. I am a middle-school teacher who currently has full availability now that summer vacation has begun. I’d love to fill my time off by caring for your four-legged friends! Fostering animals with a variety of backgrounds, training levels, capabilities, etc., has given me a lot of experience with creating a safe and happy environment.
“She was so good with our two cats, on time every day and followed our instructions. It's nice to be able to leave town and know your pets will be well cared for. We will definitely use her again.”
“Ashley was a wonderful sitter! She tried to give Nunu her antibiotics, but unfortunately, Nunu wouldn't cooperate 😭 But nevertheless, Ashley kept trying and was very responsive on her attempts!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Emily’s services while we were away! She was incredibly punctual, kept us updated with great photos of both of our cats (even Cleo, who hides), and took the time to really engage with them during her visits. Emily also took account of all of our cats needs, play limitations, and dietary/health concerns. Overall, Emily was the perfect sitter for us. We will definitely be using her as our sitter moving forward! Thanks, Emily!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have trained them to be hunting dogs and overall good boys. On top of that, I have raised and fostered different kitten litters and cats. I have patience and an overwhelming appreciation for animals of all kinds. I would love to get to know your good boy or girl I have very flexible hours during the summer months since I am a teacher. I am available after school during the school year and on weekends. I provide a safe space for cats and dogs. I have a lot of respect for my animals and animals in general. They are the most pure things in this world and I try to reciprocate love and appreciation to them.
About: I have taken care of my Diva girl for 16 years! 6 years ago I got my second dog Reid and a year later my cat Siggy. My pets are my life and when I’m not home I know someone is there with them keeping them company. I would love to provide that for other pet owners- whether it’s walking, hanging out, staying over, etc! I currently am on my own schedule so I have all the time in the world to take care of your animals!! I would love to meet some new four legged friends! Whatever you need I’m there- at your house ! I have 3 animals of my own and one is very old! But I am very trustworthy and will love your pets like my own!
“Can’t say enough great things about Jacqui! Our cat is normally very wary of strangers but Jacqui was fantastic with him! She went above and beyond to get him comfortable with her and they became fast friends. Jacqui gave us plenty of updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. She even went the extra mile to check on him and the power in our house during a storm. Eddie loves his new bestie!”
“Briana & Isaiah were able to accommodate a last minute booking request on Thanksgiving due to our dog walker canceling last minute. They helped us out a great deal with caring for our 2 dogs. Highly recommend”
