“Ela is AMAZING! We received a very detailed report about her visit with our animals. Our cat has never stayed out with any visitor in the home (he always hides) and Ela just sent me pictures of him hanging out on the main floor with her and our pup. She must be a true cat-whisperer! We’re so grateful for her care and attention to detail with our animals. We will definitely continue using her!”
“Elise has been so great with daily walks for Daisy, our 2 year old Golden Retriever. We love the photos that she sends of their walks together and all the fun adventures that Daisy gets to go on!”
About: I have always had dogs growing up since I was a baby. I have been around dogs all sizes from Shih Tzu’s to Saint Bernards. I have currently a pitty who is reactived and been doing class with him. If you need someone to walk, run, watch or play with your dog(s) look no further! I currently work at a before and after school program. Was the program director, but now just work pm shifts. I’m free any time in the morning all the way up to about 1pm and will be busy until about 7 I can’t house sit at my house unfortunately at the moment with currently living situation. I have a yard for my dog to run, outdoor tent for my cats to be outside, and two birds cages for one inside and one outside.
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.
“I can't say enough great things about Sarah. She is definitely on our top list of dog walkers. She is friendly, on time, and so genuine. She loved our dog and he loved her right back. Sarah took on extra walks to help our family at the last minute. I highly recommend Sarah and am grateful I found her.”
“Hey Rover, do not put a cap on our tips! It's MY money and if I want to Tip Maria $10 I should be able to...NO MATTER WHAT! I'll leave you cash next time Maria, your fantastic”
“Julia is EXCELLENT—She will ALWAYS be my first choice! My anxious hyper dog can be A LOT and she is SO PATIENT and SO KIND and UNDERSTANDING. I appreciate her help more than she knows. A true blessing.”
“Sianna has been a great help with buddy! He’s a nervous guy and she was kind enough to work with us before moving forward so he had a smooth transition and he got used to her very quickly! She’s well versed in animal behavior and very professional. I’m so glad we found her.”
“Amrita was an amazing sitter. Our two dogs (chocolate lab & chihuahua) can be a handful, and she took great care of them during her drop-in. She followed all dog and house requests, was punctual, and communicated with us the entire time. We look forward to her watching our boys overnight in a few weeks.”
About: I've had my own dogs since I was a teenager, and I've cared for most kinds of cats, dogs, and small rodents. I'm attentive, detail-oriented, and can't wait to meet your pets! I work a hybrid job local to the Bel Air area, so I’m available to help out on evenings and weekends. I am currently only available for drop ins and walks. I will never bring my own dog to your home without direct permission. I try my best to leave any house better than how I found it.
“Tania was a lifesaver. She was so personable from our very first meeting. She just clicked with Cooper. He liked her immediately. She was prompt for his walks each day and gave him a good amount of time outside exercising. I felt totally at ease knowing he was well cared for. Thank you Tania we will be using you again.”
About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and am most comfortable taking care of medium to smaller dogs. I’m happy to give them walks, let them out, feed them, and general care. I currently own a cat who’s doesn’t like any other pets, so I can’t have my own dog just yet. In the meantime I’m more than happy to take care of yours! My cat is a diabetic so I am comfortable giving insulin injections as well. I work from home so I have flexibility during the weekday to stop by for a visit or even stay for an extended time if need be. I also have some availability on weekends as well! I am reliable and willing to check in as many times as you require. If there are any issues or concerns I’m happy to discuss them with you prior to watching your pet. If you have any special needs I’ll do my best to accommodate them.
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.

All of her pets have always been very happy. She even took great care of her rats by providing them with toys, handmade decorations, and freshly prepared meals.
