“Samantha was great and made sure Athena was well cared-for while I was away for a couple of days. She left good updates and was even able to get a picture of my (very shy, usually hiding) kitty.”


“My girlfriend and I have both travelled extensively and the trips that involved us leaving our pets behind were by far the most difficult. Kelli completely changed this dynamic of us. Not once did we worry about them while we were away because we got daily updates and communication. Our neighbor even messaged us to tell us that the person caring for our animals was spending great quality time with them. The temperament of our pets upon arrival home was distinctly different than past experiences, they were happy and relaxed. We will absolutely use her again.”


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.

“Stephanie was wonderful with our girls!! I was apprehensive as I had to extend our travels and have never left them for such a long time, but Stephanie was reliable and prompt with her visits. The girls enjoyed her visits. Thank you!”


“Ashley was wonderful! My pups and my kitty cat seemed very happy and comfortable with her. She took great care of my babies and she even did a last minute drop in when my flight was delayed, I will be booking again if I have any more trips to go on, thank you Ashley!!!”


“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!”


“Such a wonderful and caring professional! My Coco & Lulu adore Travis, he took the time to sit with them during every visit, even went as far as to hand feed Coco their dinners. Reliable & helpful, we will be requesting Travis many times over!”


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 have been watching and walking dogs for friends and neighbors since I was a teenager. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I've walked Goldens and Great Pyrenees as well as hounds and pugs. I trained both our dogs as puppies and took excellent care of our senior dog before he passed. I love helping people by caring for their pets and would love to meet your pups! I have a full time job during the week but I would love to fill the weekends with some cute dogs! On my days off I am usually available all day to help out! I always try to stay in the dog's comfort zone. I'll check in with you about walking routes or favorite toys/games. Each dog is different so I do my best to cater to them all based on their specific needs!

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!

“Jackie was a saint with our anxious dog, Skyla. Sky is a high maintenance rescue pup due to past trauma and Jackie was very patient to make sure our girl was comfortable and safe. I am so thankful for her.”


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.

“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”
