About: I’ve grown up around animals and have cared for all kinds: playful pups, chill seniors, and even pets with meds or special needs. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re part of my family. You can count on me to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m available most mornings and early afternoons, typically between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love getting outside for walks or spending quiet time with pets during the day, it’s the best part of my week. I treat every pet like they’re my own, whether I’m in your home or they’re staying with me. I stick to their routine, keep things clean and cozy, and make sure they always feel safe and cared for. I’m big on belly rubs, fresh water, and making them feel at home, and I’ll always keep you in the loop so you know they’re doing great.

She is also just a really nice person - I will definitely reach out to Serenity again the next time we are away, and would recommend her to others!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, starting with my own Maltese, Snowball, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. From walks to bath time to snuggles, I’ve been hands on every step of the way with the support of my family. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pups too, knowing I treat every dog like my own. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to care for senior dogs, small breeds, and playful pups alike. I work a part-time job at my college on Wednesdays, but I’m available to sit any other day of the week! I have lots of time to give your pup attention, playtime, and outdoor walks. I’m especially free for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm. I have a fenced yard and a sweet older dog named Snowball who gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. At my home, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of affection and attention. I love keeping their routines consistent and providing a calm and safe space. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I will follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I have cared for and trained five of my own dogs from weeks-old puppies to 17 year old seniors of all different kinds and mixes. I absolutely love dogs, so much so that I have three of my own! I also have 15 years of experience dog sitting and dog walking for other peoples’ pups. I’m currently working part time so I am very flexible when it comes to checking in on, walking, or sitting for your pup. I am free for morning and afternoon visits, and occasional nighttime visits. I am very respectful of owners’ preferences when it comes to caring for their dogs, whether it be in my home or theirs. As the owner of three older pups, I understand the varying needs that dogs can have depending on their personality, age, and health. I am always happy to talk through things to make sure everyone is happy with my care.
“We love having Hailey come cat sit for us. This was our 2nd time having Hailey sit out cat and have been extremely pleased with her services both times. Our cat is well cared for and loved while we are away by Hailey and we always appreciate the check ins she provides to us. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve been a dog walker for several households in my neighborhood. I’ve been an active participant in dog training since I was 11 (taking dogs to training classes and learning how to teach commands via the clicker reward system). I also have experience cat sitting. I am currently a doctoral student at the university of Maryland, so I am free anytime after 6 PM on week nights, and my weekends are flexible. I also tend to run early in the morning (usually by 6 AM) if you’re dog would like to join me I can certainly make that happen, or I’m happy to include them in the warm up or cool down if walking is more their speed ! I have a fenced in backyard if your dog wants to hangout here for the day. I also have a playful 2 year old cat who LOVES his canine buddies! He also enjoys playing with other cats, he’s never met a person or animal he didn’t like! However, if your pet is more of a Lone Ranger there is ample space to separate them as well.
About: What sets me apart is how much I truly love and connect with animals. I don’t just watch your pet — I treat them like my own family. I have two cats who are my world, and I also help take care of a puppy part-time, so I know how to handle different personalities and energy levels. I’m super patient, caring, and love giving lots of attention and cuddles. Your fur baby will always feel safe, loved, and spoiled with me! I’m a model, so sometimes I might get called in for a job and have to travel, but right now it’s summer and I’m on break, so I’m pretty much available every day! I’ll always let you know ahead of time if I have to be out of town. When I’m here, your fur baby will get all my time, love, and attention! I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and totally at home. I’m super patient and careful, and I love giving lots of attention and snuggles. I treat every pet like they’re my own family and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. Your fur baby will always be in good hands with me:3

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and even smaller pets over the years. From energetic puppies to senior companions. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or keeping up with special routines, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I understand that each animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m pretty much available for whenever. I’m an early bird. I am usually up at 4AM. I will not do anything after the time of 8PM. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority. I always follow your care instructions closely and keep a watchful eye to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe. I’m comfortable with leash walks, secure playtime, and managing special needs like medications or feeding schedules. I also believe in clear communication.

Whether we’re on a walk, playing in the yard, or relaxing indoors, your furry friend will always be safe, supervised, and cared for as if they were my own.
