“Amber does a fantastic job watching Archie. She is punctual, communicates well, and has very good intuition about what is best for him. The weather has been very hot and she has appropriately gotten him time outside when able, then made him come inside before he gets too warm. I highly recommend booking her!”


“We needed a somewhat last minute sitter for our pups (in home) and Michelle was happy to help out! She was absolutely wonderful with our pups. She followed their routines and gave them lots of love which made me feel so reassured when we were away. She also communicated consistently and provided lots of pics of the pups. I will definitely reach out to her again if we need a sitter in the future!”


About: Started caring for pets since I was 10. Mostly dogs and cats along with some awesome rabbits. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk, feed, play, administer medicine, clean liter boxes and give good lovin' to their beloved pets ! Lots of experience staying with pets in their home (sometimes for several weeks at a time) or coming to their home several times days for care. Realized that I was born with a natural rapport with animals. Grateful for this ability and nurtured these skills all my life. I'm currently applying for full-time work, so I'll have plenty of time (flexible hours) to love-up on your dearest dogs with walks, play and treats. Of course, belly rubs are included! Haven't had my own pet in awhile, but lived with housemates who have wonderful animal spirits (dogs, cats and bunnies) to brighten their lives and mine. When I've lived with pets, always check they have plenty of clean water and food and, depending on how they are housed, make sure they are safe in their crates or curled up in their favorite spots before I leave. Always make sure that I know where list of emergency contacts and vet info is located.

“Keira was excellent with our dogs - would absolutely recommend her to anyone (especially if you're on vacation at Deep Creek Lake). She went right to them and they were very comfortable with her. Thank you Keira!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals while their family is away on vacation or work. I grew up with dogs and cats. Always have loved to be around them! My work schedule allows me to have most early mornings free as well as all evenings. I would love to get some regulars to love and take care of ❤️ I am very willing to work with how you keep your dog safe! I will follow whatever is needed to keep both of us safe and happy!


“Lauren was perfect for our girl! She took incredible care of our dog while away on a long weekend trip. It can be scary leaving your animals with "strangers" but as soon as I met Lauren, I knew Indi would be loved as if she were her own! We were more than comfortable leaving her for the weekend! We will definitely use Lauren in the future :)”


“Kimberly did an outstanding job taking care of my dog Koko while I was away. Koko loved her company and I came home to find him happy and relaxed. She followed his routine walks and feedings, just as I had asked her. She communicated with me often and sent me pictures. I couldn't have found a better pet sitter.”


About: I have watched multiple types of dogs including: shih tzu, Yorkies, Pomeranian, lab, poodles, redbones, border collie, boxers, pit bulls, jack Russells, and Chihuahuas. I have bathed, cut hair/ nails, brushed, and given medicine to many dogs. I have fed, watered, walked, ran, and scratched dogs. I have kept multiple dogs overnight, during the day and in the evening. I have taken dogs to the vet, let them out periodically, and just stopped by to give them some attention also! In the end, I really truly do love all dogs and I just want to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have availability through out most evenings from 4pm - 11pm. I could also do some earlier in the morning for a couple hours with enough notice. Weekends I’m fully free. I can also do overnight and then morning drop offs if needed. Or I could keep them at my house during the day and stop by a few times to let them out (I’m right next door)! I will give them food / water / medicine when directed. I will give them treats when deserved or directed. I will take them on walks, play with them, and let them out periodically to use the bathroom. I will give them lots of cuddles and scratches if that’s something they are interested in!

About: As long as I can remember growing up we always had animals mostly dogs. As I got older I have always been the one my friends and family come to when they need someone to care for their pets. I would pet sit, take them on walks , stay with them and play with them. I am a true dog lover through and through. I have had dogs my whole life . My son has 5 dogs and pretty much everyone I know is a pet lover so no matter where I go I’m around animals. I watch dogs for friends and my son often. I can take them to the dog park to run and play with other dogs. We can go on walks and play in the yard.
