Madison was great with our older dog Ruby. She made it a point to share an update with us during each visit and provided pictures of Ruby as well throughout the week. We really appreciate Madison’s help while we went on vacation for the week and would trust her to checkin on Ruby again :)

Anna was SUCH a great caretaker of our two kitties while we were away for a week. She’s very communicative, punctual, and follows directions well. Our cats seemed like they enjoyed her company a lot and were very well taken care of.

About: I’ve been professionally dog walking and pet sitting for 6+ years and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life and I’m truly an animal lover at heart. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including high-energy pups, leash training, and shy or anxious pets who may need a little extra patience and care. I also love keeping pet parents updated with daily photos and videos so you can feel connected and worry-free while you’re away! Monday – Friday: 6:00 AM – 5:00 PM Weekends: Flexible hours! Let’s coordinate based on your pet’s needs. Need something outside of this? I’m happy to accommodate special schedules when possible—just reach out! • Always on time and respectful of your home • I double-check doors, gates, and food instructions—no detail is too small! • I will always provide a lot of love and respect for your place (and your pup)!

Orianne provided care for my cat for the first time last week while I was out of town. I appreciated that she responded to my request sort of last minute. She was on-time and provided all the services I requested for each visit. She immediately reported an issue when it happened and it was quickly resolved. I would highly recommend Orianne for pet care.

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and love to play and walk or even just hang out with them. If you need I am a responsible owner who will take your dog to the park or a long walk! I am still in school and I work part-time but I can definitely work around that. I am available most afternoons and weekends as well. I will take your pet to the dog park or a long walk or just hang out with them if they need company. Whatever is needed!

About: I had my dog for 11 years of my life, until she recently passed. I’ve also cared for my neighbors cat for two years. While I miss my pet, I would find so much joy in caring for yours! I’m currently home for the summer from college, and I have a very free summer! I am super flexible and can care for your fur babies whenever you need! I have a fenced yard, and when I am out of my house the pet would be safely confined to one room and made as comfortable as possible. I am fully comfortable walking your dog as needed, and having play time!

About: We strive to provide health and happiness for your furry family member! We are a mother son team! Between the two of us, we have over 20 years of work experience caring for pets in MD, MO, DMV, VA, And TX and locally. We specialize in large and giant dog care as we have a large and giant breed dog. We enjoy spending our time with pets and their people. I accompany my 10 yo son every home we visit. He will walk, play with, feed, water, and pick up after your pets while on a walk. I usually will clean if your pet has made a mess, uses the litter box etc. I have a background in animal care including goats, cattle, horses and your pets at home. My education is in Animal Science and Agriculture. You're always welcome to follow us on Instagram Alpha_Zulu_K9 We post more pictures of our experience as pet sitters and your doggy superstar! We look forward to helping you care for your 4 footed family! Because our PRIMARY concern is the health and safety of your furry family member, before we have the stay, ALL dogs MUST provide proof of RABIES AND BORDATELLA (KENNEL COUGH). We WILL NOT ALLOW your dog to board without the proper vaccinations. I work from home. For the most part I am always home with your pets. I usually walk every morning for about 4 miles. During the summer I do not do long walks during the afternoon. Evening walks are usually about a mile. Because we don’t have a a large yard, and a doggy door animals are always on leash when they need to go out. We walk our long distances in the morning before the temperature is above 85 degrees. Summer heat can be very dangerous so we do all we can to avoid heat stress. No matter how well your doggie works with you, they might not follow commands from us. Therefore your baby is never off leash when we leave the home for walks, potty breaks, etc. The only difference is at a dog park. We do take your babies to the park with your permission.

Robert is a genuine cat (and dog) person. He gave us great confidence leaving our two mischievous cats under his care. He communicated well, sent cute photos each day, and really cared about making sure the kitties had not just food/water/litter but also friendly affection. I would hire him again any time!

Maia was absolutely fantastic! She was super communicative and sent a bunch of adorable photos and lengthy notes with updates on my cats. I have two little anxious babies and she was so good about making sure they took their meds and I could see from the photos how relaxed they were around her. When I came home they weren’t even mad at me for being gone! Would 10/10 recommend!

I had a great experience meeting with Fernanda during our meet and greet. She's friendly, professional, and took the time to get to know both me and my cat (even though she was hiding!). I appreciated how thoughtful she was in asking questions about my cat's routine, preferences, and care needs. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals and wants to provide the best possible care. The meet and greet left me feeling confident and comfortable about leaving my cat in her care. I would absolutely recommend Fernanda to other pet parents looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!
