“This was our first time having anyone other than family watch our dog. Also, the first time having someone stay in our home. David was excellent with our dog as well as respectful of our home. The house was as we left it with no mess or anything. Very appreciative of a great first experience for in home dog sitting. Thanks, David!”
“Heidi was fantastic with Quincy! It's so refreshing to work with someone who is not only organized but also makes sure everything is clearly laid out, ensuring everyone is on the same page. She asked great questions to understand Quincy’s needs and gave him all the care and attention he deserved. Heidi provided the perfect amount of updates and even went the extra mile to give Quincy additional stimulation by taking him to one of his favorite walking spots. She truly goes out of her way to understand the dogs she cares for and makes sure their owners feel at ease. It’s been a pleasure working with her!”
“Aubrey took wonderful care of our dog and 2 cats! She cared for our house like it was her own. We will definitely use Aubrey again and highly recommend her to others. She was in communication with us and sent plenty of pictures…I swear my dog, Jack was smiling in one of the pics😂”
“Jessica was awesome! Our dogs loved her and she really stepped in during a time of panic for us when we lost our original dog sitter 2 days before vacation. 5-star rating all around and we will definitely book with her again!”
“We had Kristen watch our pups on our wedding day. She kept them busy and out of our hair as we got ready and stayed with them through the night. We were provided many updates throughout the day and our pups had a blast! I highly recommend Kristen for you next pet sitting/dog walking needs!”
“Natalie was great! Toby was happy and relaxed when we came home. Every day we got photos and notes - clearly they liked each other. All good! I will definitely post ask for Natalie whenever we go away.”
“She was really great!! I loved that she sent update pics the whole time I was away and my dogs and rats seemed really happy to have her watch them :) she also stayed over at our apartment to watch them and she left the place totally spotless!”
“We happily had Laurie spend a long weekend with our 2 dogs at our house and everything was great! She sent lots of photos of the dogs and they seemed very much like they enjoyed themselves. She even got my picky dog to eat. Respectful with the house and we returned to happy dogs and a clean house.”
“Victoria was great! She stayed at my house with my cat for a week while I was out of town with family. Super sweet and my cat loved her. Very communicative: I got daily photos and updates to give me peace of mind while away.”
About: I've taken care of friends, family and neighbors animals since I was about 12. Feeding, water, play. I'm more familiar with dogs and cats but I can also take care of other pets you might have including fish, hamsters and even chickens! Whether you have 1 pet or 3, need overnight care or just a walk, your pets are in great hands! I'm currently home from college for the summer, so I have flexible hours and many free days. I can spend lots of time with your pets! I will follow the rules you have set for your household. I can crate dogs and keep them off furniture. And for those silly routines they have, I'm more than happy to give them a treat when they come back inside, say a release word for meals or stop to sniff every single tree on their walk.
“I always know my boys are in good hands when we have Kelly stay with them. My house is also well taken care of and we are given updates along the way. Def will continue to book her when she is available for our vacations!”
“Miranda was amazing with both our furbabies! They were very loved and well taken care of during a snow storm too! Lots of pictures and updates! And our one dog requires 2 pils per day and she was able to administer the medicine easily! Thanks Miranda!”
“I could not have asked for a better person to watch my pups! He provided consistent updates with photos throughout our 4 day trip, he was able to extend watching them past the agreed date due to flight mishaps. I have two very high energy dogs, that love to bark and pull during walks, I personally walk them separately. Devon was able to work on their behavior and etiquette preparing for and during walks and has consistently been able yo walk them together. On some personal thoughtful notes: Some of my orchid flowers dropped and he pressed them for me. And he even left us a welcome home note with some treats for the pups. He is such a kind and thoughtful person, never using anyone else!”
“This was our second time having Eliza house/dog sit. We highly recommend her…we were completely at ease leaving Max in his first solo run without us. Eliza gave us plenty of picture updates and videos…Thank you again.”
“Raquel did a wonderful job watching our dog while we were away!! We had great communication and received regular updates and pictures!! Pinto seemed happy in her care. We will definitely be using Raquel in the future!”
“Michelle did some a GREAT job for our family! She communicated well, sent the best photos and was able to follow the requested schedule. She was also thoughtful and respectful of our home and left it in better condition than when we left! Thank you so much Michelle! We will definitely call you again.”
About: Hi!! My name is Marisa, but your pet can call me Auntie M ♥️ I’ve cared for dogs, cats, pocket pets (rats, ferrets, etc), as well as some exotic pets or over 15+ years. I raised my soul dog, LJ from 6 weeks old until she passed away at 11 from spinal cancer. She was my greatest achievement as a person, and I was proud to be able to love and care for her. I have the experience of all life stages. From puppyhood to adulthood, senior care to advanced care. I also have experience in the veterinary field. I worked for Hagerstown Banfield Pet Hospital for almost 2 years. I learned basic first aid skills and wound care, medication administration, attention to behavior changes due to illness or injury and the awareness of possible emergency. I will communicate thoroughly with every owner to make sure their pet is treated exactly as they are on a normal day to day basis. Your pet will be my new niece or nephew for the entirety of my care. I do have a full time job that is located in the Frederick. My availability for overnights depends on location but I am happy to try and help if I can! I am currently unable to care for pets in my home, but if I were to stay at your home, my goal would be to ensure there are no disruptions to their regular schedule.
“Watched my 6 year old lab while I was gone for a last minute work trip. Katherine was easy to communicate with, sent pictures during the stay and kept me updated. Came home and was like nothing happened. Would definitely call her back!”

Marisa A.
“Marisa has been absolutely amazing with our Irish Wolfhound! As any giant breed owner knows, it’s not easy finding someone who truly understands how to care for such a large dog—but Marisa went above and beyond. From the first meet-and-greet, it was clear they are a true animal lover and had both the experience and heart to care for our gentle giant. She treated our pup like part of her family, gave him tons of love and attention, and kept us updated with sweet messages and photos throughout the stay. It was such a relief to know he was not only safe, but genuinely happy while we were away. On top of the incredible care, our home was left spotless—clean, tidy, and just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a responsible, kind, and experienced sitter who will treat your pet like their own, book Marisa. We’ll definitely be using them again!”
