About: I’ve always helped to take care of my friends and neighbors’ pets. I’m new to the Baltimore/Towson area and looking for new clients :) Would love to learn about all the dog friendly places in the area that owners recommend :) I am new to the area so I am taking time to settle in before looking for jobs, so my schedule is very flexible currently! Since I just moved to the area, I am unemployed while I settle in so I have lots of free time to get back into pet sitting! I have a 2 year old cat as well as a rescued 6 year old dog. I enjoy playing with both of them and making sure they’re stimulated daily!

“Dalara was incredible! Totally put our mind at ease with our dogs. They were so professional, transparent, and wonderful to our dogs. Especially given the last minute nature of our request - they made it work! So grateful and I highly recommend them.”


“Jaeda Y. Was very responsible and kind with my two 100+ lbs fur babies! She took excellent pictures daily which I totally enjoyed receiving! Thanks a bunch Jaeda. I’ll be looking to book her again on my next trip.”


About: Hi! I’m a 19-year old college student, currently on summer break looking for a way to make extra cash! I’ve always had atleast 2 dogs my whole life and have all the experience! I love all the dogs and cats from small to extra large and shy to extroverted. I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, lizards, hamsters, etc. I do work during the weekdays 8-4 but am available before and after to help care of your pets! I look forward to meeting new furry friends :) I currently work a 8-4 job during the weekdays but am available before or after work to stop by or stay over if needed. I’m also available basically all day on the weekends. I have a sizable yard which is fenced in and I always keep a close eye on my dogs. I take care of them appropriately and never fail to give them love.

About: I have always loved animals! Especially dogs, I grew up around dogs.. Even watched a few neighbors dogs for them! I am currently on campus in college and the university is a great and friendly environment to walk through! I’m currently working on campus and will have plenty of time to walk your furry friends!!! Such as taking them to large fields to run on and even have some Towson toys to bring along! The clients home would be best! I live on dorm , therefore cannot bring the dog to my place, but it would be great to just walk on campus or around the neighborhood!

“I can’t thank Samm enough! I have never left my cats more than 1 night let alone with a sitter and I’m so happy I found Samm. They are incredibly needy cats who need lots of love and attention and she tended to every need they had and more. They were so happy each time she visited and probably forgot we were even gone at times. We got so many pictures at the end of each visit which made me happy to see my babies being taken care of and so loved while I was gone. If you’re looking for an amazing sitter who is trustworthy and will love your babies like their own, Samm is the perfect fit! I can’t wait to have her cat sit for us again. Thank you!! ?”


About: I’m a pet parent with experience caring for a Great Dane. I recently did drop-in visits for Penny, the lovely girl in my first photo! I am happy to work with dogs of all sizes. I am happy to make any special accommodations your pet needs, including a special diet or administering medication. I have education in animal training and experience training reptiles. I work full-time but have telework flexibility, meaning that I could work from your home while house-sitting, and walk or play with your pet on my break. I have a calming presence for the pets I’ve worked with. Your pets safety is my top priority. I will respect your space if you choose me as your pet’s caregiver!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14, and it’s truly second nature to me. From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing a gentle touch, I have experience with animals at every stage of life. I’m experienced in basic puppy training, including leash manners, crate comfort, and establishing routines. I’ve also raised and cared for cats, dogs, and even a 4-week-old kitten who’s still with me 10 years later. I also spent my high school years working on a farm, which gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals—dogs, cats, lizards, fish, chickens, sheep, cows, pigs, goats, and horses. That background taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and adaptable in any situation. I also have experience administering medications—pills, liquids, and topicals—and am trained in pet first aid, giving me the confidence to handle unexpected situations calmly and effectively. With my medical background as a full-time nurse and my lifelong love of animals, I provide thoughtful, dependable care you can trust. Throughout high school and college, I was regularly trusted to house sit and care for pets while families were away—something I take great pride in. Today, I share my life with a dog, a cat, and a horse of my own, so I understand just how much your pets mean to you. Whether your pet needs active playtime, patient care, or just a calm, comforting presence, I’m here to provide the same love and attention I give my own. I’m a full-time registered nurse at the University of Maryland Medical Center, working three 12-hour shifts per week. This schedule gives me several days off in between, which I dedicate to pet care—perfect for drop-in visits, walks, and weekend boarding. For boarding, my husband Kevin and I provide care in our home. With our combined schedules, your pet will rarely be left alone. Kevin also has years of experience with animals and dog training, so your pet will be in capable, caring hands with both of us. We treat every pet like part of our family and are committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay. In My Home: Your pet will enjoy a safe, fun, and loving environment! I have a fenced-in yard where they can play freely with my friendly, playful dog. On hot days, there’s a shallow kiddie pool for splashing fun—and while we do have a larger pool, it’s securely fenced off for safety. Whether your dog prefers lounging or playing, they’ll have the space and freedom to feel at home. Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed, and I’m happy to follow any crate or sleep routines you request. I treat each pet like one of my own—comfortable, happy, and cared for. In Your Home: I’m respectful of your space and always leave things clean and as I found them. I make sure your pet is safe, secure, and happy—whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just companionship. I always leash dogs before heading out, and I pay close attention to your pet’s routine, preferences, and safety while you’re away.
