Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Charles Village

“Nathalie was amazing !! It was so reassuring that she was checking in on my kitty Duke. She did a great job. She was trustworthy in our home, reliable, communicative, and caring. That’s all one could ask for when watching your fur babies. Will definitely book her again.”

“Taylor did a fantastic job taking care of my cats while I was on vacation! She sent me updates and paid particular attention to both of their unique and shy personalities.

About: **Note on availability: I’m moving to Boulder, CO on June 29th, so unfortunately I won’t be available for pet sitting in Baltimore after that!** I’m a (near-)lifelong pet owner and (actually) lifelong pet lover. I grew up with an adorable calico cat that my family got when I was 2 and an energetic Stabyhoun dog we got when I was 11, so I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have an animal or two to care for. That calico cat, Micio, was my best friend until she died at age 17, during my senior year of high school. She experienced some significant health issues in her final years, which gave me lots of experience and a real passion for caring for senior pets and pets with health issues. I also help my mom care for my childhood dog, the Stabyhoun, whenever I visit the two of them—he is now 15 and has a few health issues of his own, but he still acts like a puppy, and I love figuring out how to make him as comfortable and happy as possible as his needs change! Sadly, the building I live in right now doesn’t allow pets, so I get my fix looking after my friends’ pets. This is what I’ve been doing since starting college in 2018. Between cat sibling rivalries, kittens so small they needed monitoring and heating pads 24/7, a dog with a fear of trash cans and rain, a puppy with a peeing problem, and two dogs competing to be the most polite to each other (I had to feed them in different rooms so they wouldn’t wait forever for each other to eat), I’ve cared for plenty of pets on every side of the personality spectrum, from the shyest of the shy to the most outgoing. I see it as a true privilege to get to know so many animals’ personalities and quirks, and I treasure the time that I spend with them. I am careful, thorough, sensitive, and a good listener. This helps me learn from you about how to give your pet the best care possible, and it also helps me be alert to anything your pet is trying to tell me while I’m with them! Hopefully I’ll live somewhere someday where I can have pets of my own and even offer boarding or doggy day care at my place, but for now, I’m just happy to help in any small way I can. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet; to learning what makes them feel safe, happy, and content; and to hopefully making a new friend. I’m a part-time music teacher, so my schedule can be quite flexible when planned ahead of time. Currently, I’m available M/W/Th before 3pm and after 5pm, Tuesdays before 3pm and after 9pm, and Fri-Sun all day. Depending on the week, I might have a concert to play or a lesson to teach here or there outside of those hours; let me know what time window you’re interested in and I can give you my full schedule in detail! I try my best to make the care I provide is customized to any pet’s needs. Since I’m a musician, my only limit is that if I’m spending a whole day or days with a pet who needs a lot of people time, I need to be able to practice my violin. I have a practice mute which can make the sound very soft, but still, I understand that this isn’t every person’s (or animal’s) cup of tea! Outside of that limitation, I am available to take your pet on walks, play with them (in or outside of your house), pamper them, feed them, give them medications, intervene in sibling squabbles as needed, do training exercises with them, brush their teeth—if your pet needs it, and you’re willing to teach me any special instructions or methods you have, I can do it!

“Ivan was great! I was a little nervous because my cat can be really skittish and stressed around strangers (and for a few days after), but she was perfectly chill.”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life! Since I was a kid, we’ve always had dogs in the house, and as I grew older, I became the primary care taker of my dogs back home in Texas. I’m good at following complex regimens, from training details, feeding schedules, and medication administration! I’m am very flexible and comfortable around all dogs. I especially love larger pups. I have just graduated undergrad, so my availability has definitely freed up recently! I am available early mornings during the weekdays and most afternoons for both weekdays and weekends. To me, caring for pets also means giving them all the necessary attention! I love interacting with them at home with gentle play. Outside, I love to take my dogs to a park and let them run around and get their exercise. My dogs love to fetch, so I can’t forget to take a ball with me on our walks! I am always watching for the time, making sure that they are eating and pottying on schedule! My ultimate goal is to ensure that a pet is completely comfortable and safe, whether that means running around with them or taking a very calm walk!!

About: I've been a huge pet lover since I was little! I've taken care of my family and neighbor's dogs since I was little, and I recently started taking care of family friends' dogs in my own home. I have experience administering meds for doggies on medication, love working out so I can keep up with any active ones, and have done grooming before! I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs, as well as small doggies all the way to big dogs. I love em all!! I just graduated college, and I am looking for full-time industry jobs, so I am home/available all day, and I'm ready to build my routines/schedules around your fur baby and make them my top priority! For boarding, I provide a secure, pet-proofed home. I like to do slow/controlled introductions with my roommates (all female college students) and me and keep close supervision at all times, especially in the beginning. I have an unfenced yard, but I never let untrained and/or unleashed doggies out there without constant supervision. I will follow all your care instructions and medication schedules. Everything mentioned applies for house sitting and dog walking! I do not own any pets myself, so I am open for doggies who cannot be around other animals.

About: I have been dog sitting with my father through Rover since I was 13. Now that I have moved out and have a cat, I am excited to care for your furry friends! I am a medical student on summer break currently working remotely. This gives me the flexibility to walk and take care of dogs most days. I am almost always in the area since I work from home. My previous experience with Rover has taught me the ins and outs of taking care of dogs and cats alike.

About: I am a therapist full time and I grew up with a labradoodle (he’s 13 and thriving!) I have two cats of my own as well. Growing up throughout high school, I was a dog sitter and dog walker for neighbors and family friends. I have so much love for animals and experience in senior dog care, post-surgery care, and all sorts of cat care :) I also have watched bunnies!! I work full time as a therapist but full time looks different as a therapist, I work about 25 hours a week so I have lots of time to drop by and check on your animal(s) or take ‘em out for a walk! I approach every animal with love and respect for their boundaries! I am a huge animal lover and my empathy I would say is my strong suit for both my full time job and this one :)

“Marin was an excellent sitter this week for our cat! Of course, we were worried as pet parents leaving town and being away from her for so long. But Marin was very reassuring, communicative, and helpful. We got pictures with every check in, and updates throughout her stay. Our cat can have a bit of attitude and be feisty, but she warmed right up to Marin. We cannot thank you enough for the good care you took of our girl! Will book again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve looked after everything from energetic dogs who love adventure and playtime to senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra patience, and close attention to routines and comfort. I also previously owned and operated my own pet sitting business for several years, where I built trusted relationships with pet owners and provided dependable in-home care for their pets and houses. I eventually closed the business to help my sister run her company full time, but I never stopped pet sitting. Since then, I’ve continued caring for pets on the side because it’s something I genuinely love and find deeply fulfilling. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medications, overnight care, companionship, litter box maintenance, basic grooming support, and maintaining consistent routines to help pets feel secure while their owners are away. I understand how important communication and trust are, so I always aim to provide thoughtful updates and attentive care that gives owners real peace of mind. Along with pet care, I’m highly respectful of people’s homes and take pride in leaving spaces clean, organized, and well cared for. I’m dependable, communicative, calm under pressure, and genuinely attentive to the little details that make a difference. For me, great pet sitting is about creating a safe, loving, low stress environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for until their people return. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Anatole France​ I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide pets with lots of companionship, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate walks, feeding routines, playtime, medications, and cuddle breaks as needed. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I naturally build pet care into my daily routine rather than treating it like a task to check off. I have over 30 years of experience caring for animals and previously owned my own pet sitting business, so safety, communication, and trust are extremely important to me. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior changes, medications, and household instructions, and I always aim to create a calm, loving, low-stress environment for pets while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and care, keep spaces clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
