Top rated Cockeysville dog sitters
“Erin is an outstanding dog walker! She is incredibly professional, flexible, and always willing to work with you to accommodate your pet’s needs. Recently, I had an unexpected work trip and needed same-day pet walking. Erin didn’t hesitate to step in and help. She is so sweet and treats my dog as if he were her own, showing genuine care and attention every time. I truly appreciate her reliability and kindness, and I would recommend Erin to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to take care of their pets.”
“Irene was wonderful to work with. She made twice a day visits to feed my cat and kitten. She was at my house when she said she would be. She cleaned the litter box and followed my directions to feed them. I was really happy each day when she told me she was playing with my kitten! I felt completely at ease on my vacation knowing that Irene was taking care of my kitties! I’ll definitely hire her again!!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, but life circumstances haven’t allowed me to have a pet of my own for awhile—so I put all that love, attention, and care into yours. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or just keeping your pet’s routine steady while you’re away, I treat every furry friend like family. I am looking to fill some of my time loving on your pet. I have always loved dogs and I miss having them in my home. Flexible hours for availability. I also walk a lot and would love to have a companion! Sounds like a win win! I am looking for opportunities to care for pets outside of my home. Due to family allergies I am unable to own a pet so I am looking to love on yours.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals including hamsters, birds, and snakes which includes feeding, watering, and taking care of their habitat. However my main focus has been walking and taking care of dogs daily or for a long period of time. A special service would be walking dogs to Oregon Ridge Park. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play and/or walk your dog. This would allow me the opportunity to take your pet on a longer walk. For the pet’s well being and comfort I would make sure I have all the necessities for the pet, including food, water and toys. In addition I would need to have all the information for the dog in case of an emergency which would include both the pet parent’s number and the vet.
“Sophia is a punctual, attentive, and gentle pet-sitter. I appreciate that she spent extra time with Sporty and made sure she got plenty of exercise and stimulation. I would highly recommend Sophia and I will certainly be using her again in the future.”
“Karenna did a great job at cat sitting while we were away, we couldn’t have left her in better hands. While our fluffball is very shy, she did her best to try and bond with her. Eventually got to pet her! Definitely would recommend.”
About: I had two dogs growing up so I have been around them my whole life. I currently have a golden retriever that lives with me as well. I have dog-sat a basset hound since he was a puppy as well as a miniature dachshund and helped train them. I have a lot of patience so puppies are no issue! I also love getting my steps in so long walks are okay with me! I am okay with going to your residence or bringing your dog to mine as long as they are friendly! (There are good trails to walk where I live and I have a private dog park as well) I am currently on summer break from college so I am around every day other than a vacation I have planned. When school starts back up at the end of August my schedule will be a little less open. I have a golden retriever that gets along with other animals very well!! I am very respectful of others homes and will make sure to follow all instructions given.

Whether you're friends, family, or friends of family, I always strive to give your pet the love and attention that I give my own fur babies.

I have experience with grooming dogs as well due to having a golden doodle of my own. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! I currently work a Part-time job that schedules me 2-3 times a week so I have a lot of availability to make house visits or spend the day as much as you would need me to!

Brian M.
“Brian’s priority is the welfare and safety of your dogs. He recognizes that not only are they pets, they are members of your family. Brian has taken care of our dogs for as long as three weeks. Not only did they have several walks a day, Brian provided them with playtime and lots of hugs. Our dogs were always happy to see him. When you explain what you want for your best friend, he will always follow your wishes.”

Paul R.
“I have seen Paul take care of many different animals in my tenure of knowing him. When he met my dogs for the first time, at the time I had two massive (but friendly) golden retrievers and hew was completely unfazed by their size or energetic behavior. When he got a dog of his own, I watched him train her into a very obedient golden, which surprised me because having grown up with goldens all my life, she learned commands very quickly. He is a huge animal lover and can handle some very intense personalities from dogs. I highly recommend him.”

Alicia G.Star Sitter
“I can’t recommend Alicia enough—she’s an amazing dog sitter! From the moment she met my puppy, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands animals. She’s reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog feels safe, happy, and entertained. The only downside? I’m beginning to think my dog likes Alicia more than he likes me! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Alicia is the one!”
Paige H.
“Paige has always been a very kind and compassionate person who loves animals, especially dogs. She would regularly care for our dog Oliver making sure he there was food and water is his bowls, taking him outside when necessary and just being a friend. Because she too is very active, she enjoyed walking him and playing with him in our yard. She would also occasionally walk our neighbor's dogs, just keep Oliver company. Paige is conscientious and on time and I would highly recommend her for caring for anyone's dog.”

“Walter is a patient and loving person. He has cared for my dog on several occasions. He takes him on very long walks, sends pictures to ease my nerves and gives a full report of potty habits. He has been a life saver on many occasions when I needed someone short notice as well. I 100% recommended Walter to any pet parents looking for a reliable pet sitter who will make your fur baby comfortable while you’re away.”
Meghan C.
“Meghan has walked my dog, Lily, on many occasions and has also helped with overnight sitting. She is very reliable and trustworthy- updating me throughout the day with pictures and letting me know how she is doing. Lily gets so excited whenever she sees Meghan or I drop her off to her! Highly recommend!”
Heather O.
“I have known Heather O’Donnell for almost 5 years. In that time, I have noticed that she is caring and devoted to her animals and to others around her. She is knowledgeable in animal care as she continuously educates herself. Every animal I have seen her interact with has quickly grown a liking to her. I would highly recommend Heather O’Donnell.”
