“Pond watched my two cats and one dog at my house and was absolutely amazing! Sent the cutest pictures, very responsive and left our house spotless. My animals were very happy and I will definitely have pond take care of my many animals again!”
“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

About: I have grown up caring for a variety of different pets! My family has had dogs, indoor and outdoor cats, parakeets, gerbils, and fish. I love animals of all varieties and welcome the opportunity to help you care for your pets while you’re away! I also spent years pet sitting for dogs and cats for my neighbors growing up. I am available to provide house sitting, drop in care, and dog walking for your pets. I am based in College Park and will have a part time job at the University of Maryland this summer, so my schedule is flexible and I am able to accommodate your pets’ needs! I’m currently working a part time job in the DMV area and very flexibly to accommodate your pet’s schedule. I’m happy to schedule my days around their individual needs and requirements. I currently live in an apartment, so I am unable to take your pets into my home. In your home, I’m happy to accommodate your pets however needed! I am dedicated to learning your pets’ daily routine so that I can keep them happy and healthy while you’re away.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs since I was 6. I took main responsibility of my dogs when I was 9 years old and I have experience with many different breeds including Bully breeds. I know how to properly train, discipline, reward, feed, walk, and bathe pets. I am currently student at university so I would love to spend my weekends taking care of your pets. My schedule is flexible and I’m willing to spend my nights to watch your pets. I would also love to take afternoon walks and would love if your furry friends could join me. I respect any wishes you have for how you would like your pets to be within the house. I can keep your pet crated if you prefer or have them roam the house while keeping a close eye on them. I constantly pay attention to your pets and watch for any signs that they may show.
“Karleigh was great! Lolah finally warmed up to her, and sometimes cats act weird around strangers, but Karleigh was great at breaking the ice! Really appreciate you Karleigh! Hope to have you over again! Thanks!!”
“Maria was so great! I loved that she wanted to do a meet and greet beforehand. I can tell Shiloh was well taken care of. Even when I got a little worried, she was able to quickly reassure me. I definitely plan on booking her again for my future trips if she’ll have us :)”
“During our trip away for a weekend, Sharon stayed at our home so that she could take care of our dog, Rufus. We are really grateful to her for all she did to keep Rufus healthy and happy. Rufus is sometimes a little anxious, but Sharon was great with him. We received pictures of Rufus throughout the weekend, and we felt confident that Rufus was in good hands. We recommend Sharon without reservations. We hope to work with her again soon. Thank you, Sharon!”
About: I grew up with 2 cats, a dog, and crested gecko. I have pet sat since high school, watching over everything from an axolotl to a parrot! I currently live with 2 cats and would love to hangout with any of your furry or scaly babies. I have a pretty open school schedule and am around most of the time. My school days typically end around 1pm, but I am able to come back in between classes if needed. I plan to follow the owner’s instructions for pet care as everyone cares for their own a little bit differently. I have experience with senior animal care and would love to help out.
“Molly has been walking our dogs for a couple of weeks, and we couldn’t be happier! Our dog, Finn, is pretty nervous and weary of strangers, but Molly has been really patient with him! Would 100% recommend”
“Keaton was AMAZING. We got multiple adorable pics and updates daily, so appreciated! They provided absolutely perfect care to our babies, one being a senior cat who needs daily injections and a bit of extra care to get her calories in. Not only that, but they went above and beyond keeping our house tidy and handling tasks that were beyond what we had even discussed. We will absolutely be booking them again. Thank you Keaton!”
“Savina did a great job with our dog Rosie! Rosie has pretty intense separation anxiety and Savina was super understanding and gave us great, detailed updates and pictures throughout our trip.”
“We’ve now had Megan stay at our house a few times to look after our two cats while we’re on vacation. She is attentive, shares lots of updates, and took great care of our home and kitties! She went above and beyond when we had a maintenance issue in the house to coordinate getting it fixed. I really appreciated knowing everything was in good hands!”
“Aliyah was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! One of our dogs still has ‘puppy energy’ but she was calm and firm with her. And I swear my house was cleaner than when I left. We absolutely will be booking with her again!”
About: I had two dogs back in my hometown and they feel like boss of the house when I am around. I can take care of puppies, small dogs and big ones too. I am currently doing my masters at UMD and I am usually free in the day because my classe are mostly scheduled in the evening I live in apartment housing, well it has a park and lot of space to walk around. I can come to your house and walk them around.
About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.
“Alex is the best. He stayed at our house while we were away for the weekend. Our dog, Luna, loved him from the first meet and greet (dogs know). And he was also great with our shy cats. He worked to keep with their routines, walking Luna where she wanted to go, doing what she was used to doing. We look forward to having Alex back.”
About: In the past I had 1 childhood fur sibling (Yorkshire terrier) for 13 years. Currently I am dog mom to two fur babies. My oldest is a 6 year old 50lb pit mix and youngest is a 5 year old 175lb English Mastiff. In past years I ran an Airbnb out of my home in which I have hosted several dog guests with their human companions. My dogs are always excited to meet a new friend that visits. In the event a guest dog doesn't favor mine our policy was to keep everyone separate alternating food and bathroom breaks. My backyard is fenced with a six foot fence and the dogs can play or use the bathroom back there. My availability is currently fairly open as I pursue a new career working in the dog training industry. I'll take on clients in between my own education and training. My oldest dog, Rona is a 50lb 6 year old pit mix. My youngest dog Gemma is a 175lb 5 year old English mastiff. After 3+ years my dogs and I have had plenty of experience hosting dogs of all flavors of personalities. My back yard is fenced in and the side door that leads to it has a dog door. We typically have bathroom breaks every few hours or so until bed time. Upon arrival guest dogs and their human walk about the house and back yard to get the scents of everyone who lives within before re-meeting my dogs. I like to schedule a meet and greet before hand to see if all doggies will get along. I have discovered that some dogs are wary of large breed dogs. My Mastiff is VERY friendly and loves all dogs but unfortunately the love isn't always returned kindly.
About: I helped raise 3 dogs from puppyhood and cared for one senior dog and cat. The senior dog had major health problems, so I'm more than comfortable caring for pets with specific needs and health difficulties. I'm currently involved in volunteer work, and my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be available for the summer. Scheduling will be tailored around you and your pet's unique needs. As a pre-law student, I highly value and respect trust, safety, and boundaries. I promise to respect you, your home, and of course, your pet.

We have a very high needs dog with anxiety issues and Sharon not only was able to take the best care of him while we were gone but even became best friends with our pup. She clearly cares about animals and shows it. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her come watch our dog again!
Meghan was beyond amazing with our anxious dog and standoff-ish cat. Our dog seemed to attach to her right away and was spoiled with all the walks, belly rubs, and pets he could ask for. Every picture she sent showed a super happy, comfortable pup. Our cat even came in for some pets herself and gave Meghan some well-earned head butts. Meghan was perfectly communicative whenever anything came up and kept us super in the loop of how they were doing. I seriously cannot say enough good things. We are so glad to have found her!!
Cannot say enough good things about Keaton. They looked after our 3 cats for two weeks. They capably handled multiple different kinds of meds for each cat, made sure each had their different needs for playtime and feeding met, and did it all with so much care for each. They sent multiple updates every day throughout the 2 weeks, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away, knowing the cats were in such good hands.
Maria was so great! I loved that she wanted to do a meet and greet beforehand. I can tell Shiloh was well taken care of. Even when I got a little worried, she was able to quickly reassure me. I definitely plan on booking her again for my future trips if she’ll have us :)
Javien is amazing! He stepped in to care for our dogs for a few days at our place with barely any notice. Our dogs adored him right away! He also handled our dog’s diabetic needs, including insulin injections. Plus, he kept us in the loop with updates all day. We felt so confident that our dogs were in good hands, even when we needed a sitter last minute. We’re definitely going to ask Javien again for future pet sitter needs! Thanks, Javien!
Khariss was incredible, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was available for a last-minute dog watch, and from the start, communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful, which gave me real peace of mind. She genuinely cares about making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. My dog can be a little particular, but Khariss handled everything with patience and attention to detail. She kept me updated with photos and messages, so I never felt the need to check in. When I got back, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of, which says everything. I would trust Khariss again without hesitation and highly recommend her.
We returned to a happy home. Pongo and the house looked great. We appreciate Pond's care of both. The person who previously stayed with (dog-reactive) Pongo moved away, and finding someone new was stressful, but Pongo took to Pond immediately, and Pond's communication and demeaner made us much less anxious about our trip. I hope to book with them again.
Ryon was amazing with our kitties! We cannot recommend Ryon enough. Going out of town is always stressful with 4 kitties at home, but Ryon eased our anxiety by sending daily photos and detailed updates, which was truly appreciated. Ryon clearly spent quality time playing with and comforting our pets. We returned home to four happy, healthy and relaxed animals. Professional, punctual, and a true animal lover, thank you Ryon!
Ella was a great house sitter with our two dogs and cat! She provided regular updates and photos, and the pups seemed to enjoy hanging out with her. She was able to accommodate a last minute medication request after our dog was put on antibiotics. House was in great shape when we returned. Would book again!
