“Catherine did an amazing job watching my babies while I was out of town. I am so glad I found her on here! It can be difficult finding someone trusted that is also good with your pets. Catherine came right in and immediately my two dogs took a liking to her. Thank you so much Catherine I’ll def be reaching out again soon!”

“Kaylynn took wonderful care of our dog with twice daily house visits while we were out of town. She was great at communication and has a clear love for animals. Thank you Kaylynn!”

“She was super friendly and very responsive. Communication was quick and easy, and she made the whole experience smooth and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I am an avid walker and love spending time outside. I have cared for many of my neighbor's and family friend's pets and have lots of experience with hanging out and making pets happy! I have the weekend plus Mondays very free plus evenings the rest of the week or early mornings to go on walks. I am open to having pets stay with me as well. I live very close to nature trails and parks with plenty of sidewalks. My apartment is pet friendly but I will need client to bring their own sleeping and feeding supplies.
“Maria was so wonderful with our cat Lucy. Lucy is a bit shy but I could tell from the pictures and videos Maria sent me daily that Lucy was comfortable and having a a great time with Maria’s company. Maria was very reliable and even showed up for us on Thanksgiving Day. She sent me a report every day to let me know how the visit went and how Lucy was doing. We hate leaving our Lucy alone for a few days but it was a great comfort to know she was taken such great care of by Maria while my daughter had to go out of town. I will definitely use Maria again if we need a pet sitter in the future and I’m so grateful for her wonderful care of our sweet Lucy.”


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.
“Very good with communication, was on time, and even got my Mocha to play and gave her lots of cuddles and love! Absolutely adore Pond. I look forward to Mocha having future visits with him! 5 🌟”


“Responded quickly, pleasant and did well with doggies (I have one large dog and one small), they took to her immediately and I was very happy about this.”

“Sarah was great! I had a last minute cancellation from a friend who was going to watch my cats, and she was super accommodating and willing to come by. Even with the last minute booking, she was able to come over to meet the cats prior. She was super attentive to my cats and I’m grateful!”
About: I grew up with a high-energy Siberian husky and a large mutt (~80 lbs) who were both dog reactive. I learned how to handle them from as soon as I was strong enough to not get pulled into the street! I loved taking them on runs, hikes, long walks, and pretty much anything outdoors. I currently have a two-year-old golden retriever mix at home who loves people, playing, dog parks, hikes, loafing on the couch, and lots of attention (all of which I am more than happy to provide for her). I was recently laid off and am returning to school to get EMT certified soon, so I have a lot of free time to care for your dog! I have housesat for friends with smaller dogs in the past as well and would welcome the opportunity to housesit any size dog :) I am located near town center market in Riverdale Park and have a car. I'm currently in evening classes so other than that I have most weekdays free for walks at whatever time is most convenient for you. For housesitting, I would need time to attend those classes and walk my own dog but would be able to not leave your dog unattended for more than 2 hours at a time. I will be very respectful of your home and would happily attend to any plants you have as well (I enjoy gardening quite a bit). I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me in your house. I will also send updates at whatever frequency you prefer!
“Ashley was fantastic! She provided daily updates with tons of pictures and even came over before the booking to meet my cat/get keys. I could tell my little guys was extremely well taken care of!”

“Highly recommend, Tula! She took care of my three cats for a week — including administering meds 2x a day to one cat— and was very communicative and professional. I appreciated her photos and updates and that she spent time playing with the kitties!”

“Since the day I booked Camila, she was excellent!! I loved the fact that she asked if we could talk prior to her visits. It made us feel so good because she took that extra time to know more about the kitties. Our little fue babies loved her!!! We are extremely happy with her and, will absolutely book her again.”


“Brian took great care of Aslan. He carefully followed our instructions for Aslan's special food and medicine needs and was very gentle with our little old guy cat. 😊”

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.

About: Hi! I love all animals and pets! I primarily have experience caring for cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, birds, hamsters, hermit crabs, and horses as those are the pets I have owned growing up and through adulthood. Most of my care experience has been either for my own pets or for family and friends—all with glowing recommendations! I know basic AFA (Animal First Aid), however, I am not yet certified. I am confident caring for animals of all ages, young through senior. I can provide care for animals that need medications and those with asthma. I would love to take care of your fur babies! I currently work as a nanny to this sweet girl. She’s school aged so I mostly just handle afterschool pickup and care. My schedule may change once school ends late June, however, this can be discussed. It will most likely stay within the hours of the afternoon. My hours currently are 2pm-6pm every weekday. I do not work on the weekends and with afternoon pickup I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your fur babies! I am confident caring for all animals in any space. I am great at following directions, anything you leave will be followed to ensure your fur baby is well taken care of. I always make sure they are well fed, well maintained, and loved while their human is away. Each animal is different and the type of care given depends on the individual pet. All pets will be loved and looked after as if they were my own.

Sharmily is an excellent sitter! She is very reliable and doesn’t skimp on the updates and photos. Communication and handing off keys was also super easy both times I booked with her! My cat likes her a lot and she is a huge comfort to both of us when I am out of town. I will continue to book Sharmily when I need kitty coverage in the future, and would recommend her services to any cat mom/dad!

Kaylynn is amazing!! Bernard loved her and she sent me the most adorable photos during her drop in visits! I really appreciated how quickly she responded to me when I was on the hunt to find a sitter at such short notice! Highly recommend and will be booking with her again soon!

Alexis was absolutely amazing while we were out of town! She took such great care of Uno and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Uno was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!

Catherine did an amazing job watching my babies while I was out of town. I am so glad I found her on here! It can be difficult finding someone trusted that is also good with your pets. Catherine came right in and immediately my two dogs took a liking to her. Thank you so much Catherine I’ll def be reaching out again soon!

Ashley is a gem — she is consistent, thorough, thoughtful and always eager to go the extra mile. She not only developed immediate rapport with my mean old cat, she also takes plenty of photos and was able to water some sprouts in our garden while we were away. If you can book her, you won’t regret it!
