Dog Sitting in Columbia

“Jessica took exceptionally good care of my girls❣️Even though I didn’t ask her to, she did poo patrol in the yard and swept floors. She is a delightful young lady who pays attention to every detail.”

“Yutong did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 Shiba Inu boys while we were out of town for a couple of days. He was incredibly responsive, sent loads of photos and videos, and made us feel very sure that our dogs were happy and well cared for. We will certainly be reaching out to him again to take care of our dogs!”

Andrea S.

“Destiny was great with our dog! She was punctual and playful for his drop-in visit. She provided us with peace of mind and some awesome photos of playtime! He already looks forward to her next visit!”

Diana G.

“Delany is responsible, attentive, and communicative. She cared for our two cats for an entire week, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She was also patient and thoughtful when an urgent issue came up and we couldn’t be reached right away. We truly appreciate her and would absolutely recommend her.”

Esther K.

“Taresse was wonderful!!! I was so anxious about leaving my senior cat Martha for a long international trip. Taresse sent me wonderful photos of her every day that put my heart at ease. I will definitely be requesting her care for Martha again. Thanks!!!”

Dana K.

“Abby did a great job with our dogs. Our little guy is fickle about people and he warmed right up to her. Reliable and friendly, we will definitely be using her again.”

Heather M.

“This was my first time using Rover & first time using someone that was family/friends to watch Elli. Couldn’t have asked for a better choice than Nia! She was exactly on time with each visit and sent the best pics. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

Morgan C.

“Victoria is amazing!! She is always on time and gives detailed feedback of the visit along with great pictures of our cats. One of our cats is very shy (will not come out for almost any visitor) and she comes out for Victoria every time. This is a huge indicator that Victoria is amazing with animals and that animals love her!”

About: I enjoy jogging and running, and I’d love to help your high energy dog get the exercise they need in a fun, healthy way. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage, from energetic puppies to seniors needing extra patience and support. I’m experienced with administering daily medication and caring for dogs with special needs, like vision loss and hip dysplasia. I’m very active, so I enjoy keeping dogs engaged with walks or runs—and I even trained my own husky to safely pull me on roller skates. I treat every dog like my own, with full attention, consistency, and lots of care. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I already look forward to getting outside after 5:30pm for walks or runs, so having a dog to join me just makes it even better. On weekends, I’m usually active and have more flexibility, which means I can spend extra time on longer walks, drop ins, and giving pets more attention. It doesn’t feel like something I have to squeeze in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. For walks and drop ins, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, not just the basics and out the door. I’m also mindful of keeping your home tidy and secure while you’re away. Overall, my goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and cared for, and for you to have total peace of mind.

About: I bring a mix of playful energy and reliable care, so pets get both attention and consistency while their owners are away. I naturally tune into each pet’s personality and demeanor—whether they’re excited, shy, anxious, or somewhere in between—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable and understood. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs up to 15 years old, and I’m comfortable following clear instructions for feeding, litter care, and medications when needed. I pay close attention to routines and small changes in behavior, especially after I’ve spent a visit or two with a pet, which helps me quickly pick up on what they need. And yes, I fully believe in zoomies, cuddle breaks, and earning a pet’s trust through snacks and patience. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I’m able to provide consistent drop-in visits and walks while maintaining a flexible schedule that allows me to be reliable for pet parents. I focus on consistency, attentiveness, and following each pet’s routine exactly as provided. During walks and drop-in visits, I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so I can respond appropriately and keep them relaxed and secure. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, leash safety, and home care details, and I take my time getting to know each pet so I can notice what is normal for them and quickly spot any changes. My goal is to build trust through calm, reliable care so pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away.

“Will definitely be reaching out to Katherine in the future if needed! She was great about sending pics and letting me know how the visits went. Thanks Katherine!!!”

“Emma made sure that our three cats had food, water, and a clean litterbox every day that we were away. She also played with any kitties who came out to greet her.”

Kristine B.

“Emma has been wonderful with our dog Melo. She is so caring with her. She is great with communication and flexible. I would highly recommend her!”

Natalie S.

“Ashley is always so seeet and caring for our babies. I couldn’t imagine anyone else there with them. I would unquestionably recommend Ashley to be there for your babies too.”

Christophe H.

“I was so worried about leaving my cat for a week for a necessary trip. I took her in as stray and I had never left her alone before. However, Angela is a "cat whisperer" and after a few day melted my little kitty's heart. Normally my cat will have absolutely nothing to do with strangers, hides, and may even hiss a little if a stranger tries to pet her. The videos I received let me relax and enjoy my trip without worrying that my cat was stressed out or panicked when I didn't come home. Angela was also very diligent in following directions for my fur baby as well and also watered plants so I didn't have to come home to brown plants!”

Pamela S.

“Krysta took fantastic care of my girl while I was at work. I have a senior dog with a host of challenges, and Krysta showed her the love and patience she would her own dog. She sent pictures of my dog after each visit - which I really appreciated! Krysta is trustworthy, reliable and flexible in her scheduling and I would absolutely book with her again.”

Kristen M.

“Duke and i just started working with Joanne and she has been great. Highly recommended. She is great with my bulldog duke and everything has been smooth”

Ryan F.

“Pam did a fantastic job with our girls. She came to meet them during the meet and greet and even stopped over again to make sure she understood what she needed to do right before the trip. She followed their schedule perfectly and spent a lot of time engaging and playing with them. I could tell immediately that my girls trusted her. She sent lots of pictures/videos and was detailed in her drop in update. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to have her care for our girls again.”

About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.

“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”
