House Sitting Columbia

“Michele was great and we'll definitely book again! She came and met my dog Jack when we requested to book her, and they hit it off immediately. She took notes about how we care for him and asked great questions. I had no worries going into our time away. Michele arrived on time, communicated well with cute picture updates and clearly loved on our dog as we would have done! She left our house in tip top shape too!”

About: With 6 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, I understand that every pet has unique needs. I've worked with my own rescue dog to improve her socialization and behavior through patience and consistent training. I'm comfortable with both large and small breeds, as well as reptiles, fish, and other companions. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable! Currently going to school full time so my entire day is free and scheduled around my classes. I like to spend a lot of my free time with the companions. It is the daily routine and necessary as a caretaker. I wake up and feed and potty breaks. Mid day before I go to the gym, go for a walk and playtime. Repeat when I return from the gym. And then at night time feed again and last bathroom break. Make sure they are always fed, watered, and have been exercised so that they are occupied and able to relax in comfort, peace, and security

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a child and my parents gifted me my very own dog when I was in elementary school. Jessie was my sole responsibility in terms of feeding, walking, and taking care of her. When I left my parents’ place I ended up adopting a cat who is now my family. My partner and I just adopted another cat this past year and are loving the two-cat life. I’ve also cared for my partner’s gecko in the past. I love animals and am so excited to care for yours! I work full-time but work from home Mondays and Fridays. I am always available in the evenings and mornings but anytime on Mondays and Fridays. I am careful with making sure animals warm up to me properly and receive the space they need. I have handled reactive animals before and it is something I am familiar with.

“Xin came on a last minute request and really helped us out! Gave meds to my dogs who were recovering from kennel cough and they really loved her. Thanks 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. -Only one dog at a time guaranteed. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3-4+ 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.

“Jen house sitted for us and watched our two pups for two nights! I’m usually a worried mama but there was absolutely no need with Jen! From detailed reports to lots of photos and videos showcasing how happy the boys were, we had it all covered. I cannot recommend her enough and would absolutely use her as our sitter again. We’re so happy and grateful! Puppy approved!”

“Excellent sitter! Brent took great care of our dog and hedgehog, leaving us with no worries as we enjoyed our family vacation. We will definitely book with Brent again 👍”

About: I have taken care of many different pets aside from growing up with mostly dogs. Other than my absolute love for animals, I am reliable and hard working. I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.

“Sylvia stayed at our home with our dog when we left town for a few days. She was wonderful with Orion and took such good care of our home. We are thankful for her!”

“Justin did a wonderful job caring for Queen and Isaiah! He sent daily updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. The dogs looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable snuggling with him—their favorite activity. We returned home to two happy pets and would gladly book Justin again. Highly recommend!”

“Emily was extremely professional, attentive, and caring with my cats while she house sat for me over the weekend during my trip to Maine. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing all four of my cats were accounted for, fed, and cared for, and I really appreciated the check-in photos and updates throughout the weekend. She let me know when they had breakfast, when she was heading out for the night, and kept their routine consistent while I was away. Emily was kind, friendly, and wonderful with my animals. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter — she did an amazing job!”

About: Hi, I’m Hannah! Over my lifetime my family has fostered over 50 dogs. While I specialize in hounds, I’ve had a wide exposure to many different breeds of dogs. I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility for several months before transitioning to becoming a nanny. While there I learned how to manage multiple dogs at once, bathe and trim nails, and how to support various behavioral differences. I have also owned 2 cats and have cared for many cats in my lifetime, max being 5 at a time all in the same house. I have administered medicine to both dogs and cats, having experience of caring for pets 1 year through senior years (16+). Our pets are like our family members and deserve the best care. I love to send updates on your pets throughout my time watching them as well, and will take plenty of photos. I am an eager learner as well, so if your pet has any specific needs I’m willing to work with you so I can best take care of your pets! I also have some experience with various reptiles. I’m excited to meet and support you and your pets needs! I’m currently transitioning careers, so I have full availability to stay as long as needed. While I have a few activities out of the home such as church and the gym, I’m mostly available. They usually don’t last more than 2 hours, so your pets will never be left alone long. I absolutely love to pet and play with various pets! Depending on the specific animal’s temperament, I’m flexible to play more, or relax with them. I can be adaptable for whatever care requirements your pets may have, whether it be medications, bathing, or exercise. While I don’t jog, I’m happy to take things at a leisurely pace. I also am very familiar with counter surfing, so I will be sure to maintain any pet proofing that the home may require. I can also send updates as frequently as you would like.

About: Hi, I'm Forrest! I' th dogs for most of my life ar a couple of Jarvis years of experien..ng and caring for cats, so I'm comfortable with both. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting for dogs up to medium size, plus drop-in care for cats. I know pets do best when their routine stays the same, so I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and litter or cleanup carefully. Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs a check-in with fresh food and water, or your pet just needs company while you're away, I'll treat them like my own - and send you updates and photos so you can relax while you're gone. I tend to prioritize my pet care before work, after work, and around bedtime. I make great effort in ensuring all pets are taken care 9f Currently I live with 3 cats and I assist with feeding, changing the litter boxes, and providing lots of cuddles. When I had dogs I loved playing with them and taking them out for walks. I treat every pet just like family

“Grace was an excellent pet-sitter for our 6 month old puppy. She was very attentive and accommodated some special needs (administered medication and woke up very early to take her outside). She left our house spotless and did a great job cleaning up any messes made by our pup. We would definitely book her again!”

Rebecca R.

“Anna did a great job with Oliver and Henry, they loved her! And we felt very comfortable with her watching them”

“Best petsitting experience we've ever had! Julion is communicative, responsive, reliable and a really sweet person. He took great care of our pets and home (and plants! )”

About: I absolutely love dogs and honestly think they are better than humans. I love discovering the unique personality that each dog has. I have owned dogs all my life and have taken care of countless friend's, family's, and neighbor's dogs. I have house sat many times, had dogs stay at my home for extended stays, and become the favorite person to most of my family and friend's dogs whenever I’m around them. I am home most of the time throughout the day and have the freedom to meet almost any need your dog will require. I have a 5 y.o. female golden retriever with a lot of love and energy and zero aggression. I can't think of a better way to occupy all of my free time than to spend my days entertaining your dog! I have all the time in the world to ensure that the services and quality of care that your dog deserves are met! I am available 24-7 to take care of dogs! The only commitment I have during the week is taking my kids to and from school and to their activities. Your Dog can ride shotgun! I will play with them as much as they need! I will feed your dog, go for as many walks as you need me to, take them out to go potty, and give them love and affection. I do have a crate if you would like me to crate your dog. However, I will be home the entire time and there really shouldn't ever be a need. I do have children so I do require that your dog is very good with kids. My kids are pretty calm and very nice to all animals. They love dogs almost as much as me. My Golden Retriever is high energy and very playful as well. So as long as your dog is ok with playing with other dogs then a great time will be had. I will accept any breed of dog into my home and care but I will not accept your dog if it is aggressive towards other dogs or children. I don’t care how wild and playful they are because that’s one thing I love about dogs! But if they tend to snarl and snip and assert dominance through aggression then I’m not your guy. I just want a safe environment for our pups to play.
