“Abigail took such great care of my two floofs in the afternoons. They loved her! She was available last minute multiple times, took them on great walks and wore them out just enough for a great afternoon nap. I got comfortable enough with her that I didn’t even worry anymore and was able to focus on my work. Very kind and reliable sitter!”

“Nicole was absolutely amazing. So kind, thoughtful and attentive. We had to worry about nothing while she was caring for our babies. I would highly recommend to anyone and we will definitely be booking in the future”


“Lisa did such a wonderful job with our cats. We enjoyed having her over for a meet and greet, and she was very professional and asked great questions. During her visits she was very meticulous and responded so well to each of our cat’s quirky personalities. They were the calmest we have seen them after returning from a trip. We will definitely book again with Lisa in the future - and highly recommend others to do so! Thank you, Lisa”


“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 🌟”


“Sharmily was absolutely amazing! She came by a few days ahead of time and leaned about our cats preferences, asking thoughtful questions about their needs. During her visits she sent loads of photographs which were such a treat to see! And when we got scared that one of our cats might have gotten out she came for a special trip just to check on him. Thank you Sharmily for keeping our cat “kids” so well cared for!!”


“Mike was amazing with Scooby! He watched him for a couple of weeks and took great care of him the whole time. He was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and made sure we stayed updated every day by sending videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Scooby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover 🙌🏽”

We will absolutely book with Tandy again and highly recommend her!”


“Gregg was fantastic. He’s knowledgeable about animal care, he’s super nice, and worked well with all of the instructions we left. We were just grateful to find someone to help us when our regular sitter was out, but Gregg turned out to be 10x better than we could’ve hoped for.”


“Laura is reliable, punctual, and responsive! It eases my mind at work knowing that Laura is taking a good care of my dog. Most importantly, Laura takes the best photos of my dog! So, while my dog enjoys her time with Laura, I also get to enjoy all the cute updates! I highly recommend Laura!”


About: I have over 20 years of combined experience caring for both cats and dogs of many different ages, with some specific skills around training reinforcement for dogs. Growing up, I cared for my own cat as well as cats and dogs in the neighborhood. As an adult, I have cared for both cats and dogs and done extended house-sits for clients and friends with cats. I have my own dog, named Billie, who is an 8-year-old german shepherd/lab mix. I love animals of all kinds, and love to get to know animals and help them feel safe, cared for, and joyful/playful. I am an MSW graduate student and working part-time, and have a good deal of flexibility in my schedule. I have availability throughout the day for drop-in visits and walks, and morning/ weekend/ nighttime availability as well. My home has a fenced-in yard and is very safe and comfortable for dogs. I am conscientious and clean when spending time in the homes of clients. I will take great care of your home in addition to your animal companion!

“William is always prompt, reliable, and my cat really enjoys him. Use him as a repeat sitter for whenever I go out of town. He communicates effectively and sends multiple pictures so that I am at ease whenever I am away from my precious kitty.”

“I’m a return client and thankful every time Megan is available. I have no complaints. She’s consistent, provides great notes and photos and my cats are always fine when we get home.”


About: I’ve been an animal lover since a kid, and am excited to care for your pet! I’m a grad student in MD and am a proud pet parent of 2 Yorkie-mix dogs.

We are happy to include your pets into this schedule or add any additional care into this routine per your request and/or according to your pet’s needs. I have a large yard and 2 lovable pups that can keep your dog(s) company. We go on frequent walks and bathroom breaks around our quiet neighborhood and have tons of play space around the house. I am happy to honor any requests to care for one family’s pets at a time, and will absolutely treat your pet(s) as if they were my own.
