“First time having Michaela check in on my fur baby. She was responsive to my initial inquiry, showed up as promised, and took good care of my cat while I was gone. Couldn't ask for more than that.”
“Kimberly is awesome! She always keeps us up to daye and send pics of our boys each time she drops by. You will not find a better person for your pet sitting needs!”
“Andrew is absolutely incredible!! We had to go out of town last minute and needed someone for our big rescue who still needs lots of training and care. His experience and general knowledge with all types of breeds made me feel so comfortable leaving our Millie in his care. He left great updates for every visit and ensured that she got good exercise and kept to her more recent training. Andrew will definitely be our go-to and on call guy for all stop ins and walks!”
About: Hi! I’m Charlie and I’d be honored to help you with your pet needs. I have fostered 17 dogs, mostly seniors, from mid-size to xl and a whole range of breeds, temperaments and quirks! I understand that each dog has their own unique personality and have become adept at reading dog body language and helping them feel safe and comfortable with me. I have had my beautiful fur buddy (pictured) for 12 glorious years, together we have gone through puppy socialization classes and dog obedience training, (not to mention a transatlantic flight, 3 house moves & 5 deployments). He is a 12yo German shepherd, who has taught me how to be a kind, patient leader and how to work with headstrong, intelligent dogs. In 2022 the universe decided we needed another dog and we ended up with Blitz, a Siberian husky that has had a very hard life, after the family we were fostering him for decided they didn’t want him back and we couldn’t find anyone in the market for a “husky with issues”. Growing up with 2 dogs and 3 cats I am most happy when I can share space with animals. I have previous experience with dog walking and house visits for cats. I would love to meet, become friends with and help out with your fur-friend and will take care of them with diligence, love and joy. I look forward to meeting your family! I am available for dog walking and house calls weekdays, between 9.30-3. Weekends and evening walks and house visits can be arranged on an individual basis. We live on 8 wooded acres, perfect for exercise and olfactory stimulation for your pup. I have two senior pups that are used to sharing their space with other dogs and two respectful children that love dogs whilst also being great at respecting their boundaries (they have experienced all manner of foster dogs with their varied personalities and needs). I can accommodate crating if necessary but as I am home most of the day it is unlikely they will be crated unless you specifically request it. I don’t have a fenced yard, so if your dog is an escape artist then our space may not be best for them, but for most dogs this just means fun stimulating walks, instead of yard time. We do plan to add a fenced area in the future.
About: I have taken care of other people's pets for 15+ years along with housesitting. I have also worked for Wag! (Dog walking app) for years and I have also worked professionally for Queen City Pet-sitting in North Carolina. I am energetic, outgoing, patient, experienced, adaptable, and passionate. I am also a professional contemporary dancer and teacher. I have owned dogs, cats, fish, birds, hermit crabs, and a turtle. I am friendly, reliable, punctual, and would love to take care of your dog! Let me know if you have any questions or anything else you’d like to know. My availability is flexible so any time you need me, I can help out. I also have my own car so transportation is not a problem. I have a fenced in yard. I also live close to a greenway for nice long walks. I can easily crate your pet if needed as well.
“We just recently moved from Florida to Maryland with no family or friends around and it’s so important to find someone you can trust to care for your animals. I can say confidentially that we have found that person in Megan! I cannot recommend her enough! She has watched our dogs overnight and has even done drop in visits for our cats. We are so appreciative of her help!!”
About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. I have also been the reliable one who can watch friends and families animals for them when needed! I am currently a stay at home mom so this allows me to have a good amount of availability to help care for your pets! My pets at home, minus our puppy, roam freely as they know where they can and cannot go outside. While inside they know what to chew on and what not to chew on ;-) but my puppy is crated during the day for short periods of time for rest and at night for sleep or if we are not home. I can crate your dogs too if needed. When walking I ensure all animals are on a leash to ensure their safety. When checking in on your animals, I don’t hastily approach them I tend to get on their level and allow them to come to me so they feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have grown up with dogs, specifically pit bulls and Shepard mixes. I have personally trained some of those dogs via training classes and personal information. I have dog sat for friends and family in the past, both overnight and for a few hours. I have experience with all dogs big and small! I can’t wait to meet you and your pups! I am a student that’s off for summer break! I am completely available at this time whenever you need me to take care of your fur baby! I am very flexible! However you wish you pet to be cared for I will do, whatever specific needs your pups need I will do. I will respect your home and leave the space as it was when I arrived. Cleaning up after myself and your pets.
About: I have worked at a dog boarding kennel/shelter for over two years where I have gained a huge amount of skills and experience caring for dogs. On a daily basis I walk, feed, medicate, bathe, clean up after, and cuddle with dogs of every size and temperament. Additionally, I've worked at farms and owned quite a few fur-babies of my own so I'm quite comfortable caring for all sorts of animals including cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, fish, chickens, parrots, horses, goats, donkeys, and more! I am currently on summer break and only working part time so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I will carefully follow any instructions you give me and can provide a huge variety of services from walking to bathing, playing fetch, cuddling, medicating, and more. I would love to help take care of your furry friends while you're away, and I will always make sure they are given the best care possible, and of course lot's of love.
“Melissa was absolutely amazing coming in to feed our 2 cats while we were away. She gave us the cutest photos to look at and make sure our kitties got the love they needed. Melissa was able last minute as well when we had an emergency. We will absolutely be using Melissa again when we are away from home. Thank you Melissa for taking care of our fur babies!!”
About: I used to work at a dog boarding shop. I've taken care of dogs big and small, cats, and even a couple of pet pigs. Unfortunately, we had to move to a different state, and I became a mom, but I've always missing working with animals. I live in a house with a backyard though it isn't fenced, so dogs will need to be boarded with a harness and a leash. I have two cats who do have their own room if they need to retreat to a more quiet space. I also have a six year old daughter who is my helper. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom with a child who does remote schooling online. I am available to pet sit in my home any days of the week. My only restriction is that I can only come to people's houses between 8am-4pm. I have a good sized backyard to walk dogs at. If your animal is used to sleeping with their owners, I have no problem cuddling up with your fur baby.
“Victoria did a fantastic job of taking care of our new cat. She took many wonderful pictures and videos of her visit. She was able to coax our shy little boy out and chasing toys. We will definitely be using her services in the future.”
About: I've had many pets over the years, from dogs and cats to other very exotic animals.

I'm currently a full time student with a part time job at a local ( dog friendly ) brewery. I have full availability to take care of your pet all day, every day. I have a very large open yard, however I never walk anyone's dog without a leash and full supervision. Your pets will be treated very well under full supervision and with any personal instructions if need be.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and i’ve always loved animals. Anyone who knows me will tell you that my dog is the only thing i ever talk about!
