21. Claire W.

“This was our first time having Claire drop-in. She was on-time to meet with us & for the requested drop-in. She’s very responsive. Claire also provided updates with photos & had no issues. Look forward to using her again for longer trips.”


22. Liesa B.


“My beloved terriers are, unfortunately, double trouble, and I've been worried that I'd never find a petsitter willing to deal with them. One is a Jack Russell terrier (enough said!), and the other is some kind of chihuahua mix rescue. The rescue is terrified of everything and everybody; Liesa took special care to build trust and assure my rescue that she was safe. My rescue also refuses to walk in wet grass, and it rained the whole time I was away! When it rains, she holds her urine and does her business on the sly on a throw rug. Liesa dealt with the situation beautifully, changing out soiled rugs with clean ones at each visit. I couldn't be more pleased!”


23. Joana B.

“Joanna has been an amazing addition to our lil family knowing we can leave and our babies will be taken care of just as we would treat them. It’s been nice while on vacation not worrying about our babies.”


24. Kate J.

“Thank u for hanging out with them! And it looks like my long time regular tuxedo stray is back! So relieved to know he is alive after the winter storms! Do u mind filing up the metal food bowl in kitchen on floor near sink and fill up kibble from the boys container to go with the "smoothie" drink? And what is your venmo?”


25. Madeline K.

“I have known Madeline for about 15 yrs. She grew up across the street from our family. I have always known Madeline to be a responsible and trustworthy young lady. She always took great care of our golden retriever and cat for us when we went away on trips. We never had to worry knowing that they were always in great hands. Madeline always has a smile on her face and has a caring heart! I wholeheartedly recommend Madeline as a pet care giver, sitter and walker!”


26. Shelby B.

“Shelby takes great care of my dogs when she drops in. She lets them out, offers them water, brings toys and plays with them. She also helps keep an eye out for their overall health. I’ve appreciated her help over the last couple years with a multiple dog household.”


27. Michelle B.
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! She is absolutely amazing with dogs, and our big pup, Hazel, loves her. We’ve left Hazel in her care multiple times while traveling, and it’s been such a relief knowing she’s in great hands. She’s trustworthy, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


28. casey h.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and I’ve also taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I foster for The Rescue Haven My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the dogs, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them


29. Tyler D.
“Tyler pet sit for me for a long weekend. She was very responsible and was great with the pets (a dog, two cats and a bird).”


30. Brooke H.


“Brooke did a wonderful job with my pup. She gave me lots of feedback/updates and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”


31. Stephanie J.
“I have known Stephanie for many years, and she has always been an animal lover. She has owned numerous dogs and cats, and the affection she shows them--and that they show her--is as impressive as it is heart-warming. She is an excellent animal caregiver, and I have no doubt that she can be a great pet-sitter and/or dog-walker for you.”


32. Julia M.
“Best Pet sitter in Baltimore County, Maryland!! Was so sad to see her go, yet so happy for her new adventure. From pop in visits, overnight stays to week long coverage she was a godsend when caring for our babies was needed. Caring for our Senior adopted pup Precious was no easy challenge she took it in stride and was so patience with her and all her silly little antics of the older years clumsiness. Our full of personality Yorkipoo Teddy that craves attention and would not leave her side along with our two adorable cats that she has helped care for since kittens that our now 13 years old (one now requires daily insulin) that always try to absorb all the attention for themselves. Where we don’t have the most exotic pets, if it’s a pet I am sure she can handle it with all of her years and experience in pet care of various pets. Trust me give her a try, she will not disappoint.”


33. Luke d.

“He was on time and easy to contact!! Thanks!”


34. Marisha R.
“Mar has watched my pets several times and I’ve had no issues! She went out of her way to make my pets comfortable and I was able to relax while out of town.”


35. Sara L.
“Sara is a wonderful pet owner & has the biggest heart for dogs! As a child, she would walk the neighborhood dogs, free of charge, just so she could spend some time with dogs even though she couldn’t get one of her own. This brief story encapsulates the longtime love and care Sara puts towards pets, dogs especially. She will love and bond with any pup that comes her way!”


36. Keira C.
“Keira is terrific with our dogs. She keeps them active with daily walks, play-time and makes sure their care is always a priority. Her calm and gentle nature makes them feel so comfortable and both family dogs are always so happy when she is around. Watching Keira with her dog, Mila, makes it obvious to everyone just how amazing and passionate she is about animals.”


37. Karoline H.
“Karoline is a very caring and responsible dog sitter. I felt completely comfortable know she was looking after our special family member. Highly recommend her.”


38. Heavyn-Ley F.
“Heavyn-Ley is excellent with animals! She is a very loving and cheerful person! She watched our 7 year old cat named Chi Chi. She requires a lot of care, she gets an insulin shot once a day and is on a special diet. Heavyn-Ley kept her on schedule. And followed every instruction that we left for her. She also cared for our 2 year old poodle named Bennie. She made sure that she took him out 4 times a day and gave him his food/water and treats. She brushed him and everything! She is very professional and makes sure to treat your fur babies like they are her own!”


39. Jeffery W.

“Jeffery took really good care of my cats. He worked with them even though they can be shy.”


40. Meilyn W.
“Meilyn is an excellent caregiver. She fostered two bottlers kittens who were on four medications and hanging on to life. She nursed them back to life by bottle feeding them every four hours. Administered medication and love. They thrived more each day and were adopted into their forever homes.”
