“Madeline did such a wonderful job taking care of our pups in our home for the weekend! She was super responsible and responsive and it was clear our babies had a wonderful time with her. We will definitely reach out to Madeline again for future dogsitting!”


“Sierra took excellent care of our fur baby TRUE🐶🐾! We were updated on all his walks play time and play dates with his new fur friends boarding with him for four days! I felt confident with our meeting with Sierra that True was in a safe environment and welcoming!”


“Katherine was amazing with my girls!! She was able to do a meet and greet before our booking and ever since was very responsive and kept me update all the time. At the time of her stay she was very respectful of our home, and took amazing care of my dogs. Definitely will book again!!”


“Michael watched our dog at our home for a week. He was very responsible and kept us informed when our dog started having behavioral issues. Michael was so patient while our dog was getting used to having a new sitter and us being gone. He tried different ways to get him to eat his food and take his medications. We were so thankful to have someone we trusted while we were away.”


“Nikki is fantastic and our animals love her! She is flexible and willing to work with your needs. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and freaks out when we leave with suitcases, so Nikki got to our house before we left and took the dogs on a walk so they wouldn't see us leave, which made a huge difference. She also sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. I'll be reaching out to her first for pet care from now on.”


“Grace was easy to work with and took good care of my cat and my kitten. She spent time playing with our pets, handled all the tasks we requested, and kept the kitchen neat. We returned to find our pets calm and happy. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.”


“Emily has been so helpful every time. I’ve had to reach out last minute, and she’s always so attentive. She communicated with us during our vacation, sent us photos and helped with some things around the house.”


“Pj took such good care of our baby for a whole week and we booked her last minute. She was extremely accommodating and our dog warmed up to her quick. We certainly felt like he was taken care of and in good hands while we were away!”


“Aryanna was wonderful. The dogs seemed to like her and were content to be with her. Especially the one dog who is very anxious about everything and everyone. Aryanna also took the initiative to take care of some of the chores such as taking the trash out. I really appreciated that. I would definitely rebook with her.”


“Emily did an excellent job caring for my dog and house. She was a fantastic communicator and sent me frequent photos of my dog to keep me updated on his day. She also left the house very clean. We have already booked her for another trip. I highly recommend Emily!”


“We’re so grateful to have had Fennel looking after Lucy. They were incredibly attentive and responsive throughout the entire time, and their updates gave us such peace of mind. The photos they sent were lovely—Lucy looked so content, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It meant the world to be able to leave the house knowing Lucy was in such good hands. We highly recommend Fennel to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and truly caring sitter—they’re truly the best!”


“Kerry did a great job dog sitting our two dogs while we were away for one week. Fortunately she was able to step in on short notice when our original plans fell through. She sent us pictures during the week and kept us updated every day. The dogs looked like they enjoyed having her around and we are sure they liked being able to stay home over being boarded. Kerry was also great about coming for meet and greet sessions before the actual dog sitting which made us more comfortable about using this service since it was our first time. We highly recommend Kerry and plan on using her services again soon!”


About: With a deep passion for animal welfare, I have developed a lifelong affinity for dogs. My household has always included at least one dog, and I have gained extensive experience in caring for them throughout my adult life. My children, now adults, grew up in dog-friendly households and have continued this tradition with their own families. I strongly believe that a home is incomplete without the companionship of a four-legged friend. I am well-versed in handling various breeds and sizes of dogs. Your dog and I will enjoy exploring the neighborhood together, discovering new sights and smells. On occasion, we may visit our local Starbucks for a pup cup treat, with your prior approval. We may also take a stroll through the nearby park, weather permitting. I understand the importance of providing dogs with opportunities to experience new environments and sensations. My ultimate goal is to ensure that your dog remains comfortable and stress-free at all times. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a meet and greet. I am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to provide pet care services for your fur babies. On Sundays, I am available anytime after 12:30 p.m., following church services. My residence features a fenced yard, providing a secure environment for my five pets. I diligently supervise them, limiting their time alone to brief intervals. We participate in regular walks, adjusted according to weather conditions. I prioritize their comfort, avoiding walks in extreme temperatures and taking measures to protect them from the elements.

“Christine was fantastic from the start! Extremely thoughtful and professional. The communication was fantastic, but most importantly, she took such great care of our babies while we were away. To have a trusted sitter, in your home, to give you peace of mind while away is priceless. Christine gave us that peace of mind!”


“Claudia was so helpful and communicative. She was very sweet with our rowdy dogs, and sent probably around 100 pictures over our 4 day trip. She gave us plenty of peace of mind while we were on our trip, missing our two dogs and our two older kitties. She went above and beyond and even brought in some unexpected packages for us, keeping them from getting soaked in the rain. Our dogs loved her, cant wait to book again!”


About: Growing up on a farm, care for dogs, cats, and other beloved animals is second nature. I was raised caring for the farm, worked in a dog kennel, have rescued two cats, and have dog sat, cat sat, and house sat for many friends over the years. I help my family with their three large dogs and my sister with her pitmix rescue, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I love cats. I work in the Hanover area, and my schedule allows for flexible mornings, a break in the afternoon, and available evenings. I am able to reliably care for pets in the morning and evenings and ensure a midday bathroom break Monday-Friday. I am available closer to Severna Park on weekends. I think quality time is imperative for our pets, so I make sure that they have plenty of time with me when their owners are away and prioritize their playtime and enrichment. For dogs, this means walks, playing with toys, or just hanging out (whatever your best friend prefers)! For cats, I reasonably lean in to their zoomies when they arise to help work off any energy, and then give them their space when they need it. I understand that everyone has different philosophies and concerns regarding their pets' care, and I make sure that my care matches the guidelines you have for your pet so their routine and care stays consistent even while you are away.

She always spends the extra time playing with them before and after she feeds them, and they're always happy when we get home. I'm a little bit of an anxious pet owner, and I've never worried about leaving my cats with Paige. Fully recommend!”
