Ms. Maggie provided exceptional pet-sitting services during a recent unforeseen circumstance, When my granddaughter unexpectedly canceled. I was fortunate to find Ms. Maggie available to care for my dogs for just over a week. She demonstrated remarkable dedication by rarely leaving them unattended. We maintained daily communication, and she kindly provided me with photos of my pets. Additionally, she thoughtfully performed household tasks such as vacuuming to ensure my return to a clean home. I highly recommend Ms. Maggie's services and intend to use them again in the future.

About: Hi! My name is Mariaeva, but you can call me Eva! I have two dogs of my own. A 10 year old sheltie mix and a 5 year old aussie mix. I adopted the aussie mix when he was only a few months old so I'm familiar with puppies, their mess, and the high energy. My oldest, the sheltie mix, takes anti-seizure medication and he's been on it for a few years. I am now able to identify the signs and symptoms of when a seizure is occurring and how to handle emergency situations that require an action plan. I understand every dog is different and I'm a quick learner so I'll provide the best care needed for your fur baby! I also know the importance of administering medication on-time everyday to stay on schedule! Since my dogs are crate trained I understand how needed is good walk or play time after a long time of being cooped up. I have also found different ways, games and more, to stimulate them inside the home. I've even trained them to follow a few commands and tricks, I'd be more than happy to share these with you! A few years back, I adopted a cat and fostered him until we found him a home. Since then, I fell in love with cats and started taking care of my friends/family's cats to learn more about them. I plan to eventually get a cat of own to provide someone a forever home. 🐱 I am looking for a full time job, since I just relocated to the area so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. My profession as an Executive Assistant taught me all about the importance of lists, reminders and excel sheets. The more instructions you provide to take care of your fur baby, the better! PS: I also speak Spanish for those bilingual pets, like my own! :) Since I'm currently applying for jobs my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm also a huge planner so communication is key when it comes to my schedule. Since every home and every pet is different I trust that you'll be able to provide me with details on what's required of me to take care of both your home and your fur baby. I'll make sure to ask as many questions as needed to make sure I provide the best care.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always had cats in the house, along with a sweet family dog. From a young age, I learned how to care for pets with love and patience, whether that meant cleaning litter boxes, going on daily walks, or giving lots of snuggles and attention. That early experience made me confident and comfortable handling pets with all kinds of personalities. Throughout high school and college I regularly walked, fed, and stayed overnight with neighbors’ pets including long stays with dogs and puppies. One of my longest pet sitting jobs was over two weeks, caring for two dogs (including a high-energy puppy) and making sure they got outside for walks multiple times a day. At home now, I have a playful cat named Ash who loves birdwatching and nap time, and we’re currently fostering an adorable kitten named Winnie. He’s full of curiosity and affection and has been adjusting well to life with Ash. It’s been so fun watching their personalities develop and helping them bond. I’ve also looked after pets with different energy levels and needs, like energetic dogs and shy cats, making sure each one feels comfortable and cared for. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with plenty of attention, affection, and respect for their routines. I recently graduated from the University of Maryland and am currently applying for full-time jobs, so I have a very flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine right now. I’d love to spend my time keeping furry friends company while I job search! I’m available for daytime visits, walks, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs. I treat every pet and home with the same care I’d want for my own. During the first meeting, I take time to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me, building trust is so important. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow routines closely, create a calm, safe space, and stay attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I also keep you updated so you always feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I have taken care of numerous animals over the years and I love them all. I have cats and dogs and they don’t mind each other at all. I have helped my friends and neighbors with pet sitting while they have gone away. I am currently free to help care for your animals throughout the week and when you are away for trips. I am very flexible and look forward to meeting everyone. I have a fenced in yard and a fenced in dog run. My dogs are friendly and I have a crate for my dogs if needed.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, backyard chickens, turkeys, and goats, and I'm ready to take care of any and all other animals and reptiles you might have; plus, if you want plants watered, I do that, too! I have three giant dogs at home, a cat pulled in from the wild, my own chicken flock, and a turtle (not to mention the feral cats we feed), so I'm used to big personalities and a lot of work each day. I do have a part-time job, but that's only on Mon/Wed, and I leave for long lunches to take care of animals, check outdoor waters, give a little exercise, etc. I try not to crate unless the owner has requested it and then only if I'm at work; I don't mind animals on furniture or the bed with me, but I always ask the owners in case the pets are trying to be sneaky when they're not allowed! I make sure the food and water bowls stay clean (please let me know if there's a specific sponge you use for pet bowls!) and I make sure to play with the animals at least twice a day until they start to get tired. For outside animals, I keep a watch on their water and food and clean their coops/runs/etc., and in hot seasons I like to mist them with cool water from a hose, just in case.

About: I’ve dog sat and raised my terrier for the past 10+ years! I love dogs, and my terrier lived to almost 14 years. Now I’m looking to walk dogs mainly since I miss it! I am fluent in english and spanish. I work full time Monday through Thursday. I am available to dog walk any time Friday through Sunday or the occasional weekday evenings after 7 PM. I have experience walking both small dogs and large dogs. I am comfortable taking them around neighborhoods, to parks, or even taking them for a run!

About: I have a variety of pet care experience, from a board in kennel worker, to a kennel technician at a humane society, and my own lived experience with 5 different dogs across my lifetime. I've never met a dog I couldn't get along with! I'm patient and give all the care I can to any animal in my care! I'm a graduate college student so if you need pet care during the week, it will have to be after 5 or before 9. The weekends are completely free and I would be happy to watch your dog or cat all day!! When I'm taking care of pets, I follow whatever routine is given to me as closely as possible. This includes regular feeding, letting dogs out to the go to the bathroom or play, and sitting with the dogs as much as I can, whether that be in the same room with them, or actively petting and playing with them. I try to be as present and caring as possible and I will follow any rules you have for your animals!

Sam has a calming effect on all of our animals. Sam takes special care and patience with our dogs, and they shower him with snuggles and tail wags. Sam has had several years of experience working with dogs and just seems to be able to read their energy well. I would trust Sam with my animals over taking them to a pet sitter or some other doggy daycare.

Gemma has always had a special connection with animals, who seem comfortable and confident around her. She is loving and perceptive of individual pet needs while being very responsible, organized, and meticulous in everything she does. Gemma is also a student-athlete, so no pet is too large or too energetic. She has cared for several pets over the years, raised our 9-year-old dog from a puppy, helped take care of a neighbor's elderly/special needs dogs, and even goes out of her way to care for local wild animals (from frogs and birds to foxes and deer). Gemma is reliable and honest and often goes above and beyond what is required.

Kerry and her family are so amazing and sweet to any mammal large or small! They love everything on four legs and will love and protect any pup like it’s their own.

Elizabeth was attentive to Daisy's needs per the 'care & feeding' instructions we provided. Just as importantly, she treated Daisy as if her own, which was apparent by Daisy snoozling on Betsy's luggage as she prepared to leave.

Very pleased with Alexa! She stayed with my dogs for almost 2 weeks. They were well-cared for and she left the house looking just like I left it. Would definitely recommend and have her housesit for me again.

Alecia was professional and kind. She wanted to understand our dogs and how we cared for them in order to give them the best experience in our absence.

Maggie was great with our two dogs. She gave medication on time and always communicated with us. She went the extra mile to get up in the middle of the night to take our dog who was sick outside for another walk preventing any accidents. Would definitely recommend Maggie.

Elena house-sat our two dogs while we were away on our honeymoon for just over a week. She did a fantastic job, sent plenty of updates, pictures and even took our dogs hiking for a day. She was perfectly respectful of our home and it was absolutely spotless up on our return. I can't recommend Elena's services enough! She went above and beyond what was expected and we would gladly book again.

Ashley was a joy to work with from start to finish. She responded promptly to my initial request and handless the process of securing her services in a very pleasant and professional manner. The in-person in meeting couldn’t have gone better! She was attentive and open to our questions, making sure we had relevant information, but also giving full consideration to our needs and special requests. Most importantly, our two pups took to her very easily, which definitely put us at ease. While away on vacation, Ashley consistently provided updates and pictures of our fur babies. It was clear to see that they were being treated very well by her. Ashley was even willing to accommodate our delayed flight arrival. I would enthusiastically recommend Ashley for your pet care needs and will absolutely use her again!
