“Autumm took great care of Cadu 🐈 she let me know every time she checked in on her and kept clear communication. I would recommend her 100% 🙌🏼🐈💚”
“Chrissy was awesome! She came to the house to meet Bolt and was genuinely happy to meet him. She was extremely outgoing and bubbly and answered any questions I had. She took a bunch of pics during her walk and kept in communication during my trip. I would highly recommend her!”
“Title: Amazing Care and Attention to Detail! Review: From the very first meet and greet, Kyra made a fantastic impression on both us and our pups! She has a warm and caring energy that our dogs picked up on right away. Our husky, who loves attention, was thrilled with the scratches and pets from Kyra, and my shy little puppy, who’s usually reserved with new people, even warmed up to her quickly. Kyra's check-ins are thorough and filled with thoughtful updates, which gives us peace of mind knowing our pets are in such caring hands. If you're looking for someone who will spoil your dogs and treat them like their own, Kyra is the perfect choice!”
“Thank you for your assistance!”
“Vita was very professional and courteous. She went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were taken care of. Would 100% recommend for a home visit, especially for dogs that require a little extra care and attention.”
“Katie was so awesome taking care of Cooper and Sophie! She took our request on the day before we had to leave and she was so easy to work with. She put a normally anxious dog dad at peace immediately with how she was able to easily befriend both of our dogs and was instantly chilling with both of them. She was right on time, the pics of the dogs were comforting, and the dogs both looked happy and at peace. I recommend her for anyone that’s looking to have their dogs watched and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
“Raechel was amazing! She took great care of my cat, Couscous. She went above and beyond, played with him, gave him all the extra attention he needed. She sent me regular updates with pictures and notes, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Couscous was happy and well cared for. Thank you!”
“Kathleen was terrific with Miles, appreciatively followed all instructions and was very communicative. Looking forward to booking with her in the future!”

About: I’ve owned cats and dogs since I was a child, and growing up I frequently sat many of the neighborhood pets. I also worked as a sitter for the Guide Dog Foundation, where I learned official training and handling methods for puppies and dogs. I feel confident to safely and lovingly care for any pet, and maybe even help improve their behavior. I am a student with a lot of virtual work to do, so I am very flexible and would love to hang out with your pet and keep them company. Some of my weekends are busy but I can easily work regular weekdays. I do not currently have any pets in my home so your pet would be the only one. I am very respectful of other peoples homes and very careful to keep everything neat and tidy. I am also very aware of the various dangers to dogs and cats, and am always making sure there is nothing they can get into by accident or hurt themselves with.
“Katie was awesome! Definitely recommend her :) sent photos of our kitties always and followed our care instructions. Will book again!”

I’m happy to walk, play with, and make friends with any dog I can! I’m a full-time student at JHU who would love to fit a few walks and visits into my daily schedule while studying hard here in Baltimore! With at-home care, I am happy to provide the following services: I will feed your pet, administer daily pills, take them outside to use the bathroom, and play with them.
