“Tanner took such great care of my cats! I My cats were very anxious since we just moved into a new place and Tanner was very patient and caring considering that they were very anxious. I will definitely boom Tanner again in the future!”

About: I am a young-professional living in Baltimore and ready to care for your pet(s)! I have a black cat of my own who I spend most of my time with, but love all animals. I have fostered cats and dogs with my family since I was in high school, grew up with a dog, and have cared for friends and family pets regularly. I work from home a majority of the time so my schedule is flexible and I can make it work for you and love your pets like my own. I am excited to walk your dog, play string with your cat, and ensure they are well-cared for while you're out. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Happy to check in mid-day during your 9-5 and on weekends! I aim to spend time with your pet and make sure they are comfortable and taken care of. I have my own cat and she has made it clear she is happy as an only-child, so I can't have other pets in my own house. But I am happy to come to you! I will make sure they have the food, water, toys, and pets they need until you're back. I know it can be stressful to leave your pet at home, so I will make sure they are safe and happy.

“Abigail has been wonderful. We booked her for check-in’s with our pups 4 days in a row and couldn’t be happier with her care. She made sure to give updates and send pictures throughout her time with the dogs and was very kind and communicative. Couldn’t recommend her more and we will definitely be inviting her to hang out with them again in the future :)”

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for animals — and just as many years as a family caregiver for my elders — I bring deep compassion, attentiveness, and sensitivity to every being I care for. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, birds, and even ferrets, and I currently share my home with my beloved 18-year-old cat, who requires medication, an inhaler for asthma, and thoughtful support for arthritis. This has given me extensive hands-on experience with senior pet care and animals with special needs. As both an animal and human caregiver, I understand how to create a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. I’m attuned to energy and behavior, which helps me build trust quickly and ensure every pet feels secure and loved. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs — with warmth, patience, and love. As both an entrepreneur and a family caregiver, I’ve built a flexible schedule that allows me to be fully present for the things that matter most — including caring for animals. Pet care naturally fits into my days, offering me joy, grounding, and balance between creative work and caregiving responsibilities. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and cared for in their familiar space. During drop-in visits, I make sure each pet gets fresh food and water, a clean area, and plenty of affection and playtime. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy, so I can meet them where they are — whether that’s active play or quiet companionship. For dogs, I provide mindful walks that are both stimulating and safe, making sure they get exercise, sniff time, and positive attention.
“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.”

“Julie did a great job taking care of our cat. She was prompt, reliable and came to visit when she said that she was planning to do so. My cat continues to really enjoy spending time with her. :-)”

Now that I live on my own in Baltimore, I miss having a furry friend around so pet sitting fills that little gap perfectly! I’m currently a full-time student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and my flexible schedule gives me plenty of time to shower your pets with attention, cuddles, and care.

Whether your pet is a couch cuddler or an adventure buddy, I’m happy to match their energy.

About: Hi there! I’m Kristine, a proud cat mom to my sweet girl, Pookie, for the past two years. I also cared for my ex-boyfriend’s cat for five years and often cat sit for friends, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of feline personalities. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, keeping up with their routines, or administering medications, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe and loved while you’re away. 🐾🤍 I’m a full-time student in my last year of pharmacy school and currently at clinicals from 8 AM to 2 PM. I’m home afterward and available for boarding every day. Your cat will get plenty of love and attention once I’m back! I always make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by keeping their routines consistent. I give them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, and I’m attentive to their eating, litter box, and medication schedules. I treat every cat like my own!
