“Casie bonded quickly with my fur baby. She normally takes some days to warm up to new people. I appreciated the regular, clear communication and photos. Casie also offered to pick up additional food for my pet when she ran out of one of her favorites. I was concerned about leaving her but it was clear Casie was taking time to play with her and connect. She seemed much more normal when I returned home this time than on most trips; kitty can be distant for awhile before letting me pet her.”
“What a wonderful caregiver you were Sarah. Chance was very grateful for your attention. When we arrived home we could tell she was a comfortable caregiver. He didn't miss us as much. Definitely will hire her again for sure!”
“Shannon is the best!! I was so relieved when I moved to Baltimore to find someone who is so caring and thoughtful to help me with my kitties when we travel. I’m so sad she is moving and can’t be my go-to petsitter anymore. If you can book with her, you will not regret it!!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with our dog Java. We needed someone in a pinch to watch Java for about a week and we are soo glad we found Jessica. She came over for a quick meet and greet and we knew it would be the right fit. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Hannah took wonderful care of my 2 furry family members. I received a complete report with photos for each visit. When I arrived home both dogs were happy and relaxed. I will definitely call Hannah again!”
“Alyssa was amazing! When I forgot to send the door code, she was patient, flexible and understanding. She was so sweet and careful with our pets- going above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. I think she truly loves animals and enjoys her time with them. She was wonderful and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If I could give more stars I would!”
“Lindsay S. saved the day! She came over on only 2 days notice & on one of the hottest days of the year. We had to keep our dog inside; Lindsay S. was prompt in arriving at his "dinnertime" to let him out, feed him & keep him company for the drop-in visit. She took great care with him & then sent photos on her own accord. That put our minds at ease until we could get home a few hours later. Well worth the (very affordable) fee & we will reach out to her again in the future, for sure! Thanks Lindsay S.!”
“We contacted Lindsey at the last minute to let our dog out while we were away for the day. She is so kind and sent cute pictures of our pup having a great time with her!”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 16 for neighbors and friends. I love spending time with animals and making sure they are as happy as they can be. I have a good work schedule where I am home at 11:30 AM so I can care for pets while owners are at work during the day. I will follow any instructions given from the owner as well as be attentive to the pets needs. I will play and make sure the pet is happy and calm before leaving the home.
“Hannah is amazing! She cares for our dog like one of her own while we are away! She is reliable, trust worthy and caring. She even brings in packages if anything is left out! Do not hesitate to contact her for all your pet sitting needs!”
About: With experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, and aquatic animals, I’m glad to provide care to the pets who complete your family! I’m located in Sykesville, MD, but able to travel in central Maryland to meet your needs. I'm available until the end of the summer, and available most week days. With a few days notice, I’m glad to provide care on weekends to fit your pet care needs. Safety is a priority, along with care and engagement. While caring for pets, I look out for their safety by keeping a watchful eye on them, and always ensuring they are in a safe environment.
“She’s awesome! She has huge passion for rescue dogs and made sure our rescue dog is as comfortable as she can be when we’re not home. Thank you! Our dog is so lucky to have you!”
“Samantha, thank you again for watching our baby, Dom while we were out of town! We are incredibly grateful for you and all you do for him. We love all the pictures and updates, too! Makes me happy to see he’s doing good while I’m away. Thank you again!”
About: I am a compassionate individual who takes pride in caring for any pet. I pay extra attention to their needs, and how they are handled. I am flexible because I am home from college for the summer. I do not have many other commitments, other than a few set vacations. I care for pets the way I am instructed to, because I do not want to overstep any important boundaries. Pets are important to me.
About: Animals have always been part of my life and caring for them comes naturally to me. I currently have two black cats who are my favorite girls. I’ve looked after everything from energetic puppies to older pets needing a gentler touch. Friends and family regularly rely on me for pet support because they know I’m responsible, kind, and truly pay attention to each pet’s needs. My goal is to always make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I’m available to help with morning, afternoon, or evening visits as well as weekends. I am available for overnight stays on a case by case basis! I pay attention to detail and will get to know and love your pet! I will always respect your space as if it was my own. I am in the process of getting settled from moving and currently unable to accept pets at my home.
About: I’ve groomed dogs for 7 years, including running a boarding and grooming facility for 3 of those years. I’ve also trained dogs for the past 6 years. Most recently, I’ve spent the last year working at a veterinary clinic, gaining hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. My well-rounded background in grooming, training, boarding, and veterinary care ensures every pet receives knowledgeable, attentive, and compassionate care. My life revolves around my passion for caring for animals and helping people build peaceful, thriving relationships with their dogs. My schedule can vary week to week and month to month based on training sessions, pet care appointments, and client needs. To ensure the best possible care and planning, I kindly ask that you provide as much advance notice as possible so I can reserve time on my calendar for you and your pet. I care for pets in their own homes, providing a familiar and comfortable environment. Safety is always my top priority. I ensure all gear is secure and properly fitted, and I follow any rules or guidelines you provide. On walks, I inspect collars and leashes for fit and condition. If weather conditions are unsafe, I switch to safe, engaging indoor activities to meet your dog’s mental and physical needs. You can trust that your pet is cared for as my own.
