Pet Sitting Eldersburg

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Alyssa. She went above and beyond while caring for my pets — truly treating them like her own. Every detail was attended to — from feeding and brushing to giving them tons of love, attention, and playtime. It was clear she genuinely cared about their happiness and comfort. I came home to happy, well-groomed, and relaxed pets, and my home was just as tidy as I left it. Her updates and photos gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. She’s a gem!”

About: I grew up with multiple pets, including two cats in my childhood and a wonderful dog that I helped care for in her seniority, so I've been familiar with animals all my life. Currently, I own and aided in training a high-maintenance, special needs German Shepherd. He's a sweetheart, but he's definitely a commitment! Given his intensely anxious nature, he needs a patient hand to calm him often. He's also epileptic, so I am well practiced in attentiveness, administering medication, following specialized meal plans and the like if needed. I have also done pet and house sitting on many occasions, particularly for family and friends but for a wide variety of pets– from little dogs that didn't even reach my knee, to my own Shepherd, who stands just about as tall as my hip. I've house kept for up to a week, entertaining young dogs and going on daily walks, etc. I am always happy to be introduced to new little ones and have a high pain tolerance when it comes to their claws, so I don't mind when they get a bit rowdy, either! High energy or low, I will gladly make time for any fluffy friends who need a watchful eye. I am currently on track to earn a Bachelor's in the Arts from Towson University, which is about a 50 minute commute from my home. With this in mind, my current class schedule entails that Towson days are essentially unavailable; however, the rest of the week, I'm generally left plenty of room to take on pet care! Life is always busy, and while sometimes I wind up with too many commitments to do it regularly, I'll always make time for it when I can. Though my own home may not be an ideal place for another pet to spend nights due to my Shepherd's nervousness, I will gladly offer my time to visit others. I have previously found myself curled up on a couch with a pet I was taking care of overnight, or even falling asleep on the floor with them. So long as their pet parents are happy for me to do so, I will gladly stay wherever is most comfortable for the pet involved, and take food/water/sleeping arrangements where they are best suited. I also have a fair sense of direction, so I'm perfectly content on walks in unfamiliar places, especially when I have friendly doggos with me!

“Samantha took great care of my two cats over the weekend. I had peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She came to the house on time, sent me daily pics and updates. And, my shy kitty really seemed to like her!”

About: I’m an experienced animal caretaker comfortable with pets of all species, ages, temperaments, and care needs. My background includes training challenging dogs, caring for neonatal kittens, mucking stalls, administering IV fluids, raising poultry and small animals, and over 20 years of experience with dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I’m confident with special-needs pets, unusual animals, and complicated routines—and I’ll care for every animal with patience, attentiveness, and kindness. I work a standard 8 am - 4 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I am available to care for boarded animals in the morning before I leave and in the evenings when I return from work in those days, with the same diligence and love I give my own animals. For all other days, I am either off or working from home and I am generally available to provide care. If I am visiting your home, I would like to have a meet and greet with you and your animals before you head out of town to establish their normal schedules and routines. During appointments, I will give your animals the same love and care that I give my own. If you are scheduling to have an animal boarded, your animal(s) will be given their own room separate from other animals in the house, with direct access to a large, fenced-in yard, their own beds and towels, and constant access to water. Walks, treats, meals, and medications will be given on an agreed upon schedule. Potty breaks will occur no less than once in the morning, once before and after dinner, and once before bedtime. I do not accept outside bedding and all guests must be up to date on vaccines and treated for fleas and ticks prior to boarding.

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and fostering many dogs for local rescues, learning to manage everything from picky eaters to senior pets with mobility issues and other various medical needs. I also have experience caring for cats, parakeets, chickens, guinea pigs , anoles and fish I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I will do my best to match the routine you have with them to keep them on schedule and make sure they have fun and are comfortable while you are away. I can play, crate, feed, or give medications in the home. I want to match your routine with your pets as best as possible so they can feel comfortable while you are away.

“Riley was awesome! She came over a few days before to get the lay of the land and attempt to meet my cat (she hid and I still have no idea where she was hiding). Suzie did eventually warm up to Riley and even sat in the same room as her! I will be using Riley again!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Right now we have a mini doxie who is our love. We have a 4 year old daughter who loves her sister dog so much! So your dog must be good with kids! We love to take walks around our dog friendly neighborhood, we have sidewalks so easy to walk around! I have used Rover for my own dog and have had amazing experiences. I work from home and have 3 day weekends so able to be home a lot! I can care for your pet through out the day and weekend! We live in a townhome, no fenced yard but we take the dogs out in the leash. I would follow whatever directions you would like for your pet in yours or our home.

“Jess is wonderful with our 2 cats; And diligent checking our home when she comes. And we are so happy to get all the great communications and pictures! Thank you so much! We are so glad we found you to help us with “our boys”.”

“Lora was absolutely amazing. She kept in touch the entire time I was away, sending updates and pictures that gave me total peace of mind. I was gone for four days and never once worried about my pets. Dexter, Stark, and Hydro looked happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It made it easy to enjoy my trip knowing they were in such good hands.”

“Ryan is fantastic, and I highly recommend him. He came over for a meet in-advance, and said/did a lot to help us feel confident in hiring him. He was prompt, clearly loved our dog, played with her a lot, and took great pics (it helps that we have a gorgeous dog).”

“We had a great experience with Yeji! She took wonderful care of our cats and followed all of our instructions perfectly, including their different feeding routines. She was reliable, communicative, and made it easy for us to enjoy our trip without worrying about the cats. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely book with her again!”

About: All my life I’ve grown up around dogs, rabbits, fish, and most recently cats! So I’m no stranger to the cuddly, silly, and sometimes unpredictable behaviors pets can throw your way. I have experience volunteering at the Carroll County Humane Society working in the cat room to socialize kitties, and in the dog area providing them with enrichment activities! As a longtime pet lover and owner I understand that every animal is unique and has their own quirks and personalities, and I’m capable of learning your pet and giving them the best care I can! I always treat my clients homes and pets with care and respect. I’m sure to clean up after myself and the pets. I’m not just a pet sitter I’m also a house sitter so I’m willing to get the mail, take trash out, etc…

“Megan went above and beyond watching our animals! She quickly responded to our request to watch our animals and came over the same night to meet them. We got pictures everyday from Megan so we were reassured that our animals were happy. We would book her again for all future trips we take.”

Steve & Wendy N.

“Ember was so attentive and treated our kitties like they were her own. She also sent very thoughtful and thorough updates while we were away. I will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thank you Ember! ❤️”

“Amazing!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lauren! She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared for our cat. We appreciated the updates and photos—it really put us at ease while we were away.😊 I’d absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter. 10/10!”

About: Hello! My name is Kimberly. Over my lifetime I’ve had 4 dogs (Doberman, 2 Shih Zu's/Havanese, Pit bull and a Yorkie) a rabbit, cat, frog, and several goldfish. You name it, I've had it ;). I have a passion for animals so what better way to show my passion than by taking great care of them! I offer daycare, overnight stay, walking and more. I have a huge fenced in backyard for your pet to enjoy as well as plenty of space in my home. Let your pet become a part of our family. I've occasionally board up to 5 small dogs at once. I carefully match their personalities, supervise all interactions and make sure each dog has separate rest areas so everyone feels safe and comfortable. We are kind hearted compassionate family excited to meet your pet. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day begins with morning walks or playtime in the backyard, followed by meals and rest. Throughout the day, I provide multiple opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, and one-on-one attention. Depending on your pet’s needs, I include walks, grooming, training, and fun activities like fetch or tug-of-war. Evenings are calm and relaxing, with time for cuddles and winding down before bedtime. I stay flexible to accommodate your pet’s unique schedule, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared-for every day. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. In my home, pets are always supervised, with secure fencing in the backyard and safe spaces indoors where they can relax or play. I make sure all toys, treats, and equipment are pet-friendly and cleaned regularly. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs—while keeping your home safe and tidy. I always respect your property and your pet’s comfort, ensuring they feel secure and loved. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners. I provide regular updates, photos, or messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, healthy, and safe while in my care.
