“Sarah was fantastic! I was very at ease that I had to be away for 9 days and know that my Griz was well cared for with her staying in my home. 10/10 recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!”
“Jenni and Matt are the best! Our dog is very old (16), takes daily meds and gets stressed out very easily. Jenni and Matt took great care of him and sent tons of updates and pics while we were away, which made me stress a whole lot less as well! Thank you both!”
“Destiny is amazing!!! Benny was super loved and taken care of while I was away. She took great care of my home and kept me up to date with pictures throughout the day. I’ll definitely book again!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes and temperaments for over 6 years. Having two of my own rescue fur babies and helping friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that pets respond well to. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like my own—whether that’s administering medication, going on long walks, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I am currently in the process of credentialing for a full-time healthcare job, so I am available at whatever day and times work best for others! I am unable to have dogs at my home, but am happy and willing to follow any instructions you provide me for taking care of your fur baby in their home and environment! I have a car which I can transport them to fun adventures or we can hang out at your house/neighborhood. My 2.5 year old fur baby is also dog-friendly if you’d like your pet to have a dog play companion.
“Michaela was fantastic! Sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay and we felt so reassured knowing she was taking such good care of our dogs. House was so clean and pups were happy!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Kelsey! She is one of a kind! She took the best care of our two fur babies while we were on vacation and was always in constant communication with us about them! Her experience with dogs showed throughout the time she spent with them, especially with our Cattle dog! She always made sure our dogs had plenty of love and play time! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Rackeeem was amazing! He took care of our house and our furry babies (a cat and a dog). He is great with animals. My cat is a very shy one. He always hides when I am away. But somehow, after eleven years I have him, he said hi to Rackeen, and also played with him! I highly recommend him.”
“Sidney was amazing and so attentive to max and cookie. She was oving with them and kept us updated. Our babies fell in love with her instantly. She's officially a part of the family definitely our go to.”
“Savannah was phenomenal!!! She took such great care of our house and pets, regularly sending us updates, pictures, and videos. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her, and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Sara did a fantastic job csring for our boy while we were away. She sent lots of pictures and kept him engaged and accompanied, feeding him on schedule and giving him lots of love. 10/10.”
“Reid is definitely a wonderful doggie sitter! He sends pictures and updates regularly and our little lady, who doesn't trust most people, actually sat and watched a movie with him! So, he is A OK in our book!”
About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.
About: Pet care comes easily to me after a lifetime of caring for domestic animals, whether mine or someone else's. When I was young, my mom would leave me in charge of her newest orphan pets because I was the homebody kid. She always had one or more dogs and/or cats, etc. In the last 10 years, I have taken care of my children's pets and sometimes their friends' pets. I travel between my military children and do not have any pets of my own. I am currently in the Northeast Maryland area and am open to jobs in this location. I can care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, pigs, and fish. Responsible for locking doors, turning lights on & off properly, and keeping things fresh and clean.. I am respectful of other people's time and property. I tend to stay to myself and prefer to be quietly helpful. I am retired and receive retirement social security. These jobs help financially… between house and pet sitting for my adult children who live in different states.. I will follow your directions and treat your pet(s) with care, respect and gentle leadership. Walk and snuggle as they require. I will feed them to your specifications, use your preferred commands and snacks.
About: I've taken care of many different types of pets my whole life! I have years of experience with caring for my family dog, as well as my neighbors, friends, and extended family’s cats, dogs, and other pets! I've also personally had a gecko, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters throughout my life so I am comfortable with all kinds of pets! I am currently a college student on summer break so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! Weekdays and weekends I am usually available any time. I make sure your pets feel comforted and happy during each visit! I will ensure that your pet stays content, safe, and healthy while you are away.

Kellie K.
“Kellie is a natural around dogs. She’s great with all animals but her affinity for dogs is unmatched. It’s like they just gravitate towards her because they sense her positivity and charisma. She cares for any dog like it is her own and she’d be the first person I’d call if I needed my own dog cared for. I trust her implicitly. You will not be disappointed in the service she can provide!”

Fiona was awesome with our dog Dylan. She did a meet and greet a week before and then watched him for the weekend while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and letting us know how he was doing, which was awesome and when we got home, he seemed like a happy pup. Fiona kept our house clean and Dylan happy and loved while we were away. Can’t recommend her enough!
Last minute booking and was happy to have found Fiona. Now, ecstatic that I did !!!! She did a meet a greet for about an hour a few days before we left to meet us and the pups. Showed up on time on the start date, stayed in touch to make sure we were comfortable and was waiting at our home on our return date. Pups were excited to see us, but we could tell they had been just fine without us. Our home was clean and in order. Fiona....Thank You, Connie and I truly appreciate it.
