Dog Sitting Ellicott City

“Did a meet/greet with Sophia before her drop in visit with my pups and she was great! During the drop in visit she did all the things we asked as well as updating us during her time with my pups. So glad we found Sophia and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”

“Krysta took fantastic care of my girl while I was at work. I have a senior dog with a host of challenges, and Krysta showed her the love and patience she would her own dog. She sent pictures of my dog after each visit - which I really appreciated! Krysta is trustworthy, reliable and flexible in her scheduling and I would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I’ve always felt a deeper connection with pets more than most people around me. I am a relaxed laid back guy that loves animal and animals around me always seem to sense that. I’m currently back home from college with all the time in the world to care for your pets. Im free pretty much until I go back to college when the next semester begins. I live in a big spacious family home with a back yard and a front yard. I also have a very friendly golden retriever. I have a trail in my back yard that leads to patapsco park for amazing walks and outdoor nature.

About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.

About: I have always been a dog lover so I will give your dog the love and affection as if they are my own. Currently I work at a Doggie Daycare and boarding so I have experience with all different types of dog breeds, I am able to distinguish behavioral pattern and provide the care that is needed. I aim to please owners by providing the upmost experience without any problems. I want to ensure the trust of every owner and dog to be able to build long lasting relations. I aim to give at least 3 walks per day to make sure there aren’t any accidents. I also plan on going to dog parks to give them their play time. I will make sure to give each dog treats for good behavior. I will provide daily belly rubs and cuddles that will benefit the both of us. My goal is to leave everyone satisfied with each experience so that we may continue to work together. I currently work full time at a Doggie daycare and boarding facility, which consists of being in a room with 20+ dogs, playing& cleaning up after every dog, also monitoring the behaviors or each dog and making sure there aren’t any altercations while in my care. My daily routine consists of taking dogs on walks before my shifts and taking them after my shifts, and while I am at work my sister often lets the dogs out for potty breaks. My first thing would be to make sure the dog is comfortable in my house, I will also make sure they are comfortable with my presence. I will try my best to make sure the dog makes no messes while I’m caring for them. I will always clean up after myself and the dog.

About: I grew up with a highly energetic German Shepherd as a teen and have lived with and cared for multiple cats as an adult. Aside from that, I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends, neighbors, and acquaintances for several years. More than anything, I find animals fascinating, and I bring curiosity and a genuine interest in each pet’s unique personality.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I’m currently taking a sabbatical from work so my schedule is very flexible. I can do house sitting any day of the week but walks and drop-ins are by arrangement only. When house sitting, I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible; same feeding times, same walks, same sleeping arrangements. Familiar schedules go a long way toward keeping pets calm and relaxed while their owners are away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and ask clarifying questions upfront so there are no surprises. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health, and will reach out promptly if anything seems off

“Jaeda continues to give excellent care to my dogs! She is very reliable and my dogs love her! I will be rebooking her when I need assistance!”

“I do not have the easiest cats. One is super shy and the other just tolerates people. Amanda did a great job with them! She patiently coaxed my shy one out and even got my standoffish one to play. She sent video snippets that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Thank you, Amanda!!”

“Christina was wonderful and so understanding of all the craziness she walked into with our dog. Very communicative and we loved to see our dog visibly happy in every photo we received!”

About: I have loved caring for dogs for many years. I raised a Mini Poodle from 2 months old through her entire life, taking care of everything from feeding and walks to training and playtime. I’ve also helped friends care for their dogs. I enjoy giving each pup attention, playtime, and lots of love! I am currently not working full-time, so I have plenty of time to focus on pet care every day. I am available for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and keeping your pet company. My schedule is very flexible, including weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your routines and care instructions closely to help your pet feel relaxed and at home. During visits and walks, I stay attentive and keep everything safe, and I always send updates and photos so you feel connected and at ease.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with a diverse range of dogs, from high-energy to older, sensitive, and stubborn. I’m well-equipped to handle dogs that require structure and consistency, as well as those who are nervous or hesitant to trust. I’m also comfortable providing detailed care instructions, including medication, and am adept at addressing changes in behavior or routine. I pay close attention to any early signs of issues, ensuring that small problems don’t escalate into more significant ones. I’m based in Ellicott City and have a flexible schedule, so I’m reliable for regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight care when you’re in a pinch. If your dog is anxious, reactive, or just takes time to warm up, I move at their pace. I don’t force interaction. I build trust first. If your dog is high energy, I make sure they actually burn it off, not just go through the motions.

“Rebecca was great. She went above and beyond and came out to see our dog during a massive snow storm. Would highly recommend.”

About: During the school year, I am an elementary school teacher and babysitter! As the year starts winding down into summer, I nanny and love to pet-sit for mostly the families I babysit for, as well as anyone with some sweet fur babies :) I have many years of experience not only with basic pet care, but with pets with specific needs and accommodations like timed feeding, medication, etc. I have two dog-like cats of my own, even though I’m a dog person at heart. I would love to care for your pets! I am a 5th grade teacher and nanny in the summer months. I have two cats of my own who I absolutely adore, but are very independent. I have lots of flexibility with my schedule over the summer and would love to hang out with your sweet babies! I am happy to stay with your pets at your home or come and go as much as they need to be let out or checked in on. I spoil my furry friends with lots of cuddles and pets, and long walks! Even my cat Cleo goes for walks and EATS them up!

“Stephani was great with my anxious shy dogs! My dog wound up needing medication in the middle of the week and Stephani had no problems pivoting to include that care in her visits. She gave lots of picture updates too! ◡̈”

About: I've had pets all my life and I'm starting to care for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different breeds and sizes. I currently work full time, I work 1 day remote at home and 4 days in the office. I will make plenty of time to be there for your fur baby though. I am very active, I go running, take long walks as well as hiking with my pup. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to have company. Any special needs, diets or behaviors I will need to know in order keep your fur baby happy and comfortable.

About: I have experience caring for family pets and helping friends and neighbors with their dogs and cats while they're away. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking dogs, providing companionship, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and properly giving medication when needed. While I do not currently own a dog, I have experience walking dogs of different sizes and energy levels and understand the importance of providing them exercise, attention, and safe handling during walks. I have two cats of my own, which has given me firsthand experience understanding pet daily needs, behaviors, and personalities. Through these experiences, I ave learned the importance of patience and attentive care to ensure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I recently graduated from college and will be starting a new full-time position in a couple of months. In the meantime, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is a great fit for me. I enjoy being around animals and providing them with reliable care while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping the space clean, securing doors and gates, and treating their property with care. To provide peace of mind, I send regular updates and photos so owners can stay informed about how their pets are doing.

“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”

About: I have been entrusted with the care of pets for 10 years, caring for animals of all ages, shapes, and sizes. Compassionate, patient, and kind, I believe I would be a great candidate to help care for your beloved pets. I look forward to meeting you! I am currently looking for full-time work but in the meantime, I have nearly full availability with the exception of Sundays (though occasionally, I can accept jobs on a case-by-case basis). I am well versed in proper crating, walking, and pet care. I understand how to read an animals body language in order to determine the best care for them. I am loving, kind, and patient. I believe all pets deserve tender, compassionate care.
