About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I have taken care of my family and friend’s pets on occasion. I currently own two cats and am experienced in administering pills and liquid medicine to them. I am an elementary school teacher so I have all summer to give love and care to your pets! I can’t wait to meet them! The care and safety of your pet is extremely important to me. I provide that care in your home, yard, or neighborhood where your pet is the most comfortable. Please make me aware if there are local pets or people that they do not get along with.

About: I’ve had dogs and have been taking care of family and friends dogs and cats for over 10 years. My family has had healthy dogs and dogs that have had medical issues over the years, and so I’m knowledgeable in looking after a dog who has undergone surgery, or who requires special care due to paralyzation. I love all animals and friends have relied on me to house sit their dogs while they go away on trips or vacations for multiple days at a time, sometimes with more than one dog at a time, or additional pets as well, so I’m very experienced in addressing each animals needs, while also sending “daily nanny cam” updates to family and friends so they can see their pets during the day and know that they’re happy and doing well. I work full time, but work from home two out of the five days, so I would be able to take your dog on multiple walks during the day, come over and stay with them for a few hours to play, or even house sit them for the day or several days if you’re going away for a trip. If they require special medication I just ask that you leave me their vitamin/mediation schedule and will administer based on your instructions. My family dog loves to cuddle with me in my lap and when she’s not allowed on the furniture, I’ll often sit on the floor with her so that she can snuggle with me. On the days that I work from home, I would be happy to stay at your home with your pets making sure their needs are met. I love my family pets and will give your pets the same love and affection that I give mine. My animals are allowed to snuggle with me on the couch or on the bed (unless you don’t want them on the furniture/ there are behavioral issues I need to be aware of, I would have them do the same thing). I walk my family dog in the afternoons and play with her throughout the day with dog toys and fetch, but will monitor if it looks like the toy is coming apart and could pose a risk to them. I would follow all instructions left when it comes to house sitting/walks/or day sitting, and would ask for you to share any behavioral issues or triggers with me in advance so I care be aware of them prior to taking your pets out on walks or just in day to day interactions. This allows me to be aware for your pets safety and the safety of any other animals we could come around. If a dog doesn’t seem friendly while we’re on a walk, I would remove your dog from that situation to try and keep them as safe as possible. I will also always reach out to contact you if there are any issues or questions I have about daily activities, medications, etc. When I dog sit at someone’s home, I recognize that I am really there just to look after their pet, so I don’t leave the house for extended periods of time and will actually put on animal shows for the pets to watch, including planet earth, or Disney pet movies. I also like to send updates that I called “nanny cams”, which are photos or videos of your pet playing or just hanging about so that you can have peace of mind that they’re happy and you can also see them while you’re away and receive updates. I will always communicate with you very openly to ensure you have peace of mind while I’m taking care of your pet.

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our furry children. The girls loved their time with you and it made me feel so much better to have a responsible and loving dog sitter!”


“Julie was absolutely incredible watching my dog over the weekend. She continuously updated me and sent pictures, and she was able to pivot, accommodating any changes I needed. Julie also provided me feedback on how my dog did and offered suggestions to help with his puppy behavior. I cannot express how great she was and I hope to use her again in the future!”


About: Do you ever hear someone say they have been caring for animals their entire life? Well for me, that’s actually true .My family has a boarding kennel that was opened the year after I was born; and it’s where I’ve spent a lot of my life. Additionally, with many years of vet tech experience and a natural passion for caring for animals, I also have a knack for picking up on illnesses. Treating your animals like my own is my biggest goal, and I will do whatever is necessary to make them happy. Very comfortable giving medicine, including insulin or other injectable medications. Animals are a passion of mine and my years of experience allow me to be knowledgeable on many different aspects of pet care. I work full time but I my schedule is pretty flexible, and can be managed to fit your pets needs. I can provide windows for drop in visits. My pet sitting services are tailored to fit your pets needs. I can walk dogs or let them out in a fenced in back yard. They are never left unsupervised while outside and prefer to use a leash if you do not have a fenced in backyard.

“We are delighted by Amber who watched our pup Oxford this past weekend. She was extremely proactive with her questions and willingness to come for a pre-visit to meet him beforehand. She stayed at our home from Friday night through Sunday and left our place spotless. Oxford seemed to have a great time with her and Amber was communicative even with our spotty service. We will definitely have Amber back to watch Oxford and are happy to recommend her.”


About: I'm very patient, having owned both cats and dogs throughout my lifetime. Have dealt with both from the puppy/kitten stage through old age/end of life. I am semi-retired and available for a wide range of time that can satisfy any work schedule or vacation plans from clients. I enjoy going to the gym and taking walks to remain active so I am flexible around any schedule as needed. I am willing to walk, feed, or even stay over night to be with your pet. I am not currently willing to keep a pet at my home.

“Meghan did amazing as always! I have just adopted a new friend from the Humane Society. She is incredibly knowledgeable and was willing to help monitor my two dogs together as they are still new. Along with caring for the medical needs of my new baby, She encouraged the loving dynamic of my house and has made it even better!”


About: I've been pet sitting for many years and I have experience in many different ages, breeds, energy levels, etc. I've always been naturally drawn to dogs and vice versa. I'm an active college student looking for some pups to take along on my daily walks and runs, but I can also provide regular care like visits throughout the day for those with long work days and out of town trips :) I am a college student finishing up my Junior year in May, leaving me with plenty of free time in the summer. I work part-time as a personal trainer so I have a flexible schedule that is under my control. I am often available on short notice :) I have one small dog (my childhood dog that I stole when I went off to college) that becomes best friends with every dog she meets, but she stays with my parents in Ocean City when needed. I've stayed in many client's homes before and I always enjoy the down time with the pup(s).

I love animals and don’t mind watching any pet. I work from home I have nothing but time and attention to give and when I am working I make sure all the animals are good. I wake up every morning 7 am let everyone out and feed them then feed myself then let them out again make sure they water all day long and plenty of toys.

I’m currently working on a volunteer basis so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets. They will receive my undivided attention and care. I am flexible and understanding. Before I meet with your pet, I’d like to have a discussion about their routine, personality and training so I can best meet your family’s needs.

“Nicki (or Nicole) took care of my little dog while I was in the hospital and now as soon as Pearl hears her voice or sees her she goes running to Nicki wagging her tail like it’s going to win her some money lol.

I’m sure you would not be disappointed!”
