“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
“An absolute pleasure to work with. Elaina did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and sent us pictures throughout the day. She also left our home very clean. I highly recommend and will use in the future.”
“Garrett was absolutely amazing! There is nothing better then having my furry babies at home and being so well taken care of! It has taken me a long time to replace my past dog sitter, but I have finally found someone just as picky as me! Garrett can put you in touch with me if you want more information!”
“Shania watched Gizmo for a few days and made sure all of his needs were met and sent me pics of a healthy, happy pup!! She also left my home immaculate. Would absolutely book in the future!”
“She was so nice and kind! I really appreciate her service and loving on my girls. She took really good care of them and she sent me pictures of them cuddling🥰 I would recommend her to anyone and will be booking her again in the future!”
About: I prioritize understanding animal behavior, which allows me to quickly pick up on your pet's needs. I know how crucial health is for pets, so I ensure they get plenty of exercise. With experience caring for both young and senior pets, I provide tailored care that includes training and gentle handling. As well as being accommodating to your special requests. Your furry friend will feel safe and loved in my care! I'm currently a student at SCF, and while my hours can fluctuate, I always prioritize my schoolwork and taking care of pets. You can count on me to be accommodating. I offer a safe, comfortable environment with a structured routine for feeding, exercise, and play, plus regular updates to owners. I also accommodate to owners special requests to make the experience more comfortable.
“Robyn is an extremely thoughtful and considerate pet sitter. She follows instructions completely and is very accommodating. I highly recommend Robyn and will call upon her services in the future. My fur babies were well cared for and happy & healthy upon my return.”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with Ryan! Thank you again for watching our boys. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and loving person to watch over your pups!”
“Tifawni took excellent care of our brood (2 dogs and 2 cats) and was professional and reliable. She was a life saver after our original pet sitter fell through quite last minute. She loved on our pets, was amazing with our anxious dog, and left our house spotless. Book her, she’s incredible!”
About: I love the babies and the old folks yelling, "Get offa my lawn!" I care for puppies who are at least partially housebroken (tell me your style, and I can adapt to it). I care for seniors who need medicine and/or mobility equipment. I care for all the dogs in-between. I have cared for dogs with skin allergies and skittish dogs who are terrified of storms. I will help your dog feel right at home everywhere we go. I go to college online, part-time, so your schedule is my schedule. I am free whenever you need me, generally within one day's notice. If you need me to housesit, as long you have wi-fi, I am good to go. I live in a townhouse, and I have a cat, so I can only doggy daycare small-to-medium dogs, but we can take walks all day long, if your pup wants! At your home, your rules are my rules. I will follow whatever reasonable instructions you have for your pets. (I can also water your plants and feed your fish/birds/small mammals/reptiles.)
“My dog has anxiety and doesn’t do well being boarded. He needed someone to come stay with him in our home and that person was Tori. Tori understood his needs. In the past when I have traveled, I would come home to an upset dog. This time I arrived home and he was happy. I received so many photos and texts from Tori about how he was doing that I was able to enjoy my trip. The fact that she took such great care of him, made it easier to be away from him. Tori is AMAZING!!! I will definitely use Tori again.”
“Corey was an amazing sitter for my dog mylo! I had to leave for a trip with short notice, Corey met me and mylo and was very flexible, great communication and took great care of my place. I had no worries or issues leaving my dog with him. I will definitely be using Corey again and recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter! I will be back to book him!”
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life, mostly dogs. I am a huge dog lover and size or breed does not matter to me, I believe that all dogs are puppies at heart and deserve all of the attention and love. I ah e recently also found a love for cats! I have cared for, watched, and walked many dogs for my neighbors, friends, family, roommates and even co-workers. I like to keep our furry friends engaged in activity and make sure they don’t feel lonely when their parents are out of town, I understand the worry pet parents have when we can’t bring them with us! I also own a bearded dragon so reptiles are not a problems. More than willing to learn any commands and special training specific to your pet. I am full time but typically work 7-3 on most of my days. My weekday availability is most open and I am able to visit in the mornings and evenings. I strongly encourage a call with each client rather than written instructions. We would go through expectations on feeding/diet, exercise and play, training, commands, enrichment and cleaning expectations. I also would ask about how to keep the pet most safe within their space when you are gone- is a crate preferred (I have experience with crate training), are certain rooms used etc.. I would then ask about walking (if a dog) and what is best (dog friendly, water to avoid overheating etc) for their personality and health.
About: I've had training with the Baltimore Humane Society. Lot's of experience with handling all types of dog's. In gerberal I enjoy being in the company of any dogo For the time being my schedule is free. So that leaves me with more time and care for anyone's pet. And it gives flexibility to fit anyone's schedule I live in an apartment. But it's just me so there's decent room. And a park right next to me. So walks/potty breaks will be frequent
