“Colleen took wonderful care of my cranky cat and aggressive angelfish over the weekend. I felt much better leaving them in her hands rather than leaving them alone for the weekend. Thank you Colleen for the care you gave them.”

“I have three elderly dogs, two of which did not have not had a good past. They are fearful of people for good reason. They instantly trusted Mary. I have never before been able to go away without worrying the entire trip. She has truly enhanced our lives, already booked her a second time.”
“Emily was great, very caring towards our dogs, sent pictures and gave updates every visit. She also kept on the Dog TV channel for them so they had white noise. It was nice to go away for the weekend and not have the stress of a kennel on our senior dogs knowing they were in good hands!”
About: I have been an animal lover and had dogs my whole life. My first job was working at a boarding kennel at 14 years old. I have worked with many different breeds. I am experienced with boarding pets in my home, pet bathing experience/groomer in training, nail trimming, ability to give oral medications, insulin injections (I have had two diabetic dogs), walking dogs of any breed or size. At this time I am very flexible. My life revolves around animals. I can commit to your schedule to suit you and your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and live away from high traffic for safe walks, I have dogs of my own for your pup to have friends to play with. I can keep my dogs separate from yours if needed. Patient, and quiet loving home with pet's needs as my top priority. Can take them for car rides or snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. I can pick your pet up and drop them off if needed.
“Amber is so wonderful with our Chesapeake bay retriever who can be stubborn at times but he absolutely loves her. She always sends a picture and an update of how he did on the check in. She has been so helpful and puts our mind at ease that we know he’s being taken care of so well 😊”
“Jade was amazing while my husband and I were away. She was very flexible with some of our scheduling issues and her communication was outstanding. There was a bad storm that came through and she was still able to check on our little ones with the power being out. Very thankful for her while we were away.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for over 10 years now, but it didn’t start there. My parents raised Labrador Retrievers while I was growing up and we competed in hunt test trials with them. We earned several Master Hunter titles with our labs. I gained experience from raising them as puppies to producing accomplished Master Hunters with countless hours of dedication and training. As I got older, I got into riding horses and for several years I boarded my horses at various barns throughout Harford County and competed in Hunter/Jumper shows. Moving forward my husband and I purchased a farm in northern Harford County where our children have raised multiple 4-H projects from pigs, chickens, steers, rabbits, goats, etc. I have a vast amount of experience/knowledge not only in dogs and cats but also in farm animals. Currently I am a small breeder of corgis and I raise them in my home. I am fully knowledgeable about vaccinating, administering medications, determining any illnesses, wrapping any wounds, basic vet care, oral hygiene, animal behavior, etc. I work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding most of the time and I can accommodate your pets needs! We live on a farm. I can hand walk your dog in our fields and we have a few small fenced in areas where he/she can play. We also have a fenced in yard that surrounds the entire house, so if any doors open the dog will be contained. Our garage is temperature controlled and it has been turned into our puppy/dog room. Our dogs will NOT have contact with your dogs. We believe that safety is the most critical factor in keeping someone else’s dog and I would want the same for my own dogs.

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of pet medical experience, pet care, cat rescue, and TNR work. I have volunteered at Animal Rescue, Inc, walking dogs and caring for cats. I also volunteered for feral cat spay/neuter clinics. For over 20 years I have provided complex daily care, including medical needs, for my personal pets. This, and petsitting, have previously been accomplished during full time employment as a veterinary technician at veterinary hospitals. I have provided petsitting many times in owners' homes in the past. I can also pick up mail, water plants, close curtains, turn lights on and off, etc.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. I currently have a boxer and a mini poodle who I love even though they’re a handful, and I’ve had cats in the past! My parents left the responsibility up to me to take care of them so I have experience with cleaning, feeding, grooming, and more when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m a college student with random free time in my schedule during the week so a quick pet sit or walk would work perfectly for me! I can feed the proper dosage of food to the pet, take them on a walk and play with them when asked and even clean them. I can administer medicine if necessary as long as the owner properly demonstrates and explains what’s needed!
About: Rest assured you beloved pet is good hands with me. Our HUGE backyard has a 5'' fence to keep your pet safe. Even the most anxious pet will be at peace in our backyard. Our patio is also covered so during the "dog days" of summer, your pet will have it made in the shade! We even have a small pool for your dog to cool off in. Daily walks/runs are the highlight of your pets stay. We have endless acres to walk nearby so your pet will get plenty of exercise. I also offer pet massage & grooming for an additional charge. (BCMT-HHP, NREMT) Your pet may not want to leave after their stay with us :-). "Beauty, Norm, Becka & Mr. Hank" About this sitter: Feel free to get in touch with me about any of your pets needs & concerns. Namaste, Lynn "Beauty" B., NREMT-BCMT, HHP Why I love dog sitting I've been dog owner & lover since childhood. I've worked with award winning breeders, trainers & kennels from coast to coast. I'm the Past President of the German Shorthair Rescue Society of So. CA <gsp dash rescue dot org> & my husband Norm of almost 21 years was Past Vice President. He's also a life long dog owner & lover too. Meet my pets "Becka & Mr. Hank" (German Shorthair Pointers) are waiting to make new fur-ever friends with your pets. About my yard Our HUGE backyard has a LARGE 5' fence with beautiful lush grass for your dogs relief area. It's a beautiful back yard with plenty of room to run & play. There is also a large shaded area that attaches to the house for the "dog days" of summer. We even have a kiddie pool to cool off in! Your pet may not want to go home after staying with us. :-) My experience administering medication Yes. I've had quite the experience dealing with dogs in need. One of our dearly departed GSP's "Star" had epilepsy & needed a variety of medications. With out these, she wouldn't have had a longer life. It was a blessing to be able to help her live longer by giving her her daily medications. Mr. Hank & Becca are our fur babies! Everyday is an adventure and we wouldn't know what to do without them. :-) See you soon! Daily meals, walks, play time, potty breaks and cuddles are our everyday events. We make sure your pet becomes part of our family. Special dietary needs and medications are also addressed with your pets needs.

“I’ve known Amanda for about 6 years now. She has an incredibly huge heart when it comes to animals of any species. She has 3 beautiful horses, 2 very vocal birds, 3 ducks, 4 bouncy doggos and she even had a small jumping spider. Two of her animals have disabilities, the duck has a broken foot that healed incorrectly when she rescued him. She also has a diabetic Doberman that needs insulin shots every 12 hours, she’s very amazing with her meds and needs she requires. She just recently started her grooming and boarding business and I let her watch my dog a couple times and groom him. She did amazing grooming, she has a good sized yard for your furry friend to run and play. Her dogs are extremely friendly and social so your furry friend will have company!! I can’t recommend Amanda enough!”

Lynn "Beauty" B.
“My husband and I travel often through out the year, and are gone for up to three weeks. I know that Lynn is listed here for dog sitting and care, but she has been taking care of my babies for years. Along with the Yorkie Terrier, I have an elderly cat, and a 60 gallon salt water reef tank, so my babies have to stay at my home, and need to be fed twice a day. It's wonderful to return from a three week trip and find the dog and cat spoiled and happy; but even better to find the reef tank still as wonderful as when I left. It takes a real caring person to find that kind of attention.”
Kristen K.
“Kristen is loyal, reliable, compassionate and caring towards both people and animals. She has cared for and owned many dogs in her lifetime. These dogs all loved and well cared for, and ranging from one breed to the extreme breed. She's always there for people when she needs them. She's always a phone call away and will be there in an instant if necessary. She has a great attendance with jobs and trainings, as well as in her college career. She takes her jobs seriously and can be counted on.”
