Lynette is amazing. My dog loves her. She always sends me pictures of my babies while I’m at work. I know they are in good care when she comes to walk them. She will love your furbabies when you are away.

About: I have worked with puppies for 3.5 years and loved each and every one of them! Nothing makes me happier. This is a dream job. Hello! I’m an experienced and passionate pet lover with a lifetime of caring for animals! My journey began in childhood with my poodle, Pepper, who taught me the joy and responsibility of pet ownership. I helped walk, feed, and play with him daily, which sparked my love for caring for animals. As a parent, I raised two wonderful dogs and cared for four cats throughout my daughter’s upbringing. I even worked at a puppy shop for 3.5 years, where I gained hands-on experience grooming puppies, cleaning their living spaces, and administering oral medications. Now my husband and I are proud pet parents to a 5-year-old French Bulldog, Lola, who has become the heart of our home as empty nesters. I take joy in cooking for her, taking her on regular walks, and making playtime a priority. With decades of experience and a true love for animals, I understand the importance of providing pets with the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Whether it's walking, feeding, or playing, I’d love to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality to ensure they feel loved and secure while under my care. For dogs, I provide regular walks tailored to their energy levels, ensure they’re fed according to their specific dietary needs, and spend quality time playing and cuddling to make them feel at home. I’m experienced with preparing fresh meals if required and oral administering medications when needed. For cats, I ensure their feeding schedules are maintained, litter boxes are clean, and I offer plenty of play and affection (or give them space if that’s their preference!). In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain the pet’s familiar routines to help reduce stress while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets the same level of care and love I provide to my own.

Monats was super helpful and really came through for our pup during a schedule pinch! She took excellent care of Rosie and was very on top of making sure Rosie’s care requirements were met. And I really appreciated her experience and diligence in catching and thwarting my dogs attempts to eat sticks and mulch even though I had forgotten to warn in advance!

About: I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with many years of experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. My own rescue dog, who passed away last year, taught me a lot about patience and understanding dog behavior. She was very shy and initially afraid of walks, so I spent a lot of time learning positive training techniques and working with her until she became comfortable on leash. I also taught her basic commands and fun tricks like sit, stay, come, rollover, spin, and retrieve. Because of this experience, I’m especially patient with shy or nervous dogs and always take time to build trust and make pets feel safe. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walking and drop-in visits on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, mornings or evenings. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! I am very flexible. I work with your schedule. I am usually available weekdays or weekends, and holidays. Either mornings or afternoons work for me. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking services. I do live in a single family house with fenced backyard. I do not have my own animal.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 and I know how to take action and keep pets safe and comfortable at all times. I cared for my first dog, a beagle, since she was a 5-month-old puppy until she passed at 10 from lymphoma. My current dog is 4 and I’ve had him since he was 12 weeks, and I learned to groom him since he hates the groomers. I have basic knowledge about dog care since I wanted to be a vet for a long time :) I just graduated and have the entire summer free, so I’m readily available for all sorts of services! I have my license and will be driving to customers homes. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I walk my dog 3x a day! As someone who’s been a dog mom for many years, I’m very well versed in dog behavior and their body language. I will make sure all dogs are comfortable around me by offering treats if allowed, space when needed, and patience above all. I used to walk a senior dog in my neighborhood who would snap when he was overwhelmed, so I understand how to handle all sorts of pets while keeping myself and the dog safe!

About: Hi! My name is Daniela and I love animals! I currently have two dogs, one French Bulldog in Colombia where I’m from and one goldendoodle. I’ve been pet sitting for the past 7 years and caring for animals is something I’m very passionate about. I take care the animals as they are my own. My husband name is Alex and he has a lot of experience with cats and dogs. He treats our golden like a son and has trained him very well. I’m currently working full time with limited availability during the week but available over the weekends anytime. Evenings I will be available if need be as well. We have an apartment so there would be limited availability at our own home but I am more than welcome to come to your place and take care of your fur babies!

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have mainly taken care of my neighbors' pets, my friends' pets and of course my own. I have pet-sitted for dogs of all sizes, cats and fish. At home I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 3 ferrets, a crested gecko and a tree frog. I am reliable and punctual. I am caring and kind. I am also flexible and will follow any schedule or instructions. I am a college student at the University of Maryland and during the summer I do have class on Friday morning. Besides my class schedule I am very flexible. I will follow any instructions that you provide as they are unique to each pet. If taking care of a dog I will never take them out without a leash or fenced in yard. If taking care of a cat I will make sure to keep them inside at all times. If you need me to take care of a small animal I will always make sure they are in their enclosure before I leave. I am very paranoid and will always make sure your pets are safe.

Ocean is great! He first came by for a meet and greet and my dog immediately took a liking to him. He asked questions to make sure he knew all the details and quirks of our pup and from the get go we had the impression that he was responsible, compassionate, and mature. He texts after he walks the dog and lets us know how it went. He's even had some helpful suggestions with how we can help our dog's anxiety and is very attune to the dog's needs. I feel so much better now that I know Ocean will be visiting my dog during the long work day. I highly recommend him!

About: I was Pup-Mom of a wonderful 16 year old Shih-tzu/bishon mix female, Suki. I rescued my pup when she was 1 so, we had an awesome 15 years together. Unfortunately, she passed away on October 2, 2023. I have 20 years of experience in pet sitting several different types of pups. I am a very reliable, responsible, trustworthy, and honest person. With all the Pups in my care we will be going on walks everyday. I own a townhouse and I have a safe fenced in backyard for play. We will have plenty of time for play, many walks, and for a good session of "go fetch". I'm fully retired now so my daily schedule is very flexible. All of my furry friends in my care will have plenty of time for walks and play time. I have a fenced in backyard which will keep every pup in my care very safe. My home environment is doggy proofed so every pup will be safe and secure.

I can’t say enough good things about Marie! Trusting someone with my dog, Charlie, is like trusting them with my child. My pup is my family and knowing that he is in Marie’s hands gives me total peace of mind. Marie is not only reliable and professional, but genuinely loving and attentive. She treats Charlie with so much care, patience and joy, it’s clear she really loves what she does. Charlie gets so excited when she comes to the door and I just love the pictures she sends while on their walk. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like their own, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Marie.
