About: I come with experience taking care of/sitting for dogs and cats of many ages and size and can’t wait to be your fur-babies’ new best friend! I’m currently working part-time from home and have a lot of time to take care of your pets anytime Saturdays or weekdays after 5 pm I have a Boston Terrier mixed with Jack Russel at home with a fenced yard. I do also have a medium to large crate at home if needed.
“Yashelle was wonderful with Brodie! She looked after him, and our house, as if it were her own, and gave him so much love and care. Will definitely be booking her again!!”
“Felicia was great! Sent me lots of pics, left my home spotless, and my pups were happy when I got back. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely use her again!”
“Addie did a great job caring for our two high-maintenance pups for 5 nights. She provided daily updates with photos. We were really able to enjoy our vacation not having to worry about our pets or home. Thanks, Addie!”
“Brandon was fantastic. He is a great communicator and clearly gave my dogs lots of love and attention while we were away. I highly recommend Brandon for your pet care needs!”
“If there was a way to give more than five stars I would give all of them to Relle. Not only did she take great care of my pets, I feel that she developed a good bond with them as well. I received wonderful updates everyday with photos while I was away and I felt my home was in great hands.”
“I have to thank Collin for his patience and willingness to watch my furry duo. He managed to somehow feed my poor dogs using sorcery and sheer willpower to scrounge whatever I had left after my dog’s food was stolen from my doorstep. My dogs also adore and trust him so he gets 100/10. Thank you so much, Collin!”
“Amanda was our favorite dog sitter we’ve ever had! She was extremely communicative and sent updates everyday throughout the day without us having to ask. She also left our home in perfect condition, nice and clean. She’s also very friendly and reliable, we can tell our fur baby loved her! Would 100000% recommend Amanda to anyone and already looking forward to the next time we get to book her :)”
About: I had the pleasure of taking care of a little Shihtzu named Giselle for nearly 7 years. If you know Shihtzu’s you know how particular they are, but every moment was so rewarding! I now have a little gray tabby named Chicho who loves cuddles maybe more than food itself! I have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and all energies (high & low) which has given me the opportunity to learn the different kinds of care both of them need. I understand the importance of making sure animals are fulfilled within their limits and I’m happy to provide that for them! Se habla espańol 🇵🇪 I work full time as an oral surgeons surgical dental assistant 8AM to 4PM on weekdays. After then and all day weekends I’m available to take care of your little ones! My Chicho roams freely in his home and outside as well (with some supervision). He gets along with other animals after some time to get to know each other but overall he’s friendly.
“Kenneth was wonderful! He look care of my baby dog like he was his own. My Sullivan loved him from the minute Kenneth stepped in the door! I highly recommend Kenneth for dog walking and overnight dog-sitting! Wry trustworthy and I’ll definitely use his expert services again!”
“Don did a great job House-sitting with our cat and dog! Our pets loved Don and were happy and healthy when we returned. The house was in great shape and Don also did a great job looking after our plants. If you want peace of mind for your pets and home while you’re away, I highly recommend hiring Don!”
“Jason was awesome and took care of our pup so well! We highly recommend him for his attention to detail and going above and beyond. Our pup definitely enjoyed the time away from us.”
“We are super excited to have found Lynette. We have three dogs and her attention to detail is fantastic! The boys all had a great time with her and it was wonderful to keep them in their home environment. We will definitely be seeing Lynette again!!! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furry loved ones. ?”
“Heli was AMAZING when she stayed in our home to watch our severely speration anxiety ridden cockapoo, Ruby. I felt relieved and relaxed knowing Heli was watching Ruby while my family and I were away for a week. Although we had not previously met, I was immediately put at ease with the way she interacted with both Ruby and me. Heli also sent me a ton of pictures while we were away showing all the fun activities they were doing. She also kept to Ruby's schedule. As a very picky mama, I would 100% use and reccomend Heli in the future.”
About: 👋 I'm Chris, living in MoCo for the last few years. I am most experienced with smaller dogs in the 5-25 Ibs range, but am capable with larger cats. My neighborhood is extremely dog friendly, quiet and safe! I will typically walk your dog about 1 mile a day unless they are elderly, very small, or there is bad weather. My parents are both dog lovers as well and are ready to shower your pup with treats, cuddles and pets. I work remotely, which means I have an incredibly flexible schedule. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I can adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs. I make sure your pets are safe and happy, whether they're at my place or yours! You'll get plenty of updates and cute pics while you're away. Safety, trust, and lots of fun are my top priorities! I spend most of my time at home. Dogs that board enjoy constant companionship from me and my 7-year-old rescue dog, Oliver, a Cockaranian (Cocker Spaniel/Pomeranian mix). I also share my home with my mother, a fellow dog lover and piano teacher, so the house is often filled with calm classical music. Because children ages 6+ regularly visit for piano lessons, boarding dogs must be comfortable around kids.I also provide drop-in services in my clients’ homes with the utmost care and attention.

I am located in the Germantown MD area I make sure a timid or high-energy pet feels safe and comfortable I am responsible, communicative, and prioritize pet safety Handling pet accidents (e.g., urine on carpet) and keeping a tidy home.
“I just moved to MD...literally the week before I needed a sitter for my 4 dogs and it was more than a little nerve wracking to take the leap of faith given the circumstances. Alon is wonderful! He is definitely a fur baby person and was immediately comfortable with my 2 Great Danes and gave my 2 smaller dogs space to get used to him. He communicated with me several times each day, sent pictures and videos and handled a very unexpected situation beautifully! I cannot recommend Alon enough and will, without question, be using him to take care of all my babies again!!”
“Keara was amazing with our two dogs. She was professional and gave many updates and treated our dogs with so much love. She was an amazing sitter and we will certainly be hiring her again to care for our two dogs while we are away.”

Nicole loves cats and you can tell. She gave Mr. Bingley sweet care and attention. She was very good about sending pictures and videos to let me know he was doing well while I was away. There was a stressful situation with the petsitter before her, and Nicole handled it all with grace, professionalism and assurance to me that all was well. That was greatly appreciated. Thanks very much Nicole for taking such good care of Mr. B.
Relle is wonderful! We’ve booked with her before and are never disappointed! She always leaves our pets happy and healthy, the place clean too. She’s so sweet to our babies and we can always tell they love having her! They both adore her! 10/10 would always recommend! Hope to see you again soon, Relle 😊
Regina was wonderful with my fur baby! This was my first time leaving my cat with a sitter and Regina made me feel very comfortable. She was communicative, responsive, and professional, left the house in great shape, and took great care of my cat. I look forward to booking her again!
Loved Melina, her personality from the time of the meet and greet, I knew my dogs would be in great hands. I can tell from my pet's energy that they were very happy. She walked them and I couldn't have appreciated that gesture even more. I would definitely book her again.
Excellent first-time experience! Mary was amazing with our golden doodle during our first time leaving him at home. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. When he was anxious at first, she was patient and caring, helping to coax him through it with lots of love and attention. Throughout our trip, she sent plenty of pictures and updates so we always knew exactly what kind of day he was having and how he was doing. It was clear she genuinely cared about his wellbeing, and we came home to a happy, well-loved pup. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our first time away. Highly recommend!
I have to thank Collin for his patience and willingness to watch my furry duo. He managed to somehow feed my poor dogs using sorcery and sheer willpower to scrounge whatever I had left after my dog’s food was stolen from my doorstep. My dogs also adore and trust him so he gets 100/10. Thank you so much, Collin!
We have only amazing things to say about Savannah! She was so flexible and worked with us when our schedule got supremely messed up! She took great care of our two geriatric dogs and our house. She also went above and beyond with communication and so many other things we asked of her! Rave review, Savannah!! Thank you!!
Jeanette is always so great with my Eli! Even though he misses me when I'm away, he feels safe and secure with her. Her warmth and nurturing personality shine right through! Jeanette's an awesome pet sitter and I always feel comfortable leaving her in my home so that Eli can stay home and in his daily routine. It makes going away on vacation less guilt inducing. Of course as pet parents we will ALWAYS feel guilty for leaving our fur babies behind, but when you have a competent sitter like Jeanette, it makes things a little easier! 🥰
