“Rebecca did an excellent job staying at our home with Pippin! She was really prepared with questions to help the weekend good smoothly and to understand his needs. She was very responsive to messages and sent detailed updates and pics. Our pup had a great time!”

“Robyn took care of Cooper and our home as if it were her own. It was awesome not having any concerns leaving Cooper in her care! Loved the updates and the pictures! Can't wait until our next trip!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2018 and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I currently have a cat and a bird of my own, and I’ve also had dogs in the past. I’m an Agriscience Education major and took Animal Science in high school, so I’ve always had a strong interest in animals and their care. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, cleaning litter boxes and cages, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and playtime. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a college student, so my schedule can vary depending on my classes, but I have flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m able to plan visits around my class schedule and make sure pets receive the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to communicate ahead of time to work out a schedule that fits both you and your pet! I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they are in a safe, comfortable, and clean environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they leave for me. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure doors, gates, cages, and other areas are secure before I leave. I also understand that some pets can be nervous around new people, so I’m patient and give them time to get comfortable with me. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel safe and confident while you’re away!

“Nina was great! She collected a lot of written information about our dog Daisy prior to our vacation and used it to guide her care. Nina's written log of play activities and treat rewards was remarkable and assured us Daisy was always in good hands. She updated us regularly while we were away with texts and photos. As part of our arrangement, we had requested a few extra tasks involving the watering of house plants (quite a few) and these were carried out to perfection. Not to mention, the house looked great when we returned! We will not hesitate to request our new friend and pat-sitter the next time we need to go away.”

“Busara was a delight! She gave a lot of feedback on her time with Jasper. Jasper seemed to enjoy having her here. I’d definitely ask her to come another time!”

Nestled on our beautiful horse farm in lower Cecil County, our little slice of paradise offers breathtaking views, fresh country air, and plenty of room for adventure. Whether your pup loves splashing in the pool, running and playing in our safe, clean, and secure outdoor spaces, enjoying cozy snuggles inside, or taking a stroll to visit the horses, every day is filled with love, fun, and personalized care. We believe the most important thing we can give your pet is love. We care for each guest as if they were our own while always respecting and following every parent’s wishes, routines, and special instructions. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always come first. Our hope is that Safe Hayven Fields becomes your pet’s home away from home—a place they’ll be excited to return to, with wagging tails and happy hearts every single visit. We can’t wait to welcome your family into ours. ❤️ My entire life revolves around my farm and caring for all of my animals. I am on the property 24/7 as this is my full time job. And luckily it’s my passion. We have a beautiful fenced in pasture with lots of space to run. We are in a very private and rural area. We also have a pool- only if parents are OK and the Pup chooses to take a dip! Your Pup will always be supervised. If there are restrictions we will always abide by them. We also have dog crates if needed or requested and a beautiful inside area as well. Basically your Pup is gonna have free range and feel a home away from home.

About: My name is Taryn and I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, horses, fish, chickens, and small snakes. I have two young adult daughters that live at home and share the same passion as I do. I do have a 7yr old mix of my own that enjoys playing with others. If your dog happens to not be dog friendly, no worries; I provide in home dog care, drop in visits and dog walks! My home is clean, quiet, and pet proof. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for your best friend to run and play. We even have trails nearby where we can go on fun adventures! Pets will have free roam of the house so they don’t feel left out, after all they are apart of the family. Your pet(s) will never be alone or feel scared with me as their sitter. I work full time during the week. But I’m available weeknights for drop-ins, walks, and daycare. I’m available Fri-Sunday for the above as well as in home and in my home boarding. I have a large yard and a friendly dog for your pup to play with. If needed, I also have a crate. I don’t like crating my dog so prefer not to crate yours unless instructed by you for specific reasons. Of course they’ll be let out often to use the bathroom and have unlimited access to water. In your home, your pet will be let out when needed/scheduled if they have one, played with, and loved on. No matter where we are, my goal is to make your pet feel safe.

About: I work professionally in dog daycare as a Team Lead, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m experienced with group play, individual care, feeding routines, senior dogs, puppies, basic training and behavior management. I’m comfortable reading canine body language and adapting my care to each dog’s individual needs. I also have experience with large breeds and higher-energy dogs, and I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine through my work in dog daycare. Outside of work, I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and other pet care services depending on the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and provide consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and each pet’s individual needs. I pay close attention to body language, behavior, and stress signals, and I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. I believe in keeping pets on a familiar routine and giving them the space, enrichment, exercise, and affection that works best for them.

“Taylor was great with Maxwell! On time, open communication, and most importantly, took excellent care of Maxwell. Look forward to working with her for future visits!”

About: About Me: I am a teacher, pet mom (to both dogs & cats!), and lover of all animals. I lead my life with empathy, which makes me an extremely patient and effective pet care provider. It is my mission to treat your babies with the same amount of love, respect, and compassion that I would hope somebody would give to my own. I believe that behavior management, if necessary, should always be rooted in consistency and positive redirections. My Experience: Beyond being a cat and dog mom, I have years of experience with long term cat and dog sitting. I am experienced and comfortable with any age of pet, from puppies/kittens to senior animals. I have some basic experience with training from my own pets. My Schedule: Until my summer ends, I am available almost daily. Once school starts, I am available on weekends and week day evenings. During these times, I can do check ins, feedings, walks, play times, or overnights. I am comfortable with week day overnights, if your pet is able to be alone during my typical 8 hour work day.

I am empathetic, nurturing, responsible, and consistent. At the end of the day, the thing that makes me most effective is my genuine love for animals. I care for and approach all animals as gently and lovingly as I do for my own. I am comfortable with many styles of pet care including crating, walking, outdoor and indoor play, anxiety management, and more. As a mom of an anxious rescue pup, I understand the importance of providing an animal a safe space. I make it my mission to help all pets feel comfortable and confident around me. I mold to your pet’s needs and personality, rather than making them bend to my own.

“Reid is fabulous! It was evident that he cared tremendously for my pets. Reid far exceeded our expectations and I would highly, highly recommend him for all of your pet sitting needs.”

“Courtney was an amazing help with sitting Maxwell today. She was punctual, early in fact ;), followed all requests and most of all, made sure Maxwell was in good company. Communication was great and I felt confident that my little man would be in great care with her! We will be looking to have Courtney back in the future for sure. Thanks!”

About: With over six and a half years of hands-on pet care, I bring a rare blend of experience, attentiveness, and heart. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing gentle, attentive care. What truly sets me apart is my ability to read and respond to animals’ unique personalities. I create a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s administering medication, offering leash training for puppies, or providing low-stress companionship for older pets, I bring patience and skill to every interaction. I also have experience caring for a diverse range of animals beyond just dogs and cats. From chickens and birds to hamsters and other small pets, I understand that every species has its own rhythm, needs, and comfort cues. I’m confident and compassionate with unique, exotic, or less-common animals, always prioritizing their safety, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Pet care is a built-in part of my weekly life. I’m highly flexible and genuinely enjoy working around each pet’s needs and schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even late nights, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care seamless and stress-free. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend bookings and unique timing requests whenever possible—just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. Reliability, consistency, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routes, medication routines, and preferred playtime activities—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the space stays tidy and respected while I’m there. If I’m hosting pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming space. I separate animals as needed, keep food and water fresh and clean, and ensure they have access to cozy rest areas and supervised play. I never leave pets unattended, and I’m mindful of their comfort, especially in a new setting. In both cases, I focus on creating a low-stress, high-trust atmosphere, and I keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay.

About: From caring for 10 senior dogs at a rescue, to bathing dogs that got sprayed by skunks, to training and taking dogs on their own outings to parks and nature hikes, you name it I’ve done it! Even flying with dogs! ✈️ I have experience with all breeds, ages, and like to keep pet parents informed with notes & pics. Growing up in farm country taught me to love and care for all animals, but dogs and cats are by far my favorite. I also have experience in administering medications to our furry friends. I left my career of being a nanny in CA to move to the east coast to marry my husband. That was 2019, and I’ve been boarding/caring for animals since then. I’m currently a stay-at-home wifey so the dogs get 100 percent of my attention when they are with us. We live in a 3 story townhouse with a small unfenced yard in front of our home, to a large grassy area on the side of our home, to a giant green grass patch directly behind us just out our back door. The neighborhood is VERY dog-friendly with lots of sidewalks and comes complete with a dog park in walking distance. Our home is dog-friendly meaning dogs are allowed on all furniture and we even have doggie steps for little pooches to get up on our bed if they wish. We also have a 2mile + walking path near us. So we have plenty of activity options. We even have Pluto cartoons for your pet to watch! Pets get 100 percent of my attention when they stay with us. Their comfort and safety is my priority as I do pet care full-time. Our home has no place that’s off limits to your pets. If they want to snuggle on our bed or relax on our couch or even be in our guest room - they are more than welcome wherever they are most comfortable. We even have a massive bean bag most animals love thinking it’s a giant dog bed 😂.

“Such a pleasure having Kathleen take care of our pets and home when we have to be away. Firstly, our pets love her dearly and are so excited when she arrives (that they barely notice us leaving). Secondly, she is dependable to be present and to execute our requests. We have pets with medical needs and some are isolated from others. She always takes such care to give each pet the love, care, and space they each need. We found a gem with Kathleen! 😊”

“Ashley is a wonderful dog and house sitter! She took great care of Sadie for a week while we were out of town. She did everything I requested and was always very kind and courteous. The house looked exactly how we left it. Not a thing out of place. She is very trustworthy and highly dependable. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Anne H.

“Jophnie has been an excellent sitter for my babies. She kept in touch with me several times a day, which I really appreciated. Everything looked great when I got home. Everything was straightened up and clean. The dogs seemed happy when I got home. Very, very satisfied!! I will definitely use her again!!”
