Lindsay was perfect! Communication was easy and timely, we met for a walk around our neighborhood prior to her watching our pup. She sent pictures during her visits with Buster and made sure he got all the pets and love! Look forward to booking with her again!

About: I have been trusted caring for other's dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have much respect and get much joy from dogs love and enthusiasm. My schedule is somewhat flexible. It changes depending on the time of the year and my own animals care. This includes cats at home and horses (not at home). I am willing to care for your pets at your home. My (2) cats are not willing to share "their" home with others; it's their world, I'm just living in it.

Jae was incredible with our cat during drop-in visits with him over a long weekend. She is responsive and provided pictures of our guy during her visits to our home. Within two days, Milo was sitting on her lap, which he hardly ever does - clearly Milo loves her more than us :)

About: **PLEASE NOTE, I do not have a 6’ fence. We have a standard chain link fence. Fence jumpers are not accepted. I have had a dog since I was 19 (now 45). I love dogs and have taken in strays and nursed them to health. I have experience with small to large dogs. We have a large fenced in back and front yard for your dog to run around. We also love to cuddle. I work from home and have time to let your dog out and get some play time. We also live near a big park where we can take walks. We have a dog who is crate-trained. All dogs sleep in a crate overnight, which I provide. During the day, dogs are free to walk around both inside and outside. All you need to provide is their food and any comfort toys/blankets. I provide dog bowls

About: Hello!! My name is Sabrina and I’m currently a 2nd year graduate student at Hopkins. I’ve always been a HUGE animal lover and begged my family to adopt a pet my entire life. Now, I’ve had my family dog for 7.5 years (she’s 8.5 years now), and I am responsible taking her out every morning to do her daily poops, feed her, and play with her when I go back home in California. My friend would sometimes leave her pet at my place when she goes on vacation so I’m comfortable taking care of multiple animals at a time. Many of my friends also own cats and I always enjoy going to their places and playing with the softest animals to ever exist. I’m currently at JHU doing research about effects of microplastics on embryonic development. Since it’s mostly just research, my day is usually flexible and varies. I’m usually free on the weekends other than some Saturday mornings because I’ll be volunteering at community gardens 🐛. I can walk, feed, and play with the pets at home (and will most definitely be sending a lot of photos). I will make sure to let them have fun but also follow all the instructions given as their safety is the number one priority.

About: **Please Note: From June 17th thru July 31st during the week I will be available between 7-8:30 AM and after 5:30 PM. I am still available to accept dog sitting requests!** Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Growing up, my family had a Shih Tzu named Peppa, and over the years I’ve cared for several dogs including a pit bull named Blu and my energetic little furball, Oreo. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable working with both small and large breeds. Friends often joke that I’m a “dog whisperer” because I’m naturally attentive to dogs’ personalities and needs. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, and a safe environment while their owner is away. I have experience with basic grooming such as brushing, bathing, and teeth cleaning, and I’m happy to help keep your pup comfortable and cared for. While I don’t do professional trimming, I’m always attentive to maintaining your dog’s routine and well-being. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight sitting, my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you know how your furry friend is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have flexible availability, just let me know and I’ll work with you. I prefer morning and afternoons but if I know in advance I can work with evening schedules as well! There are plenty of grassy areas (including a huge hill that is popular for the pups to run down) surrounding my place. There are also some cool parks that I'd likely take your pup to. I aim to make your pet feel as comfortable/at home as possible.

We just started recurring services with Elizabeth, and she has been incredibly patient and loving with my dogs. One of my dogs is very afraid of new people and she has taken time to let the dog take his time getting to know her. She has been very respectful of my home and cleaned up messes as she sees them. Above and beyond service.

Sierra was wonderful! She was really understanding of my worries of leaving Pazzo alone after a tough vet visit. She gave me excellent updates and made sure to give Pazzo lots of extra cuddles. She gave him his meds easily, and I felt so much better that Pazzo was in her hands. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Ana did such a wonderful job with my dogs when they had to take medications, had an upset stomach or itching issues. She sent me photos and videos which really lifted my spirits. Ana is very attentive and asks about how you would like things done in your home. I have two small dogs and would recommend her. My two dogs have different personalities and she was great at helping them each at their own pace.

About: I grew up working with animals at Bark Central Doggie Daycare boarding, daycare, grooming, and training facility in PA. I would handle up to 60 dogs at one time by myself- rotating breeds, temperaments, feeding schedules, and facility tours. I would feed, water, bathe, give medicine, clean up after, and keep them entertained. I have learned SO much about animal behavior and my passion for animals as a whole has only grown! I'm experienced with many types of breeds (giant and mini) and love getting to know new ones! I respect any amount of maintenance one needs for their animal because I would appreciate the same for mine! I played 4 sports & am still an active woman so I don’t mind puppy energy or working breeds that never seem to wind down :). If the puppies are young I’d be happy to help train them as well! I have experience training working breeds too. I purchased two XL crates, and one medium crate so you don’t have to suffer lugging yours around if your fur baby needs crate training, a confined space to eat, or you prefer them sleep in there. 99% of animals I watch roam & prefer to sleep in my bed, but I try to be as convenient as possible for crate users, and who here enjoys carrying that thing 🫣? I do not crate pets who owners do not want crated. • I have a large 6ft privacy fenced in backyard. • I provide dog bowls (you provide food,treats) • I have a very large dog bed • Pets are allowed in furniture here (unless you tell me otherwise) • I work from home so I do pet sit full time as well. • I have a large multiunit house that allows me to socialize, rotate, or isolate animals if need be and they still have an entire unit to run around in. • I do not require a meet and greet. Most nervous animals adjust quicker away from their owner because they’re not given the opportunity to adjust when you’re there. I have worked with dogs bigger than I am, I have professionally managed anxious dogs since I was a teen. I will however do a meet & greet if you need one to be comfortable :) I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend :)! I watch any type of animal except snakes because I would probably never sleep again. 😶‍🌫️ Fun facts: - I was known as the animal whisperer because my job would find me cuddling with dogs that said KEEP OUT on their sign because they tried to attack everyone else. -I used to train stray cats to come running to me by clapping my hands outside so I could sneak them milk when my mom wasn’t looking. I couldn’t understand why she was upset I wanted to take care of every animal I saw… I suppose that’s why I grew up and do this lol - I’ve successfully socialized dogs that owners swore hate all other animals (it’s often easier to socialize pets away from owners because they’re more protective of you). - I grew up with a cat and I do love them as well! See you soon! 🐾 I work from home so unless I’m grabbing an ingredient I forgot in my Cosco delivery, I’m home all day and can be flexible with pick ups- drop off, and last minute calls. I have a pretty large fenced in yard for the city, and seeing dogs rip & run in it warms my heart! We are a dog friendly neighborhood so those of us who may bark more than others will do just fine here :) I communicate if anything looks strange down to paw licking to catch things early.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve looked after everything from energetic dogs who love adventure and playtime to senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra patience, and close attention to routines and comfort. I also previously owned and operated my own pet sitting business for several years, where I built trusted relationships with pet owners and provided dependable in-home care for their pets and houses. I eventually closed the business to help my sister run her company full time, but I never stopped pet sitting. Since then, I’ve continued caring for pets on the side because it’s something I genuinely love and find deeply fulfilling. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medications, overnight care, companionship, litter box maintenance, basic grooming support, and maintaining consistent routines to help pets feel secure while their owners are away. I understand how important communication and trust are, so I always aim to provide thoughtful updates and attentive care that gives owners real peace of mind. Along with pet care, I’m highly respectful of people’s homes and take pride in leaving spaces clean, organized, and well cared for. I’m dependable, communicative, calm under pressure, and genuinely attentive to the little details that make a difference. For me, great pet sitting is about creating a safe, loving, low stress environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for until their people return. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Anatole France​ I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide pets with lots of companionship, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate walks, feeding routines, playtime, medications, and cuddle breaks as needed. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I naturally build pet care into my daily routine rather than treating it like a task to check off. I have over 30 years of experience caring for animals and previously owned my own pet sitting business, so safety, communication, and trust are extremely important to me. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior changes, medications, and household instructions, and I always aim to create a calm, loving, low-stress environment for pets while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and care, keep spaces clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

Sophie is a real pro! Our two dogs and cat loved her right away. Our cat rarely comes out to see new people, but on the first day she came to see Sophie and ask for pats. Sophie is extremely knowledgeable and asks good questions. She is great at daily communication. She provides thorough reports as a default. If you want less info, you can ask for that, too. I really enjoy knowing the details of her visits. We honestly can’t think of one thing she could improve! Three days a week we need to be away for 14-15 hours. Sophie is always on time for her midday visits and the time she spends with them is keeping them happy and well. We feel super lucky that Sophie was able to take us on.

Kristen A. is a lifesaver! I ended up having to go to the ER after thinking I can just get taken care of at the urgent Care. That led to almost a full week Hospital stay, my pup Oreo was home and because I didn't know how long I'd be there thinking maybe a day or so I decided maybe to try doing drop-in appointments and allowing him to stay home. She came faithfully twice a day giving my dog so much love and attention! She is very good with communication giving updates on how he was doing and sending copious pictures, and very sensitive to my situation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for drop in care!

Shakiyla was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She is so knowledgeable about how to care for a big, very loving but also high energy dog like my Alba, and I felt very comfortable knowing my baby was in her care while i was so far away. She is professional, kind, responsive, and an excellent trainer as well, and I will absolutely be requesting her services in the future. Highly recommend, especially if you have a bully breed dog!
