Cat Sitting Harwood

About: Well with 10+ years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats with special needs and medications, anxiety, medical conditions, and unique personalities with patience. Veterinary care is a big part of my daily life. I work as a veterinary technician, so caring for animals, monitoring their needs, and keeping them comfortable is already part of my routine. I provide loving, attentive care in my home or yours, following routines and medications, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and special instructions while keeping pets comfortable.

“Sarah was amazing! She was quick to respond to any questions or comments I had. Sarah was attentive towards my kitten and made sure he had plenty of attention while I was away. I will definitely be asking for Sarah’s help in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up primarily caring for and riding horses which has remained my life until now. I live on a farm with my 2 horses, 2 barn cats, and 3 dogs - Sawyer, a 9 year old Siberian husky, Teagan, a 5 year old Australian Shepherd/Basenji mix, and Dozer, a 2 year old pittie. All were privately rescued from their own unfortunate situation, but landed them safe safely here with me through the end of their journeys - as all my previous rescues have been fortunate enough to experience. I take my relationships to animals, very seriously, balancing a level of compassionate empathy that allows me to be president enough to tune in to their energy and emotions, with a knowledgeable and experience mindset with the ability to read body language and observe social dynamics allowing me to always be proactive and advocate for an individual animals needs. This ensures a superior level of safety, as well as promotes overall well-being under my care. I have a seasoned an extensive background in animal welfare with a focus on rescuing and fostering Siberian Huskies & other northern breeds. I successfully ran a small dog walking and pet sitting business for the Anne Arundel County area from 2013 thru 2017. I’m grateful to be back & offering my services full time with a focus on daily dog walking. I am educated & experienced with dogs, cats, horses, exotic, reptiles & livestock of all breeds & sizes having worked & learned from alongside various animal professionals, trainers & behaviorists, welfare leaders, & veterinarians. I’ve worked in 40+ horse stables to 50+ dog boarding facilities & cared for many animals from mixed livestock farms to backyard homesteads to large exotic pet set-ups. I am also certified in Animal Reiki Healing. I look forward to loving your pets almost as well as you! 😉 I am very attentive to your pets needs, whether it be in a fenced yard or on leash, I engage with them in play & offer individualized attention making sure they are happy & well taken care of. You’ll receive updates with photos during &/or after their care is complete! Not a single pet will be neglected on my watch! We will coordinate a schedule that mimics your pet’s current routine as closely as possible I do not allow your dogs to greet strangers or other dogs, whether they may know them or not. I offer plenty of space when walking them, do not allow them off leash or take them to public dog parks. I do carry pepper spray in the rare occasion an off leash dog is aggressive. (This has happened unfortunately, but I feel safer being prepared than not).

“Jessica was great taking care of my cats on short notice. She left detailed notes and updates every day and checked to make sure they were happy and healthy (even the one that likes to hide under the bed)! I was completely satisfied with her service!”

“Ashley was wonderful! My two bunnies are very particular about everything. They protest when something isn’t their liking. Ashley not only took good care of them but also made friends with them. The bunnies were happy when I got home. I’m glad that I found Ashley!”

About: I’ve spent 17 years caring for other people’s pets, beginning with pet sitting at age 16 and later working as a veterinary technician and horse farm manager. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I’m confident with dogs of every size and age—from playful puppies and giant breeds to seniors, anxious dogs, and pets with special needs. Whether your dog enjoys an active walk, enthusiastic playtime, enrichment, lots of affection, or quiet companionship, I’ll tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. My experience with cats, dogs, horses, and other farm animals has made me calm, patient, and attentive to body language, even with large or nervous animals. I cared for my own senior dog through arthritis, hip problems, and renal failure, and I now share my life with a tripawd dog with anxiety. I understand the patience and creativity sometimes needed to support mobility, comfort, medications, supplements, specialized diets, and changing routines. I’m also comfortable administering veterinarian-prescribed oral, topical, and intramuscular medications and subcutaneous fluids. I’ll care for your pet with the same attentiveness and affection I give my own, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you connected through thoughtful updates and plenty of photos. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I care for my own tripawd dog, including regular walks, feeding, enrichment, and the extra patience needed for her mobility and anxiety. I enjoy building my day around animals and understand how important consistency is to their comfort. I offer drop-in visits during daytime and evening hours throughout the week, including weekends. I keep my Rover calendar current and accept only the visits I can complete reliably, so your pet receives my full attention and care at the time we’ve arranged. For drop-in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where familiar surroundings and routines can help them feel secure. I follow each family’s instructions closely, including feeding, fresh water, medications, walks or potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, litter-box care, and any household details you would like handled. Safety begins with learning about your pet’s routine, temperament, medical needs, triggers, equipment, and emergency contacts. Before walks, I check collars, harnesses, and leashes for a secure fit, and I remain attentive to body language and our surroundings. I never force interaction with a nervous pet and allow trust to develop at their pace. I take care when entering and leaving, confirm that doors and gates are secured, clean up after your pet, and make sure they are comfortable before I go. After every visit, I’ll send a thoughtful update with photos and let you know about eating, drinking, bathroom habits, behavior, medications, or anything unusual I notice.

“Jai was very sweet and kind, taking the time to get to know my Laidi. She's very attentive and good at troubleshooting any issue; I recommend her 10/10!”

“Alexandria was a great sitter for our pup. She provided excellent care for the 4 days we were gone. I would highly recommend her to watch your furry friend.”

Bradley P.

“Mary is AMAZING. My kitty is sweet but particular about who she hides from or greets. She LIVES Mary and greets her at the door just as she does us. I always know when I have to travel that Luna is in excellent hands. Mary treats her with such love.”

Heather M.

“We were very nervous to leave our cat alone for a week. Haley was attentive and patient during the meet and greet. She was empathetic to our nervousness and sent extra pics during her drop ins to make sure we felt confident Albert was doing okay. We especially appreciated the pics of his food and water. She listened and followed our instructions, made sure both locks on our doors were secure, and we came home to a happy cat and a home in perfect order. Will absolutely be booking with Haley anytime we need care for Albert.”

“Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.”
