“Emma has been absolutely wonderful. As a dog owner, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She is professional, reliable, always on time, and communicates consistently, which gave me so much peace of mind. But beyond being professional, Emma is genuinely sweet and caring. Remy absolutely adores her. If he could talk, I’m sure he would tell you how much he loves her! Every morning, he would wait by the window for her to arrive, and the excitement on his face when he saw her said everything. I’m incredibly grateful to Emma and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to look after their dog. She is truly special!”

“I have been extremely satisfied with the dog walking services provided by Cornell over the past months. He has consistently demonstrated exceptional reliability, arriving punctually for every scheduled walk and maintaining clear communication throughout our arrangement. His genuine care for my dogs has been evident in the detailed updates and photos he shared after each outing, ensuring they received attentive, safe, and engaging exercise. I highly recommend his professional and trustworthy services to any pet owner seeking a dependable dog walker.”
About: Just beginning to do pet care, but have been a dog owner for over 50 years and a cat owner for over 40 years. Have also owned small animals (ferrets). I am currently retired so I have a very flexible schedule. Would be able to come to your house or do day care at my resident.

About: I am new to Maryland, I am originally from Greenville SC! I grew up there my whole life. I developed a loyal clientele over the span of 5 years. I started with neighbors, their friends, their friends, and so on. I was very happy with the level of networking I was able to accomplish, I am excited to enter a new state and meet your sweet furbabies. I am a full time nanny, I work 6am-9am then return to work from 3pm-8pm. I would be able to provide overnight care, be with them during the day (walks, affection, and up to 5 hours of attention). I don't work on weekends, so I am fully avaliable. I am not able to provide housing for animals where I live, becuase of my landlord. As for in the clients home, I like to come and meet the animals before accepting the job. I meet the pet with the owner present to show them I am safe and welcome. If a written care packet is not provided, I bring my own notebook to document routine and special care. I strive to keep their routine the exact same, while building a bond with your pet/s. I write and keep track of everything ahead of time so when the client is out of town/ busy they will only recieve photos (upon request) and/or emergency situations.

“Theresa is amazing! So happy she was willing to help with my lovely dog who has a lot of energy and can be reactive on walks. She was able to tend to his needs and be accommodating. So happy to find her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’m happy to follow specific instructions and give each pet the individual attention they deserve.

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with over 8 years of professional animal-care experience. I’ve spent 4½ years at Banfield Pet Hospital and 4 years at All Dogs Club, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, high energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and dogs who need medications or extra attention. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines, providing positive reinforcement, and giving each dog the individual care they need. As a dog mom to 3 dogs myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan my availability around my work schedule. I currently work Sunday from 3–11 PM and Monday–Tuesday from 2–11 PM, which leaves me available during the mornings and early afternoons on those days. I also have greater flexibility Wednesday through Saturday. With my veterinary background, I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable building pet care into my routine. I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and consistency they need while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of love and attention. As a CVT, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and overall well-being, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different ages, personalities, and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets and your home.
“I am very thankful for Yesenia and her services. My husband and I went out of the country for a week and Yesenia was available to come to our home every day (sometimes twice a day ) to walk our 4-year old dog. I appreciated Yesenia’s flexibility in coming to meet us first to see if it was a good fit. She kept me updated and overall, I felt like my girl was in good hands.”

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
