About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life! 🐶 Growing up, I had the joy of sharing my home with two energetic Border Collies, two affectionate Golden Retrievers, and a sweet rescue mutt. From their playful puppy days to their wise senior years, I’ve been there every step of the way. 🐾 I personally helped train two of my dogs as puppies, focusing on positive reinforcement and lots of love—skills I now bring to every dog I walk. 🐾 I’ve also provided senior care for my beloved Border Collie after she suffered two strokes, making sure she was comfortable, safe, and happy during her golden years. This experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of tailoring care to each dog’s individual needs. 💪 As a former cheerleading base, I’m strong and confident when it comes to handling all sizes of dogs. Whether it’s picking them up safely when needed or managing a dog that pulls, I’m fully equipped to keep them secure and happy on every adventure. I treat every dog as if they were my own—with respect, love, and attention to detail—making sure each walk is a fun, safe, and rewarding experience. Let’s make your dog’s day brighter, one tail wag at a time! I’m fully available this summer to give your dog the love, attention, and exercise they deserve! 🐶☀️ With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate daily walks, playtime, and drop-in visits that fit your pet’s unique needs. As a biology major finishing up my degree this fall, I’m dedicated to balancing my education with my passion for animal care. This summer is the perfect time for me to focus on what I love most—making sure every dog I meet has a safe, fun, and fulfilling day. Whether you need a morning walk, an afternoon adventure, or multiple visits throughout the week, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to keep your dog happy, healthy, and tail-wagging all summer long! 🐾💛 I know how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure in their own space, which is why I make sure to treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and care. 🏠✨ Here’s what you can expect when I care for your dog in your home: 🌟 Respectful & Responsible: I always follow your instructions and routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, or favorite playtime activities. I also make sure to leave your home as clean and tidy as I found it. 🐶 Routine & Comfort: I stick to your dog’s familiar routines—feeding, walking, and playtime—to reduce stress and make sure they feel right at home. 🦴 Safety First: I ensure that gates are closed, leashes are secure, and doors are properly locked. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. 💛 Love & Attention: From gentle belly rubs to enthusiastic games of fetch, I make sure every dog gets plenty of love and positive attention during my visits. 📸 Updates for Peace of Mind: I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know your dog is happy, safe, and having a great time!

“Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure our babies were taken care of. She communicated extremely well and provided detailed updates w photos. Thanks again!”


“Christopher was amazing! Our anxious cat came right out to him and loved him! His updates were detailed and he kept us updated on everything! I’ll definitely book again!”


“Rebecca is amazing!! This was my first time using Rover in Baltimore so I was a bit nervous, but Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was cared for. She was super accommodating, even climbing up 10 flights of stairs when our elevator broke. Rebecca is also extremely kind and our kitty loved her right away. Thank you Rebecca!!”


“Nicole was absolutely fantastic while I was traveling out of town for 5 days. She was extremely responsive from the start, very eager to learn about my cat during the meet and greet, and is just an all around sweet person. I highly recommend her for anyone considering her services.”



“Vivien was great! Super responsive and communicative. Asked questions about things and made sure that she was taking appropriate care of my kitties. They were in great hands with her. Would definitely book her again!”


“Shanikki did a great job dropping by and taking care of my two dogs, Angel and Buckey. She kept me up to date everyday and shared pictures of their daily activities. I would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a sitter for their fur kids!”


“Esther was great, and helped us out at the last minute before we flew out for a family funeral. Her responses were quick and thorough, and she was very kind and easy to communicate with. We loved getting the pictures and videos of her playing with our cats. I also appreciate her tidying up the litter area so we didn’t have that to come home to.”


About: I have been caring for dogs, cats and ferrets for most of my life, including some time as a veterinary assistant before transitioning to human healthcare. I'm currently working part time with flexible hours so I have plenty of availability to help with walking, playing or caring for your furry friends. I have a clean, open-space home with a small fenced yard and quick access to Patterson Park. For the first time since age 7, I have no pets of my own and plenty of love to give.

“Evelyn was amazing with my cat, who can definitely be a little persnickety. She was so calm and chill, even when I explained that Pina can bite a little if she’s grumpy— Evelyn took it all in stride, and I’m confident she would be similarly good with other finicky pets! She has a huge heart and clearly just loves animals. When she checked in on my nugget, she sent wonderful pictures of their playtime while I was away, and even washed out the dirty food bowls she had replaced. She was so communicative both ahead of the visit, to plan it, and afterwards too. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and you shouldn’t either!”


“excellent fur buddy thus far! Olivia has great communication with me before and after her visits, keeps me appraised of my pups condition and how he does. So glad we found her!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in middle school and love to see them play with my fur baby. Yours will feel right at home! I’m a recent grad student, so I have LOTS of free time on the weekends. My dog loves to play and will definitely make sure your pup has lots of fun! I have a friendly and extremely playful small dog who will keep your baby company. I have a park in front for lots of walks!

About: Hi! I’m Sophie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for pets of all kinds. I grew up with dogs, spent summers working on horse farms, and volunteered at rabbit shelters throughout my teenage years so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. More recently, I’ve been volunteering as a dog walker and caretaker with BARCS here in Baltimore, where I’ve had the chance to work with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have two sweet senior cats of my own who’ve been with me for 9 years, so I understand how important it is to find a sitter who treats your pets like family. I recently moved into a larger space in Highlandtown with plenty of room for pets to feel at home, and I’m now able to offer overnight stays. I work from home on Fridays and have a flexible schedule the rest of the week, so I’m happy to accommodate drop-ins, walks, or extended stays depending on your needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or cuddly, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m fully available on Saturdays and Sundays, and I work from home on Fridays, which gives me plenty of time for quality care and attention. I also offer overnight stays during the week (Monday–Thursday); I do work in-office from 8am–4pm on those days, so pets staying with me should be comfortable being on their own during that time. In my home, pets have a cozy, safe environment with plenty of space to relax and explore. I keep a calm atmosphere and follow your pet’s usual routines as closely as possible whether that’s mealtime schedules, walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, and I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have two cats of my own who can have their own floor of the house if your pets need some space. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy and stress-free in their familiar environment. Whether it’s litter box cleaning, feeding, giving meds, or keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own.

“I’m thrilled to recommend Erin for any dog-walking opportunity. Her deep love for animals—especially dogs—is truly something special. With three pups of her own at home, she’s no stranger to the joys (and occasional chaos!) that come with caring for dogs. Whether it’s early-morning walks, playtime in the park, or just making sure each dog feels seen and safe, Erin brings patience, energy, and genuine affection to every interaction.
