Pet Sitting Hillsmere Shores

“Leigh was very attentive with Karen! She played with her, spent time with her, wrote thorough reports on their time together, and was overall very communicative. She even left Karen a toy (which she loves, thank you!!!) Leigh went above and beyond and I would absolutely book her again.”

Ezekiel P.

“Laura is fantastic! Laura sent pictures and wrote out detailed notes on what she did every day! Very communicative, respectful, follows care instructions to a tea and always on time! She is great and we will definitely be asking her to watch our 2 fur babies in the future!!”

About: I get a lot of pleasure assisting busy professionals with their pet sitting needs. I provide a nurturing and loving environment for your special pets in a very tranquil setting. Your pets will be treated as if they were my own. My husband and I will treat your pet with the utmost care and attention. References available upon request.

“Thomas is great with our pups, and very reliable; even last minute! He’s pleasant, kind and responsible. I really enjoy seeing the Rover Cards with his notes, pictures and activities. We look forward to using him again!”

“Shelby is amazing! While we were out of town, she stepped in promptly when an unexpected issue arose with our original sitter. She eased our anxiety and took great care of our dogs. She is trustworthy, kind, and communicative; all traits you want your sitter to have. We are excited to work with her again in the future!”

“Heather did such a wonderful job doing lunchtime and dinnertime drop-ins to take care of my senior rescue Poppie! She understands a senior dog’s needs, and he’s always so happy and relaxed when I get back home. As a new dog mom, she’s one of the few people I trust with him!”

“Megan was so wonderful! We booked super last minute but Megan responded right away. The photo updates she sent were amazing, and we could tell in the pictures that our cat, Sharon, loved her. Megan even got some action shots of our cat playing with the laser 🤩 This was our first time ever using Rover, and the care and detailed updates made us feel so much more comfortable. Megan was incredible - highly recommend!”

About: Recently I moved away from my two big, affectionate, quirky dogs who have given me lots of dog experience: playing, walking, dog beach days, hikes, and just hanging out giving dogs the individualized quality time they deserve. Having grown up with pets, my experience is thorough, my personality is calm, quiet and attentive. I have experience with walking and caring for dogs other than my own and with overnight dog sitting, nannying for families with dogs, and spending time with dogs we have watched at our house for other families. Pets should get intentional and quality time, love, and play time, and I am a very patient, responsive, and dedicated person who would love to help out in giving this to your dog/s! I’d love to be available to meet and care for the pups you care so deeply for in your busy times. Dogs fill my cup! I am available and flexible. Willing to work with whatever you may need. Weekends, weekdays, mornings, daytime, evenings, I will coordinate with my schedule and yours as well, contact me to discuss availability. Most importantly I can honor owner's requests. Time spent meeting and learning your pet is always helpful and preferred before caring for them. Depending on the service, let’s discuss your thoughts!

“Elizabeth was very prompt and professional. My pets are not used to me leaving and she went above and beyond what was expected for each visit. I felt like she was really paying attention to both of my pets specific needs and personalities. She was very flexible with my requests and worked with me to accommodate my pets. I will request her services again if I go out of town.”

Jennifer A.

“Diana was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cat! Our dog is older, very anxious with new people, and takes several medications. Diana put her at ease, and handled her so well that we had no worries while we were away. Our cat is a super chill boy, who loved his time with Diana. Diana sent many great pictures and updates so that we could rest easy during our trip. It is so rare that we find someone to care for our pup who she can actually relax around, and we are so happy to have found Diana. We will definitely be using her services again!”

Kelsey C.

“Amanda was wonderful with Wilson! So responsive, easily accommodating, and trustworthy. I'll certainly use her in the future!”

About: I have been walking and sitting dogs for over 20 years, starting at age 11 when I realized dogs just made sense to me. I have owned hounds my whole life and currently share my home with a spirited beagle/jack russell mix named Tate who keeps me well-practiced with high-energy breeds. I recently lost our beloved 11-year-old foxhound mix Juniper, a gentle 70-pound soul who reminded me daily why this work matters. I am a firm believer in Cesar Millan's calm, assertive approach to dog handling. Dogs respond to confident, consistent leadership, and I bring that to every walk and every stay. I am comfortable with all breeds, large and small, and experienced administering medications and hands-on therapy when needed. I work from home in central Annapolis, which means flexible scheduling and plenty of attention for your dog during the day. Your pup is a member of your family and I always treat them like a member of my own. I own a design firm that I run out of my home. My work varies as a creative from video work to graphic design and more but it all comes from my home office located right next to my dog's food and water bowls (my hound dog Tate is currently asleep at my feet- exactly where he loves to be, and right where I love to have him). My workdays typically start around 7am and I work through the early afternoon, occasionally in the evenings. Though I have a full office setup, I also have a laptop that travels with me during house/dog sitting sessions if I need to be away for an extended period of time. As my work is on the creative spectrum, I can always adapt my schedule to fit around yours (and your pup's). Whether it's daily walks or stays with your dog, you can rest assured that they will be looked after with love, care, and the attention they deserve. I live in an apartment in Annapolis so we don't have a fenced in yard. Instead, I take my boy out in the neighborhood on short and extended walks and in the community dog park. Sniff spots and local trails are always on our schedule as our dog is high-energy so he thrives on long walks with lots of smells. Depending on your dog's needs and routine, I'm happy to take them on long walks in and around your neighborhood and parks they're comfortable with, or just playing with them in your own backyard. I'm also open to taking them further out to nature hikes and trails as long as you're comfortable with that. I tend to have Blue Buffalo, Newman's Own, and Charlee Bear treats at the ready (but of course that's up to your discretion) for good dogs and I always adhere to any diet or medication requirements to ensure a happy and healthy experience. I treat your dog like I treat my own and I've always had a great experience with every breed and personality.

About: Hi everyone this is an update as of July 2026. I am a retired American Airlines Flight Attendant. I like to travel, do volunteer work, workout, meet my good women friends for coffee, lunch, etc, and spend time with my partner (a retired pilot). We occasionally sit together and he enjoys all my lovable pets as much as I do. I am about as risk free and responsible as they come! Hopefully, I can help out those who need pet/ house sitting. Also available if you just need someone to come for a few hours. These services are for dogs under 20 lbs and cats. If you have larger dogs that do not require walking, I can let them in and out (if you have a fenced in backyard) play with them, exercise, feed, water, meds, etc. Otherwise, if they need walking I need to stick to the under 20lbs. I can sit and housesit/ visit cats also, my only request is that there is a room for me to sleep in that the cats do not use. Yes, I am slightly allergic and I do wear my mask when brushing them. I have unfortunately, put my Bichon/ Maltese of 16 years down about 4 years ago. So I do not own a dog or cat at present. She had a collapsed trachea and some heart issues and was starting to have high risk seizures at 16. Hence, I am familiar with elder dogs and giving them medications. Before Maddie I had a female golden who lived to be 15 and 1/2. I have also owned two cats over my lifetime. Thank you for your interest and let me know if I can help you out. Also feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I am retired with a couple of hourly volunteer positions and I travel on occasion. Consequently, I have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) special attention! Unfortunately, I cannot have the Fur babies over to my house because of my landlord's restrictions, but more than willing to come by to let your dog out for exercise, walk, feed, water, snuggle, and give medications. I can also spend the night while you're on vacation, check your mail, and water plants.

About: My family and I had two amazing dogs growing up who recently passed away, and I’ve really been missing that kind of dog love. I just graduated college and would love to spend more time around pets while gaining more experience caring for them. I recently graduated college, where I was a student-athlete majoring in criminology and sociology. I’m looking to gain more hands-on experience in animal care while I'm in the application process— and have a pretty flexible schedule! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar surroundings. and following their routines, including feeding times, walks, and play sessions. I make sure to provide regular updates to the owners, giving them peace of mind while they're away.

About: All my life, I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, energy levels and routines. I have experience in handling reactive dogs of all sizes as well as couch potatos. You can count on me to follow any specific feeding routines and dietary needs, as well as administering medications. Pups, kitties, bunnies, and everything in between are welcome! I'm currently working a flexible part-time schedule which gives me plenty of time to walk your reactive pup, play with your crazy cats, or sit (and crochet) while keeping your pets company! Most pets don't want strangers in their space! I pay close attention to body language, and let them set the pace so each visit feels as safe and comfortable as possible. When staying in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, waste cleanup, playtime, medications, and as many walks as requested. I keep your home secure, never invite guests over, follow household instructions, and always clean up after myself.

About: As someone who loves to travel, I know the importance of having trusted and communicative pet care. I have had two cats for 12 years and was lucky enough to become a dog mom when my husband I met 4 years ago. I have experience with walking and caring for our friends pets as well. I have a hybrid work schedule, so my availability is flexible for you and your fur baby’s needs. I can do early mornings, lunchtime, evenings, and overnights. We have a fenced in backyard that our dog enjoys and a covered porch that our cats enjoy. We can accommodate any animal and separate all the animals if feeding time is an issue.
