About: (Pet photography services are included with each booking and available separately- just book a drop in or walk!) My name is Sadie, I grew up in Baltimore County and am studying Animal Behaviour at the University of Aberdeen. I am 21 years old and started pet sitting at 12 years old, I have experience with a variety of animals from dogs and cats to farm animals (horses, pigs, sheep, cow, chickens, etc.) and all kinds of exotics. I am very experienced in feeding, walking, crating, training, giving medicine (including shots), bathing, etc. I've lived and worked with rescue dogs and pets that are anxious, avoidant, and even aggressive so I am prepared for any type of personality. I love meeting and bonding with new pets as each one has their own unique quirks, needs and personalities. My main focus is pet sitting, it takes priority and allows me to have plenty of time to care for pets! My weekdays and weekends are available for full-time care, drop-ins and overnights. I have many years of experience with pet and house sitting staying in my clients' houses while they are away. I am able to adapt to the schedule and environment of the client and pet. I can crate them, take them outside on a leash, keep them off furniture or out of rooms they're not supposed to be in, etc.

Brian was absolutely wonderful with our Bernedoodle puppy Oreo! Despite Oreo being a 60+ pound bundle of adolescent energy, Brian handled him with patience, confidence, and ease. He was always on time, professional, and genuinely caring. Oreo absolutely loved his visits and that says everything. Highly recommend Brian without hesitation. Will definitely book again!

About: Hello, I’m Sabrina! I have always been involved in animal care spaces. I volunteered as a behavior volunteer for several years at Friends For Life Animal Shelter, where I learned about canine and feline behavior. I am certified in canine and feline CPR and first aid through PetTech! Your furry friend is always safe with me! Last summer, I worked as a canine care attendant at The Barking Muse where I walked dogs, monitored day care, facilitated activities and basic training, and cared for our boarders! I’d love to continue my pet care journey with you! Currently, I’m a college student home for the summer, so my schedule is wide open! I’d love to fill my time by providing quality pet care! I always meet the pet where they’re are at. I will never force a pet to anything it doesn’t want to and believe in understanding their behavior and boundaries. Through this method I’ve successfully addressed anxiety in both cats and dogs and formed meaningful connections!

Rachel is wonderful! She accommodated my request for booking with minimal advance notice. She sent me great feedback and photos of her visits with my pets and I could tell when I got home that they got lots of love and attention. She alleviated all of my anxiety/guilt leaving my pets at home. I will absolutely request her next time I need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone in need of drop in services!

Victoria has proven to be very reliable, and has been very accommodative to changes in my schedule. She comes to watch my Yorkie puppy during mid day, and takes extra care to play with him and watch him in the yard. She’s been a huge help, and have no problem trusting her with my pup and home.

Elizabeth was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional, friendly and responsive. I felt so safe leaving her with my cat Shredder, especially given her background in pet care and veterinary medicine. Thank you so much for your grace and understanding during the past 2 weeks, it truly meant a lot to me. 100% would recommend to anyone in the area seeking pet care.

About: While I may not have much professional experience I have owned a variety of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to bunnies and squirrels! I even interned at a veterinary office. I currently work a full-time job but I am looking to fill my time with pet care during the evenings after 4 and all day during the weekends. I am aware of dogs and cats body language and by understand them, I can better help support their needs. I can redirect when necessary and calm energetic behavior.

Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town. Our two babies were well fed and watered, and the more social one got some attention and play from Paulina too. The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!

About: I’ve spent many years caring for animals of all kinds and am comfortable with pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs. I can maintain feeding schedules, administer basic medications, clean up after pets, and make sure they stay active and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to quickly build trust with animals. I pay close attention to routines and behavior changes so pets feel safe and well cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own and focus on providing reliable, compassionate care Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I build my schedule around making sure pets receive regular feeding, exercise, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get plenty of interaction, playtime, and a calm environment while they’re in my care. Because I keep a consistent routine at home, pets staying with me can settle in comfortably and maintain their normal schedules as much as possible. I’m attentive to their needs throughout the day and make sure they receive the care, attention, and structure they’re used to When pets stay in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Safety is very important to me. I keep a clean, pet-friendly space and closely supervise pets to make sure they are comfortable and secure. I also pay attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. Communication is a priority, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed about how their pet is doing during their stay. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and part of the family while they’re with me. 🐾

I needed last minute coverage for a trip - my regular sitter couldn't be available the first and last (bookend) days. Alex was quick to respond and take on the responsibility. Very grateful. She was available to WhatsApp visit to get the layout of the property and Hoagy's needs.
