About: I grew up fostering animals from the Humane Society of Harford County, caring for animals with the range of young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. And, yes, I’ve “foster-failed” a few times, and have multiple cats and dogs of my own. A house isn’t a home without a fur baby. I am a middle-school teacher who currently has full availability now that summer vacation has begun. I’d love to fill my time off by caring for your four-legged friends! Fostering animals with a variety of backgrounds, training levels, capabilities, etc., has given me a lot of experience with creating a safe and happy environment.

“Jennifer is an excellent and reliable individual to hire for all your pet walking and sitting needs! Always on time, responds to messages quickly, and puts in the extra work to show care for animals above and beyond a walk.”


About: I've had my own dogs since I was a teenager, and I've cared for most kinds of cats, dogs, and small rodents. I'm attentive, detail-oriented, and can't wait to meet your pets! I work a hybrid job local to the Bel Air area, so I’m available to help out on evenings and weekends. I am currently only available for drop ins and walks.

About: I have always had dogs growing up since I was a baby. I have been around dogs all sizes from Shih Tzu’s to Saint Bernards.

I have a yard for my dog to run, outdoor tent for my cats to be outside, and two birds cages for one inside and one outside.

About: I am an avid dog lover and owner. I have had a dog in my life since I was 11. I’ve owned a lab, a mini-Aussie, an Aussie rescue and a golden retriever. I often pet sit for friends because I just love dogs. My 3 sons are also big dog lovers and enjoy playing with them. I am off during the summer, and if we aren’t on vacation, I am happy bringing dogs wherever we go. I just love dogs During the school year, I’m more limited on time devoted to puppy sitting. Dogs would be uncrated, unless you provide one, for 6-8 hours. However, in the summer, I have more time and flexibility. Dogs stay in our upstairs, have access to water and toys, and can lay on our couch. We feed our golden 2x per day. Dogs also typically sleep in our room and have access to a dog bed. They get lots of love and daily walks .

About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.


“Heather is the most thoughtful, caring and attentive person when it comes to our furbaby Brinley! We could not say enough great things about her!! Heather was a lifesaver and we are forever grateful! After some negative experiences previously, we sought out a new dog walker as soon as possible. We reached out to Heather and with no questions asked or hesitation, she agreed to take care of our Brinley and walk her without meeting her or us for that matter beforehand. We came home to a sweet and thoughtful gift for Brinley! It was by far the cutest ever :) Heather even came back to our house to meet us and talk about Brinley- to get to know as much as she can about her. We can really tell that Brinley loves her walks with Heather from all of the smiles in her pictures. Brinley has never looked so happy! Heather even completes the Rover cards with some humor, pictures and details about their walk and alerting us to an upset tummy or possible issue to watch for. This woman even brought in our garbage can for us! Seriously, we could go on and on. Heather is fantastic and your furbabies would be well taken care of as if they were Heather's own!! :)”

amelia p.
“Amelia is a responsible and caring individual. They have helped care for my dog Niko in the past and were very attentive. Every time Niko would see or smell her presence he would wag his tail from joy. Amelia currently has one cat named Cheyanne and she takes great care of her by taking her cat to the vet when necessary and keeping her happy with toys and treats. All of her pets have always been very happy. She even took great care of her rats by providing them with toys, handmade decorations, and freshly prepared meals. Amelia responds to texts in a timely manner and would keep me up to date on my pets during trips abroad. Overall, Amelia is a great person who loves and cares about animals.”
