“I'm so happy to have found Kelli! My 3.5 month old puppy, Luna, got to meet cows, played with a variety of other dogs, and went swimming for the first time! Kelli provided lots of photos and updates - Luna clearly had the best time of her life! I'll absolutely use Kelli again when needed.”


“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”


“I highlyy recommend. I picked my dog up and he was tired and happy. She took such good care of him and kept me updated with all he’d been up to with sooo many pictures & videos. She was flexible, responded quickly, communicated great. I felt great having him in her hands and will definitely use her again!”


“Renee took great care of our dog at daycare! Good communication and sent pics/updates. Our fur baby came home happy and tired from a day of fun playing with Renee and her two dogs. Would recommend to anyone in need of doggie daycare and will definitely use her services again!”


“Barbara was polite, thoughtful, and kind. She texted to let us know how he was doing about halfway through the appointment, and she shared a cute picture. I would definitely book with her again and certainly recommend her!”


“Alex and Christina were amazing with Bucky. We booked them last minute and they were so accommodating! They gave me regular updates the whole time he was with them - photos and videos. Bucky has separation anxiety so it was a huge relief to have him with people who know so much about dogs and could take such great care of him. The next time we’re having a night out in Frederick we will definitely book them again!!”


About: We are a mid aged couple who both work from home. I've recently lost my beloved Slugger after 13 years and we were thinking of sharing our love, pets, and attention with other pups that need second home temporarily. We have a small fenced in yard, but also will walk your baby. They will not be crated in our home unless you think it's necessary. We will love on your baby as if they were Slugger! We both work from home 99% of the time, but at least one person will be home at all times during the stay. We can let them out the small fenced in yard throughout the day frequently, but will walk them at lunch time and after work, or more. We have no other dogs or children. Slugger recently passed after 13 short years and left a huge hole in our hearts. He was such a good boy. Your baby will be the only child in our loving home and get ALL THE ATTENTION.

“We had Courtney watch our recently adopted Blk Lab, he is handful to say the least. Courtney kept him busy all day playing with her dog. He was exhausted when we got home. Thanks Courtney we will be back soon!”



“I appreciated how fast Charity responded, how she communicated, the opportunity to have a meet and greet, and that she readily answered a couple of direct questions. The fenced backyard was a bonus, and as is the positive energy in their home.”


“I think Monty died and went to puppy heaven. He got to play with Nala, a spunky fun pup and was lavished with attention by all the kids. He literally did not want to leave! All the stars!”


About: I’ve loved and cared for any and all kinds of dogs since I can even remember! Animals are a big part of my life, there’s never been a doubt in my trust by friends, family, or neighbors! Our furry friends are just as human.❤️ I’m currently on the hunt for a part-time job, also working from home, so I’m currently available at any time to come see, walk, and play with your pups! We live in a secured campground. My site is not fenced, however we have hooked up leashes for all our pups to be able to run the radius of our yard only! We always sit outside with our animals. We have other very friendly pups that would keep your dog plenty of company!

About: Growing up, I always did petsitting for family and friends and have always been a pet lover. I have owned several pets over the last several years ranging from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and fish. Currently, I have two golden retrievers, two cats and a guinea pig. I work from home so I can offer constant care and companionship for your furbabies. I also live on a fully fenced lot with almost an acre of land for zooming and playing. I work from home so I am able to provide around the clock care, companionship and plenty of time for play and potty breaks for your furbabies! I am happy to accommodate the needs and wants of your furbabies, from feeding preferences to sleeping arrangements. I will make our home like a home to your babies.

About: I have three dogs along with chickens and I have years of pet sitting experience. I also have 3 years of experience in house sitting. I play on a soccer team but pet sitting and house sitting easily works around that schedule because my practices are in frederick. I am looking to help as many people in the Brunswick/Frederick area as possible. I am a pet person. As I have pets of my own I will probably want to keep your pet home because of how good I am with dogs and cats. I play with the pets and am always keeping an wye out for your pet.

About: I have a reputation at the dog park for the dogs flocking to me as I arrive. I teach them to jump through the agility equipment and roll over. I run with them and give them plenty of scratches and hugs. Our late dog was my hiking companion along the C&O Canal (a five minute walk from our house), local segments of the Appalachian Trail, local parks and the woods and historic district of Harpers Ferry. I’m currently looking for daily opportunities to spend more time with dogs and provide the opportunities they need for exercise and human companionship. I’m very keen on early morning and evening walks during the summer but available most days. Our late dog was a shepherd/retriever mix,I regularly took her to the dog park to play with her friends or to run the short agility course I trained her to run when she was young. I am always on the lookout for poison ivy or possible tick habitats and careful to help the dog manage in potentially stressful situations along the way. I always stop at street corners and do not proceed until all cars have passed (even the ones that insist you go first) so that the dog will understand that we do not cross the street when cars are present.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs, I bring patience, love, and attentiveness to every pet I meet. I understand the unique needs of each stage. Whether it’s potty training, teething, and playtime for puppies, or gentle walks, medication routines, and extra snuggles for senior pets, I’m here to help. I’ve cared for dogs of all temperaments, and I truly believe that every pet deserves to feel safe, seen, and loved. I approach pet care with the same heart I bring to caring for people, full of integrity, compassion, and reliability. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat them like family from the moment they meet me. Pet care is a joyful and important part of my daily life. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, making sure they get the attention, playtime, and consistency they deserve. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits throughout the week, and I offer flexible weekend availability as well. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for every time. I care for every pet with the same level of love, patience, and attention I would give my own. In your home, I follow your routines closely to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I respect your space, keep things clean, and always make sure doors, gates, and feeding areas are safe and tidy. If caring for pets in my home, they have a quiet, calm environment with plenty of affection and supervision. I pay attention to their comfort, body language, and any special needs so they feel safe and at ease. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet by being reliable, gentle, and fully present during each visit.

About: Hello! My name is Astri, and I have been watching dogs and cats for over 17years. I occasionally pet sit my brothers dog Milo. He is a husky and lab mix. He is the only large size dog that I pet sit in my home because he has been in the family since he was a pup. He is more like my nephew then a pet. I’m currently only willing to watch small dogs at the moment. I want to be able to provide the best care for your furry kids and be able to protect and keep them safe especially during walks. I am a stay at home mom, so this means I am available for boarding on weekends, week days, and holidays. All day 24/7 care. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood and near by walking trails. Your pup will enjoy its walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

Alexia K.
“Lexi has been around multiple dogs and cats her whole life. Taking them outside, making sure they had water and feeding them was never really asked upon her...she just intuitively did it. At the tender age of 8 she attended a 2 week long zoo retreat, because she wanted to work with animals. Her fearlessness, courage and respect are what animals sense from her, that's why she's never come across an animal that didn't feel her calmness. She truly loves every animal!”

Noah P.
“Noah is so good with our dogs. He always goes above and beyond taking care of them, even sending us photos while we are away. He also cleans up any messes the dogs may make while we are gone. Our dogs are always happy to see him!”




Karen G.

“Very kind people, treated Leo really well! He can be anxious in a new place and they were patient and very understanding. Would happily book another stay with Karen and Greg.”


Eric S.
“You could not ask for a better pet sitter and pet lover than Eric S. He is drawn to dogs especially and they to him. At the local dog park we call him the dog whisperer, because when he walks in the gate, all of the dogs run to meet and greet him. I guess it doesn't hurt that he carries treats in his pockets! But, even without the treats, they automatically go to him! He and my Franz (a Bernadoodle) are best buds and Eric has him sitting, staying, jumping fences and through hoops, and rolling over at the slightest command. Eric recently lost his own dog, Lucy, prematurely to cancer. Since then, he's been asking all of us if he could borrow our dogs to go for walks! He's always prompt and responsible, and he carries water (and treats of course unless you tell him not to!). The dogs always come back wagging their tails in delight and very sorry to see him leave. Franz watches him from the living room window as he leaves and goes down the sidewalk, already missing his friend and eagerly awaiting his return. You could not ask for a more sensitive, caring and compassionate and responsible person to care for your animals.”


Berenice B.
“Berenice took such great care of our dog. He warmed up to her right away, and it was clear she really cared about his comfort and happiness. She stuck to his routine, kept us updated with sweet pictures, and treated him like her own. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’d definitely trust her with him again!”


Astri R.
“Astri has watched my 6 year old shipoo on many occasions. From over night to a weeks length at a time. Each time my little guy never wants to leave, I’m not sure if it’s because of all the snuggles or her pure interaction with him, either way, Astri has been great and has developed a bond with my guy that he just cannot resist.”
