“Alexia and Jayden were excellent with our very special babies! We have a senior Lab and a 2 year old Lab, so two completely different temperaments. Alexia and Jayden kept me updated pretty regularly, on my dogs eating and activity level by sending photos and videos of them. Coming home my dogs were very relaxed, happy and safe! Which is the most important thing!”

“Matt is wonderful to stay with our pup. We even noticed our husky was sad that he left after the last stay of almost 2 weeks. Sends updates, can replace bulbs, and is a supper kind animal person!”

“Sara took care of our 2 dogs while my family was away for the weekend. She took great care of the dogs, sent pictures and left the house clean and just as we left it. She was attentive to the dogs and followed the routine we usually do with them. I would absolutely use her again”

“Ximena was wonderful to work with. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and kept me informed about how my cats were doing.. It was great not to have to worry about them when I was away. We are new to the area and will be using her when we travel.”

“Adrienne was absolutely wonderful to work with! She sent us tons of really spectacular photos of our pets while we were away, and we were left with absolutely no worries whatsoever. We will absolutely be using Adrienne's services in the future!”

“Celina was great with our two pugs! One of them is very people shy, and she had him snuggling with her in no time! She kept us informed as to how our fur babies were doing throughout the weekend. Will definitely use her again!”


About: As the proud owner to two wonderful little rescue dogs, a cat, some chickens, guinea fowl, goats and sheep, I know how hard it can be sometimes to find care for your pets and farm animals while you are away. I will provide the same level of care and kindness that I would want and expect for my own spoiled pets. Trust is an important part of pet care and petsitting, and I want you to be able to confidently, and without worry, leave your pampered pups and kitties in my care. I live on a small farm in rural Western Maryland, about 20 minutes west of Frederick. I have experience with all kinds of animal care, from horses, cows, goats, sheep, and poultry. I am currently able to provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, as well as house or farm sitting, and in home boarding, as well as hourly dog park style use of our large fenced yard. Your pets will be a happy addition to my family in my home! My whole property is fenced by 4 ft or taller board and wire fencing, with smaller areas sectioned off in the front and back yards. The driveway is gated and secure. I want your pets to feel as safe as my own. I currently work only at home, tending our farm homestead, and have a flexible schedule. I'm able to drop in one or two times a day, or less or more often, as needed. I treat every animal as if it were my own and provide a level of care that I give my own and that I would expect from my pet care provider.
“Highly recommend! Great experience for my 2 pups' stay cation at Jennifer's home. My boys had fun playing with Sammy and they received so much TLC from Jennifer and her family! She goes above and beyond to make sure our boys feel loved and well taken care of while I was away.”

“Jessica was awesome! Our dogs loved her and she really stepped in during a time of panic for us when we lost our original dog sitter 2 days before vacation. 5-star rating all around and we will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have always had a pet in my house since the day I was born. Mostly dogs, but I have also had other smaller pets. I now have one 12 year old chocolate lab and one 6 year old black lab that I take care of everyday. Because of this I have experience with puppies and older dogs, along with dealing with more than one pet at a time. I currently have school from 10:30-2:15 but I am free anytime before then and after that. I also am available almost every weekend if needed. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door to get outside and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I love to take my pets on walks or just play with them in the house or yard.
“Aly was truly amazing. The moment she said my old lady aloof cat had cuddled with her, The stress of leaving my fur kids with someone new melted away. The whole craw absolutely love her and she sent pictures. She just completely put my mind at ease and we’ll be booking with her again.”
“Lauren was great with our pups! We have three big dogs and she sent updates on each one when she let them and fed them! It made it easier on me being gone knowing they were well taken care of. We came home to three happy dogs!! Will definitely be using Lauren again in the future.”

About: I have been responsibly caring for pets since I was 14 years old, which has given me many years of hands-on experience with animals. I currently care for four dogs, including a German Shepherd and mixed breeds, as well as two cats of different breeds. This has helped me develop a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I have experience caring for puppies, adult pets, and senior animals, and I am attentive to how their needs change with age. I am very patient, loving, and reliable, and I always strive to provide a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. I follow routines carefully, respect schedules, and adapt easily to each pet’s unique personality to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I usually take dogs out for walks in the mornings or afternoons, depending on the day and their needs. I prepare their meals daily, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I also provide healthy snacks in the afternoon. I make time for play, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I personally handle bathing and grooming, including brushing, to ensure pets are clean, comfortable, and well cared for. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I make sure pets are supervised at all times and kept in a clean, calm, and secure environment. I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, and any special care needs provided by the owner. I am very attentive to doors, gates, and walk safety to prevent accidents. I also take time to build trust with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for while they are with me.
About: Hello I’m Cat and I’m a 21 years old student. I have an open and flexible schedule and many years of experience with pets. I have helped take care of family friends’s pets for years now. I also have experience with having my own pets with both dogs and cats throughout my live. Growing up I cared for a disabled dog who was both blind and diabetic. I give him insulin injections so I am good with needles and medication. I also gave him the diet restrictions he needed. I would love the chance to take care of yours pets! I am both friendly, accommodating, and I love animals! Thank you!! I complete college courses online so I have a very flexible schedule. I can provide both night and day time care. My open availability makes it easy for me to prioritize your pet’s care! I am open to any care your pet may need. For example creating, feeding, medication, walking, potty breaks, sleep times, cleaning up, cooking certain foods for pets, playing, etc.
“Dominika did a great job taking care of our three cats and tiny dog while the entire family took a long-awaited vacation. We usually leave a family member at home to care for the pets as we have very detailed care instructions. She and her family have experience with our rare breed of dog, Prague Ratters, and our boy Vozel loves her! Excellent communication and photos every day. Will definitely book Dominika again!”
