“Stacey was awesome! She took great care of our dog. She sent lots of pictures and made us feel comfortable that our dog was in wonderful hands. I would definitely recommend Stacey and use her again.”


“Andrea was great with Mo. She played Frisbee and walked the yard with him. She also updated us on Mo's grumpy roommates, the cats. We appreciated all the extra she did. Great first experience with Rover.”


About: I've taken care of pets professionally since I was college-aged, worked in 2 kennels with additional care given via baths, nail trims, etc. Have also owned dogs and cats all throughout my life. Comfortable with all sizes. I work from home, so I'm available all day to take care of your pet! I have a 1 year old black Labrador who is so sweet and loves to play, so hopefully they can wear each other out! I have a fenced yard and a black Lab that is very sweet and friendly to keep your pet company! She's probably more excited to see them than I am! You can expect frequent potty breaks, administered medicine I'd needed, and lots of playing!


“Katie was great! I didn’t worry about our pups at all while we were gone. She even picked up mail and cleaned a couple things for us. She sent photos daily and our pups loved her!”


About: Hey there friends, My name is Hope. I’ve spent over 10 years walking dogs and caring for pets throughout Boston, NYC, and now as I travel all over. During this time Ive become certified in canine CPR and first aid. Safety first! Lucky for me, I only do non-pet related work on the weekends so I am entirely free to care for your pets anytime during the week. When I pet sit at other peoples homes for multiple days, besides the care and routine of the pets in need to know: when the client would like me to arrive/depart, a preferred place I can sleep, what I can and can’t use in the kitchen (salt/pepper ect), if I can/can’t use things like the washing machine if necessary, general house rules and security.

“Ximena is wonderful! She gave us plenty of support and advice as we transitioned to becoming dog owners in December 2025! Our dog Daisy loved Ximena from the very first time she met her! Ximena is very intuitive with a dog or pet’s needs. She always used positive reinforcement to guide Daisy in commands. She is always patient, gentle and kind with animals. She even gave Daisy a gift when she had moved farther away. Honestly we were so devastated that Ximena would not be able to walk Daisy anymore. We have had other dog walkers but no one as consistent and sweet as Ximena. She always sends lots of photos and detailed messages about the walks. We wish she could still be walking Daisy! We highly recommend Ximena if you need care for your pet!”

“Allison was wonderful. She checked up on my kitty while I was away for a few days and took great care of him. I was anxious leaving him alone but he did fine. She took adorable photos every day and left great notes. She was always very responsive, which was important to me. I will definitely be booking with her again for my upcoming trips. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”


“Hailey is a fantastic pet sitter! We have used her twice now, and even though our kitty is shy and doesn’t come out, Hailey makes sure she is well taken care of when we’re gone. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet care.”


“Disha was amazing!! She was extremely communicative and kept me updated throughout my trip. She went to the store to get some extra litter for my kitten when it ran out and she sent lots of videos!! My kitty looked so happy and excited to see her and she took such good care of him!”

About: Hi! I’m Bridgid, a caring and reliable dog sitter with a beloved pup of my own. I know how much pets mean to us, so I’ll treat your dog like family — walks, playtime, and cuddles, all in the comfort of your home. Happy, stress-free pets while you’re away! I currently work 3 days a week, so 4 days of my week I am free! My schedule is different every week, but it is scheduled 6 weeks at a time which gives plenty of time to plan! I offer services conveniently only at the client’s own home, because I have a dog of my own who I will keep separate! Safety is priority!

“Laura is excellent! She came by for two meet and greets, for the visit was always on time, and the dogs were well taken care of. She's great at filling out the care card and keeping us informed of the visits. Highly recommend, I will use again!”


About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my lifelong love for animals and the care I’ve provided to my own furry family. I have three amazing dogs and a cat who fill my days with joy, and they’ve taught me so much about patience, attention, and the unconditional love pets bring to our lives. On top of that, I’ve spent over five years working with animals, from caring for wildlife during an internship to looking after pets as a kennel attendant for VIP Boarding! I’ve worked and studied animal behavior throughout college, which has helped me better understand how animals think, feel, and communicate. I’ve learned to handle all kinds of personalities—shy, energetic, or senior pets needing extra care—and I always approach every animal with love and understanding. Your pets will be cared for like they’re part of my own family! I work Mondays-Wednesdays 8 am to 3 pm and Thursdays and Fridays 3 pm to 9 pm. Saturdays and Sundays are TBD, but I am flexible! I’d maintain their usual routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, to keep them comfortable. I tailor my approach based on each pet's needs, whether that’s providing mental stimulation for dogs or ensuring cats have a quiet retreat. I’m also experienced in administering medication if needed, ensuring their health and well-being are prioritized. I communicate regularly with pet owners to provide updates and follow any special instructions. My goal is to make sure pets feel secure, loved, and cared.

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.

“Tyra responded quickly and stopped by to check in on my sweetie! She went above and beyond, even took him for a walk!! I truly appreciated her help at the last minute! Thank you so much!”
