Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.

Naya handled all my dog could throw at someone new - from pooping in his crate to trucking her into extra play time outside, naya handled it all perfectly. When I got home, I literally had to reassure my fiance someone did take care of juicy- she left the house with no trace she was here, she only left behind a happy well loved pup! Will be booking naya again!

Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.

Natalie was great with our little guy! She was communicative, punctual, came in clutch for a relatively last minute holiday booking, was patient with our dogs initial stranger danger reaction, and our stranger-scared cat even ventured out to say hi to her. Would book again.

About: I’ve worked at and managed a dog boarding facility for a little over two years in downtown Baltimore. I also have a pit bull mix and a beagle. My beagle is 10 who’ve I had since she was a puppy and my pity is about 5 who’ve I’ve also had since a puppy. My beagle has currently had to undergo a lot of surgeries so I can certainly take care of any high maintenance or elderly dogs. I work a full time job but when sitting or having animals to care for they will get tended to in the morning before work, immediately after I am off and before I go to bed/home. The weekends I am always free. Pets will not be welcome in my home as I have too many animals and unknown factors associated with that. When entering a clients home I will make sure the pet can hear me entering the home as to not startle them. I will always let them sniff me and see who I am before any further approach. Any treats that are allowed to be given while owners are away I will give. It ultimately depends on the animal and what is communicated to me about the personality and behaviors. I will always Ask questions if I am unsure of anything and never assume something based off the way I care for my personal pets. Everyone has different instructions and I intend to honor them.

Liz and Rich took amazing care of our recently adopted dog and our 2 cats. We came home to pets who were calm and happy and interactive - even our shy cat. To me, this is what it's all about, knowing your pets were well cared for and given lots of love. Will definitely use them again!

Bria was fantastic. This was our first time booking with her and the meet and greet went smoothly. She took excellent care of both Hampton and Neko and kept our home clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We are already looking forward to having her sit for us again soon. Highly recommend.

About: I am a young-professional living in Baltimore and ready to care for your pet(s)! I have a black cat of my own who I spend most of my time with, but love all animals. I have fostered cats and dogs with my family since I was in high school, grew up with a dog, and have cared for friends and family pets regularly. I work from home a majority of the time so my schedule is flexible and I can make it work for you and love your pets like my own. I am excited to walk your dog, play string with your cat, and ensure they are well-cared for while you're out. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Happy to check in mid-day during your 9-5 and on weekends! I aim to spend time with your pet and make sure they are comfortable and taken care of. I have my own cat and she has made it clear she is happy as an only-child, so I can't have other pets in my own house. But I am happy to come to you! I will make sure they have the food, water, toys, and pets they need until you're back. I know it can be stressful to leave your pet at home, so I will make sure they are safe and happy.

Susan has been an amazing sitter for Dobby. She went above and beyond to take care of his meals since my dog is the absolute pickiest eater you can ever come across. She also took him out on long walks, kept him engaged and made sure that he felt absolutely at home and safe in my absence. She was also very kind to him and took incredible care of him when he had an upset stomach for a couple of days. I will definitely look forward to having Susan sit Dobby again in my absence.

Christine is AMAZING! She dog sat our two dogs while we were out of town, one of which never likes anyone but took to her right away. She regularly updated us and put us at ease. She went above and beyond while staying with our babies. It’s so hard to find a good sitter and we’re so grateful to have found her!

Kathleen was great! She house sat my pup Sadie last minute and communicated just the right amount, sent great pictures, and left the home looking untouched! She was very flexible and I appreciate her double checking on things before leaving the home. My small dog can sometimes feel anxious after she has a sitter, but Sadie was happy and calm when I returned from my trip so I know Kathleen did a great job. I definitely am very appreciative and will book again!!

Emily was amazing, my boys loved her, and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. She was professional and very communicative, the daily photos helped so much. Even when encountering some unexpected issues (on my end) and with Atticus boycotting his meds, she handled them with grace and went above and beyond. I could not recommend Emily enough!
