About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and respect I have for dogs. I believe dogs are not just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I treat every dog in my care with patience, kindness, and attention, just as I would my own. My goal is to give dog parents complete peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. • Puppy training & obedience reinforcement • Senior dog care & medication administration • Positive reinforcement training • High-attention, compassionate care • Reliable routines & clear communication • Puppy training & obedience reinforcement • Senior dog care & medication administration • Positive reinforcement training • High-attention, compassionate care • Reliable routines & clear communication I allow pets on all furniture, my bed, my chairs, couches. I don’t believe that pets shouldn’t be allowed on furniture. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I currently have ample time and flexibility to dedicate to dogs in my care. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, training reinforcement, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. After recently losing my own dog to kidney failure, I understand deeply how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. That experience has strengthened my commitment to providing attentive, compassionate care and treating every dog as if they were my own. I’m able to give dogs my undivided attention, whether that means extra comfort for senior dogs, structured routines for puppies, or simply being present to ensure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. My goal is to give dog parents complete peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is receiving the same care, patience, and love I would want for my own.

About: I currently work in an animal hospital, where I care for dogs and cats every day and have gained hands-on experience handling pets with different personalities, ages, and medical needs. My hospital also offered boarding services, so I have experience supervising pets, feeding them, administering medications when needed, cleaning kennels, and making sure they are comfortable and safe while away from home. I'm currently a college student who is off for the summer, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I work in an animal hospital and have experience with pet care and boarding, so caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and feel comfortable doing. I'll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you're away, and I'll treat them like one of my own. I can provide pet care exclusively in the clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I can follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care requests. My experience working in an animal hospital has taught me to pay close attention to animals' behavior and well-being, so you can trust that your pet will be safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they're my own.
“Bryanna was amazing with our shy new kitty. Brought her out of her shell and made her more comfortable in her new home. An unbelievable help and I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur baby!”


About: I've been caring for animals for over 30 years and have loved pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by both cats and dogs, and that passion led me to work at an animal shelter where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years, I've had the joy of raising dogs ranging from tiny Yorkies to large Presa Canarios, and today I'm the proud owner of a 5-year-old Border Collie whom I've had since he was just 6 weeks old. I've also cared for senior dogs, including my own beloved senior dog who lived to be 15 years old. Caring for him throughout his senior years gave me firsthand experience with the patience, compassion, and special attention that older pets often need. I'm equally passionate about cats. My current cats were abandoned by their mother at just 4 weeks old, so I bottle-raised them myself. They're now almost a year old and thriving! I've also cared for senior cats, including my beloved cat who lived to the remarkable age of 22. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, big, or small, I will care for them as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I strive to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care every time. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with the same love and care I give my own. Feel free to give me a try! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a fairly flexible work schedule. This allows me to be available for pet visits and care in the early mornings, midday, late afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or simply companionship while you're away, I can provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to follow their routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you're away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, litter box cleaning, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and regular potty breaks. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and supervised environment where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of exercise and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs, personality, and comfort level. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals with special needs, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and communication. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they're away.
“Sandra is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to care for our pets and communicated consistently . Our older dog had stayed with the vet because she was sick and we realized that upon our return from vacation the vet would close earlier than our arrival. Sandra not only took care of our younger dog and cat but also picked up the older one from vet and brought her home. I can tell she loves her job and my fur babies truly enjoyed being cared for by her . Second time using her and plan to continue doing so for long term travel!”


“TeQuila once again has provided great care to our cat. She visited daily for feedings, litter box cleanings, medication administration and quality time with our cat. Our cat loves her and I can tell that the feelings are mutual. She is our go-to person for care services.”

About: I have cared for dogs over 25 years. I have taught my children how to care for and love dogs. Although, we currently do not own any pets- we put our love on your pets. I work from home 5 days per week until 2pm. The children are all home by 5pm when they can walk, feed and play with pets together. I will only care for your dog in my home. When I am home I walk, feed and allow playtime for your dog. We always have fun!!! I ask that your fur baby is caged trained and shots are up to date.
About: I’ve had dogs for over eight years now and I care for them as diligently as I can. I love any and all pets so if hired I’ll care for them as my own I’m currently working part time in the afternoons from 3-6 along with play rehearsals on Tuesday’s, Thursday’s, and Saturday’s (I’m not called every day) but during the day I’m free for sitting, walking, and playing. I’m good with animals and consider myself a playful but still diligent person. I know how much love and care goes into taking care of a fur baby and follow instructions to the letter so you can rest assured your pet is getting the best care
“Amber did a fantastic job! Our cat is incredibly shy, but she seemed well taken care of an happy when we got back home. It was wonderful to see a few pictures of her everyday!”

“Very good with communication, was on time, and even got my Mocha to play and gave her lots of cuddles and love! Absolutely adore Pond. I look forward to Mocha having future visits with him! 5 🌟”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 6 then I got another one that was all my responsibility when I was 15. I went through basic, intermediate, and advanced training and I hold titles in all of them for my dog. I’ve dog sat my friends little Yorkie mix and I myself have a 90 pound golden doodle and a 45 pound Irish troodle so I’ve been with and handled dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had a love for animals and not to brag but all the animals I meet love me too lol. I am very responsible and have been taking care of dogs for a long time now. I am a new grad school student with a part time job. My schedule is pretty consistent and flexible week to week so feel free to reach out to inquire about scheduling:) If I am caring for a pet in your home all I ask is that you give me some instructions of what you would like me to do and I will be happy to do that.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for my 3-year-old shih-tzu. Through years of hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of daily care, routines, grooming needs, and reading dog behavior. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. Im currently a college student so on my down time I would love to care for your furry friends! I am available on weekends, primarily mornings/afternoons , on Mondays & Wednesday’s from 7am-12pm, and on Fridays I’m available before 5pm. On Saturdays I can only do mornings (8am-11am). If you need a certain time please let me know and I’m sure we could make something work! I have a fenced yard and one shih-tzu so your fur babies aren’t lonely! I also have a stray cat who stays outdoors around my home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, piranha, bunnies, turtles and rodents, etc! I have always loved and seen animals as the more primal side of our nature but that’s one of the purest forms of love that one can give! I am currently working full time at NIH, and after about 3:30pm, I work with animals around my community. Weekends I like to volunteer with people struggling with bigger dogs and temperament issues. Walking and leash training is key in my experience. I have a big yard for good time and to keep them safe! I love being outside, and making sure that the animals are safe while doing so is of the utmost importance to me !

About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.
“Samantha is amazing with Dallas! He loves seeing her for his mid day break when I'm not home. Thank you for always providing such care for him.. love the updates during the day.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets throughout my lifetime, starting at the age of 7. I’ve had fish, turtles, cats, dogs, and bearded dragons. So my passion for animals across the board runs pretty deep. Though currently I’m unable to have a personal pet of my own, that has no effect on my ability to take care and love on the pets you cherish. I have 2 dephews (dog nephews) that I love very much, as if they’re were my dogs and that’s the closest I’m able to get to a personal pet at this time. Nonetheless, my passion for animals has drawn me to the idea of becoming a dog & cat walker/sitter and I think I will find a lot of joy and fulfillment in this. I’m currently unemployed and have a very flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs daily or weekly attention, I’m definitely the girl you need for the job! I will care for your pets in accordance to how I would want my pet to be treated. With respect, and love. I’m very attentive and will be sure to take care of your pet to your specific wants & needs.

Alexis was absolutely amazing while we were out of town! She took such great care of Uno and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Uno was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!

Diana came at short notice to meet all my rescue dogs with their quarks. She took the time to get to know them and allow them to warm up to her. She was flexible and very easy to work with. She sent me updates letting me know I didn’t need to worry about my babies while I was away. I would recommend her if you’re looking for a caring and compassionate sitter.
