“We have had Nikki watch our two cats a couple of times now, and we have no intention of looking for anyone else. Nikki is loved by the cats, and always gets one of our cats his meds (no matter how stubborn he is). Nikki is nothing short of awesome”


“We love Erin! She always takes such great care of our kitty Blue. He’s happy and his litter is clean when we arrive home. Erin also stays in touch and sends us lots of pictures of him when we’re away.”


“Dulaney was great! We left somewhat detailed instructions for our young puppy and older dog and she didn’t miss a beat. She arrived on time and provided good feedback for us after her visit. Would book again!”


“We had an emergency and we’re away from home longer than expected. I contacted Catherine who went to tend to our kitties on short notice and eliminated that worry for us. She saved the day!”


About: i have lived with pets my whole life both cats and large dogs. currently we only have cats but I feel comfortable taking care of low maintenance dogs as well. i live in a house with multiple cat and have primary responsibility for some of them including litter box cleaning, grooming, feeding, watering, all basic needs. I have established routines for meeting these needs on a regular basis. I have also lived with dogs in the past and have basic care knowledge on them as well When boarding cats i will provide a separate quiet space to allow for both interaction and privacy. When caring for pets in your home I will try to mimic your routines as much as possible although that isn't always possible.

About: I've had pets starting from the age of 2, I am now 30. Ever since I can remember I have always had so much love to give to any animal I see. Whether it be a dog, cat, snake, or even donkey (yes, I've even cleaned donkey poop). Because I have always had pets in my home, I learned early on the ins and the outs on how to care for them. My first dog was a Japanese Akita, who I had until the age of 15 and was my best friend, which means I have never had any issues or even fear dealing with large dogs. By age 15 I was being asked by family/friends/& neighbors to walk/watch their pet. This particular job has always been something I take very seriously, animals are your family, and I always intend to treat them as such. I will make sure to show each and every pet I come across with as much love as I can, as well as patience and care. I will be sure to send you lots of photos of your fur baby while under my care. Whether it's for a short walk or a long week together! I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available any day to walk & feed your pet/s. I am also available to house sit while you are away, I typically would like at least a week notice. However, I am very flexible. Before starting any job, whether it is just to walk or feed your pet, I require meeting them first. It's important as a pet owner to feel comfortable with the person you are leaving with your fur baby, but most importantly we want your pet to feel safe/comfortable! I have done this with every new animal I have cared for and it always makes it to be a smooth and easy visit!

About: Hi, my name is Mariia-Yelyzaveta! A year and a half ago, I came here because of the war in Ukraine. Now I work to help my family and country and I would also like to have an additional income from something that brings me pleasure. I love animals very much and I myself have a dog Yoshi, which I brought with me. For me, a pet is a younger member of the family that needs to be cared for and enveloped in love. For us, they are just a part of life, but for them, we are their whole life. So our task is to do everything to make this life happy with us. And I'm ready to devote my time to it when you don't have enough of your own! I work on weekends, but I am happy to give my free time from Monday to Thursday. Also, I can take your pets to my house any day of the week and take care of them together with my girlfriend who is always at home and also has experience in taking care of dogs and cats. I have a small dog who is 14 years old, she is calm and well-behaved, but quite playful for her age, so she can be a good company for dogs, and also safe for cats because they are not very interesting to her and she does not react to them. Also, near our house, there are many areas where you can run on the grass, as well as a dog area where you can train them! I am a bit of a worried mother for my dog, so I will take care of your pet as carefully as my own and I’m gonna keep a close eye on it!

About: Experienced dog mom of 5 years, dedicated to providing compassionate, patient, attentive, reliable, and trustworthy care for all animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in your absence. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel completely at ease. I live in Elkridge, Maryland and work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. My days start early at 6:30 AM with a walk and breakfast for my dog before I head out for work. I’m usually home by 4:30 PM and immediately shift my focus to my pup — making sure he gets his bathroom break, dinner, and quality playtime. We always end the night with one last pee break before bed. I’ve always loved animals, and since I don’t have children of my own, I treat every pet with the same care, attention, and love I’d give my own child. I don’t work weekends, so I’m home all day and usually spending time with my dog and husband — whether we’re out exploring or relaxing at home. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. How I care for pets in my home and/or my client's home: Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, my top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, walks, medication (if needed), and playtime — to help them feel secure and at ease. In my home, pets have a clean, quiet space to relax and are never left unattended for long periods. My dog is friendly and gets along well with other pets, especially cats. I keep everything neat and organized, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and care, keeping things clean and following all instructions closely. I make sure pets are comfortable and stick to their familiar routines to reduce stress while you're away. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Grace came over for a drop in visit and a walk for my dogs. She was right on time, and communicated information to me about the visit immediately. I will be using her services for overnight stays in August. With Grace, I know my pets are in good hands!”


“Rachel was amazing to have drop in and care for my cat. I knew from the minute we started our virtual meet and greet my cat was in good hands. I couldn’t recommend rachel enough. She gave me the peace of mind i needed to enjoy my vacation!”


“Allena provided the most detailed updates I've gotten from a sitter. I really appreciated the consistency, I always knew exactly what happened during her visit each day. She was quick to respond to messages and also to let me know about anything out of the ordinary. She clearly cares about animals and knows her stuff. I would definitely work with her again.”



“Joshua was fantastic with my cat Athena. They got along famously when he came for a visit, and I was very happy with the updates he shared during my 9-day trip. He was flexible and responsive and I would happily book with him again.”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, over 12 years of hands-on experience raising litters, caring for both dogs and cats, and helping family and friends with their pets. From Cane Corso Mastiffs and Yorkies to Bulldogs and Frenchies, I’ve cared for all sizes and personalities. I’ve also raised and lightly trained several of my own pets, so I understand the patience and love it takes. I’m very active and love taking dogs on long walks or jogs to help them burn off energy. Even with a full-time job, I make time for animals, offering early mornings, evenings, and weekends with flexible scheduling. I treat every pet like family and always approach each one with care, understanding, and respect. I’m open-minded, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what I do. I just love being around animals, and that love shows in how I care for them. Even with a full-time job, I make plenty of time for the furballs! I’m available early mornings (5AM–6AM) and evenings after 4:30 PM until 11 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends. I’m flexible with same-day bookings, short notice, and I have reliable transportation. Whether it’s a jog, cuddle, feeding, or play session — I make every visit count. My sister’s Dalmatian, Kash, is always up for a friendly dog playdate too! I treat every pet like family, and your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with patience, respect, and attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and understood. If they need to burn off energy, I’m happy to take them on a walk, a jog, or even to the park to enjoy the fresh air. If they just need comfort and calm, I’m there for that too. I adapt to whatever your pet needs, whether they’re high-energy or low-key, and I always care for them like they’re my own.

“Kristin provided great care for my cats, communicated clearly, and went above and beyond after my one cat got sick. I felt very safe knowing she was taking care of them during some bad weather and would definitely use again!”


About: I have provided daily care for my own pet dogs over a span of 10 years. This includes bathing, feeding, walking and even administering medication. I am currently unemployed and looking for work. I have open availability everyday of the week. This allows me the time to take care of and play with your pets! I am very flexible and can guarantee the safety of your pets. If there are specific instructions needed to help me care for your pet, I will be sure to throughly follow through.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s had pets since childhood. I currently have my own furry companion who joins me on hikes, walks, and even swimming adventures! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’m here to provide the same love, care, and fun that I give my own. Whether it’s a stroll around the block or keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I work from home Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and can comfortably do welcome your pet in our home or provide morning, lunch or evening walks. I make sure all pets are comfortable, cozy and well taken care of . Whether those are long walks to get them tired, having a cozy place for them to rest, or just make sure they’re happy to spend time with a human I am there for them!

About: I worked in the animal healthcare industry where pets were allowed to come, stay and hang out with us at the office in DC metro area. Now I work from home and looking to have a fun company at home for a change. We do help our friends & family with dog sitting whenever needed. It's win win for me and for a pet who comes to me since I am very active person. I love playing with pets and love the walks. I love gardening as well so pet will have nice and clean yard to play in. My husband is also pet lover to enjoy the change. We have very clean house and have some rules for pets like not on linen couch without their blanket and not on beds. They are welcome to play have fun anywhere else in the entire house including full basement area to go play + I love bothering them which they love the most :) ** NOTE: All my rover $$ goes to charity and donations so thank you in advance for contributing by sending 4 legged furry friends over my way. Working from home really helps to give them full-time company together. It also helps both of us to take multiple breaks during the day....Win-Win time! Play-time and outdoor time really depends on weather and outdoor conditions to make sure it's safe for them. They will never go out unattended, free and alone when they are on vacation with me ;-)

About: I've been taking care of my personal pets for 20 years. Also, spent time volunteering at vet clinics and adoption centers. I can definitely cover the basics and more! My days are fairly flexible, so I am able to accommodate most busy schedules! The more notice I am provided on a request, the better. Communication with the owner is a major first step in creating trust in this dynamic. You can expect genuine and detailed questions about the pet's routine, likes/dislikes, emergency contacts, etc. You can also expect updates during the pet's stay, which is an easy way to ease your mind as the pet parent. I am informed on basic pet first aid and CPR, and am confident in my abilities to act quickly, if needed.

“Elizabeth is an amazing care taker, when I need her last min she always works around her schedule for me. I appreciate it a lot! And my babies love her.”


Mason L.
“Not only does Mason truly have a heart for animals, he is skilled with them as well. He is patient, calm, and conscientious. Have a dog or cat who is nervous around new people or needs medication? This is who you should hire to ensure they have a caring person who can handle their needs. To top it off, he is trustworthy and on time.”


Tatiana T.
“Tatiana has been taking care of my dogs for 9 years! She is the most trustworthy animal lover and I do not trust most people with my babies. My dog, Daisy, doesn’t care for new dog friends and gets anxious if I were to drop her off in an unknown place. So the fact that Tati comes to my home to take care of my baby when I’m out of town or working a long shift is a LIFE SAVER! I can always trust that my fur-babies are not only safe, but LOVED as they should when Tati is there.”
