“Rita is absolutely amazing. We've had some trouble in the past with Charlie the escape artist, but Rita gently kept him inside despite his protestations. Maggie our shy baby even came out of her shell for pets. As if that wasn't already enough, Rita also took the time to care of our local ferals who hang out on our porch. I cannot express enough how valuable we are for this peace of mind, while on tour.”


“Jessica was great taking care of my cats on short notice. She left detailed notes and updates every day and checked to make sure they were happy and healthy (even the one that likes to hide under the bed)! I was completely satisfied with her service!”


About: Since childhood, I've been trusted to look after other people's pets. I grew up with dogs of my own, as well as animals of all kinds, so I have a lot of experience with pets of all personalities and temperaments. I also worked with a vet for three years, have a biology degree with an emphasis on animal science, and have a special needs pet myself, so I'm confident giving medications, maintaining any recovery care, or whatever else your dog may need. I'd love to be friends with your pup! I am self-employed and currently work from home most of the week, so I have some flexibility when it comes to scheduling! I am available for drop-in visits or walks Monday-Friday. As all of my services will take place in the client's home, I will follow any instructions that the client gives me in regards to pet care. It is my goal that your pet's routine is as uninterrupted as possible.

“Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”


About: With 6 years of caregiving experience, and a customer satisfaction rating of 4.9/5 stars, I pride myself on being knowledgeable, patient and reliable. I have worked with cats and dogs from birth to as old as 18 years. I love animals and it shows in my work. I am the person who goes the extra mile to make sure your pet is has the most compassionate and highest-quality experience, whether it’s a 30-minute walk or a week long, overnight stay. I have boarded, walked and cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, ages and temperaments, administering medicine, reporting on behaviors, training, and more. I am responsible, cautious, detail oriented and I am sure that I would make a great fit as a caregiver for your furry friend! I work full-time but have an overall flexible schedule. My mornings are very flexible, allowing me to commit extra time and attention to pets. I do not work weekends or holidays so my schedule allows me the capacity for boarding and overnight stays during particularly busy times of then year for pet parents. I take pet care and safety very seriously. I am vigilant to avoid door dodgers, leash evaders and even the occasional fence hopper. My large, fenced in yard gives pets the autonomy and freedom to explore where I can keep a close eye on them from the outdoor patio or screened in porch. My own animals are crate trained and well socialized due to my many years of boarding experience in-home. I am well equipped to facilitate first introductions, and have the space to accommodate furry friends who may not be as eager or willing to socialize with my animals. Lastly, my SPCA volunteer training has taught me how to identify behaviors and make informed decisions when handling animals or entering their homes.


About: I am a stay at home mom to 2 girls, ages 4 and 5 and we recently moved to the area! My husband is in the Navy. We live in a townhouse in North Beach, MD. I have a cat that can be timid with new animals, and tends to hide until he feels more comfortable. I would love to help out with your furry family members! I hate when I have to be away from mine so I would give them tons of love so they feel comfortable and at home while you are away. I am available for all needs except for pet sitting in your home, since I have kiddos that need me at my home. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. I am with my girls a lot this summer but they would LOVE to accompany me on visits with your pet! I will have a lot more independent time this fall once they start school. We do not have a fenced in yard but I would be happy to do as many walks as needed for your pup! Our cat can be weary with new animals but he hides and then warms up quickly.

About: With over 15 years of experience, I am a caring, patient, and dedicated animal lover with a unique “dog whisperer” communication skill that helps me build trust and connection with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior companions, ensuring their specific needs are met with compassion and attention. I am responsible for the daily care of three wonderful dogs: a Presa Canario, an Akita, and a family member’s Welsh Terrier. Each day, I ensure they are well-fed, walked, and engaged with plenty of playtime to meet their physical and emotional needs. Managing two large breeds alongside a smaller, high-energy terrier requires understanding each dog’s unique temperament and energy levels. I tailor their routines to ensure they feel loved, secure, and fulfilled. Whether it’s a brisk walk, interactive play, or simply giving them the attention they crave, I’m committed to providing them with the care and companionship they deserve. My services include personalized walking routines, tailored feeding schedules, and administering medication with precision and care. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a comforting cuddle, or specialized care, I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and happy while ensuring their overall well-being. Your furry family member will be in trusted hands!

“My wife and I are incredibly pleased with the service provided by Jordan. This was our first time using this app and it went so smoothly. Jordan met us a few days ahead of time and she was very kind. We have two large dogs so we were a bit nervous initially but she handled them very well. Having Jordan care for our dogs really gave us a peace of mind and allowed us to be worry free when it came to leaving our pups. Thank you again Jordan! We will most definitely be booking again!”


“Diana was amazing. She was on time and sent photos. She was easy to reach out to and we felt really good about having our dog taken care of by her. We especially were pleased with her coming to meet us. I would highly recommend her. We hope to use her again.”


“I just want to thank Jenna for taking such good care of my fur baby, Bailey. I haven’t even returned from my trip yet but seeing all the pictures and updates lets me know she is in awesome hands!”


“Lisa is great with our pups, despite our younger one being very stranger-adverse. She is patient with them and ensures they are okay which means my work day is less stressful.”


About: I’ve had my knee replaced which has slowed me down a tad but also allows me be to home all the time. We recently lost our old boy (dog of 12 years) and while my cats have helped me to survive, I have so much more love to give! For now I want to spend time with others’ dogs to help fill the whole in my heart. I genuinely want to make every animal a friend of mine! I will always lead with love, care and respect. I work from home already which is usually stuff I take care of in the evenings anyway but I have the time, love and space to accommodate your furry family members. We currently have three lovable cats and one old dog that we recently took in. The cats have been around lots of animals and just want love. The dog struggles to move around too much so keeps to himself mostly. We have a big open area indoors for them and lots of yard as well.

I schedule my days around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and cuddle breaks. I keep a consistent rhythm for pets, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s morning walks before breakfast, midday potty breaks, or evening playtime, I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, provide fresh water at all times, and make sure they get regular walks and playtime. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like family.

About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll. Whether it’s a lively adventure or a calm, scenic walk, I treat your furry friend like my own—ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.
