“Ashleigh was amazing! Each visit she provided pictures and updates on how our cat was doing. She did really well with our cat’s insulin injections! We will definitely use her again for future visits.”

About: As an avid pet lover, friends and family turn to me to help watch their furry family members when they’re away from home. I’ve been a trusted dog sitter and walker for years and hope I can help you with your pet needs! I’m a stay-at-home-parent with local family support so I can dedicate time to your pets whenever needed! Mornings, evenings, and weekends are best, but with enough notice I can cater to your pet’s needs throughout the day. While pet care in my home is not currently available due to a reactive dog of my own, I am perfectly happy to provide most services to your pet in your home. I’m intimately familiar with all collar and leash types, crates and play pens, “puppy pads,” medications, bathing, and more. With the right tools and proper communication, rest assured that I will meet every expectation as your pet sitter!
“Dalton was awesome! He dropped in on cats twice a day while I was on vacation and always made sure to give updates, which I really appreciate! By mid-week both cats were comfortable with him and didn't hide. Dalton also went above and beyond and watered my plants for me!”

About: While I may not have much professional experience I have owned a variety of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to bunnies and squirrels! I even interned at a veterinary office. I currently work a full-time job but I am looking to fill my time with pet care during the evenings after 4 and all day during the weekends. I am aware of dogs and cats body language and by understand them, I can better help support their needs. I can redirect when necessary and calm energetic behavior.
About: I have several years of experience providing dependable and compassionate pet care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have cared for both small and large adult dogs through regular walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, ensuring they receive the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am comfortable handling energetic, strong dogs as well as senior dogs that require a gentler approach. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every dog, and I treat each pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to check in on pets. Prefer morning walks and late afternoon walks.Have an open schedule. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their regular routines. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, let them outside for bathroom breaks, clean up after them, administer medication if instructed, and spend quality time playing with and comforting them. I also keep the home clean and secure by bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and ensuring doors and gates are locked before leaving. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while they are away.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand the care, attention, and patience they need to stay happy and healthy. Through caring for my own dogs over the years, I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and recognizing when a dog may need extra attention or care. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment while your pet is in my care. I will treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. As a teacher on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's care. I enjoy being active and love taking dogs on long walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I will work to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet's individual needs and routines. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and, with owner permission, can take friendly and social dogs to local dog parks for additional exercise and enrichment. I will provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you're away.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reliability I bring to every pet and home I care for. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including having two dogs of my own in my family's home and caring for cats throughout the years, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I also have experience pet and house sitting for neighbors and family friends, caring for dogs, cats, and small mammals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, playtime routines, medications, and providing extra patience for shy, anxious, or senior pets. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I always try to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and reassured. I make it a priority to send updates and photos and to treat every pet with the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own pets. In addition to caring for pets, I’m very responsible when it comes to house-sitting and keeping homes clean, secure, and well cared for while owners are away. I’m currently a college student home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are most comfortable in familiar environments, so I make sure they receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific routines or preferences each pet may have. I also pay close attention to pets’ behavior and comfort levels to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Safety and trust are very important to me, so I always keep homes clean, secure, and respected while providing care. I’m also very communicative and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy and in good hands. Since I’m currently a college student home for the summer, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and supervision throughout the day.
“Paul was a life saver. I had to leave my almost 5 month old Bernedoodle for the first time for a work trip and was quite nervous about it. Ozzie and I have become super attached to each other this winter stuck at home. Paul jumped in and did daily visits for me- even took him on walks in the 20 degree icy conditions. Ozzie did great with him and I couldnt be happier. We also have an 11 year old that enjoyed Paul’s company. They played a lot of ball together and he wore my little babies out!”

About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 8 years and pet owner of 20+ years who is highly experienced in animal care and petsitting. As a cat, horse, and previous dog owner myself I understand that our pets are our family! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I work part time hours and am off weekends and holidays. I’m happy to spend my free time playing, walking, and spending time with your pet! While at work crates, gates, or free roam can be used depending on your pets needs and comfort. Pets will be monitored through pet cams during working hours. While in my home pets can have free roam or access to a crate depending on their needs and comfort. For walks I utilize harnesses and if needed can add a back up slip lead if owner feels more comfortable to ensure safety. Pets will always have access to fresh water and toys and will be well loved while in my care!
“I was on a cruise, my dog was sick (at home), my son/dog sitter got sick and I needed someone to take my dog to the vet - Jalen said yes w/o hesitation! I ended up having him walk her for a few days but just the fact that he said yes speaks volumes about his character and love of animals. I will use him again and again and again. Thank you Jalen.”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was 12. I currently work at The Diggs at Paws and Claws.

I currently have a very flexible schedule and am able to do most hours for sitting. I can switch my schedule around to fit others. My neighborhood is very safe and secure. I have a nice backyard and park next door to my house. I will always make sure your pet is taken care of.
About: I love taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. My Rottweiler recently passed away and I am looking to continue caring for animals outside of my own. A number of people have trusted me with walking their dogs, housing their dogs and kitties, and even bathing them. I’m happy to help you next! I am a work from home student, so I will have all of the time in the world to give your pet-child all of the attention in the world! Although my yard is not fenced, I live in a safe neighborhood and will never take my eyes off of your pet. I will always keep their leash with me, seat belt secured, and doors locked.
“Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town. Our two babies were well fed and watered, and the more social one got some attention and play from Paulina too. The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!”

About: 💗 If your pet needs someone who’s going to do more than just feed them and head out, I’m your girl!! I genuinely love getting to know each pets personality whether they’re the clingy type who follows you everywhere, the zoomers at night, or the pet who pretends they don’t like anyone (until they secretly do like my orange cat which is now super affectionate). 💗I have two cats of my own a boy orange cat who keeps me entertained every day and a girl black tuxedo cat who’s basically my little shadow. Having my own pets has taught me how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else, so I never take that responsibility lightly. I treat each pet I care for as I would my own. 💗 I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for around five years, caring for everything from fresh new born kittens/puppies to older cats/dogs who just want a quiet companion. I work as a travel home caregiver too, and actually a lot of my clients end up asking me if I can come back just to spend time with their pets when they’re away. I think animals can sense intentions from humans and want company for the ones who actually care and show them love. 💗 I’m a very patient person, so I don’t mind taking things at your pet’s pace. If they’re nervous, I’ll let them warm up to me. If they’re full of energy, I’ll match it. If you’re working on basic training or trying to keep them on a routine, I’m happy to help stay consistent while you’re gone. 💗 I know every pet is different, and that’s honestly my favorite part. Earning a pets trust and make to them feel comfortable is my goal. I want you as a pet parent to come home to a happy pet who was cared for and needs were attended as if you never left. Most mornings start with the gym or a run, then I meal prep before heading to work. I’m a Med Tech, GNA, and travel home caregiver, and I’m also studying Computer Science with a Nursing minor at Morgan State. On my days off, I’m usually reading with my book club, playing my PlayStation, or having a movie night. I keep a pretty balanced routine, so I always have the time and energy to give pets the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I look forward to pet sitting, it’s always the highlights of my week. I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I provide attentive care, regular feeding, fun playtime, and plenty of affection to keep them happy and stress free.

About: I started by caring for my neighbors' pets and fell in love with the job! Since I only take on a few furry clients at a time, your dog will get my full, undivided attention. Whether it’s a long walk or extra couch cuddles, I’ll treat your pet like my very own family. I work a full-time 9–5 job in the financial field and am available for pet care during evenings and weekends. I’m very flexible, reliable, and dedicated to providing a safe, caring, and dependable environment for every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and playtime. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owner is away. I also love to provide check ins and photos so their owner can feel confident while away!

“Michelle was an amazing caretaker! We had to be away from home for a long time, and she visited our two cats everyday! I don't know what we would do if not for her care. She was on time every visit, very good with the cats and her reports and pictures! She was also great to deal with any other issues that emerged over our long absence, couldn't recommend her more! You can entrust your pets to Michelle without any worry!”

Sarah was amazing with our puppy Billie. She was always on time for the check-ins and left great notes and photos to help let us know what was happening and how she was doing. She went above and beyond and will definitely reach out to her again the next time we go away. Thank you Sarah!

Josh is the best! He agreed to meet and get to know our pets first which took the worry away knowing he was kind thoughtful and responsible. He was flexible with the schedule and so good with our rather anxious dog. Our dog actually seems calmer was brushed and well cared for while we were away! and he is even leaving food in his bowl after Josh suggested he may need more food cause he seemed hungry and so we said ok and learned Josh was right maybe that was all it was cause now he doesn’t inhale it in 5 minutes! He also was flexible when I had a last minute thing to do and needed his services for the weekend. Can’t say enough great things really glad I tried this service and was lucky enough to get Josh!

Suzanne took excellent care of our two dogs over the weekend when we were out of town. She came when scheduled even when all sorts of activities were being cancelled because of extreme cold. She medicated, Wales, and fed both dogs, visited with them, and successfully medicated both dogs. One of the dogs resists taking her pillls but Suzanne managed nicely. She also handled our other dog, who can be reactive, in a calm way that made him comfortable with her. Highly recommend her. And when I say extreme cold the temperature on Towson with wind chill was around -10.
Paul was a life saver. I had to leave my almost 5 month old Bernedoodle for the first time for a work trip and was quite nervous about it. Ozzie and I have become super attached to each other this winter stuck at home. Paul jumped in and did daily visits for me- even took him on walks in the 20 degree icy conditions. Ozzie did great with him and I couldnt be happier. We also have an 11 year old that enjoyed Paul’s company. They played a lot of ball together and he wore my little babies out!

Kelsey was so great with our dogs. She kept in good communication with me and kept me updated with what was going on with them. She even sent me updates of our cat who wasn’t included in our agreement. Looking forward to scheduling with her again in the future!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
