“We were very pleased with Meghanne’s service! She stopped in on the schedule she agreed to and went out her way to try to make the cats comfortable with her. She sent some cute pictures and a thorough update after each visit. We would definitely use her again!”


“Amanda was awesome & took good care of my bunny Scottie! She was very thoughtful in updating me and I could tell my Scottie had come to trust her over the week of her drop in visits.”


“Amanda did an awesome job. We had a last minute booking and she even went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day of the booking. The updates were great and she even spent some extra time playing with our dogs. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Amanda!”


About: Hi, I’m Viv! I’m a stay-at-home mom to a toddler boy who absolutely adores dogs. My passion for pet care began back in 2007, and since then, I’ve had the joy of raising six dogs—two of whom required specialized care due to significant health issues such as diabetes and kidney issues. This experience has given me a deep understanding of administering medications, injections, managing special diets, and maintaining consistent routines for dogs with unique needs. My husband and I recently adopted a high-energy puppy who keeps us on our toes! We live on a spacious property with plenty of room for walks and outdoor playtime. While our yard is unfenced, we use a secure dog line to ensure our pups can enjoy the outdoors safely and freely. At this time, I’m available for boarding at my home 7 days a week, and drop in visits/walks only on Sundays. If you have any questions or want to learn more, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect with you! Last minute requests are typically accepted and welcomed ❤️ I am currently taking on pet care full time! I am open all days and hours and can accommodate my schedule easily. I am easy to work with 😊 I’m basically home all day so I’ll be able to give your pup some extra love and care ❤️ My home is also baby proofed with gates so I have the means of separating the pups between rooms if need be, however I have no issues with them making themselves at home and cozying up on the furniture 😊

“Best sitter you could ask for in the area! Responsive and will treat your pets like her own. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will take care of their babies with the most love and attention as possible!”


“Deborah went above and beyond taking care of my animals! Sent a lot of pictures and videos and played with my dogs a bunch outside. She even got my mail while we were gone. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”


About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience that goes beyond the basics. I’ve volunteered at a local dog rescue, fostered dogs in need of extra love and care, and have looked after beloved pets for friends and family for years. What truly sets me apart is the level of compassion and experience I bring. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a laidback senior dog, or even a small pet like a hamster or guinea pig, I take the time to understand and care for each animal as if they were my own. You can trust that your pet — no matter how big, small, or quirky — will be safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I have a guinea pig named Chewy, and making sure he’s happy, clean, and well-fed is just part of my day. I also help care for our family dog, Pierre, whether it’s taking him for a walk after work or helping my parents with him during the day. Because of this, I’m already in the rhythm of daily pet care—from feeding schedules and exercise to playtime and attention. I don’t just make time for animals—I naturally build my day around them. When caring for pets in your home, I always treat the space with the same respect I would want in my own. I follow your rules closely, pay attention to routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m a rule-reader, not a rule-bender—whether it’s specific feeding instructions, leash preferences, crate routines, or off-limit areas, I make sure to stick to your expectations. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I’m there to keep it that way.n

“Anne is the best! She took great care of my cats while I was on a week long vacation and I felt at ease the whole time knowing they were in great hands. Anne was great at keeping me updated with how they were doing, she’s very detailed oriented, always sends lots of pictures, which I love, and went above above and beyond. I can also tell that my cats love when she’s around by how happy and excited they looked. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy petsitter.”


“Katherine was great with Poppy! It was so nice to find someone that would work with our schedule and come twice a day while I was at work. She made sure to take good care of Poppy and was very good at communication. We will definitely be using her again!”



“We have had Chelsea care for our cat multiple times now, she was always very reliable and communicative. She sends multiple photos and responds quickly if I have a question. Also our cat, who is a bit of an elderly grouch, likes her and looks forward to her visits!”


About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.

About: Dogs bring a lot of happiness to my life and make me smile daily. Caring for my own dog, Jada, a sweet pit bull terrier, who stole my heart five years ago, has been one of the greatest joys of my life. She is not just a pet; she is family. I completed two six-week training courses with her and continue to apply the tips and positive reinforcement techniques I learned. I would be happy to incorporate those methods when caring for your beloved pet too. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have helped friends with dog walking, feeding, and just keeping their pets happy and comfortable when their owners are away. I understand that each dog has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to get to know what makes them feel safe and loved. I believe all dogs—regardless of breed or background—deserve love, patience, and the attention that brings out the best in them (including exercise)! Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup (happy to run with them) or giving extra TLC to an older dog who needs a slower pace, I approach each pet with patience, care, and respect. As an ultra-runner, nature lover, and dog lover, I thoroughly look forward to meeting other dogs, going for walks, and providing them with the same affection, exercise, and attention I give to my own. I work remotely with flexible hours (that I create) allowing me to be available for walks and check-ins throughout the week and weekend as needed. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat their space and pets with the same respect and attention I would give my own. My priority is to maintain the dog’s routine and comfort, so I always follow instructions closely. Cleanliness and communication are important to me. I keep the home tidy and send regular updates so the owner feels connected and reassured.

About: I have been pet sitting for many years for both long and short periods of time. I love caring for animals, and I also have a dog of my own!! I am available to pet-sit at all times; my schedule is very flexible! My routine for my own pets requires me to be up very early, so I am around early mornings all the way through the late evening. I listen very carefully to instructions when watching someone’s pet, and make sure to give them lots of care and love when I am with them!!

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of pets. At one point in my life, I had 8 different pets (2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and 2 rabbits). I am currently working part-time, and just graduated from college. I just moved to the Maryland area, and miss my pets from home. I can’t wait to start taking care of pets again in my free time! I plan to do client home visits and walks! I am very comfortable with all ranges of pets, and will be able to care for your pets in any way you ask of me.
