“Heather did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were out of town. She was happy to come by and meet us beforehand so we were all comfortable, and Leon seemed very happy and well cared for when we came home. Will definitely be a repeat customer if we need another sitter in the future :)”


“Katie took extra care with my shy cats, and made sure to give everyone lots of cuddle and play time. I felt very comfortable while I was away. Will definitely use her services again!”


“Emily is so sweet with my Winnie. I really appreciate how quickly she responded to my request and how friendly and kind she is. She took time loving on my girl and sent me awesome pics of her, too! I will definitely ask Emily to take care of Winnie again!”


“Beth did amazing with our highly needy and extremely anxious Cat. She spent time with him and was very patient to work with him in a way where he felt safe and comfortable with a new human in his space. We are very thankful for her and her patience and quality care for our one of a kind, pet! We highly recommend her and cannot thank her enough!”


“I highly recommend Andrew for any pet sitting needs! He checked in on my cat and provided timely updates & great photos! Very responsive & communicative too!!”


“Laura’s is a fantastic pet sitter and her passion for animals really shines through! I had to leave my cat Trixie for over a month and Laura provided highly detailed reports of each visit. She’s diligently attentive to details and a proactive communicator. You’ll know exactly how your pet is doing when she’s caring for them. Your pet will also get lots of playtime! She’s very enthusiastic about making sure your little monsters get all the attention they need and will play with them everyday and will bring over new toys for them to try out! My cat was very well tended to under her care and I would recommend her to anybody!”

About: HI, I'm an active, animal-loving mom of 2 grown boys with 12 years experience of caring for my own rambunctious dog, who passed away last year. I also love to walk! What a great opportunity to combine 2 loves :) I will treat your dog with the utmost care and follow your specific instructions to keep their routine. I will be sure to give them all the attention they want! I am responsible & reliable and can't wait to meet your pup! I have flexibility from 8am-5pm Monday through Friday and can walk your dog 1-4 times per day. Depending on the weekend, I may have some availability in the mornings then as well. Same applies to dog/cat drop-in visits. Currently I’m only dog-walking and doing pet check-ins. When I'm in your home, I will be very respectful of your space. I will also treat your pets as if they were my own and will be sure to keep them safe & happy. Please ensure your pet has up to date vaccinations-thank you!

“Sarah takes wonderful care not just of your pets but of your home! She pays extra attention to pets’ individual needs and preferences, and I feel 100% safe leaving them in Sarah’s care!”



“Elaine came to my house for a drop in visit since we had to be away for most of the day. She spent time with Khola, took her for a walk and gave her a snack. I was comfortable putting my trust in Elaine to come into our house and take good care of our little person in a dog suit. We will also be using Elaine for boarding.”


“Michele was great with our puppy- she was communicative and kind, and Haze was happy as can be when we returned home! Would definitely book her again!”


“Thomas was great. Communication was excellent, and he went above and beyond expectations even with my cats being extra difficult. Thank you sir!”


About: For almost a decade, I have provided dedicated care for my own dog while my family has been away, ensuring their health, happiness, and well-being. This hands-on experience has made me highly attentive to a pet’s daily needs, from feeding routines to exercise and companionship. I understand the importance of maintaining a familiar and loving environment, making pets feel secure even when their owners are away. My patience, adaptability, and commitment to care set me apart—I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am quite literally ready to attend to your dog’s every need just as I have been doing so for my own so long! I am available all mornings, late afternoons, and throughout nights every day of the week. I work part-time from 9am to 1pm, so outside of that I am always available I have a fenced in front yard and backyard, I have a car so I can take them to the local dog park, if your fur baby makes a mess I’m not afraid to clean it up and handle the problem

“I always look forward to seeing pictures of my kitties while I'm away! Elizabeth does a great job of keeping my mind at ease and I know they are in good hands!”


About: I have always been a pup enthusiast, I grew up with a huge black lab, Luke. He was the best dog ever, I’d love to take him for walks and play! As an adult I have many dog friends, my sister has the most beautiful pit bull Sadie. I’ll go to her house when I’m in town and take the dog out, Sadie loves when I’m around!! My boyfriend’s parents have two massive Great Danes, we walk them and take care of them all the time. I just have a huge heart for all of our four legged friends. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me. I’m extremely responsible and cautious while walking and playing. I’m a bartender so most days I’m free and would love to spend the off time walking and caring for animals. Exercise for both of us. I am extremely responsible and reliable. Always courteous and respectful. I would care for any animal as if it were my own, and treat them and my surroundings with the upmost respect.

“She was as great the second time as she was the first. Because of a death in the family I needed someone last minute and Gabriella came through with quick responses and a pleasant attitude. She got along with Kasi, our beloved kitty, and handled the oddities of our home and schedule well. Thanks for the attention.”


About: Hi! My name is Essie Clifton and I just graduated Tulane University with a BA in Communications. I am now home in Annapolis looking to take care of some pups during my gap year, as I plan attend law school in Fall 2026! Growing up, I earned my ice-cream money by walking, washing, and caring for dogs all throughout my neighborhood, from labs, to little terriers, to one giant Italian Mastiff. My own childhood dog (a coton de Tulear named Sadie) was my best friend when I was little, and ever since all puppers have held a special place in my heart. Right now my family has an Australian Shepherd named Hobie, who I have missed dearly while away at college! I am hoping to get into dog sitting not only as a side hustle alongside my studies, but to get to spend time with some furry friends while I miss my own back home at law school. I love and am great with all dogs, big or small, young or old. One special skill I can offer for high energy pups is high energy activities like a run or a long romp around the yard/park, as I run every day! It’s a great way for them to shake off some extra energy. I also am great with anxious, hesitant, shy, or temperamental dogs because I volunteered with a Take Paws shelter my last year of college and encountered many with behavioral quirks, all who just needed some patience and love. Finally, I’ve been told I am an excellent ball thrower and belly scratcher, so your chill pup will be just as happy as your active one. I hope you will consider me to take care of your pup! I am very flexible! If my calendar says available, I can likely fit you in any time of day, since during my gap year I’ll mostly be working various odd-jobs. I have a small fenced in backyard and live right around the Annapolis Cove/Bay Ridge area. Indoor access is available at my house, so long as your dog wouldn’t mind meeting our very dog friendly Aussie. If caring for your pet in your home, I can ensure a clean and seamless experience leaving no mess behind and keeping your pup happy!

About: Hey! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have taken care of tons of my friends’ and family’s pups over the years. I know how to read their body language and always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m gentle, patient, and love getting to know each dog’s personality. Whether it’s walking, playing fetch, or tug-of-war, I’m all about keeping them entertained and relaxed while you’re away. Your pup’s in good hands with me! I am a recent college graduate looking for a full time job, in the mean time I’d like to make some money while also helping others and their pets! All dogs deserve love! I know how to approach a dog so they can get to know me first without invading their personal space. dogs of all sizes are ones i’ve always worked with or even raised ! My dog has a fenced in yard and I’ve taught her how to walk on leash pretty well, she’s still young and a little crazy but fairly a good walker. Treats are always on me for my dog and she is rewarded for good behavior as I am still training her. She always on a leash outside of my home as it is safest for her and other dogs. I am home a lot for her and walk her almost everyday, if she isn’t walked then tiring her out using her toys and other things like lick matts are something I like to use in order to get her energy out. Overall, I am great with old or young dogs, as two of my previous dogs were well taken care of by me in their last years which were 17 and 13.
