“This was my first time leaving my 8 month Cockapoo Phoebe with a sitter. After reading reviews about Beth on line & then talking to her by phone, I felt confident my little friend would be in good hands - and she was. She had 1-2 other dogs to play with which helped socialize her & provide much needed play time. Beth is obviously very knowledgeable about dogs and, as a certified trainer, knows many simple but effective ways of handling dogs. I feel sure that Phoebe had excellent care and warm and loving attention while at Beth’s. I would definitely call on Beth again.”
“Tippy really enjoys the time at Faith's. We received photos and he seemed to be having a great time. This is definitely where Tippy will stay when we are out of town.Highly Recommended.”
“We needed an emergency sitting since our previous solution couldn't address our needs at the last minute. In comes Megan to the rescue! She could not be more pleasant and while our dog isn't necessarily comfortable with strangers, he warmed up to Megan and they were best buddies by the time we picked him up. Would definitely recommend and use her again.”
“Our pup Colt had a great time with Jessica. She has such an accommodating and pet friendly property. Obviously a pro when you meet her, would absolutely recommend for anyone who is in the area!”
“Amber is amazing! Very attentive and her professional and personal (has pets too) advice and care makes such a difference. So flexible! I needed her last minute and my dog Chadley felt so loved and cared for! I will be hiring her again and again. Chadley adored the time spent!”
“Janel was a wonderful caregiver for our small shy rescue dog Amos. She tried hard to win his trust, and she succeeded by giving him the type of attention and care he needed. I highly recommend Janel and will certainly use her again the next time. Carol. August 2023”
About: I have hands-on experience raising and training three dogs of my own, currently aged 2, 3, and 4. I’ve cared for them since they were puppies, handling everything from basic obedience training to daily walks, feeding, grooming, and socialization. I’m a nursing student home for the summer and looking for a fun, active way to earn extra income. I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or some playtime in the yard, your pup will be in good hands! Your pup will be cared for in a safe, loving environment at my home, which has a fully fenced-in yard perfect for play and exercise. Dogs are always supervised and treated like family whether we’re enjoying outdoor time or relaxing inside, your dog will feel right at home.
“After a stay with Wade, I was worried that my dog Pisco wouldn't want to leave. Wade took Pisco on a couple of forest and town walks each day. He played with him. He took the kind of care that I would - and I love my dog. I was impressed and super appreciative. I highly recommend Wade if you need someone to care for your beloved pet.”
“Michelle was so incredibly wonderful, I honestly feel like I have hit the jackpot with finding her and her husband. My Griff was so happy he didn't even realize I was done. Hands down best experience I have had thus far! Will be a repeat customer!”
“Crystal took such good care of my girls! Her patience and love of animals is obvious. She does everything possible to keep the girls safe, healthy & happy. They loved the walks and I loved the pictures and check-ins Crystal sent. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pups!”
About: Hello! I’ve had a dog through my entire life. I have experience with puppies as well as elderly dogs. I also am experience in handling deaf and blind dogs, as my dog has these impairments. I currently work full time while in law school part time. I am available after 4:00pm on weekdays. On the weekends, I can be flexible. Just shoot me a message! I have one small dog who is house trained. We take her for walks around our neighborhood or leash her in the yard. She will remain away from any animals that I would be caring for as she is a very old girl.
“Kristina was very open and caring for my fir kids. She sent pics often and was very helpful when my older dog had issues when I was gone. Thanks so much for your care”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for a year but I also had a cat growing up. When I did have 2 cats they were my world. I enjoyed every minute when I had them. I’m very passionate about caring for cats. I was working full time at the hospital but I’m free every day Monday-Friday until I get the job that I want but after I get that job I’m still available I don’t have a fenced back yard but my neighbor is a pet friendly environment. I’m near a park that is safe for animals as well.
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, I also helped out at our local animal shelter ! I’ll be more than happy to watch your beloved pets !! I’m available throughout the week at anytime !

“Kristin stayed in contact with me the whole time Rizzo stayed with her. She sent me daily pictures, and answered any questions I had about his stay, which put my mind at ease. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I have watched multiple types of dogs including: shih tzu, Yorkies, Pomeranian, lab, poodles, redbones, border collie, boxers, pit bulls, jack Russells, and Chihuahuas. I have bathed, cut hair/ nails, brushed, and given medicine to many dogs. I have fed, watered, walked, ran, and scratched dogs. I have kept multiple dogs overnight, during the day and in the evening. I have taken dogs to the vet, let them out periodically, and just stopped by to give them some attention also! In the end, I really truly do love all dogs and I just want to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have availability through out most evenings from 4pm - 11pm. I could also do some earlier in the morning for a couple hours with enough notice. Weekends I’m fully free. I can also do overnight and then morning drop offs if needed. Or I could keep them at my house during the day and stop by a few times to let them out (I’m right next door)! I will give them food / water / medicine when directed. I will give them treats when deserved or directed. I will take them on walks, play with them, and let them out periodically to use the bathroom. I will give them lots of cuddles and scratches if that’s something they are interested in!
About: I have had dogs ever since i was born. I volunteered at an animal shelter and learned all about dog behaviors. This has helped me better understand them. I am currently a full time student at towson university. My classes go no later than 5pm and start no earlier than 9am. Message me for more schedule information. During the summer I can care for pets either in your home or mine. I have a fenced yard and a great walking trail near me so you’re dog will be happy to stay with me :)
