“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience boarding my dog pea. I really appreciated the updates and the quick responses and pea seemed to be very comfortable while she stayed with them”


“On her second stay with Schejn and family, Maggie had no problem leaving us when we dropped her off. Very happy with her care, and it is nice that they are close.”


“Freya had a great long stay with Irena and was well loved the entire time. It was great knowing that our dog was in good hands. Would recommended and look forward to using Irena again!”


“Donald was great with our quirky, senior greyhound. His patience and kindness is much appreciated and gave us peace of mind leaving her for the first time. Thank you Donald!”


“This past week, I had an evening event in Ocean City, and needed someone to take care of my fur baby overnight. After reading the reviews on Kristen, I decided she would be a perfect fit! Her location was just minutes away from Ocean City, so if there was an emergency, I would be able to get there quickly. Plus, driving from the DMV area, it was easy for drop off, and pick up. My Frenchie suffers from extreme separation anxiety, and always wants to be the center of attention. Kristen works from home, so was able to provide the attention he seeks. When I picked him up, he was content and calm, so I knew that he felt secure at Kristen's home. I would definitely use her again, and highly recommend her. Thank you Kristen!”


“Liliana was great with Boh. She kept us updated on how he was doing and it looks like they kept busy. He looked great when she dropped him off and I could see he definitely liked her. We will check with Liliana first the next time we need someone to take care of Boh.”


“Our dog had a wonderful experience staying with Cynthia and her husband. I felt very comfortable leaving him for the visit. Just like a family member taking care of him when we were away. She kept us updated with how Rudy was adjusting with pictures and videos. My husband I will definitely reach out to them again the next time we need a dog sitter.”



“Kathy took great care of Kimi. She kept us updated with pictures and comments throughout her stay. We will hire her again when we need someone to watch Kimi in Ocean City.”


“Jeanne was sweet and was happy to make our girlies comfortable. She was also flexible with her schedule to have the times we needed. Absolutely recommend!”


“Dianne & Jim were excellent! They really took care of Bentley and checked in with me multiple times a day! Gave me relief to know my dog was in such great, caring hands!”



“Our Prince had a great time with Kelly!!! She was very helpful when it came to the needs of Prince and went above and beyond for his needs! Would highly recommend and we will definitely use Kelly in the future! Thank you so much for caring for Prince!!!”


“There are not enough stars on this!! To say that things went well at Oliver's first stay with Jocelyn and her lovely family is an understatement. They truly treated him like family. We received pictures of all the loves he was getting daily. They even managed to get him to co exist with their dog!! It truly warmed our sole and kept our minds at ease while we were over 12 hours away from home. Will definitely book again!”


“We just used Olivia again to watch our golden for a weekend and she is the best!! She is constantly sending so many pictures and updates of our pup and I know he is in great hands! Will also use her when needed when we are in OC!! Would recommend her to anyone 💗💗💗”


“Karen and her husband are SO nice. I felt really comfortable leaving Chrissy with them and Chrissy seemed really happy staying with them. I will gladly be sending Chrissy back!”


“Margaret took great care of our two Yorkshire terrier mix dogs during a recent 6 day stay. The dogs were very comfortable in her home and got a lot of love and attention from Margaret. We will definitely be using her again for any future needs. Margaret is home most of the time and has a fenced outside area, which is something we were looking for. Getting the daily photos and updates was much appreciated. She also seemed to genuinely enjoy having the pups stay with her. Great Sitter! Thank you!”


About: I have two dogs, one 12 years old, adorable mutt, weighs 85lbs. Another 4 years old, pomeranian-mix, 25lbs. I dog sit for Trusted Housesitters, too. I can walk, feed, and possibly keep your dog overnight provided they get along with my pups. I work three days a week, available other days. Retired teacher wanting to stay active. What better way than hang out with dogs. I will care for your dog like my own. I will follow your instructions for your pet. I would like to know ahead of time if your dog gets along with other dogs; is it necessary to move to the other side of the street when another dog walker is approaching. I prefer your dog have a harness if they pull when leash walked. Our dogs get on the furniture and sleep at the foot of the bed, we have dog hair. That’s life!! Our dogs are spoiled and family.

About: My earliest memories are of growing up on a farm surrounded by cows, horses, pigs, goats, roosters, and a mini pony that didn’t like to listen. No joke, roosters were my alarm clock growing up! Living with animals taught me responsibility and compassion from a young age. I learned to be patient and attentive, as caring for pets requires understanding their needs and emotions. This upbringing instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature and the importance of nurturing all living beings. As I grew older, I began volunteering at the Humane Society. Having the opportunity to work with animals brought me immense love, joy, and happiness! Even though volunteering often meant I was responsible for cleaning all the cages, I cherished the experience. In addition to my work at the Humane Society, I became a foster mom for animals needing a little extra help before they were adopted. As the years went by, I had this constant feeling that I was missing something. So, I started picking up shifts at a grooming salon and also worked to launch my own pet service business. I realized it was time to transform my passion for animals into a meaningful career. I have embraced each day with joy, nurturing and pampering the animals that bring light into our lives. Every animal is a unique treasure, and I approach each session with heartfelt patience and meticulous care. NEW CLIENT MEET & GREET Schedule a FREE meet and greet today!

“Jill took amazing care of Saffie, sending me lots of photos and even giving her a pawicure before she left! I would definitely use her again!”



“Granger is a 12 year old rescue who is afraid of nearly everything and everyone. It takes time and patience for him to establish trust. He was almost immediately comfortable with Mary Sue. When I picked him up, he dashed toward me to greet me, then went back up the stairs as if to go back to Mary Sue. And he ate. Amazing to see him so comfortable, so quickly.”


“Amy is an angle. She was so down to earth and I felt at ease leaning my boy with her. She kept me updated throughout the entire day with pictures and videos. She took my baby on an adventure with lots of trips and care rides which he loves. I told her what he likes and didn’t and she made sure to do all the things he loves. In every picture and video she sent I saw how happy my baby boy was. Definitely booking with her again! Thank you so much he had so much fun and you showed him so much love. 😊😊”
