“Ivah did a great job. He was patient with a dog that although nice is initially worrisome of strangers. He kept us informed, was respectful of our home and we would definitely recommend him and use him again. Great Job!!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, starting with my own growing up and continuing by helping friends with their pets. People trust me because I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I make sure each pet sticks to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and happy to care for pets of all ages, including those who may need a little extra attention or a slower pace. I am a student-athlete working part-time, so I keep a structured schedule. I am usually free in the afternoons and evenings, which allows pet care to fit perfectly in my schedule. I enjoy using that time to stay active as well as care for pets, whether that’s walks, check-ins, or keeping them company! I am reliable and make sure each pet I care for receives the attention and care they deserve! Since I live on campus, I care for pets in my clients’ homes so they can stay comfortable and keep their usual routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, and any specific needs, and make sure they get plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to count on!
About: Aside from pet sitting since I was 16, I have two years of shelter work and two years as a vet assistant where I have administered medications, been on seizure watch with epileptic patients, helped deliver puppies and also worked with dogs who had behavioral issues due to rough pasts. I also have helped take care of very elderly and senior dogs and understand the time and care they need, as well as helping with dogs going through their first heat cycle. I currently work very part time, mostly every other weekend with a break in between as well as taking classes, two of which are online, but am typically very flexible for things such as walks and play time. My goal is to make sure all dogs I sit get at least one hour of playtime a day, obviously adjusted for energy level. I am also available to do overnight care for more senior dogs or dogs that need medications at specific times, as well as dogs that do better having someone in the home. My biggest rule when I do overnights is to make sure the house is completely secure before I go to sleep. Your pets safety is my number one priority . I have been trained by my job on how to handle multiple pet emergencies, including seizures, overheating and injuries. As someone who has owned and worked with dogs dealing with joint problems, I make sure to prevent any falls or accidents by keeping the dog in safe areas as well as monitoring activity.
“Quinn is a sweet person and a loving animal sitter. She seemed very trustworthy too. My poor kitty has PTSD and suffers from nervousness and Quinn had him on his back submissive showing his belly the day after I left.🐈 I wish I could use her again but she will be in college for my next vacation. She also has a professional camera and sent me amazing pics of my little man the 4 days I was gone. 💙”

“Ember was absolutely fantastic with our Husky. She played with him, went out of her way to make him frozen Kings, and even BRUSHED him which is a whole chore for husky owners? She made us feel at ease while we were away and helped around the house while we were gone - took out the trash on trash day, gathered/sorted our mail, and went above and beyond washing towels and sheets. We were very appreciative of Ember and will book again!”

“Jayla was patient and loving to our dog who for the first day and a half was acting very weird and hiding out in one of the bedrooms. Jayla was very communicative and her concern showed through her texts. Turns out it was the fire alarm beeping because the batteries were dying. Our dog was very happy once the batteries were removed!! Jayla stayed overnight and maintained a spotless house for when we returned. She was respectful and loving toward our pet.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with a genuine passion for caring for animals. I grew up loving our family Weimaraner named Shadow and later owned a sassy Morkie named Ace, who brought so much personality and joy into my life. While I don’t have a dog of my own right now, I truly miss that companionship and love being able to share that care with other dogs. I work in healthcare, so being attentive, responsible, and safety-focused comes naturally to me; these skills and qualities I will bring to every pet and family encounter. I have spent my career working with children so I am naturally a very calm and patient person. I look forward to meeting your family and fur bestie! As a working mom, I’m available on evenings and weekends, and I’m committed to making sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like family making sure to providing updates, attention, and lots of love every step of the way. I will make sure my care is tailored to your fur bestie’s needs and their routine.
“An absolute pleasure to work with. Elaina did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and sent us pictures throughout the day. She also left our home very clean. I highly recommend and will use in the future.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years and have 2 dogs of my own. I’ve rescued stray dogs off the street before and put them in a safe environment. I was once very active in helping animal shelter. A close friend of mine is a Veterinarian and had asked me to dog sit for her when she traveled, it was a pleasure to handle 5 dogs at a time at her house. I enjoy taking walks in nature with dogs. I have plenty of time to play with your dog and take them on walks. My schedule is open daily and weekly routine as well once established. I love to give dog treats and play ball with them. Taking them on long walks. I can also give them a lot of petting for attention. I will take pictures for updates on their activity.
“Jason is an excellent rover! He has watched our dogs and house sat for us multiple times now. Our dogs love him and he takes awesome care of our two German shepherd dogs!”

“We just moved across the US. We had to go back to our state for nine days. I had a greater peace of mind with Jessica watching our dogs. Very thankful. She sent pictures FaceTime a couple times. To say hi to our babies. I enjoyed the experience. I would hire her again. Kogi and Gus enjoyed her.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Growing up, my family had a Shih Tzu named Peppa, and over the years I’ve cared for several dogs including a pit bull named Blu and my energetic little furball, Oreo. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable working with both small and large breeds. Friends often joke that I’m a “dog whisperer” because I’m naturally attentive to dogs’ personalities and needs. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, and a safe environment while their owner is away. I have experience with basic grooming such as brushing, bathing, and teeth cleaning, and I’m happy to help keep your pup comfortable and cared for. While I don’t do professional trimming, I’m always attentive to maintaining your dog’s routine and well-being. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight sitting, my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you know how your furry friend is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have flexible availability, just let me know and I’ll work with you. I prefer morning and afternoons but if I know in advance I can work with evening schedules as well! There are plenty of grassy areas (including a huge hill that is popular for the pups to run down) surrounding my place. There are also some cool parks that I'd likely take your pup to. I aim to make your pet feel as comfortable/at home as possible.
“Karenna did a great job sitting and walking our high energy shepherd while we were in the area for a wedding. Very communicative and responsible and sent lots of photo updates. Was conscious of keeping our dog safe and happy and we never needed to worry.”

“Keira was great with our old pup Toby while we were out of town. She was knowledgeable about care and Toby was in great hands. She gave updates and photos throughout the stay.”

About: I’ve spent the past year caring for dogs and cats like my own. Lots of walks, cuddles, and playtime! I’m super patient and always take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m a part-time sitter and currently unavailable Monday through Thursday from 3 PM to 6 PM due to work. I’m flexible outside those hours and happy to accommodate morning, evening, or weekend visits! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and always give them the attention they need.
“Thomas was a wonderful house and dog sitter for us and our dog, buddy! He was very professional and communicated with us regularly. We highly recommend booking with Thomas and hope to have him spend time with our buddy again!”


About: I grew up on a small farm in the Maryland agricultural reserve and have experience caring for animals big and small, from dogs and cats to sheep and emus! You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m grateful that my work schedule as an environmental scientist is flexible and remote. It’s easy for me to prioritize pet care to fit within your schedule. While caring for your pet, I promise to treat your home as well as your fur baby with care and respect. I love being outdoors and am happy to take your pet for lengthy walks whether or not you have a fenced in yard.
“Omg! I’m so glad that I found Aaliyah! She was able to stay with Lulu overnight after my original sitter had an emergency. Lulu was so happy and in great hands the WHOLE time! I will 100% be working with Aaliyah again. She really loves your pet like her own and takes excellent care of them and your home.”

Kaye was incredible. She stayed at our place over the Christmas holiday while we were out of the country, and watched over our dog & my mom’s dog as she was also traveling with us. This was an unusual situation because the dogs do not ordinarily live together - Kaye was magnificent at both navigating the little tensions that arose between them, and at keeping us posted about the every-day goings on and how she was handling it. We got updates routinely, and she really went above and beyond in terms of taking care of the house while we were away. Some choice words I would attribute to Kaye: trustworthy, responsive, and thoughtful. Will definitely be hoping Kaye is available the next time we have our-of-town plans!

I couldn’t be happier with the care Max received. Aaron is reliable, communicative, and incredibly caring. Our dog was clearly loved and well taken care of. I felt completely at ease the entire time I was away. I'm so grateful and would absolutely recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Areli was amazing, she has great enthusiasm and you can tell how much she loves dog. She did an amazing job. Has great communication and kept me updated. Had no issues at all. She asks plenty of great questions that I did not think of at the time and my dogs loved her.
