“Heather did a wonderful job watching my 2 cats! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She took out the trash and locked up as requested. I will definitely use her again!”

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I bring more than just basic pet care—I offer genuine companionship and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who needs structured walks or a senior dog who craves gentle attention and routine, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs. My background includes working with rescue dogs, administering oral medications, and handling multi-dog households with calm confidence. While growing up, I lived in a home with multiple dogs and have cared for many dogs around my community. I currently own four dogs, two miniature dachshunds, one cane corso and my senior german shepherd. I have spent many of hours training my dogs, especially the cane corso who was a tad reactive, and they are all doing great! I would love to continue helping out around the community to care for your companions. I am currently working a full-time job in Easton, MD from 9-4:30 Monday through Friday. I would be open for mornings, evenings, and weekends. Sometimes, I am totally able to pop out for lunch time walks if it’s in Easton and know ahead of time. I am pretty flexible! In my home, I have three dogs that are crate trained and one that roams the home. I currently have a fenced in yard for my dogs as of recently, but have many years of experience with leashed walks and leash training with my own dogs and client’s dogs.
“Jordan was available at very short notice to come meet our cat and learn about his needs during drop in visits. We are very happy with the care she provided him.”
About: I have extensive experience developing nationally known Special Needs Therapy Dogs. I am a member of Crisis Response Canines, a Tester/ Observer for Alliance of Therapy Dogs, I own and train Rottweilers, Labs, Jack Russell’s, etc. I am a dedicated dog & cat lover, with excellent references. My pets, other people’s pets are my highest priority! I am completely devoted to animals in my care, care & training, and have excellent references and achievements. I have two friendly dogs, and a large fenced- in yard! I have large crates in my house, and I am an Owner/ Operator of ‘Paws Up Shuttle, LLC, and transport animals in my Mercedes Metris van accessorized with crash proof TransK9 crates.
“Ava took wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town. He can be skittish, but he quickly warmed up to her. We appreciated her consistently timely visits, and she even offered to check in on the cat at a different time when he seemed to not be feeling well. We returned to a happy cat, and we would definitely recommend Ava to others.”
About: I have over 40 years of experience with all kinds of pets, from cats and dogs to lizards and birds. A true animal lover. Currently am a mom of a 10 1/2 year old cat who came into my life at the tender age of 4 weeks old. I currently work full time but am scaling back to get ready for retirement. I want to make loving on my furrbaby and yours as well my full-time career. I want to give them my undivided attention. They deserve nothing less. My home is very pet friendly. In fact, you'll find pet toys in every room, but the bathroom of course. For your canine babies my complex is pet friendly and has many areas for them to walk and run around to get their exercise. We will also go to the park to play as well. I also don't mind, if it's ok in your home, them being on my furniture is allowed. If you're a crate family, then bringing your own crate is suggested. My home is free range so to speak.
“Clarke is amazing. I have a very shy kitty and he always made sure to put eyes on him every visits and I think my other cat Ethel would like to go live with him. Every pic is either her on his lap or her hamming it up for him. Thank you so much for being so loving with my kitties!!!”
“Our cats seemed perfectly happy and calm when we arrived home. Gail did a great job caring for them and was super nice about changing dates when our trip plans changed.”
About: I’ve owned different breed’s throughout my life and have had puppies grow up to live long, healthy lives! I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of small and large dogs with hip displacia, blindness, cancer and other special needs. I’m also a huge health nut, so I’m always researching nutrition topics and things that may benefit the doggies I get to meet! I have an early job in the morning so I’ll be available for very early visits and I’ll be out of work at 1:30pm so I can spend the rest of the of the day and weekends taking care of my fur friends. I’ll keep and eye on them, make sure there is nothing around or anything they can get into to get hurt. On outside walks they always be on a leash and we will avoid big highways.
“Once again, Hayden did a wonderful job watching my cat. He's been so good at keeping up with pictures and playing with Lorenzo. I can't say enough good things about how he treated my cat.”
“Very responsive and was able to help with little notice. Thank you.”
About: Growing up with three dogs taught me invaluable lessons in responsibility, compassion and the joy of companionship as I navigated their diverse personalities while ensuring they receive love exercise and proper care. I hope to bring that experience to your pet. My schedule varies week to week. Some days I will be gone to work for eight hours but all days I will be able to give a long walk either before &/or after work. I can also come and provide exercise time doing lunch I will make it a priority to leave the space better than you left it. You deserve knowing that your pet and pet’s home is safe.

About: I’ve been caring for different kinds of animals since I was in elementary school! I’ve had pets of my own to care for as well as family pets to spread more love to. I’ve taken care of neighbors’ dogs, cats, and even chickens! When I take care of pets I always make sure to give them a nice walk, or lots of play time, as well as give them lots of love and attention. Loving up animals is my favorite part of taking care of them:) I am a student at San Diego State University, so I have lots of flexibility as I don’t currently have a full-time job. I have large breaks between any classes I have in-person, so I’ll always have time to stop in for frequent checks, potty breaks or to feed them, as well as availability 7 days a week! In my own home, I tend to be pretty clean just to be safe that my cat doesn’t accidentally eat something off the floor or counters. I always want to prevent accidents, so I’m sure to read what kind of foods or plants could be dangerous to different animals I care for, as well as always looking out for odd behavior in case my pet or someone else’s is sick or injured. I always clean litter boxes or clean up after dogs, and make sure to stick to their feeding schedules and that they have plenty of water:) Playing with and cuddling my cat makes me so happy, so I’m always happy to spread that care to other pets as well!
“Brante cared for our three furbabies (cats) like they were her own! I felt completely at ease leaving my cats for a couple days, knowing they were in good hands! They received lots of extra attention and cuddles 😊”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, even helping out friends to walk and take care of their pets. I will take care of your pets like they are my own. I will also send you plenty of pictures and updates while watching them. I have recently trained my own dog. Overall, I love dogs and are always willing to take care of them! I am currently enrolled at Chesapeake College and playing on the softball team. I have practice at 4pm on weekdays, but anytime before then my schedule is wide open. I have a huge backyard where my dog loves to run around and play. He loves to go for walks and play with his toys and bones. He is crate trained.
“As a spur of the moment idea, that I had heard about through a friend in CA, I contacted Rover and had a good, instant, comforting response. The care giver was great and did send picures and I was very comforted. Thanks to her.”

17. Lily K.
“I have known Lily since she was a young child and had her first pet, Pebbles, a Guinea pig. She was always attentive to Pebbles, and provided her daily needs such as food, water and cage cleaning without prompting. She loved Pebbles and spent significant time playing with her in a loving way. She also grew up with two family dogs and about a year ago adopted a small kitten, Timmy. Lily has provided for Timmy’s needs completely and responsibly, seeing him through his veterinary visits for shots and neutering. She takes Timmy most places she goes, and though not quite 1 yet, Timmy has ridden from Austin, TX to San Diego, CA with Lily in her car, and has accompanied her multiple times on cross country flights between California and Maryland. In summary, Lily, a sophomore at SDSU, is a young animal lover who is responsible and reliable and would provide excellent care for any pet. If she tells you she will walk your dog at 2:00 Wednesday, you can rest assured that will happen.”
