When Erin left the house my dog was behind the door crying for a while. They had a good time. The picture she took from my dog isabsolute beauty whch shows she cares for what she is doung not just a simple picture and my furry baby has her besutiful smile showing that she has ultimate happiness. Thank you Erin.Cannot wait to have you again.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.

“Marisha has taken care of our 3 cats several times. She is conscientious and excellent at comminicating. She has also been willing to feed community cats (at our request) that stop by. She has gone above and beyond on a couple of occasions. I will hire her again.”


About: I grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and instinct. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I work a very flexible job that allows me to work from home when needed to take care of your pets during the day. I am free almost every evening and weekend. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I take time to bond with each pet through play, attention, and calm companionship. I keep the home tidy, respect the space, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.

“I Highly recommend Abbi, she is very kind and understanding! I know she took good care of my kitties and they both loved her. Even the one who usually doesn’t come put for people let her hold him and cuddle.”


About: Throughout my years I have taken care of a variety of animals ranging from lizards, cats, dogs, snakes, skinks, and many more. Throughout this time with these loving animals I have learned so many valuable tools regarding pet care. Some include safe/healthy treats, handling, working with behavioral issues, knowledge regarding toxic household plants, exercise needs, and more. My goal is to provide a welcoming, safe, and fun environment for your beloved family member. I am currently a nursing student therefore, I am unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to college. However, weekdays and weekends aside from these dates I am free to provide loving care to your animals past 1pm. Regarding my yard, I live next to a residential four way stop. I possess a spacious fenced in side yard followed by an open area on the other side composed of thick trees for dogs that love to explore. If you feel your dog needs to be crated, I also have options available for this.

About: I'm a dog mom of 2 bull Terriers. Have had several different breeds my entire life. I love them all and enjoy each and every one of them! I currently work a full time 8-5 job. Looking to eventually take care of animals full time! This is part time for me at the moment. I will take care of your babies just as I would my own. I have several references on my care for my animals and theirs. I'm honest and caring.

About: I come from a “pet family” and I’ve cared for almost every pet imaginable! I have particular strength with large breed dogs of all ages! Equipped with puppy, as well as elder care. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I have recently lost my too elderly dogs and have plenty of love and supplies left over! I have large crates, training pads, bowls, leashes, toys, treats etc. There is plenty of space in the house and yard, including a full basement.

About: We’ve had dogs of all sizes in our home since I can remember. And I’ve raised a few of my own along with 2 cats I am available all week. I can check in on your pets and let them out and feed them according to your routine. I will also walk your pets. I can also board and host daily care of multiple pets. You can leave me any detailed instructions on how you’d like your pet cared for. I’ll come in and take them out into the yard to do their business, or change their pads/clean up cat litter and clean any messes they may have left. If they need to be fed I’ll give them food and water also according to your instructions. And if they need to be walked around the neighborhood or park I can do that also. When they are in my home you can bring toys, beds, or Blankets that they feel more comfortable in, but I can provide that as well. You may bring your own food that does well for their diet.

“Veronica was so great with my cats. They were well taken care of and it was a big relief to know they were in good hands. She was dependable and I appreciated her communication in sending updates and photos from each visit. She not only took affectionate care of my pets, but she also looked after my apartment as well. I recommend!”


About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I've loved and cared for a multitude of different species, including a sheep! My routine is to come home, have some dinner, and then feed/play with my dog and cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's imperative to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable.

Mercy M.
“I’ve known her for quite a long while now and seen many different sides and no matter what, our dog is something she is always making sure to have cared for. She properly trained and re-nourished a very weak and vulnerable dog and turned him to a healthy, muscular, loving companion that we are always making more & more progress with. Whilst being around my cats she is still the sweetest and most loving, even usually going out of her way to buy them their favorite wet foods & treats & such. She’s an amazing, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver to animals of all types, as long as it’s an animal, she’ll love it & care for it with kindness.”


Angie M.

Julia M.
“Best Pet sitter in Baltimore County, Maryland!! Was so sad to see her go, yet so happy for her new adventure. From pop in visits, overnight stays to week long coverage she was a godsend when caring for our babies was needed. Caring for our Senior adopted pup Precious was no easy challenge she took it in stride and was so patience with her and all her silly little antics of the older years clumsiness. Our full of personality Yorkipoo Teddy that craves attention and would not leave her side along with our two adorable cats that she has helped care for since kittens that our now 13 years old (one now requires daily insulin) that always try to absorb all the attention for themselves. Where we don’t have the most exotic pets, if it’s a pet I am sure she can handle it with all of her years and experience in pet care of various pets. Trust me give her a try, she will not disappoint.”
