“Alana visited my two senior cats everyday consistently at the same time to keep them used to their schedule. She was very responsive every time I asked her a question and sent me pictures every day too. She followed all my requests; I could not have asked for a better pet-sitting experience. I will definitely re-book Alana next time I leave town.”
“Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m Bridgid, a caring and reliable dog sitter with a beloved pup of my own. I know how much pets mean to us, so I’ll treat your dog like family — walks, playtime, and cuddles, all in the comfort of your home. Happy, stress-free pets while you’re away! I currently work 3 days a week, so 4 days of my week I am free! My schedule is different every week, but it is scheduled 6 weeks at a time which gives plenty of time to plan! I offer services conveniently only at the client’s own home, because I have a dog of my own who I will keep separate! Safety is priority!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was about 10. My friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I am also especially good at tiring out more energetic dogs through playing and walking. I currently work part time as a soccer coach for young children so my schedule has large gaps throughout the day, as I work either in the morning or in the afternoon. Therefore, leaving me with a lot of down time that I hope to fill with taking care of animals! I have two fur babies of my own and one kitty cat so I know how to ensure your animals receive all the love and attention that they need. I’m especially responsible and capable of remaining engaged and focused with multiple pets.
About: I was raised on—and still help run—my family’s small farm, so animal care is second nature. From rabbits to horses, chickens to cows, and everything in between, I’ve worked with just about every kind of animal. I’ve also had dozens of dogs and cats throughout my life. My background in the Marine Corps means I bring discipline, strong communication, and a quick response time. If you ever have a question or concern, it’ll be handled right away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide consistent and timely check-ins. My farm-kid instincts and Marine-level discipline keep routines tight, and I cap the number of pets I accept so no animal ever competes for my full attention. Animals have always been woven into my day-to-day life—caring for them isn’t a task, it’s a rhythm I’m used to. I have a fenced yard and four well-socialized dogs who do great with visitors, but I only introduce pets if I’m confident it’s safe. I can easily crate if needed, and I’m happy to separate animals for a calm environment. Cleanliness, structure, and clear communication are my baseline—your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d want for my own—clean, quiet, and intentional. I follow all instructions carefully, keep mess to an absolute minimum, and make sure your pet stays safe, calm, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

About: Ever since I was little, I've been around animals. I have grown up with both cats and dogs alike. Neighbors in the past have trusted me to walk their dogs, and I have experience in petsitting and care. I have also volunteered at animal shelters since the age of 12, working in a hands-on training setting with dozens of cats and small animals. I'm a huge animal lover, and I haven't met a pet that I didn't like. Getting to work with animals more is my dream job, and I'm eager to get started! Note: I will only work in Point of Rocks for the time being due to transportation complications. I am working part time, mostly on the weekends, so hours may conflict occasionally. Please give me a heads up at least a day in advance and we should be able to work things out! I am willing and able to follow any special instructions and care you may have for your pets, whether it be crate training or giving a pet their daily medicine.
About: Hello, I'm Erin, a wife, mom, and proud pet owner in Point of Rocks, MD! I grew up with a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits. I currently have two rescue cats, Baby and George, and two birds, who are the joys of our family. I grew up petsitting for neighbors, and I have done a lot of volunteer work with the Humane Society. I also worked at Petsmart in college helping take care of pets for the groomers. One of the best jobs I've ever had! I love animals and will provide that love and care to your pets. No more worrying about your pets while you work or go on vacation! I'm semi-retired from my old job and I am currently available most days and times! I am very flexible and will let you know well in advance when I'll be unavailable. I will play with, feed, walk, and provide companionship for your pet in your home! I can currently take care of small dogs in my home as well.
