“Highly recommend Nikki. Our pups loved her and she took amazing care of them both. We will definitely be booking her care again. She was communicative and responsive throughout the whole process. Thank you so much for everything!”

About: I've worked in the veterinary field for 3 years now, working my way up from kennel technician to assistant, and currently I'm in school to become a registered veterinary technician. I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments and am able to give medications if needed. Making pets and their people happy are what I do. I'd love the chance to be able to help you too! I'm currently working full time at a veterinary hospital in Leonardtown, MD. I typically have 2-3 days off throughout the week and can usually make early morning & later evening visits work when I am scheduled to work. Days vary, but I want to help where I can For dogs, I ensure proper fitting collars and leashes while on walks or playing outside, and I know how to get rid of some of their excess energy. For cats, I do 20 minutes of play and snuggle time (if they allow it). I will always ask about vaccination status, medical conditions, their established veterinary hospital they attend, and any quirks I should know about your furry friend.

“Samantha has been an excellent sitter for our dog and cat. We have used her multiple times for drop in visits. She gives our high energy dog plenty of attention and clearly cares for our pets like they were her own. She is respectful of our property, and communicates well with lots of pictures.”

About: Giant breed dog owner with 25+ years of hands-on experience, as well as a current toy breed owner, giving me the knowledge and confidence to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Experienced with daily care, exercise, feeding routines, medications, senior support, and understanding breed-specific needs for both large and small dogs. I’ve also owned and cared for cats for over 25 years through every life stage — from kittens to seniors — and understand the importance of patience, comfort, routine, and individualized attention for each pet. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, large, small, young, or senior, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to their unique needs. As a small business owner, I have the flexibility to schedule my day around your dog or cat’s routine and care needs, allowing for consistent, dependable, and timely visits. This flexibility helps ensure your pets receive attentive care, companionship, exercise, and comfort while you’re away. I focus on keeping your dog or cat’s routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible while you’re away. During each visit, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, and thorough litter box cleaning when needed, while making sure your pet’s environment stays clean, safe, and comfortable. I take time to observe your pet’s behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, since even small changes can be important. Whether your pet is energetic and social or more reserved and independent, I’m happy to provide enrichment, exercise, affection, or quiet companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level. I always treat your home with respect, keeping things tidy and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“There’s nothing like traveling and worrying the entire time! I was hesitant to use this app and I wasn’t having any luck finding a sitter…until I came across Emily! She kept me informed everyday! My fur babies were in such a better mood when I came home. They are usually boarded and that was not the best environment for them. It would take them days to resettle in at home. Thanks to Emily they were very well cared for! I will rebook for sure!!!!”

“Haley was available last min when our other sitter didn't work out and took great care of our puppy. She communicated well and we'll definitely be using her again!”

About: I have always had dogs in my life. The last couple of years I have taken care of 5 senior dogs ,-labs, golden retriever, and toy poodle. I have recently retired. I walk and/or run every day and I would love to have company on my walks/runs! My schedule is very flexible. I have a 6' privacy fence around my backyard. Currently I do not have any pets in my home. I have my own transportation. I am extremely reliable and punctual. I

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I currently have five cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I also have an 8 month old husky, so I’m experienced with high energy dogs, routines, and the patience and consistency they need. Friends and family have always trusted me to care for their pets, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like my own and pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and routine. I’m comfortable with multi-pet households, and keeping things clean and organized. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, happy, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. My schedule is very flexible right now, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistency. I’m available most days for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, including weekends. Because I have pets of my own, I’m already in a daily routine of feeding, cleaning, playtime, and walks, so adding your pet into that routine is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep things consistent and low-stress. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos. I’m very mindful of things like secure doors, leash safety, and making sure pets don’t have access to anything unsafe. With my own experience caring for multiple cats and a high-energy dog, I’m used to staying organized, clean, and attentive. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Took great care of the cats, including one very high maintenance 18+ kitty who frequently has litter box issues and has daily meds. Jessie C. kept the box (and the cat’s accidents) cleaned up and cats well looked after.”
