“Lauren was so sweet and took great care of our Harvey! He was a little crazy when she first arrived, and she was so patient with him. We're looking forward to having her take care of him again in a few weeks!”


“Cari was incredible with all my animals even had a situation with my older cat and she took care of him and kept me posted and sent photos. I would recommend her to anybody. She’s sweet and kind and responsible.”


“Asia was great with our house and animals. We could tell by the way our dog acts when she see Asia that they are friends. Our requests were taken care of and our house was the way it was when we left it in her hands. We highly recommend her.”


“Rita came to our rescue during a last minute request, actually a day of request, after our special needs daughter was admitted to the ICU. When everything in our world was turned upside down, Rita was able to bring some peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well loved and taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter and we were so blessed to have had Rita there during our time of need. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 💕”


“Juliana and Celeb did a wonderful job at carrying for our two dogs. Our pups feel in love with Juliana. And she showed them so much love and attention while we were out of town. They didn’t even act like they missed us, hahaha. We will definitely be using them again. They took excellent care of our home and even made sure our plantings were watered in this record breaking heat. My husband and I felt so good while away knowing our babies were being cared for by two people who love dogs and are very good with them. Thank you both for being so awesome with Bandit and Boone.”


“Fantastic job! We don’t leave our babies with just anybody. Both of our pups took to Nicole right away so we knew they were in good hands! Nicole took great care of everything and sent us plenty of updates throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend her!”


“Fraya is excellent!!! She took awesome care of our pups on our wedding day. We had no worries at all. The puppy was exhausted from all the outside play time when we got home.”


“Valerie was so great with Bandit. She sent us photos and updates. She absolutely knew his needs and took very good care of him. She was also very accommodating since she didn’t have much notice. I would absolutely have her sit with him again. Bandit actually cried for her when she left. Great girl and great personality. Thank you so much Valerie for taking good care of our fur baby.”



“This was the first time hiring Melisha for a multiple day/night stay, and we’re checking the calendar to figure out when to hire her next. Updates and pictures provided regularly. The 2 dogs and cat couldn’t have been in more capable hands. Even with a bit of a ruckus with the 2 huskies hanging up on the poor cat, Melisha was calm, cool and collected. I can’t come up with more words of praise for all that she did in the care of our 3 pets. She’s going to be tired of seeing our name pop up in her notifications. :)”

“Such a compassionate Petsitter that treats the animals like a pet nanny! The animals loved her. To boot, I had recently gotten an equine that had bloodwork come back the day before our trip which necessitated special treatment. She handled it like a pro and my girl took to her right away. Would highly recommend even at the peril of having her booked up when we might like to have her sit for us.”


“Shanelle was an absolute godsend. We had a last minute weekend trip and she was able to stay with our pups at our home and keep both in good order. I cant recommend her enough.”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just a kid. Now own a dog and two cats. Funny thing is that I never had a cat growing up but grew close to ours here quickly. I am self employed and a stay at home with my pets. We have them on a food schedule. Always looking at anything that could help them. All in all per care is a big part of me. Having pets from a little kid and up. Pets are all fed at the same time and right along with our meal times. We monitor their health and adjust as needed. Also have the cats trained on outside so they can get some fresh air and hang with the big dogs.

About: I’ve been pet/home sitting for 7 years with different families all over Maryland. My goal is to give clients ease and know their pets/home is in good hands! 😊 Since I work in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are free to walk, play, or just keep your fur baby company while you’re away. And with house sitting, I’ll make sure your plants watered, etc. What started out as something I did to help our family and friends has grown to something I thoroughly love to do! While I do not have any pets of my own, I know there is great l responsibility when taking care of animals . My promise is to keep your pets in the safe environments you’ve provided/created for them.

Sennette F.
“Sennette watched my two Labs and our house while we were in Europe for 10 days. We were able to relax with daily updates on how our dogs were doing, and knowing someone was keeping an eye on them and our house. I would recommend Sennette to anyone looking for a responsible dogsitter.”
