“Beth did a great job taking care of my cat! My cat can be very shy at times but he seemed to love hanging out with her. Her daily updates and pictures were great. I will definitely book again!”
“Lauren usually watches our pup, but this time she watched our kitties. We were so pleased with her updates & photos each day. She is the BEST, a true animal lover!!! She took extra care with our shy girl.❤️”
“Kaylee did an amazing job pet sitting my cat Fluffy for 8 days! Highly recommend. She spent extra time with him, played with him, let him curl up with her for extra pets, brushed him, even brought a laser toy and extra treats! In addition to feeding and watering him. Sent pictures and a note everyday. I felt completely comfortable and assured that fluffy was in great hands. Will definitely have Kaylee pet sit again.”

About: I have 1 dog and four cats, a few years of pet sitting experience, and even worked as a kennel tech at a dog kennel before. I’m currently in the process of finding a part-time or full-time job since I’m taking a break from college, but pet sitting on the side would give me a good opportunity to not only earn money but to give me a purpose and do something I’ve always loved to do: caring for and helping animals (and helping their owners out too!) Like I mentioned, I have several pets at home so I can easily do things like taking dogs outside to go to the bathroom and on walks, feeding them, clean up after them (I especially clean litter boxes a lot), and I can even stay with them as long as they need if they don’t do well being alone for long periods of time.
About: I volunteered at the Humane Society of Harford County for 5 years. I walked dogs, fed them, played with them, and cleaned up their kennels. I also fostered dogs, many were adults but some were puppies. I have experience with all types of animals including reptiles, birds, and amphipeans. I have had 5 dogs of my own that I loved dearly into their old age. I currently have 3 cats, 2 corn snakes, and a goldfish. I will treat your pets like they are family. I have experience with potty training puppies and training experience though I'm not a master. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can give them all the love and care they need. I like to keep open communication with my clients. I will send pictures of the pets to their owners each of my visits. I will follow your directions exactly as told to me.
“We hate leaving our cat home alone when we go out of town & know she gets lonely. Alexis was wonderful to have pop in and check on her. She made sure her food and water bowls were filled up and even scooped her litter. I appreciated the pictures she sent to reassure us that Mango was being checked on. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Bri was absolutely amazing! She was so responsive and careful to follow all of the instructions that I left for my cat. She left the house in impeccable order and she went above and beyond . I came home to a very happy cat who clearly got a lot of play and attention while I was away. Exactly what I was hoping for. I would be happy to have a Bri back again!”
About: I have had cats and a dog that I made sure were well taken care of. I love taking care of animals whether mine or other people's. I work in the mornings until 12pm and have off in the afternoon, so I will have time in the afternoon and evenings to take care of other people's animals I have several leashes to use to walk dogs and I have gates and crates that I can block of certain areas of the house to make sure they are safe.
About: I am the daughter of a Veterinarian (now retired). I grew up surrounded by animals. Cows, horses, birds, cats and dogs, even a fawn and raccoon for a short period of time! I have worked with dogs who have specific needs, such as megaesophagus. I have previously done drop in visits for my Great Dane neighbor. I’m a mother of 4 kids. I drive school bus for their school district. I am currently available week days between 9:30 am to 2:00. I can do evening and weekends if requested. Starting in June 2025 I will have all day availability. *My children will not be joining me in any pet sitting services. At this time, I’m looking to bring pet care to your home! Whether that be feeding and going for walks, playing, or some belly rubs. 😊
About: As a college student studying Zoology, animals and their care are more than a side hustle or a hobby: they’re my world. Apart from my academic coursework in animal care and welfare, I have more than eight years of personal care and volunteer experience with numerous animals, including but not limited to: cats, dogs, horses, rats and mice, hamsters, snakes, various types of lizards and amphibians, goats, chickens, sheep, cattle, and even invertebrates such as tarantulas and scorpions. Rest assured, I’ll never discriminate against your furry pal! I have experience giving oral medication, both liquid and pill, as well as insulin injections and subcutaneous fluids. I also have experience caring for elderly animals — like my 18 year old cat, Maya! I can provide feeding, brushing, hoof care, walking, exercise, medication, play time, turning out, litterbox cleaning and much more! I have a driver’s license and my own transportation, and my hours and pay are flexible. I am willing to drive 60-90 minutes depending on needs. As mentioned prior, I have extensive prior experience volunteering at various shelters, vets and farms assisting with animal care, as well as my own personal experience caring for a diverse array of pets. I am happy to gather recommendations from organizations I work with. While caring for your pet or pets, I will regularly keep in contact with you and update you with both text and photos (if desired), along with keeping a dedicated spreadsheet of feeding/watering/grooming times and overall health to guarantee your peace of mind. I am capable of providing pet care across a flexible schedule. I can provide early care from 6-9 AM in the morning and any time after 4:20 PM on weekdays, as well as 24 hour care on weekends and overnight stays if needed. I am able to care for pets in a wide variety of ways thanks to expensive experience. Walking, feeding, litter-box cleaning, playtime, as well as insulin/subcutaneous fluid injections are all possible. I can also administer medication orally. Daily checkups as well as overnight stays are both possible.
“Mikey did an absolutely amazing job of looking after my rabbit! He did a great job in cleaning up after her, feeding her the appropriate amount of food, & definitely just being super attentive to my high stress baby. Even went above & beyond with my special requests! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Olivia is an absolute gem! I’m SO lucky she was available, last minute to take care of my two babies! I was in town on vacation but got invited to Desert Hot Springs for the day and didn’t know what to do with the pups! Olivia came by twice, played with them and took them for walks and most of all gave me peace of mind 💖! She sent pics and was so sweet and helpful! I will DEFINITELY rebook next time in town (which is often, coming from SF)!”

Abby B.
“I’ve known Abby B. for several years and I can confidently say she would be an exceptional pet sitter or dog walker. Abby is one of the most caring and trustworthy people I know and she has a natural ability to connect with both animals and people. She grew up around a wide variety of animals, and her experience clearly shows in the way she handles and cares for pets. Abby is incredibly reliable, communicative, and professional. She takes her responsibilities seriously and consistently goes above and beyond expectations. Whether it’s making sure pets feel loved and secure or keeping owners updated, Abby handles everything with a positive and warm demeanor. She’s also great at working with others - friendly, easygoing, and always respectful. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to leave my own pet in her care (in fact, I have several times!). I am very protective of my fur baby and only entrust a select few to care for her, Abby being one of these individuals. Pet owners will feel a sense of relief knowing their pets are in excellent hands with Abby!”
