“Beth was amazing! She was wonderful with our cats and dropping by our home! She checked in every day and took special care of each cats personality and needs. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I have extensive experience with dogs, I was part of a group of 25 volunteers that started a dog rescue and I have personally fostered 37 dogs. I am excellent with puppies, senior dogs and those needing special care. One of my fostered needed to have multiple surgeries, PT and even wheels at one point. I am very patient and loving. I believe our pets are family and I will treat your pet as if it was my own. So you do not have to worry when you are away. I will send you photos and updates daily. I can t wait to meet your fur baby. Note: For house-sitting when you want me to stay overnight, your pet must be dog friendly since my 12 lbs Shih Tzu will need to stay over night with me. My dog is super friendly. I have my own business for 25 years with a home office and a nearby 2nd office. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate animal care schedules. I do not have a yard but I there are several parks and beautiful nature in the neighborhood and my dog is very friendly to keep your dog happy. I can crate your dog if needed. My townhouse is 2 floors. If your dog can not do stairs I can wither carry them upstairs at nigjt or put a gate at the bottom of the stairs to keep them safe.

About: I've had a cat and a dog for two years in Colombia. They're adorable, and I love spending time with them. I also take care of my neighbors' and friends' pets in my free time. On weekends I can take care of them all day or all night. On weekdays I can walk them in the afternoon from 6 pm to 9 pm I will take care of your pets, feed them and take them for walks. Any additional requirement, please let me know and we will do it.

About: My name is Molly and I just graduated from Stony Brook University with my bachelor’s in marine biology. I am currently in the process of applying to veterinary school and am employed as a vet assistant. I have worked as a kennel assistant at Dogwood Acres and I have dogs of my own. I have worked with small and large dogs, as well as dog-aggressive dogs. I have also house-sat cats before. I care for my 2 reptiles and fish and I grew up on a small farm with goats, sheep, chickens, and more assorted pets. With my knowledge of the vet field and background in animal care, I will do everything I can to make your pet comfortable and happy <3 I am working as a vet assistant to get oriented in the field and I am also writing my vet school applications this summer. I work Monday-Wednesday and every other Thursday. Occasionally I have half days on Saturday. Every day is filled with pet care for me, and I have extensive experience in the field. I would love to give the best care I can to your pet! If boarding: I have a dog named Jane who gets along with other dogs and loves people! I have both a fenced yard and an open yard that your dog would be free to roam if staying with me. I also have a pool that is available to them. There is a doggy door to the fenced yard and pool, water available throughout the day, and I will be around to keep an eye on them unless my schedule states otherwise. I’ll make sure they’re eating, sleeping, getting medication as needed, and having normal potty breaks. I will update you with daily photos and call in case of any abnormalities or emergencies. If housesitting: When going over to your home I will make sure to check on your pet regularly and observe their behaviors. I will make sure that your pet is eating, having normal potty breaks, getting medication as needed, and that the house is in good condition after your pet has been left alone. I am willing to water plants, feed fish and reptiles, and do other general housesitting tasks as well. I will send updates at least once a day with photos and call in case of any odd behavior or emergencies.

“Thank you, Stacie. Our babies seemed very content when we got back home. I very much appreciate your care of them. Until next time :). Laura Wood”

“overall, good person to watch my cat. I think there was some confusion as to how long I had initially hired for each visit. I had a lot of apprehension, leaving my cat alone overnight for the first time the pictures in the communication helped a lot.”

About: Hi there! I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and am so excited to get to know your pet! Currently I own three cats, however, growing up I have always had dogs (both big and small) and I continue to occasionally dog sit my moms pup Kiwi. For the past 12 years I’ve pet sat for family, friends and friends of friends. Through my time pet sitting I’ve gained experience with dogs of all energy levels and ages, including puppies and seniors. I also have no problem administering medications. My passion for animals has led me to a career in pet retail management for the last 6 years, which has allowed me to become familiar with dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. Additionally I’ve become very comfortable with the handling and care of many other types of pets including reptiles, small animals, birds and aquatic life. Along with my cats, I also own 2 birds and a leopard gecko (: I am focusing 100% of my time into pet sitting and care, so I’ll be available for your pets needs 24/7! I am very flexible, so don’t hesitate to reach out for a last minute booking! I’m so happy you’ve trusted me to take care of your pets! To build that trust I like to make sure there is clear communication on expectations prior to visits. I am open to doing whatever you’d like during my time with your pet including but not limited to walks, hikes, playtime, brushing, snuggles or just lounging around.

About: I currently have 2 loving labs, one is 12 enjoying his golden years and one is 3 keeping us all energized! I understand the range of activity & care required for any phase in your dogs life. For me, my dogs are my everything and my routine really goes around theirs. They are my morning alarm clocks and reminder to get all my steps in with every walk. Dogs are simply the best and I enjoy all the time I can get 💛 I’m more than happy to come to your home and give your fur babies a walk, a meal, a treat, or some snuggles. While I do have a fenced in yard at my home and my labs are gentle giants, I prefer to bring pets into my home on a case by case basis. I’m pretty active and have a flexible schedule.

“Terri was great with Ruby. We had her drop in to visit her twice. She was interested in making her feel comfortable with her. I received a photo from each visit and a note was waiting for me when we returned home. I will definitely use Terri again to care for our pup.”

“Jamie was an absolute lifesaver when I needed someone to look after my dog, Gracie, on short notice with multiple visits throughout the day. Her attentive and caring approach was evident in the thoughtful updates I received, which truly put my mind at ease. Polite and communicative, Jamie made sure Gracie felt comfortable and well-cared-for in my absence. I couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional service and peace of mind provided, and I highly recommend Jamie to anyone in need of someone trustworthy. I can't wait to work with her again.”

“We were very pleased with the service provided by Jolie for our two cats while we were away. She followed all my directions and requests, visited our home promptly 2x a day as I requested, and provided daily photographs. I expect that I will call on Jolie again when we need cat sitting services in the future.”

“We love Taylor!! Ace is so lucky to have her as his sitter :) She gives great updates and photos while you are away. Ace always looks so happy to be with her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of various ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. What sets me apart is my attention to each pet’s unique needs. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love building trust with every animal I care for. I’m experienced with managing senior dog routines, and helping reinforce basic training with younger pups. Whether it’s a high-energy walk or slow, gentle care for older pups, I adapt to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I work part time, attend the University of Maryland, and am a cadet in Air Force ROTC—so I’m highly organized and used to managing my time well. I typically have flexible windows throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting, especially in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. Spending time with animals is actually one of my favorite ways to unwind, and I take every opportunity to give them my full attention and care. At my home, pets have a safe, cozy environment with access to a fully fenced 6’ yard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks. I’m comfortable with crate training and can follow any specific routines you have in place to reinforce structure and consistency—especially helpful for puppies or dogs in training. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual schedule and preferences to help them feel relaxed and secure. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, or quiet crate time, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I grew up with dogs and have being taking care of friend's dogs for as long as I can remember. They hold a special place in my heart. Our dog is blind and I've also watched deaf dogs so comfortable with any and all! My husband and I both work from home so they will have a lot of attention and time for potty breaks. I love being outside so would be taking your fur baby on hikes, long walks, even swimming if they enjoy that! While I do not have a fenced in yard, I do have a lot of open space with grass around my house. I'm happy to crate your fur baby if needed, but animals are welcome in bed with us and on the furniture. :)

“Jacob and Melissa were amazing! I felt completely at ease knowing my Rosie was in their good hands while I was out of town.”

“Madison is great. We rely on her for (often last-minute) check ins and she’s always communicative. This time she took very good care of my very elderly dog. We’d recommend Madison to anyone.”

Sarah L.

“Maddi was amazing! She checked in on our dogs every day for a week and was always communicative and punctual. She did a great Rover card every time and went the extra mile to cuddle with the dogs when it was too hot to play outside. We love Maddi and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been taking care of neighborhood pets for many years now. This includes walking, feeding, and playing. I am also a puppy sitter for my college’s service pup in training. In addition to the usual tasks I also work on the puppy’s training. My summer schedule varies from week to week but I will have lots of free time to be able to care for your precious pups! I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine, providing fresh food and water, engaging in playtime, and giving lots of affection. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I also follow any special instructions to ensure each pet gets personalized care.
