About: I have personally had at least one, and often two dogs at all times for the past ten years. Three of the last four dogs I owned were rescues so I am understanding and experienced with dogs with social issues and special needs. I have frequently house sat both dogs and cats for friends and never found a furry friend I did not appreciate spending time with. I am currently working part-time and looking for something more active to do. I am available for house sits on weekends and dog walking from noon till 8 p.m. I am experienced dealing with pets with dietary and environmental restrictions if your pet requires extra care in feeding or limitations on their interactions with strangers/off-limits areas of the house. If no extra care information is given, I am usually quite relaxed in discipline, I personally allow my dogs onto furniture, etc.

“Thank you Lingli! You were kind, prompt and super communicative! I will be booking again soon. Thank you for taking care of Coffee and making him and me feel comfortable.”


“Did an amazing job with Jasper! He got a good walk in and got to see his friends at Riverside Park. Commicated very well and took lots of pictures! Will definitely be using again and hopefully they get to hang out some more!”


“We needed a dog walker for the weekend and it was fairly last minute. We contacted Christine and she made the time to come over that day to meet Bandit and review what we needed. Over the weekend she was supposed to come for 30 minutes but walked and played with the dog for about 45 which was definitely appreciated. She kept in contact with us and was very friendly. We will definitely be using Christine again in the future!”


About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, including month-long stays with my sister’s pup and several weeks at a time for friends and neighbors. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just extra snuggles, I treat every dog like family. I work virtually and spend most of the day in my apartment, with plenty of time to care for your fur baby! I love going on walks and look forward to using those walks to spend time with your puppy. Over weekends, my husband and I fill our time with outdoor activities and would love to include your pet in them. I have no other pets, and an apartment in which your pup is free to roam. My building also has an attached dog park, in addition to the two large parks within a five minute walk from my home. With a pet care store across the street, I have every facility that I need to care for your pet and ensure they have a good time!

“Jessica is amazing and we love having her watch our 2 large dogs. She is very accommodating and always so pleasant to work with. Our dogs love her and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!!”


About: I grew up always having two dogs in the home - usually midsize dogs. I have experience dogsitting for extended periods of time for friends and family too! I currently work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Feel free to reach out with questions! I currently work full-time from home and have a relatively flexible schedule. I am able to take breaks throughout the day as needed to take care of any pets! I am happy to communicate with you while caring for your pet - sending text and photo updates as requested, whatever makes being away easier!

About: I have a history of household pets which encourages me to continue working with animals! As a full-time teacher, I’m strong in following instructions and providing clear and accurate support for your pet so you can relax while away. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to large, high-energy mixes like my college coach’s Great Dane-Mastiff dogs. I’m confident handling strong, powerful pups as well as more delicate or senior dogs who may need extra patience and care. My background has given me experience with everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to helping reinforce training routines and managing unique pet personalities. I’m also a strong communicator—I keep owners updated regularly with messages, photos, and anything else that offers peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priority, and I take pride in being someone both you and your pets can trust. I’m a full-time teacher and have summers off, which gives me a flexible schedule and the opportunity to take on more pet care responsibilities during that time. While I use some of the summer to travel and spend time with family, I also believe it’s important to keep working—and there’s no better way than by spending time with animals! Pet care fits naturally into my active lifestyle. I love getting outside, so dropping in for visits or taking your dog for a walk is just as rewarding for me as it is for your pet. My open summer schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present while caring for your pets. As a full-time teacher with multiple clearances, I bring responsibility, structure, and trust to every pet care visit. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel safe and cared for in their own space. I create a calm, consistent environment by paying close attention to details like feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment—providing the same level of care and respect I give to my own pets.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—puppies, high-energy adults, and sweet seniors—since middle school. I’m now 26 and have over a decade of hands-on experience walking, feeding, and loving dogs like they’re my own. I understand that dogs are family, and I treat every pup with patience, attention, and affection. I’m especially mindful of senior dog needs—slower walks, joint care, medication schedules, and extra gentleness. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or a relaxing stroll, I’ll provide care that’s both safe and loving. I currently work from home Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s with a super flexible schedule and plenty of breaks throughout the whole day to go for walks and play. I also have availability on weekends for house-sitting! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow all instructions closely to maintain your dog’s usual routine—whether that’s feeding, walk times, or medication. I take the time to earn each dog’s trust through patience, positive energy, and lots of love. I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and double-check for anything that could pose a risk. Your home and pet will be treated with the utmost respect and care, just like my own family’s.

About: I’ve grown up around all animals, and have been taking care of dogs for 10+ years. I currently live with two dogs and a cat- all between the ages of 1-4 years old. I work from home most of the week so I have a lot of time to accommodate for your pets needs- to give them a stimulating and warm environment. I live in a townhouse with a fenced backyard and two minutes away from the local park, with two dog friendly dogs (a golden and a lab mix) as well as a cat who keeps to himself.

“Elaine is a great pet sitter and takes wonderful care of our Bella. We call on her all the time— she’s always reliable, professional and keeps us informed along the way.”


About: I love animals of all sizes. I have the entire summer off for your cutie pie to drop in and walk when you need a break or help. I live in Federal hill in baltimore for over 24 years so i am familiar with dog parks and walking areas. I am a high school art teacher of 3O years. I love the fast pace. In summer I go bananas if I am not walking or doing something. I have had two dogs that passed away recently. Stella was 18 and Demi Moore was 17. We have one cutie pie named Squishmallow and she does not like a long walk. I can administer medications and will love to take your doggie to parks or a quick outing. I have my summers off. I have an open schedule. I am an early riser and can walk mid day or afternoon. Some nights as well I prefer to walk dogs only. I can pick them up and take them to the park or walk to your house. I am open to what is need.

About: I’ve always helped to take care of my friends and neighbors’ pets. I’m new to the Baltimore/Towson area and looking for new clients :) Would love to learn about all the dog friendly places in the area that owners recommend :) I am new to the area so I am taking time to settle in before looking for jobs, so my schedule is very flexible currently! Since I just moved to the area, I am unemployed while I settle in so I have lots of free time to get back into pet sitting! I have a 2 year old cat as well as a rescued 6 year old dog. I enjoy playing with both of them and making sure they’re stimulated daily!

About: I have 3 cats of my own and am always looking for excuses to walk my friends dogs. I love spending time with animals and being outside I have a flexible schedule! I’m a nurse so I don’t work a 9-5 and often have full days off during the week to do walks or daily check in’s I have a fenced in backyard. We have 3 cats that are very friendly. Would probably accept sleep over on a case by case basis and would like it to be an animal I’ve worked with for a while

“Amanda was gracious enough to agree to our day-notice request to walk our old lady lab at night in below freezing temps. Grateful to come home to a happy, tired dog after a long day at work. Thank you!!!”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for hundreds of pets, I bring a level of dedication and knowledge that truly sets me apart. From energetic puppies needing structure and training to senior dogs requiring extra patience, meds, and mobility support—I’ve done it all. I cared for my own beloved pup for 17 wonderful years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands. Whether it’s administering medication, reinforcing good behavior, or just offering lots of love and attention, your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and my flexible schedule means I’m available when you need me—whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays.

Whether your dog thrives on a strict schedule or just needs some extra attention and playtime, I’m here to provide consistent, loving care whenever it’s needed.
