1. Cassandra H.
“Cassandra was amazing! Leo got along with her very well. She was very responsive and attentive. She was able to provide excellent service and performed above and beyond. This is my first time leaving my cat with a sitter so I was very nervous at first but Cassandra did a great job with making me feel comfortable as well as treating my pet as her own. I'm definitely booking her again next time I'm looking for a sitter!”
2. Gina M.
“Gina was amazing, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. She stepped in at the last minute to help with my dog, Sunni, during a sudden travel event, and I couldn't be more pleased with her care and willingness to assist. Sunni and I thank you again!”
3. Sara E.
“Sara did a phenomenal job watching my cat while I was gone. She even went out of her way to play with her and my place was nice and tidy still when I returned. Cannot recommend her services enough!”
4. Melissa Z.
“We absolutely LOVE Melissa. We are so happy with the care and love she shows our dogs and cat. She sends us video clips and pics of them relaxing, playing... and often captions them with "miss you, mom!" We don't worry about them at all when she's here or when she's doing a drop in visit for us on a long day. They all like her too!”
5. Tessa B.
“Tessa was awesome in every aspect of the job! Our apartment complex locked her out and Tessa was still very patient and friendly while we got it resolved. She did a great job checking on and taking care of our pets, as well as providing consistent updates, pictures, and quick communication. We are grateful for the care that Tessa provided, and our pets thought she was great too!”
6. Dalara F.
“Dalara was amazing! Super communicative, friendly, and attuned to the personalities of our two kitties. She clearly has an extensive history caring for animals, and although our kitties are relatively young, it was very comforting to know that they were in such good hands while we were away! Also, she is really funny and I really appreciated that :) We will definitely try to rebook in future!”
7. Tran D.
“I had to go out of town unexpectedly. Tran was so kind to accept my last minute request for visits with Bingo. She walked and fed and spent time with him 3 times a day and made sure he was well cared for. She was also very responsive and kept me informed by sending plenty of pics. It was a relief to know that Bingo in good hands.”
8. Jenima H.
“Jenima is an attentive, punctual, communicative, and trustworthy caretaker for our dog. We’ve entrusted her to ours on several occasions and have been pleased every time.”
9. Jacqueline K.
“Jackie is an amazing cat sitter! She cared for our two kitties while were gone for 2+ weeks. Prior to the booking, she met our cats for a "meet and greet," and I could tell she was very attuned to each of their personalities and needs. While were gone, she sent daily updates and photos on how our cats were doing. She even managed to win over our shy, skittish kitty. Jackie is super reliable, responsive, and prepared, plus she really cares about our cats and their well-being. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and we would not hesitate to book her services again in a heartbeat.”
10. Lucy M.
“This was my first time having Lucy watch my cats for a long weekend. She came over the week before to meet my cats and get to know my set up. She was very sweet, and my two cats liked her right away! I was surprised, since one of my cats is very skittish around new people. My cats also have a very particular feeding regimen, and Lucy was able to follow my instructions so that both cats got what they needed. She sent me photos each time she visited. She was also very responsive to text messages if something arose (there was a mix up in the dates). Thank you for taking such good care of my cats and for being so flexible with the dates and times!”
11. Amber S.
“Amber was great!! She cared for my dog during my travel contract and would absolutely use her again! I think Marty was more excited to see her then me 😂 thank you so much and happy holidays!”
12. Catherine C.
“Catie was amazing with my fur baby! From the start, I could tell she would be a great fit for Roofus. She kept me updated with cute pics and made sure Roofus was happy and well taken care of. When I got back, Roofus was all smiles and clearly had a great time. I can’t recommend Catie enough if you're looking for someone who’s reliable and genuinely cares about your pet!”
13. Sydney P.
“Sydney catsit for us while we were on a trip and we’re SO grateful for the care she showed our kitties! During our meet & greet she was personable and warm, and she was excellent with communication while we were away. You can tell that she’s an animal lover :) We will definitely rebook her in future! Thank you so much, Sydney!!!”
14. Hannah & Logan O.

“Claudia was outstanding! She was great at communicating and sent updates and pictures every day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker.”
16. Tanner H.
“Tanner did a great job of watching after my cats for a week. He is very responsive and does everything we ask with kindness and enthusiasm. He is a regular fur-baby sitter for us because of his reliability. And the cats seem to enjoy seeing him!”
17. Carolina M.
“Carolina was truly 5 stars!! We needed a rover in a pinch and she was available and very accommodating to our sweet dog!! Highly recommend and will be using her in the future”
18. Justine Y.
“Justine has taken care of my older beagle several times over the years (she will be 15 this year!) and has always done a PHENOMENAL job. She listens and abides to care plans, administers medication like a professional, and is patient when playing/walking with my dog. She treats each animal she takes care of like a member of her own family! You and your furry loved one will not regret booking with Justine!”
19. Ahñia M.
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since the day I was born. And have been a mommy to my current pup for the last 13 years. I have experience with large, medium and small breeds. I have a bright and positive disposition and absolutely enjoy being around their company. A true and deep felt connection at the soul level. I am a stay at home dog and cat mommy. So I'll have plenty of time to accommodate your little one for a nice stroll around town or the park! Note: I can only service near Riverside, Federal Hill and Locust Point between the hours of 8 am - 7:00 pm (Spring / Summer timing schedule). For me, it is important that our little fur babies feel safe and comfortable at all times. We may not all realize it but they are super sensitive (some more than others) to energies whether that be people or environments. Being around dogs long enough has helped me gain experience to intuitively know when they become anxious or uncomfortable even in cases where they don't show evident signs of it. It is my priority to ensure that they feel safe with me and wherever it is we explore. My intention is to treat our relationship with pure love and care. I truly believe that our little fur babies are our beautiful guardian angels that deserve all the care and love the world can give them.
20. Julie G.
“Julie is responsible, caring and knowledgeable about both dogs and cats. I’ve trusted her with my Australian Sheppard and cat for years, both during the day and overnight, and they always look forward to seeing her. Julie will be a great companion to your pet!”
