About: I’ve owned different breed’s throughout my life and have had puppies grow up to live long, healthy lives! I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of small and large dogs with hip displacia, blindness, cancer and other special needs. I’m also a huge health nut, so I’m always researching nutrition topics and things that may benefit the doggies I get to meet! I have an early job in the morning so I’ll be available for very early visits and I’ll be out of work at 1:30pm so I can spend the rest of the of the day and weekends taking care of my fur friends. I’ll keep and eye on them, make sure there is nothing around or anything they can get into to get hurt. On outside walks they always be on a leash and we will avoid big highways.

“Louise was amazing! She updated me along the way and took care of my dog while I was out of town! She responded quickly and made sure to send pics of my dog so I didn’t worry about her!! Highly highly recommend!!!!!”


“Lily was terrific! She was enthusiastic and caring with Bailey and Beau and was a great communicator with us about details concerning our home and the pups needs. Would not hesitate to use her again.”


About: I’ve had different types of dogs since I was young. I’ve trained dogs for all types of reasons. I’m a lover of all pups and can handle your dogs needs. I own a large property specifically for the environment, which is perfect for dogs. I look forward to meeting your doggie and returning a happy pup back to you. Please message for any details. I’m available on weekends and weeknights. I work full time M-F, so weekends are primarily open. While I can do many activities during the work week, I am gone about 8 hours for my primary job. Weeknights and weekends are available. I have a large property with plenty of room to roam. Chickens in the yard (in coop). I have a 6 year old pup of my own that is very docile, loves other animals and gets along with them easily, and is my number two. I don’t have a fence because my dog is perimeter trained. However, I can perimeter train your dog too or walk them on a leash if that is preferred. I plan to add a fence soon and will update this once I do.

“She was a wonderful animal sitter. She followed instructions and cuddled with the animals. There was daily updated and pictures send. She really did a great job or making the pets happy.”


“Our kitten Raven (nickname "Mayhem") gave Jorda a run for her money and she v was up to the task! And she gave our boy his daily meds and kept Jelly the food lover with allergies out of the non-allergy food. And left a beautiful cat pod that she crocheted herself!! I could not recommend Jordan more. My babies were happy and well cared for while we were away.”


“First let me say this was the first time I used Rover for dog sitting. I was very nervous since we had never left our new puppy with anyone. It took about five searches to find someone available and I was so happy it was Kat!!! She was amazing, she truly took care of my pup and kept me updated the entire time we were away. She needed to come back after we returned to pick it up something she left and my pup was so excited to see her. After she left he stood at the door for 10 minutes waiting for her to return. That reassured me that he was so totally cared for. I will use her again and again and recommend her to all my friends and family.”


About: I have experience taking care of cats and dogs going back to my early teens. I’m just as much a cat lover as I am a dog lover and would love to take care of your fur babies. Whether you have a sweet big dog or a little shy cat, I love them all the same. Most of my family has at-least 2 or more cats or dogs and they often rely on me to take care of them when they go on vacation, have a long work week, or just need a helping hand. I currently work full time, 9-5 Monday through Friday. Most of my availability is on the weekends or late afternoons. But depending on the request I may be able to make an exception. I have experience caring for small dogs, big dogs, shy cats, energetic cats, senior dogs and cats. I’ve cared for almost every type of pet there is. I’ve even cared for reptiles and guinea pigs. Whether your pet would like space and quiet or someone to help them get their energy out I can provide that. I can meet the needs of your pet. Every dog/cat is different and I’m here for it all 😊

“Kacy was great with taking care of my dog, Luna! Luna is a very high energy, bully mix who can be a little crazy! Kacy handled her very well and Luna warmed up quickly to her, which was great because sometimes Luna can be wary of people. Definitely recommend Kacy!”

About: I've watched and taken care of dogs for many years, mainly family and near by neighbors. I have grew up on a farm which i've taken care of many other animals as well... mainly farm animals and dogs!! I'm currently in college right now, it's mostly online so that's not really an issue.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I bring more than just basic pet care—I offer genuine companionship and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who needs structured walks or a senior dog who craves gentle attention and routine, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs. My background includes working with rescue dogs, administering oral medications, and handling multi-dog households with calm confidence. While growing up, I lived in a home with multiple dogs and have cared for many dogs around my community. I currently own four dogs, two miniature dachshunds, one cane corso and my senior german shepherd. I have spent many of hours training my dogs, especially the cane corso who was a tad reactive, and they are all doing great! I would love to continue helping out around the community to care for your companions. I am currently working a full-time job in Easton, MD from 9-4:30 Monday through Friday. I would be open for mornings, evenings, and weekends. Sometimes, I am totally able to pop out for lunch time walks if it’s in Easton and know ahead of time. I am pretty flexible! In my home, I have three dogs that are crate trained and one that roams the home. I currently have a fenced in yard for my dogs as of recently, but have many years of experience with leashed walks and leash training with my own dogs and client’s dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Melissa, and caring for animals is truly one of my passions. I currently volunteer at the Talbot Humane Society, where I work with rescued and often neglected pets. This experience has taught me how to handle all kinds of temperaments with patience and love. I’m reliable, communicative, and will care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, overnight care, playtime, or special dietary needs, I’ve got it covered. I also have a background in healthcare, so I’m confident with medication schedules and attentive to health and safety. I am available any day and time that works best for you and your furry friends. I am also available for overnight stays on a case to case basis. It is very important to recognize the needs of the pets and respond accordingly. Be patient and calm with pets that are scared or shy. Pets are very sensitive to change and may be missing their people. It is definitely important to maintain their regular schedule as much as possible.

About: I am usually in charge of my family dogs back home in Maryland, making sure they get walked, bathed, and fed. Aside from my own dogs I have cared for many of my relatives and neighbors' dogs when they are out of town or simply for a daily walk. I currently have one client that I walk for daily and look forward to seeing their dog every day! Most of my classes at Tulane University are online meaning that I have a very flexible schedule. I am an extremely reliable worker and would ideally like to establish an ongoing professional relationship with pet and owner. I live 5 minutes from Audubon Park. I absolutely love getting time outside and getting some exercise in with your dogs. I am also an athlete at Tulane so I am very active and am the perfect person to get your younger dogs out for some mid-day exercise or love. I am currently a student at Tulane and am looking for clients who need someone to pop in and do a mid-day check or walk while they are at work. I also have freedom in the mornings and evenings. I am experienced in dog sitting and believe that dogs are always more comfortable in their own homes and would love to give your home a visit. I believe in sticking to their daily routine to make sure they don't have any additional stress added to their day.

Seth G.
“Seth has been watching my dog for the past eight years, and I couldn’t ask for someone more dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring. He treats my dog like family, always making sure she’s well-cared for, loved, and happy while I’m away. Seth’s own dog, Ziggy, is the sweetest and loves other dogs. My pup always comes home tired from all the fun they have together! It’s such a comfort knowing she’s not just being looked after, but also enjoying herself. It’s hard to find someone you can trust so completely with your pet, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had Seth be such a consistent and caring presence in my dog’s life. I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a dedicated and loving pet caregiver”
