Dog Sitting in Sandy Spring

“Xena is a pro. My dog is always well taken care of and happy when she sees her. I highly recommend.”

“Jeannie R is fabulous!! She records what happens with each pet, takes pictures, and notifies me if running late. She’s a delight to work with. Chloe, my labradoodle, loves her.”

Carey L.

“We came back and used Teffni again for our cats when we went out of town and she did a terrific job as always! In addition to checking on food, water, and litter, she made time to get the two cats (who don't always get along) to play and engage. She also checked our home for potential issues/messes during the visits, was communicative with us via text, and took some great visit pictures to share with us. We'll be reaching out for future pet needs for sure.”

“Ariella handled both of our cats terrifically. I was worried because we had special issues where the cats had to be kept separate and one cat was having issues using the litter box. But Ariella checked in and sent pictures and it was great having her here.”

About: I've been caring for puppies and dogs for family members and friends for several years. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention and affection. I've cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including young puppies that require extra patience, supervision, and consistency. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I’m currently working a part-time throughout the week. My preferred times are 9am-2pm to take walks, feed, playtime, or medication. Staying overnight shifts, I would love to know 3 days in advance for planning. Also my hours for house sitting is 7pm-next morning mostly Friday - Sunday. Weekdays is a little hectic for me but if it fits my schedule or something changed, we can figure something out, just send a message! Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely follow each pet's routine and care instructions. I offer regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving attentive, loving care in a safe and comfortable setting. 🐾

“So reliable, consistent, and sweet to our girl!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dachshunds and have experience caring for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention, patience, and kindness. Pet owners describe me as responsible, trustworthy, calm, and caring. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs, body language, and comfort level, helping them feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I enjoy walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your dog. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I understand the importance of maintaining a dog’s routine and will do my best to follow their usual schedule for feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents and pay close attention to each dog’s personality, needs, and routines. I create a calm, positive, and stress-free environment, making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos for extra peace of mind.

“Charlie took care of my dogs during a short notice request! I trust him to take care of my dogs who have different speciality needs .”

EJ C.

About: I grew up with dogs and as a teenager assisted walking our dogs and foster dogs of varying sizes. I also know how to take care of cats. I've worked at dog boarding facilities where I've taken care of unfamiliar dogs. I can work Friday to Sunday any time and mornings during the week days due to other responsibilities such as taking care of my own pets Monday to Thursday. I trust in my ability to handle any dog under 40 pounds. I am willing to walk well behaved dogs from the same household together. I would be uncomfortable handling large pully or reactive dogs but can handle calm or heel trained dogs up to 70 lbs.

“Everything seems fine. Shadow had a lot to say when I got in. I assume it was complimentary.”

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, and caring for animals has always been something that comes really naturally to me. I recently adopted my cat, Louis, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I work full-time in behavioral health, so I bring a lot of patience, attentiveness, and calm energy into how I care for animals—especially those who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just some company, I’d love to help! Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I try to keep my schedule balanced so I can be fully present with each pet, and not feel rushed between visits. I’m happy to stick to consistent routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate specific timing needs when I can. I’m especially a good fit for pets who benefit from a calm, steady presence or a little extra patience. I care for every pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, attention, and a really calm energy. I recently adopted my cat, Louisville aka Louis, so I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your space. In your home, I’m very respectful of routines and will follow instructions closely to keep things consistent and low-stress. I take my time building trust, especially with shy or anxious pets (and cats who like to take their time warming up). I’m mindful about safety - secure doors, leashes, clean spaces, and making sure your pet is always comfortable. I’ll also send thoughtful updates and photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, a walk, or just a cozy presence nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

“Neesa came to our meet and greet with prepared questions! Our anxious dog immediately warmed up to her, and she was able to read his body language easily. She sent plenty of cute videos and pictures during her drop ins!”

Christine M.

“Annesha is so detail oriented and tries so hard to please not only the puppies but the owners!! She asks all the right questions and is so wonderful in every way! She kept in touch a lot and snapped some adorable pics of our babies (she watched our five dogs all ar once! Thank you Annesha!!!🥰🥰”

About: I’ve had all kinds of dogs—huskies, beagles, border collies, hounds—ranging from puppies to seniors who lived to 17. Each one came with their own challenges. One needed a cart to get around, another had a strong instinct to chase deer, and one would try to eat anything left on the ground, even gum. Every one of them required patience and time, and I worked through their issues using consistent positive reinforcement. I am available most of the week. If my current dog gets along with your dog, then I can do boarding at my house. If your house is close enough, I can get there early in the morning and late at night as far as boarding goes. I do have a fenced-in yard and 1 dog that may or may not like your dog. In the past all my dogs were friendly. This one is a bit picky.

“Jeanine took incredible care of my sweet boy! My dog can be quite stubborn and difficult to get outside, but Jeanine’s magical doggie powers got him outdoors and into the sunshine for his daily backyard adventure! Thank you for the daily visits over the last few weeks!”

About: I genuinely love dogs and enjoy adapting to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m a very active person who loves being outdoors, so I’m always happy to go on long walks, play, and keep energetic dogs engaged. At the same time, I’m patient and calm, which helps dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether your dog wants an adventure or just a companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be exactly what they need. As a recent college grad, I currently have a very flexible schedule, and I am taking some time during the summer before starting the next chapter of my career pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being outdoors whether it’s going for walks playing or simply keeping a pet company care for animals is something I find rewarding and look forward to. When caring for pets, I like to follow the routine they are already used to so they feel safe and comfortable. I thrive with structure, so I appreciate clear instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications for feeding, or any special needs. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, my goal is to be present, attentive, and give them the care they need.
