“Paige did a great job. All 4 cats were well taken care of and we were sent photos and information every day. Thank you Paige, we will do this again for all our trips.”
About: Dog sitting is something I truly excel at—I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I make sure each pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether that means sticking to their feeding routine, going on long, playful walks, or just being there for some quality cuddle time. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, quickly noticing if something seems off. I treat every dog like they're part of the family, and pet parents can relax knowing their furry friend is in great hands with me. I currently work part-time caregiver for my mom and father. I have a flexible work schedule so I can do all hours . I believe the more rime u can spend with a animal the more you conny just like a caregiver. I ahve a cat that is friendly and free to go as he pleases. i have toys and a nice yard to play in although will still have to be a leash. And as for your home i will keep the most responsible respectful i can be in your home and to your pet.

About: I have been able to work with my Mom, helping to show dogs, foster kittens and cats and care for our family pets. I have learned the importance of keeping pets comfortable in their own home. I can adjust my schedule to be flexible. In this way I can fit the needs for you and your pet without added stress to you or them. In your home, your pets are my singular focus! They deserve all the attention and love just like you would provide for them. Letting them be themselves and respecting them is important to me.

About: I’ve dog-sat for families, stayed overnight in their homes, and taken dogs on long walks. I’m reliable, nurturing, and animals naturally feel safe around me. I also take excellent care of my own cat, Willow, feeding her a raw diet and paying close attention to her emotional and physical needs. Willow travels with me wherever I go and is well-behaved and calm in new environments—so I can only accept sits where she is welcome to stay with me. Pet care isn’t just a task to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m flexible and available most days of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I like building a rhythm with each pet and can adapt to your schedule easily. I care for pets as if they’re my own—respectfully and attentively. I follow your routines closely, keep their space clean and calm, and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether in your home or mine, I create a peaceful environment they can trust.
About: I bring over four years of experience working with a wide variety of dogs and cats, giving me a strong understanding of unique pet personalities. I’m a full-time college student at Morgan State University, I’m a Psych major. I have a very flexible schedule to fit into your busy day! I follow the owners schedule, I leave the house tidy as when I arrived, I send pet photo updates via messages, and reinforce positive behavior.
“Hilary was on time and was very good with Munchkin. She was able to administer her medications, including her insulin. I look forward to using Hilary again.”
About: I have previous experience in caring for an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix for long periods at a time. Being a high energy dog- I’m prepared for anything. I’m willing to help in whatever way I can- and provide your pet with love and attention! I have always had pets, but currently can’t afford to keep one myself. Growing up I had a Rottweiler and a Jack Russell, as I became a teenager we adopted a Pit Bull type dog who really changed my perception about the breed. I have high energy myself- so I love to be able to get dogs outside as much as possible and burn off a lot of their pent up energy. Dogs need it just as much as children do! I work a normal 9-5 job usually Monday- Friday but I have a partner who works from home, who I could argue loves pets as much as I do. I have a big yard and perfect sized home that is very safe for big and small pets as it is a single floor home. I do have a crate if needed for your fur baby and will treat them like my own pet.
About: I’ve grown up with pets at home for the last 17 years. My extended family all have had dogs my entire life varying from Rottweilers, dachshunds, German shepherds and yorkies. I’ve walked, dog sat, bathed, taken care of for both short and extended periods of time for family and friends for about 10 years. I’ve recently moved to Virginia with some family and although not “technically” mine, currently with an extra 4 Maltese and 1 mastiff I set my own hours with my day job. Because of that, I set the same hours on a weekly basis to minimize any confusion. My parents currently have a dog who is very anxious and easily scared so from my personal experience, I’m great with making sure a dog feels more than comfortable with me. I allow them to sniff my hand and/or anything else including shoes, pants, shirt, whatever they need to feel comfortable. Trust with a dog is built over time and I will never force you for baby to go with me if they don’t feel safe.

Dawn G.Star Sitter
“Dawn is an amazing, caring, loving person. When she cared for my pup Mocha, I could see in their initial reaction with each other during our meet and greet, just how amazing, patient, and a true animal lover she is. Dawn puts the pups first, and made Mocha feel right at home. She always provided pictures and updates on how Mocha was doing, this of course gave me peace of mind knowing Mocha was having a good time. When Mocha came home she was happy and tired, I would absolutely without question be using Dawn again for my Mocha, and have already recommended her to everyone I know :) Thank you again for taking such good care of Mocha and also for taking the extra time making sure Mocha would eat, which is no easy task I know! lol”
Angela D.
“Angela is awesome!! I live with my father and sister, and we had a great big farm dog, named Cookie. Life has caught up to the family, so we haven't had as much time to tend to the dog. When we got Angela to help take care of Cookie, she went above and beyond. Not only did she feed and walk her, but she gave her food and played with her as well. Angela is a very caring, playful, and loving person, and even more so when it comes to her love for animals! My family was trying to get rid of Cookie because we could no longer afford the expenses, sadly. When we told Angela, she took it upon herself to find Cookie a wonderful home among the community, and even took Cookie away for us. If me or my family ever gets animals again, Angela will surely be the first person we will reach out to!”
Jessi B.
“Jessi would truly excel as a dog walker! His love for dogs shines through in everything he does, and he has a remarkable talent for connecting with them, regardless of their size or temperament. As a fellow pet sitter, I can’t express how comforting it is to have someone trustworthy like him to rely on. It means the world to me and my fur baby to know we have such a compassionate person to turn to!”
Hilary F.
“Hilary was on time and was very good with Munchkin. She was able to administer her medications, including her insulin. I look forward to using Hilary again.”
Hanna M.
“Hanna is an excellent candidate for becoming a dog walker/sitter. She has a passion for caring for others and is extremely responsible. Hanna has watched our two dogs and one cat multiple times and has always done a great job feeding them, making sure they have water, walking them and giving them all the love and attention they need. She will not disappoint!”
Elizabeth C.
“Elizabeth has heart, compassion and care in all that she does, especially when caring for animals. I have a high energy golden retriever that I trust Elizabeth to watch and walk on a regular basis. I would describe her as responsible and trustworthy, as well as patient and kind, all things any pet parent requires when looking for someone to look after their pet. My dog also loves her, too, and gets so excited when she sees Elizabeth walk in. Elizabeth is an ideal pet caregiver.”
