“Thank you, Alyssa, for the great job you did taking care of our fury babies while we were on vacation. Bella and Winnie loved their daily walks and they hope to see you again in the future for more walks.”


About: My pets have always been my children! I’ve had my own pets for 25 years as well as family pets growing up. I also enjoy light puppy/dog training. My schedule is very flexible as I am an entrepreneur. I may also be able to accommodate rush requests so please feel free to reach out! I’m available to feed, provide medication, walk your pet, or let them out to the yard for play and potty break. Your pet will always be leashed while outside of your home/ fenced yard.

“Baylie came through last minute to watch our dogs Miko and Ren and we couldn’t be more grateful! Her daily updates and pictures of our dogs put us at ease and entertained us during our trip. We will definitely be reaching out to Baylie for future travels!”


About: I've grown up with, owned, and taken care of pets for as long as I can remember—old mellow dogs, fluffy young kittens, feisty chickens—you name it! The challenge of learning each pet's unique personality and needs has always fascinated me as a caretaker. I love getting to know them and building trusting relationships to give them the best quality of life possible. I’m a retired engineer looking for pet caretaking opportunities to keep life fun and adventurous! My wife, Stephanie, and I currently own one dog and two cats. Our home is in a wooded area with a fully fenced backyard. Pets that board with us have the option of private, single-level living, or they can share the house with us. We also have a standalone pet wash and dry station if pet washing services are something you're interested in. We’ll cater to their needs and ensure they are content and comfortable. I’m also an avid walker and hiker, and I love getting outside whether it’s rain or shine. For dog walking and pet visits, I enjoy heading to local parks (Cypress Creek and Lake Waterford are my go-tos) or patrolling the neighborhood for any new sights and smells. I am a house husband with one dog and two cats. The pets are the focus of my daily routine. My dog and I go to the park every morning and walk the neighborhood at night. Any dogs that I board become part of our family routine. If they are comfortable they can join us on trips to the park and walks around the neighborhood. If they prefer solo time then I will take them on dedicated trips to the park and walks! I have a dedicated room for dog and cat boarding that is separate from the rest of the home where our dog and cats reside. Any boarding guests can use that private space or can join the other animals in the other parts of the house if they are comfortable. Our fenced in backyard and dog grooming station are on the same level as the dedicated boarding space.


“Lynn was prompt in her communications in setting up our meet and greet. She was on time and very friendly. She asked a lot of great questions and made my Mom feel comfortable with a process she is getting comfortable with.”


About: I've owned dogs my entire life and currently have a cocker/bichon mix and a lab. They needs friends so I thought what better way to have play time for them than this! I have young children so all pups must love kids! I conveniently live 20 mins from BWI airport and very close to 97 and 100 for easy drop off. I can also arrange to pick up/drop off your pet for an additional fee. I am mostly a stay at home mom. I do some gig work here and there (uber eats, amazon flex, instacart) but that is all flexible and I can do it as I please so my availability is very open. I have a small fenced in back yard and gated deck area for outdoor play. I have a small neighborhood with sidewalks for walks. We do live in a townhouse so neighbors are super close so if your pup is an excessive barker my home may not be the best option. We can handle some barking just not all through the night or and excessive amount during the day. We have 2 cats in the home but they mostly hang out upstairs while the rest of us are on the main level.

“Jacob was very responsive and he was great with my pups. He was flexible with the schedule to accommodate the needs of my pups. He was very friendly and the pups seems to look forward to seeing him. We will definitely use him again.”


About: Hi there! I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and am so excited to get to know your pet! Currently I own three cats, however, growing up I have always had dogs (both big and small) and I continue to occasionally dog sit my moms pup Kiwi. For the past 12 years I’ve pet sat for family, friends and friends of friends. Through my time pet sitting I’ve gained experience with dogs of all energy levels and ages, including puppies and seniors. I also have no problem administering medications. My passion for animals has led me to a career in pet retail management for the last 6 years, which has allowed me to become familiar with dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. Additionally I’ve become very comfortable with the handling and care of many other types of pets including reptiles, small animals, birds and aquatic life. Along with my cats, I also own 2 birds and a leopard gecko (: I am focusing 100% of my time into pet sitting and care, so I’ll be available for your pets needs 24/7! I am very flexible, so don’t hesitate to reach out for a last minute booking! I’m so happy you’ve trusted me to take care of your pets! To build that trust I like to make sure there is clear communication on expectations prior to visits. I am open to doing whatever you’d like during my time with your pet including but not limited to walks, hikes, playtime, brushing, snuggles or just lounging around.

About: I have taken care of animals from as large as a horse, steer, and mama pigs to as little as goldfish, turtles, and stray kittens! I am currently a nursing student so I am in the hospital part time. My schedule varies but if I am in the hospital I will let you know how that may affect care if it will affect care at all :) My own animals have a big ole yard with an electric fence as well as a privacy fence on one side of the yard! I live an active lifestyle and often go on walks or hikes with my dog. My own puppy banjo loves to go on runs with me! Keeping your pet safe and happy is a priority! They are apart of the family and it’s important to keep those kitties purring and those doggy tails wagging!

About: I’ve grown up with rescue dogs my whole life and currently have a 3-year-old rescue named Wally. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your pets. I love taking dogs for long walks (get both of our steps in!) and making sure they get the attention and care they need while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick stroll or some extra belly rubs, I’m here for all the walks, wags, and pets! I currently work remote from home so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available for long and short walks and belly rubs while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old rescue hound mix that loves friends to run around with. I love long walks with the pups around Annapolis taking in the scenic views.

“Madi is amazing! My pup Bella gets so excited when Madi shows up to take her on walks while I’m working. Bella always comes back happy and tired :) Madi is quick to respond and a great communicator, and I love getting the great pics and updates from their walks. So happy we found her!”

About: I’m a passionate dog lover with 12 of experience caring for furry friends. My home is a welcoming space for dogs of all sizes, and I believe every pup deserves plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention and care to furry friends throughout the day. I believe that every dog deserves a loving environment, and I’m excited to share my home with them! I provide personalized care tailored to your dog’s personality and needs.

About: Welcome to My Luxury Dog Inn – where every pup enjoys their own private room, a peaceful atmosphere, and exceptional care. With years of hands-on pet care experience, I combine the comfort of a boutique boarding stay with the expertise of a veterinary professional. My background as a veterinary tech assistant and current overnight work at a veterinary emergency clinic mean I’m confident in handling everything from daily routines to medication administration — all while keeping your dog safe, happy, and comfortable. I specialize in easygoing dogs—whether playful puppies or gentle seniors—who are comfortable spending the night in their own cozy bedroom. This ensures a calm, stress-free environment for every guest. Each stay comes with a personalized care plan based on your dog’s needs, routines, and personality. From plush bedding to one-on-one attention, I treat every guest like my own. To maintain a calm, safe, and truly personalized experience, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time. This ensures every guest gets my full attention, one-on-one care, and a stress-free stay. Because spots are intentionally kept small, they fill quickly — reserve your dog’s room now to secure their place. If you want a safe, serene, and loving home-away-from-home for your dog, I’d be honored to welcome them. I’m delighted to welcome new guests to my Luxury Dog Inn. To ensure every pup feels comfortable and cared for, I require a trial night before their first full stay. With only a small number of rooms available, each guest enjoys an exclusive, personalized experience — which means spots fill quickly. Reserve your dog’s stay early to guarantee their place. In my home, each guest enjoys their own private room for sleeping and downtime, creating a calm and stress-free environment. Dogs are not socialized with one another, so every guest receives individual attention, outdoor time, and enrichment tailored to their personality and needs. I maintain a consistent routine with multiple potty breaks throughout the day, feed according to your instructions, and ensure fresh water is always available. With my background as a veterinary tech assistant and current work in a veterinary emergency clinic, I’m confident in administering medications, monitoring health, and providing specialized care when needed. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved — just like they would at home.

Sahar A.

“Super friendly and has good communication!”


Isabel O.
“Izzy is super reliable and was great with our pets. She stayed at our house for a week while we were out of the country and watched our 3 dogs and cat. Our dogs are all different ages and sizes and she was able to keep with all of their needs, one being very anxious away from us and another needing daily medications. It was easy to get in contact with her and she communicated with us when she had questions or concerns. Highly recommend using her!”


Christine T.
“Christine is very dog loving! She does a fantastic job watching our dogs. She is a skilled dog walker and always makes sure the dogs are comfortable and having a good time. Christine is also a dog owner so she takes her relationships with dogs very seriously. I would highly recommend using her for your dog needs!”

“Elisa has been helping with my animals for years! Her family is always happy to help us even in a bind ! She currently looks after our 2 dogs and when we’re out of town she comes by to help with the cat and snake also. We have no problem giving her a house key. I highly recommend using her for all your pet needs !”


Holly C.
“Holly was absolutely amazing with our two Yorkies! She took care of them as if they were her own, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. She kept us updated with adorable pictures and let us know how they were doing each day. Our pups can be a bit high-maintenance, but Holly made sure their routines were followed perfectly, and they came home happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Holly for anyone looking for someone reliable and caring!”
