“Claire is absolutely awesome! It’s difficult any time you leave your fur babies at home for a prolonged period, it’s hard to know who to trust and if they will get along with that person too, but we truly were fortunate to have found Claire! My pups looked ecstatic every day they spent with her, her communication and pictures sent daily, make that time away less difficult. She spent time with them and was on time with all her check ins. We are so grateful to have her in our lives. You can tell how passionate she is about animals. Thanks for caring for our babies, like they were your own!”


“Fabulous! She was so understanding of our labradoodle who has a licker problem and so patient with our shih tzu who is scared of strangers. She has tons of energy and my pups were very happy.”


“Neomi was amazing! We needed a sitter last minute with our puppy, and she really helped us out. She was responsive and even switched up the timing of her visit for us. We highly recommend Neomi!”


“Lori visited with our three dogs on two occasions while we were vacationing in Ocean City. The dogs took right to her. We felt comfortable leaving them with her. We enjoyed receiving pictures while we were out. We will definitely call Lori the next time we are in Ocean City.”


“Taylor was great taking care of my elderly cat. I was concerned about leaving him as he requires medicine twice a day, but she kept me informed and even sent pictures. I would highly recommend Taylor.”


“Avery is great!! She had excellent communication and follow-through the entire week of drop-in visits at my house. I loved the personalized notes/report cards she left after each visit. Avery is very trustworthy in your home. Her warm and calm demeanor is perfect for the care of your animals. I knew that my pet was in good hands from the moment I met her… This peace-of-mind allowed me to enjoy my vacation and time with my family even more - knowing my cat’s personal care was being handled with the upmost professionalism back home… I can always tell the level of care a pet sitter gives while I am gone, based on my cat’s behavior and stress level when I return, and my cat couldn’t have been more relaxed - like I never left! I would highly recommend Avery to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter.”

“It was so great to have Emily come let our puppy out! She stopped in to meet her ahead of time and sent us pictures of our girl having a great time! She was super reliable and helped us get out of bind.”


“Melanie was fantastic taking care of my cat, Jimmy. I went out of state for Christmas and had her come twice a day for a week to feed him and clean his litter box. She sent me pics, videos and notes the whole time which was comforting since I had never left him for more than 2 days before this trip. She even took my trash and cleaned out the sink of his bowls. I can definitely recommend Melanie!”


About: I have always loved animals and always been around them in my home. I have years of experience with feeding, exercising, and providing enrichment for both cats and dogs. I understand the importance of making sure they feel comfortable as well as respected during our time together. My goal is to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy, and cared for when you need a little extra help! I’m currently working part time, and have plenty of time to hangout with your fur babies. With my current seasonal hours slowing down, your pets can be guaranteed a sitter with pretty open availability! I have a large backyard and one level home for your fur baby. I have access to 5 miles of shaded and accessible trails as well as a dog friendly beach. My furniture is meant to be enjoyed by four-legged friends and I love taking them on “field trips” to many of the natural areas I have access to!

“Penelope was awesome with our cat butterscotch! She was very attentive, caring and responsive! I would definitely recommend her taking care of your pet! We will be using her again here in a couple weeks!”


About: I am a military wife and mother of 3. I have been around animals my entire life. Everything from pigs and horses to dogs and cats. I love all animals. I have 4 dogs of my own. All very high energy, including 2 bloodhound puppies. I have a 9 year old that loves to play in the backyard with them. They all run and play fetch with balls or sticks, whatever the pups want to do that day. Before we moved to Virginia, I worked full time, so now that I’m home all the time my dogs love it. We take breaks during the day just to go outside and run as long as the weather allows us to. I would adopt more dogs or cats if my husband would let me, but that isn’t happening. So instead I take care of other peoples’ dogs like they were my own. I am working part time right now since I have a hard time doing nothing, but I work from home and I have very flexible hours. I am currently not able to board pets at my own home since we did just move and we haven’t gotten everything just the way we like it yet, but would be more than happy to pet sit at the owners home.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 17. I’ve help family and friends care for pets when I babysit their children. I loved being around the pets and children which is why I use my extra free time to provide attentive and loving care to others babies and fur babies as well! I currently work from home full time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. They would have my attention and care at any time needed as I have more than enough time on my hands. I live in an apartment complex close to the beach, so I am open to caring for them in your home or mine! Whichever works best for you!

About: I have lived with and cared for cats and dogs my entire life. Neighbors, family members, and friends have looked to me to care for their pets. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, especially large ones! I can handle temperamental pets with gentleness and understanding. I am also great at giving pets medicine or helping with any medical conditions. I graduated December 2023 from Belmont University with a Bachelor’s of Arts. I am currently enrolled online at Northeastern University earning my Masters. I always make play with each pet and check that their environment is clean and safe. I clean up and scoop litter boxes; throw away and change potty pads. Sometimes I am asked to vacuum and water plants as well, which I am happy to do. My schedule is wide open! Pet care is my daily routine as I have cats at home. I am also a full-time pet sitter so I interact with dogs and cats weekly. I cuddle with my cats every day, they are definitely all lap cats so I am covered. They are very sweet, so they gets lots of treats and playtime. I provide plenty of space for litter boxes and I separate their food bowls so they don’t steal from each other.

Claire C.
“Claire is a lover of all animals and goes above and beyond to provide care for them. With her own cats and the pets of her friends and family, she makes sure that everything around her animals is perfect so they can be in a happy and healthy environment. Beyond that, she has an excellent instinct for knowing what an animal needs. Whether that be more food, rest, to be taken outside, a litter box change, or even medical care, she will recognize when an animal needs her attention before anyone else does. She is also one of the kindest human beings you will ever meet! She will treat you with the utmost respect and professionalism and you will never regret interacting with her.”
