About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and look after their pets. While doing this on a part time basis, Pet care is a regular part of my routine—I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and make sure each pet gets the care and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment—whether in my home or yours. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like medications. I keep pets comfortable, engaged, and stress-free, and I always send updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for. I have a fenced in yard and one small dog that can be a companion for your dog or respecting each other space. I have no issue using a crate if preferred.
About: I have 1 dog and four cats, a few years of pet sitting experience, and even worked as a kennel tech at a dog kennel before. I’m currently in the process of finding a part-time or full-time job since I’m taking a break from college, but pet sitting on the side would give me a good opportunity to not only earn money but to give me a purpose and do something I’ve always loved to do: caring for and helping animals (and helping their owners out too!) Like I mentioned, I have several pets at home so I can easily do things like taking dogs outside to go to the bathroom and on walks, feeding them, clean up after them (I especially clean litter boxes a lot), and I can even stay with them as long as they need if they don’t do well being alone for long periods of time.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, but life circumstances haven’t allowed me to have a pet of my own for awhile—so I put all that love, attention, and care into yours. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or just keeping your pet’s routine steady while you’re away, I treat every furry friend like family. I am looking to fill some of my time loving on your pet. I have always loved dogs and I miss having them in my home. Flexible hours for availability. I also walk a lot and would love to have a companion! Sounds like a win win! I am looking for opportunities to care for pets outside of my home. Due to family allergies I am unable to own a pet so I am looking to love on yours.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats as a pet sitter in other people's homes. I attended vet tech school before switching to human healthcare. I have befriended extremely shy pets with love and patience. I have even raised my own 20-year-old cat from a 3-week-old kitten. I am currently between jobs, as I just moved back to Maryland and I am finding my place in the healthcare industry again. All the more time to spend with your furbabies! I am currently available any time of the day or night to take care of both dogs and cats. I will happily come over to feed your cat or dog, and take your dog out to potty, play with them, or even things like provide comfort if they get upset during fireworks or a thunderstorm. I am always sure to leave the home exactly as I find it (unless the pets need cleaning up after, of course!). I always double check that doors are locked, and will send you updates as frequently as you'd like.
About: I've been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my neighborhood since I was 14. Whether you're friends, family, or friends of family, I always strive to give your pet the love and attention that I give my own fur babies. I am currently working full time, but am trying to transition to remote work to allow more flexibility with pet sitting. My evenings after 5:30pm and my weekends are completely open to any sort of pet sitting or dog walking need. I prefer to stay in the client's home in order to keep your pet as close to their regular schedule as possible. Of course, if that doesn't work then I can bring your pet to my house where they will be walked and played with the same way that I spoil my own dog.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats before. I also have plenty experience taking care of bigger animals as I used to be a working student at the barn I boarded my horses at from when I was 10-15. I’ve been trusted by many friends and family to take care of their furry friends including but not limited to horses, bunnies, fish, dogs, and cats. I have experience with grooming dogs as well due to having a golden doodle of my own. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! I currently work a Part-time job that schedules me 2-3 times a week so I have a lot of availability to make house visits or spend the day as much as you would need me to! I also love to go on walks and take hikes so if I am looking after an Active dog it is no problem! If your dog likes to play with other dogs I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs of mine who are very friendly. I am very neat and organized so the chance of your animal eating something or getting into something they’re not supposed to is very slim.
About: Since the age of 16 I have happily taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies, and other creatures for neighbors and friends. My natural ability to connect with animals coupled with my meticulous care and attention to their specific feeding, walking, and medicine schedules make me a great animal caretaker. I am currently only working part time, so I am available to walk and pet sit on both weekdays and weekends from morning until evening. My work shifts are only in the afternoons twice a week. I am a responsible guest who is willing to accommodate clients’ specific wants and needs im regards to pet sitting, whether it be for quick dog walks or longer stays. If your pet needs to be crated while alone, I am more than happy to accommodate. If they are not allowed in certain rooms or on certain pieces of furniture, I will make note of that. If they are allowed to roam wherever, I am also happy to allow that! Additional, I respect guests’ privacy and treat their homes with the utmost care and respect while pet sitting.
About: I grew up and have taken care of dogs ever since I was about 8 years old. Throughout the years, I've had the chance to care of different breeds/mixed breed dogs. I'm currently working from home which gives me good flexibility in playing and waking your pups. I'll focus on listening to your needs and ensure that you are informed of any adjustments, send pictures, or whatever else your pet's needs may be. I live in a neighborhood that provides a dog park as well as plenty of areas for taking your dog for a walk. I value trust and will focus on the details each dog owner provides to ensure a more personalized experience.
About: With several years of experience in pet care, I've had the pleasure of working with a variety of breeds and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I understand the unique needs of each pet and tailor my care accordingly. My hands-on experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medication, and providing lots of love and attention. Ensuring the well-being and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority 🤗 Balancing pet care with my daily routine is a breeze because I prioritize my furry clients' needs. I schedule walks and visits around my flexible work hours, ensuring each pet gets the attention and exercise they deserve. Whether it's early morning strolls or evening playtime, I make sure to integrate pet care seamlessly into my day! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet care provider, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their safety and happiness with every walk and visit. Your furry family member will always be in caring and trustworthy hands with me 🐾

Christine R.
“I have known Chris for more than 20 years. She is an extremely responsible, intelligent, and compassionate person. All of my pets have always loved her--even ones that were usually too shy or skittish to allow anyone else near them. I consider my pets to be my children (in lieu of actual kids), and I trust Chris with their care with zero hesitation. Anyone who hires Chris for pet care would easily see not only how seriously she takes any job, but also how genuinely she loves all animals and gives them the best possible care.”

“I can’t recommend Alicia enough—she’s an amazing dog sitter! From the moment she met my puppy, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands animals. She’s reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog feels safe, happy, and entertained. The only downside? I’m beginning to think my dog likes Alicia more than he likes me! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Alicia is the one!”
