Heather has done a great job letting Whiskey in and out. I can tell by the photos that she sends that he's happy and enjoys his breaks. She's always on time and reliable.

Jazmin has been highly communicative, very proactive, and sent me a lot of photos of the fur babies, which put me at great ease. She’s also been very punctual and checked in with me during the visits. I so appreciate that kind of thoughtful support and strong communication! Will be reaching out to her for future pet care. Thank you, Jazmin!

Both of our cats warmed up to her pretty quickly which was a great feeling for us to leave the newest kitten home for the first time. We will definitely book her in the future!! ☺️

About: Dog mom to a friendly 3-year-old Lab mix and passionate about providing loving, attentive care. I’ve owned a dog for the past 12 years, but grew up caring for my friends and neighbors pets. Your pup will enjoy plenty of attention, walks on the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail, or relaxed time in our fenced backyard. Whether they’re young and energetic or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll treat them like family and care for them as if they were my own. For boarding, during the work week we are not home from 8:30-2:30. We will be home all day on the weekends. For walking and drop ins, I am available in the afternoon and evening during the week, all day on the weekends. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a secure fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. We have indoor cameras to monitor the house while we are at work. Our friendly 3-year-old Lab mix loves meeting new canine friends and provides great companionship for visiting dogs. I carefully supervise all interactions and make sure each dog feels comfortable in our home. We have an 11 year old and 6 year old that both grew up with a dog and are very caring and respectful of boundaries. They will be supervised while with your dog. Whether your pup enjoys active play, relaxing in the yard, or extra attention and cuddles, they’ll be treated like a member of the family in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up and been a pet owner for 18 years. I have walked, feed and cared for our family’s, friends, and neighbors. I’m am great with younger pets that need to release some energy and great with older pets that need a little bit more patience and time. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give a helping hand to your family. I’m completely flexible any days and times. Happy to do a meet and greet free of change! I currently own two pups named Dunkin and missy and a cat named bonnaroo. Which I care routinely. I don’t have any other big jobs right now so my main goal is focusing on the animals and making sure they get exercise. I love to get exercise and walk with my dogs. Also love to throw the ball with my dogs. By also Making sure they have food and water and stay healthy.

Our cats were happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. We’re so grateful for his care and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable sitter.

About: I’ve grown up with huskies and they are very high energy and active! I have experience with puppies as my sister adopted a chocolate lab puppy and I was over almost every week, including several different times where I watched him for a week on my own over the last year. I have also taken care of other small and large dogs and used to volunteer at Lucky Dog in D.C. where I walk ownerless dogs for free. My neighbor has relied on me to take care of her two cats for several different week-long occasions. I love playing with animals and will provide the best care because I know that our pets are our family. I work from home so I am able to watch pets during the day. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I am very flexible. I am able to let your pets out at any time of the day! I used to have a husky of my own so I know how important our “fur-babies” are to us. You can trust that I will give them the best belly rubs, treats, and take them on nice long walks. If you choose me as your pet caretaker you can guarantee your pet will get all the love and care they deserve!

Leticia did a great job taking care of my cat Madison. Madison is a loner and doesn't warm up to people but he trusted Leticia from the start. I loved the photos and videos that she forwarded to me. It gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for. I hope that Leticia will be available the next time I need to be away from home for an extended period of time.
