About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from horses to dogs, cats, birds, and geckos, providing professional, gentle, and loving care to pets of all kinds with patience and dedication. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day for feeding, exercise, cleaning, and giving animals attention, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for In my home or a client’s home, I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s needs.

“Great Sitter! The best I ever worked with. Ms. Shay treats my dogs as family and sees them as her dogs. Ms. Shay was so nice to take pictures and give constant updates, she also was so nice to give my dogs some of her own dog treats and snacks. I highly recommend. Going to be a for sure repeat customer.”

About: Back in 2014, my parents adopted my sweet Sadie girl! Ever since then, I have learned the responsibility of caring for my girl and giving her all the lovings! She has led me to caring for other dogs by walking and feeding them at their owners request. I’m a full-time teacher for FCPS, but am looking for something to do after school and on the weekends. I am available 7 days a week other than when my brewery that I work at part-time schedules me. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings on Saturday and Sunday. I can also be available on weekdays in the late afternoon. Once summer comes around, I will be very flexible and will adjust to your schedule.

About: Pets have always been a part of my life—whether fur, scales, or feathers, there’s never been a time my home wasn’t shared with animals. I truly believe pets don’t just live in a house—they make it a home and become family. I recently welcomed a playful cat named Ducky, who has quickly reminded us what it’s like to have curiosity, energy, and a bit of chaos woven into everyday life. That same appreciation for each pet’s personality carries into the care I provide. Whether it’s a quick visit or a longer stay, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for as if they were my own. I focus on maintaining their routine, minimizing stress, and making sure they feel secure and at ease—until you’re back home and reunited. I'm currently a reservist in the military, so I have a lot of free time to help busy schedules and vacations. You want to take that cruise you have been planning? Or have a busy meeting to go to? You can count on me We share our home with a lively, vocal kitty named Ducky who keeps things active and full of personality. She’s playful, curious, and always ready to “chat,” which has made us very attentive to creating a safe, calm, and well-managed environment for all animals in our care. That same level of awareness and responsibility extends to every pet I look after. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort, ensuring each pet feels secure and cared for as part of the family while they’re with me.

“I could tell once I came home my dogs (2 big 65 lbs boys) were super happy and relaxed after Ernest's visits. He is great with communication and I feel has proven to be very dependable. You can see he loves dogs and dogs love him. I look forward to working with him again in the future.”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and am a proud cat and dog mom at home. I currently work in cat care at a local shelter, where I spend my mornings caring for cats of all personalities — from shy and scared to playful and affectionate. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, litter care, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m especially patient with nervous or timid cats and always let animals warm up at their own pace. I also have experience caring for dogs, including walks, playtime, and basic care. I understand that every pet is different, and I always adjust my approach to match their needs and personality. Whether your pet needs attention, exercise, or just a calm and reliable presence, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I'm reliable, attentive, and always happy to send updates so you can feel totally at ease while you're away. I currently work part-time in cat care at a local shelter on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, and am typically available for visits later in the afternoon on those days. I have the most availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and can accommodate a variety of times for drop-in visits and dog walks. I like to keep Fridays as a personal day, but may occasionally be available depending on the request. I always do my best to be flexible and work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home, and I treat both your space and your pets with the utmost care and respect. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences your pet may have. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and overall safety to ensure your pet is always secure. I have experience working with animals of different temperaments, including shy or nervous pets, and I always move at their pace to help them feel comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. 🧡 On occasion my husband, Sean, may accompany me during visits. He is also very calm, respectful, and loves animals, but I will always communicate this in advance to ensure you’re comfortable.
“Liz is amazing! She is reliable, punctual, communicative, and meticulous with all pet instructions. All of my animals love having her around. She also cares for my extras (bunnies, chickens, fish, and snake). I will definitely use her anytime I am out of town.”

“Mary Catherine was excellent! Communication was great from the start and our dogs were well cared for and we were totally at ease! We highly recommend Mary Catherine! 🐾🐾”

“Kyla is the best! This was a last minute reservation and she was so great at assuring me that my cat would be well taken care of! She checked in and sent multiple updates throughout her visits. She was so friendly and great with my kitty!! I’ll definitely be reaching out for any trips I take in the future.”


About: I have taken care of everything from a fish, guinea pig, and dog to horses and donkeys. I have officially been a pet sitter for family friends for about a year, but I have taken care of animals since I was 12. My schedule is generally flexible. I am currently in college Tuesdays and Thursdays 11-2, pick my sister up from school every weekday, and babysit about 3 hours 2-3 times a week, so I won’t be available for pets who need a lot of time. I like having a routine, so I can easily follow any specific instructions, such as feeding schedules. I treat all animals I take care of as if they are my own. I can send frequent updates about your pets and love to stay in communication with you during services.
About: I absolutely adore animals big and small and love taking care of them, always have. I was practically born into this world caring for my beloved dog and best friend, Chadwick, until his last days. I went on to care for many other furry and scaly friends. I also have extensive experience taking care of my former landlords' 3 dogs that I lived with for a year. I am now grown and no longer have pets of my own, but that means good news for you! I am completely free to take care of your pets! I can take them for a walk or take care of them in your own home when you are unable. Even if your pet needs extra care, I am willing to put in the work and give them the attention and love they require. I can't wait to meet them and you! I am completely open to any and all booking times that you might require. Longer bookings are also welcome and workable. Please reach out with any questions or concerns you might have! I am extremely respectful of clients’ spaces and will leave it better than it looked. I always ensure any mess created by myself or the pets is cleaned.

Provided hair clips for your little girl and bandanas for the boys. All animals love me so if you have cats or other animals that won't bother me. So please contact me if you are interested. Thank you very much. I am available weekday and nights and weekends for your pet sitter needs. I accept all pups as my own with loving arms.

Sabrina took such good care of my dog Lucy. Usually she has a lot of anxiety when I’m gone but not this time time! I received check in photos and reports regularly and the extra photos and texts helped put my mind at ease. An e tra bonus was how clean and tidy everything looked upon my return. Won’t hesitate to use Sabrina again.

I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough! She took such wonderful care of my Betty Boop, stopping by three times on Wednesday to let her out in the yard and spend quality time with her. This is our second Betty watch. Jessica is incredibly responsive, answering questions quickly, sending updates and photos throughout the day, and putting my mind completely at ease while I was away. Which helps a tremendously as Betty and I don't often spend time apart, ha! Her availability has been a lifesaver. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves the animals she cares for. Betty Boop came running to greet me, happy and content, clearly having enjoyed all the attention and yard time. Reliable, kind, communicative, and so much more, she's the real deal. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your furry family member, look no further!

So thankful Tyson was available to help us with our pooches while our family was traveling. We were able to enjoy our vacation with our minds at ease while Tyson dropped in to our home where he provided the best care and fun for our boys! Tyson’s an awesome communicator and just a super nice person. I hope the next time we are traveling we are lucky enough to find him able to help us again! Thank you so much Tyson!!

This was our first time using Rover. Ernest provided excellent, caring, and on time service to care for our grand dog. Shes a German Shepherd and has some training, but still learning. Ernest was so patient with her and kept us up to date on every visit. We were concerned as she isn't fully integrated with other dogs, but Ernest shared that she was excellent when other dogs walked past her on their walks. She minded him very well. Ernest gas a gentle, calm voice and manners, so our dog surely responded well to behaving in his loving care. He did 3 visits a day and was always prompt! Thus was a positive experience for our dog and for us!! Thank you Ernest!!!
