“Marissa was amazing with our Tank! She won him over quickly and we felt like he was definitely in good hands while we were on vacation. She was always on time when dropping in on him. She wanted to make sure he was eating and drinking, whatever it took she would do it. He loved his long walks with her. We loved how she played with him and gave him rubs and cuddles. We even saw her do a little foot dance one day when she dropped in on him. She’s definitely a 10 out of 10 and if we available she will be our first choice for our Tank. Would highly recommend!”
“L. Came twice daily and did everything we needed. One of our pets has special medical needs and she took care of everything. Kept us posted daily, cleaned up after accidents, etc thank you.”
“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.”
“Valle was amazing! Blossom was timid and skittish but she continued to try to engage and sent me photos. We even came before we left so she knew Blossom would know her and this was in addition to the meet and great! She even filled up the birdseed which was super nice. Very kind person. Highly recommend her!”
“Melissa and her hubby Mike were a delight to meet and true animal lovers, they took wonderful care of our Ellie, an 80lb old English Sheepdog. We were in a last minute bind and were going to be gone for 10 hours and wanted to make sure our pup was checked on and let out, and Mike played her and sent great pics too, which was most comforting... We will surely be using them again very soon. Thank you Melissa & Mike!”
“Teri was excellent with our cat Reagan. Engaged her in play with some toys that she brought and left our healthy and happy. Thank you so much Teri. We'll definitely use you again and recommend to others.”
About: My best friend is my dog. She is an American Pitbull-Terrior. I have been an animal owner for over 35 years. I have been an animal lover since I could walk. I'd love to give your best friend what they need when you cant. I work part time 4 days a week as a homeschool tutor and caregiver. I have plenty of time in my day to give your best friend the love it needs when you can’t. I won't be offering in home care at the moment. I have a dog who enjoys being the only dog. I can happily visit your home.
“Sara was amazing. She was extremely helpful in making my 1st experience enjoyable. She communicated well and kept me in the mix while I was away. I would highly recommend Sara and would use her again when I'm away”
About: I’ve been dogsitting since I was 18 years old. I love dogs of all sizes, and cats too! I’ll love them like my own fur baby ❤️ any questions feel free to ask! I’m currently working Wednesdays-Fridays from 7a-7p but open to other days! I like to live an active lifestyle and would love to bring your pet along with me to get a walk in during the day :) I have my own furbaby at home that loves walks, and would love to take yours on walks as needed. I can also pop in to play with them!
About: I have taken care of animals all of our lives. My wife and I have always loved playing and interacting with animals of all kinds, and I look forward to meeting yours! I am able to care for your animals around the clock! Whenever you need a sitter for your animals I am able to make it happen. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for your animals to get their energy out! We also have a 5 year old friendly fur baby to keep your animals company.
About: I can care for exotic animals too! Rats, snakes, birds, etc. are perfect! I have experience with big dogs, small dogs, housecats, outdoor cats, etc. Im a stay at home parent who runs their businesses from home. So I'm home almost all the time and can provide almost constant care. I have a fenced in yard, my dogs have their own room for when needed and when I'm not home, my cats are lose around the house but are all indoor cats that are generally okay with other cats.
About: My favorite pastime is walking with the dogs. In your neighborhood or in mine, we can go fast or we go slow, just as long as we go! No day is complete without some wags and walks. Does your fur baby need a special day or time for a walk? We can go on a morning run, afternoon walk, or an evening stroll. I do sleepovers! Does your pup want to stay at your place or mine? Either is fine. I have extra room on my couch and a comfy bed for your fur baby to lay their head.
“Jessica has been an exceptional caregiver to my senior dachshund. My dog requires medication every 8 hours for his heart condition and she was been very reliable and goes above and beyond!”
“Christine did a great job with Turbo. He threw up one day and got pretty lethargic and she was pretty worried about him but I told her not to worry, he's done it before, he's 16. And the next day she checked on him twice and was very excited to let us know he was 100% back to normal. Great to know that even in a few days, she cared so much about Turbo. Will definitely use her again if needed.”
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. I am more than willing to bring your puppy to my fenced in courtyard at my apartment complex. I am comfortable putting dogs into crates as well and feeding.

Katherine K.
“Kathy is amazing with my Shih Tzu Rex. She watches him for a few hours, 4 days a week. She walks him, feeds him, plays with him, and most importantly loves on him like he was her own. The minute she walks in the door, Rex runs right to her and will not leave her alone until she picks him up and snuggles him. She most recently had to take care of him for a day while I had to get a procedure done and I felt calm knowing he was in such good hands and being loved on. She even sends pictures so I can see how hes doing. She is warm, kind, trustworthy, and responsible. I know my Rex is safe with her. Thank you Kathy for loving on my furball when I can't be with him.”

“Victoria is very good with dogs! I have known her for over 3 years and during those 3 years she had her own dog. The dog was always happy and he was a very well behaved dog. Most importantly he was walked everyday weather permitting and she would walk him for a long time because he loved to walk!
