About: I had two dogs back in my hometown and they feel like boss of the house when I am around. I can take care of puppies, small dogs and big ones too. I am currently doing my masters at UMD and I am usually free in the day because my classe are mostly scheduled in the evening I live in apartment housing, well it has a park and lot of space to walk around. I can come to your house and walk them around.

“She was super friendly and very responsive. Communication was quick and easy, and she made the whole experience smooth and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I helped raise 3 dogs from puppyhood and cared for one senior dog and cat. The senior dog had major health problems, so I'm more than comfortable caring for pets with specific needs and health difficulties. I'm currently involved in volunteer work, and my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be available for the summer. Scheduling will be tailored around you and your pet's unique needs. As a pre-law student, I highly value and respect trust, safety, and boundaries. I promise to respect you, your home, and of course, your pet.

“Kate is amazingly caring and attentive to our girl Cali. She communicates regularly and goes above and beyond each time we’ve used her. Highly recommend!”

“Kelsey was fabulous. Sent lots of pictures of our cat over the week we were gone. I could tell she was happy to see Kelsey when she stopped by. I would highly recommend Kelsey for any of your pet care needs!”

“Alexandra was great for our stop-in visits with the catboys while we were out of the country. She communicated well and took great care of them. Will reach out to her again in the future when we are out of town.”

About: I have many years working with all types of dogs of many ages! I have several years of experience pet sitting for family, friends, and clients and providing them with dog walking services as well. My experience as a volunteer at my local animal rescue has taught me how to handle dogs of all personalities with patience and safety. I am a very active person, and love to take dogs on long, engaging walks, but am also equally happy providing them calm, attentive care in the house as well. I promise to give your pet the same level of cimmitment and love I'd give my own! I am currently a graduate student and I work from home every day. My schedule is very flexible and I can likely accomodate to your pet's needs. I am available for pet sitting/dog walking every day of the week. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex and do not have a yard. However, given that I work from home, I am available to take your pet out multiple times throughout the day.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I’ve been 12 years old. I also had my own dog for a couple years as well and I took her on walks, fed her, played with her, etc I am going to see how it fits into my work week schedule and see what would best work for both mine and the owners. I have a big park next to my house as well as trails I can walk on nearby. I also have space for the dog to run around and play outside.

“Gregg did multiple visits each day to take care of our two dogs while we were away. He was super punctual and always sent photos; it's a great relief to have someone reliable that you can trust with your pets so you can enjoy your vacation. We definitely recommend Gregg!”

Harry T.

“Erica was communicative, friendly, and very thoughtful when it came to taking care of our two cats!”

Caroline Q.

“Catherine did an amazing job watching my babies while I was out of town. I am so glad I found her on here! It can be difficult finding someone trusted that is also good with your pets. Catherine came right in and immediately my two dogs took a liking to her. Thank you so much Catherine I’ll def be reaching out again soon!”

Napreya B.

“​Jared was fantastic with our crew! We have a dog and cats who are pretty wary of strangers, but he was so patient and totally respected their boundaries. He eased in slowly and the results were great—everyone was happy and relaxed. ​The communication was awesome, and we loved getting all the updates. Plus, a huge extra thanks for cleaning up some cat vomit on our bedspread while we were out—definitely went above and beyond!”

“Lilla was great for visiting with my two pups! She was flexible and quick to respond when I needed a sitter due to unexpected trip to attend a funeral. She communicated well and provided me pictures of her visits. She even cleaned up after one of my pups when she got sick in the house. I’d recommend her and will use her again. Thank you, Lilla, and sorry about the pup mess!”

About: I love animals and truly care about their well being! I give one on one care for each pet, making them feel safe and loved when you are away. As a new pet sitter I bring a fresh perspective to the job and am eager to learn each pet’s individual needs. I am comfortable with a variety of animals and adapting to there lives, offering gentle and attentive support. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands! Promise to keep you updated with photos and messages. Having a full-time job and study while also taking care of a pet requires good planning. I set aside specific times during off days and early mornings for pet visits so they have consistent times for playtime, walks, and feeding. I’ve arranged my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, but also to allow me to get my work and studying done. I also provide longer visits or overnight visits on weekends to give pet owners flexibility with extended care. I’m a firm believer in communication and I will send you updates and photos to keep you updated on your furry friend. This way I can ensure that my pet gets the attention and care he deserves, even with my busy schedule. My home visits give your pet their normal routine and comfort zone. First I make sure their basic needs are met, fresh food and water, clean litter boxes and regular walks or potty breaks. I do exactly what you say as far as feeding times, medication and exercise routines. In addition to the basics I like to play with your pet, cuddle and keep their mind busy to help avoid any anxiety or boredom. I also keep a close eye on their behavior, observing any changes in appetite, energy levels or bathroom habits, and I notify these observations to you as soon as possible. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing and fun experience for your pet while you are away giving you the peace of mind that they are in caring hands.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or gentle seniors. I have experience with basic training for young pets, helping reinforce good habits, and I’m patient and compassionate with older animals who may need extra support or mobility assistance. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind. I can work part time and spend as much time as needed with each pet. I love taking care of animals. Pet care is a part of my daily routine I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to accommodate different needs. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks and any specific instructions. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates (Pictures), and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. At the end of the day I want each pet that I meet to have a loving care experience and feel relaxed and well cared for at all times.
