“As always Maria is the BEST! Goes above and beyond. So kind and thoughtful and most of all my fur baby loves her. Makes me feel very comfortable while traveling as often as I have been lately! Highly recommend!”
“Irene has been such a blessing to have as our dog sitter! She sends the best updates, photos and details about her visits with our three crazy dogs. Knowing that she is there while we are out of the area gives me a chance to actually enjoy the trip because we don't have to worry when Irene is there!”
“Lisa was absolutely AMAZING!! She took such great care of my cats, and paid so much attention to detail. I got detailed updates from her every day and many pictures and videos. She’s truly the best!”
“Alexis was tremendous. He left thorough review cards, lots of pictures, and was very communicative throughout his drop-ins. He was very flexible through a home-alarm difficulty, was very sweet to our cats, and we cannot recommend him enough. Please consider utilizing Alexis for your home visits!”
About: Animals have been in my family for as long as I could remember! When it was my time to take care of them, I loved them till my heart broke. I took care of my first ever pet fish, Rudolph, in elementary school till his last moments of life, the fish life can be simple but the work put into the fishes care can help create a fun and relaxing environment. After Rudolph, I have the pleasure of having the family dog Angel. A lovely pit bull mix, who made being fun and rambunctious seem to be the best characteristics in life. Later when I started high school, I had my first cat Lucy, who lived for a very long time until my junior year in college. I understood that cats are very laid-back, however I also understood that each cat has a unique personality, and like humans, take some time to see their personality. Very recently I take care of 2 cats with my mom named Rambo and Misty, we have had these kittens turned cats for a year and they still show me more and more how each cat is unique. I take care of these cats by providing a space of care, most people may think that cats are easy animals because they take care of themselves, but I realize that cats need to be taken care of as well in ways of having someone to play with, to having someone to cuddle with to having someone clean their litter box every day. My motto with animals is that, they should be treated with the same respect of humans. They should receive similar care and loving that we give to humans because of how much they do for us. And with my experience I have seen plenty of animals and I am always open to learning more about them. I have recently graduated from undergrad at McDaniel so as I am finding my footing in the world I currently strive to care for animals in my free time. With that I currently take care of my 2 cats almost every other hour, to feed them or to provide them cuddles and pets and when they need food or clean water bowls, I ensure they are done with integrity. I hope with the chance of taking care of your pets, I will have a new weekly routine. As mentioned, with my 2 cats, I let them get to know me in ways that can establish a sense of trust within me. Sticking to the daily routine of my client can help that process stick to where we can possibly make new connections similar to best friends creating a handshake to show the world their unique relationship, I would strive to do the same with your pets. When pets are seeing someone new they are nervous like humans, and if I can make sure when they see me, they can relax and possibly have fun I have done my job as a sitter, or a walker!
“Marissa was fantastic with my two cats. She provided dedicated care for my older cat, who is ill and has a specific routine. And she won the heart of my younger cat, who is normally extremely shy. Two thumbs up, like and subscribe to Marissa!”
“Asia is truly wonderful, she went above and beyond and my dog was very happy! she is very neat! she sent me photo updates and i was so relaxed knowing my puppy was in great hands, we are truly blessed to have encountered her on rover!”
About: I’m Dan and I love dogs. I’ve always had a K-9 companion and love the company dogs provide. Walks, fresh air and playtime are things I like just as dogs do. I’m caring, loving, and respectful and always treat others the way I want to be treated. I’ve had a dog all throughout my life and have experience caring for animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities! I have the most experience with Black Labradors, German Shepherds and Beagles, but would care for any pup. I understand how hard it is to be away from your pup so I’ll be in consistent communication, sending photo and text updates so you know how much fun your pup is having in my care. I have a flexible schedule so I can provide the perfect amount of love, activity, and play time in the care of your pup! I can’t wait to get to know you and your dog, creating a communicative, kind, and respectful working relationship. I will provide the same love, care and attention that I would provide my own dog to yours. It’s in my nature to go the extra mile to go above and beyond to make your dog feel like they’re at home! When I’m not spending time with animals, I spend my time working full-time at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. I love heading to the gym, reading, playing video games, and spending time with my family. Even though I do work full-time, this will not get in the way of providing an excellent stay for your K-9 companion. I am very flexible and accommodating in order to provide the best possible care for your K-9 friend. I live in an apartment complex in the Rodger's Forge near Towson University in Maryland. Our neighborhood is very green, dog-friendly and wide open for dogs to frolic, play, and jump! The neighborhood is a great fit for any pup! When booking for my services, please keep in contact with me and let me know the dates you wish to have you’re Pup stay over. Once you've contacted me, please let me know a best possible date and time to set up a "Meet and Greet", if needed. Once I accept a booking request, please respond within 24 hours so I can keep my schedule up to date. Please provide clear care instructions for your dog, so I can provide the best possible stay for them. Also, if you have any questions at all regarding my services or any accommodations during you’re Pups stay, please feel free to reach out to me at anytime. I look forward to meeting you and you’re K-9 Companion and hope to build long term relationships and provide outstanding services for both you and you’re Pup! *Please note: Upon picking up your pet, please make sure you have all the items you brought with your pet. I am not responsible for any items left behind. If an item is left behind, it must be picked up within 72 hours. After 72 hours, it will be discarded. Thank You! I work full-time, however I can still take your dog for a brisk walk in the morning and evening. I am off on the weekends so your dog will have plenty of exercise and play time. I have fenced dog park right behind my apartment where your day can be active and interact with other dogs from the neighborhood. I can also crate your dog if necessary.
About: Having had dogs my entire life, I've gained invaluable experience caring for both energetic puppies and cherished senior dogs. This lifelong passion has equipped me with the skills to meet their unique needs, whether it’s providing gentle playtime or thoughtful care for older companions. With plenty of free time on my hands, I’m dedicated to offering overnight stays, long walks, regular check-ins, and lots of playtime, ensuring your furry friend feels loved and engaged while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to offer my dog walking services during the afternoons, after 2 PM, and some mornings. This schedule allows me to accommodate your needs, whether you require a mid-day stroll or an early morning play session. I’m committed to providing personalized care and attention to your dog, ensuring they get the exercise and companionship they deserve while you’re busy. Caring for pets in a client's home requires a thoughtful and attentive approach. I prioritize maintaining their routines to ensure minimal disruption, whether it's feeding schedules, exercise, or playtime. I make sure to keep their environment safe and comfortable, providing plenty of affection and stimulation. Regular check-ins allow me to monitor their well-being, and I’m attentive to any special needs they might have. Additionally, I respect the home by maintaining cleanliness and following any specific instructions from the client, creating a positive experience for both the pets and their owners.
“This is my second time hiring Britney to watch our 3 cats and boa, and she was amazing once again! She’s clearly taken the time and patience to build trust with our cats, which means so much to us because they can be shy with new people. Shes also excellent at giving meds to our senior cat. It gives us peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Catherine was wonderful with our pups! She was attentive, very communicative, and made sure all their needs were met and more. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of furry friends/ family, cats and dogs, for four years. I’m open to only in-home servicing and day care or walks😊 I’m currently working part-time, so I will have availability for all fur babes M–F 12:00pm-7:00pm and Saturdays after 2:00pm. I go into clients’ homes, as is, check on, walk and sit and play with fur babies. After I return them to their homes or crates until the next visit.
“Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town. Our two babies were well fed and watered, and the more social one got some attention and play from Paulina too. The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!”
“Lina took wonderful care of our two cats! She is prompt to reply to messages and very reliable. Lina took time each visit to play and interact with the cats - even when the power went out in our house! We will definitely book her again.”
“Crissy was amazing! She was communicative, kind, and I know my pup was so thankful for her on the long days I was away. Already wanting to use her in the future!”
“Sam was absolutely amazing! We suffered a kitty loss shortly before our holiday, and Sam couldn’t have been more accommodating as to the needs of our remaining feline baby. Sam was very flexible and took wonderful care of Otto, as well as looked after our outdoor plants and brought in our mail. Sam also was very understanding of our use of monitoring cameras inside the house, and she was very responsive to questions we had during the holiday. Sam provided us with detailed daily updates and photos, which made us feel very comfortable leaving Otto in Sam’s very capable hands! We couldn’t have asked for a more professional and reliable sitter, and we will definitely use Sam again in the future.”
“Malina is very easy to work with and a pleasure to interact with. She took great care of my silly pups and I would happily recommend her to anyone. Looking forward to working with her again!”

Blair is the very best pet sitter! Look no further! She took care of my crew of cats for 2 months after I had surgery. She goes above and beyond! And leaves everything so clean and tidy. A real lifesaver for me. I will definitely keep her as my cat sitter in the future. A++++!
We were away for six days and felt so comfortable leaving our Siamese cat, Gus, with Michelle. Gus has a lot of personality and usually doesn't like many people, but Michelle truly had the magic touch! He was completely at ease and so cuddly with her. She was great at communicating and we loved getting all the photo updates. We will definitely book her again!
This was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone outside of family, so I was honestly very nervous. My dog is extremely shy, very attached to me, and doesn’t warm up to people easily. But Amy made the entire experience feel so safe and comfortable from the very beginning. One thing I truly appreciated was that she took the time to meet my dog before the actual booking day and never forced interaction. She allowed him to approach her at his own pace, respected his space, and made him feel comfortable naturally. Seeing that level of patience and understanding meant so much to me. While I was away, Amy constantly kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The photos showed my dog relaxed, laying next to her and even cuddling with her, something he normally doesn’t do with strangers. That alone told me everything I needed to know about how caring and trustworthy she is. She was punctual, responsible, respectful, attentive to every detail, and genuinely cared about making sure my dog felt safe and comfortable the entire time. I could tell she truly loves animals and treats them with so much patience and kindness. I’m beyond grateful for the care she provided and I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pet. She exceeded all my expectations and I would 100% book with her again.
Marissa goes to great lengths to make sure all of our pets are taken care of. She consistently checks in, provides great photos, and her updates are thorough. She is great at following any specific instructions even if they’re absurd because of a needy dog or a cat that tries to escape at any chance. We are so grateful to have found Marissa and will continue to use (and have already booked!) her services again.
Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town.

The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!
Courtney, did a wonderful job with our boys. We have a shy cat and he took right to her. She sent regular pictures and did regular check-in’s. We feel lucky to have found her. She made our vacation much less stressful. We will definitely use her again or you recommend everybody else use her except if we need her at that time. 😉
