I highly recommend Kathy without any hesitation!”

We're very grateful that we have found her and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and experienced sitter.”

“This was our second time booking with Jennifer, and once again she was wonderful. We have two cats, including one with diabetes who requires blood glucose monitoring and insulin injections, so finding someone we completely trust is incredibly important. She handled their care with confidence, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Our cats are well cared for by Iuliana. We appreciate the service provided and the cats do too !! The pictures taken by Iuliana on the visits, show the cats happy and interactive with her.”
“The individual I had lined up to care for my cat while I was out of town came down with the flu. Neena saved the day when she accommodated my last minute need. I was even able to rely on her to get yo my home throughout the recent historic winter storm we had, despite the snow, sleet and ice. Thank you, Neena!”
“Carlie was amazing with our Binx! Our feeder went offline and she went into action! She posted photos and followed up with us to make sure we knew we didn’t have to worry. Can’t recommend Carlie enough!”
About: I have such a huge soft spot for cats! I love getting to know each cat personally. I have experience taking care of cats of different ages and personalities, including younger kittens who may need extra patience, attention and supervision. Currently, me and my roommates are taking care of 2 young kittens and 1 grown kitty :)
“After another sitter canceled last minute, Emily was able to come in and watch my cats on short notice (over the holiday, at that!) She always did her check-ins in a timely manner and provided detailed updates. I’m very happy and would book with her again.”
“Liz is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats Luna and Peach within a week’s notice, was on time, communicative, played with them, checked on their health, and sent pics each visit! You can tell she really cares about animals, I definitely recommend her. Thanks, Liz!”
“Sydney is fantastic! She house-sat for us for five nights, caring for our elderly cat, Frankie, while we were out of the country. Frankie has medical issues that require frequent medication every 6–8 hours, and Sydney handled it all with ease. She had no trouble administering his pills and liquid meds and kept us updated with photos and messages at least three times a day. Knowing Frankie was in such capable hands made our trip much more relaxing. We will definitely ask for Sydney’s help again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
About: We are a household of animal lovers! Both my husband and I have had dogs and cats all of our lives, even spent time training dogs to be good citizens and therapy dogs. We currently have four dogs and two kids. All of our dogs are rescues. They are super lovable and playful. We also volunteer for a beagle rescue and foster dogs. Your pets will get lots of snuggles and playtime when we watch and walk them. For visits and walks, your pup will love the snuggles and time spent playing and walking your area (or even going for a car ride or to a walking trail or dog park). For cat visits, we will give playtime indoors. We have helped many family members and friends with pet care when they are away. We have experience in all diets, giving oral meds and senior dog care. We hope that you will give our services a try. I am self employed and work from home. Typically available for mid day let out/walk. If your pet stays with us we have a great yard for play and we do multiple walks a day. We regularly foster dogs so our dogs are very comfortable with other dogs visiting. We treat any dog that stays with us or that we visit just like our own. We provide a loving, fun place for your pet while you are away.
About: Hi and thanks for stopping to read more. I’m an animal lover. I’m patient and attentive to each fur kids needs and personalities. If they are on a routine, diet or have special needs, feel less stressed knowing it will be done. I have a diabetic dog so I am comfortable with administering shots and understand the importance of schedules, dietary needs and alertness for behavior. All the fur cats and dogs are welcomed anywhere in the home and on furniture, including cuddles for naps. I love playing, loving and training. I’ve trained one of my fur kids (Bella) to be my service animal. And because every breed has their own DNA hardwire, I make sure I’m aware of their general habits. I am a full time FurMom and am the go to person when someone needs a sitter because I don’t have other commitments and I can stay home, walk, train and/or care. I have an enclosed backyard patio with some dirt area for the bathroom and concrete to sun bathe. I also have a roof top deck fenced in if it’s a nice day for sun and breeze. I live in a really dog friendly neighborhood and have 3 floors for stretching their legs. I have a spare bedroom for anyone to relax in and an indoor camera to see monitor I am at home full time to pet sit and am able to maintain timely health care, recreation, feedings for your loved furry loved ones. Everyone is welcomed wherever they feel comfortable and safe. I have a quiet room separately if needed and I let my dogs out every 2-3 hours for bathroom breaks and continuous refreshing water. For my cats, I make sure all their preferences are in order and litter is cleaned out daily. I’ll spend laser chase and smart games throughout the day.
About: I know from experience what a challenge it is to find loving care for a family pet while you are away. I’m happy to provide that peace of mind for you. I’m currently retired and looking forward to filling my days with new animal friends, while getting a little exercise and helping my neighbors with their pet care needs. I currently have a beautiful black cat who likes to be queen of the castle so I’m happy to care for your pets in your home.
About: I believe that dogs need walks!! Not just let out to go to the bathroom, but real physical activity! Dogs need to see the world around them - this makes there temperament better equipped to handle strangers and other animals. I have a sweet yellow lab who thinks she is human -- no, really!!!! My Jags wants to play all the time. She loves other dogs - we are a dog lovin family! I believe that giving dogs proper exercise is what may set me apart from other sitters -- Im a fast walker. I am a responsible adult who cares deeply for the comfort and well being of all animals!! Fresh water is a must as well. I can't wait to meet your pup! Thanks for considering me. I’m very flexible! I work from home and that allows me to be flexible with my schedule – thank you so much! I look forward to serving you! I care for each pet as my own- I love fitness and making sure dogs and cats get the care and attention they deserve and require!

“Jenna had to handle my anxious dog on the day of the blue angels (definitely his least favorite next to 4th of July) and she was great with no complaints at all for all his nervous antics. Highly recommend!”
“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”
“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”
“From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!”
“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”
“Margit and Bill are very kind and our dog immediately felt comfortable at their home. They have 3 very sweet dogs and I was worried that our dog would be aggressive or difficult with theirs, but because her dogs were so chill, our dog was actually fine! Would definitely use their services again.”
About: I have had several dogs in my life through their entire life span. I recently lost my soul dog. Not ready to get another but because they bring me so much joy, I would love to take care of others. I have the time because I am retired. I also know the feeling of worrying that they are in the best care! I can assure you that they will be! I am retired for the most part. I teach yoga a few hours a week but I have plenty of time. I can take your dog for several walks, AM or PM. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have a very long leash to allow freedom in the yard. I also live in a great neighborhood with lots of dogs. My dog recently passed but we used to take lots of daily walks and had lots of interactions.
“Megan was great with Ember! We were down for a couple of days on vacation and she was incredibly flexible with us which made it so much easier! We were able to take Ember places dogs were allowed, but were also able to go and do our own thing with the help of Megan! Will definitely be visiting her again when we come back in the fall for vacation!”
“George was well taken care of and was happy at pick up. He enjoyed the company of the dogs. Very good communication and cute pictures. Will work on scheduling future stays.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”

“Words can not even describe how amazing Jill has been when watching our Nella. We came to Ocean City on vacation and quickly realized that Nella was a little stressed with all the people around and we didn’t feel right leaving her alone when we went out. We soon found Jill who put our minds at ease and responded to our request almost instantly. She has been extremely accommodating with our schedule and had truly saved our vacation. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing Nella was not only having a blast but was in great hands. We were sent photos and videos of Nella through out the day which really makes a difference. At the end of the day, she would send Nella home with little treats and even toys that she knew Nella enjoyed. It is clearly evident that Jill is not only great at what she does but truly has a love for animals. Again, words can not describe how great it has been to work with Jill. The only bad thing I can think of is that Jill won’t be around when we get back home! Thank you Jill for truly being great and taking such good care of Nella.”
About: Hey there new friend! I’m Erin, 30 years young, super fun personality, hardworking and dependable, I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds, shapes, sizes and colors my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup as if they were apart of my family; I take any (and all) opportunities to give them lovin’s, belly rubs, snuggles and i absolutely love to go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times with the more stubborn ones…but a little of my charm, and they seem to warm up to me quite nicely..I have yet to prove them wrong. I will be sure to love on your pooch with everything I have! A a fellow dog owner all my life, I know the best ways to make a furry friend feel happy and content. I’d take great care of them and give them my undivided attention if need be. I have a rescue and if I’m not working, she and I are out adventuring somewhere, dogs (and other animals) are the best! I’ve had animals of all shapes and sizes, from tiny rabbits to a giant 75 pound rescue dog that thought he was a lap dog. I’m starting school on the road to become a Veterinary Technician, and one day I hope to have my own business where all animals can come and be taken great care of and loved, tail wags included. Thank you for the time. -Erin. Now that the summer season has ended, I’m not working as much as I have been which opens up my schedule to be 10000% available and able to take care of the sweetest pups! I have my own vehicle so i don’t have any issues with transportation and am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, loyal and flexible. I love having the opportunity through rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. Feel free to bring their favourite toys or they can absolutely pick from my giant basket of toys and treats. I have an 1100 sqft rancher style home with hardwood floors (accidents happen and that’s not at all a problem!), and I have a back yard for leash walks and fresh air, and love going on walks around my quaint little neighborhood. Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own!
About: I’ve always loved animals! They bring me so much happiness. Dogs are family, your best friend, and deserve endless love, care, attention, and happy walks. 😊 I live in the area and work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day. I’d love to help get your pets outside for some fresh air, a walk, playtime or just a little extra love and attention while you’re busy. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! Whether I’m letting them out or keeping them company, I’ll provide a safe, trusted, and caring environment where they feel happy and comfortable.
About: I've taken care of a wide variety of animals my whole life. While I love all types of pets, dogs are my favorite. I have lots of experience. One of my dogs was a therapy dog within the public school system as part of a literacy program for elementary children. I have a nice fenced in backyard and live close to two pet friendly parks. My schedule is very flexible. There is always someone at home 24/7 so your furry friend will never be lonely. I can board, sit, or walk almost anytime. I have a nice fenced in backyard and live very close to two pet friendly parks. I have a very friendly corgi named Rocco to keep your fur babies company.
“Samantha is absolutely wonderful!!! She watched our dog at her home for an entire day and he was able to play in her nicely fenced yard. He was able to play with her dogs, which he does not get to do as we live in an HOA. I plan on using Samantha in the future when we need someone to care for our dog. I highly recommend her!!!”

“We were first time users this past weekend. Our dog Jasper proved very difficult. Jennifer went above and beyond trying to bond with Jasper. She kept us informed of the situation. We appreciate her extra efforts ❤️❤️”
“I have had the absolute pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Kimchi, to the care of Iuliana, and I must say, she is absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, it was clear that Iuliana possesses an extraordinary love and understanding for dogs. Kimchi instantly connected with her warm and caring demeanor. Iuliana's genuine passion for dogs radiates in every interaction. I was particularly impressed by Iuliana's incredible flexibility and understanding. Despite a last-minute change in my schedule, she graciously accommodated the time change for the walk. Her willingness to adapt to my needs without any hesitation truly speaks volumes about her dedication to the pets she cares for. The detailed updates provided after each walk were heartwarming. It was evident that Kimchi not only had a great walk but also thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Iuliana. She ensured Kimchi received the exercise, love, and attention that every dog deserves. Iuliana's reliability and professionalism are truly commendable. Knowing that Kimchi was in her capable and caring hands put my mind at ease. She exceeded all my expectations, making each walk a safe and enjoyable experience for my furry family member. If you're searching for someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if they were their own and consistently goes above and beyond, Iuliana is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry companions. Thank you, Iuliana, for your exceptional service and for being an invaluable part of Kimchi's well-being!”
“Erin did a great job with Gabby Grace. I injured my foot and needed someone to walk my 5-month old pup. Erin is very responsive and the best communicator too. She would message me when she was on her way to pick up Gabby and messaged me when she was headed back. Erin & Gabby totally adored each other. It was great to see, :). Highly recommend Erin for any needs you have regarding your pet!”
About: I’m reliable and loving. I’d love to be connected with your fur babies. Any age is fine with me. I have a puppy and a senior. Think about this summer when you are out having fun and have to rush home to feed or walk your pet. I don't overnight in my home or yours because I have four animals of my own. Sorry. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. Most any time of day . Night time in a well lit area is preferred for me I don't overnight here or at you home as I have to be here for my own pets. But I can spend the day .
About: I was a Mom of 3 dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take care of your pets. I currently work from home so that gives me the freedom to care for your pets. I can do morning, lunchtime and evening walks. I can do overnight stays. I will do a meet and greet to see what makes you and your pet comfortable. I will learn their schedule so I can keep them on their normal routine.

About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet care field, with a background that goes far beyond basic sitting or walking. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business, which means I approach every booking with a high level of responsibility, professionalism, and accountability. My experience includes working in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for animals of all species, temperaments, and medical needs. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and special-needs animals, including those requiring medications, mobility support, or extra patience and structure. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the body language and communication cues of different species, allowing me to understand when a pet is comfortable, stressed, anxious, or unwell. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and routine, which helps me recognize early signs of illness or behavioral changes and communicate concerns clearly and promptly with pet parents. My background in rescue and professional pet care has taught me the importance of calm, consistent care , especially for pets who may not thrive in boarding environments. I am confident working with pets who need extra reassurance, individualized routines, or specialized care, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and secure in their own home. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that allows pets to feel safe and understood while giving their owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is not something I fit around another job. It is my full time profession, and I have intentionally built my daily schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for my clients and their pets. Because this is my business, I am able to plan my days with flexibility and prioritize consistency, routine, and comfort for the animals in my care. I am deeply passionate about both my work and the peace of mind it provides to pet owners. Caring for other people’s pets is something I take seriously, and I treat every visit with the same level of attention and responsibility I would expect for my own animals. With advance notice, I am available 24 seven for scheduled care, including overnights, drop ins, and extended visits. I also offer emergency visits for established clients when unexpected situations arise, subject to availability. This added flexibility allows my clients to feel supported, even when plans change. My goal is to be a dependable, long term care provider that pet owners can trust to be there when they need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat each space with the same respect and responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own. I understand that inviting a pet sitter into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also come with letters of reference that speak to my professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I am mindful of home security, privacy, and routines, and I follow all client instructions carefully. This includes locking up properly, respecting personal spaces, and maintaining a clean and orderly environment during every visit. My focus is always on keeping pets comfortable and stress free in familiar surroundings while ensuring their home remains safe and well cared for. Whether I am providing drop in visits or overnight care, I aim to create a calm, dependable presence that both pets and owners can feel confident about. My goal is to provide in home pet care that is not only attentive and compassionate for your pets, but also respectful, trustworthy, and professional within your home.
About: I had a dog who was disabled for the last 10 years, he fell down our steps and broke his back twice. I took care of him everyday. I work only 5 hour shifts at the Captains Table in Ocean City, Md. Day shifts and night shifts. I can take care of your pets throughout and or in between those times. When I had my dog I walked my dog 30 minutes a day, fed & played with my dog cooper all day long if allowed. I’m getting another dog soon in the next month or so.
About: I am a very compassionate and outgoing person who wants what’s in the best interest of your pet. I have a very calm demeanor which makes pets feel extremely comfortable. I also have a 6 month old border collie so I’m extremely comfortable with high energy dogs I’m currently in between jobs so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am very compassionate and want what’s in the best interest of your animal. My boyfriend and i just got a border collie/ Australian shepherd puppy so i am very used to a high energy dog.

“Dina was great! She was very communicative, caring, and professional during our booking and was able to adapt to our last minute request. She did great with our large puppy and sent multiple pictures throughout their time. I would highly recommend her in the future!”
About: Hello! I offer a specialized, ultra-attentive doggy daycare and boarding experience right here in Dagsboro. Unlike traditional high-volume environments, my business operates on a strict Constant Care model.

Because I focus entirely on safety, peace of mind, and individualized attention, my rates reflect a premium level of service.

On-Leash Graduation: Once your dog is fully relaxed and comfortable with me, we graduate to controlled, on-leash introductions in our secure outdoor space. Secure Play Yard: Your pup will have access to a dedicated, secure potty area (which is currently expanding into a fully enclosed backyard) for safe sniffing and play. Strict Safety Limits for Peace of Mind: Small Intake Limit- I strictly cap my home at a maximum of 3 guest dogs at any one time. Your pup will never be overwhelmed by a large pack. Size Restrictions: I exclusively accept small and medium dogs to ensure a safe, harmonious energy level for everyone. Cat-Friendly Guests Only: For the safety of my household cats, I only accept dogs with a proven history of calm behavior around felines.If you are looking for a true "home away from home" where your dog is treated like family and never left alone, I would love to meet you! I work for myself out of my home so I have flexible availability. Limited availability Saturday mornings. Otherwise, though, I am free to hang out with your pup! I have a fenced potty area and plenty of space in my neighborhood for as many walks as is necessary! I have a senior small dog who loves to sleep and chill, but still has plenty of play left in him as well. Our home is also ruled by 2 female cats, they gave me permission to post this
