“This was my first time using a sitter for my fur baby. Rodney and Marissa sent a written update along with pictures. Hachi seemed quite comfortable with them and his new playmates.”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”
“We have two English Mastiffs and this was our first experience with Boarding. Our girls have always been watched at home and they’re a big pair of ladies to accommodate, so we were a bit apprehensive. At our meet and greet Heather was fantastic. Her experience shined through; she was easygoing and patiently answered all of our questions. We decided to have a “dress rehearsal” overnight and it was a hit! The girls had a great time, we received loads of pictures and updates and when I arrived for pickup our girls were both relaxing in the den. If our girls were at ease then we’re at ease. We highly recommend Heather.”
“Oliver was so loved by Svitlana and her family. I had regular updates and photos, and my dog seemed so comfortable and happy while there. Svitlana was very communicative, and I highly recommend her. We will be repeat customers for sure.”
“Candace and her family are amazing. There are know other words for them. From the second Shadow was dropped off they loved on him and treated him as their own. I believe they wanted to keep him for good but we had to have our boy back.😊 But let me say this every time we travel if Candace is available Shadow will be staying with her and her family.”
“Lonnie was fantastic with our dog and very accommodating. He has a great yard for dogs to run and play with them and you can certainly help loves having them around. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”
“Lydia was fantastic! She welcomed her home to us with her lovely family including her chickens during our meet and greet. We proceeded to boarding 2 nights with her. Her home provided a warm, cozy and energetic vibe for our Poodle who is out going and craves human interaction. Lydia was not familiar with poodle grooming initially but after a quick demonstration and positive feedback she mastered it in no time. I appreciated her attention to detail, ability to communicate throughout the day and her willingness to learn how to care for specific dog breeds. It was a mutual rewarding experience and she even supervised her children doing obedience training with our pup.”
“Jena was AMAZING! My dog thoroughly enjoyed himself the week he stayed with Jena. She sent lots of pictures throughout his stay and kept in contact with us. I highly recommend her. She also has a very spacious backyard and there was a ton of play time and time outdoors. Cannot recommend her enough. We definitely will be booking with her in the near future.”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“Bingley and his humans couldn't be happier when he gets to stay with Megan, Jake and Duncan. He's thrilled with the attention and activity he gets and we're relaxed knowing that he has the best care possible. We all hit the jackpot.”
“Dear Carla and family thank you so much for the care you provided for our fur baby. We enjoyed seeing the pictures of her and with your dog Max, especially the picture of them going for a ride in the car-they looked so excited. It was comforting to receive your texts and pictures. Thank you”
“My 4 pound malti-poo stayed with Dorothy for 2 nights. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent pictures and was very calm and loving towards him. I highly recommend!”
“James and Mary are wonderful! They took such great care of Hoosier while we were away and always kept us updated with how he was doing with daily pictures! I felt at ease and was able to relax while on vacation knowing he was in such great hands. Big thank you to them for being so wonderful and looking forward to the next time Hoosier spends some time with James and Mary!”
“Steph couldn’t have been any more perfect for our dog, Remy! It was the first time we left a pet with a non-family member but I felt completely comfortable. Steph even has a doggie-sofa in her living area. I could tell from our first meet and greet that she was in tune with dog behavior. Her dogs are the sweetest hosts too! When we picked up Remy, I could just tell that she had a wonderful weekend. I really appreciate having a reliable, loving place to take Remy when needed.”
“Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! My dog, Cooper, has anxiety when it comes to being away from me, which can make leaving him difficult. Kimberly made the entire experience so much easier by sending photos of him relaxed and comfortable, along with thoughtful updates on his care. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We were so pleased with Kimberly that we’re already hoping she’ll be available again in July. Thank you for taking such great care of Cooper!”
“Silvia & Roberto were FABULOUS & I can’t recommend them highly enough - we will DEFINITELY book with them in the future! They provided pictures of our dog and updates - just couldn’t be better! Thank you for taking care of our fur baby Sophie!”
“Ariel did an awesome job with my 13 month old shih tzu. Her professionalism, care, and attention to details were very much appreciated. She is the best pet sitter in my opinion.”
“Link enjoyed his stay. The videos of him having zoomies don’t lie. Picked him up and he was tuckered. Thank you Curtis, Lindsey and family for treating Link as one of your own. Will definitely book you guys for future times when Link can’t travel with us.”

“Kim did 3 drop-in visits for me this week, for my cat, Oreo. He is usually very timid when it comes to allowing new people near him. But, on day 3 she was able to have a huge breakthrough and get him to come out from hiding during her visit. He played laser and and actually got near her, which is AMAZING! I was thrilled with this breakthrough she had with him, as he usually isn't very friendly with new people. If you need a pet sitter for your pet that will go above and beyond to ensure they're happy and well cared for, give Kim a try!!! She is definitely a pet whisperer! ?”
About: I’ve lived with cats all my life, and felt great connection with them. I understand the space they need and allow them to come on their own terms while allowing their personalities to blossom. I’ve also saved my cat, Raz from the outdoors by staying up late and feeding him every night. I believe every cat deserves a happy home and I hope to make their lives as comfortable as possible.
“Jordan was great with my cat who often takes a while to warm up to people and followed the directions perfectly. Thanks for being so patient with her and I’m glad you both hit it off by the end :) Would request Jordan again any day.”
About: I have had dogs and other small animals for my entire life. Currently have two dogs of my own. A pug and a jack russel/dachshund mix. I watch my friends dogs when they are away. I will treat yours like my own and make sure they are happy and healthy after my visit. Cuddles, kisses, and lots of play time. I have experience with all types of breeds from miniature to large. I also had a dog previously for 12 years who was blind for two, so I have experience with blind dogs as well. You can rest assured that no matter what kind of dog you have and what their needs are, they will be well taken care of. I look forward to meeting your pet(s). I am flexible and can work around most schedules. Let’s chat about your needs. I am more available in evenings and weekends and weekdays during lunch and early mornings. I have a fenced in yard. I have two dogs to keep your babies company as well. When in your home I will take every precaution if you don’t have a fence yourself.
“Kaylee is the best with our kitten and pup. Cats are picky creatures, yet June crawls all over her when she visits. We're comforted to know they are taken care of when we're away.”
“Emily was very reliable and responsive, and great with my cats. She went out of her way to spend time getting to know them and making sure they were happy. I really enjoyed the updates and photos every day.”

“Caleb and Julianna took great care of our cat Dunkin while we were on vacation. He warmed up to them pretty quickly, which is sometimes hard to do. They sent cute pictures and videos every day and did everything I asked of them. They were very kind, attentive, and trustworthy. I will be booking with them again!”
About: My name is Viviana I am 23 years old and I’m currently living at home! I have two beautiful huskies and unfortunately it is too hot during the summer to bring them on my hikes. I love to explore nature in the area and often hike on trials with streams, creeks, and beaches. I also enjoy walking around town and in parks! If you’re looking for a sitter to walk your dog on short calm walks daily or a sitter to walk your dog on long adventurous walks I’m available! I have a very flexible schedule and am often off most afternoons, but I usually am unavailable in the mornings. I also have a free roam bunny so if you ever need a pet sitter for a bunny or any other small animal I have a lot of experience! I also have experience with cats!
“Olivia is an absolute gem! I’m SO lucky she was available, last minute to take care of my two babies! I was in town on vacation but got invited to Desert Hot Springs for the day and didn’t know what to do with the pups! Olivia came by twice, played with them and took them for walks and most of all gave me peace of mind 💖! She sent pics and was so sweet and helpful! I will DEFINITELY rebook next time in town (which is often, coming from SF)!”

About: Loving, Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! With a lifetime of experience around animals, 2 years as a professional dog groomer, and two happy pups of my own, I provide compassionate and reliable care for your furry family members. Whether it's walks, grooming, or just quality time, your pet will feel right at home. As a mom of two animal-loving kids, caring for pets is naturally woven into our daily routine. Whether we’re out for a walk, heading to the park, or spending quiet time at home, animals are always part of the mix. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve—just like family. With us, your pet becomes part of an active, loving environment where they’re never just a task on a to-do list—they're a priority. I care for pets in my client's home the same way I care for my own—by being intentional, flexible, and tuned into their needs. I plan their day around the weather and our household routine to make sure they get the right balance of exercise, rest, and attention. For example, if I know we’ll be out for dinner, I make sure my puppy gets plenty of playtime earlier in the day so he’s relaxed and ready to rest while we’re away. On hot days, I shift our schedule to enjoy cooler morning hours outside before the heat sets in. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with thoughtful adjustments made to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy.
“Lora is trustworthy, kind and experienced when it comes to animal care! I felt comfortable knowing my puppy was being taken care of with so much attention to detail and love. I will be using Lora again!”
“Rodney was great! He listened to my concerns and additional info I provided on my furbaby and put me at ease. My furbaby came home that evening and was tired from all the fun she had. Would definitely recommend.”

About: Let us offer you the peace of mind you need if you're out of town on business, on vacation, or just at the office. We comfort your canine & feline friends during the day, so when you arrive home everyone can begin relaxing right away. We are truly "animal people". No kids, married for over 40 years and living on a small farm in White Hall where we care for our menagerie of 4 legged friends. We know first hand how hard it is to find reliable help to look after our animals and the farm when we need to leave for anything more than a long day. Our alpacas are registered breeding stock and the guineas are for general amusement. But, the cats and dogs are all rescues, receive regular vet care and are fed on a routine schedule. We care deeply about their well being, nurse them like children when they are sick and spend a great deal of time and effort keeping them healthy and happy. We are regulars with our local vet and feed mill and know the area well. Hard work and long days are par for the course for us. Our common sense is well polished and we pay great attention to detail and feel quality communication is key to any relationship. We have been renovating a small farm house for many years, a work in progress as they say. We like to do business in the local community and are now in a position to offer our experience to the pet owners in our area. We are professional without being stuffy and want all animals to enjoy a high quality of life. As a full time photographer, I work in my studio most days and sometimes weekends too. Pets are either with me in the studio, or in the house with us at night. Your dogs join me in the studio on days I am working there, and they'll have one feline companion. I enjoy dogs that are laid back and my husband enjoys energetic dogs. Together with all that goes on at the farm, owners always tell us they are very relaxed when they go home.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’m a mom of twins, a proud rescue dog owner, and a frequent puppy foster. I know how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family — and that’s exactly what I do. Your dog will always get plenty of love, care, and attention while in my hands. I have open availability and a very flexible schedule. My availability starts as early as 9am and remains open throughout the day with a short break from 3pm-5pm. I can also be available to early morning walks upon request. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family! I make sure they have lots of attention, play, and love — plus a cozy place to rest. For visits or walks at a client’s home, I respect your pet’s routines and your space, making sure everything is just the way you like it. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is being well cared for.
“Brianna was a joy to work with. We dropped our pup off in the morning and we were sent photos and updates which was wonderful. I strongly recommend Brianna if you’re looking for an engaged and thoughtful dog sitter. 10/10!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of time for any pet care. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.
“Lindsey is extremely chill and the exact perfect fit for our reactive Kevin. Kevin is excitable but as soon as he sees Lindsey he calms down and is ready for a walk. I highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve been pet/home sitting for 7 years with different families all over Maryland. My goal is to give clients ease and know their pets/home is in good hands! 😊 Since I work in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are free to walk, play, or just keep your fur baby company while you’re away. And with house sitting, I’ll make sure your plants watered, etc. What started out as something I did to help our family and friends has grown to something I thoroughly love to do! While I do not have any pets of my own, I know there is great l responsibility when taking care of animals . My promise is to keep your pets in the safe environments you’ve provided/created for them.
“Jen and Jonathan walked our dog Little Belle twice a day for over an hour each time. Our dog loved them and couldn’t stop wiggling her tail whenever they arrived. They were super reliable and helpful and made this a great experience for all of us. We will definitely book them again!”
“Emily arrived on time and was so friendly and warm greeting Sadie. She definitely provided Sadie a great walk and rewarding experience. I would definitely use Emily again?”
About: I've had a lot of dogs to watch! Every variety of sizes, ages, and breeds. With me, there will never be a dull time! I enjoy playing with them and taking walks with them. I adore getting a pup cup and taking them for vehicle rides! (Of course, if they are permitted to have it). I just want to make them happy because that's how happy they make me! I have a flexible schedule and work mostly from home. I’ll be coming to your home, so your pup gets to stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m usually around during the day, and if I ever need to step out, it’s only for a couple of hours at most. On weekends, I’m fully available and can give your pet plenty of love, walks, and attention. If you have a specific schedule or needs, just let me know in advance, I’m happy to accommodate! I make sure they stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll come by as often as needed for walks, playtime, feeding, and any extra care your pet requires. I love spending time with them, whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toy, or just giving them attention and cuddles. I always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know your furry friend is happy and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was 6, and I can’t imagine life without them! I grew up with small dogs and now share my home with three wonderful cats, including a sweet senior. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for not just cats and dogs, but also mice, rabbits, snakes, and even a duck with no legs named Peggy.

“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”
“The walker was poised, confident and professional. Handled our strong 1.5 y.o pooch handily. Helpful to know he is a dog dad (2) and was able to do a “get acquainted “ meet before the job. We look forward to working with him again!”

“Elizabeth is the BEST! Not only does she look out for our Pups, she looks out for us as well. I asked her if she wouldn’t mind taking the trash to the end of the driveway for me because I forgot to. She is a rockstar and did it for me. So helpful!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. From laid back seniors to high-energy pups who love to play. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I am very available at the moment. I am currently home from college so I am able to do any type of sitting any day of the week, pretty much all day. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their normal schedule. I also take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they get the level of care, companionship, and activity that is best for them.
About: Simply put, I truly LOVE animals. I have always enjoyed spending time with, and playing with pets of all kinds. I will put your pets' needs above my own. I'm currently working full time, but I am usually home when not at work. I live 5 minutes away from my job, so I will always be available for your fur babies even while working if I need to be. I care for pets the same way I would care for a baby. Their needs are always more important than mine, and I will always make time for them. They also get plenty of attention and play time! Please note: I will have to crate them while at work. This is the ONLY time they will be crated. I will also be home around 1:30 for lunch to take your pet out for a potty break.
About: I have always loved dogs and have helped friends and family with dog-sitting whenever needed. I have been a pet parent for over 5 years and am very empathetic to their needs and wants. I currently work 6am-2:30pm Monday-Friday. But I can do walks anytime outside of those hours. As long as you're ok that I wouldn't be there 100% of the time, I'm open to sitting on weekdays as well as weekends. I currently don't have any pets of me own at the moment, but I love to play and cuddle and make sure their needs are covered as well. Please let me know about any specific safety comcerns, so I can make sure I take the best care possible of your furry friend(s).

“This was my first time using a sitter for my fur baby. Rodney and Marissa sent a written update along with pictures. Hachi seemed quite comfortable with them and his new playmates.”
“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”
“We have two English Mastiffs and this was our first experience with Boarding. Our girls have always been watched at home and they’re a big pair of ladies to accommodate, so we were a bit apprehensive. At our meet and greet Heather was fantastic. Her experience shined through; she was easygoing and patiently answered all of our questions. We decided to have a “dress rehearsal” overnight and it was a hit! The girls had a great time, we received loads of pictures and updates and when I arrived for pickup our girls were both relaxing in the den. If our girls were at ease then we’re at ease. We highly recommend Heather.”
“Candace and her family are amazing. There are know other words for them. From the second Shadow was dropped off they loved on him and treated him as their own. I believe they wanted to keep him for good but we had to have our boy back.😊 But let me say this every time we travel if Candace is available Shadow will be staying with her and her family.”
“Lonnie was fantastic with our dog and very accommodating. He has a great yard for dogs to run and play with them and you can certainly help loves having them around. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”
“Lydia was fantastic! She welcomed her home to us with her lovely family including her chickens during our meet and greet. We proceeded to boarding 2 nights with her. Her home provided a warm, cozy and energetic vibe for our Poodle who is out going and craves human interaction. Lydia was not familiar with poodle grooming initially but after a quick demonstration and positive feedback she mastered it in no time. I appreciated her attention to detail, ability to communicate throughout the day and her willingness to learn how to care for specific dog breeds. It was a mutual rewarding experience and she even supervised her children doing obedience training with our pup.”
“Jena was AMAZING! My dog thoroughly enjoyed himself the week he stayed with Jena. She sent lots of pictures throughout his stay and kept in contact with us. I highly recommend her. She also has a very spacious backyard and there was a ton of play time and time outdoors. Cannot recommend her enough. We definitely will be booking with her in the near future.”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“Bingley and his humans couldn't be happier when he gets to stay with Megan, Jake and Duncan. He's thrilled with the attention and activity he gets and we're relaxed knowing that he has the best care possible. We all hit the jackpot.”
“James and Mary are wonderful! They took such great care of Hoosier while we were away and always kept us updated with how he was doing with daily pictures! I felt at ease and was able to relax while on vacation knowing he was in such great hands. Big thank you to them for being so wonderful and looking forward to the next time Hoosier spends some time with James and Mary!”
“Steph couldn’t have been any more perfect for our dog, Remy! It was the first time we left a pet with a non-family member but I felt completely comfortable. Steph even has a doggie-sofa in her living area. I could tell from our first meet and greet that she was in tune with dog behavior. Her dogs are the sweetest hosts too! When we picked up Remy, I could just tell that she had a wonderful weekend. I really appreciate having a reliable, loving place to take Remy when needed.”
“Silvia & Roberto were FABULOUS & I can’t recommend them highly enough - we will DEFINITELY book with them in the future! They provided pictures of our dog and updates - just couldn’t be better! Thank you for taking care of our fur baby Sophie!”
“Link enjoyed his stay. The videos of him having zoomies don’t lie. Picked him up and he was tuckered. Thank you Curtis, Lindsey and family for treating Link as one of your own. Will definitely book you guys for future times when Link can’t travel with us.”
“Christianna did an excellent job caring for Riley. When I returned to pick her up, she was relaxed and calm and did not seem stressed at all. Christiana’s dog, Shamrock, was also the perfect doggie host—such a sweetie. Will use again—highly recommend!”
“Erika was friendly adaptable and kind. Our dog had a very nice stay. Erika sent us a few pictures and sent us periodic updates. We were pleased with her service and hope to use her again.”
“Megan and Vincent treated my dog as if he was their own. They sent me pictures of Reese throughout his stay. I appreciated that so much. Their home is a pet friendly atmosphere and I’d recommend anyone looking for a sitter for their animals to choose these two lovely kind people! I can’t thank you enough!”
“Another excellent experience with Steven! Our large dog stayed the week and came home happy, well exercised, and clean. We appreciate the updates and are always happy with our dog’s stay!”
“Ashley&jerrell was GREAT, it was our 1st time leaving our pup for a couple days and they made it soooo easy, and comfortable for all of us. Too sending us pictures and videos and quick response when we wanted to know how he was doing. Overall just Great 🫶 thank you”
“Chris was absolutely great to our puppy! It was his first time away from us and he was happy and received lots of attention and love. He went on lots of walks and made new friends!!! I would highly recommend her to care for your fur baby.”
