“As always, Lynette & Vincent takes care of my fur baby with the highest regards and he enjoys it so much when he is there every time. They keep me informed the whole time while I was gone on Kuume's status which made me feel so relived to know that he is doing well and having a great time.”

“Latte had a great stay with Monica and her fur babies. This was the first time we left our pet. She has a good process for drop off and getting to know our dog, understanding her needs, feeding, etc. and meeting other dogs. She was very attentive and made sure to communicate and send several pictures each day. We were excited to get our puppy mail and see how Latte was doing. She took great care of our baby. I hope to use her again if I have boarding needs in the future.”

“I'm a returning client. Again I was very happy with the care and attention given to Mojo, and I truly appreciate the peace of mind I had while I was away. Thank you Dee for the excellent service!”

“Kelly and Maurice are more than awesome. I know that Zuri will be well care for and loved when I have to leave town. They treat her like family. They send videos and pics for reassurance that things are going well. I appreciate their professionalism and true dedication. They implemented some changes for their customers based on what they observed from my experience with them. That is more than customer service, that’s customer satisfaction. They are an A1 service all the way around.”

“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”

“I can’t thank Tanita & Terrence enough for taking such great care of my fur baby. He was so sad to leave. I believe Sage had more fun than I did on his weekend getaway 😆”

“Kim cared for my pup as her own. She was very attentive to him and cared about his feelings. This was my pup’s first time with Kim so he was a little nervous. She cared for his every need and made sure he felt loved and comfortable in her care. Kim made sure that my pup had plenty of fresh air and had lots of attention, attention to the point where she slept near him so he would not feel lonesome. My pup was nice and calm when I picked him up which let me know Kim loved on him as I do. I will book again with Kim. Thank you Kim.”

“Vanessa and Giovanni were amazing hosts for my dog, Oakley! They were very thorough in ensuring that she and their family were going to be a good match before the sitting, and I’m very glad they were! We got videos each day detailing how Oakley was doing and she came back so happy and well taken care of. If you love your pet as family, Vanessa and Giovanni are going to treat your baby as such. I would recommend them to anyone!”

“La Tasha always takes care of Ace as if he is her own. I don’t know what I’d ever do if she wasn’t available to watch my Ace. Very caring and loving environment. Love the checkins and updates”

“We had a wonderful experience with our sitter while caring for Archie for 5 days 🐾. From the beginning, communication was consistent, professional, and reassuring. We received updates, photos, and could clearly tell Archie was being well cared for and comfortable during his stay. Archie came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It’s obvious Sabrina genuinely care about the pets she watched and take the responsibility seriously. We truly appreciated the patience, attentiveness, and kindness shown to him throughout the stay. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter for their pet.”


“Brian and Carly treat my little guy like family. I am so greatful for the love and care my little guy receives. They are simply wonderful and I’m do happy I found them.”

“Another great stay! This time much longer! Toni was absolutely amazing with my fur baby, Sunny. The communication and pictures sent throughout his stay gave me peace of mind while on vacation. I would rebook again and again without a doubt.”

“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Lilian was so kind and welcoming! I loved that she kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. She took such great care of my puppy Nova over the weekend. Nova had so much fun running around she came home and went to bed 😂. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!”

“I can’t recommend Zulu enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was so attentive and sent updates, making sure my furry baby felt happy and comfortable the entire time. I’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time I need a sitter.”

“Dana is awesome. She attended to my fur babies as if they were own. She sent me updates and videos everyday, twice a day. My furbabies definitely enjoyed themselves! I will definitely be rebooking in the future and sending others her way!”

“Jackalyn was awesome. I was really anxious but she gave me peace of mind. Sent daily updates and pics which helped me out since I knew everything was good with Yuki while I was gone! Would absolutely recommend her.”

Cat caregivers near you - Ashbox
About: I've been around animals for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I raised a kitten who grew into a happy, healthy cat and cared for her for over three years. My family also has two dogs, a Pit Bull and a Pit Bull/Bully mix, and we've had them for over six years. Being responsible for their care has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I have experience caring for both kittens and puppies since I helped raise the pets I've owned from a young age. I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes and breeds and am not intimidated by larger dogs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. As a pet sitter, I will provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I will treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. I'm currently away from college for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. As a student-athlete, I'm used to being responsible, active, and managing my time well. When I'm not on the soccer field, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or overnight care, I can provide reliable and attentive care throughout the week. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm experienced with both cats and dogs, including large breeds, and I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and creating a calm, trustworthy environment. I will treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect that I give my own. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Destiny was on time, provided details about her care of my Fancee and pictures. I really appreciate how she handled Fancee with her minor leg injury and just how professional she was. I look forward to working with her again.”


“Aleyah was good with our two senior cats. She was always prompt and made a point to come by before her first visit to meet them. She is always super prompt with communication and scheduling.”


“Lindsay cared for our 6 cats this past weekend and exceeded our expectations! She was incredibly kind and communicative throughout the whole process. We know our pets were thoroughly cared for and we will definitely book with her again!”


“Meeka was wonderful in taking care of our two boys while we were out of town for an extended period of time! They were shy at first, but Meeka made sure that they were fed and well taken care of. 💜✨”

“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”

“Steve was wonderful! He made sure our boys we're taken care of and took the time to write great notes about his visits. I could tell that he is a lover of all animals and would not hesitate to book him again. 5 stars!”

“Max was awesome! The perfect person to care for our kitty while we were away. He let us know when she was having a few issues, kept us updated with texts and pictures, and made sure our kitty had the best time possible while we were a way. Polite and courteous, great with our kitty.”

“Nel was wonderful with our kitties while we were away for several long weekends. She provided lots of updates, pics, and was easy to get in touch with. We could tell she cared and even got our shy cats to warm up to her and play and take treats from her. :) would book again with Nel!”


About: Cats are animals I’ve always wanted to take care of and be friends with. I’ve learned that they are animals that really do expect the utmost respect and attention, which I both love and admire. They 100% know their worth and that’s very admirable. I haven’t pet sit cats before, but I’ve been to a lot of cat cuddling places, cat cafes, and cat shelters that it’s to the point where I’d love to pet sit, do drop ins, etc to help out and get to learn more about the different personalities of cats.
“She was amazing with our kitties and was very responsive. I was abroad for two whole weeks and she kept me up-to-date with photos and explanations of which cats she was able to see and what hiding spots she was able to discover and even got a chance to sit with our Most scariest of scaredy-cats. She was very diligent at cleaning up after all of our kitties as well and it was a huge relief to be able to trust her with our home could not recommend more.”

“Amanda was wonderful! My two cats, who are normally shy, warmed up to her within a day or so, and were well taken care of while I was away. Amanda was very communicative throughout the week of her drop-ins, and was also respectful of my home. I felt that my babies were in good hands. Thank you, Amanda!”

About: I've been in veterinary medicine for 12 years. I am comfortable around all pets, no matter the breed or personality. I have two giant breed diggitys and I understand how hard it is to find safe care for your fur babies. We live in a noise free environment , zero cars, zero sirens etc. I am fear free certified and can handle nervous nellies and their needs very well. I'm currently working remotely and homeschool. The house is full of good energy. Since we have children and other pets/animals we are up as early as 5am in the morning and last walks are around 8p. If it is a weekend and we are staying up later in the night than walks could be as late as 10pm. It does depend on the pet also. My dogs are pet friendly however because of their size some other dogs don't take to them. My personal dogs have their own room and crate. We have multiple free spaces for up to 10 dogs small and or 5 dogs small/medium large. We live on 73 acres with 4 hiking trails. The dogs and ducks definitely get their exercise. If you have a senior pet or a pet that does better away from children or other pets, we can accommodate that as well. I am currently working remotely with some days in clinic. Between myself and my nephew someone is always home. We also homeschool so the house is always active. We have tons of space so if your pet doesn't do well with "active" we can accommodate that as well. With all the land and space we can easily go on 4-5 mile scenic walks. We can also let dogs who have name recall roam free (supervised). We live on 73 acres, very secluded. Our noise level is zero. There aren't cars driving by, sirens etc. We have a few hiking trails that have been cleared. We also have a room specific for dog sitting in our home. We can make it feel like home or have the approach of a normal boarder. We do ask that all pets are at minimum rabies vaccinated. This is the only vaccine legally required in the state of Maryland. We also ask that for boarding , you provide a favorite toy and t-shirt to help minimize anxiety and stress. We have calming plug ins in certain areas of the house to help decrease anxiety as well.

“I had a last minute event come up and needed a next day sitter for Coco. Roxsand was very accommodating though it was last minute. She adjusted her schedule for us even though I was at her house at 6am. Roxsand also sent several photos of Coco throughout the day. I'm very appreciative of her time, care and professionalism and Coco looks forward to coming back very soon for more fun! Thank you!”

Treat time is always a highlight, and in the evening, we wind down with a final walk before tucking your pup into bed with soothing music for a peaceful night’s sleep. If your dog is more of a lounger and loves to relax while watching TV, we’re happy to accommodate their favorite pastimes, too! Your dog becomes part of our routine—and part of our family.
“Saniyya was responsive and flexible! I was a little late picking up & she was helpful. Appreciate her help & would use again! Day care end time posted was a little off ( actually at 540p not 6p) but overall satisfied! Thank you Saniyya”

“Thank you for making Scout welcome. When I picked him up each day, he was relaxed, and when I dropped him off in the morning, his tail was wagging. It makes my work day comfortable to know Scout is in good hands!!! Thank you,”
“Latoya was soooo sweet and accommodating. This was my first time leaving my new fur baby with anyone for the work day, and from the moment we arrived we both felt right at home. Star did not want to leave! Thank you so much again Latoya, I can't wait for Star to come back and spend time with you all. <3”

About: I’m 100% work-from-home, so your dog is never left alone or unattended. I have a flexible, non-taxing job that allows me to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day—from walks and playtime to cuddles and potty breaks. I’ve raised my own dog from 3 months old to now 2 years old, so I’m experienced with puppy care, routines, socialization, and positive reinforcement. I’m also patient and attentive, which makes me great with senior dogs or dogs that need a calm, loving environment. I truly love dogs and treat every one like my own. I pay close attention to their energy levels, comfort, and routines, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I also provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and stick to their established routines. I provide reliable walks, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions needed. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication.

“English has been amazing since day 1. Such a beautiful spirit. English is very attentive and sure to meet whatever your fur babies needs are. She is very responsive should you have any questions and keeps you updated at all times. And has been super flexible. Izzy has found her a new best friend 🧡. I couldn't be happier”


“I only have great things to say about Linda! She has been incredibly helpful and has gone above and beyond. She is incredibly flexible, has come to walk my dogs at various hours of the day (late evenings sometimes too, which has been great!), and has been available on short notice as well. I have 3 dogs, of which, two have health issues. One has had recent ortho surgery and requires a lot of assistance/medication. The other has heart/blood pressure issues and requires medication/supervision as well. The third does not have health issues, but has behavioral issues and is very stand offish. Despite this, Linda has not only taken great care of them, but the dogs love her! She has also brought in my trash cans, my mail, and picks up dirty dog food bowls to soak in the sink while I am away. She always keeps me updated with detailed messages and photos. She is gentle and great with the animals. I trust her 100% and that is saying a lot as I am VERY particular when it comes to my babies!”

“Steven is fantastic. I had a family emergency and the person who normally walked Tully was unavailable. Contacted Steve and he came right away for a meet and greet. My dog is a rescue so he doesn’t always do well with strangers but he was so happy with Steve right away. Steve asked if he could take Tully on a short introductory walk to make sure they were a good match which made me much more comfortable. Definitely would recommend Steve! Amazing with both families and fur babies!”

About: I LOVE dogs. I have always loves dogs and dogs have always loved me (not trying to toot my horn, lol). I have older kids in the house ages 14-19 who love dogs as much as I do. There will be no lack of attention given to your fur baby. I do work during the week. I have my mom who lives with us that is home everyday and my 19yr old daughter who is home from collage for the summer that is very excited to be my partner. I live in a single family home with a fenced in backyard. We have a 2yr old Goldendoodle who is great with other dogs and can keep you fur baby company.

About: I grew up with many pets. For example, I’ve had 6 birds, 3 hamsters, 1 dwarf gerbil, 1 leopard gecko, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and possibly more. I currently have 2 dogs. Both are rescues. Jasper is 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was about a month old if even that, and Raleigh who is 7 now. I’ve had her since she was 2. Aside from the doggy babies, I also currently have a brown anole that I took in from Florida. His name is Tommy and I’ve had him for 4 months now. He was a baby when I found him. I also have 2 fish, Gumball and Penny. I personally believe all animals are babies. I’ve also pet sit for family members before. I’m currently working part time and I’m not yet in school. I do have a lot of free time, and because I don’t live alone I have people home to help take care of my furry and scaled friends, where as some people may need some extra help that I’d be able to provide! I was raised right. I’m respectful, do not cross boundaries, and know better than to disrespect clients (human and animal, of course!) I’m a big empath, I love animals beyond comprehension. I’m a vegetarian that’s working my way to veganism if that can show you how empathetic I am. I also cry while watching Ratatouille. I love walking, I love talking to animals, I treat animals as if they are literal babies because they are just too cute!
“Trina has been amazing with Nugget who is NOT a fan of walking. She has been resourceful to ensure he gets the most out of his walks. She is on time, communicative and provides a thorough report after each walk.”

“Caryn was so professional and kind. Our dog is very stubborn and strong, and she handled him so well. She also did walks during one of the coldest weeks of the year without compliant. I am so lucky to have her take care of our Buddy. Highly recommend!”


“Corissa is amazing! She made sure Bentley was happy and was super personable. She went out of her way to have a meeting with me before we booked it and made Bentleys safety a top priority.”
“I appreciate Lillian for being reliable for taking care of my rover dog. She arrived on time to walk Edie on a holiday evening, followed instructions for dog care, took a couple of photos, and issued a rover report on Edie’s activities. I would recommend her service and we rebook her when needed.”

About: I have experience having my own puppy when me and my husband adopted our German shepherd was at 11 weeks old. He is now 8 months old and 85 lbs along with my neighbors dog that is a 100+ lbs cane corso that’s 10 months old. I have experience with big dogs and other sizes of dogs with temperaments. I am accustomed to walking 6-8 dogs a day regardless of their energy and I love it. I am more than open for boarding as I have had a cane corso and a German in one household with no issues along with my husband helping me to make it fun. I work in childcare and when I get off work I have more than enough time to walk people’s dogs. I love walking dogs so much I tend to lose track of time and get home late. I have a lot of patience taking care of my dog and other people’s dog and follow the owners instructions accordingly. I make sure to ask for consent before making any decisions and ask questions ahead of time in case there is any unforeseen circumstances. I keep open communication with the owners as well as keeping them up to date of how their dogs are doing. My husband and I love taking turns caring for our dog as we play fetch and walk to mix things up to keep them stimulated.

We can make it feel like home or have the approach of a normal boarder. We do ask that all pets are at minimum rabies vaccinated. This is the only vaccine legally required in the state of Maryland. We also ask that for boarding , you provide a favorite toy and t-shirt to help minimize anxiety and stress. We have calming plug ins in certain areas of the house to help decrease anxiety as well.

“I'm a returning client. Again I was very happy with the care and attention given to Mojo, and I truly appreciate the peace of mind I had while I was away. Thank you Dee for the excellent service!”

“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”

“I can’t thank Tanita & Terrence enough for taking such great care of my fur baby. He was so sad to leave. I believe Sage had more fun than I did on his weekend getaway 😆”

““Aaron and Tia were an absolute blessing to my family! They provided truly 5-star service from start to finish. Their communication was excellent, and they were always quick to respond while I was inquiring about their services, which gave me complete peace of mind. They took such great care of our dog that I even referred another family member’s dog to them, and they cared for both dogs during the same time period. Going forward, Aaron and Tia will be our family’s go-to dog sitters, and I will happily recommend them to friends and family. Thank you both for the exceptional care and professionalism!””
“Kim cared for my pup as her own. She was very attentive to him and cared about his feelings. This was my pup’s first time with Kim so he was a little nervous. She cared for his every need and made sure he felt loved and comfortable in her care. Kim made sure that my pup had plenty of fresh air and had lots of attention, attention to the point where she slept near him so he would not feel lonesome. My pup was nice and calm when I picked him up which let me know Kim loved on him as I do. I will book again with Kim. Thank you Kim.”

“Vanessa and Giovanni were amazing hosts for my dog, Oakley! They were very thorough in ensuring that she and their family were going to be a good match before the sitting, and I’m very glad they were! We got videos each day detailing how Oakley was doing and she came back so happy and well taken care of. If you love your pet as family, Vanessa and Giovanni are going to treat your baby as such. I would recommend them to anyone!”

“Donna is a true dog lover. It was evident to us from our meet and greet that she is familiar with dog behavior and has the temperament to deal with different types of dogs. She was very warm and loving to our dog, got to know him and cared for him accordingly. We were kept abreast of what was going on with him every day of the 10 days that we were away and felt totally comfortable with her. We will definitely board our dog with her again.”

“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”

“Lashelle was a great person to watch over my dog. She provided me with daily updates and pictures of his visit. Through updates, I was able to view the love and care given to my dog while I was away. I will definitely seek to work with her again.”


“Brian and Carly treat my little guy like family. I am so greatful for the love and care my little guy receives. They are simply wonderful and I’m do happy I found them.”

“Emmanuel has been day boarding my family dog and my mom and sister raved about how amazing he was! So in a hectic situation, he was immediately who I chose. Emmanuel was absolutely incredible - I booked him for a long stay at the very last minute and he was accommodating and kind every step of the way. He gave me lots of daily updates on my pup and he has such an incredible home with a large backyard so pups can run and play :) my pup was so happy to be with Emmanuel and he also is very attentive to each animal in his care. He noticed some hot spots and sent them to me instantly and offered potential solutions. Theo absolutely adores him and I would absolutely book again in a heartbeat! If you want to have peace of mind that your pup is being fully taken care of, loved, and paid attention to, bring them to Emmanuel! Thank you so much, Emmanuel!!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”

“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Fitz had a wonderful time with Melonie. We found a 2nd home for him and i will truly have a more enjoyable trip knowing Fitz is staying with a wonderful family.”

“Lilian was so kind and welcoming! I loved that she kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. She took such great care of my puppy Nova over the weekend. Nova had so much fun running around she came home and went to bed 😂. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!”

“BLUF: My dog came home happy and exhausted. I'd use Cameron again in a heartbeat! Drake (75-lb lab) had the time of his life over an extended weekend with Cameron. Cameron came to our rescue when our existing weekend plans fell through. Her dog Cherry, a Sheepadoodle, is his new BFF. Cameron had another dog staying with her as well, and the 3 of them made a very active pack. Based on his step count, he didn't stop running around the entire time! Cameron has a fenced back yard on a quiet street. Dogs are allowed on the furniture (my dog prefers to sleep on the couch, so this was important). Cherry is a wonderful host as well, and an absolute doll.”

“I was very pleased with the care my fur babies received from Nick and Cici. I got updates and photos of them and I could see how comfortable they were in their home. It made me feel good to leave them and I know I will let them stay again! My babies were treated like they were a part of a new loving family environment and that warms my heart.”

“Jackalyn was awesome. I was really anxious but she gave me peace of mind. Sent daily updates and pics which helped me out since I knew everything was good with Yuki while I was gone! Would absolutely recommend her.”
