“Jennifer was amazing! She sent me daily pictures so I could see Nyx on walks, cuddling, or playing. I use Rover because I like the indivualized attention and updates, and Jennifer did great. She was flexible with drop off and pickup times, too!”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Nat & Ally were excellent with my girl. They were very accepting when I needed to change the dates several times. They sent lots of pictures so I could see my girl and how comfortable she was, particularly during a thunderstorm which she hates. I will definitely be booking with them in the future!”
“My pups had a great time with Adrienne, who accommodated us last minute. Our pups are high anxiety and they settled in quickly and happily for a couple of nights at her place. She’s great about providing the amount of updates you feel comfortable with, and was thoughtful with how she prepared for their stay. I would definitely recommend!”
“Lucy was well taken care of at Renee's. I had peace of mind while I was away and Renee communicated when she needed advice about Lucy. I would recommend Renee for anyone needing a place their dog.”
“Khola stay with Chrissy was a great experience for her being around other dogs. Chrissy was a great sitter. She was very patient with Khola she kept me updated with Texas as well as pictures. I will highly recommend Chrissy for anyone who has a dog that has not been left with other dogs before Chrissy is very patient and lovable.”
“Kacy and Justin took excellent care of our anxious senior dog and kept us throughly updated with pictures. Will definitely keep them as one of our go to options for boarding.”
“I couldn't be happier with the level of care Linda and her family provided to my senior yellow lab! She provided regular updates while I was away and knew exactly how to best care for a senior lab. Don't hesitate to ask Linda to take care of your pup! You'll be happy you did!”
“Priscila and her mom were awesome! They were super friendly and sweet with the dogs. And they would frequently send pictures of the dogs to us letting us know they were enjoying their stay. We would definitely recommend them. Thank you!”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“Wow! My family and I felt and knew we left our pups in great hands with Michelle. She sent daily updates and photos. One photo looked like my dog was literally smiling. I would book again in a heartbeat with Michelle!”
“Olivia is amazing! She was taking care of our dog for the first time and we are so happy we found her! Our dog is pretty scared around new people but he had a really good time with Olivia. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and it was clear he was happy and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“This was our puppy’s second time staying overnight with Rachel and Jason, and we couldn’t be happier. They send pictures and updates, which brings us so much peace of mind while we’re away. They give him so much love, and it’s clear he has the best time with them. We will definitely be back and can’t recommend them enough!”
“I left my baby girl for a week with John and they were the best. They really took a great care of my baby and gave constant updates with pictures and videos. They answered any questions I had. I could enjoy my vacation cause I could trust them with coco. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Our pup had a great time with Rene! She gave us the most adorable updates with pictures of all of the fun he was having. We will definitely not hesitate to use her again!”
“We had a great experience with Nicole taking care of our pug, Memo, for about a week. She was super nice and easy to work with from the start. From the meet and greet, we knew Memo was going to love her. She kept us updated every day on how Memo was doing, and we really like the photos and videos she sent. It really made it a lot easier being away from him. You could tell right away that Memo was comfortable and happy with her and her husband. They treated him like their own and made sure he got plenty of attention and walks. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.”
“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”
About: Have 10+ years of veterinary care experience in both VA & MD to include puppy care (kennel & potty training…) and senior dogs care (medications, ear & eye care…). Have owned and cared for over 15 pets in my lifetime to include my last shih-tzu who live to 20 years old. Additionally, my husband and I have been the go-to godparents & babysitters for all friends & family pets. Both my husband & I have recently retired and I am looking to fill our time with taking care of and loving your fur baby instead of getting a puppy of our own. We are home all day so would be available for non-stop love & attention for all types of fur babies. Ideal for babies of ALL ages including pups & older dogs for the special time and care they need such as frequent potty breaks. I have years of experience with puppy training and senior dog care to include dispensing of medication and basic eye, ear, etc care. Hope you will allow us to love on your baby while you are away. Since we are home all day, any and all special needs will be taken care of for your fur baby. We have a great fenced in backyard as well as parks near by for walks as needed.
“We were looking for a sitter on short notice, and Rachel was very accommodating; facilitating a meet and greet right away. We absolutely loved Oliver, and him and Lana got along right away. Lana had a great weekend away, and we could not be happier. Lots of updates on our trip, many many cute photos. Absolutely would recommend.”
“Karen was amazing with Jazzy! Our dog has significant separation anxiety, but Karen immediately understood her needs and knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable and secure. The farmland is a huge plus offering plenty of safe, private space for dogs to play and explore. Best of all, Karen and her family treated Jazzy like one of their own. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur baby was so well cared for, and we're incredibly grateful to have found a sitter we trust. The ample pictures and videos were an added bonus! We'll definitely be back again and again!”

Definitely recommend Jenny for any pet care, we could tell right away how great she is with animals!!”

“Shelby has been so thoughtful and so caring while taking care of my two cats. She is very communicative, which I love from a pet sitter, because I treat my cats like my children. She shared feedback about my cat’s behavior, appetite, and sent photos too. I will definitely be requesting her assistance with drop in visits in the future!”

She’s wonderful…oh and she is taking care of our baby monarch caterpillars and chrysalis… The best pet sitter! Wouldn’t trust our lovies with anyone else!”
“Jess was wonderful with my little Aussie — she was patient when taking her for a walk and made sure she could romp around our yard, but also made sure her paws were clean when she came in. She also made sure to check in on our other animals to make sure everyone had what they needed. Looking forward to continuing to work with Jess.”

I will definitely re-book Alana next time I leave town.”

About: Hello! I love pets of all shapes and sizes. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I worked in a kennel in a veterinary hospital for two years. My jobs there were walking, feeding, bathing, cutting nails, expressing anal galands, giving medication, and most importantly ensuring the pets were safe and comfortable. I have a lot of experience with dogs of all different shapes and sizes from this previous job. I recently had my dog of 13 years pass away from cancer. He required a lot of attention and care which I feel I now specialize in. I am full of love and care for any puppy sent my way and I’m thrilled to be a part of this app. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to not only care for your pets and their needs but also ensure they are comfortable, happy, and loved.
About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years. I'm experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and everything in between, including any dog size petite to massive! I can administer medicine as well. We have a home about 4 blocks from Baker Park in a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks, and we have a fully fenced in backyard as well. I work from home M-F 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. Occasionally I may step out for dinner with my wife or friends. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. My schedule is fairly flexible during working hours, so I can take our furry friend out for many breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
“Alex and Christina were amazing with Bucky. We booked them last minute and they were so accommodating! They gave me regular updates the whole time he was with them - photos and videos. Bucky has separation anxiety so it was a huge relief to have him with people who know so much about dogs and could take such great care of him. The next time we’re having a night out in Frederick we will definitely book them again!!”
About: my goal is to provide the best pet, dog and cat sitting service. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding your cat or talking to your bird as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving details of caring for your cats, dogs, birds and even chickens! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one Asheville cat owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my cats as well as I do after a few short days.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I love animals, as they are the most loving and authentic little beings. I’ve always had dogs and have taken care of family/friends/neighbors’ dogs when needed. I offer boarding, walks, a fenced in yard and socialization with my children and my own pets. Your pup will be in good hands and loved! My household always has an adult home for walks or ability to go out in the yard at anytime. We pop in and out on sports practice days in the evenings and for games on the weekends. Never more than 2 hours at a time. I have a large fenced in yard, can crate your pup and can offer walks, the ability to sit or lay on furniture, socialization for my kids, and socialization for my dog and other pets

“So happy we have Samantha walking our Siberian Husky several days a week. She is so pleasant, poised, punctual and professional. Merida is very much enjoying Samantha's company!”
“Maureen was impeccable, as always. She walked Bruiser, fed her according to my painfully detailed instructions, and gave her eye drops and pill medication. I was out of town for a week and needed Maureen to help out - when I came home it was like my dog didn't even notice I had left because Maureen made her feel so at home and cared for.”
“Connie is always in tune with needs of our dogs! Last night she has to calm them during a trying episode in the storm & did an outstanding job! Thank you Connie!!”
“Lauren was a pleasure to work with and having her help was greatly appreciated and our pups enjoyed her visiting ! She's very responsive and takes in feedback very well! I would recommend her to others.”
“Adrienne is thoughtful and caring and very very good at communicating. This is my 3rd time leaving my dog (a somewhat demanding pug) in her care. It will certainly not be our last.”

“Dominique is absolutely amazing with my dog Scarlet. From our initial meet and greet and all of her time and questions about my dog's specific needs, I knew she was a really caring and experienced dog handler. She knows my dog (unfortunately) loves to eat things off the ground and has to be watched liked a toddler, so she's incredibly attentive (and patient) with Scarlet. Would give Dominique 10 stars if I could and grateful to have her walking Scarlet on a weekly basis!”
“Chrissy was great with my pup. She's an energetic 7 month old lab, and she did great with Chrissy. Thank you! Fast communication, reliable, on-time. We'll be using Chrissy again!”

About: My whole life we had cats and dogs. I have house sat for neighbors and friends with pets since I was ten years old. I currently own a rabbit. I have also cared for all kinds of rodents, fish, and reptiles. I have trained puppies and kittens and a bunny. I also cared for my older dachshund and gave him shots and necessary medications. I work part time teaching yoga throughout the week and have lots of availability. I only have custody of my kids every other week making my week without them a great time for extra hours and house sitting. I keep pets from being hungry, thirsty, or bored. I keep pets nicely groomed and their areas and things nicely cleaned. I offer direct focus and affection. I can walk or run with dogs. I love doing yoga on the floor and watching cats or my rabbit climb all over me and get affection.
About: Hi! My name is Coreen, but I go by Cory, and my family has always had pets of one kind or another for my entire life. There has always been at least one dog, explains why I'm a "dog person", but there have also been cats, fish, snakes, birds, and even a lizard or two. I currently have 2 little dogs, Tinkerbell and Miss Pickles, and my two humans (my husband and son). My son often accompanies me when I do walks or visits, he is 20, high functioning autistic, and LOVES dogs. He can look at your dog and tell you what breed (or mix of breeds) he or she is, what that breed was originally intended for, any health issues the breed is known for...he's basically a walking dog encyclopedia! He has also recently completed an animal care course, including certification in animal CPR, through the state of Maryland. We would love to meet you and get to know you and your four legged family members!!! I currently work 3 days a week, my son helps if there are days during your desire time frame that I have to go into work. I usually do not care for animals in my home, due to the fact that I do not currently have the set up necessary to do so.

“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care.

“I couldn't be happier with the level of care Linda and her family provided to my senior yellow lab! She provided regular updates while I was away and knew exactly how to best care for a senior lab. Don't hesitate to ask Linda to take care of your pup! You'll be happy you did!”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“Olivia is amazing! She was taking care of our dog for the first time and we are so happy we found her! Our dog is pretty scared around new people but he had a really good time with Olivia. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and it was clear he was happy and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“We had a great experience with Nicole taking care of our pug, Memo, for about a week. She was super nice and easy to work with from the start. From the meet and greet, we knew Memo was going to love her. She kept us updated every day on how Memo was doing, and we really like the photos and videos she sent. It really made it a lot easier being away from him. You could tell right away that Memo was comfortable and happy with her and her husband. They treated him like their own and made sure he got plenty of attention and walks. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.”
“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”
“We were looking for a sitter on short notice, and Rachel was very accommodating; facilitating a meet and greet right away. We absolutely loved Oliver, and him and Lana got along right away. Lana had a great weekend away, and we could not be happier. Lots of updates on our trip, many many cute photos. Absolutely would recommend.”
“Karen was amazing with Jazzy! Our dog has significant separation anxiety, but Karen immediately understood her needs and knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable and secure. The farmland is a huge plus offering plenty of safe, private space for dogs to play and explore. Best of all, Karen and her family treated Jazzy like one of their own. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur baby was so well cared for, and we're incredibly grateful to have found a sitter we trust. The ample pictures and videos were an added bonus! We'll definitely be back again and again!”
“It was obvious that Sakura spent her time being showered with love and attention. Beautiful home and really friendly house dog made Sakura feel like she was part of the family. Now I have two different families where Sakura feels like she’s a member, next trip it’ll be hard to choose who she stays with.”
“Victoria is exactly the type of person that you hope would be on this app. She was very communicative and easy to work with. I was completely confident that my babies would be safe with her and didn’t worry about anything. I’m beyond grateful that she accepted my boarding request. Thanks for taking care of my furry babies.”
“Kathleen and her family were great! They always take good care of our Blue and the girls are so loving with her! We love getting our daily updates and they made sure to let us know if there was anything going on with our girl. They were super flexible when we were delayed with our flight which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely use them again, thanks Kathleen!!”
“Marne and her family were fantastic with our dog! It was a long stay (2+ weeks), over Christmas, and we missed him a lot. But Marne sent daily updates and silly pictures of how much fun our dog was having with her dog (and how comfy he was stretched out on her couch!) and we were confident he was being well cared for. Santa even left a few surprises for him just as if he were part of the family ❤️ They have a nice yard and clearly spent lots of time playing with the dogs. Thanks for everything, Marne! Would 100% rebook with her!!”
“5/5 Stars – Exceptional Care for Bella! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our sweet Bella during our trip. Dorian was great, responsive from the start, and he sent updates as soon as possible when I requested. Bella came home happy and relaxed. We definitely will book with him again in the future. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Dorian is your person, we highly recommend!”
About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years. I'm experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and everything in between, including any dog size petite to massive! I can administer medicine as well. We have a home about 4 blocks from Baker Park in a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks, and we have a fully fenced in backyard as well. I work from home M-F 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. Occasionally I may step out for dinner with my wife or friends. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. My schedule is fairly flexible during working hours, so I can take our furry friend out for many breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
About: I believe in offering dog boarding at affordable rates and want my clients to book with me with the confidence that their dog will be welcomed into our family and cared for like they were our own (who we looove. A lot!). If your dog wants to join in on our active routine, they'll get a 1-1.5 mile walk in the morning, an early afternoon free-play romp in the securely fenced yard, another 1-1.5 mile walk around dinner time, and then hanging with the family in the evening. And I am happy to accommodate any of your preferences for their care! I work from home and am able to spend quality time with the dogs throughout the day. The dogs I care for fit into our family routine, which is active and close-knit. I have a fenced yard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play, and I have two Australian Shepherds who just love having a pack. Mine sleep in crates overnight and are fed separately. They are also happy to share their toys to help keep your dog occupied!
