“Thanks so much to Reynaldo who was so accommodating when we needed immediate care for our cats during an out of town medical trip.

Thanks again, Reynaldo, and we look forward to working with you again.”
“Nautica was an excellent host for my busy little boy. She kept them an extra day because we've been having brownouts in my neighborhood. She even dropped him off and picked him up. I knew he was going to be spoiled rotten after enjoying a long weekend with the backyard. I will be using her again”

I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.

“Alyssa was terrific and I would absolutely have her watch our dog again. Our dog is very smart and sensitive and takes time to get to know people. Therefore, I was very concerned about having someone do drop ins while I was away, because our dog is not used to that. Alyssa was very attentive and instinctively understood what our dog needed, and made the whole experience comfortable. She is polite, kind, and a pleasure to talk with. Thank you, Alyssa!!”
“Ivan was very responsible in taking care of our cat, Mackerel, while we were away. He gave us some much appreciated peace of mind. Our kitty, who is rather skittish, warmed up to him quite quickly, and we enjoyed his recaps after each visit.”
“Alexis was fantastic! At the last minute, our previously booked Rover sitter canceled before our two week trip and Alexis stepped in. Our cat, Max, was very well cared for and Alexis communicated wonderfully. All instructions were followed and Alexis even regularly gave Max a treat, something we had mentioned in passing but wasn’t required - so thoughtful! We felt such relief having Alexis care for Max - their attention to detail was perfect!”
“Ana did such a wonderful job with my dogs when they had to take medications, had an upset stomach or itching issues. She sent me photos and videos which really lifted my spirits. Ana is very attentive and asks about how you would like things done in your home. I have two small dogs and would recommend her. My two dogs have different personalities and she was great at helping them each at their own pace.”
“Annie took great care of my cat while I was away! She sent daily updates and photos, and my cat clearly enjoyed her snuggles! Will definitely book Annie again in the future.”
“SJ was fantastic! They took such good care of our cats while we were out of town. Very responsive, caring and responsible, we will definitely be using SJ again!”
“Sarah has been fantastic with our anxious dog. Leo doesn't normally go up to anyone, even if they offer treats. Sarah seems to have won our dog's trust. She even bakes homemade dog treats to gain Leo’s trust and slowly and with lots of patience she is accomplishing the visits with Leo. We are greatly appreciative of all her work. I highly recommend Sarah as a pet sitter. Thank you Sarah!.”
“I was away for a few weeks and she made sure to keep me updated with check ins. It was my first time using the app and she pretty much helped me navigate it as well. Definitely very helpful and took some stress off of my family. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Marissa is great! She’s responsive, personable, flexible, and conscientious. She brought in the mail and changed the lighting in the house after each visit without us even thinking to ask. Both our cats need medications and have different feeding requirements and she manages that with ease. Thanks for the great care, as always!”
“Joshuah was great with my furry girls. In addition, he took it upon himself to do things around the house that were a big help, but not requested. I would recommend him any time.”
“Juliet was amazing! She accommodated my last minute booking and took great care of Bao while I was away. She’s very responsive, and very easy to communicate with. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Lisa did such a great job watching our two cats while we were on vacation! My husband and I loved seeing the photos and daily video of Lisa’s drop-ins. Even our timid cat was coming out to play by the second day of our trip. Our house looked great and the cats were very happy when we got home. I’ll definitely rebook and would recommend Lisa!”
“Asia took care of my cat Amora for a few days. I booked a little last minute, but communication was smooth the whole time. She sent me regular updates and was super understanding when I ran a bit late. My cat was in good hands, she’s a great sitter!”
“Maria is amazing. My cats are shy, but by the second day they were asking for pets and scratches. I received daily updates on what was going on (snacks, puzzles) and some really great photos. I will definitely book her again and so should you!”
“We were so lucky to meet Imani! She is absolutely the best. Our cat loved her from the first minute he met her. She is most responsible, knowledgeable, professional, kind, and sweet person. I was very nervous about how our cat would handle his first time away from us and she put my mind at ease and made us very comfortable. We are most grateful.”
“Ned is fantastic and our normally quite cautious cats warmed to him very quickly. He took his time to make them feel safe. He documented every visit in great detail and we were glad to know they were in good hands while we were away. Ned even let them out on a leash. Could not be happier or more grateful!”
“Bito was an absolute saint with our two boys. Nothing felt rushed and Bito truly spend quality time with them while we were away. Thank you for everything.”
“Courtney, did a wonderful job with our boys. We have a shy cat and he took right to her. She sent regular pictures and did regular check-in’s. We feel lucky to have found her. She made our vacation much less stressful. We will definitely use her again or you recommend everybody else use her except if we need her at that time. 😉”

About: With 15 years of pet ownership, I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and communicative. I'm a pet owner too, so I know how important it is to stick to your pet's routine and send plenty of updates so you can relax. As a graduate student, I have a very flexible schedule. My campus is only a 10-minute drive away, which means I can easily come home to check on your pet every 2-4 hours, or as often as needed. My neighborhood has plenty of green spaces and safe areas, perfect for long walks and playtime. My home features a secure, fenced-in backyard with plenty of grass, giving your pet a safe space to play and take comfortable potty breaks. I have a friendly, 5-year-old Siberian Husky who loves making new friends. For everyone's safety, he is neutered and kept completely up-to-date on all vaccinations and routine care. I also have an XL dog crate available for your dog's use if that is part of their normal routine.
About: Owner of one sweet large dog and two cats. More than 10 years of experience taking care of animals. Graduate student with flexible schedules and lots of love for many fur babies. My parents are with me right now so extra hands on deck and almost companion all day for your pets. I’m a graduate student with flexible schedules. I enjoy playing and walking with animals for relaxation. I live in a neighborhood that’s very great for dog walking. I have a fenced yard, very friendly dog and cats. Enough space indoors for playing too. I have a car hammock for dog to sit comfortably in the back seat and seatbelt for them, if we need to go take a ride.
“Poppy gets excited to get to Crissy's house and enjoys her time with Dublin. Crissy is flexible on timing when I've bumped into conflicts, and adjusting recurring days.”
“Lexi-Saige took to Jessica immediately. She slept with her and hung-out by her side all day. I'm glad my precious girl felt comfortable and enjoyed her day while I was out of town. Thanks Jessica!”
“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”
“Ducky can by shy and hesitant to go with folks other than me. She loves going to Shannon's, and Shannon cares for all the pups as though they were her own fur babies.”
About: I come from a Family of Farmers. I grew up taking care of Pets My entire life. During Covid I took in unwanted Dogs and Cats in My Community who could no longer afford to be taken care of by their owners and successfully re-homed them. I am now an Advocate for unwanted and stray animals. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule that can accommodate Regular Business Hours or Untraditional Hours per the needs of Your Fur Baby. I have a 25+ Years of Experience in Emergency Medicine working both in the Hospital as well as Patients Homes. Your Fur Baby will be treated with Dignity, Respect as well as Your Home and have an awesome interactive experience with Me. I do not Drink or Smoke and will always go the extra mile to Honor Your Home.
“I love Tiara! She was amazing with Queso. She was flexible with my times and very communicative and gave updates throughout the day with Queso. I would definitely use her help again and suggest Tiara for services to others. Thank you so much!”
“Veronica was amazing! What I truly appreciated was all of the pictures she sent. Every photo showed my fur baby happy and being part of Veronica's family for the day! I am grateful that she has been able to watch my boy and look forward to the next time she and Caleb take care of him!”
“This was my first time sending my baby off. He was a Covid baby so he didn't really get a chance to get out. Kobe took to Reynaldo right away. I got pictures and updates. Looking forward to other adventures.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have spent several years caring for both dogs and cats in various settings. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or providing companionship while owners are away, I treat every pet like my own. As having two dogs of my own as they love to go on walks. Being also experienced working with Charm City Groomer and Volunteering at BARCS(Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter) love to walk and pet sit for any dogs or cats. Because I am currently out of college for the semester, I have a completely open and flexible schedule with full time availability right here at my home! Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to build my entire daily routine around your pup. Here is how my flexible schedule benefits your dog: Easy Home Drop Offs & Pick Ups: Since I am home throughout the day, I can easily accommodate whatever drop off or pick up time works best for your schedule. All check ins and check outs take place directly at my home. Dedicated Mornings & Afternoons: Having significant availability means your dog will rarely be left alone. I am fully available for long morning adventures, midday potty breaks, and interactive afternoon playtime. Consistent & Reliable Routine: Because I do not have conflicting daytime classes or a strict commute right now, I can strictly adhere to your dog's regular feeding, walking, and medication schedules without disruption. Your pup will enjoy constant companionship, plenty of attention, and a reliable routine every single day! Safety is my absolute top priority, and I treat every guest pet with the same vigilance and care as my own. Whether we are exploring outdoors or relaxing inside, I maintain a highly secure and supervised environment: Safe & Comfortable Indoors: Constant Supervision: Pups are never left unattended for extended periods, and my indoor space is fully pet-proofed to prevent any mischief. Separation for Meals: Dogs are safely separated during feeding times and when enjoying high value treats to prevent any resource guarding or food anxiety. Cozy Chilling Zones: I provide plenty of safe, dedicated spaces (like comfortable couches and dog beds) where your pup can unwind and relax peacefully. Secure Outdoor Adventures: Strict Leash Policy: When walking outside including our two laps around Lake Montebello dogs are securely double checked on their harnesses and leashes at all times. Controlled Entrances: I am extremely mindful when opening doors or gates to prevent any bolting or escape attempts. No Unsupervised Interactions: I do not allow guest dogs to interact with unfamiliar neighborhood dogs on walks to ensure every outing remains completely safe and stress free. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in a secure, loving home where their well being comes first. I am always happy to provide regular photo and text updates throughout the day so you know exactly how they are doing!
About: My dog and I work from home all day and we'd love your pup to come hang out with us! I did my PhD at Johns Hopkins and now work as a remote tech professional. I have a 5-year-old lab/shepherd mix. I have babysat and fostered dogs of all shapes and sizes, including dogs with special needs. I'm the girl who takes better care of her dog than myself. I'm talkin' three 45+ minute walks a day, human-grade dog food with special toppings, and only positive reinforcement. I know how special your fur baby is and I know it can be scary to trust someone else with them--trust me, I've been there. I would treat them the exact same way I treat my own dog--with attention, care, respect, and lots of love. Your dog will be supervised at all times in a large 3BR condo with large living spaces, plenty of toys and places to lounge. Oh--and a goofy furry friend named Trevor! I work from home and keep a pretty typical schedule--my dog and I go for a 30-45 min walk around 7:30 AM, a 45-90 min walk around 4PM, and then a 30-45 min walk around 8PM. In between, he lounges while I work with breaks for cuddles and play. I would adjust walking lengths to your dog's needs and can do more potty and play breaks if needed! I have a large 3BR condo with a large living area, study (where I work), and dining area. Dogs are allowed on my couch and bed but there are also dog beds in nearly every room. My kitchen has a door and my pantry has a door that I keep closed so your dog wont get into any food they're not supposed to.
“I know Wallace had a great time with Keith and his family and 2 orher dogs as the first thing he did when we got home was to curl up and take a nap. We are looking forward to being repeat guests!”
“Shanikki is great with all dog breeds and they feel comfortable in her care. She is great at communicating and always gets back to booking requests promptly. So thankful for her great pet sitting!”
“I was very pleased! Ms Lisa was very pleasant and kind. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her. She made sure I received updates throughout her time with my Halo. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Nathalie took care of my 3 yr old Airedale Terrier Que for the day and she did a fabulous job! She made sure that Que was comfortable since it was her first time being with someone new for the day. Nathalie kept a record of the number of walks and how often Que went to the bathroom. I would certainly recommend Nathalie to anyone who's in need of a pet sitter in the sitter's home.”

“Lady was wonderful! She came over to meet our dogs before walking them the first time and they loved her. Lady was great about keeping us posted on their walks (including sending lots of pictures) and was super responsive. We will definitely be asking her to walk the dogs again!”
“Ivan is the best! Our dog can be reactive and Ivan did a great job of being very patient and calm despite our dog being quite mean. Would highly recommend!”
About: I grew up in a home where we always had at least one dog, and I've been caring for dogs my entire life. As an adult, I cared for an elderly dog through his senior years, including managing his medical needs and ensuring his comfort during his final chapter. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize subtle signs that a dog needs extra care or gentler handling. I've also regularly cared for friends' and neighbors' dogs over the years. I understand that every dog has their own personality—some are energetic and playful, others prefer calm, steady walks. I take time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. For me, spending time with dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely miss and enjoy. I'm reliable, observant, and will treat your dog with the same care and respect I gave my own. I work from home full-time during weekdays but have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on dog walking during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm looking for regular clients who need consistent care, whether that's daily walks, weekend visits, or occasional drop-ins. I live in the Hampden neighborhood in Baltimore and am happy to work with clients in my neighborhood. Walking is something I already enjoy and build into my day, so adding dog walks feels natural rather than squeezed in. I'm reliable about communication and will always let you know if my availability changes. For dog walking, I always ensure dogs are securely leashed before leaving the home and stay alert to their body language and the environment around us. I'm comfortable navigating busy sidewalks, parks, and quieter residential areas depending on what the dog prefers. I follow any specific instructions owners provide about routes, other dogs, or behavioral needs. If watching pets in their home, I'm respectful of the space, follow feeding and medication schedules carefully, and keep owners updated. I understand the responsibility of having someone's keys and entering their home, and I take that trust seriously.
About: Hello! I go by Sun (they/he) I am lover and owner of many pets since I was a child. I have experience with all kinds of dog breeds, big and small, I love them all! I aim to build trust and create healthy boundaries while also having fun with every animal under my care. Family and friends have relied on me for years for both short and long term care for our/their furry family members, especially during holidays or long term trips. I take pride in my attention to detail and will make sure to follow all care instructions to the best of my abilities. Being a full time tattoo artist gives me time in between my (usually) short appts to take care of all your pets needs, day or night. My weekdays tend to be open but I can provide services on weekends and overnight if given extended notice When I don’t have appts at my studio I can drop in, hang out, or walk your pet! I can provide detail oriented care of your pet at your home. I will do my best to match the energy of your pet in order to build trust and familiarity. Whether they require a chill hang out or lots of exercise, I’ll do whatever it takes to make them feel comfortable while your away.
“Wonderful dog walker and pet sitter and a true animal lover! She walked my high-energy beagle/hound twice a week for about six months and even took her running, which she loves! She sends pictures every time, which I really appreciate. And she would give my cat some snuggles and attention, too. I called on her last month to pet sit in my home for several days while I was traveling, and she was awesome. I felt great knowing the pets were getting a lot of attention while I was away, and again, the pictures! Sad to see her leave our area-- she is fantastic!”
“Maria really helped me out with my two dogs on very short notice. She was responsive and kind. Maria provided several pictures during the walks with realtime updates. I'd definitely trust her again with my dogs!”
“Sierra is amazing. She truly connected with our two dogs (both husky mixes), and they couldn't wait for her to arrive so they could on their walks with her. She has a great personality and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true professional.”
“Alex did a great job walking my senior pup the past two weeks! He's very responsive on the app and was even willing to be flexible on the timing when something came up last minute. I recommend him for anyone looking for a dependable walker. Thanks Alex!”
About: What sets me apart is my dedication to tailoring my services to meet the specific needs of each pet and owner. Whether it's training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques or providing gentle care for senior pets, I adapt my approach to ensure the best possible experience for both the animals and their human companions. Additionally, my commitment to clear communication and reliability ensures peace of mind for pet owners while they're away. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate your needs. we can discuss alternate arrangements to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I'm committed to finding a schedule that works best for both you and your pets. As long as i know a week in advance to what you need as far as scheduling with me. In my client's home, I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to the specific needs of each animal. This includes feeding, fresh water , litter box maintenance for cats, and plenty of playtime and exercise. I also offer companionship and attention to ensure their emotional well-being. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment where they can feel at ease. This includes designated feeding areas, cozy sleeping spots, and ample opportunities for play and exploration. I adhere to any specific routines or instructions provided by the pet owner to ensure continuity of care. In both scenarios, I prioritize open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns promptly.
“Alyssa was amazing. Needed a last minute walk for my for foster dog Haze and she was able to accommodate my request! Haze has reactivity issues and she handle him perfectly. I’m very grateful and will definitely be booking her again if needed.”
“Andrew has been really great with our two dogs. He is great with them, attentive, and patient. He is also responsive when it comes to messaging about booking or concerns about my dogs.”
“She helped us out when we were in such a pinch! We had taken in an emergency foster and he was alone for the day. She responded before 8AM and was there by noon to walk the sweet boy!”
“Shynia and Bella bonded instantly. Shynia's soft spoken voice, reliability, mannerisms, consistency, and attention to details throughout the entire dogwalk schedule was a blessing. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Shynia for dog walks or any of you pet needs. I have been consistently impressed by Shynia's positive attitude, feedbacks (Rover card updates and verbal updates), and most of all Bella's happiness and comfort when she is with Shynia.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life! Since I was a kid, we’ve always had dogs in the house, and as I grew older, I became the primary care taker of my dogs back home in Texas. I’m good at following complex regimens, from training details, feeding schedules, and medication administration! I’m am very flexible and comfortable around all dogs. I especially love larger pups. I have just graduated undergrad, so my availability has definitely freed up recently! I am available early mornings during the weekdays and most afternoons for both weekdays and weekends. To me, caring for pets also means giving them all the necessary attention! I love interacting with them at home with gentle play. Outside, I love to take my dogs to a park and let them run around and get their exercise. My dogs love to fetch, so I can’t forget to take a ball with me on our walks! I am always watching for the time, making sure that they are eating and pottying on schedule! My ultimate goal is to ensure that a pet is completely comfortable and safe, whether that means running around with them or taking a very calm walk!!
“IImani is so thoughtful and when she’s with Bella, I feel completely safe. Today is a fairly hot day and she remembered that Bella has a cooling Best and put that on her. I really appreciate her extra efforts.”
About: Hi, please call me Jupiter :) Pets have been in my life since I was six, and in one way or another I've found myself responsible for the care of one since I was ten or so! Whether it be family, friends, or a stray - I adore animals! I pride myself in my approach to pets as I do with children: be firm, but respectful. Understand boundaries and do my best to read the situation with what information I'm given and what I can infer from there. Its always great to immediately bond with a furry friend, but all living beings deserve basic respect and compassion! I've met very few pets I didn't hit it off with, but even my great aunt's black cat, old and cranky as he is, let me feed him and exist nearby without claws (as is his M.O. with anyone who isn't his owner). Long story short, I adore all the fauna earth has to offer and make it my mission to successfully cohabitate at minimum, and a strong bond more often :) I now have a car again! I work 5p to 8p Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 12p-5p Sunday and 8a-8p Wednesday and Thursday! The day time hours are subject to change based on the gig but i'm always off Saturday and don't mind working you and your furry friend into my schedule! Overnights are fine though Id have to leave early on those 12 hour days - coming back after isn't an issue for longer stays! Drop ins are extra welcome at the moment :) While I cannot board, I take care to leave a home as I found it, if not better. I prioritize learning and writing specific safety and miscellaneous expectations for easy access, and default keep doors locked + my shoes off. I also think it's important to not disrupt set routines, so if a furry friend needs to be crated by a certain time, an alarm fifteen or twenty minutes prior is key to be timely and have grace if said pet may not love crate time.
“My pit bull mix Annie has some issues with anxiety and reactivity, but Lindsay does a great job keeping her calm and feeling safe! I know she is taken good care of while I'm at work!”
“I AM SO HAPPY WITH CHANNINGS SERVICE. My very stubborn husky finally will leave the house! I’m so appreciative that she gets a full mile in with him. I couldn’t ask for more”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was 7. I also had my first dog at the age of 9. I’ve spent my whole life taking care of animals as if they’re my siblings. As of right now, I am a taking a gap year from full-time university, so my schedule is flexible. I play water games with the dogs and keep them company during their stay. I love to spend time with animals like best friends would. I enjoy cleaning food dishes and feeding the pets. I’m currently a university student studying for a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and planning. I also work part time in the summer, but I can always work around my schedule to accommodate your pets :) I have a fenced backyard as well as cameras that overlook the front, back, and garage. I ensure safety by locking doors and keeping a constant eye on them. I also like to be in the room with the pet my entire visit.

We hope he can stay again in the future!”
