“By far Anika is the best sitter for our fur baby!! We have used her for daycare and boarding and each time we are happy with our decision and Max LOVES going over there. We are so glad we found Anika!!”
“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“We are so grateful to have someone take such loving care of our dog. Liz sent us pictures and updates often. After arriving home Nola was calm and happy. We will definitely be asking Liz to watch Nola again :)”
“La Tasha was wonderful with our Griffin pup. She went above and beyond to keep us updated on his stay via texts and videos. She was very easy to schedule with and has a great love for dogs. Griffin was happy and exhausted at pick up time ;)”
About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.
“Kelly is beyond amazing. I was concerned about my problem child Frenchie being a handful, but Kelly reassured me he was in great, capable hands and sent pictures daily. They even did paw print paintings! We will definitely be a repeat customer”
“Lillian and Sebastian was wonderful right from the jump start. They both made my husband and I feel very comfortable to leave our fur baby. Further more, upon dropping off our fur baby, he was made to feel right at home. To top it off, we received plenty of photos, videos and text fill with updates of our fur baby. Excellent care.”
“Lori, is wonderful! She cared for my little Sienna as if she were her own. She provided several updates daily including photos. I was always informed of Sienna’s activities. I’ll absolutely book Lori again!”
“Stephanie provided exceptional care for our dog, allowing us to do a meet and greet with her and her dog, maintaining clear and consistent communication throughout the stay. Her daily "pupdates" gave us peace of mind, and we highly recommend her services. The bath before coming home was also an unexpected bonus!”
“WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.”
“Bianca took such wonderful care of our dog! This was our first time having a sitter and she was very reassuring and responsive. She's very communicative and made sure to plenty of take photos, which I appreciated. Her whole family made Kiki feel at home, with lots cuddles!”
“Tanita is amazing, and we are so grateful to have found her. She kept our puppy for 7 nights and was so patient and good with him. She kept him busy with lots of stimulation and activities. He had fun with other dogs. She communicated daily with great pics and videos. I can’t recommend her highly enough. We were nervous to leave our pup while so young, but she provided a great home environment for him. We were also able to see how great she is with dogs of other ages, including seniors.”

“Took great care of the cats, including one very high maintenance 18+ kitty who frequently has litter box issues and has daily meds. Jessie C. kept the box (and the cat’s accidents) cleaned up and cats well looked after.”
“There’s nothing like traveling and worrying the entire time! I was hesitant to use this app and I wasn’t having any luck finding a sitter…until I came across Emily! She kept me informed everyday! My fur babies were in such a better mood when I came home. They are usually boarded and that was not the best environment for them. It would take them days to resettle in at home. Thanks to Emily they were very well cared for! I will rebook for sure!!!!”
“Lindsay was great with our two cats when we went out of town for Thanksgiving. She took tons of photos and the cats really seemed to like her. We would definitely book her again if we ever needed someone! 😊”

About: I’ve lived in a multi-cat household for over 25 years and have cared for cats from a wide range of backgrounds, including shelter adoptions, strays, and cats who needed to be rehomed after losing their owners. I’m experienced with shy and senior cats, and I understand the patience and consistency they need to feel safe and comfortable. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and litter box habits—because small changes can matter with cats.
“Trisha was great and I would absolutely recommend!!! She took care of our 3 indoor cats and 1 outdoor cat while we were out of town for almost a week. 2 of them are seniors, 1 of which has kidney disease, so I worry about leaving them. I received pictures of the cats twice a day and the litter boxes were so clean when we got home. I feel relieved knowing we have someone like Trisha to care for our kitties when we have to go away!”
“Bree was an excellent care giver for my cat Baby. I cannot express enough what it meant to not have to worry. Bree sent daily photos and videos. She went out of her way to engage and play games with my anti-social fur baby 😊. Bree was friendly and dependable and I will be working with her again!”
“Katie did a fabulous job taking care of our cat, Scout. She sent us pictures and notes for every visit. We had a meet and greet beforehand and she was friendly and professional. I highly recommend Katie for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have about 10 years experience walking and training dogs. I have my own doggo as well that could help with socializing. Walking dogs is great for exercise, but also a great opportunity to build confidence and help your best friend to understand us better. If you need a pet sitter, I’m your guy. I am a retired Marine who has experience working with military pups. The hardest part in training these amazing pups is that most of them outranked me. Lol I believe walks or just outside time in general is very important. I have my own doggo stay in my yard without a fence by using the invisible fencing. If you need help with anything for your pup from visits to sit ins to socializing or just some walks, I would love to help.
“Emily was a pleasure to work with! Great communication and very punctual. Emily was very accommodating when asked if she could squeeze in another walk and feeding. Will definitely book with her again!”

I am an animal lover through and through and, as a freelancer new to the Bay Area, I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pups who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther before he went to heaven. I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pup, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️

“Lydia walks our one-year Papillon Mix several days per week. She's always timely and provides us updates after each walk. Our dog is always happy when we get home from work. We highly recommend Lydia for walks!”
About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.
About: I grew up in a household full of animals, so I’m used to some chaotic pet energy. :) I like to play and create a bond with pets. My main focus is making them feel comfortable with the experience. I work full time, but I’m home often so I can work around my schedule when needed. I enjoy just hanging out with the pets but I can also go on an adventure with them if needed to get that energy out! I’ve had many puppies and kittens in my day so I know how to work with them and help potty train if needed. Right now I have two small girl dogs who are super friendly and just want more friends in their lives! They love cats and dogs alike.
About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years…or really, my whole life! From dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even fish, I’ve shared my life with animals of all kinds. I currently live with four cats who have taught me even more about patience, play, and intuitive communication. I’ve also helped friends with pet care, walked dogs of all sizes, and provided loving attention to pets while their humans were away. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I feel deeply connected to them. I believe in meeting each animal where they are, tuning into their energy, and ensuring they feel safe, seen, and nurtured. Whether it’s a playful walk, cozy check-in visit, or overnight care, I’m committed to showing up with love, attentiveness, and a calm, grounded presence. Your pet will be treated like one of my own! Pet care fits beautifully into my current schedule. I’m seeking flexible work that keeps me close to home so I can care for my four cats and continue pursuing my passion for baking. My days are open and adaptable, and I love spending time with animals. I’m currently available most days and times, and I genuinely enjoy being outside for walks or tending to pets’ unique needs. This work is a natural extension of my lifestyle. I treat all pets like family, tuning into their needs with care and calm energy. Whether in my home or yours, I create a peaceful, loving environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, maintain clean spaces, and follow feeding or medication routines exactly. My four cats are well-loved and cared for, and I bring that same intention and presence to every animal I care for.
About: I have always loved dogs and had my own, but I started caring for other people’s dogs at around 13 years old. In early 2022, I started working at the doggy daycare/boarding facility I currently work at, and I am now a manager there. I am responsible for feeding, bathing, administering medication, playing with and cleaning up after dogs of all different breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes, and I couldn’t be more passionate about my job. I currently work full time (at a dog kennel), and my schedule is consistent but switches days every week. I know my schedule very far out in advance so it should be easy to work with! I have 2 dogs at home that are well trained but not very friendly with other dogs, so at home boarding does not work for me. However, at your home, I can work with whatever system you have going for your dogs already, whether that be a crate training system or something different. I have plenty of experience from my current job and can meet all the needs you and your furry friend need to be satisfied:)
About: I would set myself apart from many just for my love of animals and always having a bunch of them around. I have always had dogs and cats ever since I little and I have great passion in helping people or animals that can’t fully help themselves! I have a full schedule and I’m pretty flexible! I show up on time and am never late. I can work around all hours needed. I make sure to clean up any messes left behind, and be respectful to others things as I’m in their space. Make sure the dog doesn’t scratch the floors or knock anything down. Always keeping a close eye.
“Hades loves Linda and he is very picky about people. Great communication and care with this silly boy. I feel at peace knowing Linda can handle my big boy. Looking forward to the next walk!”
About: ** Drop in visit prices will be discounted for multiple pets! For single pets there will be an add on transportation fee of 20$ per visit. I have been around animals all of my life. I grew up on a farm so I do have experience with a wide array of animal types! I am comfortable around large and small animals of all kinds and will treat them like my own pets, who I consider part of my family. I know animal first aid, cpr and the Heimlich maneuver. I am able to administer medications and have a back ground with animals that are special needs. Your furchild will be well taken care of, loved and be happy and healthy when you return! Thank you for your time and I look forward to getting to know your furchild. 💕 I work part time from home so I have a lot of spare time to spend with your animals and will make them feel loved. Regardless if I’m taking care of your pup at your home or mine safety is one of my main concerns. Everyone is always safe and happy. 🙃
About: Hi! I am a 2020 graduate of University of Maryland and work as a public school teacher in PG county. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and have lots of experience with big dogs (my family had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever). I was a secondary caregiver for a future guide dog puppy while in college and helped with obedience classes for my friend’s Great Dane, so I also have a good amount of experience with young dogs. I am friendly, responsible, and timely. I am very active and would love to walk your dog as long as you want, but I also love just hanging out and playing around the house too for less-active dogs. I am available any time Friday - Sunday and evenings and mornings Monday - Thursday. I have some breaks between classes during the week when I could stop in or be available for a potty break. I always strive to be as clean and respectful of your home as possible, and to leave it just as I found it (or better)!

“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“We are so grateful to have someone take such loving care of our dog. Liz sent us pictures and updates often. After arriving home Nola was calm and happy. We will definitely be asking Liz to watch Nola again :)”
“Kelly is beyond amazing. I was concerned about my problem child Frenchie being a handful, but Kelly reassured me he was in great, capable hands and sent pictures daily. They even did paw print paintings! We will definitely be a repeat customer”
“Lillian and Sebastian was wonderful right from the jump start. They both made my husband and I feel very comfortable to leave our fur baby. Further more, upon dropping off our fur baby, he was made to feel right at home. To top it off, we received plenty of photos, videos and text fill with updates of our fur baby. Excellent care.”
“Stephanie provided exceptional care for our dog, allowing us to do a meet and greet with her and her dog, maintaining clear and consistent communication throughout the stay. Her daily "pupdates" gave us peace of mind, and we highly recommend her services. The bath before coming home was also an unexpected bonus!”
“WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.”
“Bianca took such wonderful care of our dog! This was our first time having a sitter and she was very reassuring and responsive. She's very communicative and made sure to plenty of take photos, which I appreciated. Her whole family made Kiki feel at home, with lots cuddles!”
“Tanita is amazing, and we are so grateful to have found her. She kept our puppy for 7 nights and was so patient and good with him. She kept him busy with lots of stimulation and activities. He had fun with other dogs. She communicated daily with great pics and videos. I can’t recommend her highly enough. We were nervous to leave our pup while so young, but she provided a great home environment for him. We were also able to see how great she is with dogs of other ages, including seniors.”

“Ruby had a great time! Lots of individual attention and a safely fenced big yard where she could run around and play. Ruby was happy to see me but whined at leaving her new friends when we drove away. I'll definitely be coming back!”
“They were great with our puppy! They sent us updates and pictures everyday & kept us up to date with how our puppy was doing! Definitely will rebook with them again!”
“I love love LOVE having CiCi care for my fur baby Charli! She stayed four nights without her baby shadow, my other spoiled pooch, and she enjoyed outdoor play, made new friends, and even got a manicure and pedicure! I always feel confident leaving my dogs in her care because she cares for them as if they are her own. I recommended her recently to my neighbor for her puppy and she is also pleased with the care she received. We will continue to use her for our extended stay needs for sure!”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
