Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”

“I am so lucky to have found Jeanne to take care of our sweet dog. She is seriously the closest thing to a Mary Poppins for dogs that exists.

I really could not have had a better experience.”
“I'm a first time dog mom and get very nervous every time I'm going to leave my dog at someone's house,but Rodney made me feel very comfortable. we got to meet him before our trip and him and his wife were very nice.

“Ashley did a great job of taking care of our cats. She was very patient with our older cat when giving her medicine. She did well with keeping us updated on how the cats were doing.”
“Maya was fantastic. She took such good care of our 3 kitties for 2 weeks. She went out of her way to make sure they were ok during the snowstorm and cold. She gives them attention (plays, grooms etc), and ensures they eat, have fresh water, checks their wellbeing. (Also the litterboxes were well maintained - she even put the garbage out) We are impressed - her compassionate care and love for our furries shows through everything she did — in addition she looks after your house (all is clean, plants were checked, etc…)- (we had water issue she reported immediately and helped clear) . She communicates frequently and keeps you posted — in a nutshell if you look for someone for your pet — we would not hesitate to recommend Maya and certainly hope she is available for our next trip. We could not be happier.”
“Thank you for helping out in a tight situation and adding this late additional visit. Really appreciate your contact with me; moreso your rapport and care for my pets. Wonderful, kind, incredibly professional. Highly recommend.”
“We found an abandoned kitten behind the Wegmans, took her in, but had long-term travel plans in the next few days. Tara absolutely saved the day. She's very knowledgeable of early development best practices, and did so punctually, with genuine love in her heart. If you're lucky enough to be able to book Tara, you'll be getting the best of the best.”
“Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country. An added bonus is all the pictures she takes-I definitely have saved some of the super silly ones and they make me happy!”
“Victoria was fantastic ! Great about checking in and providing wonderful descriptions of Pippi activities as well as plenty of pictures. We will definitely use Victoria again! Thank you!”
“Brian was absolutely wonderful with our Bernedoodle puppy Oreo! Despite Oreo being a 60+ pound bundle of adolescent energy, Brian handled him with patience, confidence, and ease. He was always on time, professional, and genuinely caring. Oreo absolutely loved his visits and that says everything. Highly recommend Brian without hesitation. Will definitely book again!”
“Ashleigh was amazing! Each visit she provided pictures and updates on how our cat was doing. She did really well with our cat’s insulin injections! We will definitely use her again for future visits.”
“Emily was very reliable and responsive, and great with my cats. She went out of her way to spend time getting to know them and making sure they were happy. I really enjoyed the updates and photos every day.”
About: Hello, I’m Sabrina! I have always been involved in animal care spaces. I volunteered as a behavior volunteer for several years at Friends For Life Animal Shelter, where I learned about feline behavior. I am certified in feline CPR and first aid through PetTech! Your furry friend is always safe with me! I’ve grown up with cats and worked with them in a professional setting. I will always meet your cat where they’re at, whether they’re scaredy cats or love to play! I’d love to continue my pet care journey with you!
“Trevor was absolutely wonderful! He put so much care into updating us and sending us photos! He made our cat very comfortable and was sure to play with her lots. He allowed us to enjoy our vacation without being anxious about her. Would absolutely have Trevor do drop in visit again!”
“As a first-time Rover user with a shy cat, I was nervous about having someone new check on my kitty periodically. We really lucked out with Rachel. Rachel was patient with my many questions and walked me through Rover’s process. My cat allowed Rachel to pet her and even ate her food when Rachel was around, which is huge! I will absolutely book Rachel again the next time our schedules align! I recommend Rachel whether you’re a seasoned Rover user or a novice. Rachel is someone who definitely knows what they are doing and seeks to make your pet as comfortable as possible in your absence.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of S’mores!! She’s not the most social girl, but I think she’s warming up to you. We couldn’t have left her in better hands, and we look forward to continue to use Karenna as our sitter in the future.”
“Mina was caring and attentive to Otto, making us feel comfortable being away. She sent pictures of Otto from her visits. She did everything we requested to care for our cat and our house in our absence. I would feel completely comfortable hiring her again during our travel!”
“Curtis was a great caretaker for our two cats: Dropped by everyday, administered pills, changed food, water, and litter in addition to play time! Heavily recommend, he's a great sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and calm care I provide for every cat I look after. I’ve grown up around cats and have experience caring for cats with different personalities, from very social and playful to shy and independent, so I understand that every cat has their own comfort level and routine. I also have experience pet and house sitting for neighbors and family friends, and I always make it a priority to create a safe, low-stress environment where cats can feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications if needed, and paying close attention to each cat’s behavior and needs. I know many cats can be anxious around new people, so I’m very patient and never force interaction. I take the time to let cats warm up at their own pace while still making sure they feel cared for, safe, and loved. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every cat with the same care and attention I would want for my own pets.

“Victoria was able to watch my pup on short notice and took great care of him! She sent photos of their playtime and it looked like he really enjoyed himself! Will definitely will her again and would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Watched my puppy on a very short notice. She sent pics and let me know how he was doing. House was clean. She and her husband were really nice. Will use again. Thanks again.”
“Olga took such great care of my baby Remy! He is a very active dog and she took him on several walks and showed him so much love. He was totally exhausted when he came home and even slept in the next day, which I love. She was flexible too, as pickup details shifted during his stay. I would highly recommend Olga to anyone!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for years and am looking forward to opening my home to your dog in order to make them feel comfortable, loved and cared for while you are away. I am a stay-at-home Mom with two kids who adore dogs. We have availability during the week and weekends to care for your pup/dog(s) for 2-5 days. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood where lots of pups and dogs take daily walks and play time. While we don't have a fenced in backyard, it's tree lined with lots of space to run.
“Jordan is absolutely fantastic! I wanted to give my parents a day off while they watched my 11 month old for the week and Jordan was the perfect person to do so. My puppy has separation anxiety and my mom said he didn’t even notice her leave he was so excited to spend the day with Jordan and Biscuit. It was such a relief knowing he was well cared for and having a great time. He even fell asleep cuddled up with Jordan! Jordan sent so many pictures and was just the sweetest from the first moment we got in contact with each other! I’ve already booked her again :) I highly recommend going with Jordan!!!”

Loch Raven Reservoir is close to our home with many great trails. I have a fenced yard with a pool. I would not leave any dog alone in the yard, our neighborhood is great for walking. I will only take pets friendly to children.
“Andrew is absolutely Amazing! Not only did he make my husband and I feel extremely comfortable leaving our baby, she had the time of her life! We will continue rebooking him weekly!”

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.
“Makhayla really saved the day for me and my pup- last minute, she agreed to watch my dog on a Saturday, and later that day when my friend had a crisis and needed my support overnight, Makhayla came to my rescue and agreed to watch Molly overnight, even though that hadn't been our original plan. She was communicative, adaptable, kind, and great with Molly dog. Sent me lots of pictures too. Highly recommend- you can depend on Makhayla!”
About: I've cared for dogs my entire life as an owner. Ive had small dogs, terriers, and their strong will and playfulness to large dogs, ie German Shepard, and their willfulness and loyalty. I love them all and understand how to build trust with a pet. Ive also become a cat owner to tow boys bringing our home pack to 2 dogs and 2 cats. Currently I have a flexible schedule for drop ins during the day or evening. I am glad to feed them, play, and take out for breaks. Available any day except Sundays. Our home has invisible fence and our dogs are trained to remain in the years. We have also had fenced yards in the past. I can and do walk smaller dogs.

“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”
“Brian took great care of my girl, Lemon! He made sure the plan for Lem was super clear beforehand, which I especially appreciated since the schedule I gave him to complement my friend's visit schedule was not perfectly regular, and he didn't miss a visit! He also had to deal with a terrible cold spell, but when he couldn't walk Lemon for more than 5 minutes at a time (about all she can tolerate when it's that cold), he took her for two short walks to make sure she did all her business and then played ball with her in the house. We came home to a dog who, while happy to see us, was clearly doing just fine without us, which is all I can ask for :)”
About: Hello, I’m Sabrina! I have always been involved in animal care spaces. I volunteered as a behavior volunteer for several years at Friends For Life Animal Shelter, where I learned about canine and feline behavior. I am certified in canine and feline CPR and first aid through PetTech! Your furry friend is always safe with me! Last summer, I worked as a canine care attendant at The Barking Muse where I walked dogs, monitored day care, facilitated activities and basic training, and cared for our boarders! I’d love to continue my pet care journey with you! Currently, I’m a college student home for the summer, so my schedule is wide open! I’d love to fill my time by providing quality pet care! I always meet the pet where they’re are at. I will never force a pet to anything it doesn’t want to and believe in understanding their behavior and boundaries. Through this method I’ve successfully addressed anxiety in both cats and dogs and formed meaningful connections!
About: Thank you for considering me. I’ll treat your dog as a member of my own family. I have experience with dogs who have medical or speacial limits. I have lived with dogs my whole life. I have experience with other pets such as cats, snakes, rabbits, lizards, and fish. I love sending you photo updates on your pet. I do understand that the pets decide whether or not to accept someone as a sitter. I hope to get to know your amazing pets, just as well as you do. Thank you. I have a very flexible schedule. I am currently investing myself in education, and preparation for an apprenticeship. Giving time to pet care would be a highlight to my day. Although this was originally created for sitting I am more than confident in walking your dog. I would love to know what training your dog may already have so that I can work with it, rather than against it. If your dog has no training, perhaps we could practice some walking skills together
About: My love for dogs started in my parents home. We had 3 different dogs growing up. I had a pet for 5 years. Be a pack leader and place pet safety 1st with a great dog walking or sitter experience. Don't have a dog now but love watching AKC competition and westminster dog show . Starting to jog now and can orient dog into the jogging routine. I have room in my large condo 1200 square feet. HVe dog bowl for water and food. Have a big green area around building to walk and jog.
“Curtis has been walking our puppy for a few months now, she is always excited to see him. We appreciate his notes that capture our little girls personality and his flexibility to accommodate our changing schedule. Would highly recommend!”
About: As a mom to a 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I know from experience how much attention and care impact an animal’s life, their behavior, health, and even their mood. I walk my dog twice a day because I know how much energy a Golden Retriever has and how important these walks are for their physical and mental health. I’m a very active person, so I love spending energy with dogs on walks and playtime. I love all animals, but dogs are my favorites because of their intelligence and genuine affection. You can rest assured that your pet will be very well cared for with me, and we will definitely burn plenty of energy on our walks together Most days I’m available after 9 a.m., once I drop my husband at the office, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays. At the moment, I live in an apartment, so the safest and most comfortable option for your pet is for me to provide drop-in visits and walks, rather than full-time boarding in my home. During visits, I follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, always making sure doors and windows are secure and your home is respected
“Abigail was very responsive and very communicative when taking care of Jett. She asked plenty of great questions to make sure Jett was getting the best care possible. She also Toone great photos to show he was having a great time. Jett was a bit stubborn getting back inside (probably because he was having so much fun with Abigail), but when we got home he was in a fabulous mood. Will definitely ask her to watch our little guy in the future.”
“Allison was great with our Belgian Malinois, and she is a handful! We used her for a substitute for when our regular walker was on vacation, and she was able to walk when needed. She sent us pictures and updates every day, which was great. She is a sweet and bubbly person who is so easy to work with! Highly recommended!”
“Rachel has a great way with dogs,clearly. She has started walking my new lab / Jindo (Holly) from Korea (only 6 weeks in the US). The prior petsitter i used did not have success leashing her. Rachel on the other hand, seems to have an intuitive way with dogs, & Holly seems to be accepting her. Highly recommended:) Maureen”
About: Hi, my name’s Leo and a I’ll be looking after your pet. New to Los Angeles, I grew up in the Baltimore area with a Cocker Spaniel named Buddy. Five years ago, my family took in a Border Collie/Shetland Sheepdog named Lady. In the last seven years, I've often house sat for neighbors and taken care of their dogs, yard work, and any other animals they may have, typically when they were away for vacation. I currently live with my cat Sampson and only get to see our family dog Lady when I return to Maryland to visit my parents, so I'd very much love to take care of your dog to feel a little more at home. I would be thrilled to take your dog for walks or jogs, do drop in visits throughout the day, or house sit for you! I make my own schedule so I can be flexible to fit yours. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule if last minute changes are needed. I live in a studio apartment with my cat, so I likely will not be boarding animals with me at this time unless it is another small cat. My cat tends to keep to himself so he will not bother your cat.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand the care, attention, and patience they need to stay happy and healthy. Through caring for my own dogs over the years, I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and recognizing when a dog may need extra attention or care. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment while your pet is in my care. I will treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. As a teacher on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's care. I enjoy being active and love taking dogs on long walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I will work to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet's individual needs and routines. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and, with owner permission, can take friendly and social dogs to local dog parks for additional exercise and enrichment. I will provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you're away.
