Personalized care for your dog or cat - Colesville
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Colesville
“My dog, Molly did really well with Patricia and her family. I received wonderful photos of her daily. As an older dog with some medical issues and daily medication, I was concerned about leaving her for over two weeks. They took great care of her and made sure she got her medicine. She came home happy and relaxed, so I know she felt very comfortable in their care. I would definitely use them again and feel very grateful for the loving care they gave Molly. I highly recommend using them to anyone looking for great care for their pet.”
“We needed care on super short notice and Eric came through in a big way. He was so warm and welcoming to Raea and she took to him immediately! He facilitated playtime with her and her new furry friends wonderfully and provided videos and photos each day. She also got lots of exercise which we appreciate! We would definitely recommend him and plan to use Eric for our future pet needs.”
“Merritt had a great time staying with Jessica and Max. Jessica set me photos throughout the stay, which provided confirmation that he had settled in quickly and was having a great time. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.”
“Alex and Daniel were absolutely incredible dog sitters. They were communicative, sending frequent photos and updates, and took extremely thoughtful and loving care of my dog, Pip. They really went above and beyond, brushing him, taking him on lots of walks, and clearly provided him with a warm, kind, and comfy home. We are so grateful to them for taking such good care of Pip, and can’t wait to book with them again for our next trip.”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog, Hazel, with Bryn. At the meet and greet, Hazel obviously liked Bryn (which is not always the case when meeting new people) so I knew we were off to a great start. Bryn has a calm personality and definitely is knowledgeable about dogs. She has a lovely home and a great fenced in backyard where the dogs can play. Her dog, Kepler, is very sweet. Bryn sent pictures and updates during Hazel's stay and reported that she did very well. She followed my instructions as far as giving Hazel her medications. I'd happily recommend Bryn to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the moment we met her, we felt like our pups were in good hands. She sent us lots of pictures and updates which we loved! It was clear they were not only well cared for, but also happy and loved. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention made such a difference for us. We’re so grateful we found Cindy and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Nadia was spectacular! She walked Ginsburg regularly and kept us updated on her activities, most regularly with photos. She wanted to send more updates, but I shared that it was unnecessary. Periodically would be fine. As a new owner of a 6-month-old puppy, and a first-time boarder, I know that puppy-energy can sometimes be a challenge. Nadia took it all in stride, providing a safe and suitable environment…and assuaging any trepidations we may have had as first-time Rover users. Thx, Nadia!”

What sets me apart is the patience and attention I give each pet. I take time to build trust, respect their boundaries, and follow their owner’s instructions carefully.

I also keep clients updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. I respect each client’s home, keep things clean and tidy, and always follow their instructions closely.
“We had such an amazing experience with Kristy and Nick.. Kristy was very friendly and extremely caring, attentive, and thoughtful with our puppy, Teacup, and truly treated him like her own. She kept us updated, noticed his little behaviors, and made sure he felt safe, loved, and comforted the whole time.

We’re very grateful for the care they gave him and would happily trust them again.. can't recommendation her enough!!”

We truly appreciated her help and would absolutely trust her with Barfi again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve lived with and cared for cats for 4 years now. I also like a lovely smelling space, as I’m sure most cats do too, so I make it a point to keep litter boxes clean after each use. I’m happy to meet your cat where they - if they like to chill and be loved on I’m here for all the chin scratches and cuddles! If they just want to be fed & entertained from a distance, I can respect that too. I also love teaching interested kitties new tricks if they’re willing! Shaking hands/high fives are usually a hit. 😊

Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, and care for their cats while they are away. I understand the importance of patience, attention, and making sure every cat feels safe and comfortable in their own home.
“Denise is magical. We have a cat who is very reactive to strangers and dislikes changes in routine. We weren’t sure we’d be able to go on a family vacation and leave her at home in someone else’s care. But our difficult cat warmed up to Denise immediately, and they did fine the entire time we were gone. We loved the daily photos, assuring us that all was well. Would hire Denise again in an instant.”
“Angela was very responsive throughout my cat’s 4-day stay with her. It was my cat’s first time being away from home and she was very scared. Angela sent videos of her and video-called several times so that she could be as comforted in her new environment as possible. I highly recommend Angela for your pet-sitting needs!”
“I've booked with Karen before and chose to book with Karen again because she is extremely responsive, flexible, and provides great updates while watching the pets. Karen provided timely and extensive reports and went above and beyond my request for watching my pet. She changed my pet's litter, replaced her water, spent ample time with my cat, and communicated immediately when a problem presented itself. I would recommend Karen and I look forward to booking with her again in the future.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Colesville
“We are traveling through the states and stayed at Cherry Hill RV park in Maryland Cal and Kelly are only a 15 minute drive away and we dropped off our pup for daycare all five days while we went into the city to explore. We have been using Rover a lot since we started traveling but we have never had a sitter like these two. We received pictures and videos throughout the day but most importantly our dog was so excited to go to their home every day. Usually we have to drag him out of the truck with treats but upon arriving at their home each morning he couldn’t wait to get out. I wish we could take these two with us on our journey. They are the best. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our boy with them if we went on an extended trip. I can’t say enough good things about them and the care they give. Thank you again for the great care you gave Archie.”
About: Hi, my name is what? (Yessica), my name is who? (Dog whisperer), my name is chika chika ruff ruff 😎 I am a dog lover at heart. Growing up with dogs has truly been a blessing, they are a man’s best friend. You can trust your dog will feel at home. Our furr baby Blake passed away in October of 2025, he was the goodest boy and forever will be cherished in our hearts. We live next to a long trail perfect for peaceful walks. We love outdoor activities and now with the warmer weather your pup will get plenty of exercise. I will maintain any schedule you have and make sure your pup gets extra loving during their stay. Our home can accommodate for those with extra energy or older dogs who want to sleep in and cuddle all day. My husband works from home and would love the company of "mans best friend". We are off on weekends and have plenty of trails to explore. Your furr babies can expect a minimum of 3 walks per day, cuddles, food time on schedule, treats, and lots of toys and play time.
“My dog, Rosie was in good hands with Kelly and her husband. I felt less stressed knowing they took every effort to make her comfortable. Kelly sent me endless updates and pictures of Rosie's stay . This was important to me because this was my first overnight booking with her. Thanks, Kelly. We will be back soon!”
About: What Sets Me Apart I offer more than just a standard check-in or walk—I bring a lifetime of genuine animal love combined with specialized, hands-on experience to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and completely understood. Here is what makes my care unique: Senior & Special Needs Expertise: I have a deep understanding of senior pet care. Whether it’s managing medication schedules, recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, or just providing the extra patience and gentle pacing that older pets deserve, your senior companions are in incredibly safe hands. Puppy Training & Energy Management: Navigating the puppy phase requires consistent structure. I love working with young dogs to reinforce basic training, maintain potty routines, and channel all that amazing puppy energy into positive, healthy habits. Multi-Pet & Diverse Species Experience: My home is a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. From handling high-energy dogs and independent cats to caring for unique exotic pets like geckos, I understand the distinct body language and routine requirements of a truly diverse range of species. When your pets are with me, they aren't just being watched—they are being treated with the same deep respect, attentiveness, and family-level care that I give to my own. Pet care isn't just a side task for me—it’s seamlessly woven into the fabric of my daily and weekly structure. Because my routine centers around a flexible, home-based schedule, I am able to provide the consistent, attentive, and highly reliable care that pets thrive on. Here is how I integrate dedicated pet care into my routine: A Natural Part of My Day: Managing a busy, active household means I am already completely dialed into strict daily routines. Feeding schedules, fresh water refills, and multiple potty breaks are second nature to me and easily sync with your pet's specific internal clock. Built-in Movement and Fresh Air: I value keeping active and getting outside. Daily walks and high-energy playtime aren't chores—they are highlights of my schedule that allow me to give your dog the exercise, mental stimulation, and neighborhood exploration they need. Meticulous Environmental Care: Just as I maintain high standards for my own surroundings, keeping a spotless pet environment is part of my regular weekly rhythm. Daily litter box scooping, deep-cleaning food bowls, and organizing pet areas are deeply embedded in my normal cleaning habits. Evenings and Weekends for Quality Time: When the daytime rush winds down, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to winding down, too. This is when I love providing the quiet companionship, gentle grooming, and couch cuddles that keep pets feeling safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. Because my life is set up to balance multiple priorities smoothly, your pet receives structured, dependable care without me ever having to rush their routine. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) When pets stay with me, they aren't kept in isolation—they become part of a structured, lively, and highly attentive household. Seamless Integration: I run my daily business from home, which means your pet enjoys constant human presence and supervision. They are integrated right into our daily rhythm of work, play, and relaxation. A Sanctuary for All Personalities: My home is designed to accommodate different comfort levels. If your dog loves a pack environment, they will have plenty of company. If they prefer a quiet corner to decompress, I have dedicated, cozy spaces where they can rest undisturbed. A Safe, Social Environment: With experienced resident pets of my own, I am highly skilled at managing animal dynamics. Introductions are always handled slowly and safely, ensuring everyone feels secure and respected in the space. Care in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) If your pet prefers the comfort of their own walls, my priority is maintaining absolute consistency, security, and cleanliness while you are away. Flawless Routine Replication: I follow your specific instructions to the letter. Whether it’s feeding at an exact timestamp, following a precise walking route, or administering medication, I ensure your pet's internal clock and habits aren't disrupted. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect. In addition to keeping your pets happy, I ensure their environment stays pristine—handling meticulous litter box maintenance, keeping feeding areas spotless, and making sure everything looks exactly how you left it. Security and Peace of Mind: You will receive regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. I also keep a vigilant eye on the security of your home, ensuring doors are locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the property is secure.

“I normally don’t leave reviews, but it’s my sincere pleasure to sing Anna’s praises. I had a recurring daycare booking for my Irish Setter two days a week, and Anna was wonderful. Anna was reliable, kind, and clearly loves dogs. My dog was always excited to see her and came home happy and well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.

“Liza is amazing and understands difficult dog behavior. We have an anxious dog who usually takes a while to warm up to new people which makes finding a dog sitter more challenging. Liza was patient with our dog and got him to more or less accept her on the first visit. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Calvin was always on time. Had water ready for my dog. Walked for the length of the dog walk. And was able to manage my dog through some of her issues -- deer, loud vehicles... I highly recommend him as a dog walker.”
“Joe took great care of our Lola girl. We have a boxer puppy with a lot of energy and Joe was able to handle her well. They got along the first time they met and from the photos he sent during their walks, it looked like they both enjoyed each others company. We’re grateful for Joe’s patience with Lola and will be booking him again. Thank you Joe!”
“Wonderful experience! She provided great updates throughout the visit, sent plenty of photos, and took excellent care of my dog. Communication was easy, and it was reassuring to know he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, offering gentle, loving care that caters to their unique needs.

With a nurturing touch and a keen eye for details, I’m here to give your pet the care they deserve while giving you peace of mind.

I ensure plenty of playtime, cuddles, and a quiet space for rest, following your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free.

Whether at my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel secure and cared for, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Azucena was amazing with our Yorkie Amelia!!!! She was very kind and had a lot of patience with her as she is a little unsure around strangers. She took her for walkies and let her sniff to her hearts desire, gave her medication, wiped her paws to remove the harsh snow melt, and was excellent at keeping us updated. We are so glad we found her!!!!”
“My partner and I are grateful for India! She was able to help us in a last minute situation which we were already nervous about because we have a rescue pup who needs strict routine but also kindness and patience. She seems to really love pets and would definitely consider her again for future walks.”
“Hailey was great with my dog, Sadie. When first meeting, Sadie immediately felt comfortable with Hailey. Hailey was punctual, sent great pictures, and was very professional! Thanks, Hailey!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including through my volunteer work at a local animal shelter. Volunteering has given me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes, personalities, and needs and has taught me the importance of patience and making each pet feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for pets of friends and family. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated while you’re away! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my weekly routine. I’m available throughout the week and can work with each pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and make sure their needs fit with my availability. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and staying in your home. I will always follow your instructions closely and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality and will provide plenty of care, attention, and updates throughout their stay.
About: 15 years of own pet care experience. I have cared for pets and volunteered on animal shelters before. I own a frenchie boy who is very calm , never barks and loves to eat. If needed on a case by case basis I can arrange to have your baby in my care alone :) Loved animals since little. I will love your pet like its my own. I’m a civil engineer with a frenchie pup working from home! Dog-walking or pet sitting will be a smooth addition to my daily routine that your pup and I will enjoy! Meet and greets needed for dog sitting. Will send you photos or text to let you know how your pet is doing! Please let me know of any fears your pup has. I typically let my dog sleep my couch or bed but will ask for permission first.

“Julijai’s family stepped in on short notice and went above and beyond — so attentive, caring, and genuinely loving with Penny. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away. Thank you !!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog, Hazel, with Bryn. At the meet and greet, Hazel obviously liked Bryn (which is not always the case when meeting new people) so I knew we were off to a great start. Bryn has a calm personality and definitely is knowledgeable about dogs. She has a lovely home and a great fenced in backyard where the dogs can play. Her dog, Kepler, is very sweet. Bryn sent pictures and updates during Hazel's stay and reported that she did very well. She followed my instructions as far as giving Hazel her medications. I'd happily recommend Bryn to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the moment we met her, we felt like our pups were in good hands. She sent us lots of pictures and updates which we loved! It was clear they were not only well cared for, but also happy and loved. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention made such a difference for us. We’re so grateful we found Cindy and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“This was my dog’s first stay away after rescuing her about a month before. Maria and Fernando took excellent care of her. She got to meet other dogs and play outside in their wonderful yard. The pictures they sent confirmed this. I will definitely use them again.”
“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”
“Erika was so amazingly kind and patient. My pup felt so loved and happy as shown by his happy trot every time we arrived. We were very pleased with and blessed by Toby's stay with Erika and her lovely family.”
“Felisa took great care of our senior Beagle during a 9 night boarding. She was very loving to our fur baby, made sure he got his regular walks, meals, treats. I got daily updates with photos. Will certainly book with Felisa again in the future!”
“Jenny was soooo attentive, caring, and updated us a lot! You can tell she not only loves dogs but is very knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. Our Lady Bird had so much fun with Jenny’s dog Marley and actually even played with her which we’ve never seen her do since being adopted! We would 100% book with Jenny again.”
“Chris is an amazing dog sitter! I had such a great experience with Chris! He is so nice, friendly, and truly cares about the pets he watches. While I was on vacation, he sent me videos and photos of my dog Isabella, which gave me such peace of mind. Chris took excellent care of her, and when I picked her up she looked happy, relaxed, and refreshed. I will definitely use his services again for dog sitting — he’s amazing! Thanks again Chris!”
“Would 100% recommend Christina she made my baby boy feel comfortable and safe. He had such a great time I could tell from all the pictures and especially when I picked him up. He’s only 7 months old, still potty training, a picky eater and this was my first time leaving him with anyone else so I was EXTREMELY worried but Christina took such great care of him, ensured he was comfy at night time and could sleep well and he didn’t miss a meal which is amazing as sometimes he refuses to eat. Thank you so much Christina!”
“Ms.Tanisha was amazing with my girl Bella! She recognized that Bella gets a bit anxious when away from me and allowed her time to get adjusted with her household. She sent a bunch of pictures, updates, and fast replies. If Bella had to stay away from home again I would choose her! Bella was definitely in good hands :)”
“Rebecca took great care of our dog Otis. She shared periodic photos of him during his stay in which he always seemed happy. Otis himself told us just how happy he was. When we went to pick him up after 5 days he didn’t want to leave! Ran straight to the couch and sat there. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Michael was phenomenal as he took care of Sammy, my beagle. He was friendly and communicative and Sammy enjoyed staying with him. I highly recommend Michael.”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Boarding my puppy with Amani went great! This was my dog Blob's first time boarding, so I really appreciated all of the photos and videos that Amani sent every day of naptime, playtime, and bathtime. Our pick-up and drop-off also went very smoothly and she kept me updated with how Blob was doing health-wise and potty training-wise. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Amani.”
About: I’ve had my own pets in the past and I love all sorts of pets! It brings me serotonin to be with my furry friends! I’ve pet sat for my neighbors, friends, and family members! I will be working full time later this year and wanted to try out this fun side hustle to make extra cash and bring my serotonin levels up! My house has a big yard area! There’s a couple of parks nearby that are also perfect and I have a variety of pet snacks and toys!
“Travis was great with our beagle! Atlas definitely came home spoiled! Travis sent pics and videos to show us how things were going. He was very responsive and the whole process was incredibly easy!”
