“Beth is excellent! She put my mind at ease. I felt extremely comfortable with my fur baby in her care. She kept me informed and even provided pictures! I will definitely reach out with future needs!”
“Carlie took such wonderful care of our 11 year old Golden. She and her children spoiled him with all kinds of love and attention. I felt very comfortable leaving him while we were on a week long vacation.”
“Katie is awesome! Our dog Milo has some separation anxiety and she handled it with ease. She’s very quick to respond, and sends constant updates & pictures. We will definitely be using her in the future! Would highly recommend!”
“Lexi absolutely LOVES spending time with Mady and her family. Mady is great and I truly feel like Lexi is home at Mady’s home. Mady sends updates with pics to let us know how Lexi is doing. We are keeping Mady on speed dial?”
About: I’ve always had a house full of animals growing up, from dogs and cats to reptiles and even bunnies! 🐶🐱🐰🦎 Not having pets around after moving out was definitely something to get used to. I’m so excited to be on this app because caring for animals genuinely makes me happy, and I can’t wait to meet and spoil your furry family members like they’re my own! 💖 I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time caring for animals. I’m open to different schedules and stay lengths!! Animals have always been a big part of my life, so I care for every pet like they’re my own! 🐾 I make sure they receive lots of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping up with their normal routines. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them at home, I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved.
“Diana was very attentive to Rocky’s needs and routine as a young puppy! She frequently communicated with me and sent pictures to give me assurance that Rocky was adjusting and doing well as a new client. I will likely to book her services again. Thank you!”
“Katelyn was really excellent and accommodating for our puppy’s needs. She was vigilant about potty time and gave us multiple updates while we were away for a wedding. She was welcoming and helped us feel secure, especially for one of our first times using this type of service. Definitely recommend!”
“Kiwi loves going to Auntie Kelly and Uncle Maurice’s house! She is always receiving love and lots of play time with Dallas, Meeko and the kids. I can’t say Auntie Kelly’s name at home without her getting excited. Truly a gift to have found this family for our pet care needs.”
About: If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, you're in the right place. Dogs have been a part of my life for 20+ years, and caring for them is something I truly love. I've raised and cared for three of my own rescued dogs, Mumbles, Rose, and Benny. I have experience boarding dogs in my home, providing drop-in visits, potty breaks and dog walking for neighbors, and house-sitting for a special needs dog. I've also volunteered with multiple dog rescue groups and was a foster "fail" momma to the sweetest, most sensitive Staffy you could ever meet. Dogs are family and bring me so much joy. When your dog stays with me, my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I work from home and have flexible weekends, so your fur baby won't be left alone for long stretches. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Every dog is different, so their routine can be tailored to their individual needs and what they’re used to at home. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and well-being always come first. Your pet will be cared for in a quiet, calm home with minimal traffic, creating a peaceful environment where they can feel at ease. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets and homes, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care. I will respect your dog’s routine, be attentive to their individual needs, and provide plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Willow had the best time with Shelby and her pup Ellie. Instant best friends. I felt totally confident that our 4 year old dog was having a vacation all her own the entire weekend. Lots of time outside, on walks, playing, and snuggling. 100% would recommend and feeling so happy we have a go-to sitter :) thank you guys!”
“Yukia did a great job with Blaze!!! I could tell my pupper loved being with her and her wonderful family!!! Highly recommend!!! She constantly updated me with how Blaze was doing with pics!!”
“Absolutely fantastic. Poppy had the best time and Michelle sent us daily updates. Would not hesitate to book for next time and fully recommend Michelle for your pup-care! Thanks Michelle 😊”
“Bailey was amazing. I spent a lot of my life overseas, so, my two pups are my world. She would send pictures everyday of them in the park and playing. When I picked them up I could easily tell they had been treated well and were happy. Bowie and Harley (two Germans Shepherds) had no tummy issues, I know they weren't stressed and felt safe. Will definitely be reaching out to Bailey again the next time I need for someone to hang out with the girls. Thank you again Bailey!”
“Booking with Alicia was a fantastic experience! She responded quickly to my last minute request and made my pup feel right at home. She communicated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and updates. My dog has a blast and I highly recommend her!”
“Candice was amazing with my dog, Nagi. This was the first trip my family and I had taken since getting her, so leaving her with someone new made us a little nervous at first. We chose Candice based on her profile and reviews, and she absolutely did not disappoint. My family and I were able to fully enjoy our spring break trip knowing our pup was in excellent hands. Candice provided lots of updates with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected to Nagi while we were away. Nagi decided she didn’t want to use the stairs for the first few days of her stay, but Candice was incredibly patient and treated her like one of her own pups the entire time. She even carried Nagi up and down the stairs until she felt comfortable enough to use them like she normally does. Halfway through Nagi’s 1 week stay, she started having an upset tummy. Candice went above and beyond by picking up medicine for her, feeding her boiled chicken and rice, and taking care of multiple accidents when Nagi couldn’t make it outside in time. Candice also has a pup of her own, Rayne, which made Nagi’s stay even more fun. It was clear Nagi had a wonderful time and felt comfortable there. When we picked her up, she looked so happy, relaxed, and content, which told me everything I needed to know about how well she was cared for. If we ever need a sitter again, I would absolutely book with Candice again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Eli is the best!! I love the care he shows Skittles. I didn’t send enough food for my dog and Eli purchased more food for my furbaby!! The videos and pictures always made me feel good that my Skittles was doing just fine!! Eli will always be my first choice to sit for my dog.”
“I wholeheartedly recommend Elaine, and am grateful for her dependability, flexibility, and all the care she provided our dog when she stayed at Elaine's home. Will definitely be a return visitor!”

“Michael was incredibly helpful and accommodating to my cat. We just recently lost our other cat and Michael took extra care to make sure everything went smoothly. He took lots of pictures too! I highly recommend him and I will be rebooking for future trips.”
“From the moment Marley met our two cats for the first time I knew I could rest easy on our long trip away. My cat was just coming off a bad reaction to sedation and has hyperasthesia, and she handled his meds and a setback in symptoms effortlessly and with care. She kept us thoroughly updated daily, followed all the instructions and notes I left! and made sure everything was clean on her last day. Most importantly Marley was a caring, loving presence and caregiver for our kitties every day, and was a very kind, compassionate person in all our interactions.”
“Our cats love spending time with Sarah! We have booked her three times so far for 10-day periods while we were on vacation and everything went very well. Communication was great and we definitely recommend her and will book again.”
About: During my time as a pet attendant, I spent much of my time handling the cats' daily feedings, cleaning the homes, and making sure any medications were administered correctly per the owners' instructions. Additionally, I enjoy researching and understanding how to identify and understand cats' behavior to best cater to their individual needs. Finally, I have participated in many sitting opportunities for friends or family that required overnight stays, medication administration, and maintaining the needs of the cats' physical and mental enrichment. Overall, my job is making sure that your feline has the best time while you are out of town:)
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my cat, Lucy, while I was on vacation! Gurbata was absolutely wonderful and took such amazing care of her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Lucy was in such caring and reliable hands while I was away. Gurbata was attentive, kind, dependable, and clearly treated Lucy as if she were her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty made all the difference!”
“Courtney was absolutely amazing. She sent plenty of photos along with thoughtful, detailed updates, and my cat clearly adored her. I’m so grateful for her — especially for being so flexible on such short notice. I would book her again in a heartbeat, 1000%!”
About: As a dedicated dog walker and in-home pet sitter with over two years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I care for every dog (and cat!) as if they were my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs and routines. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun, and tailored walks ✅ Home visits that follow your pet’s schedule ✅ Clean water, food, meds (if needed), and lots of affection ✅ Daily photo updates and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going ✅ Respect for your home and your pet’s space I’m trained in basic pet first aid and always check collars, leashes, and gates before heading out. Whether it’s a quiet walk or an energy-burning play session, your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priority. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because of how flexible and rewarding it is. Since I set my own schedule, I can book pet care clients around my part-time job shifts and study blocks, which helps me stay balanced and productive. Walking dogs gives me a much-needed mental reset from screen time and studying, and it keeps me active throughout the day. It’s also a great way to supplement my income without taking on another traditional job. Most of all, spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy and motivation — it breaks up long study days and reminds me why I love what I do Whether you’re at work or away for a few days, I provide reliable, in-home care that keeps your pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment. From daily walks to feeding, playtime, and medication routines, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. 🔐 Safety & Professionalism Equipped for pet first aid always carrying a kit Detailed home-entry and security protocols Leash and harness checks before every walk Weather-conscious and always alert to potential hazards Respectful of your home, your pets, and your time 📸 Peace of Mind After each visit, you’ll receive a photo and short update so you know how your furry friend is doing — because trust is built on communication
“Ellie was absolutely amazing! She took marvelous care of our cats and provided detailed notes as to how the cats were doing during each visit. The pictures she provided were adorable. We would gladly re-book her and recommend her for pet sitting.”
About: Hi there! I have been caring for animals since a very young age. Growing up, we always had at least 2 dogs and raised litters of puppies at times. I had a sweet boy of my own (Nixon, in my profile photo) who I raised from a pup, but sadly passed away this year. I am an active person and love caring for animals, taking them for ample walks and pup cups, or just good company! Having a pet by my side is natural for me and would love to care for yours! I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule so I have ample time to take pets for walks, play, and they will never be lonely if staying with me! We have a townhome in Eastport which is a very walkable area and there is a backyard of green space for easy access potty breaks. Always will be leashed. I previously had a husky that wasn’t trusted off leash so I am overly cautious on that! Pets are allowed on furniture/ beds if owners allow. We have several decks if they like to look out and the boat action or sunbathe!
“10/10, I would absolutely book with her again! She made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend her to others.”
About: Hi there! My name is Lena, I'm 38 years old, and have been pet sitting professionally on and off for the last eighteen years. I started officially petsitting out in San Francisco and after moving back east, I professionally pet sat for a local company in the DC area for two years. I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, turtles, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, and pigs. I love animals and enjoy taking care of them, so your pet will be in very safe and capable hands! My wife, who also works remotely full time helps me on occasion with taking care of your pets. You can check out her Rover profile at: https://www.rover.com/sit/sheiip87322 We guarantee that your pet will always be taken care of no matter what! I require meet and greets before confirming bookings with new clients. This is so we can both make sure that we’re a good fit, so please keep this in mind when choosing me as your sitter and allow sufficient time for this. I will not take new clients without meet and greets! *Pictures are of my cats and some of my dog walking and petsitting clients. I currently work as a freelance videographer/photographer and live in Edgewater. I have a very flexible schedule and mostly work remotely. I currently have three cats, so I’m used to having fur babies by my side 24/7. At the moment, I’m not accepting boarding clients. When I do stay at your home, I follow whatever routine your pet is used to. I know animals tend to stick to routines and try to be mindful of their daily schedules.
“Thanks Phoenix. Reliable, got the job done well and a caring person to trust with my cat visits. I appreciate you watching my kitty kid and will be in contact again for your great services ASAP.”
“Alex was fantastic and shared all the updates with our pups. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions when she thought something was off with the pups. We felt very confident that our dogs were in safe hands.”
About: I've had cats of my own and have taken care of others. I have a client who has 3 cats, whom I take of frequently. They seem to take a liking to me, so that's nice.:) I know they're independent animals, but they still need their attention and talking to. As I mentioned before I'm slightly allergic so I try to sleep in a room that the cats do not go in.

“Our pupper enjoyed his day stay and really got to stretch his legs in such a large yard. We received regular updates and felt at ease leaving him in such capable hands.”

“Laura is fantastic! Our pup Luna had a great time and loved playing around in the yard and with her two lovely pups. Laura was great to work with and sent pictures during Luna’s daycare session. Thanks!”
“Kacie was just great with our pup! Even though this was our first visit, they bonded quickly and I knew he was going to have a fun day. Walks, play date with another pup and a trip to the dog park - all things wonderful for an eager playful pup. I walked away as he walked in the house with Kacie. He was happy when I picked him up - perfect day in every way. Highly recommend Kacie - your pup will be in great hands. Plus, she’s so nice and super friendly!!”
“Alex took care of Pepe like he was her own. I very much appreciate the videos, photos, and updates. She was very good at trying to bring Pepe out of his shell. I will book with Alex again!”
“Lucy and Daniel are a great team for the best doggy daycare you could ever want/need for your dog! My dog is extremely needy and they gave him nothing but love. We look forward to next time!”
“Whitney is an excellent care provider for my fur baby! My girl suffers from separation anxiety and I needed someone she could hang out with when I was at work and my family was out of town. All I can say is this was the first time my baby was actually excited to leave me and stay with someone! She wagged her tail and easily went to Whittney when I dropped her off. Always came back to me happy and relaxed. Whittney was great sending me lots of pictures and she regularly took her for a walk. Plus, Whittney is so sweet herself, I want to be her friend!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and love playing with and training them. I unfortunately lost Axel, my shepherd/husky mix, last year. But I still have Harley (technically my boyfriend's, but we've lived together 3 years now). Harley is a sweet, 4-year-old, 40 lb spayed female mystery mix who loves to play, especially with other dogs. We go for lots of walks each day and we like playing, learning and practicing tricks. She knows the basics and can also spin, place, go around you, and now we're practicing crawl. I think people could learn a lot from dogs if they paid more attention. I've started dog sitting for neighbors the past few years and always enjoy getting to know new dogs. One of my favorite dogs I've cared for is Goose, a 5-year-old male Chesapeake Bay retriever. I also work managing a restaurant in town and do graphic design part-time from home as well. I work managing a restaurant downtown in Annapolis, and also do freelance graphic design work from home. Except for Mondays, my shifts at the restaurant are all p.m. shifts so I'm home and available most days anytime before 3:00. I'm off from the restaurant on Tuesdays and Fridays. I currently have and have always had dogs so I'm very used to going for multiple walks a day. I live in an apartment downtown in Annapolis. We currently do not have a yard; however, we go for a lot of walks and still spend a lot of time outside at parks and just hanging out in front of the apartment to people (and dog) watch. I have a crate, and my dog is crate-trained, so if/when your pup is over, I'm prepared to separate them if needed.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young and I truly found a passion for it. Over the years I have watched many animals while their owners were away and just simply walking them and giving them their basic needs. I have a Patio area and dog park and I’m located near tons of places to walk. I do also have cats, but they’re friendly! I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 2 month old looking to make some extra income while home. I can do doggy daycare, boarding or house sitting. I’m in the Annapolis area and look forward to meeting your furry family members! I have a dog park, trails annd patio/small yard area and lots of room for your pup to play, I have friendly cats that love to tire dogs out, and room for crates if necessary.
“Elaine welcomed my Ziggy with open arms and heart. She is warm, friendly, loves dogs and treats them like family. Since being attacked by another dog at a dog park Ziggy has been anxious and nervous in different situations. When I returned I found a happy, smiling pup, which spoke volumes for his care with Elaine. I feel like I found a new family member who loves dogs as much as myself and shows Ziggy the kind of love to feel safe at home with her. Thanks Elaine”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for 3 dogs, 2 cats, birds, lizards, hermit crabs, fish, and rabbits. Taking care of pets has always come naturally to me. Since I was around 10 years old, I’ve helped walk my neighbors’ dogs and puppies, as well as pet sit their dogs and cats while they were away on vacation. I’m very patient, attentive, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and lots of attention. My 5-month-old daughter and I spend a lot of time at home, so I’m able to provide consistent care, companionship, and updates for pet owners. I enjoy having animals as part of our daily routine and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. In my home, pets are treated like family and are welcome on the furniture for comfort and companionship. I create a calm, loving environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed while away from their owners. My cats have access to food and water throughout the day, with their setup safely placed out of reach from dogs when needed. I do not crate animals unless specifically requested by the owner, as I prefer pets to feel comfortable and free in the home. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level to make sure they receive individualized care, attention, and plenty of love.
“Andy & Lydia took wonderful care of our pup during his day visit in their home, he was so happy and energetic when we picked him up, we knew he had had a great time!”
About: What sets me apart is the hands-on experience I bring with animals at every stage of life. I’ve bottle-fed newborns, cared for senior dogs with patience and love, and have extensive experience giving medicine to pets of all kinds. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for guinea pigs and reptiles,so I understand that every animal has unique needs. With me, you can trust that your pet will be treated like family, whether that means playtime, specialized care, or extra snuggles. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I plan my schedule to prioritize feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions so that pets always receive consistent attention. I’m organized, dependable, and detail-oriented, which allows me to maintain each pet’s routine reliable,whether it’s daily exercise, administering medicine, or simply giving them the reassurance they need while you’re away. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe and supervised environment where I treat them like family. I’m experienced with bottle-feeding young animals, administering medications, and providing gentle care for senior pets. I also have hands-on experience with small animals like guinea pigs and reptiles, so I understand how to meet a variety of unique needs. In a client’s home, I follow feeding, exercise, and care routines exactly as directed, while adding the patience and attentiveness that comes with my experience. Whether it’s giving medicine on schedule, offering extra support to older pets, or ensuring younger animals burn off energy in healthy ways, I provide reliable and compassionate care.
About: Hi there! My name is Stacia and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog owner too! Remi is a 2 years old, playful, dark yellow lab. He is fixed. I’m familiar with ensuring the environment is right for your dog. I previously owned a dog with high anxiety and wasn’t friendly with strangers. I understand the importance of making sure your guidelines for your pet are followed. I can give oral medications, follow your training rules, walk large dogs, handle dogs that aren’t friendly with strangers, high anxiety, and have disabilities (ex. Deaf, blind). These dogs are our best friends so I promise to take great care of yours :) If you have any additional questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to chat or meet prior to booking to ensure I am a good fit for your pup! I believe in open communication to ensure the safety of you, your pet, me and mine. I work fully remote and am able to support daycare and boarding. I usually walk my dog morning, mid day and evening for 30 min to an hour at a time. I’d like to be able to support other people who need assistance. During the week your dog won’t be left alone for more than an hour depending on drop off and pick up time. During the weekend your dog won’t be left longer than 3-4 hours depending. We can always communicate your dogs specific needs to accommodate! I have a fenced yard in our home and a friendly, playful 2 year old male lab (fixed). If your dog is in my home, they do need to be friendly with other dogs. This is to ensure the safety of my dog and if I am boarding or hosting daycare for another dog. During the week I do work full time so there are times where I am in meetings so it is preferred your dog is not destructive, okay without supervision, or is okay in a crate or enclosed room. I communicate my anticipated work schedule and plan for the day with the pet owner.
“Julia was incredibly responsive and promptly accepted our last-minute request. She took excellent care of our dog, providing frequent updates and photos that truly went above and beyond. She was attentive to his needs and very respectful of his comfort level. As a bonus, she has a delightful dog of her own, and ours clearly enjoyed the time playing together.”
“Rachele was there when we most needed it! She makes it look easy, is super flexible and accommodating, and my sweet Wyatt came home happy and well exercised and excited to go back again and again. In a short period of time, Rachele became a reliable and comforting second home & caregiver for our pup. Thank you!!!”
“Marta was terrific!! She sent us pictures throughout our puppy’s stay with her and even sent him home with some of her homemade treats. Definitely will be sending our puppy to her again in the future. 5/5 would recommend !”

About: I've had numerous experiences caring for dogs of different temperaments and medical conditions, whether the animal was closely related through family or friends or through my place of work. Additionally, I am a former animal studies major and have spent several years learning and understanding different ways domesticated animals can communicate their needs. My goal is to ensure each animal is given the proper mental and physical enrichment they need to thrive in their loving home. Through my extensive research and knowledge, I foster a safe environment that ensures your dog/cat will receive the best care for their specific breed's needs and requirements. I strive every day to give each fur baby the love and life they deserve:) I have taken a few months away from my job to pursue personal passions of mine before I return to college, so my schedule from Monday to Sunday is very flexible and readily available. Times and schedules may vary depending on personal appointments or familial obligations. If for any reason an emergency visit is needed, I can swing by and check in with your fur baby. I can crate dogs easily and work on building confidence with shy/anxious dogs. Additionally, I update owners about patterns of feeding, bowel movements, or any changes in everyday life to ensure comfort. The safety of your pet is my top priority, and I strive to uphold that through attentive one-on-one play and monitoring of any physical or mental changes.
“Snowden is great! We were new to working with a dog walker. We usually would drop Grace off at the dog sitter’s place because she can be protective of our house. Snowden worked with us the first two dog walks - taking time for Grace to get to know her. But Grace liked her from the start. Yesterday Snowden came by to take Grace on an hour long walk through the nearby park. She also was thoughtful to bring in some packages that were delivered on the front porch.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with 3 dogs, and regularly pet sit for friends and family before deciding to make it official. Friends often call me an animal whisperer because even shy or nervous pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I work remotely, and am very active, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention (and activity)! I work remotely and have very flexible hours, so your pet will have plenty of time, walking, snuggling, and being active. I also attend run clubs where pets are allowed, so if your fur baby is social, I’ll happily take them! I have a backyard, and live in a community with plenty areas to walk and sniff. Pets are welcome to be on furniture and in bed! I’m an excellent communicator, and will work collaboratively with you to determine the best care plan for your pet.
About: Hi! I’m Courtney — a true dog lover, experienced pet caregiver, and someone who treats every pet like family. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, couch snuggles, or just a calm and reassuring presence, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. For house sitting, my standard rate includes typical care such as feeding, walks/potty breaks, companionship, overnight care, and lots of love. If your pet requires additional support — including senior care, medication administration, frequent potty breaks (every few hours), mobility assistance, separation anxiety management, or near-constant supervision — please let me know before booking, as these higher-needs situations may require custom pricing to ensure I can provide the level of care your pet deserves. Please be as detailed as possible about your pet’s routine, behaviors, and care needs so I can make sure we’re the right fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!
“Ellie was great! She’s flexible and communicates well which makes it easy to trust her! She also did an outstanding job with my husky lab, Malibu. Would definitely recommend booking!”

Since I set my own schedule, I can book pet care clients around my part-time job shifts and study blocks, which helps me stay balanced and productive. Walking dogs gives me a much-needed mental reset from screen time and studying, and it keeps me active throughout the day. It’s also a great way to supplement my income without taking on another traditional job. Most of all, spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy and motivation — it breaks up long study days and reminds me why I love what I do Whether you’re at work or away for a few days, I provide reliable, in-home care that keeps your pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment. From daily walks to feeding, playtime, and medication routines, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. 🔐 Safety & Professionalism Equipped for pet first aid always carrying a kit Detailed home-entry and security protocols Leash and harness checks before every walk Weather-conscious and always alert to potential hazards Respectful of your home, your pets, and your time 📸 Peace of Mind After each visit, you’ll receive a photo and short update so you know how your furry friend is doing — because trust is built on communication
About: I love animals so much(perhaps more than people...). I have experience in taking care of dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Growing up I've had a puggle, boxer, and now two german shepherd mixes who were adopted from shelters. I've volunteered at animal shelters where I walked, cleaned, brushed, and fed dogs. Furthermore, I've pet sat for neighbors and family members. My dogs live with my parents in Cascade, so I don't live with dogs nor other humans at my house in Annapolis. I would love to take care of your pets! I will be starting a program that runs from M-F 9-3:30 soon, but am available after 3:30 M-F and all day on Saturdays/Sundays. I could walk, feed, or let out your pets before 9 as well. The M-F schedule will change come the end of July which would give me more availability on those days. When I'm at my parent's house, I let my dogs out in the mornings, feed them breakfast and dinner, give them medicine, go on walks/hikes, practice tricks and obedience tasks with them, and play with them. I'm more than happy to provide these services in my client's home too!
About: Hi there! My name is Lena, I'm 38 years old, and have been pet sitting professionally on and off for the last eighteen years. I started officially petsitting out in San Francisco and after moving back east, I professionally pet sat for a local company in the DC area for two years. I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, turtles, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, and pigs. I love animals and enjoy taking care of them, so your pet will be in very safe and capable hands! My wife, who also works remotely full time helps me on occasion with taking care of your pets. You can check out her Rover profile at: https://www.rover.com/sit/sheiip87322 We guarantee that your pet will always be taken care of no matter what! I require meet and greets before confirming bookings with new clients. This is so we can both make sure that we’re a good fit, so please keep this in mind when choosing me as your sitter and allow sufficient time for this. I will not take new clients without meet and greets! *Pictures are of my cats and some of my dog walking and petsitting clients. I currently work as a freelance videographer/photographer and live in Edgewater. I have a very flexible schedule and mostly work remotely. I currently have three cats, so I’m used to having fur babies by my side 24/7. At the moment, I’m not accepting boarding clients. When I do stay at your home, I follow whatever routine your pet is used to. I know animals tend to stick to routines and try to be mindful of their daily schedules.
About: I’ve always been around animals—I currently have a dog and three cats, so I’m used to daily care, feeding, and handling different personalities. I’ve also helped take care of my mom’s and brother’s pets over the years, so I’m comfortable stepping into someone else’s routine and making sure their animals are taken care of the right way. I’m patient, reliable, and I actually pay attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior, and making sure pets feel comfortable while you’re away. My schedule is pretty consistent, so I can plan around your pet’s needs. I’m available most days and can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on what’s needed. I already take care of my own pets daily, so feeding, walks, and check-ins are part of my routine. I’m flexible and good with sticking to whatever schedule your pet is used to. I treat other people’s pets the same way I treat my own. I pay attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free. I have experience with multiple animals at once, including my own dog and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I keep a clean, safe environment and can follow any specific instructions you have, including crating if needed.
“Mike is good with large, energetic dogs. He's able to be flexible about when the walk should begin should the owner's schedule need it. He's makes sure you know when he has arrived.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was a kid. Walking, feeding, bathing, and training have all been part of the routine for over 11 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets time and again, and that trust is something I take seriously. Whether your dog needs a calm and structured walk, a bath, or just good company while you’re away, I bring the same patience and attentiveness every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I have a lot of flexibility throughout the week, so I can work around most schedules. Whether you need someone on short notice, over a weekend, or during the week, I’m generally available and happy to accommodate what works best for you and your dog. Your dog will be in a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard where they can run and play freely. I have pets of my own, so your dog will have friendly company and will be comfortable in an environment that’s already used to animals. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual temperament and make sure every pet in my care feels secure and at ease.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have been a veterinary technician for 8 years, so your pup will be in knowledgeable, experienced hands. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I stay home with my toddler, which means your dog will receive plenty of supervision, structure, and love throughout the day. I also have two very friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own who love making new friends. I treat every dog like part of the family and understand how important it is to have someone you fully trust caring for your pet. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m home full-time and already structured around consistent schedules. Our days include regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods, so adding another pup into that rhythm is easy and intentional. I plan my day around the dogs’ needs — whether that’s supervised outdoor time, enrichment activities, or quiet crate breaks — making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and included. Because I’m home, your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will always have attentive, hands-on care. I have a fenced yard for free roaming with my dogs or play time. I also have space for crates if you dog needs to be crated during the night or any specific time.
About: I’ve had animals growing up all of my life including goats, horses and dogs from small to large. I have experience in both their care and for understanding their needs through hand on situations and passion. I especially love dogs because of their loyalty, love and tail wags! I’ve had my current dog from a puppy for the last year and a half and have loved seeing her grow! Your dog will always be the only dog I am watching along with mine and you can rest assure that your pup is well taken care of! I only am only available weekends with occasional changes upon request and that’s simply so that I can devote myself to being with your pet for as much of their stay as I can provide. My husband also is in the house will assist in any care needs, as he is passionate about dogs as well :) I typically take my dog on walks 4-5x a day or fetch sessions in the yard and can adjust scheduling as needed. My dog is friendly (very) with dogs of all shapes and sizes, is up to date on all shots and vaccinations, and has no history of violence. We are a pet friendly household that can accommodate crate training or more spoiled pups who enjoy being on the furniture as much as my Ellie does. I heavily respect rules and any needs/boundaries that you may have with caring for your pet all within good reason.
About: I have 4 years of pet experience. I have a 4 year old Maltese and have helped my family with their dogs for many years when they go on vacation. I walk the dogs, feed them, play with them, I do take them on car rides etc to make sure they’re happy and healthy. Dogs say I have a good sense of humor they really warm up to me. I’m currently working as a babysitter part-time so I have lots of time on my hands to help watch the little and big dogs and play with them and watch them for families who are going away. I go to many peoples homes to babysit who have dogs and I treat them like my own. I have have a dog myself and will treat the dog as if it was my own and take it on lots of walks and make sure the water is filled and the food is filled as well and make sure everything is done for their routine.
About: My pets have always been my children! I’ve had my own pets for 25 years as well as family pets growing up. I also enjoy light puppy/dog training. My schedule is very flexible as I am an entrepreneur. I may also be able to accommodate rush requests so please feel free to reach out! I’m available to feed, provide medication, walk your pet, or let them out to the yard for play and potty break. Your pet will always be leashed while outside of your home/ fenced yard.
About: What sets me apart is the hands-on experience I bring with animals at every stage of life. I’ve bottle-fed newborns, cared for senior dogs with patience and love, and have extensive experience giving medicine to pets of all kinds. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for guinea pigs and reptiles,so I understand that every animal has unique needs. With me, you can trust that your pet will be treated like family, whether that means playtime, specialized care, or extra snuggles. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I plan my schedule to prioritize feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions so that pets always receive consistent attention. I’m organized, dependable, and detail-oriented, which allows me to maintain each pet’s routine reliable,whether it’s daily exercise, administering medicine, or simply giving them the reassurance they need while you’re away. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe and supervised environment where I treat them like family. I’m experienced with bottle-feeding young animals, administering medications, and providing gentle care for senior pets. I also have hands-on experience with small animals like guinea pigs and reptiles, so I understand how to meet a variety of unique needs. In a client’s home, I follow feeding, exercise, and care routines exactly as directed, while adding the patience and attentiveness that comes with my experience. Whether it’s giving medicine on schedule, offering extra support to older pets, or ensuring younger animals burn off energy in healthy ways, I provide reliable and compassionate care.
About: I have always lived with dogs my whole life. Would pet sit for any family or friends when needed. I have so much love and patience for all animals!! Good with playing, walks, and even bath time! I currently don’t have a job so I’m just looking for some easy money while doing something I know I would enjoy as I love to be around pets! I could stop by whenever fits into their daily schedule or even hang out for a while if nothing is going on! I would not be offering to have pets in my own home as it would be chaos for my 2 dogs. But I would pay much attention to the pets in their owners home whether we are inside or outside, no matter what we’re doing!
About: I've had pets throughout my whole life, but as I got older and moved out of parents house they become very expensive. So, instead of getting my own pet, I use this site to engage myself with the precious animals. I currently work full-time through the week. I fit pet care time in on the weekends when I have nothing planned. I can totally do potty breaks after work hours. I care for the pets by giving them attention, playing with them(outdoors/indoors), feeding them, taking them outside for potty breaks, and cuddling because animals needs love too.

“Carlie took such wonderful care of our 11 year old Golden. She and her children spoiled him with all kinds of love and attention. I felt very comfortable leaving him while we were on a week long vacation.”
“Lexi absolutely LOVES spending time with Mady and her family. Mady is great and I truly feel like Lexi is home at Mady’s home. Mady sends updates with pics to let us know how Lexi is doing. We are keeping Mady on speed dial?”

About: If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, you're in the right place. Dogs have been a part of my life for 20+ years, and caring for them is something I truly love. I've raised and cared for three of my own rescued dogs, Mumbles, Rose, and Benny. I have experience boarding dogs in my home, providing drop-in visits, potty breaks and dog walking for neighbors, and house-sitting for a special needs dog. I've also volunteered with multiple dog rescue groups and was a foster "fail" momma to the sweetest, most sensitive Staffy you could ever meet. Dogs are family and bring me so much joy. When your dog stays with me, my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I work from home and have flexible weekends, so your fur baby won't be left alone for long stretches. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Every dog is different, so their routine can be tailored to their individual needs and what they’re used to at home. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and well-being always come first. Your pet will be cared for in a quiet, calm home with minimal traffic, creating a peaceful environment where they can feel at ease. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets and homes, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care. I will respect your dog’s routine, be attentive to their individual needs, and provide plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Willow had the best time with Shelby and her pup Ellie. Instant best friends. I felt totally confident that our 4 year old dog was having a vacation all her own the entire weekend. Lots of time outside, on walks, playing, and snuggling. 100% would recommend and feeling so happy we have a go-to sitter :) thank you guys!”
“Yukia did a great job with Blaze!!! I could tell my pupper loved being with her and her wonderful family!!! Highly recommend!!! She constantly updated me with how Blaze was doing with pics!!”
“Bailey was amazing. I spent a lot of my life overseas, so, my two pups are my world. She would send pictures everyday of them in the park and playing. When I picked them up I could easily tell they had been treated well and were happy. Bowie and Harley (two Germans Shepherds) had no tummy issues, I know they weren't stressed and felt safe. Will definitely be reaching out to Bailey again the next time I need for someone to hang out with the girls. Thank you again Bailey!”
“Candice was amazing with my dog, Nagi. This was the first trip my family and I had taken since getting her, so leaving her with someone new made us a little nervous at first. We chose Candice based on her profile and reviews, and she absolutely did not disappoint. My family and I were able to fully enjoy our spring break trip knowing our pup was in excellent hands. Candice provided lots of updates with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected to Nagi while we were away. Nagi decided she didn’t want to use the stairs for the first few days of her stay, but Candice was incredibly patient and treated her like one of her own pups the entire time. She even carried Nagi up and down the stairs until she felt comfortable enough to use them like she normally does. Halfway through Nagi’s 1 week stay, she started having an upset tummy. Candice went above and beyond by picking up medicine for her, feeding her boiled chicken and rice, and taking care of multiple accidents when Nagi couldn’t make it outside in time. Candice also has a pup of her own, Rayne, which made Nagi’s stay even more fun. It was clear Nagi had a wonderful time and felt comfortable there. When we picked her up, she looked so happy, relaxed, and content, which told me everything I needed to know about how well she was cared for. If we ever need a sitter again, I would absolutely book with Candice again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Laura was so amazing and great with Wilfred, she was in constant communication and my dog seemed very happy and well taken care of when I picked him up afterward. Would highly recommend!!”
“Riley was an outstanding sitter for our pup! He is a blind 10 yr old and she took the best care of him. She gave us updates throughout his stay and I really appreciated the pictures. If we’re ever in the area again, I would definitely trust Riley and she is our go to.”
“OMG! Marta is awesome. Prince enjoyed his time with Marta and Lucas. Marta sent pictures and updates on Prince every morning and every evening. Prince came back home well rested and relaxed and ready to go some more. I highly recommend Marta to take care of your fur baby. Marta is sensational, wonderful spirit and personality.”
About: As stated, I have an 8 almost 8 year old German Shepherd myself. I’ve trained him myself to be quite obedient off leash, to listen well, and overall he’s very well behaved. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, turtles and more so I know my way around animals. I’m currently enlisted in the United States Navy. I work at the Naval Academy typically from around 9 in the morning to about 3pm most days. I’m also married with two kids and my wife is a stay at home mom who can also look after your furry friends as well. I don’t work weekends so I’m always available during the weekends and can be flexible throughout the week as well. At my home my dog is never crated he is always out and house trained. However, when looking after your fur babies if they need to be crated I have no issue catering to your needs. I don’t have a yard but we have a massive field and live in a circle so long walks are always a must. Whatever the needs of your fur babies, I can take care of those from daily dog walking, spending and playing time with your animals, staying over night at yours/my place, and giving g medicine if needed.
“Hester was absolutely wonderful! Sent us updates on our boy while we were out of the country and shared about all the fun he was having. Would definitely rebook and recommend!!”
“Michelle was truly a blessing to our family. I’m usually nervous about leaving Simba due to his allergy issues however, Michelle was very reassuring and put my mind at ease. During Simba’s time with Michelle she kept in daily communication and sent me the cutest pictures of Simba which I very much appreciated. I’m so glad our path crossed because Michelle will definitely be our go to sitter for Simba!!”
“Sarah was amazing! She and her family took great care of our fur baby, and kept us updated the entire weekend. She sent lots of photos and was very responsive to my messages/questions. We highly recommend Sarah!!!!”
“Kimberly and her family were fantastic. My dog seemed super happy during her stay. I received a photo and note every night. I will definitely be booking with them in the future.”
“Very pleasant and inviting! Cared for my big boy Adonis like he was her own. I really appreciated the video and photograph check-ins throughout his stay with her. It was definitely comforting with it being my first time leaving him with a sitter. I definitely recommend her home and her care for your fur babies!”
