Also, he was quick to respond to any texts I sent to him.”

“I can’t say enough good things about the care my Duchess received from Lingli!! From the moment we arrived, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind and welcoming, and I truly appreciated the daily photo updates—it made being away from Duchess so much easier. Lingli's patience and flexibility, especially with my changing schedule due to meetings, meant the world to me. It’s rare to find someone who is both professional and genuinely loving toward pets, but she’s exactly that. Highly recommend!”
“WOW! We emailed Shannon at the last moment because we were passing through Baltimore (on our way up to Canada) and needed a place for our dog to go for a few hours while we checked out the Aquarium. Shannon was incredibly kind and helpful, and even took our dog on a long walk through the woods to make sure he was good and tired for our long car ride that afternoon. When we pass back through, she is our first call!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for cats, fish, birds and dogs. I currently am a dog mom to a collie chihuahua mix and a cattle dog . I work from home with flexibility to come take care of your pet morning noon or night! I am usually able to accommodate your pet needs whether its early morning, daytime or evening. I am capable of walking dogs and putting on leashes and crating animals. I am capable of giving pills to pets and currently give one of my dogs a pill 2x a day. I have a fenced yard and take opening/closing the gate seriously and always avoid having an escape artist. Each pet in my care is treated as if it was my pet.

They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them.

One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”

About: This young adult is filled with energy, patience and love! I have owned a dog since I was a child and tried to open a mini petting rescue zoo in my moms barn . It worked until I had to actually adult and pay my own bills . I love giving one in one attention and healthy treats . My availability is flexible due to working around my human patients . I value bedside mannerisms and do believe they don’t just apply to two legged friends. I have been known for my cautious and preventative decision making skills ! My temperament is easy going but firm because if not, all paws will break loose! Seriously , I would have 100 dogs at home if possible. I am currently working part time and from home . I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and love deserving ! I have a mini fenced in area in my back yard that my own pup adores. It is just enough space to get the job done and provide leg room. I live in walking distance to three huge parks, and on leash we will have a wonderful time.
About: I have cared for cats and dogs for years. I rescued one cat to later find out she had seizures. She got proper treatment, love and attention, and lived to be fifteen. I am retired and available days, evenings, weekends, and most holidays to meet your pets needs and your schedule to keep on your pets routine. I have a medium size backyard with shade trees and room to play. During bad weather I use the basement for play time and activities.
“Thank you James and Mary for watching my pups at a last minute’s notice. I appreciate your updates throughout the day. The pups told me they had a wonderful time! Wendy T”
“Being a travel nurse is sometimes a little more difficult with a dog, finding new dog sitters for George in a new city can be hard since I work 12 hour days. Veronica and Caleb have been extremely understanding and flexible with drop off and pick up times. They are great with communication and send updates/pictures of George frequently. I couldn’t have found better people to take care of him in Baltimore while I work. Extremely grateful for all they do!”
