“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”
“Kelly and Maurice make Zoey feel like part of their family. We received videos and pictures multiple times throughout the day during our travel which really put us at ease. We can’t wait to use Kelly and Maurice during our next vacation.”
“Shuling is a wonderful sitter. She sent photos everyday and my dog looked very happy at her house. I'm so happy we can rely on Shuling to provide our pup with a safe, warm and relaxing place when we are out of town!”
“This was Balee's first boarding stay with Mady. She and her family were Ah-Mazing! I felt bad leaving because of an ear infection that he was diagnosed with a day before our departure. Balee received lots of TLC during his visit and Mady kept me updated about his adjustment daily (which was comforting).”
About: Hi, I’m Diana! I’m 27 years old, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My passion for pets began at just 4 years old when I started helping my grandmother breed, care for, and train her puppies. Those early experiences taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and treating every animal with love and respect. Throughout high school, I worked at both a pet store and a grooming salon, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve continued to expand my knowledge and have extensive experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and cats. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special feeding schedules, reinforcing basic training, and providing individualized care for pets with medical or behavioral needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience, dependable nature, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives you peace of mind while ensuring your furry family members are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ll be attending school full-time with classes Monday through Wednesday at 2:00 p.m., Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, including morning, evening, and many daytime visits depending on the day. I’m looking for a way to help provide for my family while doing something I’m genuinely passionate about. Caring for animals has been a lifelong love of mine, and being able to spend my time walking dogs, caring for pets, and giving owners peace of mind is incredibly rewarding. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing them with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own pets. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, medications if needed, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I make sure pets receive the exercise and mental stimulation they need while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I believe communication is important, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I also treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. If caring for pets in my home, they will have a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they can receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and get fresh air while being supervised. I understand that every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to their specific needs, whether that’s caring for an energetic puppy, providing gentle support for a senior pet, or giving extra patience to a shy or anxious animal. My goal is to ensure every pet feels happy, safe, and cared for, just like a member of my own family.
“What a lovely experience working with Beth. She put our dog at ease and gave her an active, nurturing stay. I really appreciated Beth's flexibility when we needed to modify our pick up times. Looking forward to working with Beth again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Diana completely spoiled my pup! Absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of photos of my dog frolicking on the beach and running around her big backyard. She came home rested and recharged like she had been on a five star vacay. Happy pup, happy mom!”
“James was fantastic with Lenny. We did a meet and greet so Lenny could get accustomed to the house. James has an amazing backyard and played lots of fetch with Lenny. We received lots of photos and updates, and Lenny came home happy and tired (and a little sad about having to leave James’ house). We absolutely would book with James again!”
“Lynette and Vincent went above and beyond for our senior dog. They showed so much compassion and kept us updated. Thank you! Our younger pup always loves playing with Simon and friends during his stay.”
“Helen took great care of our Great Dane Zeus! Highlights of his stay include frequent updates with pictures, very clean fenced backyard and above all her warm & caring personality. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you Helen!”
“She was very nice and friendly. This was taz’s First time without us and he did amazing . She sent updates, videos and pictures and he looked so happy. I would highly recommend her if you need a dog sitter . I give her 5 stars”
“Michelle was great with our dog Bernie! It was nice to see pictures of him playing with her family and other dogs during his stay. Would definitely recommend to others!”
“I’m so thankful that I found Onayda and thankful for Rover as well. Unable to take Kenzzington on my long distant trip, I felt 100% confident that he was in great hands with Onayda. I got pictures and videos and I must say that Kenzzington was living his best life. I’m looking forward to booking with Onayda again in the near future. If you haven’t booked with her yet, then what are you waiting for??? Your pets will thank you ?.”
“Denise was absolutely fantastic. Our dog Winnie had a blast with her doggo. Denise was very responsive to any messages, sent daily pictures, and overall was great. Will definitely use her again for boarding as we travel!”
“This Tiko’s second time staying with Yousef and we couldn’t be happier, they are communicative and always send pics. Tiko is always happy when he returns and there is little to no anxiety. I can tell that he truly enjoys his time there!”
“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!”

I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.”

“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.”
“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!!!”
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.
About: I'm a very energetic person so I will always play with the pets and I'm always making sure they are well looked after. I have taken care of plenty of pets aging from young puppies and kittens to older. When taking care of cats I have plenty of toys and things for them to climb on. I have also taken care of pets that have special needs. Like diabetics and other things. I know how to give medications oral and in shot form. Special skills would be probably that I can keep up with any animal and I love all of them. They put a smile on my face. And I love seeing owners with the same smiles. It warms my heart every day. ? I'm usually free most of the day and love cuddles and walking with the pups and kitties. So scheduling will be easy and always available. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat that love others. We can play and go for walks. Also tons of activities to do.
“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!”
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 always had a deep love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. As a pet parent myself, I know that pets are family, and they deserve care that feels safe, loving, and personalized. My experience includes caring for dogs in a home environment, supporting daily routines, providing walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and giving pets the patience and attention they need while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, habits, and care instructions so their routine feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I am also the founder of Lovebugs & Co. Pet Care, a boutique pet care service created for pet parents who want reliable, thoughtful, and loving care. My approach is calm, attentive, and detail-oriented. I believe in clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet with the same care and affection I would want for my own. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I currently work from home in a flexible remote environment, which allows me to be present, attentive, and available throughout the day. This makes it easy for me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and a calm home environment. Because my schedule is flexible, I can build pet care around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent attention and care while their family is away. Safety, trust, and comfort are very important to me. For pets cared for in my home, I provide a calm, cozy, and supervised environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest time, medication instructions if needed, and any special care notes provided by the pet parent. Before boarding, I like to learn about each pet’s personality, behavior, comfort level, triggers, and routine so I can make sure my home is a good fit. I keep the environment clean, peaceful, and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident while they are away. For walks and drop-in visits in a client’s home, I treat the home with care and respect. I make sure pets have fresh water, food if requested, potty breaks, litter box care if needed, playtime, companionship, and a quick check of their overall comfort and behavior. I also make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure before leaving. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on a routine that feels familiar to them.
“Marta is wonderful! Finn had so much fun at her house and yard. She made sure that he would be compatible with the other dogs that were there and she sent me updates and lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Roxy had a wonderful time playing with Andreas and his dog Luna. She was reluctant to leave in order to come home. The rest of the day she was happy and tired. Andreas was very pleasant to deal with. His fenced-in yard is a big plus.”
About: Throughout this process I'm excited to meet all types of dogs! I love all breeds and sizes! Home is equipped with a secured 6’ privacy fence around approx. 1 acre for maximum play time or lounging. We have an almost 1 year old dog named Maggie who is very sweet, submissive, and loves to play and have doggie friends. Your baby will have a great time with us in our home! From training to loving and play, walking and feeding, it comes naturally to me and I can't imagine my life not surrounded by dogs or animals in general. You can count on me to handle any quirks, and treat your pet like my own - spoiled with scratches and belly rubs and play time! I work from home Monday through Friday so I will be very attentive to your pup for the full day they are here! We can coordinate many different drop off or pick up times to make it convenient for you I plan to make your dog, puppy feel as comfy as possible whether that means playing, cuddling, walking or being admired from a distance. I also plan to pay attention to all instructions provided and making sure you feel comfortable with me caring for your little love.
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“Kaci was amazing with woody! He loved her company and her dog’s too! They went on multiple trips for woody to play and have fun! We’re truly thankful and grateful for her hard and amazing dog! She was very communicative and very flexible during the whole time, she is phenomenal.”

“Jessica has been wonderful! I needed help on short notice for my energetic Staffy/Lab mix while I worked overnight shifts, and she exceeded my expectations. She was great with my dog from the very first meet and greet, and clearly has experience handling larger, high-energy dogs. She provided a full 30 minute walk, updates with photos, notes about the visit, and even tracked potty breaks and checked her water. Knowing my dog was getting exercise and attention in the middle of my 12 hour shift made a huge difference and greatly reduced my stress. Jessica has been reliable, professional, communicative, and caring. My dog absolutely loves her, and I feel completely comfortable having her care for my pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker!”
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.

I've been trained in cleaning, playing, monitoring play groups, feeding, and giving medication to all different sizes, breeds, and reactivity of dogs. I believe every pet deserve love and patience and I enjoy providing them with that. I also worked specifically with reactive/aggressive dogs for a year so feel free to reach out if you're dog needs a little more effort than most. :) I don't currently have a set schedule so feel free to reach out and we can figure out what works best for myself and your pets. I can walk, play with, feed, let out to potty, clean up after, and give meds to your wonderful pets depending on your needs. :)
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years, including having my own dogs. I am a travel nurse and I usually volunteer to walk dogs at shelters when I’m on assignment. I work full time as a nurse, but I only work 3 days a week. My schedule is usually free on the 4 days a week that I’m off of work. I am currently living in an apartment while on assignment in North Beach, Md, so I can only take car of pets in your own home.
About: I grew up with two dogs, a cat, and many fish! As an adult I had a cat and lizard who have sadly passed away recently. I now have a 2 year old German Shepard mix who is very fun and goofy! I love animals of all ages and sizes and often help out friends and family with watching their pets when they are out of town. I promise to take great care of everyone’s fur and/scale children! I am a teacher so I am off during the summer (starting June 16th) and have unlimited time for whatever your pet needs! Whether it is walking, feeding, and/or just spending quality time with them: I will be there! I am available to come to your home, and will promise to treat your home with respect! At my home I have a fenced in yard and a pup that loves making new friends!
About: I'm a very energetic person so I will always play with the pets and I'm always making sure they are well looked after. I have taken care of plenty of pets aging from young puppies and kittens to older. When taking care of cats I have plenty of toys and things for them to climb on. I have also taken care of pets that have special needs. Like diabetics and other things. I know how to give medications oral and in shot form. Special skills would be probably that I can keep up with any animal and I love all of them. They put a smile on my face. And I love seeing owners with the same smiles. It warms my heart every day. ? I'm usually free most of the day and love cuddles and walking with the pups and kitties. So scheduling will be easy and always available. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat that love others. We can play and go for walks. Also tons of activities to do.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for the last 6 years. I have had to feed, walk, scoop litter boxes, give medicine, and give ALL of my attention to them :) I have had a dog all of my life and have been around animals every single day. I will care for your for baby like my own. I will send pictures/videos to make you feel like you are there watching them :) I do have a full-time job, but it is remote, so I am very flexible. I do not have assigned hours, so I am able to care for your animal at any point of the day, whether be walks, or just stop in to say hey and play for a while! I will be able to care for your fur baby at your house making sure everything is cleaned up and safe for your animal. I am very accommodative and if you need or want anything else done just let me know!
About: Hello Furry Friends and Owners! I’m Emme! I’m a 23 year old grad student with a love for anything with four legs! I’m new to NYC but I’m not new to pet care. I started my journey with the SPCA in 2021 where I began my track in veterinary medicine, I continued at a cat cafe and became a volunteer specializing in cat care. I don’t study veterinary medicine anymore, instead I found my passion working with service animals and people with special needs! I still have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I’m an absolute sucker for watching speciality breeds I’ve never seen before. Although I don’t have many reviews on this platform- I’ve been running a pet care business solo for almost 3 years now and I’m always willing to provide further references! I look forward to meeting you and your pets as I start to walk around the city! Although I am a grad student. I have a lot of time during the day to watch animals. I just moved to the city and don’t have much else to do so I’m excited to spoil your pets with as much attention as they need while I have the time! I like to keep animals occupied! Based on the owners guidelines, I will keep the animal on their schedule, frequent walks, and lots of socializing if they need it (with people or other dogs if it is preferable). I enjoy giving the animals extra attention since they are away from their people so they feel more welcome. I like to stick to owners guidelines and provide extra stimulation to the animals that need it.

I am reliable, safe, and friendly with pets kinds but especially dogs. I am a current college student and in my time of break I have a pretty clear schedule. I am available everyday during the week and most weekends at this time until I go back to school. I can do anything requested from walking dogs to staying with them for a few hours.

“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”
“This was Balee's first boarding stay with Mady. She and her family were Ah-Mazing! I felt bad leaving because of an ear infection that he was diagnosed with a day before our departure. Balee received lots of TLC during his visit and Mady kept me updated about his adjustment daily (which was comforting).”
About: Hi, I’m Diana! I’m 27 years old, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My passion for pets began at just 4 years old when I started helping my grandmother breed, care for, and train her puppies. Those early experiences taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and treating every animal with love and respect. Throughout high school, I worked at both a pet store and a grooming salon, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve continued to expand my knowledge and have extensive experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and cats. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special feeding schedules, reinforcing basic training, and providing individualized care for pets with medical or behavioral needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience, dependable nature, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives you peace of mind while ensuring your furry family members are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ll be attending school full-time with classes Monday through Wednesday at 2:00 p.m., Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, including morning, evening, and many daytime visits depending on the day. I’m looking for a way to help provide for my family while doing something I’m genuinely passionate about. Caring for animals has been a lifelong love of mine, and being able to spend my time walking dogs, caring for pets, and giving owners peace of mind is incredibly rewarding. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing them with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own pets. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, medications if needed, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I make sure pets receive the exercise and mental stimulation they need while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I believe communication is important, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I also treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. If caring for pets in my home, they will have a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they can receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and get fresh air while being supervised. I understand that every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to their specific needs, whether that’s caring for an energetic puppy, providing gentle support for a senior pet, or giving extra patience to a shy or anxious animal. My goal is to ensure every pet feels happy, safe, and cared for, just like a member of my own family.
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“James was fantastic with Lenny. We did a meet and greet so Lenny could get accustomed to the house. James has an amazing backyard and played lots of fetch with Lenny. We received lots of photos and updates, and Lenny came home happy and tired (and a little sad about having to leave James’ house). We absolutely would book with James again!”
“Helen took great care of our Great Dane Zeus! Highlights of his stay include frequent updates with pictures, very clean fenced backyard and above all her warm & caring personality. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you Helen!”
“I’m so thankful that I found Onayda and thankful for Rover as well. Unable to take Kenzzington on my long distant trip, I felt 100% confident that he was in great hands with Onayda. I got pictures and videos and I must say that Kenzzington was living his best life. I’m looking forward to booking with Onayda again in the near future. If you haven’t booked with her yet, then what are you waiting for??? Your pets will thank you ?.”
“Denise was absolutely fantastic. Our dog Winnie had a blast with her doggo. Denise was very responsive to any messages, sent daily pictures, and overall was great. Will definitely use her again for boarding as we travel!”
“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!”
“Tiffany was very responsive when something was not right with one of our dogs during the boarding and went above and beyond trying to help. Her responsiveness allowed us to address the situation promptly.”
“I hate to let you in on this secret - Marta is wonderful! Lincoln had the best time staying at her house and playing with her dogs. She is thoughtful, very caring, and ensured he had the best time away from us. I can’t wait to book with her again!”
“WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.”
“Antavia was so great! Penny really had a good time and was well taken care of. I’m always nervous when I have to leave her but Antavia put my mind at ease. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I provide loving care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors, with experience in training, special needs, and making every animal feel safe. As a retiree, my days revolve entirely around the animals in my care. They receive my full attention, love, and time—morning to night, every single day. I live in a safe, animal-friendly waterfront neighborhood with very few cars and plenty of space to play. Pets enjoy walks to nearby parks and, for water-loving “babies,” splashing adventures at the bay—all in a calm, welcoming environment where they’re treated like family.
“Megan did an amazing job taking care of our dog for the week! She sent daily updates and gave him lots of love. We are so glad we found Megan and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Jessica had my puppy for a full week. She was great with communicating and sent us a ton of pictures daily. it was great to get the daily updates, especially since it was our first time leaving our pup. Will definitely book again for future trips!”
About: Throughout this process I'm excited to meet all types of dogs! I love all breeds and sizes! Home is equipped with a secured 6’ privacy fence around approx. 1 acre for maximum play time or lounging. We have an almost 1 year old dog named Maggie who is very sweet, submissive, and loves to play and have doggie friends. Your baby will have a great time with us in our home! From training to loving and play, walking and feeding, it comes naturally to me and I can't imagine my life not surrounded by dogs or animals in general. You can count on me to handle any quirks, and treat your pet like my own - spoiled with scratches and belly rubs and play time! I work from home Monday through Friday so I will be very attentive to your pup for the full day they are here! We can coordinate many different drop off or pick up times to make it convenient for you I plan to make your dog, puppy feel as comfy as possible whether that means playing, cuddling, walking or being admired from a distance. I also plan to pay attention to all instructions provided and making sure you feel comfortable with me caring for your little love.
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.
