“Lamar and his family are absolutely amazing! We found out at the last minute that our Airbnb didn’t allow pets, and I was devastated trying to find someone I could trust to care for my little guy. From the moment we met Lamar, he made us feel so welcome and immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout Gus’s stay, he sent us photos and updates, which meant so much and reassured us that he was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s clear that Lamar is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely loves animals. I am so grateful we found him, especially on such short notice. I highly recommend Lamar to anyone looking for exceptional pet-sitting services. We will absolutely choose him again whenever we’re back in Ocean City. I only wish he lived closer to us!”

“This is the first time we boarded our golden doodle, Saylor. He loved staying at Daniela‘s for the weekend, and playing with her dogs!

I’m sure you will see Saylor again!”
“I’m very happy with the care provided by Megan. She’s very much in tune with dog personalities and likes/dislikes. She has a young daughter who is also in tune with dogs and is a good playmate. Megan was flexible and responsive with communications, sending pictures. I’d be very comfortable asking for help again in the future.”

She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”

Live in Ocean Pines or thereabouts? Irena is the perfect person to take in your beloved while you’re away!”

“Carlie was amazing with our Binx! Our feeder went offline and she went into action! She posted photos and followed up with us to make sure we knew we didn’t have to worry. Can’t recommend Carlie enough!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, growing up with them and now caring for my own 10-year-old cat, Winston. I understand cat behavior, routines, and the importance of a calm, gentle approach, especially for shy or independent personalities.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Aneta take care of my cat while I was away, and I couldn't be more pleased with her services. From the moment we made arrangements, Aneta was incredibly warm and caring. Throughout my time away, she kept me informed and checked in regularly, providing updates and pictures of my cat. This communication truly eased my worries and made me feel much more comfortable about being away from home. It was clear that Aneta has a genuine love for animals and treated my cat with kindness and attention. I felt so lucky to have her as a pet sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re considering hiring a pet sitter, I highly recommend Aneta, you won’t be disappointed!”
“Lucia is obviously an animal lover. She visited Mac a few times before we left so he would get to know her. He’s very shy but eventually came out and sat on the couch, a big step for him. My home was in perfect condition when we returned. My mind was at ease the whole time we were away.”
“Carla is so gentle with Leo and sweet. She truly has a heart for animals and I feel so blessed to have found her. Leo and I look forward to Carla assisting us in the future.”
About: I rescued my first cat when I was 3 years old. My neighbors actually found her in the woods and knew from frequent conversations that I'd been praying to God that he'd give me a kitty. Sure enough, he provided. I got to love that cat for 17 years before she passed. In that timeframe i rescued several other cats too! Having owned five cats myself, I am very familiar with different temperaments and can provide a unique experience for any feline friend as needed.
About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for my whole life living on our 50 acre family farm. We have horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish! I take care of all of them and provide them with a loving and enriched environment. I can’t wait to meet your best friends, or have them for a visit!
“Dina was amazing! Ours was a very last minute request and she was incredibly accommodating on such short notice. She took excellent care of our golden doodle puppy and we could tell that she really cares! She was very responsive and provided updates often during/after her visits. Highly recommended Dina!!”
“Zelle was tremendous! When we first met she put me at ease right away, so friendly and asking such good questions. She really wanted to understand our dogs differing needs. During our absence, she checked in at our agreed upon times and sent lovely pictures at each check-in. It was such a comfort to know my fur babies were cared for so lovingly. Will not hesitate to call on her again.”

“Megan was great with Ember! We were down for a couple of days on vacation and she was incredibly flexible with us which made it so much easier! We were able to take Ember places dogs were allowed, but were also able to go and do our own thing with the help of Megan! Will definitely be visiting her again when we come back in the fall for vacation!”
“Margit and Bill are the best!! They went on bike rides with my active dog and treated her so well! They are very kind and great communicators. They loved my dog so well and went above and beyond in every way. I definitely recommend them!”
“I am in town trying to relocate and my dog Kona started having anxiety when I left. Since I am staying at my sisters condo I couldn't leave her howling. Irene quickly answered my request and took great care of Kona. She sent me pictures throughout the day of Kona just chilling. I am very happy and will use her again.”
“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”
About: Growing up in a home filled with the joyful barks of dogs and the gentle chirps of a parakeet, my love for animals started early. For over a decade, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from playful pups and curious cats to turtles and farm animals. My passion doesn't stop at basic care—I'm an adventurer at heart and love taking dogs on outdoor escapades. Whether it's a leisurely walk through the park or a thrilling hike in the hills, I'm here to ensure your furry friend gets the exercise and excitement they crave (couch potatoes welcome too) and treat them like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work remotely with only an occasional in-office day (about once a quarter), so I’m home most of the day. I only leave briefly for the gym or occasional errands, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like family and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular photo updates for owners. My friendly, fully vaccinated dog enjoys having canine visitors, and introductions are always done safely.
“She did amazing with our little pupper. We were nervous because this was our first time away from him, however he felt right at home — even took him on several beach adventures. She put our mind at ease and sent several pictures of him enjoying lots of cuddles and love from Joanna. Would definitely use her again if we were to come back to Atlantic City.”
“Bella loved her stay and playing with John' pup Maddie. John was awesome! Bella took right to him and he was very attentive to Bella's needs. Bella is older and suffers from kidney disease but that did not deter John. I definitely recommend John and will be using his services in the future.”
“Samantha was everything and MORE we could have ever asked for! She was very reassuring and eased all of our nerves as anxious dog parents! She gave several updates and treated our pup as her own. We will definitely use Samantha again when we are back in the area!”
“Our dog Kayla had a wonderful day with Jaclyn, her dog Riley and the other guest dog. And Jaclyn was very flexible and responsive while we finalized our plans. We will definitely reconnect next time we visit Acadia. Dave and Margo”
“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”
“Daniel was amazing. Ralphie felt comfortable and at home. He walked in like it was his own house and felt love. Would 10 out of 10 recommend and probably plan to have Ralphie come back. Got constant updates and pictures looking very happy.”
“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”

About: Hello my name is Amanda. I provide in home, private pet care. I do drop ins, walks, daycare, overnights at my house, and even pet transportation. I don't take more than one families pets for overnights. So not to mix too many personalities. It's safer that way in my opinion. I have had pets and loved pets my whole life. I owned a pet boutique in west ocean city and Cambridge for 9 years. I loved meeting all the pets/breeds and learning all about them. I like to meet with owners before each visit to make sure we are a good fit and i know whats expected. I learned alot about different breeds and served all types of animals having my own store. The best thing I learned from my experience as a pet owner and store owner is that all they want is love and they will give you the same in return. Check out my page out on fb @ OCMD Pet Nanny. I am available any day of the week. For daily or weekly stays. Also 30 min drop in visits to just let your pet out and feed them. I am very flexible with my time and reliable. This is my primary job so your pet will not be left alone long if any. You can rely on me to be there for your pet and keep them safe while your away. I have a house in berlin, about 10 min from Ocean City, MD & have a fenced in yard. Your pet will be leashed at all times while outside with me. Also very safe community I live in. I will not crate dog unless destructive or the owner prefers it. I like to treat your pet as I do mine. Pet sitting is currently my full time job. So I will be taking the best care of your pet. I am very flexible and reliable. I have a fenced in yard but always keep dog on leash for safety. You can trust me that your pet will be safe & happy during their stay!

I go on walks with my own dog and play fetch daily! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly black lab to keep your pup company! There is also plenty of room for space if needed.
“Thank you Irena for working our pup into your schedule. Irena made us immediately comfortable that she would keep the pup happy while the humans were enjoyed festing over three days.”
About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for my whole life living on our 50 acre family farm. We have horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish! I take care of all of them and provide them with a loving and enriched environment. I can’t wait to meet your best friends, or have them for a visit! Pet care is my greatest passion and second job at home. I spend my mornings out in the fields with my horses and cows pitching hay, mucking stalls, and cuddling in the grass. I spend my evenings snuggled up with my 3 hound dogs on couch or landscaping my reptile and fish tanks for fun. I am open to the needs of all pets as I know people do things in their own way. I will carefully follow the instructions left by the client.

I am currently working a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of opportunity to find a time that works to take care of your pet! I have my own transportation and a flexible schedule, so I am perfectly comfortable popping by to take care of your pet. I don’t have any dependents, so if overnight stays are what you need, I am happy to do that too! I keep a tidy house and tidy pet :)

About: Rover takes so much of the income - high prices can be negotiated down! I do this regularly and have been for many years! Contact me ! Dog trainer/ care giver 🖤 At home I have two large breed dogs, and one cat who are my absolutely life! In my spare time I am always walking in our local town and doing training sessions as training is my passion! Throughout the week I am nanny- however I was previously for the past 3 years a full time dog trainer at Shore Dog training and a vet tech at Berlin Animal Hospital 🖤 I work consistently 8:30 -5:30 MON - FRI my schedule is incredibly flexible so 3 walks and let outs are always easy to do! As I do not have a fenced in yard, I do heavily rely on taking animals out and about. I do have a crate in my vehicle, because safety is my upmost importance! When we do go out and about, I tend to walk around town and well-known areas! I do not allow off leash dogs or on leash dogs to meet client dogs as It could be a safety concern. However, if the owner is not comfortable with field trips, I do offer different types of enrichment throughout the day kongs, lick Mats, ect as well as a large play area for both cats and dogs at my residence. For more info contact me ! Along side field trips/ outings and enrichment opportunities I offer structured play sessions and LOTS of belly rubs ! I will also do some grooming if you would like!
