“James did a great job caring for Ellie! I feel confident she was well taken care of based on how comfy she looked in all the photos. He has a great location with his fenced in back yard and beautiful neighborhood for walks!”
“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 & Maurice took great care of my little again and he came home happy and worn out. They treated my Louie like he was one of their own dogs and sent me plenty of pics and videos during his stay. Will definitely use their services again in the future.”
“Beth is simply the best! She has provided loving and professional care to both our late geriatric Shih Tzu who had a number of health issues AND our new 5 month old Havanese puppy. Both dogs loved her! We have such confidence in Beth that whenever we need to go away, we can do so with confidence knowing our pup will enjoy her "vacation" too! We appreciate Beth so much and could not recommend her more highly.”
“Mady was wonderful! She welcomed Sydney in to her home and took her out for regular walks. She communicated regularly and showed great care and concern when Sydney happened to get a bee sting while outside. We plan on boarding her with Mady again!”
“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!”
“Amazing from the meet and greet and throughout the entire weekend stay. Michelle was very very communicative of what was going on with my pup. Would totally book again!”
“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.”
“Thanks for taking good care of our Murphy while we explored Baltimore for a bit. It was easier dropping him off instead of keeping him penned up in a hotel room not knowing how he’d be. Thanks so much!”
“Kevin was amazing! He was super responsive, caring and even sent me photos of my lab, Moon, every morning either playing or on a walk with him. When I picked her up, I knew she had been taken care of. I Will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Diana took such good care of Franklin for an overnight trip! She constantly sent me pictures which made me feel comfortable that I picked the right person to watch my dog. He was so tired when we got home so I know he got a lot of exercise in lol thanks again for taking care of Franklin! Would definitely recommend!”
“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!”

“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
“Antavia was amazing! She took very good care of my fur baby! Apollo definitely enjoyed himself and the environment he experienced! Definitely will use her again!”
“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!”
“We were pleased that Alicia was able to accommodate us in very short notice. Our dog Eli, although rambunctious, really made himself at home in her home. We enjoyed our updates through pictures and videos throughout his stay. Thanks for everything!”

“My cats love Courtney! Especially my super shy boy comes out of shell when he sees her. I’m super happy with her taking care of my two little ones, she spends quality time with them and doesn’t cut her visits short. I also really appreciate the detailed write up and the cute photos. Thank you, Courtney!”

It gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for. I hope that Leticia will be available the next time I need to be away from home for an extended period of time.”

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.

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.

“Bailey is terrific! She took great care of my fur baby…taking her for walks and dog park play. She shared many cute pictures and communicated regularly with updates. I highly recommend Bailey!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“If I could give Lindsay 10 STARS I would!!! If you're traveling to the Annapolis area and don't know who to trust with your most precious asset - your pup (this was me!) - choose Lindsay! As you can see from all of Lindsays reviews, she is amazing with animals - its in her heart - but what makes Lindsay stands apart is her responsiveness, her communication, her ability to work with your schedule. She is so kind, and loving towards your dog, that you can enjoy your time away with peace in your heart. Thank you for everything Lindsay! <3”
About: For 13 years, I lived in New York City, where I pet sat for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle senior companions. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. When I met my husband, we welcomed our own puppy, Suki, an Australian Labradoodle, into our family and completely fell in love with her. After getting married, we traded the hustle and bustle of NYC for the quiet waterfront community of Annapolis, Maryland, where I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinary technician (animal nurse). Beginning this fall, I'll be attending CCBC's Veterinary Technology program, where I'll be learning the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to care for animal patients and assist veterinarians. While I'm in school, I'm excited to continue caring for dogs in my community by providing a safe, loving home away from home. Suki also loves making new four-legged friends and enjoys the extra companionship! Beginning August 31, 2026, I will be attending veterinary technology school part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. My husband works from home full-time, so there will always be someone at home to care for and supervise your dog. We have no children—just one friendly Australian Labradoodle. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs. We live on the first floor of a luxury apartment community with a fenced dog park and a private street-level entrance, so there are no stairs or elevators for your dog to navigate. Our baby-gated, double-doored patio includes a grass potty area for quick bathroom breaks or house training when needed, and our neighborhood offers plenty of safe, grassy areas for regular walks. Our apartment is fully pet-proofed with covered and elevated trash, recycling & laundry, cordoned-off shoe areas, secured wires & cabinets. We walk our own dog three times a day—in the morning, afternoon, and evening—and can tailor exercise to your dog's individual needs. For walking multiple dogs at once, I like to use a heavy duty waist belt for safety. For puppies, we have an indoor playpen, pee pads, and plenty of hands-on experience with puppy care and house training. We also follow each dog's normal feeding routine and avoid introducing new foods, as our own dog, Suki, has a sensitive stomach and we understand the importance of maintaining a consistent diet. We enjoy positive reinforcement training and have taught Suki to sit, heel, and perform a variety of tricks. We primarily provide boarding and daycare in the comfort and safety of our own home, where your dog will receive personalized, attentive care. I also have the tools and experience to provide basic grooming as needed, and we take pride in maintaining an exceptionally clean home with regular paw and eye wipes, daily vacuuming, and a fully equipped pet spa for comfortable baths. The Bath & Basic Grooming add-on includes a shampoo bath, towel dry, blow dry (if tolerated), spray-on conditioner, and a light brush-out. Extensive de-shedding, de-matting, haircuts, nail trims, and ear cleanings are not included. As part of your dog’s daily routine, we’re also happy to brush their teeth at no additional charge (just provide their toothbrush and toothpaste). We brush Suki’s teeth every evening and know how important good dental hygiene is for your dog’s long-term health. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs.
“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.”
“Alex Z. was amazing! Very loving and caring while dog sitting for my 3 month old puppy. Her pets were loving and playful also. She took lots of pics and kept me updated with his activities throughout the day. Will definitely request her services again.”
About: I have many years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked in animal shelters and have been working at Beechnut Kennels for the past 3 years, caring for pets daily through feeding, exercise, playgroups, cleaning, and monitoring their health and behavior. I also foster cats and kittens and have experience with shy, fearful, reactive, and feral animals. I’m comfortable administering medications and using Fear Free handling techniques to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I truly love animals and treat every pet in my care like they’re my own! I currently work part-time at Beechnut Kennels, which gives me flexibility to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. I understand the importance of consistency and will always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With years of experience working in shelters and at Beechnut Kennels, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I have experience using Fear Free handling techniques, administering oral medications, and caring for shy, fearful, and senior pets. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and instructions closely to help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and pictures during every visit.
“Had work done to my home and my puppy needed a place to stay for the day. Bruno had the best time with Kacie. I received so many updates and photos. It was so comforting to know he was in great 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!”
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.
“Sofia was great! She sent lots of pics and updates, and I could tell my pup looked happy and relaxed for the weekend at her house. She was able to accommodate our last minute booking, and she was super flexible when we were a little late with our pick up time. Thanks Sofia!”
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've always been great with animals, able to read them and good at figuring out what they need. I volunteered at Animal Welfare League of Queen Anne's County for several years starting in High School. I've worked closely with large animals with behavioral problems, so I'm down the handle whatever quirks your pet has. My schedule is very flexible, and I can usually provide services as needed when given prior notice. Anytime of day as well, within reason ofc. I'm very adept at reading animals behavior and figuring out when they need attention, when they need space, and good at gaining an animals' trust.

“Alexa was fantastic with our fur babies as she was punctual and sent us pictures to ease our mind while away! She provided the best care and was so responsive, would highly recommend!”
“Mae is very reliable, punctual and takes great care of our dog Cannon on their daily walks. She is a great communicator and genuinely loves caring for our dog. I would highly recommend Mae for your dog walking/sitting needs.”
“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!”

I do also work at an organic farm in the mornings on weekends, but my afternoons and evenings are free! I’m looking to help out whenever and wherever I can. Able to wear them out with loads of play time or to just give them a good belly rub. Whatever is needed! I’m used to playing with a high energy German Shepard/Akita mix and a one year old Black Mouth Cur. Needless to say, I can hold my own against big dogs zoomies.

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: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I share my home with a calico and a tabby, and I’ve spent years living with a lab. I care for my sister’s tabby mix when she goes out of town. I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, and even worked as a dog groomer and at a dog kennel, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. On top of that, I actively volunteer at the SPCA in Annapolis, which keeps me connected with animals who need extra love and attention. I treat every pet like family, not just a job, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away Pet care is part of my everyday life. Between caring for my own two cats, helping with my parents’ lab, and volunteering at the SPCA in Annapolis, I’m used to fitting in feedings, walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout my day. Making sure animals feel loved and looked after is something I do daily, not just occasionally I care for your pets just like I do my own with love, patience, and attention to detail. In your home, I’ll follow your routines so your pets feel comfortable and secure, making sure they have fresh food, water, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. If they’re with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family, with a safe and cozy environment where they can relax and enjoy themselves. My goal is always to make your pets feel happy and cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
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 have taken care of dogs for the past 15 years, and am an avid dog lover. I am thrilled to sign up as a pet sitter and walker and enjoy time with new friendly faces! I am currently working as a part time pet sitter/walker while moving forward in my acceptance offer to BU to pursue an online masters program. I will be available Monday-Sunday any time to care for your pets! Safety is so important! I currently carry extra dog leashes, a harness if needed, dog treats, pet corrector spray, a safety back seat dog cover in my car. I know a few local dog parks that are fenced in, quiet and safe to play too. I know CPR and am happy to continue any training or routines your family conducts.
“Maddie is simply great. Kind and sweet to our elderly dog, Fizz. Taking care of her is a bit of a challenge and Maddie is on it with her meds and IBD issues and special food requirements. Thank you, Maddie.”
About: I have been rescuing animals of all kinds and nursing them back to health since I was a child,sharing my family's love of all animals. This has cultivated an understanding of various pet needs and behaviors. I am skilled at administration of medicines in a comforting,calming, and efficient manner. My long lived animals are a testament to my commitment to their care and well-being. I understand the importance of recognizing each pets personality as an important part of understanding their care and contributing to their happiness. I am looking forward to dedicating my time to the care of animals full time. I am available for all hours of care. Something I love. I prioritize safety and creating a comforting and secure space for pets to relax and play. I am comfortable with crating and confident with a leash with animals of all sizes.
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: 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 always been a big animal lover. I got my first dog when I turned 2 years old and did everything I could to help take care of her. I got another dog a couple of years later who became my best friend. Before I left for college he would come everywhere with me. I am now the happy and proud owner of a 6 and 12 year old cat and want to continue growing my pet family. In addition to growing up taking care of my own pets I had the responsibility of pet sitting for a lot of different families in my neighborhood. I have worked as a client service representative and now as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital and have been able to gain knowledge and experience about pet healthcare and wellbeing beyond the general scope. I will always do my absolute best to make sure your animals are happy and healthy. I love pets of every kind and would be happy to help you take care of yours if the need ever arises! I am currently a full time employee at an animal hospital. I would be available to do drop ins before and after work and am happy to do overnight visits as long as the owner is aware I will have to leave for around 8 hours to work. Establishing trust with a pet is the most important thing you can do to ensure they are happy and healthy. I will be sure to provide individualized care for your pet depending on their needs and temperament to ensure they are as mentally and physically comfortable as possible.

“James did a great job caring for Ellie! I feel confident she was well taken care of based on how comfy she looked in all the photos. He has a great location with his fenced in back yard and beautiful neighborhood for walks!”
“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.”
“Mady was wonderful! She welcomed Sydney in to her home and took her out for regular walks. She communicated regularly and showed great care and concern when Sydney happened to get a bee sting while outside. We plan on boarding her with Mady again!”
“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.”
“Kevin was amazing! He was super responsive, caring and even sent me photos of my lab, Moon, every morning either playing or on a walk with him. When I picked her up, I knew she had been taken care of. I Will definitely use him again in the future!”
“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
“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!”
“Roxie had a great time with Jake and Melissa. They sent me pictures of her which made my day. I did not have to worry about her at all which is so nice when being on vacation. Would absolutely use them again!!”
About: For 13 years, I lived in New York City, where I pet sat for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle senior companions. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. When I met my husband, we welcomed our own puppy, Suki, an Australian Labradoodle, into our family and completely fell in love with her. After getting married, we traded the hustle and bustle of NYC for the quiet waterfront community of Annapolis, Maryland, where I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinary technician (animal nurse). Beginning this fall, I'll be attending CCBC's Veterinary Technology program, where I'll be learning the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to care for animal patients and assist veterinarians. While I'm in school, I'm excited to continue caring for dogs in my community by providing a safe, loving home away from home. Suki also loves making new four-legged friends and enjoys the extra companionship! Beginning August 31, 2026, I will be attending veterinary technology school part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. My husband works from home full-time, so there will always be someone at home to care for and supervise your dog. We have no children—just one friendly Australian Labradoodle. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs. We live on the first floor of a luxury apartment community with a fenced dog park and a private street-level entrance, so there are no stairs or elevators for your dog to navigate. Our baby-gated, double-doored patio includes a grass potty area for quick bathroom breaks or house training when needed, and our neighborhood offers plenty of safe, grassy areas for regular walks. Our apartment is fully pet-proofed with covered and elevated trash, recycling & laundry, cordoned-off shoe areas, secured wires & cabinets. We walk our own dog three times a day—in the morning, afternoon, and evening—and can tailor exercise to your dog's individual needs. For walking multiple dogs at once, I like to use a heavy duty waist belt for safety. For puppies, we have an indoor playpen, pee pads, and plenty of hands-on experience with puppy care and house training. We also follow each dog's normal feeding routine and avoid introducing new foods, as our own dog, Suki, has a sensitive stomach and we understand the importance of maintaining a consistent diet. We enjoy positive reinforcement training and have taught Suki to sit, heel, and perform a variety of tricks. We primarily provide boarding and daycare in the comfort and safety of our own home, where your dog will receive personalized, attentive care. I also have the tools and experience to provide basic grooming as needed, and we take pride in maintaining an exceptionally clean home with regular paw and eye wipes, daily vacuuming, and a fully equipped pet spa for comfortable baths. The Bath & Basic Grooming add-on includes a shampoo bath, towel dry, blow dry (if tolerated), spray-on conditioner, and a light brush-out. Extensive de-shedding, de-matting, haircuts, nail trims, and ear cleanings are not included. As part of your dog’s daily routine, we’re also happy to brush their teeth at no additional charge (just provide their toothbrush and toothpaste). We brush Suki’s teeth every evening and know how important good dental hygiene is for your dog’s long-term health. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs.
“I am always hesitant to leave my dog with anyone, but Marta made me feel so comfortable and I knew Hibana would be in great hands! I knew from the moment we did a meet & greet before we officially did the booking. Helped me get to know her and her own two dogs and it was great! Hibana has the best 5 days there :) and I got pictures every day which made me feel better about leaving my dog lol. Hibana is an apartment dog so she was in love with Marta’s back yard. And since this is Marta’s full time job her attention was on the dogs all the time. Would 100% recommend. If I could give her 10 stars I would lol.”
“We highly recommend Candice! She will love your pup as her own! She took great care of our pup and sent lots of photos. She has a big yard and room for the pups as well! Our dog also has a bit of energy so it was perfect that he could play with her pup as well. He came home worn out and well loved!!”
About: While most of my experience pertains to cats, I also grew up with several dogs over my life! Most of them were larger breeds - labs, huskies, malamutes, dobermans and one carolina dog. I did train the malamute to pull me on my bike when I was a teenager, and taught the doberman basic obedience and good manners. I work from home/freelance, so my schedule is very open! In fact, I often find myself needing to get the heck out of my house! My own home has a fenced in yard (4ft high chain link, so if your pet is a jumper, this might not be a good fit!) and I also own my home, so there'll be no issues with landlords or whatnot. I do also have three cats, so cat friendly pets are preferred if you're looking to board. If I am visiting or staying at your home, things will be kept neat and clean, and any and all instructions will be followed (same for if you board with me!)
“Andy was really great with Sherlock. I appreciated his methods to introduce Sherlock to the other dogs recognizing dogs have different personalities and needs. Andy provided daily photos and updates on how things were going which put my mind at ease. I could see Sherlock was being well taken care of and was having a good time. Andy clearly loves dogs and I would have him watch my dog again and recommend him to others.”
“Yukia did a fantastic job with our dog, Sammy! Communication regarding pickup and drop off was excellent and we got some pictures of Sammy on a regular basis. Would definitely book with Yukia again!”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
