“Steven was very attentive to the needs of my Aussie. He was very thorough in the meet and greet, and was knowledgeable about canine care and behavior. I was very comfortable leaving Whiskey in his care (I’m a very picky dog Mom!) and I picked up a happy, healthy dog after his stay. I would have no concerns leaving your pet in the hands of Steven. Thanks for a great stay!”
“This was our second stay, and my dog was not feeling great when I dropped him off. He required a little extra care, and it was such a relief to know he was in good hands. When I picked him up, he was definitely feeling better from the TLC he received!”

“Felice and her family were wonderful, and took such great care of our two little dogs! I could tell they had a good time from the photos I received. I would not hesitate leaving our dogs in her care again. Excellent experience!!!”

If you’re thinking about booking or even just browsing, DO IT. You won’t regret it!”

About: 13 years of caring for animals has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments and understand how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, playful, and dependable, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, potty, and bedtime routines so they experience as little disruption as possible. I’m available for pet care Monday through Thursday from 5:00–6:30 AM and 6:00PM–10:00 PM, with full-day availability Friday through Sunday. I work close to home, so pets staying with me can receive a lunch-break check-in during my workdays. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m attentive during walks and visits, keep pets supervised, and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands.
“I like the fact that Princess felt right at home with Cheryl and her family... I will be using Cheryl for my upcoming trips!!!! Hopefully she will not be booked lol!!!!”
“I have left Yoda with Lingli on multiple occasions when I'm out of town. My experience with her has always been great! She takes very good care of him and he is always happy to see her :) She is also very diligent at keeping me updated with photos which I greatly appreciate! I highly recommend her :)”
“Amazing sitter for my German Shepherd! I can’t say enough good things about Shakiyla! She watched my German Shepherd, Bucky, for 4 days and took such amazing care of him. Bucky can be a handful with his high energy and anxiety, but she handled him so well. At the last minute, we also asked if she could watch my mom’s dog, Kandi (a Husky/Shepherd mix), and she was more than willing. She cared for Kandi just as wonderfully, making sure her needs were met too. What really impressed me was her communication—she even put me, my mom, and my husband in a group chat so we all stayed updated. That way, if she couldn’t reach one of us, she could easily contact someone else. She went above and beyond by sending daily videos and pictures, which really put me at ease while I was away. On top of that, she shared some really helpful suggestions for Bucky that showed she genuinely cared about his well-being. I am so grateful to have found her, and I plan to book with her every time I need someone to look after Bucky. She’s the best!”

“Casie is the best. She is so reliable. She leaves detailed notes and cute photos that put me at ease while away from my fur babies. I know my cats are in excellent hands with her.”
“Aye did an amazing job with our 18-year-old, shy cat, Lila! We needed someone to watch her for four days, and Lila, who usually hides from strangers, shocked us by going right up to Aye when she first arrived. Throughout the weekend, Aye kept us updated with plenty of pictures, showing how comfortable Lila was with her. Aye truly is a cat whisperer, and it’s clear she loves what she does. We highly recommend her!”
“Ester was great with my cat, Charlotte. She stopped in a couple of times while I was traveling. I appreciated her responsiveness, reliability, and the level of care she provided. Would definitely book her again!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Bronte! When my cat got sick at the start of her stay, Bronte went above and beyond to care for her and ease my anxiety. She was highly responsive and sent daily updates, giving me total peace of mind. My cat can be wary of strangers, but she was quickly enamored with Bronte—purring and cuddling in bed in no time. Bronte is truly fantastic at what she does!”
“Claire was so great with my cat, Joseph. She responded on short notice and sent updates while she was caring for my pet. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”
“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“Erika was wonderful with my two kitties! They were going through a finicky stage so I had to transition them to a raw diet which was a bit detailed. Erika followed everything to the letter! I love that she sent me daily photos. It was very much appreciated! Thank you Erika for giving the love and care ❤️”
“Kaitlin dropped in on our cat daily while we were away. She communicated frequently to let us know when she would be coming and sent photos. She even went back to see our cat a second time on the first day because she didn’t realize there was a check in feature. We will definitely be using Kaitlin next time!”
“Christine took care of Widge while I had to be away for a few days. She was awesome and provided regular updates and photos, and took the time to make sure my kitty felt well cared for and didn't feel lonely. :)”
“Bito did an excellent job taking care of Sgt Pepper. My boy was happy and looked well taken care of when I got home. Excellent communication throughout my vacation.”
“Micah is so sweet and took such good care of my kitty, Mia, these last two weeks. She went above and beyond to take care of the house when Mia had an accident. Very responsive and lots of pictures with her report cards. Thanks, Micah!”
“Haile responded on very short notice and was great with my cat, Joseph. She sent photos and updates which made me feel very comfortable and gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter.”
“Bria was absolutely amazing with my girls! She was super loving, sat and played with them on the floor for the entire stay, cleaned the litter box, and was super flexible with last minute changes. I will definitely book her again ❤️”
“Angel is amazing! She communicates very well and swiftly. She pays attention to your dogs food and water intake. Will even go the extra mile by washing out the water bowl. A great sitter overall!!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been working with pets since I was 14. I’m passionate about helping animals and have experience supporting injured animals by getting them to rescues or helping care for them until they could receive proper support. I also have a dog named Oliver, who I adopted from a shelter 8 years ago, which has strengthened my patience and commitment to creating a calm, safe environment for pets. im full time in school at towson but my schedule is pretty flexible:) especially on the weekends or after or before classes im available completely I tend to be very cautious about who watches my dog because I care about him deeply and know he has a unique personality. Because of that, I’m always happy to follow any rules, preferences, or routines that help someone feel more comfortable. I truly understand how hard it can be to trust others with our fur babies, and I’m willing to go above and beyond to help create a safe, comfortable environment.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pikesville
“Shannon is amazing, Minnie and Joy love her! I am super happy with Shannon because she sends tons of pictures and treats my pups wonderfully!”
“My 6lb maltipoo Sophie LOVED puppy day care with Kelly. I recently moved and was nervous about finding the right care for Sophie. I initially booked one day with Kelly and immediately after the first day, booked the rest of the week! The communication throughout the days was fantastic and Sophie was so excited to return each day. It was very clear that Kelly is attentive to Sophie the entire day…. Walks, snacks, rest, playtime. Totally recommend Kelly! I will be a regular.”
“Rodney was pleasant to work with. We were sent pictures during the day of Milo playing. The visit also helped on socializing skills for Milo. Will use Rodney again.”
“My dog had a wonderful time at Brittanie and Ryan’s. They have two lovely labs and my dog had a great time playing with them. She was tired and happy when she came home. I would definitely recommend them for doggie daycare.”
“Kassandra was absolutely magnificent! Super kind, caring, and incredibly gentle with Chloe. I’m beyond grateful for the thoughtful, detailed care she provided. She’s truly a wonderful human, and Chloe already adores her. Thank you so much!”

“Milo was nervous when I dropped him off but he quickly adjusted. Thank you Phyo for caring for him and taking him for walks. I would definitely recommend as I see you have a gentle way with pets.”
“Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”

“Ken and Felice are awesome! Definitely going to book with them again! :) Amazing communication and planning.

About: Hi, I’m Haile! I’ve taken care of pets ranging from cats and dogs, to other animals. I love any and all animals and will provide attentive and gentle care to all pets that are in my care :) I’m a college student currently taking a break so I have full availability to work my schedule around for yours furbabies :) I am reliable with bookings and always will make sure your pets get the time, care, and attention they need during my stay! I have hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and other animals, so I’m comfortable working with animals of many different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve cared for playful pets, shy and anxious ones, and those who simply prefer a calm, predictable routine. For cats, I provide patient, low-stress care with attention to feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them the space when needed. For dogs, I’m experienced with walking, feeding schedules, play, and handling. I always focus on making pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their humans are away! Aside from cats and dogs, I’ve worked with other animals and feel very comfortable with any animal! I treat every pet like their my own and always pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and wellbeing so you can feel confident your pets are in good and loving hands!
About: I've been around and cared for dogs for years through my own pets and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and making sure dogs get plenty of attention while their people are away. I also genuinely enjoy walking! I’m already someone who gets outside for walks regularly, so your dog’s walk won’t feel like something I’m trying to rush through between other tasks. I’m happy to give them time to sniff, explore, get some exercise, and enjoy being outside. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated, and treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I work from home in the Baltimore area, which gives me flexibility during the day and makes me a great option for weekday walks and drop-ins. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions. During walks and drop-ins, I make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime and plenty of attention. I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s preferred pace, whether they love a good long walk or would rather take their time sniffing and exploring. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Our pup seemed to have a good time and we definitely recommend booking with Shatonia!”
“Davida was truly outstanding. She kept me thoroughly updated about Megaa’s stay. Should an opportunity present itself, I would absolutely love to have her care for my “snuggle buddy” again.”
