“Casey and Marwa were so great! After a thorough and thoughtful meet and greet, they watched my Lulu for the night while we moved. It was a great first experience leaving my pup with someone not family. They always make sure someone is home with the pups and sent lots of updates.

Lulu can’t wait to go back in a few weeks and I can travel easy knowing she’s being taken such good care of!”

She looked after my cat with such care and even made sure my plants were watered, which was a big relief.

Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter you can really trust!”

We highly recommend Erika and look forward to her watching our girl, again! ❤️”
“Brian really came through for us at the last minute!

About: I have over 10 years of experience as a pet sitter. I help watch my uncles 11 yo husky and my sisters 3 yo GS. I love dogs and cats. I love walks and jogs, I am a very active person. I work FT as a paralegal but my work schedule is very flexible and dogs can hangout at the office. It is a beautiful space in Clipper Mill in the Hampden area. I am in law school as well but I am very flexible overall. I have many referrals if needed upon request. I can host them in Roland Park where we have a nice fenced yard or at my apartment in Mt. Vernon. I work hybrid as a paralegal and have a very flexible job that allows me to be available for even last minute bookings. I am free most of the day and will work around client's schedules. I love to snuggle with pets, I love walks, I love playing with them, I love welcoming them into my home, I love different breeds, ages and sizes.
About: We have watched pets for many years and love to welcome furry friends into our family. We tend to shower them with a great deal of attention & TLC! 🫶 My spouse is home during the day and once our kids get home from school, your pet will enjoy even more love, playtime, and social interaction from our whole family. We offer supervision throughout the day, follow your pet’s feeding schedule, provide daily walks through our quiet neighborhood, and offer a cozy, clean indoor environment with plenty of love, play, and rest. Your pet becomes part of the family while they’re here.
About: I have cared for cats and dogs for years. I rescued one cat to later find out she had seizures. She got proper treatment, love and attention, and lived to be fifteen. I am retired and available days, evenings, weekends, and most holidays to meet your pets needs and your schedule to keep on your pets routine. I have a medium size backyard with shade trees and room to play. During bad weather I use the basement for play time and activities.

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.

“Suzanne F has been a wonderful dog walker. Penny is eager to see her every time she shows up at our door. We are happy that Suzanne can handle Penny's occasional hard pulling and takes her for long walks to burn off enough energy so that Penny can relax when she returns to our apartment.”
“Sam was highly reliable, showing up on time or texting us if she thought she might be a little late. Our beagle mix can be challenging on a walk because of her tendency to stop and sniff so many inviting smells in the grass. Sam just took it in stride. She obviously has a lot of experience walking dogs.”
“If you need a dog walker, look no further than Marina! I have been using her weekly for almost 4 years! She is kind, attentive, sweet, and both of my boys love her. My one Aussie gets so excited when the Rover app makes a pop sound when she arrives. All I have to do is say “Marina is here”, and he runs to the door with excitement! If there is one thing I am grateful for this Thanksgiving it’s Marina! Thank you!!!! 💐💐💐”

“Kaitlin arrived on time, took our dog out in this frosty weather and managed to get Bentley moving despite the snow and ice. She is very friendly, responsible and conscientious- I felt comfortable when I first met her and I’m very happy with the quality of her work.”
About: Throughout my life, I have cared for goats, cats (old and young), dogs (big and small), chickens, rabbits, and different kinds of rodents. I love all animals and treat other people's pets as if they were my own. I am experienced in administering oral medications, working with difficult walkers, and caring for anxious animals. I have one cat and one dog right now! I currently work remotely, so I am able to design my schedule around your pets' needs. I believe that pets thrive with a consistent schedule and will do my best to stick to your pets' schedule. All pets have social needs and activity needs. As a dog sitter, I will not just take your dog out for potty walks, but we will also go for sniff adventures, play fetch, and more. As a cat sitter, I provide as much attention as your cat is interested in. We can sit on the couch and cuddle or admire each other from a distance.
“Ugo does an exceptional job walking my pup (who apparently considers humans to be her butlers) and then watering and feeding her at the conclusion of the walk. She is very calm and gentle to which my dog responds well. She is definitely a dog whisperer. Highly recommend Ugo to care for your for babies.”
“Brian took great care of my girl, Lemon! He made sure the plan for Lem was super clear beforehand, which I especially appreciated since the schedule I gave him to complement my friend's visit schedule was not perfectly regular, and he didn't miss a visit! He also had to deal with a terrible cold spell, but when he couldn't walk Lemon for more than 5 minutes at a time (about all she can tolerate when it's that cold), he took her for two short walks to make sure she did all her business and then played ball with her in the house. We came home to a dog who, while happy to see us, was clearly doing just fine without us, which is all I can ask for :)”
“Maria really helped me out with my two dogs on very short notice. She was responsive and kind. Maria provided several pictures during the walks with realtime updates. I'd definitely trust her again with my dogs!”
About: I have owned my own kitties for 15+ years. I have also fostered medical and special needs cats and dogs for 3 years as well. I will love your babies like my own! I am currently not working so I am available full time. I do require 1 days notice for bookings and 1 day cancellation. However, please feel free to contact me to discuss specific times and details. I have a big 2 bedroom condo and 2 kitties who love other animals! I am also able to follow any crating instructions your pet may require.
