“Liz and Jeff C provided outstanding and caring support and boarding for my senior Samoyed Sooki. There is not enough space here to describe everything they did to support Sooki and our family. Sooki has substantial and sometimes unpredictable health challenges. Liz, Jeff , and their sons provided EVERYTHING Sooki needed and more.”

“Emily was great and took excellent care of my two cats while I was away! They were very communicative throughout the entire time and they followed all of my instructions exactly as requested. I really appreciated their reliability and attention to detail. I would definitely trust them again in the future.”
“Although I ended up having to cancel my trip so Ashley/Olivia didn’t end up doing the drop in visits, Olivia was great at the drop-in visit I scheduled before our trip! My chinchillas took to her immediately. Gus, our fiestiest boy, happily accepted cheek scritches from her and another one of my chins even let her pick him up :) That says a lot about how she interacts with animals because as prey animals, trust doesn’t come easily to chinchillas. She also asked a lot of important questions about their care which I appreciated. She was super responsive and flexible about when I came to pick up my key from her. I would feel at ease with her taking care of my pets the next time I need care for them!”
“Aaron was very responsive and the initial contact with my puppy and cat was warm and welcoming. Stella my Maltese took to him immediately. We will definitely use Aaron for all of our future pet care needs.”
“James is the most awesome person! We were really apprehensive about hiring outside care for our Maxx because of prior negative experiences. I shared this with James at our first meeting. He was very empathetic and I could see how Maxx really took to him. His first week of drop-in visits with Maxx went very well. Let me say that we are so grateful to have James! He is very thorough and so loving to Maxx! He carried out all of our instructions precisely, and went the extra mile. James did drop-in visits for week while my family was on vacation and I felt very confident leaving Maxx in James's care. You can rest assured that your pet is in very caring and capable hands with James! I really can't thank him enough. Also, knowing that Maxx was able to stay at home where he is most comfortable took such a weight off of our shouders. I sincerely appreciated all of the daily updates and photos which reassured us that Maxx was in great hands. James is really awesome!”
“Clarice was wonderful! Always quick to respond to messages, followed all instructions, sent lots of photos, and kept me updated every day. Will definitely be requesting again!”
“Melissa was fantastic, going above and beyond to make sure my two boys were taken care of. I will definitely try to book her again next time I need the cats taken care of. Thank you so much!”
“This was my first time using Rover & first time using someone that was family/friends to watch Elli. Couldn’t have asked for a better choice than Nia! She was exactly on time with each visit and sent the best pics. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I have grown up with a family dog and developed a strong love for animals. For the past 2 summers, I have cared for my neighbors four dogs, providing walks, feeding, and playtime. My experience has taught me to be responsible, attentive, and trustworthy while making sure pets feel safe and happy. I am currently working part-time while balancing school and lacrosse, but I have set windows of free time each day that make it easy to schedule walks, drop-ins, or playtime. Since I enjoy staying active, incorporating dog walks and pet care into my weekly routine is a natural fit. Availability (subject to change during lacrosse season, but I always keep my calendar updated): Monday: after 12:30pm Tuesday: after 2pm Wednesday: 1pm–4pm Thursday: 9am–11am, after 4pm Friday: unavailable Weekends: vary with lacrosse games, but generally available after 12pm when free I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether at my home or yours, I follow all feeding and medication instructions, supervise playtime, and keep pets out of any unsafe areas. I love giving pets attention, exercise, and lots of love while their owners can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

“Liz and Jeffery were amazing sitters for my sweet Sadie. I was in the area for work and found them to watch my dog during the day. They went above and beyond to make sure that Sadie was comfortable and well taken care of while I was at work. They truly treated Sadie like she was part of their own family. Sadie was always so happy to go to doggy day care in the morning. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely book with Liz and Jeffery for any type of care they provide.”

Our pup comes home every day happy and tired, and is excited to go back in the morning. Naya is so attentive, caring, and loving to our pup and we feel so lucky that we found her!”
“Teddy had a fabulous time at Lynn's. We were visiting Columbia to attend our grandson's graduation and we needed someone to take care of him for the day. Teddy is used to having a lot of love and attention and we were a bit nervous about leaving him. However, Lynn made him feel very comfortable, provided a very dog-friendly environment, and sent us pictures throughout the day. He was not even very excited to see us when we came to pick him up. He said "hello" to us and then ran right back into Lynn's home. Highly recommend Lynn. You will have peace of mind knowing that your dog will be in excellent hands”

About: I’ve owned cats for 30+ years. I helped care for a family dog in my young adulthood for 4+ years. Our family just started dog sitting for friends when needed and all parties involved adjust well to bringing new pets temporarily into the home. Even though we do not have our own dog we love and enjoy dogs. We are flexible with the type, age and size of dog. My kids and I love going on walks and being out in our big back yard. Having a dog join us for these times just makes it even more enjoyable! We understand that a pet is a part of the family and therefore we will treat your pet like part of our family for the duration of their stay. I am a stay at home mom. My schedule is flexible and we are usually not out of the house for more than a couple hours at a time and this is just occasionally. We have an excellent yard that any dog would go crazy for. I have young kids who will love on and play with your dogs. I am happy to go by any instructions you give me on how best to care for your pet. I am flexible in my schedule. I am a stay at home mom. This allows me to be available for your pet and their needs. We will treat your pet like they are part of the family while they stay with us. My kids and I will engage with them throughout the day by playing outside/inside and going on walks.

About: With a deep passion for animal welfare, I have developed a lifelong affinity for dogs. My household has always included at least one dog, and I have gained extensive experience in caring for them throughout my adult life. My children, now adults, grew up in dog-friendly households and have continued this tradition with their own families. I strongly believe that a home is incomplete without the companionship of a four-legged friend. I am well-versed in handling various breeds and sizes of dogs. Your dog and I will enjoy exploring the neighborhood together, discovering new sights and smells. On occasion, we may visit our local Starbucks for a pup cup treat, with your prior approval. We may also take a stroll through the nearby park, weather permitting. I understand the importance of providing dogs with opportunities to experience new environments and sensations. My ultimate goal is to ensure that your dog remains comfortable and stress-free at all times. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a meet and greet. I am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to provide pet care services for your fur babies. On Sundays, I am available anytime after 12:30 p.m., following church services. My residence features a fenced yard, providing a secure environment for my five pets. I diligently supervise them, limiting their time alone to brief intervals. We participate in regular walks, adjusted according to weather conditions. I prioritize their comfort, avoiding walks in extreme temperatures and taking measures to protect them from the elements.
“Shane & Brittany did a great job with walking and caring for my dog while I was away on a work trip. My dog requires extra attention (and understanding) which was handled well and made me feel at ease being away from her. I would recommend them to care for anyone’s dog. The daily reports and photos were also appreciated.”
“Cin and Aaron have been so helpful with my dog’s midday walks! From the pictures and updates sent during their visits, in addition to my dog’s temperament when I get home from work, I can tell they’ve been taking good care of my dog and making her happier all around.”
“The dynamic duo! Ashley and Olivia walked my little Lady for me during the most difficult time for me. I hurt my back, with pulled hamstrings and lumbar muscles. I needed a trustworthy, pet knowledgeable person to come to my aid. They were friendly, gentle and Lady just loved them. Thank you Ashley and Olivia!”

“OMG!! Lanese was a last minute lifesaver before my trip! She was very thoughtful and accommodating towards the task of daily walks for Max. Lanese was always on time and made sure she thoroughly fulfilled the walk. Her daily communication while I was away gave me assurance. She is a 10/10 and I definitely recommend her for any one in need of her services! Will definitely call on again in the future! Thanks so much!!!”

About: 🐕 About Me Hi! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with over 10 years of experience in military contract service, now balancing life as a law student and dog lover here in Maryland. I specialize in structured, loving care for busy families who want more than just a quick walk or check-in. Think of me as your pet’s second home—where routines are respected, details are never missed, and your dog is treated with patience, affection, and intention. As a mom-minded caregiver, I naturally tune into behavior, energy, and comfort. Whether your pup is playful and high-energy or needs a calmer, more reassuring presence, I adjust to them. Pet care is my morning noon and night , if not my big guys , then most definitely someone’s needs a walk or rub. This is my passion, your buddies have my undivided attention I have two fenced areas available for running and play, as well as our location provides to dog parks within close range. A Normal day we attend the dog park twice, morning and night, followed by a mid-day walk and lots of lazy couch snuggles. Our home is a place to come sit stay and play for a while🐾♥️ 🧐should you stay a while? We do have two kennels for sleep if your buddies are down with sharing . Couch is first come first served, all paws welcome..
“Tiffany was able to meet with Gibson prior to the booking and seemed to respond well to her! He looked very happy in all the pictures I was sent throughout the week and she was super adaptable to his changing needs.”
“Sabine was amazing! It was the first time I used her and would highly recommend her. She took care of my senior dog that’s 14 years old. On the day I was leaving for vacation, I discovered my little pup was getting some swelling below his eye which was growing in size noticeably before leaving. I made an emergency apt for him to be seen at the vet and Sabine was so flexible to take him to and from the vet apt. He went home on medications which she was administered. After a few days he had to go back for a tooth extraction. Unfortunately, my trip was extended and I was really worried how this would all work with not being home while my dog undergoes surgery. Sabine made herself available to take him for his second trip to the vet for his surgery. She managed his medications, gave me thorough updates and really was compassionate for my little pup to help him on his way to recovery. I can’t express how grateful I was to have found her. I was at ease knowing she was there with my little guy while I was away.”
About: I have provided housesitting services and cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, and other animals for over 10 years for family, friends, and my own pets as well.

I listen to the pet owners needs and rules, and any concerns they may have for how to care for their pet and adjust my plans accordingly.
“Kaitlyn is super exceptional and awesome! I reached out for an initial request and interview with a set schedule. However my schedule was wacky and I needed more than what I asked for and Kaitlyn helped me out with no issue! Kaitlyn also has shown my Ella so much attention and love within their first week together and I love that! Kaitlyn has gone above what I could have expected and I so grateful! She is a jewel and you won’t be disappointed!!!!”
