Personalized care for your dog or cat - Stevenson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Stevenson
“Our dog is very shy with new people but she warmed up to Diana and her whole family pretty quickly. Baylee very much enjoyed her stay with her almost as if it was home!”
“They were very accommodating to a last minute request! The communication was fantastic and thorough. We got a lot of great pics. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely use them again in the future.”
“Casey and Marwa are the most accommodating and caring dog sitters, we have ever had. They do their best to keep with the routines that Indiana knows and then add extra long walks, treats, brushing, playing, and lots of love. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly. On top of that, they are super-flexible with drop off and pick up times and took Indy in on very short notice. Will definitely be back”
“Mila is absolutely fantastic!!!! This was Fluffy's second time staying with her. When Fluffy saw her he was wagging his tail non stop and was totally comfortable at her place. Thank you Mila!”
“Nicole was an amazing host! She took loving care of our dog and sent frequent updates & photos. We will definitely trust her with our dog again if the need arises.”
“Jesse had a blast! Felice and husband are very accommodating and friendly. Thank you for taking care of my baby for the night with such short notice!”
“Unlike previous stays at kennels Gator came home happy and relaxed. Steven was in contact with us constantly sending text messages about his daily routine and photos. He was thorough in the screening process to ensure that Gator would be a good fit. We will be using Steven again!”
“Brittanie and Ryan took great care of our dog, Gunnar! They sent pictures of him every day. He was a happy dog. Their family was very welcoming and easy to work with. We would definitely use them again!”
“This is the third time our dog has stayed with Theresa and each time it’s clear that she has been well cared for. Theresa is very communicative — she sends updates and photos each day. She is also very flexible. Would definitely recommend Theresa.”
“Aida was a wonderful sitter and my dog had a great time with her! He enjoyed time spent in her large yard, many walks, and an overall comfortable stay. She shared frequent updates and pictures, and was happy to adapt to my dog’s routine and quirks. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy my trip, knowing my dog was in fabulous care.”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“I was impressed how Sarah kept me abreast on how my dog was doing and with pictures. That made it more personable and helped to relieve any anxiety I had being away. She showed that she cared and that meant a lot. I highly recommend Sarah for boarding needs.”
“Chris is a very attentive person. My fur baby was feeling under the weather when I left for my trip. She provided him with some TLC and he was back to his energetic self.”
“We’ve always had great experiences with Lingli! Our dog is always so happy to see her, which says a lot. She takes great care of her, and I always get plenty of updates while we’re away, which gives me peace of mind. We really appreciate how well she cares for our dog and would definitely recommend her!”
“Danielle was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog during his overnight stay. She was attentive and sent me picture updates frequently. I would definitely book her for another stay.”
“Ariel is amazing with my dog - Fluffy. Fluffy seems to really like her and is very happy to be dropped off there. I trust Ariel completely and highly recommend her!”

“Emily was wonderful to work with. She came and met our pups to make sure it would be a good fit for her, as well as for us and our two pups. This was my first time using Rover and the process was easy, and Emily was great! We will definitely use her again!”
“Quinn is a sweet person and a loving animal sitter. She seemed very trustworthy too. My poor kitty has PTSD and suffers from nervousness and Quinn had him on his back submissive showing his belly the day after I left.🐈 I wish I could use her again but she will be in college for my next vacation. She also has a professional camera and sent me amazing pics of my little man the 4 days I was gone. 💙”
“Ashley does a great job of taking care of our senior cats. She does well with communicating with us when things pop up. She sends thorough reports with plenty of pictures of our cats. We have used her services before and both times her services have been great!”
“Karenna did a great job at cat sitting while we were away, we couldn’t have left her in better hands. While our fluffball is very shy, she did her best to try and bond with her. Eventually got to pet her! Definitely would recommend.”
“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.”
“Riley was awesome! She came over a few days before to get the lay of the land and attempt to meet my cat (she hid and I still have no idea where she was hiding). Suzie did eventually warm up to Riley and even sat in the same room as her! I will be using Riley again!”
“Joshua was wonderful, he was timely, communicative, and our shy kitty absolutely loved him. If you are looking for someone dependable who loves your pet he is the one!”
“Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!”
“Christine came when she said she was going to and spend time with my cat. She wasn’t able to see my second cat, but that was to be expected. She showed me pictures of my one cat and I knew that he was getting attention. She was reliable and I would definitely use her again. Thank you, Christine.”
“10/10 absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Came home to the happiest, calmest kitty that has ever been thanks to B. Normally when we come home Carson is very unhappy with us but this time he was calm and unbothered. Every day, twice a day, I received great, detailed updates with pictures of Carson playing and being the most enriched and spoiled baby there ever has been. Moving forward I won’t ask anyone else to care for my three animals besides Bito. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more caring person to care for my furry orange child. Even my plants got watered :’). Thank you SO much!”
“I had the pleasure of working with Casie sitter for my cat, Storm, and she was absolutely phenomenal. From the start, she was well-prepared and proactive in her approach to caring for Storm. Her communication was clear and consistent, and her knowledge about cat care was evident throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing Storm was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Casie to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter—I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“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.”
“Trevor was absolutely wonderful! He put so much care into updating us and sending us photos! He made our cat very comfortable and was sure to play with her lots. He allowed us to enjoy our vacation without being anxious about her. Would absolutely have Trevor do drop in visit again!”
“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. :)”
“Chelsea was amazing! She was reliable, responsive, followed instructions, caring, and prompt. I am super happy with my experience with her and plan on using her in the future!”
“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 ❤️”
“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!❤️”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Stevenson
“Love Rodney & Marissa, professional, provided clear instructions and they obviously love, love, love animals. My dog Bailey warmed up quickly and in every picture she was in full sprint, running leash free as she loves. She enjoyed the other dog’s company as well. Rodney & Marissa kept in communication with Bailey’s hovering Mom and Auntie. So happy and pleased with the service provided. 🥰🥰🥰”
“Kassie was absolutely wonderful! She accommodated us on super short notice after a last-minute cancellation and took amazing care of our pup who was in heat. She followed all recommendations & requests we left, and sent frequent updates and photos throughout our time away, which gave us total peace of mind. Her home is perfectly set up for pets, featuring plenty of toys, dishes, and a great fenced-in backyard for exercise. Thank you, Kassie, for making sure Shyloh was so well loved and cared for. We appreciate 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.”
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.
“Ken and Felice are awesome! Definitely going to book with them again! :) Amazing communication and planning. My pup had a cone and stitches so he couldn't be boarded at his usual place, so thank you again so incredibly much for coming through for me in a pinch! I'm infinitely grateful and will book again!”
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.
“Poppy gets excited to get to Crissy's house and enjoys her time with Dublin. Crissy is flexible on timing when I've bumped into conflicts, and adjusting recurring days.”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for the last 15 years. I have raised pets from babyhood to seniorhood. I'll love your pets as if they were my own. After 12pm, your schedule is my schedule. I'm free when you need me, generally within tree days' notice. I'll even water your plants. and feed your fish, if you have any. When I am sitting for someone, I'll fallow all your instructions. If they need special accommodations, I will abide by them. I'll make them feel loved.
“My pup, Yumi, had a great time with Melanie and her pup. It was our first time doing a daycare service with Yumi but Melanie was very attentive and sweet to my Yumi. She was also very accommodating when my schedule had to change a bit as well and i greatly appreciate that. I felt comfortable and safe leaving Mr fur baby in her hands and would definitely book again in the future.”
“Olga took such great care of my baby Remy! He is a very active dog and she took him on several walks and showed him so much love. He was totally exhausted when he came home and even slept in the next day, which I love. She was flexible too, as pickup details shifted during his stay. I would highly recommend Olga to anyone!”
“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.”
“Brianna was a joy to work with. We dropped our pup off in the morning and we were sent photos and updates which was wonderful. I strongly recommend Brianna if you’re looking for an engaged and thoughtful dog sitter. 10/10!”
“Shannon is such a sweet person as well as she is very flexible and communicative. She has been available for us in a pinch, takes good care of our pup and sends photos and updates even during short stays. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Brittanie and Ryan are amazing and caring couple. They have a lovely family and 2 beautiful dogs. We were made to feel very welcome in their house and they did everything they could to give Zoe a comfortable stay at their house. They are very responsive and communicate well. Zoe comes home happy after each stay at their house. We recommend them highly....”
“I really appreciate Robin for accommodating my anxious puppy during my visit to Maryland. She was incredibly patient and found safe and effective ways to manage my dog’s tendencies to try to escape due to her separation anxiety and kept a close eye on her, allowing me to attend my family's events with peace of mind. By the third visit, my dog was much more comfortable and playing with the other dogs. I look forward to using Robin's services when I am back visiting Maryland.”
“Leydis did an excellent job with my puppy. She kept me updated and sent pictures/ videos throughout the day. I could tell my pup had a great time with her! Highly recommend!”
About: I have had pets since a child (duck, rabbit, dogs, cats, iguanas) and just love them. I let dogs take their time when exploring and I don’t rush them unless I see that they have found a Scooby snack. Most dogs prefer to sit in my lap even when in the presence of their owner. They love me and I love them even the sassiest of them. I work from home which allows me to be available 24 hours a day. If your pet is a foodie, they will love it here (salmon bites, duck necks, chicken feet, ice cream, pup cups and frozen fruit on hot days). I will send an update the first evening and the morning after so you are certain that they have settled in. Thereafter I will send a picture or video daily but you are welcomed to check in at any time. My assistant Imani (my mom who lives with and assists with sitting), also enjoys loving on and helping with your babies. She may help with check in/ check out and walks. **I now have a cat and cannot accept dogs that aren’t cat friendly. I also cannot accept unfixed dogs and dogs that aren’t housebroken. I walk 3-5 miles in the morning and another in the evenings (less depending on the weather). I would love to take your baby along. I have a friendly dog. I use baby gates and can also crate your dog (you must bring the crate with you). They would sleep in my bedroom on the dog beds and have free range of the house (except the kitchen which has a gate up).

“Shelby was so nice and helpful, she send me pictures about Pisco and treat him very well, and follow all my instructions to take care of him ✨ I’ll definitely call her again in the future if I need more help with my pup ! Thank you so much Shelby!”
“Dimitri came over to walk my dog and he was always on time and very caring to my dog. He maintained active communication and took lots of pictures. He showed my dog a lot of tender loving 🥰.”
“Claire is great! This was my first time using Rover and she was super responsive, provided updates and was very flexible. She eased my worry of trying Rover. I highly recommend!”
“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 :)”
“Thank you so much for taking care of River once again. My dad called and told me how awesome you are. River can be a lot but he has taken to you and he listens! You always go over and beyond. Im also jealous of your picture taking skills while catching River in motion. Lol”
“Christine is great with the dogs. I needed help because I had foot surgery and can’t walk them, and she walked them when my husband went on a business trip. The pups were so excited to see her each day! We would request Christine again in the future”
About: Growing up on a ranch, I cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, horses, and exotic animals—so very little surprises me! 😊 Pet sitting was actually my first neighborhood “business” as a kid, which tells you this has always been more passion than side gig. Being away from home for school these past few years, I’ve dearly missed caring for animals— so this is my way of staying connected to something I love. I’m a naturally curious person and take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routines so I can give them attentive, enriching care while you’re away. 😊 I’ll be working remotely for the foreseeable future, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my day. I can accommodate different feeding and walking schedules, playtime, medication, check-ins, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since my work travels with me, I’m also flexible with longer stays and can be around much more than someone working outside the home. I know how important it is to trust someone not only with your pet, but with your home. I take both seriously and will follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine closely. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and secure. I’m also more than happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away😊
“Casie is so great!! She gives great updates. I know my pupper gets great attention and love, and is well taken care of when Casie is with him. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Julian has been working with my Max for only a short time and already they are good buddies! Julian is reliable and hardworking, he always walks Max a good distance and Max really looks forward to his time with Julian! We look forward to continuing our work with Julian!”
About: *UPDATE*- I am back at college so I am available around the Owings Mills area in MD! I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I currently have 6 cats, a senior dog and a fish named Pedro, after the infamous Pedro Pascal. I’ve dealt with animals healthy and disabled, I’ve also dealt with animals of all sizes including horses! I rode horses for 14 years of my life and I’ve dealt with animals as small as a fish. For $15 extra I can do a professional photography photo shoot with the pets and include 5 digital photos and 1 complimentary 8x10 print 😊 I am currently a Junior at Stevenson University, so the pets I sit need to be okay with being let alone for a couple of hours while I attend classes. I also work part-time as a student film worker at my university's equipment room, and that's about ten hours a week. I care for pets very cautiously. I love all animals and want to make sure all pets are happy and safe within the environment I create.
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.
“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”
“Great and reliable dog walking. He is great with communicating and answering any concerns you have while away. My pup loves him, and Curtis seems to genuinely enjoy their time together as well. I would recommend Curtis 1000000%”

“Fatty had the absolute best time staying with her family. He was showered with affection, got tons of cuddles, and even got treated to pup cups. He loved them so much and we are so happy he has an open invitation to return anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like family!”
“We have been using Ginnie & Steve for years! Our girls love them, and they always take the best care of them whether if it’s for a couple days or weeks long. Highly recommend them as Dogsitters :)”

“Ruth was extremely accommodating in helping our group last minute save a dog from a euthanasia list! We would not have been able to save this dog without Ruth providing a safe, comforting place for the dog to decompress and flourish. Ruth was great with communication and provided pics which helped us find the dog a full time foster. Ruth is amazing and I would definitely let her watch my dogs for me!”
“We just picked Coal up from a day with Rich. Appreciate having a safe place and someone kind and understanding to watch him. Will be booking with Rich again.:)”
“Ashley was fantastic, she sent photos or videos everyday and all of them showed the happiest dog ever!!! Would recommend highly and will go back to her as long as she’s available!”
