“Kelly and Maurice were fantastic from pre-booking to pickup! I had extreme anxiety leaving our pup Penny for the weekend l, but they made me feel so comfortable. They set up a zoom meeting to introduce themselves, share their love for dogs, and explain their boarding practices. This immediately alleviated my concerns. Drop off was easy and seamless. They shared photos, videos, and updates throughout Penny’s stay. Our pup was so happy in all the images and was very clearly well taken care of when we picked her up. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Mady is AMAZING! She helped us out in a last minute pinch and made sure our pup had a fun, exciting day. She sends lots of pictures and gave Kiko lots of love! Thanks, Mady!”
“Shuling was very attentive and kept in contact with us during Gizmo’s stay. We received several photos throughout the weekend. With Gizmo being blind, we are always concerned for her safety but Shuling set our minds at ease. Will definitely use her again when we come to Annapolis. 🥰”
“I cannot thank Crystal enough for the excellent care and compassion she provided for my 18-month-old dog, Mr. Biggs, during his first-ever overnight stay away from me. I was just as anxious as he was, but she went above and beyond to ensure we both felt comfortable. He was squirming and crying when I dropped him off, but she quickly managed to calm him down after I left. Throughout the stay, she sent me pictures and videos, which really helped put my mind at ease. My dog usually refuses to eat when I’m not around, but she even got him to eat the next day! This was an amazing experience for both of us, and I’ve already booked his next stay. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby!”
“Donna was very accommodating. I initially had to change my booking and then I had the wrong time entered in for drop off. She did her very best and took them earlier than planned to help us make our flight. My Lab had also recently had surgery between the time I booked and dropped off which then required him to take medication and to be watched extra since he really doesn’t like the bandage and hates the cone. She was very responsive when I checked on them and sent pictures. Would absolutely use them again. Thank you again for taking good care of our fur babies.”
“We couldn't be happier with Ms. Sabrina's care for our two pampered pups! She went above and beyond, providing thoughtful and attentive care. We received regular updates and photos, which truly put us at ease. It was a huge relief knowing our older dog's medication schedule was perfectly maintained each day. And, of course, the ample hugs and cuddles she provided show her genuine love for animals. We wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Sabrina for any dog owners seeking exceptional care.”
“Team Hopkins are truly a blessing! I can leave Chloe and know that she is in good hands. They take such good care of her and are very accommodating. I was able to to go on my trip and not worry about my Chloe and that means the world to me. Thanks sooooo much Team Hopkins!”
“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”
“Carlie and her family could not have been more loving and attentive. Arlo probably wanted to live there forever. She was incredibly kind about a mistake I made on pick up time.”
“Jackalyn was so wonderful with our dog Ruth! She provided amazing daily updates and was so flexible when our flight was delayed. I would highly recommend Jackalyn!”
“This was my first experience with a dog sitter. I could not have left my dog in better hands! Lots of updates, pictures and even a video were sent to me. While I expected my dog to be a bit depressed in my absence, Alicia filled my shoes perfectly. My dog took to her and her family right away. She took my dog on lots of walks and gave her lots of cuddles ...honestly - she did more than I do. Alicia has a nice backyard in which dogs can play. I definitely will use Alicia again if I need a dog sitter.”
“Katelyn provided the most amazing care for our puppy!! He was spoiled with multiple walks, many treats, and tons of snuggles while we were away for a long weekend. He became friends with their sweet husky as well. Can’t wait for him to stay with her family again soon!! Thank you!!”
“We're always a little nervous dropping Echo off somewhere new, because she is high-energy and a puppy. Turns out our worries were unfounded, as Sandra and her family were absolutely amazing with Echo! She was super tired and we could tell she'd had so much fun. They treated her like one of their own dogs, made sure Echo was getting along with everyone, and even took her on a short field trip! Sandra kept us informed and was very communicative, which we loved. You can tell she's had a lot of experience with dogs, and we appreciated that she asked about Echo's schedule, allergies, and so on. Flexible with a last-minute time change at drop-off, which we appreciated. 100% would book again and would recommend you do so as well!”
“This Tiko’s second time staying with Yousef and we couldn’t be happier, they are communicative and always send pics. Tiko is always happy when he returns and there is little to no anxiety. I can tell that he truly enjoys his time there!”
“Yukia, is a consummate professional! Her love for and experience with big dogs only adds to her being my go to care provider in my time of need! She is absolutely wonderful!! Thank you ma'am!! See you next time!!”
“As a repeat customer, I completely feel comfortable leaving my baby with Monica. She keeps me informed about every single detail while I'm away and sends a cute detailed "report card" every evening. Thank you, Monica! I truly appreciate you.”
“Branden did a wonderful job keeping my Siberian husky (Kobe) for a weekend. he forwarded photo updates to me while I was out of town. upon pickup, Kobe was his usual self, very energetic and tail happily wagging. if available, i plan to book Branden again in the future...”
“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.”
“Eli is so awesome! I had to change my schedule a few times and he is always very flexible!! My Skittles loves him so much!! Eli sent me plenty of pictures, he is definitely my first pick for sitting for my baby girl Skittles!!”

“This was Zulu's 1st "Dog Sitting" experience (mine too) and everything was amazing...... From our first Meet&Greet with Chelsea , her children and dog Lola to the end of the week.

“Elaine welcomed my Ziggy with open arms and heart. She is warm, friendly, loves dogs and treats them like family. Since being attacked by another dog at a dog park Ziggy has been anxious and nervous in different situations.

In my own life I have had and trained 3 puppies of my own (Tootsie is still currently in the training works).

I've worked with several different breeds of dogs over the years including pit bull mixes, pugs, labs, retrievers, beagles, great danes, etc. I currently am taking some time off from working as a Senior Accountant so have availability all day everyday for the most part, when im not spending time with my pets and hubby that is. 🥰 When I do drop in visits I follow what is requested for dogs regarding feeding time/walking habits. I normally talk to them because well idk, I talk to my pets because thats what you do as a pet person. 😂

“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!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes.

Friends and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets before starting my full-time role in July.

About: Hello! My name is Iyana, and I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up around pets of all kinds. My family taught me how to properly care for animals and read their body language, which has helped me build calm, trusting relationships with them. I began pet sitting in high school while extended family traveled for vacations and work, and I’ve continued ever since. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds, and I’m comfortable with dog walking, daily visits, potty breaks, feeding, medication routines, litter care, and maintaining schedules. I also offer overnights, extended stays, and around-the-clock care when needed. I’m attentive, reliable, and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to connecting with you and caring for your pet while you’re away! Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine. I’m flexible, dependable, and organized, with strong time-management skills, so I’m able to consistently meet pets’ feeding, walking, medication, and check-in schedules.

I ensure timely feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and a clean, safe environment while giving pets consistent attention and comfort.
About: I’m a college student and dog lover with hands on experience caring for my own dog, Sasha. Taking care of her has taught me the importance of daily exercise, patience, consistency, and paying attention to a dog’s needs. I’m reliable, active, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during walks and visits. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule over the summer and am available most weekdays and some weekends for dog walking and pet care. I’m able to do morning, afternoon, and early evening walks depending on the day. I’m reliable and will always stick to scheduled times, and I can be flexible with advance notice for recurring walks or one time bookings. I prioritize safety, trust, and following each owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets are secure on walks, stay aware of surroundings, and are comfortable at all times.

I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, reinforcing training routines, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. What sets me apart is my focus on consistency and communication. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, pay close attention to details, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or structured routines, I adapt my care to match their needs and help reduce stress for both pets and owners. I am currently a junior at covenant college studying biology. I plan on applying to med school and becoming a doctor in a field where I can be an asset in medicine. I am currently a Vet Tech at Great Scottie Veterinary Clinic. I am a lover of animals and will do all that I can to provide the joy and satisfaction your pet needs! I take safety and trust seriously when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, and routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure pets are supervised, kept in safe areas, and never put in situations that could be unsafe. In my home, I keep a clean and calm environment where pets have fresh water, regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. I always use leashes on walks and make sure dogs are secure when outside. In a client’s home, I respect their space and try to keep the pet’s routine the same as usual. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind.
About: I have helped take care of my dog for the past 5 years, along with occasionally taking care of and walking friends and families pets for years! I’m recently graduated from Jacksonville University, and am living with some family in Edgewater this summer! While I plan for grad school, I’m nannying, but am looking for some extra money and thought taking care of some pups would be perfect! I’m very flexible and am available most weekdays and weekends this summer. I will not be able to boards your pups, but am an extremely responsible 22 year old, who will play with and give your pups all the love!
About: As a pre-vet student with hands-on experience from a dog hotel and lifetime of pet care, I offer more than just sitting. I'm skilled in senior care and puppy training basics, and my experience breeding crested geckos and caring for birds and cats gives me a deep understanding of diverse animal needs. I'm dedicated to providing informed, attentive care. Being a UMD student allows me to provide your dog with consistent, attentive walks throughout the day. I'm passionate about giving them the exercise and companionship they deserve, right here on campus. Whether in my home or yours, pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean and secure environment, free from hazards. I strictly adhere to all feeding and medication instructions, and I'm vigilant about monitoring pets for any signs of distress. When walking, I use a secure leash and harness, remain aware of surroundings, and avoid busy roads. I prioritize building trust with both pets and owners through clear communication, reliability, and genuine affection. I understand the importance of routine, and I strive to minimize stress by maintaining consistency. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a loving and safe environment
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and previously worked in a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m experienced with dog walking, safe leash handling, feeding routines, medication administration, and recognizing signs that a dog may not be feeling well. I’m especially comfortable with large and high-energy dogs and always use a patient, gentle approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll treat them like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. During the week, I’m available all day, which makes dog walks and drop-in visits a great fit. Spending time with animals is something I find both fulfilling and rewarding, and I love being able to provide pets with attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I take a patient, gentle approach and pay close attention to each pet’s body language and personality, whether they love attention or prefer their space. I also make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise and enrichment, and lots of love. Regular updates and photos are always provided so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: 15+ years of rescue work and fostering dogs/cats. Over 1000+ Fosters and boarders. Experience with all different ages, breeds, medical issues. Able to handle a large pack and individual needs I have flexible hours and can be there for all your pets needs on a case by case basis. I have a very structured routine. Safety is key, walking the property daily to ensure no escape routes and doing door/window checks to keep everyone safe. Keeping their routine as close to normal as possible is key to happy pets.

“Mady is AMAZING! She helped us out in a last minute pinch and made sure our pup had a fun, exciting day. She sends lots of pictures and gave Kiko lots of love! Thanks, Mady!”
“Donna was very accommodating. I initially had to change my booking and then I had the wrong time entered in for drop off. She did her very best and took them earlier than planned to help us make our flight. My Lab had also recently had surgery between the time I booked and dropped off which then required him to take medication and to be watched extra since he really doesn’t like the bandage and hates the cone. She was very responsive when I checked on them and sent pictures. Would absolutely use them again. Thank you again for taking good care of our fur babies.”
“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”
“Carlie and her family could not have been more loving and attentive. Arlo probably wanted to live there forever. She was incredibly kind about a mistake I made on pick up time.”
“Jackalyn was so wonderful with our dog Ruth! She provided amazing daily updates and was so flexible when our flight was delayed. I would highly recommend Jackalyn!”
“We're always a little nervous dropping Echo off somewhere new, because she is high-energy and a puppy. Turns out our worries were unfounded, as Sandra and her family were absolutely amazing with Echo! She was super tired and we could tell she'd had so much fun. They treated her like one of their own dogs, made sure Echo was getting along with everyone, and even took her on a short field trip! Sandra kept us informed and was very communicative, which we loved. You can tell she's had a lot of experience with dogs, and we appreciated that she asked about Echo's schedule, allergies, and so on. Flexible with a last-minute time change at drop-off, which we appreciated. 100% would book again and would recommend you do so as well!”
“Yukia, is a consummate professional! Her love for and experience with big dogs only adds to her being my go to care provider in my time of need! She is absolutely wonderful!! Thank you ma'am!! See you next time!!”
“Branden did a wonderful job keeping my Siberian husky (Kobe) for a weekend. he forwarded photo updates to me while I was out of town. upon pickup, Kobe was his usual self, very energetic and tail happily wagging. if available, i plan to book Branden again in the future...”
“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.”
“Chris was awesome! He provided regular communication and updates. He also treated my pet like his own. It was clear that Chris gave Ziggy great care and attention. Thanks!”
“Kiki is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She always keeps me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gives me so much peace of mind while Kylo is with her. She’s incredibly understanding and flexible—especially on the days when I’m running behind schedule—and her kindness and loving energy truly shines through in everything she does, especially with fur babies. I love that she provides regular feedback on Kylo and truly pays attention to his needs. She even takes him on walks with her pup, Skittles, which he absolutely enjoys! Her home has a dedicated doggie room, and the pups get both indoor and outdoor access, giving them a comfortable and fun environment. I can’t recommend Kiki enough. She’s truly the best! ✨”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Sorry the late review. Bria was great with my puppy. This was the first time that I use this app and sitter so I was nervous, but Bria kept me posted to see how my puppy was doing and she sent videos on how my puppy is doing, so I felt at ease. Most definitely would recommend Bria to anyone and I will be using Bria again if I need a sitter.”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“We usually board our dogs with our Vet but they were fully booked. We decided to give Rover a try. Jessca made our first experience a great one! We received updates, videos and pictures. Jessca was fantastic to work with. We highly recommend and would definitely use her boarding services again in the near future.”
“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Aleah was great with our senior pup. She sent photos and communicated wonderfully. The house is clean and dogs are super friendly! We will be booking again! Thanks again!”
