T W.

“When I picked Abby up she was relaxed. She usually cries for the first 15 minuets. I think she really enjoyed her stay with Megan and the kids. Thank you so much. It was so nice to go somewhere and know Abby was taken care of.”

Jamie H.

“Amazing! A home away from home for my fur baby, Shianne. Brooke is very attentive, knowledgeable, caring, detail-oriented with outstanding and professional communication. Loved the daily updates and pictures. Remy and Shianne formed the most adorable bond. Already looking forward to our next stay!”

Brooke O.

“She has a great setup for dogs. Country setting and plenty of room. Very accomodating in the care of Holly. Holly was able to stay outdoors in the shade or sun and come inside at night. Thank you.”

Nicole D.

“Brooke was OUTSTANDING with our pup! Daily updates with pictures, tons of lovings and cuddles, and plenty of walks while we were away. We brought home one very happy boy! I highly recommend her when you're in need of the best out there to take care of your fur baby!”

Bailee M.

“Valerie is such a kind and friendly person! She truly cares and is very attentive. From the photos she sent, my pups looked relaxed, happy, and completely at ease. When I picked them up, they were content—and totally exhausted, which tells me they had plenty of playtime and attention. I would absolutely recommend Valerie to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.”

Chriss M.

“Autumn was able to take my dog in incredibly last minute when the other scheduled sitter cancelled at the time of drop off and I needed to head to get a surgery! She took great care of my 90+ pound pup who made best friends with her dog.”

Mary T.

“Katie did an excellent job of entertaining the cats!”

Lindsay U.

“We just returned from a 10 day trip. Tara and Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were gone. As the other times we've asked them to check in on the fur brothers, everything was seamless. Great communication and timing not to mention all the photos they provided. It is hard to trust people to come into your home as well as be responsible for you pets well being, but we've really lucked out with Tara and Kathryn 😻”

About: Hello! I bring lifelong experience with pets, having grown up surrounded by dogs and eventually convincing my way into adopting a couple of cats too. These days, my hands are full with three wonderful children, but I’d love to extend my care to your furry family members. Whether your pet thrives on energetic play like ball throwing or prefers a calm, soothing environment, I’m happy to tailor my approach to their needs. And of course—daily walks are part of the package! Although I work full-time during the day, I have plenty of time to care for your pets on weeknights and weekends. Whether it’s supervision, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’m happy to be there for your fur babies. Pets in my care are treated like family. They have full access to my home and can enjoy a spacious backyard perfect for play, exploration, and exercise. Whether they love lounging indoors or running around outside, they’ll feel safe, loved, and right at home.

“Emily was amazing! So friendly and our cats all LOVED her, which is crazy because normally they aren’t all keen on new people. She was prompt and updated us immediately with several pictures and how they were doing. Thanks, Emily!”

About: I have been working with animals since I was young. I currently have 7 dogs. I groom and work with many breeds. I am trusted with dogs and cats everyday for grooming now I would love to add in walking and pet sitting. I currently work part time which leaves me the flexibility in the afternoon and evenings to walk and care for other pets. I am also available for pet sitting on most weekends and after 2 pm the week days! I have dog friendly pups that come with me to keep other pups entertained while in your home. They can be kenneled as well if needed.

About: Most of my friends call me an animal whisperer. I love pets and always have. Born and raised on a farm, animals are not new to me. I am pretty well versed in loving animals, as well as caring for animals as they deserve. I am currently home full-time, loving on my own 50 lb. Aussiedoodle, Hans. Hans and I would love to offer our spare time in support of your pet needs. I also am a guinea pig mom to 9 special guinea pigs! Animals are the way to my heart, and I can always make time for one more. Although it doesn't specify caged animals, like guinea pigs, I am happy to pet sit, board, or help with daily care of your caged pets. I do not currently have a fenced yard, but I live on open acres set apart from any close neighbors. Leashes can be used outside of the home to provide ultimate safety and security for your pet. I am always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

“Kara was very attentive to Sprockie's need and gave him time by being gentle so he could know her on his terms. Will use Kara again.”

Ruth G.

About: I started my dog watching journey when I was about 16. I used to watch a friend's dogs whenever she was away. Even when she was at work when her older dog was ill. I have a kinship with dogs like no other. It's only in the last 5 years that I've developed that with cats as well. I have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate any needs you have. I will update my calendar as to my availability at least every 2 weeks. I can accommodate 1 or 2 dogs only on the weekends. But, in your home I will respect everything. I won't mess anything up and if I do I'll return it better than I left it.

“Nice job taking care of our feline loveys.”

Anne D.

About: Your pets needs and comfort are top priority! I am a huge animal lover and have owned animals of all different breeds my entire life. I currently own 2 bearded dragons, rabbit, Chinchilla, 3 cats, a husky and fish. I grew up helping out on my grandpa's beef farm and then milking cows at my neighbors. I have also done pet sitting for friends and family. I have worked at a petstore and helped out at a Vet clinic. I am always asked by friends and family to watch their animals, which I love. When sitting for someone else I treat their animals just like my own and give them tons of love and attention, I also enjoy taking pics or videos to share with the owners and keep them up to date on what is going on.

“Great with updates and pictures! Took great care of my little one and kept me updated.”

Lily D.

“Becky was so wonderful! She stopped in twice a day to watch our cat Percy while we were away and she took great care of him. She went above and beyond, playing with him, sending updates, and gave us complete peace of mind that he was being well taken care of. Percy definitely misses her since we have come home, he seems even more playful after her visits. We are so thankful to Becky and highly recommend her!”

Claudia M.

About: I am very playful with pets, they will have my full attention. They will get all the kisses and hugs they want. I will treat each pet as if they were my own. I am a very responsible person and if given the change you will see that. I just moved the Baltimore area and would like the opportunity to put my service to use and be the best furbaby babysitter of all time. Please allow for me to have the opportunity to show you how responsible, kind, and compassionate I can be with your pet. You will be able to get into contact with me whenever you need reassurance that your furbaby is doing well and is happy. Everyone is welcomed in my home I am available as needed I work from home so I am able to attended to all pet needs. A typical day with me includes lots of walks and treats I have a fenced back yard that the dogs are able to run around in. It is a big house so they are able to run around where ever

“5+ star review for Melissa! Reading previous reviews, I wasn't surprised that Melissa took such great care of my 2 kitties while I was away - she has an obvious talent for interacting with animals and seems to sincerely love her job. I was however a bit surprised by the extra level of professionalism Melissa brings to her service. Her communications are both timely and thorough and she expertly adjusted her care plan - on the fly - to accommodate some extra shy behavior from my younger kitten. Melissa's gentle patience won out in the end and I arrived home to 2 very content and stress-free fur babies. A truly perfect ending to my holiday weekend. I will most definitely reach out to Melissa for help again next time!”

Christine R.

“I’ve booked with Ms. Anita twice in the past couple of months—she’s always my number pick when I need my fur kiddo looked after. Ms. Anita is friendly, timely, very experienced. For as long as I live in this area, she’ll always be my preferred sitter.”

Deandra D.

“My pup stayed for 12 hrs and had so much fun he was snoring before we left the drive. He’s deaf and Tara made sure he was comfy with the other animals and his space. Highly recommend!”

As their entrusted guardian, I pledge not just to meet their needs but to orchestrate a symphony of delight, ensuring that every tail wags to its own unique rhythm with contentment.

“Very last minute booking that she was very responsive to. She was flexible and patient in integrating her dogs, who Zuma loved. Zuma can be a nervous girl but Arianna really helped her feel comfortable. She's also great at training and her dogs are well behaved, which is helpful for a nervous dog like Zuma. I got lots of updates and pictures, she even took Zuma on a nice hike/run and she was well tuckered out after. An amazing price for the time and dedication she put into hosting Zuma. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area!”

Keara K.

“Autumn was amazing! Super responsive and helpful! Will definitely be using her again to watch my babies.”

Mandi M.

“Becky and family are the perfect dog sitters! I can’t explain how grateful I am for how well they cared for my Winnie! I’d be lucky to have her help me again! Bonus: the location in which she lives is a dogs dream :)”

Toni D.

“They took great care of Bruno and took him on a good walk while we were away.”

Thomas J.

About: I am a veterinary technician student at Northcentral Technical College, looking to gain as much experience with fur babies as I can. I have trained and taken care of my own dogs since I was 11. I have taken care of family dogs for just as long as well. Being in school for my major I deal with dogs and cats daily with all kind of attitudes and sizes. I am currently at home full-time so I will be able to care for and play with your fur babies five days a week for most of the day. I have my own friendly pup who loves to play if he ever meets your fur baby. I can also crate your fur baby if you want me to when I leave!

About: I have had pets in my household for as long as I could remember. Growing up we had cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and hermit crabs. In high school, I watched family and neighbors pets while they were away. In college, I got a job at a humane society. Here, I learned how to care for sick animals, administer medications, give vaccinations, treat fleas, remove ticks, take care of puppies and seniors, and much more to make sure all the animals were healthy. Also, I learned how to deal with aggressive and behavioral dogs/cats. Now, I have 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own. Most of them were rescues. I am currently a substitute teacher while I go back to school for my teaching degree. Days vary but typically I will be working 8 hours a day if I do get a job for the day. On weekends, I normally don’t have anything going on. I have a fenced in backyard that allows my dogs to run and use the bathroom. In the morning and at night, I take them for walks. In the afternoon, I take my GSP for a run. On weekends, we like to go to Sniffspots or hiking. In a clients home, I will take them for walks, play in the fenced in backyard if applicable, and sometimes with permission will take them hiking.

“Kara is a wonderful dog walker! My girls love seeing her and the walks she's takes them on.”

Rachel L.

“Emily is great! Very clear that she cares for my dog like her own and I love the pictures she sends. She even goes above and beyond to give my cat some (very welcome) attention too when picking up/dropping off!”
