I’ve used Kayla more than once and always have a great experience. She took excellent care of my two dogs and cat for two weeks, sent daily photo updates, and left our home clean—even washing the sheets before she left. She’s also very flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Keira was great with our old pup Toby while we were out of town. She was knowledgeable about care and Toby was in great hands. She gave updates and photos throughout the stay.

Kate was excellent! We booked her for an overnight stay for our (in our house) - to keep him company since he has a little separation anxiety. She was very responsive in our communication and with the our pups needs. Our boy is sometimes shy with new people but he took to her right away and he even hung next to her while we did our initial meet up. She catered to him (walks, waters, and lots of cuddles) while she stayed and she left the house as she found it and was very respectful! Highly recommended!

Sarah was wonderful! Our dog has anxiety and takes time to warm up to strangers, but he wanted pets from her within minutes of them meeting. She was very understanding and patient with him, given the anxiety. Knowing Sarah was with him gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our time away. Thank you so much Sarah for taking such great care of our boy!!

We had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!

About: I've had family dogs for 13 years, but started taking care of some of my neighbors' dogs 5 years ago, whether it be taking them for potty breaks or staying over at their house to give them attentive care. I work part time at a pet boarding place as a kennel tech, so I have lots of experience with many different breeds and temperaments of both cats and dogs. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, from Yorkie to Saint Bernard, and have lots of experience caring for both puppies and senior pets that might need more rigorous attention. I will be working part-time this summer, meaning that on the occasional days I work, I am available any time before 8am and then after 1-2pm. I can still stay over with your pet any day, that just means that on workdays, I would feed and walk them (And any other things necessary) before 8am, and then have to leave for work and then come back at 1-2. Whenever I am not actively at work, I can spend all my time caring for your pets! I am experienced at reading pet body language and adapting to how they respond. I am very communicative and will send lots of updates about your pet, including daily pictures of your fur babies! I can supply treats (with your approval) and can take them to parks and other places for walks, as I have a car and license. I'm dedicated to making sure your animal is as happy as can be :-)

Great and flexible dog sitter. Was able to adjust days and times as life happened and made us adjust our travel plans. Our dogs are not the easiest but they warmed to her quickly and it made for a great match.

About: I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets of all shapes and sizes throughout high school and college. Whether it was my college friend’s energetic puppy or my aunt’s elderly cat, I always loved spending time with them. I offer walks, feedings, playtime, possible vet trips if needed, and of course quality time with your pet in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and happiest. Currently home for the summer which is perfect for open availability whenever and wherever. Available mornings, evenings and nights! I am flexible in almost every booking if needed. Pets are free to roam throughout the house! Dogs would have to be on a leash to be outside due to the unfortunate circumstances of having no fence in my back yard.

About: I am currently a College Student majoring in Animal Behavior. I have two years of experience pet sitting and walking dogs. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have a four year old Black Lab (Olive), and a three year old Boxer (Kyla). Can’t wait to meet your furry friend(s)! I have morning classes, so I have afternoons, evenings and weekends to take care of your pups. During school breaks I will be more available for your needs. I take dogs on leashed walks fitting their needs. I also keep them entertained and fed inside when/if needed. I also can play with your dog in a fenced yard.

Kim is a rockstar. She's so attentive, thorough, and is an absolute joy to have pet sitting. When I was away, she made sure to stay in constant communication with me. She even gave my pup extra attention because it was his birthday. And somehow she got my cat, who's an anti-social deviant, to come out and play! Do yourself a favor and have Kim watch your little fur family. I can't recommend her enough.

About: I have treated small cuts, and administered insulin to cats and dogs. I have cleaned many ears and eyes for both species in my past. I work at a special school beginning at 7:30 am and am finished with my work day at 3:30. I have off on major school holidays. I have a fenced in backyard and my daughter and I enjoy taking our boys on walks daily if weather permits. Our boys love our couch, and always pick the best seat in the house.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years now with plenty of experience with most breeds, ages, and personalities! Coming from a family with 5 dogs, I have plenty of experience with handling multiple dogs schedules, feeding times, and medications. I also have plenty of experience with puppies, as well as senior dogs! I walk about 4-5 miles daily, so I am always active and ready to play with your pup! I have a true passion and love for dogs and want to share that to help others! :) I am currently working part time at a restaurant and med spa, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to travel and do overnight stays! I have a fenced in backyard with one mini dachshund at home. I am able to come to your house or bring a dog to me!

About: Hello! My name is Xin. I live in Ellicott City, Maryland, and hope to care for your fur-babies! I am newly-reactivated, but for the past 6 years I have fostered with the rescues Friends of Rabbits in MD and Penny and Wild in FL, so I have been active in the pet care and rescue community! I'd say I'm fairly active, going to the gym 4 days a week for strength training and running 4 times a week, so I have gotten strong enough to handle bigger dogs. I also love dogs that can run alongside me so I'm for you if you have an over-active dog! I've grown up with a dog, walked countless dogs of various ages, shapes, and sizes, have one house bunny and a former feral tuxedo cat of my own, and worked with caring for up to 14 cats at a time in a Petco! I'm also a rabbit foster and regularly foster and volunteer with local rabbit rescues and shelters - I have fostered at least 10 rabbits now and it's rare for my place to not have more than one enclosure at a time. My services include dog walking, day care, cat boarding and day care. I even have experience with rabbits with special needs, guinea pigs, and reptiles. If you need any proof of credentials, I would love to provide resumes, photos, references, and other proof of experience. To set up a meet & greet with me, send me a booking request! We can do either face-to-face or over video call! Planning ahead? I'm available for any holiday bookings this year. Contact me! I work from home teaching an online music studio and will have my entire day free until at least the coming school year, during which I will be teaching at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's OrchKids program as a Teaching Artist. I also spend some time at the gym and also run a lot; if your dog loves to run he or she is welcome to come along! I have a camera set up at all times for when I am away and use the app Alfred to track how my pets are doing, which you may access as well. I believe in open communication and constant vigilance when it comes to pet care- I see too often people being honestly audacious and trifling when it comes to pet care which is why I decided to reactivate my account after having taken an extended break from the platform (but not from pet care in general). I will send as many photos and videos as you require (within reason) and every request will be accommodated for to the best of my ability. All pets except dogs will be indoors only.

Alicia did an AWESOME job with our golden retriever Ammo, pit mix Lucy, 3 cats (Oreo, Tiger and Yoda), Turtle and Fish. She sent pictures several time a day and all the animals looked so happy. I usually worry about what is going on with my fur family members while on vacation but, Alicia put me right at ease. She ensured she arrived within a few hours of our arrival and left less than an hour before we returned home and the dogs were still tired form their last play with Alicia. We will definitely be using her again!

I can’t recommend Natalie enough! From the moment we booked, her communication was prompt, clear, and incredibly reassuring. She treated my dog like her own and respected my home with the utmost care, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly loved and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Natalie again.
