“Carmen was amazing! We came home from a long weekend to a happy dog and a clean house. She sent photos and updates multiple times a day and was extremely dependable, even when we had to adjust the time a little bit. And our dog loved her! ❤️ Thank you so much Carmen!”
“Katherine was amazing with my girls!! She was able to do a meet and greet before our booking and ever since was very responsive and kept me update all the time. At the time of her stay she was very respectful of our home, and took amazing care of my dogs. Definitely will book again!!”
“Sierra took excellent care of our fur baby TRUE🐶🐾! We were updated on all his walks play time and play dates with his new fur friends boarding with him for four days! I felt confident with our meeting with Sierra that True was in a safe environment and welcoming!”
“Lily was a fantastic sitter for Ella. Ells seemed to take to Lily pretty quickly, and Lily was not shy to provide constant updates on how Ella was doing, including pictures when she walked her, which was often. I would absolutely ask Lily to watch Ella again in the future.”
“Jennifer was very comfortable with our older dog and willing to accommodate his quirky habits and need to do more bathroom visits (even in the middle of the night). It was clear she has been around and cared for all kinds of dogs and knows they are all unique! She arrived on time and was very communicative about her and his schedule. Highly recommend for in home dog care!”
“Elizabeth stayed with our 2 boys for 5 days. One has a chronic illness and the other was a puppy. She was amazing. She was able to handle the medications, deal with a new puppy and went above and beyond to pick up a medication one of them needed. When I came home we not only found our dogs were well cared for but the house was clean. She communicated daily. We feel confident she would be able to handle anything that comes up. We are planning on having her stay with them again.”
“I have used Rover before, I teach and train dog agility, and I work on Rover. I am particular. Sarah exceeded my expectations. My boys are timid with strangers, she completely won them over the first day and a week later I wasn’t sure they wanted us to come home. She has a way with dogs, she plays with them, gives them lots of attention, cuddles them and it shows - you can see in the pics they fell in love with her. Of course she is also very responsible, clean and sends the best pics! I am not giving Sarah a 5 star review… I’m giving her 10 ⭐️”
“Lisa was amazing! Our Zoey is grumpy with new people but warmed right up to her! 10/10 would recommend to anybody. She was professional and communicated clearly with us. She even made sure to send pictures for my boys of the dogs' presents from Santa!”
“Amazing isn’t even enough! Lauren goes above and beyond for not only my pets but my home! Our pups were so happy and well taken care of. Any issues that came up were acknowledged and handled so quickly. Came home to my house definitely so much cleaner than I left it, which is impressive with two big pups. Absolutely incredible experience and will definitely go with Lauren again on our next trip. Thank you so much for everything, it really means more than I can say!”
“Kristina is an EXCELLENT, caring, trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. We are quite neurotic about our pups, and it’s been a while since we have had to use a sitter. We were so worried about them! They are both hounds so they’re “runners” and one is extremely shy, fearful of loud sounds, and anxious. Kristina provided us true peace of mind! She sent lots of photos the entire time, and told us cute stories of their antics throughout each day. I highly recommend Kristina. You should stop at her name and book her now! She’s wonderful!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was around 11 years old, I’ve done walks as well as drop in visits for family, friends, and neighbors. I also have a yellow lab who I have raised since she was a puppy, who is now 4 years old. There is no dog or cat too big or small I will take care of them all! I am currently attending the University of Maryland but I am available for walks and drop in visits on the weekends, I have spring break from 3/14 - 3/22 and will be available those dates, and my summer break starts 5/29 after which I will be available until late August when school starts again. I do not have a time preference I am free any time of day for both walks and drop in visits. I have taken care of dogs and cats in all types of environments, both fenced and unfenced yards. I also have 2 family dogs that I walk regularly so I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time.
“Faith was wonderful with our cat, Bitty! She is 17 with severe kidney disease and requires a lot of extra care and medication. Faith is gentle and kind and gave Bitty all of her meds for us while we were away. She was super communicative and sent us adorable pictures! I recommend Faith to anyone whose critters need a little bit of extra TLC and will continue to trust her with our little fur babies ?”
“Sean was amazing and went above and beyond while caring for both our dog and cat at our home over the holidays! She was so sweet and sent pictures and updates every day. I tend to be very anxious about leaving my pets with new sitters but Sean did such an incredible job that I’d book her again in a heartbeat. I can tell my pets got lots of love and cuddles while I was away!”
“Kemmesha was amazing! From the beginning she was engaged with our 3 animals and sent us photos and videos while we were away. It made us feel much better about being gone for a week to know there was someone who cared watching our girls. Thank you!”
“Haylie was INCREDIBLE!! When I tell you she treated our dogs like they were her own family, I think our dogs would've preferred if we were gone longer!! We booked her for one overnight visit and she left the place in immaculate condition, you wouldn't be able to tell anyone was there! We have two corgis, one who loves people and the other who is more standoffish, but within hours of us leaving our shy corgi was already in her and her boyfriend's lap pressing his head against their cheek like he does with us!! They took them consistently on walks like we asked and I'm sure got a lot of playtime, because while we were only gone overnight, we came home and they passed out not long after! YOU NEED TO BOOK HAYLIE! She was a delight and we're absolutely going to hire her again in the future.”
“Shanae is easily one of the best sitters we have used in a while - we used to have a go-to sitter that moved away for grad school and went through a few additional sitters without much luck on a good fit, but we're incredibly happy to have found Shanae. She took care of our dog as her own, took her on even longer walks than we regularly do, sent pictures, and our dog seemed so happy and relaxed when we got home, when in the past she has seemed more relieved than happy. We're sure Abby looks forward to seeing her again!”
About: I don't currently have any pets but I have been looking after friends and family dogs for a few years now and specialize in providing the care and attention your fur baby needs. I work from home so I'm flexible and available most days for dog sitting. For walks only, I am available after 3 PM on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I appreciate all notes and strictly follow your fur baby's schedule such as feeding time, administering medicine, bed time, etc. I also aim for two walks minimum (morning and afternoon), and enjoy trips to the park if time allows.
About: During a training walk your dog will get some loose leash training as we take a short and fun walk with plenty of sniffs and fun! I can also do this with young puppies as I have a wagon that is sanitized after every use! I am a full time pet care professional and trainer with Inglenook Training Academy! I educate myself on all the newest methods and research daily as well as know pet first aid and cpr, body language, and how to keep your pet safe! I provide my clients with plenty of updates via photos and messages. I care for the animals in my care as if they were my own and love them all! I know pet first aid, care, body language, and much more to keep your pet safe.
“As always, Connie took great care of our two [giant, stinky, crazy] pups and the house looks great!! We got plenty of photos and updates and they are so happy!! We are so thankful for her allowing us to have a stress free trip every time we leave our babies with her.”

“Maddie is an absolute gem. Most responsible and most trusting, she has full access to our house. She cares for our dog “Bbek” as if it was her dog.

18. Vatia B.
“Travatia (Vatia) has been dog sitting for my dog Gigi for 2 yrs. She treats Gigi like she is her own. Gigi may love her more than me at this point. lol Vatia is very responsible, respectful and punctual. She will send me updates and pictures of Gigi while she is in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure my Gigi is taken care of and has a great time. Gigi is sometimes scared to walk because of noises around the neighborhood and Vatia is very patient with her when it comes to Gigi’s anxiety. I would highly recommend Vatia to care for anyone’s pet, she is awesome!!!”
19. Emiko M.
“Emiko was perfect for our anxious boy Edward. Over several months, she was there to help us with Eddie, and all of his quirks. Honestly, he was much calmer after they spent time together. She was very thoughtful with all of his needs, and we knew he was in the best of hands, when she was with him.”
