About: Just beginning to do pet care, but have been a dog owner for over 50 years and a cat owner for over 40 years. Have also owned small animals (ferrets). I am currently retired so I have a very flexible schedule. Would be able to come to your house or do day care at my resident. Right now I have 1 dog and 3 cats so your pet will have interaction with other animals. Can grate your pet if needed. Live near a field so your pet will get get good walks.
About: I've had dogs of my own for 23 years. Starting at the puppy stage all the way to senior age. I know how to handle dogs of all energy levels. My day job is flexible and I can take the time your pet needs to go out for a walk or for bathroom break in the middle of the day. I am not able to bring dogs back to my house or be a daycare. I only wish to walk your pet or let them out as needed.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have mainly taken care of my neighbors' pets, my friends' pets and of course my own. I have pet-sitted for dogs of all sizes, cats and fish. At home I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 3 ferrets, a crested gecko and a tree frog. I am reliable and punctual. I am caring and kind. I am also flexible and will follow any schedule or instructions. I am a college student at the University of Maryland and during the summer I do have class on Friday morning. Besides my class schedule I am very flexible. I will follow any instructions that you provide as they are unique to each pet. If taking care of a dog I will never take them out without a leash or fenced in yard. If taking care of a cat I will make sure to keep them inside at all times. If you need me to take care of a small animal I will always make sure they are in their enclosure before I leave. I am very paranoid and will always make sure your pets are safe.
About: With over seven years of professional experience in animal care, I’m passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care for every pet I meet. My background includes managing a busy doggy daycare, working as a veterinary assistant in a veterinary hospital, earning my PetSmart Pet Care Certification, and providing dependable in-home pet sitting for families. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable administering medications and recognizing signs that may require extra attention. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, overnight care in your home, daily walks, playtime, or extra TLC, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, overnight stays, or last-minute drop-ins, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I believe pets thrive when they receive consistent care and attention, and I have the time to make sure they get exactly that while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, I’ll make sure they receive the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own pets. I understand that every animal has unique routines, preferences, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. In your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, provide plenty of updates with photos, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll have a clean, safe, and calm environment with constant supervision, plenty of enrichment, exercise, fresh water, and lots of affection. With my background as a doggy daycare manager, veterinary assistant, and professional pet sitter, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior or health, administering medications when needed, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pet, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands while you’re away.
“Fabiola was great with Creeker. Very communicative throughout and has taken walks on short notices of just hours with no problem. Will absolutely continue to have her walk Creeker and would recommend the same to anyone.”
“Carolina was great! She made sure to ask all of the important questions before taking the job. She was also flexible with timings of walks. Once she was here, she was sure to send me plenty of updates and pictures. I will definitely be sending her requests in the future.”
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was 12 years old. I have had 4 dogs throughout that time. I have experience with both senior dogs and high-energy younger dogs. I am more used to smaller dogs, but one of my current 2 dogs is a 54lb pitt-bull, the other one is a 15lb pug mix. I also used to take care of a 70lb standard poodle for a family I was a nanny for. I am currently unemployed, so I have open availability. I am working on my master´s degree and would like to use this extra time to save a little money since I just got married. I offer dog walking and house sitting services. I can also play with them and provide a safe and comfortable envoinment. I will adapt to whatever specific needs your pets may have.
“Sierra is excellent walking and caring for my high energy dog. She is very communicative, consistently providing updates thorough updates. She is also flexible working to schedule agreeable times. Highly recommended.”
About: As someone with minimal professional pet care experience, I bring genuine enthusiasm, responsibility, and a strong desire to learn. I’ve always loved animals and have spent time around friends’ and family members’ pets, giving me a basic understanding of their needs, personalities, and routines. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Because I work remotely Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My flexible work environment allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I’m home all day, so pets are never left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their the owner’s home, I plan to focus on creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable experience for both the pet and the owner by respecting the owner’s space just as much as I respect their pet, maintaining a clean environment, locking up carefully, and treating the home with the same care I would my own. I understand that pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I make it a priority to follow established household routines closely—whether that includes feeding schedules, walking paths, playtime habits, or special instructions.
About: Hello! My name is Sky, I'm 24 years old, and I am currently studying to get my Bachelor's Degree in Biological Science specializing in Zoology. I have a lot of first-hand experience with owning/caring for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. I have no breed preferences, and pets that need specific care/special needs are always welcome. If you have a special needs pet, (or a pet that needs any sort of medication administration or medical care such as ear drops, eye drops, diaper changes, etc.) I do request to be shown specifically how you provide that care in order to ensure that your pet is not overly stressed out with a stranger performing different techniques of administration than the ones consistently used by their owner. I have a license and a car so I can provide reliable transportation to dog parks, socialization outings, grooming appointments, and pup-cup treats! I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet. **FULLY COVID-19 VACCINATED AND BOOSTED During the summer I have a relatively free schedule. During the fall and spring semesters, I attend college full-time, so unfortunately my availability will be cut down but not completely gone. During the school year, I would greatly appreciate it if you could notify me or request me 6 hours to one day in advance so I can make sure I don’t have anything going on with school. Same-day requests during the school year can be tricky and I want you to be able to have your pet taken care of, so if I happen to be busy on the day of request/visit I can let you know so you can request someone else in a timely manner. I would hate to deny your request an hour or so before you need me because of school and cause you to be unable to book a new sitter in time. Thank you for your consideration, I will try my absolute best to accommodate you and your schedule with appropriate notice. I strive to make sure your pets get the best care possible, even if, unfortunately, it cannot be with me. **For house-sitting services, I am available for all-day visits, but unfortunately I am unable to stay the night(s) at your home because of my own pets at home needing care. I strive to provide your pets with the same love, care, and affection that I provide for my own pets. I'd love to cater to any preferences or favorite toys/food/activities your pet may have!
About: I have been a dog lover from birth, but no other pet has tested that besides my favorite bernedoodle, Pavi. I lived with Pavi and her cousin doberman, Oso, throughout their entire puppy phase (jump scare) and their dramatic toddler years. I did Rover for about a year and a half in 2024 and absolutely loved all the kinds of dogs that roamed through my house. I am not scared of a little mess and definitely not scared of cuddles either. I have seen a variety of dog personalities to the shy, angry, mischievous, and caring dogs. There were times I saw dogs with it all. I am super excited to care for and play with your loved pups they way you would. And don’t be surprised when you receive an album worth of pup photos after every visit. Right now I am working part time as a youth development specialist for MCPS, so i’m looking for something that would give me some physical activity and seretonin. I always keep my pups entertained by me or by any creative ways i can think of around the house. Hide and seek, peek a boo, fetch, tug a war, you name it. i love to play with them outside so that they can get nice and tired and sleep through out the night.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years. I have experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of daily routines, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing and getting attention, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and companionship! I have a flexible schedule and can make time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding them, or just keeping them company. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents about their pets’ routines and work together to find a schedule that works for everyone. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Every pet has different needs, and I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Candice is extremely reliable and trustworthy with my big boy! She understands the limitations with my dog’s arthritis and is thoughtful with the walking routes. She is very punctual with her arrival and thorough when leaving notes about how the walks went. I will continue booking Candice for my dog walks!
Emma is amazing with our three dogs—friendly, patient, and naturally in tune with them. The dogs loved her right away, and we were impressed by how well she managed all three from the very first visit. We’re extremely happy with her service and highly recommend her.
Lynette did a wonderful job walking our dog, Baki! She was communicative, always on time, and very flexible whenever we needed to make adjustments. Baki was always excited to see her and go on walks with her, which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely recommend Lynette to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
We’ve had such a great experience with Oyindamola! She walked our dog today and was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which we really appreciated. She’s been reliable, kind, and easy to work with, and our dog seems very happy after each walk. We’re grateful to have found her and are looking forward to booking many more walks in the future!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Wildcat Forest. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
