“I contacted India on relatively short notice for pet sitting. She was available to come meet us and our dog before our trip. India did a wonderful job taking care of our older German Shepherd who is dealing with some skin conditions. She was very caring and followed all of the instructions that I left for medicine and wound care. We appreciate the care that she gave our girl and will definitely book with India again to take care of our dog. We also have a bearded dragon and fish that she took care of as well. Highly recommend India for pet sitting.”

“Leah was wonderful! Our pups loved her! This is the first time we’ve had a pet sitter, so we were a little nervous but she eased our worries. She was very prompt with messaging and gave us lots of updates! We will absolutely book her again!”

Sydney M.

“Shemoy was wonderful! We have had bad experiences with Rover dog sitters in the past, but she made us feel very at ease while watching our dog. She was very responsive and reliable. She even left the sweetest Christmas treats for my dog. You can tell she really cares about animals. I will definitely book with her again.”

About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently working a part-time internship related to my major for school. This internship only takes up 15 hours of my time during the week. I am available to play and care for your pets any time during the weekend and when I am not working. As I do not have my schedule yet, I estimate most of my time will be spent with your pets in the evening during the week and whenever we can make work! I am very flexible. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Juliana was a joy to work with and took thoughtful care of my home and dog! She was knowledgeable, kind, communicative, and patient with Hugo getting used to her. Upon my return, she had followed instructions thoroughly and carefully, and Hugo was well cared for and happy. And so am I! Thank you, Juliana!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 11. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs! I took animal science in high school for two years which included dog grooming two days out of the week and also learning about all animals in general. I worked at Hayfield Animal Hospital as a Kennel Assistant when I was in high school as well. This required walking and feeding dogs on a day to day basis. Through my junior year of high school through college, I was a summer camp counselor for a Horse riding stables. This included taking care of 30+ horses every morning and night during the week. I have been riding horses for 20 years now and have an equine minor. I have lots of experience with dogs and cats! I currently have two dogs of my own that I love very much. I have grown up with cats and until recently have always had one or two in my life. I currently work full-time from home. I work from 8 to 5 but can sit before then, during lunch, or after work. I also have time on the weekends to sit as well. I have two dogs of my own at home, so I cannot do in-home sitting currently. I will take great care of your pups/cats at your own home and follow any instructions given!

“Samuel did a fantastic job watching our dog who is both quite reactive and recovering from ACL surgery. We already rebooked him for next month and highly recommend him for anyone needing peace of mind while they’re away from their fur baby.”

“I highly recommend Kathleen for anyone looking for in home or not care. Kathleen allowed us to take a wonderful holiday vacation knowing our 16 year old boy with Kidney issues would be well loved and cared for as she sent pictures daily and was always available for a checkin. Kathleen also took care of our home and eneded her stay as if she had never lived their for 10 days. Just amazing! We were pleased more than we ever thought we would be. Highly recommend this wonderful gal who we did just meet as she came 3 times prior to my trip to ease my nerves. Real gem and she and her family are great with animals. Katu was comfortable right away, which is unusual. Thank you Kathleen. You are our sitter for Katu! Happy New Year! Loved your family Christmas card! Thank you so much!”

“Kristen was absolutely wonderful with my Pomeranian mix, Jasper, over Spring break. From the very beginning, she was flexible with my schedule and made the whole handoff seamless and stress-free. It was clear she genuinely cared about Jasper’s comfort and wellbeing. She was attentive, communicative, and completely dedicated to making sure he was happy and well looked after while I was away. Knowing Jasper was in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away without a second of worry. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Kristen again and recommend her without any hesitation!”

“Linda was awesome. Sadie was relaxed and happy while in her care. It was nice to go on vacation and know that Sadie was being well cared for. I would recommend Linda to anyone who wants their pet to stay home while they are gone. I will definitely request Linda again if we go away.”

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.

“Erik was absolutely amazing!!!! It was the first time leaving my dogs with a sitter while I was out of town and I will definitely be using his service again!!! He shared pictures of the dogs every day and he made me comfortable while I was clear across the country. He even washed the couple dishes in my sink!!! I would definitely recommend Erik to all my friends and family!!!”

About: I am detail oriented, professional, and reliable. I provide personalized, attentive pet care—never a one-size-fits-all approach. Every animal has their own personality and needs, so I tailor their routine to what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. You can expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins (unless you prefer otherwise) so you always feel connected and reassured while you're away. I currently work on base, therefore, I am primarily available evenings and weekends, with some flexibility depending on your pet’s schedule. With enough notice, I can often adjust my availability when needed, but usually work 7-4. I follow all owner instructions closely, whether it’s walk schedules, fenced-yard playtime, crate routines, furniture rules, or how your pet is to be left when I’m out. Your pet’s wellbeing and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

“Skyler was professional and caring with our pets. She stayed 72 hours in our home and left the home clean and the dogs very happy. We will absolutely be contacting Skyler the next time we need her services as she was a joy to have in our home while we were away playing and caring for our two large dogs.”

About: I've had and taken care of a dog since I was 7 years old. Dogs were always a part of our family life. In my family and friend group I am the go-to person for pet sitting and puppy walks. I recently participated with a trainer from Ultimate K9 training in Southern Maryland with my own pup Russel who passed with flying colors and both he and I learned many new skills and tricks. Working with dogs is one of the loves of my life. I typically work a 7-5 shift at my day job but do have some flexibility during the day that I can use for a pup break. Evenings I am consistently available after 5pm. Weekend work is not a problem and I am open to helping support your much needed getaway. Love is always the first ingredient but of course we respect puppy boundaries as set by the puppy parents or how comfortable the pup is until they feel comfortable. Meals are fed to pups at the same time to make sure they are not feeling favoritism. Belly rubs and play time are also important for bonding and trust. I will send images of pets daily if the pet parent would like. Just let me know.

About: With 15 years of experience, animals aren’t just my job, they’re my world. I bring genuine love and dedication to every pet in my care, whether they’re a playful pup, a curious kitten, or a wise senior companion. Beyond standard sitting services, I offer full grooming care including bathing, brushing, nail trims, teeth cleaning, and ear cleaning, so your pet comes home not just happy, but fresh and well-tended. Having these skills in-house means less stress for your pet and more convenience for you. Cats and dogs both hold a special place in my heart, and after 15 years, I’ve learned how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is woven into every part of my day. My mornings start with feeding, walks, and making sure every animal in my care gets one on one attention before anything else. Throughout the day I check in on their needs, whether that is playtime, grooming, or just some quiet companionship. Evenings are for winding down together, because pets thrive on consistency and I make sure they always feel settled and secure. This is not something I squeeze into my schedule. It is my schedule. Animals are my priority seven days a week, and that kind of commitment is something every pet owner deserves to know their sitter has. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is always the same, to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I tailor my care to each animal’s personality and routine, because no two pets are alike. When caring for pets in my home, they become part of my daily life. They sleep comfortably, play freely, and receive constant attention throughout the day and night. I keep things calm and nurturing so even nervous or anxious pets can relax and settle in. When visiting clients in their own homes, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Familiar surroundings make a big difference, especially for cats and older pets who do best in their own environment. I handle everything from feeding and walks to grooming and cuddle time, so your home stays in order and your pet stays happy. Either way, you can count on updates and peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in experienced, caring hands.

About: I have taken care of animals for over a year now at a dog daycare/boarding centre in a variety of different circumstances. From Mastiff’s to Chihuahuas, I am confident taking care of various different sized dogs with a variety of different dietary needs from raw diets to kibble diets, medical needs from dogs that get medication once a day to dogs that get medication several times a day, and activity needs from dogs that need regular exercise to senior dogs that don’t need to be exercised. I have also had experience handling dogs that are extremely nervous around new people, dogs that can resource guard toys, and dogs that are highly reactive. I am a full-time commuter college student with large gaps between my morning and afternoon classes which I can travel to and from the owners house to let their dogs out and play with during. The only time that I am unable to stop by the house between classes is on Thursdays where I will be gone from 8 am to 2 pm due to my in-person lab course. I only offer services at my clients house so as of not to subject the pet to unnecessary stress from being in a new environment. I can administer any medication that is not via injection, I can cater to a variety of diets ranging from raw meat every day to freshly cooked food three times a day to kibble twice a day depending on the dogs needs, I have personal leashes that I can use or I can use the owners leashes to take the dog on walks as often as request/needed.
