“James was a great find! I have a few others I use for sitting and they are wonderful. However James did something that the others did not. He offered to come and meet Jina and I before he was coming later in the evening to take care of her. With this Initial interview, Jina got to meet and greet James. When James came back for is scheduled visit, Jina already knew who he was making a huge impact on how Jina felt a new person in her world. Jina was taken very well care of for almost 3 hours and the communication with James was excellent! I highly recommend this sitter! See you again soon James.”

“Harleigh did an outstanding job accommodating all of my dog’s needs. My small dog, is usually anxious to meet new people, but he settled right into his hangout session with Harleigh. I was in a bind with no family in town to check on my dog, Harleigh was the first to reach out and in a matter of minutes she had solved my problem. She walked my dog around the neighborhood, fed him his meal and gave him some affection. Your animal will be in good hands with Harleigh! Don’t hesitate sending her your business !”


“Miranda has been visiting my dogs for about 3 months now and they love having her around. She has been particularly patient with my anxious dog and that gives me peace of mind knowing he has someone who accepts him. Both dogs are excited to hear her name when I tell them she’ll be by while I’m at work. She is communicative and reliable. I will continue to use her for the foreseeable future.”


About: With over 10 years of experience, I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to snakes and more! I once stayed for a full week over the Christmas holidays, ensuring pets felt loved and safe while their owners were away. I work full time but always make time to give your pets the attention, walks, and affection they deserve. You’ll always get photo updates and messages so you know your pets are in great hands! Morning Drop-ins or Walks: • Before 9:00 AM — Quick 30-minute drop-in or walk near Severna Park (I will let you know if I'm available or not) Midday Check-ins (Limited Window): • 2:15–3:30 PM — Ideal time for local drop-ins, feeding, letting pets out. Evening Stays or Walks: • Not typically available due to client work until 7:15 PM unless it’s for overnight care and you’re staying at the pet’s home. Weekends: • I’m generally available for weekend pet care unless I have a special outing planned I’ll always communicate ahead of time if a weekend’s not available! When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I closely follow all your instructions, whether it’s regarding feeding routines, bathtroom breaks, crate time, or medication. I also make sure to keep everything tidy while you’re away. I provide regular updates through texts and share adorable pet photos, so you never have to wonder how your pets are doing! Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a walk, or an overnight stay, your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I provide more than just pet sitting — I offer a second home for your furry loved ones. From daily walks and feedings to cuddles and playtime, every pet is showered with so much love and attention. Whether it’s senior pets needing gentle care or energetic pups who love adventure, I tailor each visit to meet their unique needs. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I always communicate clearly so you feel at ease while you’re away. Because pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. 🐾 I currently work full-time 3 days in office and Wednesdays & Thursdays from home. I’m also available on the weekends so feel free to reach out any day of the week for boarding services and I’ll be happy to receive your pawsome fur baby 🐾 I live in a very safe and dog friendly environment. I do not have a fenced yard, however, my community is very dog friendly that has a dog park right behind my house and walk friendly paths to take your fur baby on. I also care for cats as I grew up with both dogs and cats and have experience taking care of little kittens and pups to seniors. If you’d like me to check in on your fur baby at the comfort of your home, please feel free to reach out so I can coordinate a time where I can come and give your fur baby some loving care 💕

About: I have always had cats and dogs growing up. Currently I have 3 cats and my parents have 3 dogs that I watch and bathe. I also have experience with smaller and exotic animals. I had 5 guinea pigs including babies that I cared for, 3 hamsters that all lived till elderly. I have experience with all ages of cat. Career wise I worked at a boarding and grooming place as my first job, I have worked at petsmart careing for all the fish and small animals, I have work at Pet Supplies plus so I am very knowledgeable in behavior, health, and well being. I have also administered medication to dogs, cats, and small animals. Can also handle reptiles and bugs involved with reptiles feeding. In the past I have owned a total of 8 guinea pigs, 3 hamsters, 2 gerbils, a plethora of fish, and cared for kittens under 8 weeks. I constantly care for my three cats, which includes baths, nail trims, and diet (medications included). I also provide drop-in care for my parents and friends who go away and need their dogs watched and taken care of. I currently have three cats (one I've had since she was born and two that were left in my job's parking lot at six weeks old). They are indoor cats and have never gone outside, unless on a leash. They receive frequent baths and nail trims. I also have a hamster kept in a 40-gallon breeder tank with plenty of bedding and chews. I also trim her nails on occasion if she lets them get too long. Lastly, I have a 30-gallon fish tank with a school of guppies.

“Katie cared for my two cats while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with her service. She was attentive, reliable, and truly cared for my cats. They were well-fed, happy, and content when I returned. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of a trustworthy pet sitter.”

She has watched my animals acouple of times when I am away and has taken great care even when my dog was sick and had to give him meds. I've even seen her give meds to a hamster before (crazy I know). I know she will be great with anyone's animal weather they be small or large, rodent or reptile. She loves them all! Also she is the first person I've seen harness train a cat and take it outside, didnt think it was a thing before.”
