Dog Sitting Aberdeen Proving Ground

“Mariah was amazing and soooo helpful this was our first time leaving our cat and she was very detailed in daily reports! I will definitely be booking her again in the future! You can tell she really cares for your pet as her own.”

“My girls (cats) were happy and playing like idiots when I got home. I didn’t get the cold shoulder or any angry surprises. That tells me Theresa and the girls had a great time and I wasn’t missed. Thank you Theresa for being so awesome !!”

About: Hi! My name is Julia, and I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned both dogs and cats since I was a child, so caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life. I have several years of experience with dog sitting and house sitting, and I understand how important it is to know your pets and home are in caring, trustworthy hands. I love all pets and enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away. I am dependable, attentive, and respectful of each family’s home and pet care preferences. I would be happy to care for your furry family member and give them the same love and attention I would give my own pets! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I enjoy having pets as part of my routine, whether that means starting the day with a walk, stopping by for a midday visit, or spending quiet time with a cat who just wants company nearby. I’m dependable and flexible, and I understand that pets do best when their normal schedule is followed as closely as possible. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs, whether they need extra attention, medication reminders, playtime, or just someone calm and caring to keep them company while their family is away. I care for pets with patience, respect, and attention to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications or special needs, favorite toys, and any house rules. I know pets feel safest when things stay familiar, so I do my best to keep their routine calm and consistent while their family is away. I also treat every home with care and respect. I make sure doors are locked, food and water are refreshed, litter boxes or pet areas are kept clean, and pets are safe before I leave. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and personality, whether they are playful, shy, energetic, independent, or need a little extra reassurance. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and for owners to feel confident knowing their pets and home are in trustworthy hands.

“I cannot say enough great things about Kara! She is WONDERFUL with my 2 boys and step brothers dog! I don’t trust just anyone with my dogs and the day she came to meet them I knew I could trust her! My boys are very stubborn, high energy, and not always the best off leash, and she got them to listen and they looked so happy with all of the pictures/videos she sent me during the drop in visits (crazy dog mom here, I like lots of pics of my babies while I’m gone)”

“Stephanie was wonderful with our girls!! I was apprehensive as I had to extend our travels and have never left them for such a long time, but Stephanie was reliable and prompt with her visits. The girls enjoyed her visits. Thank you!”

About: I will care about your pets like they are my own. They deserve the best care and best time during their lives. I can give medication to pets if needed as I have a senior cat of my own. I'm currently working full time 4 days a week, but would like to branch out and work with animals again part time. I am available friday-sunday. I will make sure they have fresh water & clean bowls, feed them when needed, make sure they are safe and clean. If they have accidents I will make sure to clean them up. I will walk dogs and check in with them, clean up after them, and give them water/ treats/ food when requested. I will make sure cats litter is clean and fresh, they have access to clean water, and feed them/ play with them during drop ins.

About: I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life. I currently own two standard Goldendoodles and foster cats/kittens for the Hero Rescue. I have been an animal lover since I was a small child. I have patience with pets that need some time adapting to a new person in their area. I work full time so pets that are crate trained would work best for boarding in my home. If you would rather me come for drop ins I can stay and make sure they are fed, have water, get play time, and plenty of love while I’m there. Dogs in my home would have a fenced in yard for supervised potty breaks and play time. I also have enough space to throw a ball/toy for fetch inside for extra exercise. They would have my 2 Goldendoodles for company but any boarders would need to be crate trained so I don’t have to worry about them getting into anything while I’m at work. I also have cameras in my home so I can check in on everyone throughout the day. Drop ins would get attention, love, and play time while I’m at your home with them.

“We felt comfortable trusting our cats with Emily immediately after meeting her. She is very pleasant and thorough. She was also very accommodating adjusting our dates due to illness on our end. We will absolutely book her again!”

About: Your dog will feel right at home with my family and me! We are a family of dog lovers and will make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and care throughout their stay. We love going on walks, spending time outside, playing, and giving lots of cuddles. Your dog will be treated like part of our family and will have plenty of opportunities for playtime and enrichment—and they may even go home knowing a new trick or two! I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pet, so I’ll keep you updated throughout their stay with photos and messages. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention while you’re gone. I currently work full time at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care. Between myself and my family, your pup will receive lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout their stay. I also do my best to maintain their normal feeding, potty, and sleep routine so they feel comfortable while away from home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always a priority. Our home is full of dog lovers, so your pup will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. I follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and any other special needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for pets ranging from training puppies to caring for senior and special needs pets. I am comfortable with any breed and competent at administering medications and providing specialty care. I have 100% satisfaction rate across dozens of clients and would love the opportunity to love your pets as much as I love my own. I currently work part time on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to adapt to your needs. My availability is from 8am to 8pm and I can provide overnight services with advance notice. At your home, I will always walk your dog on your suggested routes and always leashed. If you have a harness, I will always use it. If you elect for overnight visits, I can either spend the hours of 8pm to 8am with your pet in their home, or bring them to my home with my two friendly (and fully vaccinated!) dogs and our fenced in yard.

“We arrived home last night after 2 weeks away. Our cats were happy to see us. They seemed content although we’d been gone so long. I’m very happy with Cassandra’s service”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life. I’ve raised a family dog from a puppy, fostered and helped train seeing eye puppies, and have experience with dogs who need extra patience and consistency. I also fostered—and ultimately adopted—our current dog, so I truly understand the commitment and care pets need to feel safe and loved. Because of this, I’m comfortable with puppy routines, basic training reinforcement, and providing a calm, supportive environment for dogs with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making them feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available for daytime, evening, and weekend care, and can accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I’ll follow your schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they need, and of course give them lots of attention and love. If they’re staying with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a safe, relaxed space, plenty of playtime, and also time to just chill. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing while you’re away 😊

“Hannah did wonderful with Steel. She was very meticulous and provided wonderful updates. Would highly recommend!”

About: I'm located off interstate 95 making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work. If you have small animals that need baby sitting my home is open to them and I have experience with a variety of small animals. I fit every animals needs and put them into my regular routine. I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life, & I can’t wait until I’m in a situation when I can finally have my own dog again. I’m knowledgeable about pet care & animal behavior, have great attention to detail, & enjoy learning more. I love every critter I meet (although I am partial towards chihuahuas & pits) & I have yet to meet a dog that didn’t like me. My family always had dogs growing up, & I have experience caring for a variety of dogs of different ages. I’ve only had two pet dogs that went through their entire life cycle with me, & my most recent doggo was a shitzu who came to me when she was 11. I spent her last few years trying to make her as comfortable & happy as possible. That’s the goal for every animal I care for. While this is obviously a job, & I do need the money, I genuinely enjoy getting to be helpful, to make someone’s life easier, & to, of course, spend time with dogs. I figure if I have to have a side hustle, it should at least be rewarding!! Thanks for reading!! I am a waitress- I usually work full-time, but it’s the slow season & we have a server surplus at the moment. I’m currently only scheduled for 3 night shifts a week, so my schedule is pretty open. Even on the days I do work, I would be able to check-in & care for the dogs before I go in, & can check on them afterwards as well if needed. Basically, I currently have plenty of time to fit in pet care. I am comfortable staying at someone else’s place; it would be nice to have a change of scenery every once in a while. Of course, I will treat your house with respect & be sure to leave it as it was when I arrived! If they wanna chill & sleep, that’s fine with me, but if they’re really active & need to play, I will play fetch & tug-o-war for hours on end. I have a car & supplies to take care of a dog if it is needed (snacks, poop bags, leash, blankets, first aid kit). I’m familiar with dog breeds & behavior & am aware of different training techniques so I’m not worried about being able to manage any dog- like getting them in their crate at the end of the night, or establishing a relationship with them, etc. I will care for your pet the way you want, but above all I will always care for an animal with the utmost respect & love, 💕

“I am so glad, I chose Cynthia, she provided me with daily pics and updates on my three kitties. So I knew how their day was going. But most off all, we needed her for an unexpected additional drop in and without hesitation she said yes ❤️. This was a life safer.”

Judith M.

“I’m grateful to have returned home to happy and healthy cats, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear they were well cared for in my absence. That said, I did notice an excessive amount of food left in their trays, which suggests my written instructions may not have been entirely clear or closely followed. Next time, I would definitely provide a step-by-step walkthrough of their feeding routine to ensure everything is as straightforward as possible. Overall, I’m thankful for the peace of mind while I was away.”

“We had a wonderful opportunity to travel to Ireland from May 3rd-12th. Leaving a beloved pet for 10 days can be tough on both the pet and their owners. However, we know what we have with Pearl! Once again, she was amazing! Not only does she stop in everyday to check in; feed; spend time with our cat & send pictures, she even took care of the litter box AND used the Swiffer to pick up the cat hair that tends to accumulate this time of year! Pearl just goes way Above & Beyond what any other pet sitter would do! I cannot say it enough... quite simply, Pearl is the BEST!”
