House Sitting Akers Acres

“I highly recommend Jessica! I was extremely happy with the care she provided for my two cats and my little special‑needs dog. She was responsive whenever I reached out and consistently shared updates throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my pets were in excellent hands. Jessica was also very respectful of my home—it was left tidy and well cared for (trash taken out, bed made, no dishes in the sink, etc.). I’m really looking forward to booking her again the next time I travel!”

“Jennifer took amazing care of our two dogs and house. She was especially good with our 18 year old terrier who has many struggles during the day - even going to the pet store to get her some supplements! 100% recommend and will be a repeat client !”

“Our dogs love her and the house was left perfect after she left. One of our dogs is old and needs care every 4 hours or less and some pills. He is also deaf and uses sign language to communicate. She was able to handle all of this no problem. Booking her again for our next trip!”

“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”

“Thank you again for taking great care of our pups while we were travelling! My husband and I feel much more comfortable leaving our dogs behind knowing they are in good hands”

About: I have cared for dogs for family and friends, offering loving attention, fun walks and playtime. I will treat your dog like family, respecting their individual needs. I am currently retired and have time to help with dog care. I am flexiable, trustworthy and enjoy taking care of animals and their needs. I provide caring, dependable pet care in your home, helping pets feel comfortable and secure while giving you confidence that their needs are thoughtfully met.

About: Hi there! My name is Anissa (Nis), I am a reliable, patient, loving, safety-first dog walker and animal sitter based in Frederick, MD and Martinsburg, WV. Whether your dog needs a brisk midday walk, a trip around the park, or your animals require an attentive drop-in visit, I’m here to help burn off that extra energy and provide peace of mind for you while I care for your best friend(s), as well as your home! As a current Dachshund mom of 2 anxious angels with very specific needs, a cat mom, and mom of many other babies that I loved before them, I am comfortable with all sizes/breeds, anxiety levels, specific/complex needs, and prioritize positive reinforcement, calm handling, and showing the same kindness that I would provide for my own animals. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies/ferrets/bunnies/other small furry friends to senior dogs needing slow strolls, patience, and joint care. When I care for your babies, you will receive a detailed report, and photos during/after every single outing, as well as anything else that would make you feel more comfortable while your children are in my care. If you are looking for someone to love your family members like their own and ease any completely understandable anxiety you may have when trusting someone with a piece of your heart, please send me a message to chat or schedule a meet-and-greet! I currently work in Frederick from 8-4 M-F with flexibility to step away and return as needed during the work day. I have full availability on the weekends as I do not have any current commitments. I am flexible throughout the Frederick, MD area at any time, as well as house-sitting, and visits before/after 8am-4pm in the following locations: Martinsburg, WV Hagerstown, MD Shepherstown, WV Williamsport, MD as I have a unique situation and am able to stay/commute from any of those locations. When caring for your animals in your home, I strive to keep their normal routine, ensure safety, and maintain the household according to specific owner instructions in hopes to provide the same peace of mind that I require when leaving my own babies under the care of someone else.

About: Hello and thanks for reading my profile! I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was a little girl, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Currently, I have a Great Dane of my own (his name is Saint) and regularly babysit three wonderful dogs (two goofy Mastiffs and one sassy little Basset Hound. l’m comfortable with everything from high-energy playtime to gentle senior care, and I treat every pet like family. I currently work 7:30am - 4pm on the weekdays. My office is pet friendly, so I can bring your dog to work with me if you need me during the week. Otherwise I can be available for evenings during the week. My weekends are usually completely free though! I make sure all pets are comfortable, well fed and get play time in. Dogs aren’t meant to be idle all day, and as an active person I love to walk dogs and have some playtime in the backyard. My pets and my client’s pets always get spoiled rotten with cuddles and kisses. <3

“Kaylie was awesome! She house sat (my senior dog and cat) ensuring they got their medication. She did all the things I asked and sent me pictures am/pm. Highly recommend Kaylie!”

About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family.

About: Hello, I’m so excited to become a dog sitter & walker on rover! I have always been a huge dog fan. I have had a small yorkie ever sense I was young. My sister has a big dog who I also enjoy being around! I am currently college student training to become a nurse! I’m looking for a seasonal job for over the summer!

I will treat pets like my family. I love making pets happy and feel loved. I will adhere to all costumer requests! I will make sure the dog is happy and well taken care of!

“Dominika always provides the best care for Vozel, Durz, Lucky and Imp! She had experience with Vozel’s rare breed (Prague Ratter) which is so hard to find! She follows care instructions to the letter and I have complete peace of mind when we travel knowing she’s got the creatures. Thanks Dominika!”

About: HAWKINS DOES NOT LIVE WITH ME FULL TIME, HE LIVES WITH MY FATHER :) I've been a dog lover since childhood! I've been watching, walking and giving lots of love to my own dog (Hawkins) for about 3 years now! However, I was asked to walk and check-in on dogs several times in my complex and neighborhood! This happens especially in my family, as a lot of my family members have one or more dogs they ask me to take care of when they go out of town, or just need a break! I've been caring for a diverse range of breeds, from a Shih Tzu to a Golden Retriever since I was basically 10 years old! I love to work, play with dogs, and save to pay off my student loans! I'll have some availability on the weekends when I don't have class, usually starting around 12pm! There are plenty trails, parks and squares around Maryland, which will provide your dog plenty of room for extra exercise, plenty of playing, and exploring! I will happily take your dog for long walks, play with them however your living space will allow, and play with them as long as you are comfortable with in the parks!

“Sonya was great with our house, dog and cat while we attended a conference and took a couple of relaxation days last week. She was in regular communication, often sent pictures and it was clear the dog and cat were super-relaxed. She was waiting for us when we arrived home and gave us all the news. Sonya is clearly a true animal lover and I would recommend her highly.”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up with an Akita German Shepherd mix who taught me patience, confidence, and how to read dog personalities. I used to help out at a small local rescue on weekends, mostly walking dogs and giving them baths, and it made caring for animals feel second nature. I’m gentle, reliable, and always treat pets like they’re my own. Your pet will be in loving hands with me. I’m available on weekdays after work at 5:30pm and I’m available Tuesday and Thursday mornings until 12pm. I take care of pets daily and it’s become one of my favorite parts of my routine! When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I start by following the owner’s instructions closely such as feeding schedules, litter or potty routines, favorite toys, and any specific quirks or habits. I make sure the home stays safe and tidy, double checking doors, gates, and food portions so nothing is overlooked. I spend quality time with each pet based on what they enjoy, such as playtime, slow cuddles, or quiet company. I also give updates with photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to make their home feel just as comfortable and secure as if their person were there.

“Sarah was great and very courteous!”

“Abigail has walked our dogs for us multiple weeks now and stayed overnight while we were away. She always does an amazing job with keeping us updated and sending lots of pictures. Our two dogs and cat always do really well with her! We trust her to take care of our animals and would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a dog walker or overnight stay. Thank you Abigail!”

Ryan T.

“Hannah was fantastic! She stayed overnight to care for our dog Bailey. She was very friendly, caring and thorough. She came ahead of time to do a meet and greet with Bailey and provided us with updates throughout her stay. We will definitely be booking her again for any future needs.”

About: I love all fur babies! I love playing tug of war, fetch, running, etc. with dogs. I love cats as well such as cuddling and playing together. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day to provide potty breaks, meals, exercise, attention, and companionship while ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and any medications as directed. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates and photos to owners, and ensure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and safe, reliable care while their family is away.
