About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, ranging from puppies and kittens to reptiles and fish. I’m more than willing to do drop ins or even spend the night if you require. My schedule is very flexible, please reach out with and questions or concerns! During the week, I work a full-time schedule, but I’m available for visits before work, during my lunch break, and after work each evening. This makes me a great fit for morning feedings, midday potty breaks, evening walks, dinner visits, and overnight care. Weekends: I’m available with a flexible schedule and can accommodate visits throughout the day. Overnight Care: I’m available for overnight stays any day of the week, so your pets can enjoy consistent care and companionship while you’re away. I always strive to be reliable, communicative, and attentive, ensuring your pets receive the same love and care I give my own. Your pets will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they’re well-fed, receive plenty of love, attention, and playtime, and have opportunities to relax, unwind, and enjoy lots of cuddles. I’ll also keep up with their daily care and hygiene, ensuring they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and fostering many dogs for local rescues, learning to manage everything from picky eaters to senior pets with mobility issues and other various medical needs. I also have experience caring for parakeets, chickens, guinea pigs , anoles and fish I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I will do my best to match the routine you have with them to keep them on schedule and make sure they have fun and are comfortable while you are away. I can play, crate, feed, or give medications in the home. I want to match your routine with your pets as best as possible so they can feel comfortable while you are away.

“Kerri has been getting to know Patches prior to house- and dog-sitting for us for a week in June. Kerri is very responsible, very kind, and wonderful with our dog. Patches is a little skittish, particularly with new people, but he has warmed up to Kerri who plays with him, walks him, and pets him (he loves belly rubs). We feel very comfortable leaving him with Kerri.”

“Daniela was fabulous. She was the highlight of our dog Bailey's afternoons. She went above and beyond while taking him for some walkies.”

About: I am a local environmental science student with extensive experience in professional pet and house sitting. Having grown up with dogs and cats, I have provided dependable care for repeat clients since the age of 12. I would welcome the opportunity to care for your animals and can provide references upon request. I am a local college student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to commit to various shifts. I am generally available to work during evenings and on weekends. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my availability aligns with your current needs. Caring for my own two dogs led me to discover a passion for working with animals, and I am now seeking opportunities to gain professional experience as I pursue a career in this field. To ensure both you and your pets are comfortable, I typically offer a pre-visit to meet in person. This allows us to discuss your specific care instructions and ensures you are confident in my services as a caretaker.

“Our pup just adores Brooke. From the walks, playing and learning - we have seen a positive influence in the daily walks. It's been years since we had a puppy in the house, having Brooke care for him while we are away at work has been such a ease on our minds. Thank you for loving our boy!”

“Elizabeth is the BEST! Not only does she look out for our Pups, she looks out for us as well. I asked her if she wouldn’t mind taking the trash to the end of the driveway for me because I forgot to. She is a rockstar and did it for me. So helpful!”

About: With over seven years of petsitting experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge to animal care. I have previously worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, managing dogs of all temperaments. At home, I care for a dog, two cats, and a goat, giving me a unique perspective on different animals' needs. Since I have pets at home, I try to avoid overnight stays when possible. That being said, if it is an emergency I would be happy to work something out with you! I do not offer in home petsitting. However, to ensure your pets safety I will take all measures necessary including ensuring all doors are properly closed and locked, following all directions left for me to a T, etc.

About: Ive been taking care of my neighbors, friends, and families pets for a little over 8 years now. Over the years I have learned many things about pets and how to calm them down and gently direct them in the right path. I also have lots of experience with senior dogs who need more attention to detail than younger dogs. Pet care fits into my daily routine quite well. Im a sophomore at frederick community college living at home, so my hours are almost always completely available! I am the dominant pet care taker in my home with two dogs (my angels). I care for pets in my clients home by greeting them and let them get to know me. If the client has a fenced in yard for me to take the dogs out and play thats amazing, but if not I take the dogs for nice walk to get them exercise and some entertainment. I am all for following directions so just let me know what you need and ill handle it!

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for the past 30 years. In the past 10 years I have enjoyed taking care of my senior Beagles and fostering! I'm off for the summer so just about any day works! In the fall, my schedule will allow Mon- Fri after 3pm. Can't wait to help out! I can help you in your home with feeding, walking and playing with your pet. If your pet just needs snuggles, I'm there for it.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My childhood cat lived to 22, and I grew up with Golden Retrievers, including helping care for a litter of puppies. I also worked as an assistant manager at a large pet daycare facility and now have two rescue dogs of my own. I’m very active and love walking, so I’m happy to give dogs plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their needs. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work part-time in a flexible office role and can also work remotely, while I am building my real-estate career. That gives me the ability to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and staying consistent with each pet’s routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fenced yard, a large back porch, a walkable neighborhood, and a park nearby for walks and playtime. My two rescue dogs are used to sharing the furniture, so visiting pets will have plenty of comfortable places to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any house rules—while keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a former college coach and admissions counselor, I have spent most of my career in trusted, responsibility-heavy roles, and I bring that same attentiveness and care to every pet.

About: I have grown up with dogs for the majority of my life. Dog breeds like pugs, Dalmatian, Australian Shepard, pitbull, boxer, doodle, blue heeler, and more! I grew up on a farm with horses, sheep cows, cats, dogs! All kinds of animals 🥰 I am very passionate about animals being taken care of the way they deserve! Along with that I have also spent 5+ years caring for snakes and other reptiles Typically I work in Sparks MD Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Shrewsbury PA most other days. My schedule varies at times and my shifts ranges anywhere from 5 hours to 8 hours don't have any pets at the moment, my townhouse doesn't allow them sadly 😔 but I have had many pets in my life ranging from cats, dogs, reptiles, hamsters, horses you name it! Pets are family and I always treat anyone's animals as such!

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years—both my own and through my professional pet sitting work. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pups, including energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra patience. I also have personal experience caring for an injured dog (my own had a CCL tear last summer), so I understand how important it is to be gentle, keep walks controlled, and watch for any limping or discomfort. During visits, I make sure your dog gets a safe walk, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of love—plus photo updates and a detailed visit note so you always know how things went. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits. I’m also available for last-minute requests when needed, including weekends and holidays. Safety is my top priority. I always follow pet parent instructions closely and keep routines consistent. For walks, I use a waist leash/leash belt so your pup is securely attached to me the entire time—this helps keep both your pet and me safe. I’m careful around doors and gates, double-check locks before leaving, and I send updates with notes and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I've been caring for cats and dogs my entire life, and my love for animals knows no bounds. My Pomeranian, Dachshund, and Pitbull all lived to the ripe old ages of 16 and 17, thanks to the simple secret of love. Currently, I have a stunning 80-pound Pitbull/Cane Corso mix who is 9 years old, and a 100-pound Great Dane. I can't wait to take exceptional care of your beloved pet. I reside in the Eldersburg area and have a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I can adapt to almost any schedule you need. I prioritize the safety and well-being of your furry friend. I ensure that all walks are conducted in safe, dog-friendly environments, avoiding areas with heavy traffic or potential hazards. I follow strict leash etiquette and am vigilant about weather conditions to keep your pet comfortable and secure. Additionally, I am attentive to your dog's behavior and health, making sure they interact amicably with other dogs and minimizing the risk of infections or diseases. Your dog's safety is my top priority, and I strive to provide a fun, enriching, and secure walking experience.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have class on Monday afternoons, but sadly the rest of my schedule is pretty up in the air right now. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I've had a lot of dogs to watch! Every variety of sizes, ages, and breeds. With me, there will never be a dull time! I enjoy playing with them and taking walks with them. I adore getting a pup cup and taking them for vehicle rides! (Of course, if they are permitted to have it). I just want to make them happy because that's how happy they make me! I have a flexible schedule and work mostly from home. I’ll be coming to your home, so your pup gets to stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m usually around during the day, and if I ever need to step out, it’s only for a couple of hours at most. On weekends, I’m fully available and can give your pet plenty of love, walks, and attention. If you have a specific schedule or needs, just let me know in advance, I’m happy to accommodate! I make sure they stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll come by as often as needed for walks, playtime, feeding, and any extra care your pet requires. I love spending time with them, whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toy, or just giving them attention and cuddles. I always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know your furry friend is happy and cared for while you’re away.

“Melisha was great with our new puppy Riley that we rescued. Riley loved her and loved the walks. Melisha would send us the cutest pictures of Riley on her walks. I highly recommend her!”

About: Family and friends have always relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their pets. Animals are my passion and it's a joy to make them happy. They need love and compassion, no matter what. I have a soft spot for senior cats and dogs, and it's a joy to provide them with comfort. I especially love working with shy cats who don't like strangers! I always get them to break out of their shell and into my lap 🥰 I put in the extra effort to make sure all animals in my care have an incredibly fun time! Nothing is more fulfilling than doting on them and providing relief for their caring owners! I have an open schedule all week, and can care for your pets any time of day, or for an extended period of time. My availability is very flexible and I'm always eager to work around everyone's schedule so your babies have the care and attention they deserve! Your pets will be safe and at ease with me. I'm respectful of their emotions and boundaries, and ensure that they know I'm only there to dote on them. Even though their parents are away, I do everything in my power to ensure they are safe, healthy, and happy.
