“Dominique is absolutely amazing with my dog Scarlet. From our initial meet and greet and all of her time and questions about my dog's specific needs, I knew she was a really caring and experienced dog handler. She knows my dog (unfortunately) loves to eat things off the ground and has to be watched liked a toddler, so she's incredibly attentive (and patient) with Scarlet. Would give Dominique 10 stars if I could and grateful to have her walking Scarlet on a weekly basis!”

“We are so grateful to have found Shelby! It's such a relief to know that my pup is getting exercise and attention while I am at work all day. I highly recommend Shelby!”


“Connie is very professional and cares about the service she provides. My dog got sick during her visit, and she stayed an extra 30 minutes to clean up and make sure my dog was comfortable. I highly recommend Connie.”

About: 🐾 About Me Hi there! I’m Kiara — a lifelong animal lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From tiny, timid pups to big, energetic adventurers, I’ve learned that every dog has their own unique way of showing love — and I adore getting to know each one. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through professional services, friends, and families, providing everything from daily walks and cuddle time to medication administration and overnight stays. My priority is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. 🐶 What You Can Expect • Reliable, communicative, and attentive care • Plenty of photo updates so you can relax while you’re away • A calm, loving environment with playtime, snuggles, and routine care • Experience with senior dogs and pets who need medication Whether your pup loves a long walk, a cozy nap, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to give them the same love and attention I’d want for my own fur babies. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member! 💕 I’m currently focusing on school, because of that I have a very flexible schedule which gives me a bit of extra time to take care of your pets weather is at your home or overnight at mines. I always ask the pet owners what is their daily routine with their fur babies and I will of course continue on with that same daily routine in my own home. I have a small dog and cat who love to cuddle and play! Your fur babies won’t be bored one bit!
“David did a great job with our dog and house. His prices were fair. His communications were timely. He was kind, respectful and professional. We're planning on using him again for the next dog walking job.”

“Cassidy was wonderful in walking my two dogs! She was flexible in scheduling and on-time as agreed. Very friendly and clearly happy to be with the dogs. I look forward to getting her help with the dogs again in the future.”

“Kim is so great with our Parker! She’s very reliable, takes him on good walks to get him some exercise, and cares so much for him. She also always takes very nice pictures!”
“Lauren was a pleasure to work with and having her help was greatly appreciated and our pups enjoyed her visiting ! She's very responsive and takes in feedback very well! I would recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have grown up with dogs, and love all dogs. Neighbors and family members have relied on me to take care of their dogs. This includes feeding, exercising, medication and play time! I am experienced with handling puppies and with senior dogs as well. I currently don’t have any other commitments, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your doggies! I’m available Sunday through Saturday all day and or night. I will follow set instructions if you have any in regards to being in your home. Otherwise, I will care for your beloved puppy like they are my own and use my judgment.
“Erika had to be the best dog walker I’ve ever had. I would honestly, never want to use anyone else. I had a trip out of town that ended up having multiple flight delays and cancellations. I ended up having to extend the care last minute — she graciously worked with me on a moments notice. She was very polite and charismatic at meet and greet, took phenomenal care of Athena, was constantly quick to respond, kept me updated, sent photos, had full flexibility. She also helped work through any logistic issues efficiently and empathetically. My electronic lock to front door broke due to battery and she was at leasing office first thing, handling the situation for me. She made sure it was fixed and reassured me through my travels. She took my trash out. Left a thank you card. From start to finish she went above and beyond. It honestly felt like she treated my dog and home as her own, which is rare to find in sitters. Tremendous dog care provider. Would highly, highly recommend.”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter and caregiver, I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine love for animals to ensure the utmost care and comfort for your beloved pets. My journey in pet care began with the tender care of my elderly dog during his final years. With patience and empathy, I managed his special needs, including administering medications and tending to issues like incontinence with diligence and compassion. From navigating senior care to assisting with puppy training, I adapt my approach to suit each pet's unique requirements, always prioritizing their well-being and happiness. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement techniques, such as clicker training, to foster a strong bond built on trust and respect. By rewarding good behavior with treats and praise, I create a nurturing environment conducive to learning and growth. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I am readily available throughout the day to tend to your pet's needs promptly and attentively. My expertise isn't limited to dogs; I am equally adept at caring for cats, drawing from my own experience with my two feline companions and extended care for friends' and family's cats. Whether it's administering medication, providing companionship, or assisting with training, I approach each interaction with warmth, reliability, and a genuine passion for animal welfare. With me as your pet sitter, you can rest assured that your furry friends are in capable and caring hands. I work from home, so I can available when you need it! I am apart of a musical production until the end of May, but that only takes a few hours in the evening. With working from home, I can take my laptop with me and work from wherever needed! I live in an apartment, but if your pet is here, I can take them for regular walks and I live near a dog park for some socialization and fun! I have two cats that tend to keep to themselves. They are good with other cats and do well with dogs. If they don't like an animal, they stay in my bedroom rather than confronting. In the clients home, I can stop by multiple times of day, which is my usual service, or if the client requests, I can provide overnight care at the clients home.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, as well as a few cats, for years in a more casual setting. I usually sit for friends, family friends, and neighbors, usually through check-ins, and only a few times with boarding in my own home. I have two dogs of my own, ages 5 and 9mo who were both raised from puppies, so I have basic puppy training and grooming skills. I also have experience with dogs who need regular medication or who have specialized/specific diets. I am open to caring for any pets except birds, special needs/sensitive reptiles, and insects. I am currently a student at Penn State and I am looking for summer job in my hometown. I would most likely be free at almost any time during the week and would be open to over night stays as well with prior notice. I would be open to set a meeting with you and your pet before house sitting or check-in dates to discuss schedules and specifics as well as to meet your pet. I am currently unable to sit at my own house. My contact info will be provided and I will be available for call at all points during my care for your pet.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for years. I previously worked at a veterinary hospital, where I cared for pets in a kennel setting and assisted with appointments, giving me experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and also currently furthering my vet med education. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am a stay at home (expecting) mom, and my schooling is also done at home. You can rest assured knowing that your fur baby will get constant attention and affection I have ample house space and yard space for your fur baby. I also make walks apart of my daily habit so you can rest assured knowing your baby will get all the exercise they could dream of
About: I’ve always had pets in my house growing up. I’ve fostered kittens and volunteered at local animal shelters. I have experienced bottle feedings, house breaking, and senior dogs and handle them all with ease and love. I am currently running my family business and spend most of my weekdays day at home. This allows my weekdays to have flexibility and availability to pet parents who work during the day. My home is located in downtown Frederick and I also have a fenced in backyard. I can easily get to many areas of Frederick quickly and with ease. My pets at home are friendly and welcome guests! We have fostered cats and often have other dogs visit.
About: I have been a dog owner for 10+ years. I watch the family dogs when they are out of town. I have experience working with therapy dogs in healthcare settings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available as needed. I am punctual and will provide excellent service for your pet. I’ll help put your mind at ease while you are out of town. I am respectful of client’s pets and their home. I will clean up any messes made and will give the pet attention and care.
“Nancy is fantastic. She takes my dog for a walk multiple times a week. She's very reliable and gives me feedback on my pet after each walk. She's on time and keeps my mind at ease to focus on work when I'm at work. Nancy and my dog really seem to enjoy their time together each day. I would definitely recommend Nancy to anyone needing a kind and responsible person to care for their pet.”

Applegate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tracy came over for a meet and greet and then took Roxy for a long walk. I was very impressed by her experience and her interaction with our dog. I was so confident that she’s a good match that I’ve already booked her for an upcoming walk…and I’m sure there are many more in our future!

Connie was the best!! I just got my pup from a shelter and he was a big boy with lots of energy and very little training. Connie took the time address issues he was struggling with in training and still make sure he was getting the exercise he needed. You can tell how much love she has for the dogs she works with. I definitely will be booking with Connie in the future.

Ellie was so great with our dog Milo! We had her come over twice to check on him while we were spending the day in DC. She was super cognizant of the heat and made sure Milo was comfortable on his walk. Ellie was communicative and sent great pictures of Milo during both of her visits!

Anhelika was great with our little guy. She helped us out and took him on a 30 minute walk during the work day that gave us peace of mind he was taken care of while we are working. He had a great time and looks forward to walking around the neighborhood with his new friend again soon.
