“5/5 Stars! Fantastic communication and very dependable, especially for a late request. Ash was right on time helping my senior dad with our dog Einstein's walks. When Einstein decided he was done early on his second walk, Ash was so understanding and even refunded a partial amount. We will definitely use her again and Highly Recommend!”
About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 7 years old. Dogs mostly, but also cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, and fish. Now I am a mature, reliable professional who loves pets as much as ever, but unfortunately my living situation is not ideal to have my own right now. I look forward to connecting with folks who need an assist in caring for their animals and loving them as if they were my own. My schedule is somewhat flexible with plenty of early morning and afternoon availability, as well as evenings opening up at 9 or 10 pm. This is true 7 days a week with 2 rotating days off each week. I typically have one 3-day weekend available each month. My place is not conducive to have your pets stay. But I am happy to come to you, whether for a walk, a feeding, playtime, some combination of all of the above. I also welcome the opportunity to stay over in your home if the need arises and trust has been established.
“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!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was a teenager. In this house we have fur babies, not pets and we take getting our daily dose of fresh air seriously. Our home is a safe and fun place for your babies to play and relax just as they would in their home. Currently my schedule is very flexible; let me know your needs and I’ll do my absolute best to meet them! I care for my pets every day and have no problem ensuring yours are cared for too! I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood, have a fenced in back yard, and walking distance from a dog park. Tell me what works best for your dog (how many walks a day and when, any quirky habits, what works best for feeding) any thing that will help me care for your baby as I care for mine.
About: *"As a 5-star reviewed sitter offering competitive daily rates, my goal is to provide premium, trustworthy care that fits your budget. I believe top-tier pet care shouldn't come with a stressful price tag, which is why my rates include full-time supervision, medication administration if needed, and frequent photo updates. With a lifetime of animal experience, I am fully equipped to handle high-energy pups, senior dogs, and detailed medical routines. Because I work from home, your pet will enjoy a highly flexible, attentive schedule filled with structured walks and plenty of companionship. You get total peace of mind and 5-star service, all at an affordable rate."* Answer "Because I work from home and my family is almost always around, pet care is seamlessly integrated into our daily routine. My flexible schedule allows for regular walks and playtime, and with multiple people in the house, your pet will rarely, if ever, be left completely alone. Your pup will enjoy constant supervision, a bustling and loving environment, and plenty of attention from morning until night." When pets stay in my home, they are treated like members of the family. Because I work from home and my family is always around, your pet will enjoy constant supervision and companionship. Our daily routine includes morning walks, frequent potty breaks, and structured playtime. We maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can relax right by my side while I work, or lounge with the family. I strictly follow your specific feeding, medication, and crating instructions to keep their routine exactly like it is at home."
About: My experience and education ensures the safety of animals of varying temperament levels and backgrounds. I enjoy the process of building trust and confidence with animals through approved training methods/mental enrichment activities and using non verbal cues in a playful and meaningful way. Because I don't own any pets of my own I'm able to assist pet owners when they're away from home. I often accept requests up to 3 months ahead of time but, if possible, I will accept same day requests. Many clients value how I communicate and ask if I'm a trainer (I'm not certified yet) because I handle animals so well. You can expect detailed observational updates twice a day accompanied with photos and videos.
“Samantha is the best! She's been our dog walker since January, several walks a week! She's professional, courteous, punctual, caring, and attentive. Most importantly, our husky, Merida, is in great hands & one happy dog! -Alyssa & Jim Young”
About: I’ve owned dachshunds, mutts, and heelers ever since I was in middle school. With puppy school training and all of that, I have learned to respect and work well with furry dog babies. Looking forward to safely walking your dog all over beautiful downtown Frederick. My day job downtown is very flexible and I set my own schedule. I have many substantial breaks throughout the day on week days..morning and afternoon. I can be flexible and set up specific regular times to walk your dog or make a house visit. Dogs need quality care and attention. They need exercise and to breathe fresh air, just like we humans do. Your dog and I will be able to get out and enjoy the day together outside and/or spend time together inside and receive their daily treats and meals. Lots of love and ear scratches will be had.
About: I have taken care of not only my own pets for almost my entire life, but also I have helped friends and family with their fur-babie(s)! I even taught my dog her lefts and rights. She’s a smart little pup. 🐶 As of today, (8/11/25), I have a pretty open schedule and I will adjust my schedule on here, promptly, if my schedule changes! Feel free to ask any questions, I’m also willing to do some same day pet care, if needed! I plan to make sure during my time with any pet that they are taken care of in a safe, proper, and caring manner, whilst also following any specific instructions of my clients needs for their fur-babie(s) & their homes.
About: I have worked with animals my entire life in both a casual and professional setting. As a teenager I worked with horses, dogs, and cats on a farm providing training and medical care. I have also worked professionally as an animal caretaker in the Frederick/Montgomery County area with many clients including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, chickens, ducks, and pigs. I have experience with animals who have specialized needs including medical care and behavioral issues. I currently work as an RN in adolescent psych which takes me away from home all day Sunday-Tuesday so unfortunately those days are unavailable. Otherwise I do pick up overtime here and there so I’m best to cover for one-off needs or a vacation. When I am off of work I can be flexible and I will work with you to accommodate your pets needs. Safety is a top priority of mine. I always ensure I am aware of my surroundings both in the home and on walks. I respect each animal as unique and independent and take the time to ensure not only that I am providing them with lots of love but that I get to know them and their quirks in order to provide them the best care possible.
About: I’ve had pets in my home since I can remember. I grow up with a Shih Tzu name Teddy which was my first love when it came to having pets. They are literally the way to my heart. I always had my own pets, but as I’ve gotten older moving around and taking them with me became harder. I’ve trained almost all my pets myself; well with the help of my mother and little brother. I've always had my own dog which has gave me much experience with handling them. I treat every dog like my own. I tell people all the time “pets are just family members that can’t speak” which is almost like that saying “your children are your broke best friend”. Both are still relevant. I am currently working remote 3 days out of the week allowing me to care for pets as needed & Keep your pet on schedule While in my home I assure your dog will get plenty of exercise with outdoor adventures (trails, walks, beach etc.) & keep them from harm.
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.
“Keyan was able to help me out on very short notice. He took great care of my older pup. Was very understanding of my concerns with the heat and her arthritis. I will definitely be using him long term when I need the help!”
About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know every dog and cat has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and comfort level to help them feel safe and happy while you're away(๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝* I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week!! I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give every pet the attention, love, and care they deserve while their owners are away!! (,; ⩌ ;,) Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow your routine and care instructions closely to help them feel secure and comfortable.

About: Howdy! I'm Nicole, a certified professional dog trainer and lifelong dog enthusiast. My world has always been filled with canines and a love for understanding behavior. This fueled my passion for learning about dog training, and obtaining a degree in Psychology. With 10+ years of professional experience, you can rest assured that when your pup is with me — it’s receiving the best care available. I have thousands of hours under my belt from volunteering at shelters with dogs since the 6th grade, graduating from a Canine Behavior Apprentice Program, earning my CPDT-KA, and specializing as a Master in Aggression. This has allowed me to become highly skilled with handling a variety of breeds and behaviors; from leash-reactive walkers to cuddly couch potatoes. I’m a fan of them all ♥️ I'm not just a trainer; I'm also a dedicated caregiver. I’m trained in Red Cross Pet First Aid, and my own dog has glaucoma. I've cared for deaf dogs, and dogs recovering after leg injuries. This taught me the ins and outs of special care. So administering meds or eye drops? No problem! Your furry family member's time with me means fun, safety, and lots of learning. Whether it's reinforcing good habits or just enjoying playtime, I've got it covered. Let's make your dog's next walk - or drop-in visit, a tail-wagging adventure! I’ll be walking dogs in between my hours as the assistant manager of America’s VetDogs Service Dog Prison Puppy Program. I love walking and am happy to help others get their dogs out and exercised. Safety is a top priority for me. I always make sure that I am present, and focused on the current moment, to ensure that a dog is safe in my hands. As well as double checking gear to make sure everything is secure before use. Due to my experience with aggressive dogs, I understand the importance of situational awareness with any pet — and keep an eye to make sure the environment we’re walking in is safe as well.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young. I grew up caring for various pets, including fish, birds, and cats. During my studies in Turkey and while living with family, I cared for dogs and helped raise them hands on. I treat every pet with genuine love, patience, and attentiveness, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be present and attentive. Whether it's feeding, playing, or regular check in, I can easily adapt my daily routine to fit your pet's exact needs, ensuring they receive constant care, love, and attention throughout the day Pet safety, comfort, and well being remain absolute top priorities. A calm, secure, and loving environment is provided by closely following specific instructions regarding feeding, routines, and daily care

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Applegate
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience! My dogs are extremely energetic and can definitely be a handful but Sarah handled them with so much patience, care and confidence. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. The communication was great and I could tell my dogs were well taken care of. I truly appreciate the time and effort put into making sure they were happy. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and patient dog walker. I will absolutely be booking again!
Jennifer was great! She was on time and she asked detailed questions about the overall care and expectations of caring for my dog Nala. She took Nala for a walk and Nala had a great time! Jennifer included photos as well from the walk. We will be using her again in the near future!
Daphine did a great job with my 85 lb Goldendoodle. My dog is a "handful" but Daphine was skilled enough to gain his trust, encourage him into the leash and on a fun walk (in the rain!). My dog was super happy afterward and seemed to really enjoy being with Daphine. We'll definitely use her services in the future.
Ashley is awesome!! She was great with our male lab who is still learning the ropes on the leash. He loves her! She’s warm, friendly, thoughtful - going above and beyond for us. She is definitely an animal lover through and through. You’re in great hands in her care. Highly recommend Ashley!
