“Morgan took great care of our two 100+ lb mastiffs and elderly 5lb cat over the July 4th weekend. The house was left in perfect shape. The animals were happy, minimally stressed even after a night of fireworks, and had zero complaints. Morgan kept us informed all throughout the booking of the animal's welfare and activities. A++, would book again.”

About: Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home dog mom with over 3+ years of hands-on professional experience in animal care from working in a Kennel, 10+ years of personal experience and a heart full of love for every pet I meet. Since my husband takes care of our household financially, I’m incredibly lucky to do this purely out of passion, not necessity. That means your pet isn’t just another booking to me—they become part of my daily life and routine, and I treat them like family. What sets me apart from other sitters? I’m home all day, so your furry friend gets constant love, attention, and care. I don’t overbook, and I always prioritize quality time, play, and personalized care based on your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or keeping up with feeding routines and medications, I’m here to give your pet the comfort and consistency they deserve. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. You can count on me to send regular updates, adorable photos, and give your pet a loving home-away-from-home while you're away. Pet care is my routine! I spend most of my day with animals—whether it’s my own pup or the pets I’m caring for. My availability is very, very open so please don't be afraid to reach out! I’m home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep everything as stress-free and familiar as possible for your furry friend. I stick closely to your routine—meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions you leave. I want your pet to feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their own space while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and care. I keep things clean, tidy, and organized, and I always double-check doors, gates, and food storage to ensure your pet stays safe. Whether it’s watering a few plants, bringing in the mail, or keeping your pet company during the day or overnight, I’m happy to help however I can.

About: Hello! I have been housesitting for about 5 years now for horses, dogs, cats, and more. I have experience in first aid and medication administering if needed. As well as spending my youth in 4-H and working in animal based settings, I am very knowledgeable of proper care. I strive to bring a positive energy around all animals I’m currently working part time, and I am in college part time as well. I am happy to work around both our schedules as I can be flexible! Any time spent with animals is time well spent for me! I am happy to continue whatever schedule/habits you like to keep your pets on while you’re away. I have learned so much about proper care over the years, and I will ensure your pet is happy and healthy!

“Faith is a fantastic petsitter! We were out of town for 8 days and didn't have to worry about a thing back home. It was wonderful to find a caring person who could spend this much time with our pets. Boarding can be so stressful on our big dogs, but Faith was able to do overnights and wasn't intimidated by our Dobermans in the slightest. She was a perfect fit, and we were so blessed to find her on Rover. It was our first experience with the service platform being new to Southern Maryland, but we will be repeat customers for sure.”

“Kara was amazing. Super responsive to messages, updated us throughout the days on how the boys were doing. Will definitely be using her services in thw future!”

Sarah M.

“Liz was wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure our timid dog was comfortable and that we knew she was cared for. I definitely recommend Liz as a dog sitter.”

About: I have always loved dogs and had my own, but I started caring for other people’s dogs at around 13 years old. In early 2022, I started working at the doggy daycare/boarding facility I currently work at, and I am now a manager there. I am responsible for feeding, bathing, administering medication, playing with and cleaning up after dogs of all different breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes, and I couldn’t be more passionate about my job. I currently work full time (at a dog kennel), and my schedule is consistent but switches days every week. I know my schedule very far out in advance so it should be easy to work with! I have 2 dogs at home that are well trained but not very friendly with other dogs, so at home boarding does not work for me. However, at your home, I can work with whatever system you have going for your dogs already, whether that be a crate training system or something different. I have plenty of experience from my current job and can meet all the needs you and your furry friend need to be satisfied:)

“Ben was great. He provided lots of updates, brought in packages, and I came home to the house exactly as I’d left it - TV on for the pups, just like they’re used to!”

About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

About: I have been told that I am very patient when it comes to pets. I let them come to me and if they don’t want to I don’t force them. I am very careful to make sure the pets are happy and can get to know and love any pet. My life can fluctuate from busy to free depending on the time of year, but I always make time for my pets. It makes me happy to see them and take care of them on a daily and weekly basis. To care for pets, I make sure that they are ok and give them food and water first. Then I give them all the attention they need and make sure they are happy. I don’t just check in and leave, I like to spend time with them so they aren’t lonely.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old and have been around almost every breed. Have also delt with dogs with anxiety and a newborn pups. I work part time and have plenty of time to take care and love on your pup, and let them have the best time and exercise. I have a fenced in yard , and lovable playful pup of my own. I can crate dog or dogs if needed. Make sure they are fed given water ( medicine if needed) . Love going on walks .

About: I have been around all types of animals since I was born. Dogs, cats, hamsters, you name it and I have probably taken care of it. I have personal and professional experience with animals as I have been a kennel assistant in the past where I was trained in cpr and administering medication. My pets retest that knowledge everyday with their medication schedule! I have taken care of family members, neighbors, and friends animals and would love to take care of yours! Fortunately I am not the breadwinner in my household so I am always available for your pets needs! No weather is too hot or too cold for me to get out there! Whatever works for you will work for me! I know everyone has a different method of madness so you can just fill me in and I promise they wont even notice the difference!

About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.

About: I have had animals all my life and currently have 2 cats that are mine. My two dogs also live at home so I have been around animals all my life. I’m currently working part time due to school this upcoming semester. Most of my classes are online so I spend a lot of time at home. I make frequent stops at home during the work day as I’m only 10 minutes from home to let my dogs out of my parents aren’t home. I have an electric fence however dogs would be put on leash. My cats have all their necessities in my room so the pet I would be pet sitting for would stay in the guest bedroom in the basement with me to avoid troubles.

About: Throughout my life, I’ve cared for animals of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets. I often watch dogs for friends and family, which has given me experience taking care of pets for long periods and following their daily routines closely. I make sure they get everything they need—on time and with lots of love. I'm as available as possible to care for your dog. I work a small part-time job from 10 AM to 2 PM, but I'm free the rest of the day. I’d love to spend time with your dog—whether it’s playing, going for walks, or making sure they have everything they need. I take the time to learn your pet’s daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any special care they require. Sticking to their regular schedule helps ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for while you're away.
