House Sitting Benedict

“Star fire is amazing! She took great care of our herd and kept me super informed. We have 3 Great Danes and a German Shepherd and they loved her. We will definitely be rebooking her!”

“Summer was great! She came to the house for a meet and greet with the animals and then came over for a second meeting to go over house sitting and pet care details. She was very attentive, and the animals loved her. Summer was so understanding when our plans had to change somewhat unexpectedly. We would definitely use Summer again.”

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.

“We greatly appreciate Ashley taking such wonderful care of our dogs! She kept us updated with lots of pictures and communicated well throughout the entire stay. Our house was left in great condition, and we could tell our dogs were in excellent hands. We would definitely use Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. The dogs look forward to having her care for them again soon!”

“Ella was seriously amazing! Right from the start, she was super quick to respond and even took the time to swing by for a meet and greet with our dog. We've never left our dog with anyone other than family, so we were a bit nervous, but Ella did great! She kept us updated with pictures and messages so we could relax and enjoy our time away, knowing that he was well taken care of. Our dog loved Ella and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Over the years I have had experience with dogs, rabbits, fish, cats, pigs, cows, chickens. I grew up on a farm with cows, pigs, and chickens. As an adult I have owned a rottweiler (2011-2019) and labradoodle(2016-2020) that I absolutely loved and made me fall in love with dogs. They are now angels watching over me. I currently have five kitties rocky (17yrs), Simba (7yrs), Gracie (2yrs), Penny (2yrs), and Bella (1yr). During COVID I had pet and food rabbits and chickens for meat and eggs. I work fulltime during the day usually Monday through Friday 5am-4pm. I work part time on the weekends for a DJ which is usually just Saturdays 3pm to 11pm depending on the event. I enjoy my down time caring for my furrbabies and making sure they have food and water and clean litter boxes. I am always trying to find new ways to make them live a better and happier life. I have a split foyer with 5 cute and lovable kitties. I have a temporary catio on my deck for them to safely enjoy the outdoors. I live in a semi quiet neighborhood that I enjoy taking longs walks around. I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me and not scared as stress is not good for an animal. I love getting outside and going for walks so if your animal needs a walk, it will just make my heart happier to have company. Fuurbabies are family so I will treat your furrbaby just like if they were my own.

“Leah is fantastic! We all know a “dog Mom” that doesn’t want to leave home because of her BABY!! (That’s me??‍♀️) Leah is patient and attentive, she went above and beyond for us on an extended stay. My dog, my home and my sanity were all in check with Leah. I can’t thank you enough, we will be booking again!”

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer. I’ve been caring for pets professionally since 2013, and I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and your pet’s routine. Care is built around patient, attentive care. I pay attention to the little things, from a dog’s favorite route to the way a cat likes to be greeted, so visits feel familiar and comfortable. I serve families in Charles, Calvert, and St. Mary’s Counties and are insured through Pet Sitters Associates. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life, both with my own pets and through Waldorf Walkers & Pet Sitting. I plan my week around scheduled walks and visits so each pet gets dependable care and plenty of attention. With over 13 years of professional experience, I understand how much consistency matters. Whether it’s a midday walk or care while their family is away, I make time for each pet’s individual needs—and a little extra love, too! I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel comfortable and can keep their familiar routines. For dog walks, I provide exercise at their pace, time to sniff and explore, fresh water, and plenty of affection. During pet sitting visits, I follow each family’s instructions for feeding, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they’re ready to play or need a little patience to warm up. After each visit, I send photos and an update so you know how your pet is doing. I also treat your home with care and make sure everything is secure before leaving.

About: I enjoy being around all types of pets. As I try to understand animals as well as making them feel understood in their own ways. I have been pet sitting for about 7 years, including drop in visits, walks and staying overnight. I currently work at Calvert Animal Hospital and have been there for 4 years. If your pet is in need of a medication administration there will be an additional charge. This price will depend on the medication, how much and how often. I currently work part time at Calvert Animal Hospital as well as am in community college full time. But I would like to stay in the animal field. Pet sitting is something I enjoy doing and enjoy helping people out. Caring for pets is truly a one of a kind job, I know with me as their sitter they will receive lots of love, treats and quality time and care throughout my stay.

“This was my first time having someone other than family watch my dog overnight, and Aliyah put any worries that I had at ease. She was able to follow all of my instructions, and maintained good communication with me daily regarding my dog while I was away. She even sent pictures and videos of him 😊 One thing that is helpful for my dog is his routine, and Aliyah maintained his normal routine without any issues. She also maintained a clean space while I was gone. I’d definitely book Aliyah again if I have to leave my dog overnight! She’s dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. My dog loves her! We are very appreciative!”

“Shemoy worked closely with us to make sure our dogs were comfortable before we left them. She treated our babies like her own and always kept us fully updated :)”

“Shantae was a tentative on time and really took great care of our two year-old and six month old puppy. Our puppy had no accidents either in the house with her which is amazing while she still is still potty training. Shantae was able to look out for the signs to help her continuously be successful in potty training. If you’re looking for someone who will take care and treat your fur babies like royalty.”

“Elizabeth was attentive to Daisy's needs per the 'care & feeding' instructions we provided. Just as importantly, she treated Daisy as if her own, which was apparent by Daisy snoozling on Betsy's luggage as she prepared to leave.”

About: I have 4 dogs of my own that range from all sizes and breeds. I also work as a kennel attendant at a local boarding facility and when not caring for my own dogs I enjoy helping others care for theirs in the comfort of their own home. While currently a part time student and part time employee some days are busy. Weekend availability will always vary but will be known in advance. During the summer weekday availability is more open due to being out of school. While caring for your dog in your home I am always ready to adapt to their environment and care for them as you would on any ordinary day and do what it takes to make them feel comfortable and loved.

“Sanai has been an absolute delight! She is incredibly respectful, clean, and kind, and has taken exceptional care of our three-month-old puppy, Obi. My husband and I highly recommend her and fully trust her to care for our fur baby in the future.”

Jay & Yara F.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. It is my firm belief that pets are part of the family and should be treated like family. I have two “fur babies”, Luke and Noelle. Luke is a lab mix and Noelle is a pitbull terrier mix. Noelle is deaf, which means I have experience with dogs with special needs. I am available for dog walking, drop ins, sitting, etc. I am flexible throughout the summer months, as I am a teacher and do not work during these months. During the school year I am available in the early afternoon and in the evenings. I am looking forward to working with you and your family! Rest assured that your tiny (or big) furry family members will be in great hands!

“She has been so great and attentive. I really am pleased that she was able to stay with my dogs and keep them in their comfortable space. I will book with her again.”

Devon T.

“Alexis did a wonderful job house sitting for us! All animals (bird, fish, and dog) were all taken care of as well as our home. I highly recommend her! Thank you, Alexis!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and feel very comfortable handling pets with different needs and personalities. I currently work in recreational therapy twice a week, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail skills that carry over into providing safe and attentive pet care. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, consistency, an supervision they deserve. At home, our family has five dogs, so I am very familiar with managing multiple pets at once and maintaining consistent schedules. In addition to daily care, I have experience with overnight dog sitting that includes week-long stays where I handled feeding, walks, playtime and managing pet's normal routines. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and cats and I understand how to adjust care depending on energy level and age. I have also taken care of chickens while house sitting, so I am comfortable with a variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats. I am able to drive, which allies me to be available for drop ins, walks, and emergencies if needed. Overall, I am dedicated to making families feel safe with leaving their pets at home and making the pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time and am an online college student. I work Wednesday and Friday nights from 4pm-9pm. For my college classes I do not have to be on any type of zoom, so I do my course work at my own pace. I provide care in my clients home so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and keep pets aware from anything that may be unsafe. I work to build trust with both owners and pets by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet's personality. I also have reliable transportation, so if an emergency does arise I can provide additional needs.
