Dog Sitting Buckeystown

About: I have taken care of all types of animals all my life. Exotic pets, as well as cats and dogs. I have a kitty baby of my own who I fostdopted In 2018 I have a 9-5 but It’s flexible as i work from home. I can do multiple short visits as needed, I know my baby gets anxious when no one is home. I have the utmost care and respect for animals, they need love attention and affection like any creature. I nurture and speak to them and will give the best treats ( i have a chewy account)

About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. For many years my neighbors have counted on me to drop-in and ensure their dogs are safe and well taken care of when they were not home. I have also walked dogs and prepared the dogs food for the elderly for many years. I am currently working part time 3-4 times a week, so I would love to spend time with your dogs! On the days that I work I am available before 10am and after 5pm, but on the days I don’t work I am available all day! I have a small fenced yard with more land outside of that which is unfenced. I have an outdoor cat that roams around and comes inside occasionally. I am easily able to control and crate dogs as needed as well as prepare food and medicine for dogs while keeping the environment clean and safe.

“Thank you so much for your help tonight and letting me have a night out. I will definitely use your services in the future! Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! :)”

“Jess was wonderful with my little Aussie — she was patient when taking her for a walk and made sure she could romp around our yard, but also made sure her paws were clean when she came in. She also made sure to check in on our other animals to make sure everyone had what they needed. Looking forward to continuing to work with Jess.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since a young age and have always had a deep affinity and connection to animals. I approach all animals with love, patience, and respect. Pet care is a priority for me. I am currently devoted to pet care full time and am even available for same day visits for your fur babies. I will always treat your fur baby or babies with the utmost respect and love. I am happy to follow all routines, whether it be a feeding schedule, walking, and any other routine your baby has.

“Grace is absolutely amazing! I contacted her last minute to check in on my two huskies while I was out of town, and she did a fantastic job! She always kept me updated and sent pictures each day. She was very flexible and even fed them one day for me even though I had to ask at the last minute. It’s hard for me to leave my dogs, but she made it easier because I knew I could trust her to care for them! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Kassidy is a loving and friendly professional. She takes great care of my fur babies when I go out of town. She is punctual, communicative, and a great friend to my dog Teddy. I would recommend her to anyone in the Frederick area. Thank you Kassidy!!”

About: I have two dogs of my own, and I am quite experienced with handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have received training on how to better understand the signals that dogs give us in order to determine how they are feeling (scared, excited, cautious, angry, etc.), and I have applied that training to my previous job at a doggy daycare countless times. I graduated college in December of 2016, and I’m still figuring out how to combine my Hospitality Management degree and my passion for caring for animals! I really enjoy dog walking because I find happiness in knowing that I provide comfort and peace of mind to those owners who aren’t able to be with their fur babies in the middle of the day!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I am an animal lover, and since I was a child I felt a need to help animals as best as I could, whether it was a bird who couldn't fly, an abandoned kitten, or a lost dog. As an adult, I trapped and found homes for several stray cats, I got a dog from a rescue group and had 16 wonderful years with him. My fur baby died last year and since I am not able to get a new dog, I would love to care for other people's dogs and cats whenever I can. I also understand how hard it is to travel and leave your fur babies behind. I had to do it for many years with my dog, and I cried every time I had to leave him, even if it was with a trusted and loving sitter. Stay assured that your dog will get all the love, exercise, and attention he/she needs. I have a 5 year old and two older kids (12, 15) so your dog will need to be OK around children. I am a teacher. I work from 8:30 to 4:00 M-F during the school year. I will be off for all holidays and in the summer. If I am watching a dog for a long weekend, I can go home for lunch and let the dog out. Dogs are never left alone for more than 4 hours. I live in a townhouse and I have a small fenced yard with a grassy area behind it, but I also love to walk them around the neighborhood. My kids love to help and play with the dogs too. Your dog will be allowed everywhere in the house and will be part of our family during his/her stay. My problem is that I get attached to each dog and it's always hard to say goodbye!

“JT was great with our two energetic dogs! We also have chickens and JT called to say that one evidently escaped the run. Chasing chickens wasn’t part of his duties, but he called back 10 minutes later saying he had caught her and put her in the other, escape-proof coop. Yea! We’d book with JT again anytime!”

“Dianna is fantastic. She is flexible, trustworthy, great at communication and excellent with my pup. What more can you ask for in a dog-sitter, really? We will definitely book Dianna again!”

“Heidi was a wonderful sitter for our two Havanese and little parakeet. She sent pictures and updates and was very responsive with texts. Our girls loved her, and we will definitely be asking her to watch them again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them!”

About: Hey there! I am a graduate student studying education, and I’m currently working for the local school system and in the process to become a full time teacher. I grew up with and around all types of animals my entire life. I am in tune to learning their personalities and what they each need and like to make them the happiest they can be! I no longer have pets (due to old age), but for many years I had two bengal cats who needed lots of attention and activity. Chloe is the kitty in the car photo with me. :) I am experienced around elderly cats and dogs, and frequently have delivered mediation to both dogs and cats of all ages. I am very active and outdoorsy, so active pets who need a lot of exercise are no problem. I also have experience around other animal breeds. I lived with family who owned large and small birds, horses, and chickens. And I grew up owning various reptiles. My schedule follows Frederick County Public School’s schedule. I work from 7am - 2:30pm weekdays. And I am off from work (other than teacher work days) on the same schedule students are off. I will take careful attention to the specific needs of your pet and their preferences and routine. This will vary depending on the pet and the owners preferences! My animals at home have a set schedule for feeding and daily walks and play! They sleep with me and do homework with me from school.

“Zalea took great care of Sakura and Panda (cats). She did a week of drop in care for my cats. From the pictures she sent during her visits the cats loved her. I would recommend her service to anyone. Thank you.”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs for years. I’ve taken care of every dog age (puppy-elder) by taking them on walks/jogs, feeding, bathing, and simply just spending time with them so they don’t get lonely:) Pet care is a consistent part of my routine. I’m partially responsible for three family pets on top of having a cat of my own, so I’m always managing feeding, check ins, and general upkeep. I also have experience with longer term care, a week or more, so I’m comfortable taking on full responsibility when needed. I’m willing to take dogs on walks/jogs to get some exercise in, feed them when needed, spend time playing with them and keeping them company, take them outside to do their business when needed.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I love animals. I find it an honor for someone to trust me with their furry friends. I work as a free lancer so I’m available most days from 8am-6pm. I can stay the night if needed and am happy to sit over the weekend. When visiting a clients home I make sure that I do what I came there to do and not too much more! I make sure to clean up after pets and leave the way I found it.

“Wonderful! Felt like my doggos were with family! You can tell Maureen really cares for the pets she’s watching. I will look to book her again any time we need to travel.”

About: I have had the joy and privilege of caring for other people’s fur babies as if they were my own since I was 13 years old. From a young age, I always knew my life would revolve around animals, and that passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet sitting isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. In addition to years of hands-on pet sitting experience, I have been working in the veterinary medicine field since 2008. My veterinary background has given me extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, as well as cats and kittens. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, high-energy puppies, and those who may need a little extra patience and understanding. As part of my professional journey, I became Fear Free certified in both pet sitting and the veterinary field. This means I prioritize minimizing stress and creating a calm, positive environment for every pet in my care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Because of my veterinary experience, I am confident and skilled in administering medications, including both oral and injectable medications. I also understand the critical importance of proper dosing and strict medication schedules, and I take timing requirements very seriously. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When they’re with me, they’re treated like the valuable family members they are. I am currently working as a Rehab and Sports Medicine Department Care Coordinator at Veterinary Referral Associates. My work schedule is 9:00am- 5:00pm, Monday-Friday. In choosing me as your pet sitter, I tried to work my schedule around your needs outside my work schedule. Message me so we can chat about it more! My main goal when it comes to taking care of any furbaby is to try and keep things as close to their normal schedule as possible. Whether that means feeding multiple meals a day, providing ample bathroom breaks or walks, to sleeping arrangements from being in a crate to sleeping in bed with me; I do what’s best to make your pet happy and content while under my care.

About: When your dog comes to our home, we treat them like our own. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I know how important it is to find the absolute best care for them while you are away. Having pet sit for family and friends dogs and also fostered several dogs, we have experience with all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs and various breeds. I have two daughters who love to spend time with dogs that come to our house and always give lots of love and attention. I currently only have weekend availability due to recent return to office - happy to help during the week if your dog is used to an 8 hour day normally. Please reach out to see if it is something we can accommodate and you are comfortable with. Most days I will be able to get them out for a bathroom break around lunchtime. I will care for your dog the same you do to keep things consistent for them. We can leave them out if we have to leave or crate them, whichever you prefer.
