“Julia has been wonderful! Really great with my young pup who can be difficult to handle at times, but he loves her! Julia is super responsive, always on time, and more than willing to assist us even if an issue arises last second. I highly recommend her services!”
“We appreciate Elspeth's help in taking care of our chocolate lab Ziggy while we were on a day trip. She is an excellent communicator and very conscientious, and it was clear she did a fine job taking care of Ziggy's needs for a potty break, food, and play. She will be our go-to sitter whenever she's available.”
About: Hi my name is Fran. I’m a mostly stay at home Mom in Mt. Airy with a 3 year old and 6 year old and 1 year old. We live on 5 acres, all fenced, across from the state park and in addition to 2 dogs have horses, chickens, and an outside cat. Both me and my husband have owned dogs all our lives, and experienced in animal care. Professionally, I’ve worked as a barn manager, dog groomer, dog walker, trainer, and dog handler for an Iditarod musher! I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and absolutely love it!!!! I care greatly about dogs and make sure that they are well taken care of with plenty of love and exercise. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all of my life. As a little kid my childhood dog was my constant companion and when I wasn't with him I was with the neighbors' dogs. In my twenties I moved to Alaska where I pursued a career in dog mushing and for two years lived with 120 dogs! Unfortunately due to frostbite I had to move back to the east coast. Meet my pets I have 2 dogs, Cash a one year old Australian Shepherd and Littles a 15 year old Boston terrier mix. Both love to play!! Cash is still a puppy and will play all day long!! He loves every dog he meets. Littles is 15 and recently lost his sight He’ll try to keep up with Cash but mostly just loves to sleep. I also have 2 horses, Shadow and Dandy (the love of my life) in their late twenties, some chickens, and a barn cat. About my yard I live on five acres across from Patuxent State Park. We have a huge fenced in backyard, with lots of trails in walking distance! My experience administering medication Yes I have no problem administering medication. Including injections I’m currently a stay at home mom and almost always home so your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time!! My 5 year old is great with dogs and will give your animals plenty of love and attention!!! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run! Your dog will be let out frequently and get plenty of exercise!! I try and take the dogs for a long walk at least once a day. Your dog will have free roam of the house, but we are more than happy to crate if you provide one. Our dogs eat in the am and pm, however we can accommodate your dogs feeding schedule.
About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am a Graduate student, but I manage to take six- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have over 6 years of experience caring for pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets company. My background in caregiving has taught me to be patient, attentive, and dependable, especially when caring for pets with unique needs or routines. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m available for pet care primarily in the mornings and around midday, generally between 9 AM and 12 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I’m respectful of your space and will follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your pets receive attentive, loving care and are safe and comfortable throughout each visit.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Damascus
As the wife of a veterinarian, I’m probably a little more particular than most when it comes to who I trust with our animals, and Michelle immediately put us at ease. She has a wonderful understanding of animal behavior and, just as importantly, knows how to properly approach and introduce herself to unfamiliar animals. Her background in animal control really gives her an advantage, and it was evident from the moment we met her. We have a grumpy, sometimes unpredictable dog and a skittish cat, so finding the right person isn't always easy. But after watching Michelle interact with both of them (she prefers a meet & greet prior to booking,) we had absolutely no hesitation leaving them in her care. Her communication was fantastic throughout our trip, with plenty of pictures and updates on the boys. It was so nice to be away and not have to worry about how things were going at home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michelle and would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat. Finding someone who genuinely understands animal behavior and can confidently handle different personalities is invaluable!
When we returned for vacation, I noticed that my dog was well-trained. It seems that I not only hired a pet sitter but also a pat trainer. My neighbor informed me of her exceptional skills with my dog. Now they like to have her as pat sitter as well. She was very responsive and on time every time
