Dog Sitting in Delmar

“Heather was amazing in looking after our shy cat Shiva! Besides the frequent photos and daily updates, she went above and beyond in doing extra items while we were away for over a week -- truly appreciated! This is the first time using Rover for drop-in visits and will definitely be using her services again for future trips, based on her availability ❤️”

About: I’ve had dogs and have been taking care of family and friends dogs and cats for over 10 years. My family has had healthy dogs and dogs that have had medical issues over the years, and so I’m knowledgeable in looking after a dog who has undergone surgery, or who requires special care due to paralyzation. I love all animals and friends have relied on me to house sit their dogs while they go away on trips or vacations for multiple days at a time, sometimes with more than one dog at a time, or additional pets as well, so I’m very experienced in addressing each animals needs, while also sending “daily nanny cam” updates to family and friends so they can see their pets during the day and know that they’re happy and doing well. I work full time, but work from home two out of the five days, so I would be able to take your dog on multiple walks during the day, come over and stay with them for a few hours to play, or even house sit them for the day or several days if you’re going away for a trip. If they require special medication I just ask that you leave me their vitamin/mediation schedule and will administer based on your instructions. My family dog loves to cuddle with me in my lap and when she’s not allowed on the furniture, I’ll often sit on the floor with her so that she can snuggle with me. On the days that I work from home, I would be happy to stay at your home with your pets making sure their needs are met. I love my family pets and will give your pets the same love and affection that I give mine. My animals are allowed to snuggle with me on the couch or on the bed (unless you don’t want them on the furniture/ there are behavioral issues I need to be aware of, I would have them do the same thing). I walk my family dog in the afternoons and play with her throughout the day with dog toys and fetch, but will monitor if it looks like the toy is coming apart and could pose a risk to them. I would follow all instructions left when it comes to house sitting/walks/or day sitting, and would ask for you to share any behavioral issues or triggers with me in advance so I care be aware of them prior to taking your pets out on walks or just in day to day interactions. This allows me to be aware for your pets safety and the safety of any other animals we could come around. If a dog doesn’t seem friendly while we’re on a walk, I would remove your dog from that situation to try and keep them as safe as possible. I will also always reach out to contact you if there are any issues or questions I have about daily activities, medications, etc. When I dog sit at someone’s home, I recognize that I am really there just to look after their pet, so I don’t leave the house for extended periods of time and will actually put on animal shows for the pets to watch, including planet earth, or Disney pet movies. I also like to send updates that I called “nanny cams”, which are photos or videos of your pet playing or just hanging about so that you can have peace of mind that they’re happy and you can also see them while you’re away and receive updates. I will always communicate with you very openly to ensure you have peace of mind while I’m taking care of your pet.

About: My Schedule: I usually work Monday-Friday roughly 7-3 pm but I also work from home some days so feel free to reach out & I can try to accommodate! :) My Passion: I’ve had animals my entire life, oftentimes being the sole caregiver for 2 dogs and more recently learning how to aid my family’s senior dog who is disabled. I also aided a local dog business, ensuring they were taken care of and treated as my own while maintaining strong relationships and gaining their trust. I have a strong passion for all animals and cant wait to meet yours! My Interest: I love music, playing piano & singing especially, so expect your dog to be serenaded during our time together. I’m also an avid reader, a grad student, and a full-time non-profit professional. I love art as well so feel free to share your favorite painting. I work full time, ensuring our eastern shore neighbors are fed and taken care of, but love my flexible schedule to ensure everyone animal is well taken care of. I’m very respectful with client’s space and aim to ensure it is well maintained as well as providing the best possible care and experience for the animal.

“I feel so much better knowing Katherine is checking on my dogs when I'm at work. She's a real life saver.”

“Hilary was on time and was very good with Munchkin. She was able to administer her medications, including her insulin. I look forward to using Hilary again.”

“Lucia is fantastic. We are first time reptile owners and it was great to know that our sitter has a lot of experience taking care of tortoises. We were able to leave the country knowing Ged was in capable and caring hands. She is communicative and understanding of our needs. We will definitely be rebooking with Lucia in the future!”

“Jackie has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She replies instantly and keeps me updated. I am new to pet ownership and having someone look after them while I have to travel for work. She has been amazing every step of the way.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home for 14 years and cats my whole life. I’ve had dogs of small and large sizes and can handle a dog of any personality I am working part time right now but looking to care for cats and dogs on the side through walks or drop ins when available I do not offer in home service at this time. I can provide walks and drop ins only! sorry if this is inconvenient, thank you.

“10/10! Very considerate and attentive to our hyper Husky, Bella! George brought us peace of mind while we were away for a family wedding. He went the extra mile and was very responsive. Even though we hate leaving our fur baby, we know she’s in good hands with George!! Thanks again!”

About: I’ve been dogsitting for family friends for the past 4 years. I am willing to come stay at your house and keep your animals in the comfort of their own home while you enjoy your vacation or time away. I grew up with both a Rottweiler and a Pitbull and as an adult, my husband and I own are Bernedoodle who is the light of our lives. I currently work at the hospital full time as an RN. I am able to be up early with your pets and handle feedings and letting them out to the bathroom along with some active time before work and after I get off I can spend the rest of the evening at the house making sure your pets are given attention and well taken care of. I have off most weekends! I will care for your pets in your home as best as I can to keep your personal and normal routine. I am always willing to follow any instructions given to keep your pets comfortable while you’re away.

“This was my first time using Rover. Julie did an amazing job! She was so thorough with her questions about each dog, and their schedule. She did an amazing job checking in and keeping me updated on how the dogs were doing! She was beyond reliable and on time and went above and beyond to work with my schedule and the dogs needs. I will definitely be using her again and again! She is so wonderful with my two dogs, they have a new friend for sure! I couldn’t have been more relaxed knowing my dogs were being cared for so well while I was gone!”

About: ❗️❗️🙂 CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS🙂❗️❗️ I've been working for Rover since 2017, and I can truly say that I adore this job! I mainly specialize in working with dogs and cats, however I am willing to work with different kinds of animals if needed. I'm also a Washington DC native, who has recently moved to Salisbury, Maryland 💛🖤❤️🤍 ⚠️❗️❗️UPDATE AS OF APRIL 2024❗️❗️⚠️: If you are new client and need someone for a extended stay Home Sitting, the longest I will be willing to stay is 3 to 5 days. Once you are a repeat client, I am then more comfortable staying for longer periods of time if needed. Pets will stay on routine by following whatever schedule the owner has set up. If it means getting up early to take a walk, that's what will happen. If I means getting out later in the afternoon for a walk, tha will be fine too. Pet care fits into my routine by me having a very opened schedule. I just moved to Easton, MD, so right now I'm looking to build a new client base here. While watching your pets in your home, I will always make sure I keep a watchful eye over them. I typically like to stay in an area that is open enough where I can see everything, but closed enough where the animal won't be out of site.

About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood pets for over eight years. I have watched dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. I have also watched dogs with high medical needs such as epilepsy and am comfortable giving medications. I have experience with everything from drop-in visits to multiple-month stays! In addition to dogs, I am also comfortable taking care of cats, goats, and chickens and have years of experience with them as well! I am currently in physical therapy school, so my weekly schedule varies. However, I am free in the late afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. My schedule can be relatively flexible around classes, as I am not currently working! I love spending time playing with dogs. If your dog is full of energy, I am more than willing to take them for walks and play with them to get some energy out! If your dog is more laid back, I love a good snuggle! I am comfortable crating dogs, as well as having them roam freely!

“Kelly was amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter in the area. She was professional, reliable and really sweet with our older dog Scooter. We had complete peace of mind during our vacation knowing that Scooter was in good hands. We're already planning on using her during our next trip!”

“Jennifer does a great job!! Watched after my animals while i was away for 3 days. She came 3x a day, and took care of the fur family. Not only did she walk, feed, and play with them while we were away, but she made sure the place was kept clean and tidy. When there was an accident from my dog Bailey getting excited and peeing, Jennifer took care of it immediately. Would highly reccomend”

About: I absolutely LOVE dogs! I’m the type of girl to ask you what your dogs name is and if I can pet them! 🥰 Since I was born, I’ve been surrounded by dogs. We always had several family dogs, all of my friends had dogs, my neighbors had dogs, etc. I grew up taking care of everyone’s dogs - neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I will be using Rover as a side job. I will work on certain days each week and it will be scheduled around my full time job. I understand that to a lot of people, animals are their best friend, their baby, their child… because of this, I will work 100% with you to accommodate your needs to make you comfortable!

“Taylor was great with our pups and we were grateful that she was able to accommodate our last minute needs !!”
