Cat Sitting in Dickerson

“Samantha was a treat. Our cats warmed up very quickly. She followed our rules of the house, even the temporary rules for neuter recovery. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures and videos.”

Charley F.

“Responded to my request on short notice and was wonderful with my pups!”

Marissa A.

“Sheila was wonderful! She left detailed notes that reassured me that my pups were doing well and took the time to bring my shy dog out of her shell. I will definitely request her services again next time!”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 13! I have had multiple dogs (all rescue) in my home that I have fed, bathed, walked, and administered medication. I have been working in dog shelters since 2021, so I am comfortable with all dogs from all backgrounds! I have a pitbull terrier mix, a semi-feral outdoor cat, fish, and two crested geckos! Pet care is something I do every single day, including: feeding, bathing, walking, medication administration, and habitat cleaning! I always meet an animal where they are. I don't want to impose on their personal space or do something to make them scared. I don't expect every animal to be super warm and cuddly, everyone has different needs! I can cater as fancy or as downplayed a routine as you need to make your fur-babies (or non-furry) feel safe!

About: My pup is an older King Charles clavier mix and the sweetest thing ever. She just had her 12th birthday and I have had her since she was 2! I also have experience with big dogs! My boyfriend has a German shepherd and a Rottweiler who I spend lots of time around. One of my roommates at school also has a cat who lives with us! I have experience watching both dogs and cats and just have a deep love for the both!! I am currently working part-time doing an internship for my school, which has given me lots of free time. I love spending time with my pup either just relaxing, going for walks, or playing. My pup is very well trained which makes it very easy for me to take her out as she doesn’t require a leash. However, I have experience with dogs who have a tendency to run if they get the chance 😂 So I am familiar with adjusting to different dogs needs!

“Thank you.”

“Dominique was amazing with my 2 cats during all her visits! She responded quickly to messages and went above and beyond to care for my pets. I definitely recommend Dominique to anyone!”

“Judy was AMAZING!! My dog has anxiety and can be a little nervous around new people. Judy was accommodating with my schedule so we could do a meet-and-greet to make sure both Juliet (my dog) and Judy were comfortable with each other. By the end of the meet-and-greet, Juliet was resting her head in Judy’s hand. I almost cried (this is HUGE)! Judy sent lots of pics and had great communication. I had no reservations about my dog (who is my baby) being in good hands! It was my first time using Rover, and Judy was very patient with all my questions. I will DEFINITELY be rebooking!! Thank you again so much!!”

“Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Courtney M.

“Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)”

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.

“Alexandra was great to work with. It was incredibly smooth to work with her and she took great care of my dogs. She even got some great pictures of them!”

Kristy B.

“Rene did an outstanding job taking care of my cat Max! She was always on time, fed him and gave him his medication, and lots of attention. Everything was neat and tidy when we returned as well. We will definitely be booking with Rene again in the future!”

Heather W.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Lauren! She was prompt, communicative, and even stopped by before our trip to meet us and the cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly and sent us daily updates with plenty of photos of the cats (and their food!), which we really appreciated while we were away. She also made sure to spend quality time playing with them. It’s clear how much she truly loves animals. We came home to two very happy cats! We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to any family and friends. Thank you, Lauren!”

Aubrey B.

“Jessica was prompt, responsive, and very engaged in my animals welfare! She was excellent- will book again!”

Rose M.

“Celina was excellent! There was a miscommunication on my part, but Celina handled it with so much understanding and she did a wonderful job with our very hyper Aussie. She sent us photos and updates at every check-in. I would highly recommend her for drop in visits.”

About: i’ve been taking care of my neighbors pets when they go on vacation since I was 12 years old, so I am no stranger to all types of dogs and all types of maintenance levels! I have one dog of my own who is just under two years and I’ve been fully involved in her training and have lots of experience with puppies! I currently work part-time and have so much free time so pet care fits perfectly in my weekly schedule and I’m extremely flexible! All three of my cats practically own my house, so I am no stranger to high maintenance animals! Feel free to give me the longest list of instructions with no fear!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats through pet sitting and my work as a veterinary assistant. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, walking, cleaning, and providing attentive care to pets of all ages and personalities. My veterinary experience helps me recognize and address signs of stress, illness, or injury so you’re ensured your pets are in safe, caring, and knowledgeable hands. Though I do work full time, I have plenty of off days during the week that I’d be more than happy to dedicate to further take care of other animals when at home, able to give my services on Thursday, Sundays, and some Saturdays I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my apartment and do my best to tailor my care to each pet’s personality to make them as comfortable as possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort, and health needs while following their routine to a tee so they can feel as comfortable as possible, whether that’s at my home or at yours. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. When I have the opportunity to care for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and like to keep owners updated with messages and cute photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owners are away.

“Rosie is absolutely amazing. Reliable, fun, thoughtful, caring. Completely and totally trustworthy and goes the extra mile. My dog loves her and so do we!”

Ingrid D.

“Tori was amazing, going over and above what we expected. She showed up daily not just to feed and provide the basic care, but staying to keep company with our dog, Jackson. I can’t say enough good things about Tori. We’ll definitely call on her again.”
