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.

“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.”

“Alyssa is truly the Best! Mia, my English Bulldog, has the attitude of a teenage girl, and isnt a morning pupper, Im positive some days she just doesnt want to move from her fluffy bed! Alyssa is amazing with her!”

“Antoinette provided drop in visit for our elderly (13 yrs) dog and was really great! She was a great communicator (kept us up to date and shared pics) and we got back to a happy and content dog. We hope we can have her sit for us again in the future!”

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’ve cared for my own fur babies for the past 15 years—from playful puppy days to their sweet golden years—and I’ve loved every stage. Now that I’m recently retired, I spend lots of time with my two pups, Piney and Blossom, but I still have plenty of love, energy, and attention to share. I enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying active, and I’d be thrilled to share that with your four‑legged family member. I have hands-on experience with puppy training as well as providing extra support and gentle care for senior dogs. All of our dogs joined our family as puppies, and several required daily medication. Our oldest, Pogo, had heart issues as a pup, and I cared for her throughout her life—managing her medication and making sure she had every comfort she needed as she aged. I truly believe animals give unconditional love and are the best mood boosters at the end of a long day. I’d be honored to share that same love and care with your furry family member. I’m retired, up early every day, and stay active by walking and playing with my two dogs. I’m looking to share that same energy, attention, and love with additional pups who would enjoy extra companionship and outdoor time. My yard is fully fenced, and I always clean up right away after potty breaks to keep the space safe and tidy. At home, I keep fresh water available on both floors so my pups can stay hydrated wherever they choose to relax. For senior dogs or those who need a little extra help, I have a ramp and dog steps so they can comfortably get onto the couch or bed and feel right at home. I will provide the same services and dedication to your home and dog(s)

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.

“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.”

About: I have had experience with my own dog, as he was apart of the family for 12 years. I love being around dogs, and I will make sure they are well taken care of! I am currently home from college during the summer and working part time. I will be available for long-term and short term sitting on the weekends, and possibly sitting during the week as that is when I am working part time. I do not offer care in my own home, but I will be willing to work out something if need be of if it’s the best option!

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 was awesome with my puppy Tyson. She did drop in visits on two consecutive days while I was at work to feed Tyson and let him potty. On one of the days it was snowing but she kept her commitment and was here for Tyson. I can tell that Rosie really loves animals and that she does this because she enjoys being around animals, specifically dogs. I would highly recommend Rosie to anyone who is seeking pet care services.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Having pets myself, my oldest dog being 11, I have experience in taking care of senior dogs but I also have a 3 y/o and have raised puppies myself so I am aware of everything that requires a young pup to a senior. I’m working part-time because of college so I would love to enjoy some more time with dogs!!! I am home almost everyday and don’t usually go out so I love being at home with my doggy’s! I have two friendly dogs, 1 a senior pup so he isn’t much involved and another 3 year old who loves meeting new friends and he needs friends to play with!! I also have a small fenced backyard which my dogs use to always go outside

About: Having two dogs of my own, and being trusted to walk, sit, and play with dogs from family and friends, I want to bring my love for animals to anyone who needs someone to look after them! I have worked with senior dogs that have medical needs and puppies that are still teething so all dogs will get what they need! I have an open schedule as I am a college student on summer break and can easily accommodate most schedules! I am available both on a routine and drop-in basis! I am very good at following detailed instructions and making sure that you get the exact care that you want. I am also comfortable handling dogs of all sizes so pulling/jumping is no issue!

“Minara is so great!! She looked after my cats while I visited family for Christmas. Wonderful communicator and very easygoing. Everything went very smoothly and I can tell my cats liked her. :) Everything was left very clean and she did every single little thing i asked!! Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up I was always dog sitting while my friends were babysitting. My neighbors keep requesting I come back to them because of my flexibility and commitment! I can get along with any type of dog due to my understanding of dog psychology and my addiction to dog training shows. I hope to one day gain experience in becoming a dog trainer so I can help families have a more balanced well rounded companion. I am always eager to help out on short notice. I’m also flexible and willing to do anything you ask me to do. I take pet and home safety extremely seriously, I strive to be someone you can trust in your home and with your dog. I can’t wait to meet new doggies and dog owners! I’m currently volunteering part time at the Holy Cross Hospital but I have plenty of extra free time to hang out with your doggies! I understand how important it is to feel comfortable having someone in your home while you’re away. I strive to ensure everything stays clean, safe, and secure for your family. I am willing to do additional house service such as overnight stays if your dog gets anxious at night, plant maintenance, or take care of any other critters you have around!

“Meg is fabulous! She spent great quality time with our social kitty. She was easy to work with and communicated with pictures at each stop in. Definitely recommend her for your family.”

About: My name is Hoslan and I’ve been dog sitting/walking for almost 2 years. I have 4 of my own dogs and love them like they my own kids, when it comes to meet dogs they just love me, they’ll bark at first because they don’t know me but after showing them I’m friendly and give them love I’ll be your best dog sitter and everytime they see me theyll be excited! I work from home, and I just be on my computer in the mornings, but after I’m done I have so much time to walk dogs, play with them, take them out to potty or anything! I have a fenced in yard, I live close by a park, and I have 4 friendly pups that will play with your pup, here in my household we all love dogs so they’ll get treated like they one of ours
