House Sitting in Dickerson

About: Thanks for checking me out!! Your pets will be loved and well taken care of. I have worked with animals my whole life, from fish and dogs to chickens and horses. I have worked as a vet tech in the past and am happy to give any prescribed oral medications, bandage checks, cones, basic care, food restrictions or special diets. I understand the busy lives of pets and their parents so I work hard to cooperate with changing schedules and special accommodations. Communication is the key to success. I respect your babies and all your wishes when it comes to caring for your them. While your pets stay at My home there is fun and lots of play time. Everyone in the house is excited and eager to be involved with animal care and will be very gentle your fur babies . We also take walks to the park and around the neighborhood. Ask me anything! Full time pet care. At the moment I am working from home on a self based schedule. This means that I can provide my full attention to pets and their needs. In your home... your rules apply. In my home.. your rules apply. I work closely with all pet parents on how to best care for each and every pet. Every single pet is different in my opinion. I try to gather as much information as I can to understand the needs and wants of each fur baby and their owners. Please feel free to ask detailed questions. I also ask that you provide detailed rules and exemptions.

About: I had the pleasure of taking care of a little Shihtzu named Giselle for nearly 7 years. If you know Shihtzu’s you know how particular they are, but every moment was so rewarding! I now have a little gray tabby named Chicho who loves cuddles maybe more than food itself! I have experience with both dogs and cats which has given me the opportunity to learn the different kinds of care both of them need. I’m new to this app and so I’m happy to do a meet and greet before setting anything up to make sure everybody is comfortable :) Se habla espańol 🇵🇪 I work full time as an oral surgeons surgical dental assistant. After 4PM on weekdays and all day weekends I’m available to take care of your little ones! My Chicho roams freely in his home and outside as well (with some supervision). He gets along with other animals after some time to get to know each other but overall he’s friendly.

“Heidi was great and reliable while watching Zoe and Lily. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures. I came home to happy dogs! I would have no problem using her services again.”

“Sara was amazing. She took exceptional care of our Doberman while we were out of town for an extended long weekend. She stayed at our home and when we returned, our home was clean,dishes were done, laundry was done. It was perfect. She also “de-land mined” our backyard. She went way past above and beyond. Most importantly Doberman have very high energy and exercise needs and are “Velcro” dogs. Upon our return, it was obvious our dobie received plenty of exercise and TLC from Sara. If you need a dog sitter or dog walker you would be wise to book her before she becomes so popular and unavailable on the days you may need her. I will definitely be booking with her again when the need arises.”

“Addie is a true professional. Punctual, followed all my directions, and most importantly cared for and loved on my two cats and Pit Bull. She's great who I will use again.”

“I have to thank Collin for his patience and willingness to watch my furry duo. He managed to somehow feed my poor dogs using sorcery and sheer willpower to scrounge whatever I had left after my dog’s food was stolen from my doorstep. My dogs also adore and trust him so he gets 100/10. Thank you so much, Collin!”

“Brooke did a fantastic job taking care of my boys. She sent me pictures and updates. She was fantastic. Definitely will use her again. She’s the best.”

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. I work two three hour shifts a day so I can spend lots of time with your pup to ensure all their needs are met and they are happy and safe. 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 great with our two pugs! One of them is very people shy, and she had him snuggling with her in no time! She kept us informed as to how our fur babies were doing throughout the weekend. Will definitely use her again!”

Roya P.

“Felicia was fantastic at wrangling my beloved, but extremely difficult, elderly cat with chronic kidney disease! She was able to give my cat transdermal meds and daily subcutaneous fluids, despite my cat hating everyone but me and making an absolute scene about it every time. Felicia's care for my cat and my home made it so I could actually enjoy vacation without checking the pet cam every five minutes. I'm so grateful for her help!”

Sarah P.

“I just moved to MD...literally the week before I needed a sitter for my 4 dogs and it was more than a little nerve wracking to take the leap of faith given the circumstances. Alon is wonderful! He is definitely a fur baby person and was immediately comfortable with my 2 Great Danes and gave my 2 smaller dogs space to get used to him. He communicated with me several times each day, sent pictures and videos and handled a very unexpected situation beautifully! I cannot recommend Alon enough and will, without question, be using him to take care of all my babies again!!”

Carey B.

“Highly recommend! Great experience for my 2 pups' stay cation at Jennifer's home. My boys had fun playing with Sammy and they received so much TLC from Jennifer and her family! She goes above and beyond to make sure our boys feel loved and well taken care of while I was away.”

Lori S.

“We used Leonarda for house sitting with our pets while we were out of town. She did a fantastic job communicating with us and we knew our furry crew were in loving hands. She left our home in pristine condition. We will definitely use again and I highly recommend her!”

Candace W.

“Jessica was awesome! Our dogs loved her and she really stepped in during a time of panic for us when we lost our original dog sitter 2 days before vacation. 5-star rating all around and we will definitely book with her again!”

About: I've done pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for most of my life. This includes care of dogs to include feeding, play, walking, and administering meds if applicable. I currently have a six year old English Bulldog who is a stubborn sweetheart and I regularly pet sit for a family member's pitbull mix. I will be available on marked days, most regularly weekends as well as selected weekday options as I have a flexible/remote work set-up. I take care of pets of my own (as well as children) so I can confidently fill in to care for your pet. I have reliable transportation and defined radius on my profile so I can arrange for several walks and in home check-ins and care throughout the day and evening. When/if I do board or care for a client's pet in my home, there is a fenced in backyard and one other dog in the home.

“We had an amazing experience with Adrienne! She stayed with Mickey and kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Mickey was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and attention to detail. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Adrienne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Kiara was amazing! She was available on short notice and took great care of our boys while we were away. Thank you Kiara!”

“Victoria was great! She stayed at my house with my cat for a week while I was out of town with family. Super sweet and my cat loved her. Very communicative: I got daily photos and updates to give me peace of mind while away.”

About: I have been responsibly caring for pets since I was 14 years old, which has given me many years of hands-on experience with animals. I currently care for four dogs, including a German Shepherd and mixed breeds, as well as two cats of different breeds. This has helped me develop a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I have experience caring for puppies, adult pets, and senior animals, and I am attentive to how their needs change with age. I am very patient, loving, and reliable, and I always strive to provide a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. I follow routines carefully, respect schedules, and adapt easily to each pet’s unique personality to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I usually take dogs out for walks in the mornings or afternoons, depending on the day and their needs. I prepare their meals daily, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I also provide healthy snacks in the afternoon. I make time for play, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I personally handle bathing and grooming, including brushing, to ensure pets are clean, comfortable, and well cared for. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I make sure pets are supervised at all times and kept in a clean, calm, and secure environment. I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, and any special care needs provided by the owner. I am very attentive to doors, gates, and walk safety to prevent accidents. I also take time to build trust with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for while they are with me.

“Heli was AMAZING when she stayed in our home to watch our severely speration anxiety ridden cockapoo, Ruby. I felt relieved and relaxed knowing Heli was watching Ruby while my family and I were away for a week. Although we had not previously met, I was immediately put at ease with the way she interacted with both Ruby and me. Heli also sent me a ton of pictures while we were away showing all the fun activities they were doing. She also kept to Ruby's schedule. As a very picky mama, I would 100% use and reccomend Heli in the future.”
