Pet Sitting in Dickerson

“Samantha! We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs Harry Stanley and De Niro received! Our dog care taker went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy and well taken care of while we were away for our wedding. Samantha was incredibly punctual, reliable, and genuinely attentive to our boys’ needs. Knowing they were in such capable and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind on our special day and throughout our time away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — she truly made all the difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated dog care taker!”

“Jennifer did 3 drop in visits a day for my two dogs. She was wonderful with them! The dogs really liked her during our meet and greet and continued to look forward to her visits from the pictures she provided during the visits. I felt that the dogs were well cared for and was very pleased. Jennifer came by as expected each day. I would definitely use Jennifer again for her dependability and for her expert and loving care of my fur babies.”

“Absolutely the best Pet Sitter ever. I did not worry one second about my fur babies. She communicated everyday even though they didn’t always cooperate 🤦‍♀️. Definitely glad we found her and will be calling her anytime we travel. So awesome to be able to leave my babies with someone I know will take such exceptional care of them. Thank you again!”

“Everything went well with Alex and my three kitties, although we had an extremely shy cat that hid from her. Now that Alex has met her, she is a little less scared. If available, I will book Alex again. I am grateful that she was available during Christmas.,”

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.

“Christina is an awesome pet walker / sitter! She’s knowledgeable and makes sure she’s aware of any training that is an issue with your animal. We have a puppy that we needed walked in the middle of the day while we’re working. We needed a walker who was willing to get him some good exercise not just a leisurely walk. She’s also watched our puppy for an event we had a couple of hours offsite. She’s so good with our dog and we highly recommend her.”

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

About: I have always had a passion for caring for all types of animals. My pet care experience started when I was about 12 years old. I have cared for my two dogs since they were puppies. I am capable and familiar with walking, feeding, cleaning up after, and playing with both dogs and cats. I am comfortable caring for both large and small pets, as well as young and old ones. I am familiar with washing my dogs, as well as cleaning dirty paws and cleaning up accidents. I also have experience in cleaning out litter boxes and changing out food and water. I’m always looking for opportunities to spend quality time with all animals, especially dogs and cats. My passion for animals has always been evident throughout my life. I care for my dogs daily when I come home from college. I look after my dogs morning, afternoon, and night. I perform tasks such as feeding, walking, playing, and anything else necessary. I like to create a schedule of when I am needed throughout the day so my availability lines up with my clients’ availability. My schedule is open and flexible, so I can implement your pets routine into mine. I take the time to meet each pet and get to learn their routine before accepting any position to make sure they become comfortable with me. I make sure to keep my clients updated throughout my visit and make sure that everything is in order. If I have any questions I always reach out, and if there are any concerns I am quick to contact. I try my best to build trust and a good relationship with each pet so that they feel safe and taken care of. I enjoy taking extra time to play with my clients’ pets once they gain confidence in me, which can help in building connections with me and your pet.

“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 ;)”

“Judy is the best and I highly recommend her! Always takes pictures and is responsive! Have used her several times and will continue to do so ☺️”

About: Since childhood, I've embraced the role of caretaker for our family pets, a responsibility I continue to fulfill with joy and dedication to this day. Growing up surrounded by animals instilled in me a deep appreciation for their companionship and well-being. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing love and attention, I find immense fulfillment in tending to their needs. Being in the presence of animals brings me genuine happiness, and I cherish every moment spent with them Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is second nature to me. I allocate time each morning and evening for feeding, walking, and ensuring they receive the attention and care they need to thrive. Beyond the essentials, I make it a point to spend quality time bonding with my pets, whether it's relaxing together at home or exploring the outdoors. Pet care isn't just a task for me, it's a rewarding part of my lifestyle that brings me joy and fulfillment As a pet sitter, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pets in my care, whether in my own home or at the client's residence. In my home, I ensure that the space is pet-friendly, with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, walking, and potty breaks, tailored to each pet's individual needs. Regular exercise and enrichment activities are integrated into their daily routine to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their familiar surroundings and routines to minimize stress and ensure their comfort. I follow the owner's instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medication administration, and any other specific care requirements. I provide companionship and affection, spending quality time with the pets through play, cuddling, and interactive activities. Additionally, I keep the home tidy by cleaning up after the pets and adhering to any house rules set by the owner.

“Susan has been absolutely fantastic as a dog walker! She is reliable, punctual, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. She always provides updates after walks and goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy and well cared for.”

About: Hi! I’m Ingrid, a mom of 4 boys ages 3-12 and a dog owner to a boy Beagle named Otis. I’ve had dogs all my life and love being with them and caring for them! (I even trained Otis from a puppy!) We have a large house in the country on 2.5 acres of land. We LOVE having other dogs stay and visit! Otis and the children are very good with other dogs! Other than taking care of the house and kids, taking care of dogs is my only other job, so your pup will get plenty of needed attention and have lots of fun with us!!! We are on a 2.5 acre property, but no fence, so outside time will be on leash only- (we have long leashes for more freedom to roam). Inside is more flexible with free roam in the main area- very large sunroom, living room, and kitchen. We have a large area for dogs to sleep overnight comfortably either on a dog bed or crate, whichever is preferred.

“Dayan was so sweet, patient and attentive with my dog Brandy. I would definitely recommend her to others!!”

“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!”

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 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.

“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!”
