House Sitting Downsville

“Katherine has housesit several times for our 3 dogs (one a puppy)! She is always attentive to their individual needs and able to manage the chaos of 3 in her stride. We love that she sends daily photos. The house is taken well care of too. She has fun with the pups and tends to the needs of our house with ease. These are just some of the reasons we are a “frequent flyer” with Katherine.”

“This was the first time we left our puppy Fiona. We left her with Evangeline and couldn’t be more pleased. Fiona loves her. Our puppy and home were very well taken care of. We would definitely use Evangeline again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life and have over the last 8 years been a pet parent myself! I currently have 6 cats and 1 sweet, cat-loving dog which has made me very familiar with different pet personalities, routines, and individual needs. My dog has also struggled with separation anxiety since he was first adopted and I worked patiently with him to help him feel more comfortable and secure. This assured me even more the importance of patience, consistency, understanding, and creating a calm, loving environment for animals who may need a little extra reassurance. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, playful, or just loves to cuddle, I’ll treat them with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and my goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I currently am a stay at home mama, homeschooling my young kiddo so I have plenty of flexibility during the week and weekends to hang out and love on your pets. I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every pet feels right at home! In my home, there is a designated cat room that only my kitties and humans can access, giving my cats a peaceful space to relax and have their own privacy when needed. There are also plenty of cozy beds, blankets, and comfy spots for naps, cuddles, and snuggles! My home has a spacious, open-floor basement and main level, providing lots of room for indoor playtime, toys, and fun! I also live near several parks and in a walkable neighborhood where I enjoy taking my furry friends on walks, exploring, and getting fresh air! When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention.

“This is the first time we've used Rover for house/pet sitting. Our first choice was Lana. Lana came to meet us and our pets and we felt very comfortable w/ her from the moment we met. She cared about our pets and was interested in their individual needs, likes, and dislikes. We were very comfortable going way w/ Lana here to take care of our fur babies. She kept in touch, sent pictures, and ask questions when needed. She also cleaned up after herself and washed the bedding, towels, and dog blankets before she left. We certainly didn't expect this, but it was GREATLY appreciated! You couldn't tell she was ever here as things were just as we left them. We will DEFINITELY use Lana again if she is available. Thank you so much Lana for letting us have a worry free vacation.”

“Best house sitter that there ever was!!! She washed and folded the laundry that she used (we didn’t ask her to), she helped out with Buddy, our Elf on the Shelf, and was great with communication.”

“Adriene sent me pictures and videos throughout the stay. Communication was frequent and clear and my Sophie was doing great when I went back home. She took good care of the house as well. Overall great experience!”

Dahiana R.

“Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!”

About: I was born and raised on a family farm. From the time I was born I have been riding in tractors and taking care of all sorts of animals. Growing up we always had dogs and cats in our home. I have always loved rescuing strays and rehabilitating injured animals of all shapes and sizes. I now have three fur babies of my very own and they are my life! If you entrust your pet with me I will not take it lightly as it is a deep honor and privilege. I love spoiling animals and giving them all the love. If I ever won the lottery I would adopt all of the oldest animals at the shelter and take them to my pet sanctuary. Please consider booking me so that I can continue to stay at home with my human baby as much as possible! 🐾 I am very part time right now since I stay home with my little one. I pick up evening shifts here and there but I am fairly free in the evenings once my husband gets home from work. Let me know what you need and we can work out a routine! I typically work with children and for that reason I understand the importance of trust, flexibility, and kindness. I will always uphold your privacy and I promise to do my best in every situation. I like to call myself an “over communicator” so I will always share details on your pet and I’m pretty good at taking pictures of fur babies too!

About: Hi there! My name is Anissa (Nis), I am a reliable, patient, loving, safety-first dog walker and animal sitter based in Frederick, MD and Martinsburg, WV. Whether your dog needs a brisk midday walk, a trip around the park, or your animals require an attentive drop-in visit, I’m here to help burn off that extra energy and provide peace of mind for you while I care for your best friend(s), as well as your home! As a current Dachshund mom of 2 anxious angels with very specific needs, a cat mom, and mom of many other babies that I loved before them, I am comfortable with all sizes/breeds, anxiety levels, specific/complex needs, and prioritize positive reinforcement, calm handling, and showing the same kindness that I would provide for my own animals. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies/ferrets/bunnies/other small furry friends to senior dogs needing slow strolls, patience, and joint care. When I care for your babies, you will receive a detailed report, and photos during/after every single outing, as well as anything else that would make you feel more comfortable while your children are in my care. If you are looking for someone to love your family members like their own and ease any completely understandable anxiety you may have when trusting someone with a piece of your heart, please send me a message to chat or schedule a meet-and-greet! I currently work in Frederick from 8-4 M-F with flexibility to step away and return as needed during the work day. I have full availability on the weekends as I do not have any current commitments. I am flexible throughout the Frederick, MD area at any time, as well as house-sitting, and visits before/after 8am-4pm in the following locations: Martinsburg, WV Hagerstown, MD Shepherstown, WV Williamsport, MD as I have a unique situation and am able to stay/commute from any of those locations. When caring for your animals in your home, I strive to keep their normal routine, ensure safety, and maintain the household according to specific owner instructions in hopes to provide the same peace of mind that I require when leaving my own babies under the care of someone else.

About: I have had family dogs since I can remember and have been caring for them since around 9 years old. I'm currently studying to become a veterinary technician with a degree in animal science! I also am a former dog bather and groomer in training as well as a former kennel employee. A dogs love is unconditional and I feel that means they deserve everything and more! I am available 24 hours a day and would love to fill all 7 days of the week with fuzzy, slobbery friends! I do have occasional doctors appointments or visits with family and whatnot, but those should be reflected in my calendar! I will be accompanied by lots of love and lots of patience. I will feed and give medication as needed. If any housekeeping is needed I am happy to help, and I will walk, brush and let them outside as you ask, maybe even a nail trim if needed!

“This was our first time using this service and I would definitely use it again. Belinda did an amazing job in taking care of our little diva while we were out of town. She kept us updated & informed everyday and sent us lots of pictures!! I think Snowie really enjoyed the outings and adventures that she took her on!! Thank you so much Belinda!!!”

“McKayla did wonderful with my chows! She was attentive with all 3 and careful to keep the two females apart since they do not get along. She kept them on their feeding schedule and on their potty schedule and won Simba over immediately! I will definitely reach out to McKayla in the future when I need a sitter! Highly recommended!”
