House Sitting Drayden

“I contacted India on relatively short notice for pet sitting. She was available to come meet us and our dog before our trip. India did a wonderful job taking care of our older German Shepherd who is dealing with some skin conditions. She was very caring and followed all of the instructions that I left for medicine and wound care. We appreciate the care that she gave our girl and will definitely book with India again to take care of our dog. We also have a bearded dragon and fish that she took care of as well. Highly recommend India for pet sitting.”

“Hannah was wonderful! She is incredibly caring and truly loves the animals she cares for. She was professional, reliable, and followed our pets' schedule exactly as we discussed, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pets were in great hands, and we really appreciated the updates and the care she provided. We will absolutely book with Hannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate in-home pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pets!”

“Juliana was a joy to work with and took thoughtful care of my home and dog! She was knowledgeable, kind, communicative, and patient with Hugo getting used to her. Upon my return, she had followed instructions thoroughly and carefully, and Hugo was well cared for and happy. And so am I! Thank you, Juliana!”

About: My time working a the trading and boarding kennel had allowed me to handle sometimes over a 100 dogs in a day, each one with different personalities and needs. Each time I would take them on their potty breaks I would make sure to lavish them in attention and play chase if they felt inclined. I also have monitored up to 10+ dogs together in group play, being very careful to watch behavior and know when a dog has had too much or needs a better playmate. I am also an experienced feeder that can create highly individualized meals and medicate dogs through pilling or hiding meds in food/treats. This also includes non-oral meds like ear and eyes drops as well as topicals. Before the kennel, I walked many neighborhood dogs, taking them for long 30+minute walks and ensuring they were fed and had water. I would stay and give them attention after their walks to keep them company if I was not spending the night. I have experience in using E-collar and commands as well. I mostly used commands for feeding purposes but I can also use them to stop bad behavior. Injuries can also occur not matter how careful one is, be it a broken nail, ear inflections, or cuts and scrapes. I have experienced this many times at the kennel and am apt at tending to said injuries should they occur. I’m currently between jobs and while applying to new ones I have all the time in the world to see your babies! No matter the time, my attention is theirs. I work hard to slowly build trust with nervous dogs and give them all play time, pets, and treats (owner approved of course). If there are any special needs, like age or aggression, I take extra care to ensure everyone and dog is safe and secure around me.

“Shemoy was absolutely awesome with my boy. She visited him before the day and developed a good connection and interacted with him like she had known him forever. She was incredibly loving with him and I was more comfortable that I thought I would be for our first time away!”

“Linda was awesome. Sadie was relaxed and happy while in her care. It was nice to go on vacation and know that Sadie was being well cared for. I would recommend Linda to anyone who wants their pet to stay home while they are gone. I will definitely request Linda again if we go away.”

“Samuel did a fantastic job watching our dog who is both quite reactive and recovering from ACL surgery. We already rebooked him for next month and highly recommend him for anyone needing peace of mind while they’re away from their fur baby.”

“Kathleen is amazing! She checked in regularly with pictures of my relaxed and content baby. She was caring and attentive. She even picked up on his silent cues for when he wanted a snack or treat. When we came home, it was as if we'd only been away for 10 minutes. There is no one I'd trust more.”

Scottie P.

“Keira was excellent with our dogs - would absolutely recommend her to anyone (especially if you're on vacation at Deep Creek Lake). She went right to them and they were very comfortable with her. Thank you Keira!”

About: I grew up with dogs and would help care for them, from walking, to feeding and bathing. I've also helped friends with theirs. I've cared for dogs as small as pugs and dachshunds to as big as collies and pitbulls. I work part time and have a very flexible employer! I'm willing to stop by anytime from 8am to 2am and am willing to house-sit as well. I do not offer boarding at my own home but if you asked anyone who knows me theyd tell you that I'm very cleanly, organized and respectful. I will always do my best to adhear to any instructions you leave for your baby and I do have experience kennaling big dogs.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies I also grew up taking care of English bulldogs and understand the importance of consistency with potty training, basic commands, and positive reinforcement. I’m also attentive and gentle with senior pets, making sure they receive extra patience, medication support if needed, and a calm environment. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away My schedule is pretty open. I am always flexible depending on what I have scheduled. I do work but only part time. I make time for the pets I watch. I love to take my dog on walks my animals are house dogs they spend time with me and enjoying life not in a cage though they do have one and love to just lay in there but there environment is safe and welcoming.

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.

“Absolutely wonderful sitter!! April stayed in our home for a couple weeks with our two Shih Tzus. She sent daily updates with photos, handled their face and eye grooming (not easy for their breed!), was enthusiastic and communicative, and left our home clean and tidy. We really couldn’t have asked for more. We took a chance as she didn’t have reviews but I’m so glad we did. She did a fantastic job and I would definitely book her again. Thanks, April!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for friends, family and coworkers for over 20 years and I’m comfortable with any and all animals. I currently work at a Vet office where animals are my specialty and I’m trusted with others animals. I know of medical terms and how to give basic care until help arrives (if necessary). I pet sit for older people that just need a little bit of extra help, and I’m happy to do it! I love seeing smiles on peoples faces knowing their pups, cats, bunnies, etc are being taken good care of. I have open availability! Open schedule for whenever I’m needed. I have a side job, but I do it when I want to and don’t have a set schedule with that job. I’m self employed basically. I make sure they have water and food whenever they’re scheduled which is usually 8am for breakfast and 4pm for dinner. I don’t let my cats out ever, I don’t really like having cats outdoor like that unless that’s how they were raised. I make sure their litter is clean and taken care of at least twice a day and make sure the dogs are getting walks, pets and snacks. Just making sure the animals are comfortable really is my goal.

“Elizabeth was attentive to Daisy's needs per the 'care & feeding' instructions we provided. Just as importantly, she treated Daisy as if her own, which was apparent by Daisy snoozling on Betsy's luggage as she prepared to leave.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and truly love being around pets of every size and personality. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with all breeds from small dogs and seniors to high-energy pups and big lovable goofballs. I live with dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important routine, comfort, and trust are. I give every pet the same love, attention, and care I give my own. Caring for pets is naturally built into my day because I already have animals of my own. I plan my mornings, afternoons, and evenings around walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m very flexible, so I can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine and needs Safety and trust come first. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding schedules, walk routes, crate rules, and any house preferences. I always keep doors locked, double-check leashes and harnesses, and never rush a pet. I give each animal a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and understood.

“Christina was very attentive with Mr. Moo and her pictures helped us get through the long weekend without our chunky monkey. She left our house and our cat in excellent condition and he wasnr even mad at us when we got back, which is always a giod sign that he was well taken care of! We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again.”

About: I used to have a dog as I grew up and took care of it for many years and have recently helped take care of my landlord's dog as well. I live in a subdivision so I am more than aware of the practice of curbing the dog. I am very special with pets and love taking care of them. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and all the care it needs and not just the bare basics of food water and walks. I also have taken care of a cat too so I am more than willing to take care of cats as well, but I strongly prefer to take care of dogs only. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes.
