Dog Sitting Dunkirk

About: As a dedicated animal lover with a family legacy of operating three successful boarding and grooming kennels in Maryland, I am passionate about providing exceptional animal care. With a decade of experience working at Countryside Kennels in Owings, MD, and Countrysides Pet Resort in Hughesville, MD, I developed a robust foundation in animal care. I then pursued a veterinary career, working for three years at Animal Eye Care. After relocating, I worked at Branches vet in Tifton, GA, and Southside Vet in Moultrie, GA. In 2021, I moved to Sumter, SC, and worked at Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in Lugoff, SC for three years. In addition to my veterinary experience, I operate a side business, At Your Service, offering house cleaning and pet sitting services since 2007. With my expertise in grooming and possession of necessary equipment, I am confident in providing exceptional care for your pets. My eleven-year-old child also shares my passion for animal care! Please consider my services for your pet care needs. Working remotely has given me the opportunity to prioritize Rover as my main source of income, allowing me to be more readily available to assist with pet care needs. I am committed to ensuring your pet's comfort and will take all necessary steps to achieve this goal. I am confident in my ability to assess your pet's behavior and provide a comfortable experience, allowing you to be at ease.

“As usual, Vanessa took amazing care of Martha! I received plenty of updates and pictures and had such confidence that Martha was being taken care of.”

About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years…or really, my whole life! From dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even fish, I’ve shared my life with animals of all kinds. I currently live with four cats who have taught me even more about patience, play, and intuitive communication. I’ve also helped friends with pet care, walked dogs of all sizes, and provided loving attention to pets while their humans were away. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I feel deeply connected to them. I believe in meeting each animal where they are, tuning into their energy, and ensuring they feel safe, seen, and nurtured. Whether it’s a playful walk, cozy check-in visit, or overnight care, I’m committed to showing up with love, attentiveness, and a calm, grounded presence. Your pet will be treated like one of my own! Pet care fits beautifully into my current schedule. I’m seeking flexible work that keeps me close to home so I can care for my four cats and continue pursuing my passion for baking. My days are open and adaptable, and I love spending time with animals. I’m currently available most days and times, and I genuinely enjoy being outside for walks or tending to pets’ unique needs. This work is a natural extension of my lifestyle. I treat all pets like family, tuning into their needs with care and calm energy. Whether in my home or yours, I create a peaceful, loving environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, maintain clean spaces, and follow feeding or medication routines exactly. My four cats are well-loved and cared for, and I bring that same intention and presence to every animal I care for.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. Started with my grandmother’s dog and a long term stay with other relatives’ pets. Now that I have my dog the past six I’ve learned a lot more about boarding and caring for dogs. My dog is a hound and enjoys long walks in our neighborhood, visiting the dog park and playing with his squeaky tennis ball. These are the activities that we do daily and we’d welcome your pet on our outings. I currently work from home twice a week and can accommodate during these times. I also have flexibility in the weekends to board and walk dogs. I have a tie out in my unfenced yard, nearby walking path & space to crate your dog.

About: I'm new to professional dog walking and eager to grow my experience. I've regularly walked my grandmother's dog, and I love being outdoors with animals. I'm reliable, patient, and will treat your dog with the same care I'd give my own family's pet. I'm happy to follow your routines and send updates along the way. I'm currently in school pursuing my master's degree. At the moment, I'm available on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM for walks, and I'm available from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon for house sitting. I only provide care at my client's home, not my own, so your pet stays in their familiar environment, which I find reduces stress for most animals. When I'm in your home for walks or house sitting, I follow your established routine for feeding, playtime, and walks as closely as possible. I keep a close eye on your pet's behavior and comfort throughout, make sure doors and gates are secure, and send updates or photos so you can check in. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect and attention I'd want if the roles were reversed.

About: I love all animals especially dogs. I think they are the most loyal and loving animals on this earth. I have over 19 year of caring for dogs of all sizes. I have trained all my dogs myself, and they are very well behaved. Dogs love me and they will be in good hands. I can crate your dog if you require and work on obedience training. I have over five acres that the dogs can run around and play, supervised of course. I have two dogs Latte and Brown and they provide great company to their visitors. I can provide pickup and drop off service. Cost is based on distance. Feel free to send me questions. Free meet and great upon request, and I can bring Latte and Brown for introductions.

About: I have several years of experience providing dependable and compassionate pet care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have cared for both small and large adult dogs through regular walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, ensuring they receive the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am comfortable handling energetic, strong dogs as well as senior dogs that require a gentler approach. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every dog, and I treat each pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to check in on pets. Prefer morning walks and late afternoon walks.Have an open schedule. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their regular routines. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, let them outside for bathroom breaks, clean up after them, administer medication if instructed, and spend quality time playing with and comforting them. I also keep the home clean and secure by bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and ensuring doors and gates are locked before leaving. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while they are away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I had a golden growing up for 15 years and now have a dog of my own! I love going on long walks with dogs who need it, playing fetch, and giving lots of scritches and love! No dog is too small or too big for me. Happy to accommodate anything your pet needs! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work in VA and living MD so I’m really all over the map. I would prefer any time after 3 but can also come in the mornings with enough heads up. I do not have a fenced in back yard but do have a nice trail to walk on and get some energy out. I also have a lead in the backyard to keep the dogs safe and not escape if they would like to roam freely. My coonhound has been just fine with the set up! I also have a crate if preferred. My dog is friendly with others and loves other dogs!

“Thalia was great! She came to do drop ins with my dog and cat over the weekend and did a great job. The boys were very happy with their care. Thalia even was able to do a quick meet and greet prior to the scheduled drop ins to make sure the boys were comfortable with her.”

About: I love all kinds of animals!! I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I used to walk my neighbors dogs all throughout high school and college. I treat every animal I take care of as my own dog, with lots of care and love!!! I have undergone a routine of caring for my own dog, with walking multiple times a day, playing with a bunch of toys, and making her entertained. I am open to caring for other pets and giving them the love I give my own dog. I work in the restaurant business so I have a good amount of free time! I love reaching out to owners when I am watching your dog. I will send lots of updates, photos, and everything in between while you're away!! After years of taking care of pets, I have come to understand that every animal is different and needs their own routine and care!

About: I’ve had experience in pet sitting for minimum 10 years. Attention to detail and care for pets needs come first. Restrictions if any are considered as well. Morning, mid day, and evening walks are a must. As well as feeding, as frequent or less as needed. Pets will remain hydrated and have ample play time and relaxation time throughout the day. I offer a fenced yard with a seperate play area inside of home dedicated to pets. There will be ample space inside, or outside of home for pets to flourish and plenty of dog parks available if preferred.

“I highly recommend Latoya to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker. I have known Latoya for about four years because she lives in my community, and I have seen firsthand how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. I often see her walking her own dog, Chosen, throughout the community. Chosen is always friendly, well behaved, and clearly very well cared for, which made me feel completely comfortable trusting Latoya with my two dogs. Since hiring Latoya through Rover, she has done an excellent job. She communicates with me before arriving and again after she leaves, keeps me updated, and sends photos through the Rover app so I can see how my dogs are doing. That level of communication gives me great peace of mind when I am away from home. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love her. They are comfortable and happy around her, and it is obvious that Latoya treats them with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She is reliable, responsible, professional, and someone I completely trust in my home and with my dogs. When you trust someone with your pets, you want to know they are being cared for by someone who will treat them like their own, and that is exactly what Latoya does. I feel fortunate to have someone I know and trust taking care of my dogs. I would highly recommend Latoya to anyone looking for dog walking or pet care services through Rover. She has earned my trust, and I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
