“We needed a somewhat last minute sitter for our pups (in home) and Michelle was happy to help out! She was absolutely wonderful with our pups. She followed their routines and gave them lots of love which made me feel so reassured when we were away. She also communicated consistently and provided lots of pics of the pups. I will definitely reach out to her again if we need a sitter in the future!”
About: Started caring for pets since I was 10. Mostly dogs and cats along with some awesome rabbits. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk, feed, play, administer medicine, clean liter boxes and give good lovin' to their beloved pets ! Lots of experience staying with pets in their home (sometimes for several weeks at a time) or coming to their home several times days for care. Realized that I was born with a natural rapport with animals. Grateful for this ability and nurtured these skills all my life. I'm currently applying for full-time work, so I'll have plenty of time (flexible hours) to love-up on your dearest dogs with walks, play and treats. Of course, belly rubs are included! Haven't had my own pet in awhile, but lived with housemates who have wonderful animal spirits (dogs, cats and bunnies) to brighten their lives and mine. When I've lived with pets, always check they have plenty of clean water and food and, depending on how they are housed, make sure they are safe in their crates or curled up in their favorite spots before I leave. Always make sure that I know where list of emergency contacts and vet info is located.
“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 have watched multiple types of dogs including: shih tzu, Yorkies, Pomeranian, lab, poodles, redbones, border collie, boxers, pit bulls, jack Russells, and Chihuahuas. I have bathed, cut hair/ nails, brushed, and given medicine to many dogs. I have fed, watered, walked, ran, and scratched dogs. I have kept multiple dogs overnight, during the day and in the evening. I have taken dogs to the vet, let them out periodically, and just stopped by to give them some attention also! In the end, I really truly do love all dogs and I just want to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have availability through out most evenings from 4pm - 11pm. I could also do some earlier in the morning for a couple hours with enough notice. Weekends I’m fully free. I can also do overnight and then morning drop offs if needed. Or I could keep them at my house during the day and stop by a few times to let them out (I’m right next door)! I will give them food / water / medicine when directed. I will give them treats when deserved or directed. I will take them on walks, play with them, and let them out periodically to use the bathroom. I will give them lots of cuddles and scratches if that’s something they are interested in!
About: New to the area and am a huge animal lover! Worked in a small town veterinarian office, so I was always surrounded by others’ pets. I have open availability and am more than able to find a time to work around both your schedule and mine to accommodate the proper care routine. Whether it be my own pet or someone else’s, giving them plenty of attention and time throughout the day allows for a proper care routine.
About: I have haloed my grandma with her dog Marlee since the day we got her , I will care for her when my grandma is out of town or I’ll go get her for a weekend . I also help my friends out with their animals when I’m with them I graduate in about 2 weeks and I’m looking for a job that can work around that until I graduate then I can do more full time things here on Rover , I can do evening walks/ afternoons . Then weekends I’m completely free for sitting , etc I have leashes and a portable water bowl for pups, we can crate the dog if needed if I do a sitting job , I can get any supplies needed for your pup to make them comfortable.

“Shauden watched my four dogs for a week and was amazing with them! He gave all the right medication to them on time, and went the extra mile and walked them when I didn't even ask him to. He's the funniest, sweetest person I know and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my babies.”
