House Sitting in Elkton

About: I am back from home after graduating with a Masters this summer, so I am excited to come home and go back to dog sitting, what I’ve done since I was in high school! My dog Sammy is always so excited when we go home because she gets to meet new pup friends, and we both love having more dogs around to play with. Sammy is just about the nicest dog you'll ever meet. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! We have a huge yard (and a very tall fence, so no need to worry if anybody can jump over it!) that we can run in all day, and when we're all tired, we lounge on the couch and relax. Sammy and I take daily walks, and sometimes walk twice a day, which your animal can join in on as well. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading all day for my winter break so I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me and my pup Sammy

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats alike as long as I can remember. My family, neighbors, and friends trust their fur babies with me because I treat them like they are my own. I am a stay at home wife, so my day is completely free to look after your fur babies. I have all the time needed to provide a safe and happy stay. I have a fenced yard and two of my own fur babies to keep your baby happy and entertained. The babies are allowed on the furniture and in my bed if they need it.

“Paige was great from her initial visit with Buster up until we got home. She proved us wonderful pictures and updates of Buster while we were gone.”

About: I grew up with dogs, so i have taken care of them my whole life. I have also helped out friends and family members with dog sitting. I am currently working part time, so i have plenty of free time during my day to take care of your animals. I can stop by frequently or house sit as well. I have two dogs and i take care of them by feeding them, letting them out, making sure they have water, walking them, etc. i am very good with animals, and enjoy spending time with them.

“Valerie is the sweetest! She is so knowledgeable about animals and their needs. She bonded with our puppy Charlie instantly. She came to the house and watched Charlie for 5 hours and was so attentive to her. They went for a walk, played ball and snuggled on the couch together. I highly recommend Valerie as a Fur Nanny! She’s the best!!”

I have taken the dogs on walks, played with them inside and outside, fed them, and given them so much lovens! I have watched a variety of dogs from small to big! I just absolutely love all dogs and want to take the best care of yours! I’m currently working full time as a nanny monday-fridays 8AM-4:30PM. I would be available to walk or check in on your furry friends after I get off! I’d be able to also stay overnight if you're out of town and be with them in the morning and evenings! The weekends I am free any time! I wont be able to have any pets at my house as i’m currently living with my in laws. However, I would be able to stay or watch them at yours! I will take care of your sweet pets however you need me to!

About: i have taken care of animals all my life from dogs, cats, lizards, and birds i will make your animal feel loved just like if it was my own pet im currently working part time at a dog grooming place so im not busy so i have time to walk and take care of your animals when needed. i have a huge yard for my six dogs where we go out when it’s nice out to play ball and run to get some energy out of them and we have a separate room for their crates so when we leave we put them in crates so they don’t get into anything

“Karie was awesome! She took the time to make a trip over to meet our dogs before her first stay, which was so appreciated. She sent us pictures during her stay and kept us in the loop. Great communication. I know my dogs enjoyed her stay and were looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

“Kaelyn stayed in our home for over 4 days with our senior dog Levi and did an incredible job! He usually gets sad and doesn’t want to eat/drink when we are away, but he felt so close & comfy with Kaelyn that he did not experience that at all. She did a tremendous job and kept us updated by texting daily photos. Communication with her was also very easy and she responded quickly. We’d 100% recommend her for ANY job. She’s very sweet, smart, respectful, and accountable. ❤️”

About: I have had animals my whole life and I have love for all kinds of fur babies. I can’t wait to meet yours and shower them with love and attention! I just graduated college and am applying for corporate jobs at the moment, but so far am primarily pet sitting so my schedule is very open. I do not care for pets in my home as it is a shared space with roommates and pets. Thank you for your time and understanding.

“Corinne was fantastic with our dog and two cats. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very easy to work with throughout the process. We’ve already booked Corinne for our next trip and know the pets and house will be in great hands.”

About: Hi!! My name is Lena, and I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals. I currently work at a veterinary clinic, where i get experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve become comfortable recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and providing compassionate care to pets with special needs. My experience working close with veterinarians is sure to keep owners relieved! I have been around animals my whole life! I currently have 4 dogs. I grew up with dogs, and I’ve had the privilege of caring for them from puppyhood through their senior years. I also have experience caring for cats and currently have a cat of my own! My combination of professional experience and genuine love for animals is perfect for your precious pets! I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m committed to providing the same level of care and attention I would give my own pets! My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also love updates and photos so you can stay connected to your babies while you’re away! I currently work full time, but I have a flexible schedule and can still provide dependable care!

I know how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone in your home. I take that responsibility seriously and always aim to be respectful and reliable! I follow all instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pets feel safe and cared for in their familiar environment. Communication is also important to me, so I’m happy to provide updates while you’re away!

About: My names Jessica, I have 3 dogs a beagle and a pit mix, a cat, and a rabbit of my own. As many know you can only have so many animals of your own. Which is why I would enjoy helping others care for their animals. And bonus, I get to see and interact with more animals. I had pets as a child and have had my dogs since they were puppies my oldest is ten, the youngest being 5. I worked while in nursing school so I know life gets busy and it’s nice to have a helping hand you can rely on to care for your animals. I’m a registered nurse and have been in nursing for 11 years. Although I have enjoyed nursing, doing some type of dog daycare, boarding or walking has always been a dream of mine. So allow me to love your pets as you do and help! Currently my schedule varies, but I work 2 or 3 12 hours shifts a week as a nurse. I have a fiancé, friend, and parents who have helped me with my animals during busy times or vacations. As for my own pets, my three dogs get fed morning and evening. My cat has an automatic feeder that portions her foods out because she has a sensitive stomach. My rabbit lives in his hutch and visits inside at times, he eats lots of veggies and his pellets. His favorite green is cilantro! Unlimited water for all the animals of course. When the weather allows I like to walk my dogs. In the summer I also enjoy taking my dogs on our boat and they enjoy it to the fullest. I am looking to offer pet sitting and walking. The pet sitting would include going to the clients home letting out, feeding, and playing with the animals twice per day, if any special circumstances we can discuss and potentially work something out, and also if an animal would require medication I can do that as well. I’m open to dogs, cats, and rabbits only because that is what I’m familiar with.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was young. I had my own animals, mostly dogs and cats, then at 13 I started working at a petting zoo, moved onto dog walking, at 17-19 then a doggy daycare around 20. I now currently work with dogs for grooming. I have experience both owning and sitting, Rabbits, Ferrets, Reptiles, Birds, Cats and Dogs. I am presently unemployed due to losing my previous job because my car broke down and I wasn't able to get a new one. I was a dog bather and was trained in bathing, nail clippings, and face and sanitary trims. My availability is pretty much any time needed so long as when I get another job I can have the time off I need to take care of your baby but I will always communicate with you before the appointment is even booked. I'm very excited to be back with Rover as I am finally in the position where I can take clients again. Pet Sitting: i normally feed my cats around 10AM and 10PM. If you have other times, please let me know, I’d like to maintain as much of a schedule as you have for your baby. I’m experienced in giving oral medication, and some special needs care if need be. If they need a bath, nails clipped, or even a little trim up, I can also do so as I have some experience from working in a grooming shop.

“Jeannine took wonderful care of our sweet Winnie while we were gone. I was very nervous to leave her, but Jeannine reassured me by sending frequent updates and lots of pictures so I knew just how she was doing. Jeannine was very quick to reply to my messages and kept me updated throughout our absence. We will definitely use Jeannine again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Shane is awesome! He took great care of our 3 goldens and 4 cats. He was very good with Tank (our high maintenance dog) and was able to keep him calm and happy. We got daily photos and updates. I never worried. Shane is trustworthy and dependable. I think the dogs were upset when we got home as they were hoping it was Shane. Thank you for taking good care of everyone while we were away. We will always look to book Shane for our pet sitting needs.”
