House Sitting in Fifth Street

“Alex is amazing. Always on time, send photos through out his time. He really pays attention to Howie’s habits and likes to help make him comfortable! He was event kind enough to buy him a new ball when Howie knocked them over the fence and I wasn’t able to get to the store to get more.”

“Helen was excellent! We had never used Rover or any dog sitting services before, so we were a bit skeptical at first. Prior to the house sit, Helen came over about 2 weeks in advance to meet us and our pups. We have two larger, higher energy dogs and wanted to make sure she was comfortable taking care of them. During her stay she sent photos and reassured us that things were going great. We have already scheduled with Helen to watch our dogs again next month!”

“We had a great experience with Nathalya! She stayed at our house for a week and left everything clean and tidy, she even took the trash out!! Our 7-year old dog is usually very nervous around new people, but she warmed up quickly and seemed comfortable the entire time. Nathalya kept me updated daily with messages and photos, and always responded within minutes. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands! 10/10 would recommend Nathalya!”

“Paul was wonderful! He was responsive, clean, and responsible. He was very good with my dog and I felt at ease while I was away. I will hire him again!”

“Elmer was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond to sit our dog Ghost at our home for a week. He kept us updated daily and sent us lots of pictures and videos. We have a big energetic dog and Elmer made sure to walk him daily (sometimes multiple times a day) and cater to his needs. He even took care of a small wound Ghost had while we were away. We came home to a clean and tidy home and healthy and happy dog. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and have volunteered at my local animal shelter from ages nine to fifteen. I only left because of school and the need to get a job. I then worked at a grooming and boarding facility for almost three years. Now I work at an animal clinic as a kennel assistant for our boarding pets. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday with on and off again weekends, but have plenty of free time on the days I work a half day. On the days I work doubles however, I’d only have time to stop by somewhere near work as I only get an hour break. Otherwise, I’m free after 1pm or 6pm on certain days, or before I go in at 1pm. That can be discussed in more detail when required. As someone who has worked with many different boarding pets throughout the years I do believe taking care of pets in your own home will add more comfort to them as well as yourself. It’s easier to care for them on a schedule they are familiar with while in a space they know and love. I always treat them as if they are my own because I know I’d wish the same for my fur babies if I ever had someone watch over them.

“Not only was she AMAZING with my boys but she did some leash training Gave them snack took OUTSTANDING pictures and was just so so so kind. She followed my homes rules, she was sweet and my babies were well taken care of. WOULD RECOMMEND FOR ANY PET IN MD!!!!! Would book again no hesitation she’s amazing hands down I felt so confident with her and no NO issues. Love Love Love Thank you again Sophia!! 💕”

“Darrius did a great job with our pups. One is very prickly and needs medicine. He did a great job of making sure she took her medication which is our main concern. He also let our bigger dog take his time outside even when the weather wasn't great. We will definitely use him again.”

“Skyler was great, he was able to step in and watch our boys at the last second when our other sitter fell through. Caring for both a puppy and older dog with health issues at the same time is not an easy task and he did it with ease.”

“Leah was excellent with our 2 dogs When our flight was delayed she went above and beyond to help us out. I would highly recommend!”

“Jad is very trustworthy. We had him house sit and take care of our three dogs. He spent time with them and gave them plenty of attention. We thought he did such a great job, we are having him back next weekend.”

“Nelson was great with my pups! They had a great time. He updated me frequently with pictures. He even set up a kennel for me and cleaned up before he left. I will use Nelson again!”

About: Hi I’m Hannah! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a Yellow Lab and a Jack Russell Terrier, and in adulthood, I’ve had a French Bulldog and now a sweet Frenchie-Boston Terrier mix as our family dog. I’ve also had three wonderful cats, so I understand the unique personalities and needs of both pups and kitties. I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was about 10 years old, helping out neighbors, friends, and family—and I’ve truly loved every minute of it. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. What sets me apart: • Experienced with administering medications (oral and topical) • Comfortable feeding pets based on special diets or routines • Active playtime and personalized attention • Flexible schedule and reliable communication • Clean, respectful, and trustworthy in your home Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight care, or daily drop-ins, I’m here to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family! I work from home Monday through Friday, which means I have full availability to be with your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs constant company, scheduled walks, or drop-in visits, I have the flexibility to accommodate their routine even on weekends! I live in a house with a fully fenced-in yard, offering a safe and secure space for playtime and potty breaks. Your pet will enjoy lots of attention, love, and a comfortable home environment while you’re away. I truly love all animals as if they are my own. I do not currently own any of my own animals so that won’t be an issue.

“This was our first time using Roover and Carmelo was amazing. He even came over before our trip to meet us and Lana and get to know her. She instantly wanted to play with him and we knew it was going to be a great fit! He sent us photos multiple times a day and you could see she was having the best time and how happy she was with him there. We even joked that she might miss him more than us when we got home! We are rebooking him for our next trip as well and would recommend him to anyone needing their pets watched.”

About: What sets me apart is my deep, intuitive connection with animals and my lifelong experience caring for them. I specialize in senior pet care, offering gentle attention and patience, and I’m comfortable administering medication or following special routines. I also have experience with puppies and high-energy pets, helping reinforce positive habits through calm consistency. More than anything, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with love, respect, and care tailored to their unique personality. Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy building it into my schedule. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I plan my day around giving pets the time and attention they deserve. It doesn’t feel like work—it feels like purpose. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely to ensure consistency and comfort—feeding, walking, playtime, and medications as needed.

If I care for pets in my home, I provide a cozy, pet-safe space with lots of love, supervision, and tailored attention to help them feel right at home.

About: My wife and I have a dog for over 14 years and he has just passed away recently. My wife is a dog person and we have been taking care of our friends’ dogs whenever they need to be away. Every dog loves my wife. She truly loves dogs from the bottom of her heart. I ask her to get another dog but she refuses so I am signing up now to see if it will help her to get over the sadness of losing our baby. I really hope that this will cheer her up. There is a beautiful trail by the river at the back of our home. And we bought this home simply because our dog gets so excited when he first sees it. I’m home full time, so we do dog boarding and dog day care as well. There is at least one adult staying with these pups at all time. Dogs that come to us are treated like our family dog. We feed them, pet them, play with them. We not only care about their physical health, but also make sure they feel happy.
