House Sitting in Funkstown

“We left to go out of the country for 10 days. We found Katherine on Rover.com. She came to meet us and the 2 doggies we have a month or so before we left. She also came back to get the key to the house a week before we left. We went over any details that were left uncovered. Katherine communicated with us through our whole trip. Pictures were send daily. The dogs were in the best of care (2 large Chesapeake Bay Retrievers). We would highly recommend Katherine to take care of your furry family. Thank you Katherine for the wonderful care of our dogs and house.”

About: What sets me apart as a dog walker is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and understand they often need extra care, slower-paced walks, gentle handling, and lots of comfort and affection. Whether your pet needs a quick 20-minute walk, a drop-in visit, or all-day companionship, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for the entire time. I focus on building trust with each animal and providing personalized care for their unique personality and needs, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I am a stay at home mom of older children so I am available daily as needed. I am also available weekends and holidays day or night. I will give complete loving care to your pets and will walk and give companionship as much or as little as needed. I will treat them like my own.

“Kat was exceptional with our dog Wrigley while we were on vacation abroad. She treated him as if he were her own pet, providing the utmost care and attention. Communication was smooth and efficient throughout our time away. We wholeheartedly recommend Kat to anyone in need of a reliable house or pet sitter!”

“This was our first time utilizing ROVER sitters, and I am so glad we were led to Lindsey. From our initial meet and greet, our three-year-old playful and energetic Shepherd Theo loved her.She asked very thoughtful questions about his routine, and we could tell she genuinely loves animals. She quickly put our minds at ease as we had to go out of town for the day. I highly recommend Lindsay and we will definitely be reaching out to her again.🤗”

“Erika was thoughtful and caring with our two Corgis. We were appreciative of her quiet, professional approach with our furbabies. We highly recommend her and will ask for her assistance in the future!”

Ronald M.

“We are so thankful we found Caylene! Our dogs love her & had the best time with her while we were away. It’s always comforting to have someone you can trust to care for your fur babies when you’re not home. The dogs can’t wait for their next visit!”

Nicholas S.

“Adriana has been great and so patient with our big ole baby mastiff and our crazy little pit! 100% recommend her to take care of your fur babies!!!!”

“Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!”

“Emma was absolutely a blessing!! We booked Emma for pet sitting in our home with overnight stay!! Maggie has severe separation anxiety. Emma stayed with her 24/7 for 4 days and provided the best care and companionship for Maggie. She keep us updated with pics and check ins. She cleaned up after herself, even washing towels and sheets without being asked! I swear our house looked and smelled better than when we left! Emma is a beautiful soul who will care deeply for your pets. We will 100% book Emma again ❤️”
