About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. Including gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, birds, dogs, cats, and assisted with goats, donkeys, horses. I have prior pet sitting experience. My Mother owned a pet sitting business in the early 2000's, I assisted her. She has since retired and is from the Sykesville/Eldersburg area...farmland area more or so back then...many things have changed. She taught me to love all animals, even if they're grouchy...look for that light that's inside them...love that. Cat parents...we had barn cats...Spanky and Cleo, the occasional stray that decided to call are farm home. We had heated and a/c controlled tack rooms. Both cats were adopted from shelters and lived 10 plus years. They had free roam with the horses...goats...donkeys...and neighbors dog Bailey...very well loved. I do know that cats are particular with who they accept/like. Sometimes it takes time. But it's important to pay attention to them and their body language. I respect that. I have plenty of time to help take care of pets. Whether it's daily visits or vacations, it's important to know your furry, scaled, or feather babies are in good hands. Depending on your pets needs, I love petting and giving cuddles to animals. I am comfortable changing rodent and bird cages, or different needs for individual pets. Just an update since I have been on Rover...I have lost both my dogs, Diesel 12/21 and Riley 2/23, Diesel was a rescue pup that we adopted at 6 months old. Riley was from a private home. They were together from 6 and 9 months old and were my best friends. I miss them dearly and think about them everyday. Diesel was just about 13 years old and Riley was over 14 years old. I am taking a break for a bit from having my own pups, and all the love I have for dogs and any animal will be passed on to any that I take care of. I am available weekdays and weekends. Mornings and evenings, mid day visits as well Monday thru Friday. I communicate my schedule during the meet and greet or prior to booking if there is any conflicts. I treat my clients pets as I would my own. It can be lonely and scary when a pets owner is gone more than normal, they will get lots of love.

About: Have taken care of and LOVED any household pet you can think of. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, cats, rabbits, gerbils, lizards etc. Right now I am a mother of two very adorable bunnies, and two very active cats. I have a lot of love to give, and would be delighted to share it with your fur baby. I'm big on communication, so I am happy to send you daily update pictures of your pet while you are away. I have experience working with animals who have medication and/or mobility needs. One of my favorite things when pet-sitting is taking cat-naps or hanging out with your furbaby if they're just feeling lonely and need some additional attention. Happy to love on your pet and make them feel happy and comfortable while you are away. I am typically free after 3pm monday thursday friday. Then after 4pm on tuesday and thursday. My weekends are fairly flexible. Just send me a message and we can chat schedules! Safety of your pet will be top priority. I understand that every pet is different and will follow owners guidance on what works best for them and their pet. If you have a pet that needs to be crated during the day, I will follow the care as directed. Furthermore, if you have a pet that is free roam during the day I will ensure that the environment is safe for them to roam without harm or injury.

“Dionne was very prompt and professional. My pet loved her walk with Dionne, who sent plenty of photos and left a great summary of the walk. I’d be happy to book a walk with Dionne in the future!”

About: As a dedicated dog walker and in-home pet sitter with over two years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I care for every dog (and cat!) as if they were my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs and routines. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun, and tailored walks ✅ Home visits that follow your pet’s schedule ✅ Clean water, food, meds (if needed), and lots of affection ✅ Daily photo updates and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going ✅ Respect for your home and your pet’s space I’m trained in basic pet first aid and always check collars, leashes, and gates before heading out. Whether it’s a quiet walk or an energy-burning play session, your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priority. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because of how flexible and rewarding it is. Since I set my own schedule, I can book pet care clients around my part-time job shifts and study blocks, which helps me stay balanced and productive. Walking dogs gives me a much-needed mental reset from screen time and studying, and it keeps me active throughout the day. It’s also a great way to supplement my income without taking on another traditional job. Most of all, spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy and motivation — it breaks up long study days and reminds me why I love what I do Whether you’re at work or away for a few days, I provide reliable, in-home care that keeps your pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment. From daily walks to feeding, playtime, and medication routines, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. 🔐 Safety & Professionalism Equipped for pet first aid always carrying a kit Detailed home-entry and security protocols Leash and harness checks before every walk Weather-conscious and always alert to potential hazards Respectful of your home, your pets, and your time 📸 Peace of Mind After each visit, you’ll receive a photo and short update so you know how your furry friend is doing — because trust is built on communication

“Michael is a great dog walker! He responded to my last minute request and is very flexible. He has walked my dog twice and has been punctual and notified me when my poop bags were empty. I would definitely recommend!”

About: I have grown up with dogs in my family almost my entire life. I also dog sat growing up and still do to this day for family and friends. This included puppies under the age of 1 (frequent potty breaks and crate training), as well as senior dogs who required special care and assistance. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and would love to keep your fur babies company while you’re out of town! I am fortunate enough to have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to make your pets the number one priority while in my care. I have flexible work hours that allows me to spend time in the morning, afternoons and evenings with your animals. I can leave my office during the day with no problems. I am able to work from home when need be. This flexibility allows me to regularly check in on them, support their feeding routine and promptly address any health issues if they arise. When caring for pets in your home, I treat them as if they were my own. I prioritize their comfort and well-being by following their usual routines, providing plenty of playtime, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I maintain a clean and safe environment, taking extra care with feeding, grooming, and any special needs they may have, such as administering medications. My goal is to keep your pets happy and stress-free until you return.

About: I'm so in love with all types of animals! I've use to go on house sitting jobs with a close friend which led to me falling in love with the job! Just bonding with the dog or cat by feeding, bathing and snuggling really makes my heart warm! My schedule is flexible outside of animal care I'm a freelance artist. I don't get extremely busy and most of the artistic things can be done from home. I prefer house sitting at the dogs/cats original home so they don't feel out of place. When walking the dogs I will find the safest/peaceful route to a nearby park with other animals so they will be able to play with others or just enjoy themselves. I always carry a care bag for each pet that consists of first aid, water, poop bags, and etc. most importantly I will listen to your pet and use the routines you have set in place. pets have no problem expressing how they feel or what they would want to do for the day.

About: Dogs have always been part of our family, and I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a family with three friendly dogs, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. We provide a clean, structured, and supervised home where dogs receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, and affection throughout the day. We are experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, crate-trained dogs, and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated like one of our own. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Our goal is to create an stress-free, loving environment where every dog feels at home. My family and I have a flexible schedule that allows us to provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. Because we work from home part of the week, there is almost always someone available to monitor, play with, and care for your dog. We maintain regular feeding schedules, frequent potty breaks, daily exercise, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible and work hard to accommodate each family's needs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a clean, smoke-free home with a dedicated space designed specifically for boarding dogs, giving them plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. We have three friendly, well-socialized dogs and always introduce pets carefully to ensure everyone gets along. We closely supervise all interactions and can separate dogs whenever needed for meals, rest, or individual care. We follow each owner's feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special requests. We welcome crate-trained dogs and can accommodate dogs who need extra attention, senior care, or a quieter environment. You'll also receive daily photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, from friends to family, and have a family diva shih tzu in Maryland that is mostly family trained. I’ve also fostered a pitbull mix for a month! I’m also a dog walking volunteer at a local animal shelter. I’m good with animals and as an eldest sister I have a natural caretaking instinct (as well as being responsible and hard working ) :) I currently am a Ballet Dancer with the St Louis Ballet and have a part time job. That being said most of my morning and nights are available for all your pups / kitties needs :) I am an avid walk talking and will indulge in a run if your pet is up to it! I make sure to follow the owners instructions and treat the pet as it was my own, as well as the owners property and belongings

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 11 years old! They’ve ranged from dogs to cats to turtles to birds and more! I’ve loved every second of it and I would be honored to care for you fur baby, too! I’m currently working remotely with great flexibility so I’m able to work around whatever you need! It gives me the ability to care for pets on your schedule! I love to learn what a typical day for your pet looks like so I can adapt to their needs! Some pets need playtime to keep them happy and engaged and some pets need a calm environment to relax in - wherever your pet falls, I’ll be ready to accommodate!

“She took the extra time out doggos needed on their walk and sent us pictures! Love working with her!”

About: I have always taken care of pets since I was 8 years old along with growing up with animals in my household. I taught my former roommate cat to sit for treats and in the next year I am looking to get my license for animal training. I have always loved taking care of animals and am excited to help take care of yours. Adding your animal to my family and always treating your pet like my own with the same love and respect as my own. I am very flexible with others schedules and how late or early feedings are or walks. I take animals very seriously in addition with giving them the same love you'd give them at home during your daily reutine.

About: I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for both mixed breeds and Labradors. I helped raise two puppies a Lab/Rottweiler mix and a full Labrador so I’m comfortable with puppy care, routines, and high energy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I follow the pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I also give them plenty of attention and monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy and well cared for.
