Dog Sitting Havre de Grace

About: I am a mature and reliable pet sitter with a preference for cats but will also be happy to provide care for small dogs or other animals. I operate with a genuine love for all all animals and have a history of community service and donations to animal shelters and causes. I have been a cat owner for over 12 years and currently have one senior cat. When it comes to cat care, my extensive experience and commitment to feline companionship shine through. I specialize in socializing skittish cats, exercising larger cats, and soothing senior cats. I am detail-oriented, ensuring that your pets get the care and attention they are accustomed to, including medication management, grooming, and in-home care. I am proactive in communication and am also highly responsive, giving pet-owners piece of mind. But that's not all – my versatility extends to caring for dogs as well. I bring the same level of dedication and expertise to canine companions, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or adherence to dietary requirements, I'm well-equipped to provide comprehensive care for dogs of smaller sizes. With me as your trusted pet sitter, you can confidently leave both your cats and dogs in capable hands. Your pets' happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities, and I take pride in delivering exceptional care tailored to their individual needs, whether they're four-legged felines or canine companions. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate most requests with enough notice. While I can provide care for your pet in your own home, I am also available to host your pet in my home. I have a one-level home with hard wood floors (for easy cleanup) and pet-proof furniture. I do not let animals outside unattended so if you have a cat that likes to wander outside, I will not be comfortable allowing that

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience working in veterinary hospitals and doggy daycare settings. I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also have a strong interest in pet nutrition and overall wellness, which helps me pay attention to the little details that keep pets healthy and happy. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, keeping up with routines, or just spending time giving them attention and comfort, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet! I'm a full-time college student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I can do same day walks/sittings, and I love to take care of animals whenever I can! I treat every animal like they are my own. This is something that is super important to me - treat every animal how you want to be treated, or how you'd treat your own!

“We can't say enough about how amazing Alissa was with our elderly cat Zoe! We were away for 2 weeks and really nervous about leaving her for that long given her diabetes and health. Alissa stepped in and relieved those fears. She was at the house the same day everyday to make sure Zoe received her medications, as well as cleaned up after her. She went above and beyond and swept up loose litter and even gave Zoe a bath one day! Our cat was in great hands, and she looked forward to her visits with Alissa. We would highly recommend letting Alissa look after your pet! 10/10!”

“Excellent communication before and during our first time hiring Alley. She was great with the dogs and spent lots of time with them. Alley is definitely hired for every time we need a sitter!!”

About: I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life. I currently own two standard Goldendoodles and foster cats/kittens for the Hero Rescue. I have been an animal lover since I was a small child. I have patience with pets that need some time adapting to a new person in their area. I work full time so pets that are crate trained would work best for boarding in my home. If you would rather me come for drop ins I can stay and make sure they are fed, have water, get play time, and plenty of love while I’m there. Dogs in my home would have a fenced in yard for supervised potty breaks and play time. I also have enough space to throw a ball/toy for fetch inside for extra exercise. They would have my 2 Goldendoodles for company but any boarders would need to be crate trained so I don’t have to worry about them getting into anything while I’m at work. I also have cameras in my home so I can check in on everyone throughout the day. Drop ins would get attention, love, and play time while I’m at your home with them.

“Ann made Darla‘s first visit with her very pleasant and comfortable. She’s the perfect person for our little Darla. We know she’s in good hands in Ann’s care.”

“Great job with the cats.”

“Beth was AMAZING with my new rescue pup! I was a nervous wreck having to leave my new dog for two nights away, and I knew she had too much anxiety to do well being boarded. I opted to try having someone drop in on her at home instead and I'm so glad I did! Beth took amazing care of her! She took lots of time making sure she got attention and cuddles, and even went above and beyond and took her bed home to wash it when she had a little accident. When I got home this morning, my pup was sleeping happily in her crate and looked totally happy after two whole nights away from me. All thanks to Beth! I will absolutely use her again and felt totally comfortable having her in my home and taking care of my dog. Highly highly recommend!!!! :)”

I work full-time as a pet caregiver. I am available every day from early morning until evening, with no other jobs. I can always make time to come to your home and take good care of your dog.

“I cannot say enough great things about Kara! She is WONDERFUL with my 2 boys and step brothers dog! I don’t trust just anyone with my dogs and the day she came to meet them I knew I could trust her! My boys are very stubborn, high energy, and not always the best off leash, and she got them to listen and they looked so happy with all of the pictures/videos she sent me during the drop in visits (crazy dog mom here, I like lots of pics of my babies while I’m gone)”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember — I’ve had everything from hermit crabs and frogs to cats and dogs since I was a kid! Friends, family, and even my coaches have always trusted me to take them on a walk and petsit. I also worked on a farm where I helped bathe dogs and care for all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable giving medicine, trimming nails, and making bath time fun and easy. I treat every pet like my own — with lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, your pets will be in caring, reliable hands. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for pet care! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have morning classes but long breaks from 10:30–12:30 that are perfect for walks or potty breaks. Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m done with class by early afternoon, giving me lots of time for drop-ins, playtime, or longer walks. Weekends are completely open, so I’m very flexible for house sitting or extended visits. No matter what my day looks like, I always make time for animals — spending time with pets is honestly one of my favorite ways to take a break from studying! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime routines — so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always keep their space clean and cozy. I’m comfortable giving medication if needed and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: ***drop off and pick up times are between 9 am -2:30 pm or between 5 pm and 10 pm***** as I have zoom meetings in mornings and afternoons ; Rover will not let me put in specific times I do apologize****I have two fur babies of my own! They are spoiled rotten. Their names are Rainy and Stormy . I am well trained in giving oral medications as I had a fur baby that had congestive heart failure for 4 years whom also was a senior dog when he passed at 18 years old. I have taken care of other people’s dogs and cats. Where they are treated like my babies while here as well and get spoiled and lots of attention. I work from home and care for my grandmother so I will home with them at all times. I can administrate pills/medicine if needed. I am able to take the dogs out whenever it is needed. My babies are always by my side like shadows. I have a fenced in yard.My dogs love to play with friends dogs. The more the merrier!

“Anita was awesome and took such good care of our kitties! She went above and beyond and we will definitely rebook with her in the future. 💕”

“Aria was on time and communicated quickly and efficiently for both the meet & greet and her first drop in visit with my 7mo puppy. She provided a detailed update at the end of visit and included some of my new favorite photos of my dog! She’s easy to coordinate with and I’ll definitely be booking recurring visits :)”

About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been around them since I was a child. I've cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and family, so I'm comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company with plenty of cuddles, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. What sets me apart is the care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll treat your dog like they're part of my own family, providing reliable care, affection, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether your pet needs daytime visits, evening walks, overnight care, or weekend attention, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I make sure I have the time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I provide care in my clients' homes to help pets stay comfortable in the environment they know best. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've been fostering dogs and cats since 2013, I've done pet sitting for 5 years, and I worked at an animal boarding facility for a little over a year. I can give medication, and I have experience with all sorts of pets. I currently work part time, so I have quite a bit of time to stop by and check on your pet. Or, if I'm staying in your home, your pet will have lots of attention because I will be home most of the day. Depending on the animals needs, I'm able to do anything and everything to make them feel comfortable when they not so furry parents aren't home.

“I’m grateful to have returned home to happy and healthy cats, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear they were well cared for in my absence. That said, I did notice an excessive amount of food left in their trays, which suggests my written instructions may not have been entirely clear or closely followed. Next time, I would definitely provide a step-by-step walkthrough of their feeding routine to ensure everything is as straightforward as possible. Overall, I’m thankful for the peace of mind while I was away.”

About: I have been fostering and dog sitting since I was 17! I have taken care of 12 dogs in the last few years and they were continuous clients. I am able to keep your dog on a schedule if needed, or your dog out for some exercise, or just help out if needed! I am available mornings and early afternoons during the week but can make exceptions on a case by case basis. I am in the military and work full-time. Therefore, I can only take boardings on Fridays and Saturdays. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have one fur baby to keep your dog company! I live in a luxury apartment complex with a dog park and take my dog on plenty of walks. I take him to the park or to my parents to get exercise too!
