Pet Sitting Hunters Mill

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including managing multiple dogs in my own home. I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and needs—including large and giant breeds. Dog Preferences & Handling Notes: For safety and physical health reasons, I am not able to accommodate: heavy leash pullers, highly dog-reactive dogs, dogs with a history of lunging/dragging handlers, or multiple large high-energy dogs requiring significant physical restraint. I’m best matched with: leash-trained dogs, senior dogs, lower-to-moderate energy dogs, gentle giant breeds, and dogs with solid walking manners. This helps ensure a safe and positive experience for both your pets and me. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines to ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand the importance of calm, confident handling. I take a thoughtful, no-drama approach to pet care—dogs tend to settle quickly in my environment. I offer flexible scheduling for drop-in visits and dog walking throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I can be reliable, on time, and fully present for each visit. I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in your home environment, where your dog is most comfortable and secure. I do not offer boarding in my home. I’ve found that dogs do best when they can stay in their own space with their familiar routine, scents, and surroundings. For safety, I only accept dogs that are well-managed, non-aggressive, and manageable on leash. I’m not a good fit for dogs with a history of biting, high reactivity, or uncontrolled behavior. My approach is calm, consistent, and attentive. I focus on creating a safe, low-stress experience for each dog while maintaining clear communication with owners. Attention to detail when it comes to pet care is paramount.

“Genniver has been a great help with taking care of my baby! Ollie has really enjoyed her company and it’s obvious how thoughtful Genniver is about taking care of your animals. She even took time to come meet us before having to take care of him and I really appreciate that.”

“Pat did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies, to include one fur baby that’s a little skeptical of new people and faces. We’ve already booked her again for our next trip. Thank you Pat! 😊”

“Erica was amazing. She offered so much care and kindness to my elderly cat and was so conscientious about his needs. Great communication. I was nervous leaving my cat as I have not had him that long. But I actually think he probably prefers Erica to me! lol I will definitely use Erica again and I know Earl can't wait to have her back. I wholeheartedly encourage you to hire her!!”

“We are so grateful we found Mikelah! We were nervous about leaving our dog Sophie with anyone besides family or friends, but she made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. She was beyond amazing with our pets, very communicative, punctual, and thoughtful throughout every visit. Her photo updates were honestly the best and gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Mandy was amazing, she came 3 times per day while we were away on vacation and provided great photos and accounts of each visit. Would highly recommend her!”

“This is the 2nd time Tim has taken care of our pups & I can not say enough about him! For years our family has not taken any trips all together because of worrying about our pets. At least one of us would have to stay back with them. Now that we’ve found someone that we can trust we can FINALLY all go together as a whole family! I am so grateful to Tim & the memories I’ve been able to make with my grandchildren! Tim is so kind & patient with our emotionally high maintenance dogs. In the past, no one could even get our bulldog to come out of his crate if we weren’t here & our rescue pup is terrified of everyone outside of our family but in a short period of time Tim had completely won them over. They absolutely love him! Tim is professional, reliable & excellent at giving updates with photos. I really appreciate him & everything that he does for our family! I will definitely be asking him for his help again in the future!”

“Tamara took such wonderful care of our pets! We got daily updates with photos of them and their food. Each day she gave an update about how they were doing and took time to pet them and give them treats. She also made sure that the house was safe while we were gone.”

Creehan H.

“Brittney is absolutely the best. She gives such detailed rover cards for the drop ins. She is great at communicating, kind and treats my Lilly like her own. We have her set up on weekly visits and we just ant say thank you enough. Highly recommended Brittney for your pups!”

“My pets were well taken care of by Matthew, while we were out of town. We booked him for drop in visits and he even took the time to come and meet the pets before his scheduled visit times. He also took the best pictures while we were away. Will definitely book again.”

Natasha B.

“Jenna was wonderful. My cats were very happy to have her come check on them. She followed all the directions I laid out and sent me lots of pictures. She was very communicative and quick to respond. I would book her again! :)”

“Justice is always great with Gizmo and was sure to send me plenty of photos of him during his visit. Gizmo is partial to men and he definitely enjoys Justice's company. Justice makes my nervous boy feel at ease when I am out of town. He is definitely one of the best sitters and one of the few men in my area offering pet sitting services. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great sitter! ”
