About: I've done pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for most of my life. This includes care of dogs to include feeding, play, walking, and administering meds if applicable. I currently have a six year old English Bulldog who is a stubborn sweetheart and I regularly pet sit for a family member's pitbull mix. I will be available on marked days, most regularly weekends as well as selected weekday options as I have a flexible/remote work set-up. I take care of pets of my own (as well as children) so I can confidently fill in to care for your pet. I have reliable transportation and defined radius on my profile so I can arrange for several walks and in home check-ins and care throughout the day and evening. When/if I do board or care for a client's pet in my home, there is a fenced in backyard and one other dog in the home.

About: I have never been without a pet until this past year. I am patient, kind, and ready to treat your pet like my own! I have cared for many of my family and friends' pets either in my home or theirs and ready to spread my love to yours! I am currently employed full time as a social worker, however, I telework Thursdays and Fridays, with the weekends off. I can accommodate (by switching days) as needed. As I reside close to downtown Frederick, I do not have a yard. However, I am very close to parks and trails if your pet enjoys being outdoors! If my Gracie was still here, who I lost in January, she would tell you about our fun walks downtown and to Baker park! My priority is making your pet feel as loved and safe as can be in your absence!

“Kayla is a fantastic cat sitter. My cat doesn’t warm to people quickly, but Astrid made friends with Kayla on the first day. I lt was such a relief to know that my cat was so being well cared for while I was gone.”


“Heidi was a wonderful sitter for our two Havanese and little parakeet. She sent pictures and updates and was very responsive with texts. Our girls loved her, and we will definitely be asking her to watch them again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them!”


About: I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and senior pets. I’m confident in giving oral and topical medications and understand how to adjust care based on each pet’s energy level, age, and personality. I focus on making animals feel safe, respected, and comfortable—whether it’s a calm senior cat or a high-energy large dog. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I’m flexible and make time every day for walks, play, feeding, and any needed medication. I prioritize consistency to keep pets comfortable and happy. Whether it’s daily visits or longer stays, I adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s unique needs. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Because my dog’s behavior can be unpredictable, I avoid bringing pets to my place. This way, I can focus entirely on your pet’s safety, routine, and well-being in a familiar environment.

“Mikayla did a fantastic job with my kitties. She took great care of my one diabetic insulin dependent Maine Coon. Spent a lot of quality time with them and went above and beyond in their care. Thanks!”


About: I've had cats my whole life but I've taken care of many friends' dogs. I love high energy pets and I adore taking silly pictures of animals. I was a lifeguard and pool operator for 6 years, human bodies are different than animals but first aide is a skill useful for any living being. And now that I have been on this app as well as Wag Walker, I have got to meet lots of new dogs and cats these past few months! I am a college student during the day and I work short shifts on weekends. Even with classes, I am always happy to accommodate and be flexible. I like to make sure my client's pets get some love and attention when I am in their home for a job. Especially when I am house sitting, I always expect that I will be "living" there so they aren't alone. I do work some days but my hours are in the late afternoon and are less than 6 hours usually.

About: As a dog lover with experience in training and raising my own during quarantine, I would make sure your pet gets the specialized attention they need. I'm also available on short term notice and can work with your schedule to ensure your dog gets the care they need. Im currently completing my graduate degree at Vanderbilt University this summer online. I have class at 2-3:30 on Tuesdays, but for projects I can make my own schedule for those so I am generally flexible! I would treat your pet with the same love and care as if they were my own. Whether it be long walks, playing time, early mornings or late nights, I would make sure they feel safe and comfortable wherever they may be. I am also happy to provide any additional care or attention they need.

“Carol has been wonderful with our pup! She is incredibly caring and absolutely loves what she does. She is also very reliable, a great communicator and flexible around appointments which has been really helpful around unexpected travel. We love Carol!”


“Audrey took such wonderful, loving care of my cat. It took a few days for my cat to warm up to her, but once she did she couldn’t get enough of Audrey. I would definitely book Audrey again.”


“Cindy was awesome. My dogs that are usually skeptical of new humans absolutely loved her. My dog seemed at ease and comfortable with her. Looking forward to booking more services with Cindy!”


“Talia was so good with our dog, Kona. She kept us updated with texts and pictures of Kona during our time away. She was responsive, professional and reliable. I would definitely recommend her.”
