Pet Sitting in Indian Head

About: I have always been an animal lover. I've had small,medium and extra large dogs! Growing up I was the kid that had rabbits, chickens, dogs and cats. I obtained my vet assistant certification to learn how to better care for my pets and have enjoyed spoiling them ever since! I'd love to help care for your fur babies. I am currently working until 4pm but I'm available any time after and on weekends. My husband is home during the day so there is always someone home to look after our pets. I have a park very close by along with nature trails for long walks. I have a 6 year old large baby who is able to keep anybody entertained.

“Wonderful to have Kady in our home taking such great care of our valued pets! Reliable and gracious, Kady kept us well informed and set our minds at ease. Let's do it again.”

“Nicole did such an amazing job taking care of my babies. Her kids were great with them and my dog definitely enjoyed having them around to play with while she was caring for them. I felt so much better while I was away from them knowing that she was caring for them.”

About: I have over 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I've consistently provided loving and responsible care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. My background includes daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, and ensuring a comfortable environment for furry friends. My passion for animals shines through in my attentive care, regular updates, and commitment to maintaining open communication with pet parents. I somewhat recently lost my last furry family member to lymphoma. I’ve yet to get another one as it is difficult losing our furry family member. I would take them out first thing in the mornings, if they didn’t wake us up earlier to go outside. Then give them their breakfast and play/cuddle with them.

About: I am currently working as a veterinarian technician at a small animal hospital. Working with dogs and cats and other small animals that I enjoy I am currently off on all weekends including Fridays, so I’ve had an open space where I just want to fill up my days . I am a very active person, I love enjoying the weather outside rain or shine. So I would love spending time with pets outside actively.

“Amy was absolutely amazing with our 3 fur babies!! She took wonderful care of them while we were away! I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again in the future!”

About: I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. From dogs and hamsters to turtles, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a variety of pets throughout my life. Caring for animals has allowed me to build strong relationships and trust with family, friends, and neighbors who rely on me to look after their beloved companions. As I’ve grown older, my love for every living creature has only deepened, and that passion shines through in the care I provide. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and happy while you are away! I am a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University! Though I am looking for fellowships, I would love to spend time caring for any pets that need some quality time and attention. I drive a small fiat, and will arrive and enter property per specific pet instructions! I will always make sure to keep a cleanly space and leave everything as it was, while also guaranteeing your loved one is set up before my departure.

“Cece was wonderful (caring and dependable). So happy to have found her to care for our dog. Her love for dogs is equal to her knowledge of dogs. Excellent sitter --- we will use her again.”

About: I have watched many breeds and types of animals dogs, cats, birds, and more. I look at the type of animal it’s age and many other things to see how that animal needs to be taken care of! I can watch dogs any day on the weekend and most days after 5pm. I work in the military so that is why my schedule is so tight. (Relatively) I care for pets as if they’re my own animal! Animals are sweet and innocent and deserve the world because they take care of us when we need it.

About: Working with animals has always been my passion. Right now I'm going to school to get my veterinary technician license. I have 2 pets of my own, Pepper and Teddy ages 8 and 6. I am currently working at a pet hospital as a veterinary assistant. We see a variety of dogs and cats, so I am comfortable around different breeds, big and small. I can provide plenty of belly ribs and TLC! I love working with puppies! It's so much fun when they come to the hospital. They are so playful and cuddly! I'm easy to get a long with. I'm a very dedicated and organized person. I would show your fur babies the love and care they deserve. I would treat them as if they were my own fur babies! *Please note availability will change weekly* I currently do not have a set schedule. I will keep my calendar updated as much a possible. If you have any question please ask When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my own pets. We go on walks in my neighborhood. There are two ponds in my neighborhood both dogs have a fun time sniffing anything and everything. We'll play a bunch of games, and explore all the smells around the neighborhood. I am comfortable feeding, administering medications. I will check fence or gates before letting a dog outside. Before leaving, I'll make sure to lock the doors and do one last check. Making sure the area the dog will stay in is clean and check that all trash can lids are locked, no food is on the counters, and that any gates or crate are secure.

About: I personally have two dogs and two cats. I have spent about half of the last 7 years caring for friends animals ranging from daily visits with cats to a 6 month at one time boarding of a dog. I work full time so am usually out of the house Monday - Friday from 7 to 5. We have a small dog door that leads to a fully fenced backyard so dogs still have access to use the bathroom as needed. I have two dogs and two cats so the type of dog or cat that can stay with us needs to be okay with both. One of the dogs really likes to play with other dogs. He can play pretty aggressively and is also not neutered so I cannot watch unspayed females in my home. One of the cats was chased up a tree by a German Shepard and doesn't respond well to larger dogs if they don't give her her space. We have a setup where the animals sleep together in their own room and are only allowed on the furniture in that room. We have plenty of space and have spare crates if needed. The dogs always have access to a dog door except for when they go to their room at night to sleep. We have two litter boxes set up in different parts of the house and have spares that can be put out.

About: I can accommodate your pets needs. My home is ideally suited for pets–a spacious, fully-fenced backyard for dogs to run around safely, I will maintain a calming presence with your dog. Walking/ running, fetch the ball are some outdoor activities to strengthen the bond with your dog. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a dog and have kept dogs for others. I take our dog out for walks and play-time with other dogs in the neighborhood . Diesel is very friendly, energetic and loving. My house has a large fenced yard. It’s not my practice to crate dogs. However, I can crate your dog if requested. I provide dog beds and allow dogs to move about freely. No one else will be assisting me with caring for your dog.

About: Hello, I'm Kristen and I would love to spoil your dog(s) while you are away! I started Rover dog-sitting after losing my dog of 12 years and it was the best decision. I've watched dogs of all sizes and personalities and enjoy learning what makes them unique. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I get to meet many dogs and learn more about dog behavior. I will treat your dogs like my own and make sure they get plenty of exercise to work off any anxiety from missing you. I'm happy to take care of puppies (if they are potty-trained) and senior dogs (if they are ok with stairs) and provide the extra attention they need. I live in a three-story townhome with a small carpeted basement off the garage, hardwood floor on main level, and carpet in the upstairs bedrooms. I have a small non-fenced yard in the back with a deck (4 stairs to ground). I've attached pictures of all the stairs for anyone with senior dogs. Dogs are free to couch-surf and allowed on the bed here. But I can reinforce whatever the rules are in their home.

“That is a great addition—it shows she really understands different cat personalities, from the "spicy" ones who hate grooming to the shy ones. Here is the updated review with those details included: ### Review for Liz **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Liz provided incredible care for my three cats while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving a multi-cat household, but Liz handled everything with total professionalism and genuine care. She stayed on top of their specific needs, including: * **Medication & Maintenance:** She reliably administered medicine and kept the litter boxes spotless. Food and water were always fresh and topped off. * **Frank:** I loved the updates about her playing with him; she made sure he got plenty of exercise with his favorite laser toy! * **Rudy:** She even managed to give Rudy a good brushing—something he usually hates when I do it! She clearly has a magic touch. * **Ryan:** For my hider, Ryan, Liz took the time to find her every day just to lay eyes on her and make sure she was safe and doing okay. It’s clear Liz truly loves animals and respects their individual boundaries. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy home. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, patient sitter!”

About: I’ve grown up caring for animals and have had 2 cats for 10 years and 2 dogs for the past 4 years (in separate homes). I have experience with dog walking, dog sitting, and cat care, including feeding, playtime, while their owners are away. I am very comfortable handling different personalities from energetic dogs to independent cats. I am responsible and will treat your pet like my own while following any instructions you provide. I am also very active, so I enjoy keeping dogs engaged and getting them the exercise they need! I am currently still in school, so I am only available on weekends at any time. After this month, I will have more flexibility and be available any day of the week. I have a fenced yard and two friendly Labrador mix dogs. I make sure pets are always supervised, safe, and comfortable, and I focus on keeping a calm and secure environment based on their needs.

About: Had multiple dogs pretty much all my life, as well as cared for neighbors/friends animals before. I’ve also dealt with cats, had a cat previously. Love all 4 legged love bugs😁 I mostly DoorDash in the local area, just looking to expand my horizons and opportunities in my communities around me. Figure this will be a good way to connect with more people as well as enjoy some animal company Dogs and cats have always been regularly fed/watered/bathroom breaks in my family, mostly by yours truely. I love given pets and scratches to all that welcome it, as well as playing with toys or just running around in the yard/ walking around the neighborhood

About: I’ve grown up with multiple dog breeds my whole life. I’ve also owned cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have 2+ years of experience with taking care of bearded dragons and I’ve had a couple visits with snakes, specifically corn snakes. I work with any and all dogs/cats. I also like to send pics/videos of the pets to their owners daily for that reassurance that their fur baby is taken care of with the upmost care! I’m currently a full-time college student. I’m available any day and any time of the week. I’m usually available last minute as well and around holidays if needed. I currently have 4 dogs; 3 Yorkies and 1 Boarder Collie mix. They’re set on a twice per day feeding and their internal clock is set to those times. If I were to be in a clients home, I would do my best to ensure the animal stays in their routine and their feeding/medication is on schedule. They’d get plenty of play times and unlimited cuddles!
