Cat Sitting in Johnsontown

“Excellent sitter used her for drop in visits while on vacation. She was great at asking questions and communicating to keep up to date on my pets well being while I was away.”

About: I’ve had different types of dogs since I was young. I’ve trained dogs for all types of reasons. I’m a lover of all pups and can handle your dogs needs. I own a large property specifically for the environment, which is perfect for dogs. I look forward to meeting your doggie and returning a happy pup back to you. Please message for any details. I’m available on weekends and weeknights. I work full time M-F, so weekends are primarily open. While I can do many activities during the work week, I am gone about 8 hours for my primary job. Weeknights and weekends are available. I have a large property with plenty of room to roam. Chickens in the yard (in coop). I have a 6 year old pup of my own that is very docile, loves other animals and gets along with them easily, and is my number two. I don’t have a fence because my dog is perimeter trained. However, I can perimeter train your dog too or walk them on a leash if that is preferred. I plan to add a fence soon and will update this once I do.

“Marissa took great care of our 4 cats! We didn’t have to worry about them while we were away. I’d recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: I love pets of all kinds, shapes, and sizes. I accept all personalities coming from an owner of a very mischievous husky and a reactive senior pup. I have several years of dog walking and sitting in DC as well as working at veterinarian offices. I am also currently enrolled in nursing school so am no stranger to any medically necessary situations. I will always ensure to treat your pet like my own and make sure they grown to love me like their own! I currently work nights part time at UMMC as well as am enrolled full time in nursing school. Though that might sound like my schedule I’m jammed pack, I have plenty of breaks in between for your beloved pups! I also enjoy quality time outside and would love to have a fur friend to join me. I currently do not do pet sitting in home or out as I have a 3 year old toddler I simply cannot spend time away from and my senior pup is unfortunately dog reactive.

“Carrie took great care of our cats!”

“Zelle was tremendous! When we first met she put me at ease right away, so friendly and asking such good questions. She really wanted to understand our dogs differing needs. During our absence, she checked in at our agreed upon times and sent lovely pictures at each check-in. It was such a comfort to know my fur babies were cared for so lovingly. Will not hesitate to call on her again.”

Lynnette C.

“Brina was INCREDIBLE with our two cats. She truly went above and beyond in caring for them -- from spending extra time with them, to making sure they have plenty of play time and affection, to sending us detailed updates and checking over the house each day. I truly cannot recommend her enough, and feel blessed to have found her to take care of our cats while we are away. I look forward to working with Brina again!”

Samantha K.

“Highly recommend compassionate and overwhelming professional. Our guy is very shy, but was able to find comfort and go about his normal routine. Would use over and over”

About: I've watched and taken care of dogs for many years, mainly family and near by neighbors. I have grew up on a farm which i've taken care of many other animals as well... mainly farm animals and dogs!! I'm currently in college right now, it's mostly online so that's not really an issue. I'm working part time as well, which I have plenty of time to take care of the dogs!! I'm always free on weekends unless otherwise noted!! I have two golden-doodles, which are crate trained. They are allowed to run freely outside but they know where they are and aren't allowed. I keep them on a schedule, meaning with going outside, playing, and feeding.

About: I've had the privilege to care for many types of animals through my life. Caring for animals is my passion in life, and I will happily care for yours like they are my own. My private sitting is more cost effective than boarding you pets. If you have multiple pets I am willing to negotiate my fees to help you afford quality care for your pets. It causes them less stress being in their own home. They won't be around pets they don't know. There will be no chance of them catching an animal illness or be injured by another pet. I will only be caring for your pets so they will have all of my attention and affection the whole time you are away not divided among however many pets are being boarded during that time. I can also stay with them overnight so if anything happens they will not have to wait until someone arrives in the morning to check on them. I will keep your pets on whatever schedule you would like. Depending on your needs I will happily take them for walks, play with them, love them, and am comfortable giving meds. I have taken care of pets for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I also have experience with many types of animals, but will follow the instructions you give as you know what your pet needs more than anyone else. I will send photos and updates however often you would like to let you know how they are doing. Unlike leaving them at a boarding facility your pets will be the only ones I am caring for and will receive my full attention. I will also always have my phone on if you need to reach me about anything. I currently live with my husband, 4 dogs, 1 bird, and several hermit crabs. I work primarily on my computer and am home most of the day. My husband can care for our pets when I am not home so I can focus fully on caring for yours. If you need someone who can stay home all day with your pets while you're away, I can easily work remotely from your home. I may need to occasionally run errands, but unless discussed before hand, I will not be gone for more than 2 hours. I am currently unable to stay away from my home for more than 2 days as I have family obligations that are preventing me from staying longer. I should be able to return to longer overnight stays in the summer. I work remotely from home. This leaves me in a great position to work remotely from your home while caring for your pets. I also make my own schedule so if you just need me to stop by: to feed, play with, pet, walk, or just be there so they aren't alone all day, I will happily do that too. I will always listen to what you tell me your pet needs. For example if you have a fenced yard that you would like me to walk them in on a leash, I will do just that. I won't make assumptions about what is safe for your pet. You know them best and I will care for them in whatever way you want me to. Their health and safety is always my top priority.

About: I’ve been dog walking and sitting for neighbors since I was 12 years old. I’ve dog sat multiple types of dogs. I’ve done dog walking, check-in & potty break visits, and I’ve stayed at a clients home for long periods of time (5+ days) to be with their pups. I’ve also been tasked with administering insulin shots to dogs before. And I have a lot of experience with dogs that have anxiety, whether with new people, thunderstorms, or anything else, as I have one myself and a long remaining client of mine does as well. I’ve always loved dogs, having grown up having 2 smaller dogs myself. I am hoping to do pet sitting as a new permanent business, so I will have nothing but time to look after your pets! I will schedule out days and time periods based on client necessity and to provide the optimal care for your pets. Because I have two dogs myself, one of which has severe people and other animal anxiety, which for the safety of your pets and mine means I am unable to bring any pets into my home as of current. However, I’ve stayed at the homes of clients before to be with their pups while they’re away. I feed them every morning and night or make sure the food bowl is full depending on how the client feeds their dogs. I give them any medicine or joint tablets that they need to be well. I let them out multiple times a day whenever they need it. And I try to play with and pet them as much as I can while I’m there so they don’t miss their humans too much. I will even take them on a walk if allowed.

“When we were planning a trip out of the country, we wanted someone who was serious and committed to doing the best job they could for our cats and our house. We found this in Michael, who quickly earned the love and trust of Bagheera & Laska, our 2 cats. They are so different in personality and temperament it's hard to believe. Michael quickly won over the shy, cautious Laska, and became Bagheera's best buddy for playing and walks around the yard. He's not a snuggly cat, but he trusted Michael enough to even sit in his lap. We also felt that we could completely rely on Michael to do anything that was needed. When we got back, the plants had been watered, the house was as we left it (messy but clean), and the cats were happy. We trust Michael and highly recommend him.”

About: From the moment I was born I’ve been a pet owner. In total, I’ve had 10 dogs and cats throughout my life (currently 3 cats and 1 dog). I’ve cared for pets of family friends and strangers alike. I’ve never met a dog or cat that didn’t soon become my friend. In college, I dog sat for local families over the holidays when I wasn’t able to go home. Caring for others’ pets helped me when I was missing my own. Now I’m continuing my education online at my own pace and have plenty of time and love to give to your pets! My availability is very flexible as my classes are asynchronous, therefore I can (and would love to) take care of your pets whenever you need me.

About: I currently own a Pitbull she’s now 3 and have had 3 other dogs in the past. I love all dogs big or small and am happy to give them the attention they need. If you have other pets in your home that is okay I have no allergies and am good with most other pets. Each pet is unique and may need extra care and I am more than okay with that. I am a nice, kind, and caring person and love animals with all my heart. I am great with specific schedules, being punctual, and love giving pets attention. I am here to make your life easier and help take care of your best friend(s). I work full time 8-5pm and I am free Saturdays. I always will be transparent about my schedule to be sure everything goes per expectation. I’m very respectful of your home and space. I want you to be able to go about your life and not be worried about your pets or anything on my end.

About: I have loved animals since I was a little girl! I have many years of experience with dogs, cats and even small animals like hamsters, turtles and fish. I want to be there for you, and your furbaby so you can fully relax on that vacation you have been looking forward too! I am currently employee at Washington College with a pretty loose schedule! Being able to choose my hours and be able to work around yours is 100% a possibility that sets me apart! I live in an apartment with a fenced in backyard. I live in downtown chestertown which is open to all different types of walking opportunities and is a short walk to many fields at the college!

About: I have been born and raised to take care of any type of family member from the small lizard to largest dog to feathered friends and horses. I love all animals and I have family members of my own. Plus I have a little helper who isn't scared of anything and loves to help her momma as much as she can. I'm will to do what ever it takes to make sure everyone is a happy camper and provide the best care I can to keep your mind at ease knowing you family is in good hands. Feel free to ask me anything and if you have any special requests let me know I will do what I can to make it happen. I'll treat your kids as if they were my own. I'm currently employed part-time but I'm looking to get out of the retail business and starting my own pet sitting business where I can enjoy doing what I love. I currently live in a small apartment, so it ideal that I travel back and forth from my house to clients home. I have fur babies and a family of my own, hopefully when I get a home of my own I could introduce the doggy daycare and pet sitting at my home.
