About: I have been walking/ taking care of dogs for many years. I have walked old dogs, young dogs, big and small. I have done transports and done overnights. I enjoy engaging the dogs in playing fetch or even just sitting on the couch and giving belly rubs. I am involved in my visits, I will feed the dogs and clean up backyard and house messes of any pet accidents that may have occurred. I will give treats and simple commands as the owners request. I will give frequent updates and pictures as requested and take good care of your pets while your are gone. i look forward to taking care of your four legged friends and you entrusting me to take good care of them.
“Laura is excellent! She came by for two meet and greets, for the visit was always on time, and the dogs were well taken care of. She's great at filling out the care card and keeping us informed of the visits. Highly recommend, I will use again!”
“Disha is AMAZING! She was able to bond with my very grumpy older cat from the beginning. Even though he normally hides from strangers, Disha had him literally eating out of her hand & purring from the 2nd day! She sent me pics and videos of each of her visits, so I wouldn't worry. I highly recommend Disha to anyone who wants their pet to be loved & catered to while they are away. If we could give her 10 stars, we would!”
About: I have many years of experience taking care of many different kinds of animals. I also used to work at a doggie daycare and boarding facility. I was laid off recently, so my schedule is very open for right now. I wouldn’t have a huge issue fitting it into my schedule. I’ve cared for many pets at once so taking dogs out separately, crating them at night or feeding them differently and separating them is no issue. I can accommodate most requests.
About: Our little family (Nathan, Kelly, and our kids) are raising Huck, a 1 year old Yellow Lab. We’ve trained him and are found walking around town with him often. As dog owners, we know how much it means to us when someone we trust is able to watch our dog. Now we want to give the same option to other pet owners. While most of our experience is with dogs, my wife can also cat sit and we also have had a fish in recent years. We are laid back, but also have some active hobbies, such as hiking, kayaking and traveling. We would love to hang out, walk, play, and feed your pup in the comfort of his or her home, or welcome him or her to ours. In addition to Huck, Kelly and I rescued a reactive dog with separation anxiety and had him for several years. I grew up with a mini-Pom and also helped raise a golden retriever from a puppy. We also have many friends with dogs and sit for them frequently. We are very comfortable administering oral medication but since we will be bringing the dog around our family, the dog should not be aggressive or reactive. We are at home most days and we homeschool and work from home for several days throughout the week. We are happy to work with your schedule to support your pet. We love to play with dogs. Our kids have been around dogs since they were very young and love cats as well, although we don’t have one.
About: I was born into an animal loving family. I grew up around dogs of all sizes and many cats. I personally have fostered and rescued pets. I often pet sit for family and friends, particularly a one family member who has 8 dogs covering the following breeds: Lab Pitbull/Lab Mix American Fox Hound mix English Bulldog Great Pyrenees Heeler/ Australian shep mix German Shepherd lab mix I have successfully walked these dogs together! I am a full time Social Worker Monday- Friday 8-4. Saturdays and Sundays I'm fairly flexible although I do have a second job. I am typically only busy for few hours if I am busy. I can pet sit during the week if you are in the city of Frederick as I can walk your pet before work just before 8am, midday at lunch, and then again at 4pm when I get off. I am open to accommodate unique schedules within reason. I will ensure you pet is walked and uses the bathroom during the walk. I pay attention to any concerns in the bowel movements. I will also ensure they have food and water per instructions.
