Alexia and Jayden were excellent with our very special babies! We have a senior Lab and a 2 year old Lab, so two completely different temperaments. Alexia and Jayden kept me updated pretty regularly, on my dogs eating and activity level by sending photos and videos of them. Coming home my dogs were very relaxed, happy and safe! Which is the most important thing!

Matt is wonderful to stay with our pup. We even noticed our husky was sad that he left after the last stay of almost 2 weeks. Sends updates, can replace bulbs, and is a supper kind animal person!

About: As the proud owner to two wonderful little rescue dogs, a cat, some chickens, guinea fowl, goats and sheep, I know how hard it can be sometimes to find care for your pets and farm animals while you are away. I will provide the same level of care and kindness that I would want and expect for my own spoiled pets. Trust is an important part of pet care and petsitting, and I want you to be able to confidently, and without worry, leave your pampered pups and kitties in my care. I live on a small farm in rural Western Maryland, about 20 minutes west of Frederick. I have experience with all kinds of animal care, from horses, cows, goats, sheep, and poultry. I am currently able to provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, as well as house or farm sitting, and in home boarding, as well as hourly dog park style use of our large fenced yard. Your pets will be a happy addition to my family in my home! My whole property is fenced by 4 ft or taller board and wire fencing, with smaller areas sectioned off in the front and back yards. The driveway is gated and secure. I want your pets to feel as safe as my own. I currently work only at home, tending our farm homestead, and have a flexible schedule. I'm able to drop in one or two times a day, or less or more often, as needed. I treat every animal as if it were my own and provide a level of care that I give my own and that I would expect from my pet care provider.

About: I have always had a pet in my house since the day I was born. Mostly dogs, but I have also had other smaller pets. I now have one 12 year old chocolate lab and one 6 year old black lab that I take care of everyday. Because of this I have experience with puppies and older dogs, along with dealing with more than one pet at a time. I currently have school from 10:30-2:15 but I am free anytime before then and after that. I also am available almost every weekend if needed. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door to get outside and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I love to take my pets on walks or just play with them in the house or yard.

About: I have been responsibly caring for pets since I was 14 years old, which has given me many years of hands-on experience with animals. I currently care for four dogs, including a German Shepherd and mixed breeds, as well as two cats of different breeds. This has helped me develop a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I have experience caring for puppies, adult pets, and senior animals, and I am attentive to how their needs change with age. I am very patient, loving, and reliable, and I always strive to provide a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. I follow routines carefully, respect schedules, and adapt easily to each pet’s unique personality to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I usually take dogs out for walks in the mornings or afternoons, depending on the day and their needs. I prepare their meals daily, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I also provide healthy snacks in the afternoon. I make time for play, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I personally handle bathing and grooming, including brushing, to ensure pets are clean, comfortable, and well cared for. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I make sure pets are supervised at all times and kept in a clean, calm, and secure environment. I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, and any special care needs provided by the owner. I am very attentive to doors, gates, and walk safety to prevent accidents. I also take time to build trust with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for while they are with me.

Dominika did a great job taking care of our three cats and tiny dog while the entire family took a long-awaited vacation. We usually leave a family member at home to care for the pets as we have very detailed care instructions. She and her family have experience with our rare breed of dog, Prague Ratters, and our boy Vozel loves her! Excellent communication and photos every day. Will definitely book Dominika again!
