House Sitting in Maple

“Rebekah is fantastic! She watched our dog Charlie on short notice while we are on vacation and he was having separation anxiety. He immediately became best buds with her, and we got to spend a relaxing 2 hours playing putt putt with our kids. Highly recommend!”

Lindsey H.

“Brianna took care of & loved our active, big, playful dogs like they were her own! She sent us lots of photos, & I know she really made sure to play fetch with them & use up their energy. Also went above & beyond to tidy up the house before I returned. Definitely recommend!”

Catherine L.

“Brittany is awesome and she is my new go to when I need my dog looked after. I recently moved to the area and have been looking for someone to look after my dog when I have to travel. She kept in constant communication with me; provided photos and videos daily; and even picked up an Easter gift for him.”

About: I love taking care of animals during my free time I have recently babysat, family, and friends pets. My last roommate did have a dog that we both took care of together, and if I could have an animal I would, but I have a high potential moving as I am currently active duty military. I believe I am current on most stuff you would and wouldn’t do with dogs and cats. I have grown up with a lot of cats in my life so I feel I am very knowledgeable or as knowledgeable as I can be. I currently only work in the mornings between 6am-1pm Monday through Friday. But I am on call every other week so if extenuating situations happen, I could be called to work. I do have an apartment so my space isn’t as huge, but they would have free room depending on their temperament I am not one to create a dog that doesn’t wanna be created, but I know some puppies can’t hold their pee so I may avoid them in my personal room due to having carpet, but I will always gauge a situation before that as I would want said pet to be as comfortable as possible. And if I need to watch a pet at a client’s home, I would just wanna follow what the client would want I would never wanna put a dog in an uncomfortable situation

“Christine has sat for us now three times and she always does a great job. She genuinely loves animals and we trust her immensely with our two rescue pups.”

“Highly recommend Gayla for all your dog/house sitting needs. She keep us in the loop with pictures and video’s throughout our trip. Don’t think twice about hiring her!!”

“Aliyah was great. We have a big old house with its quirks and lots of pets with even more quirks, and she took great care of everything! Pets were extremely happy and relaxed when we got home.”

Jaimie S.

“If you want your pet(s) in the best hands, book Lyfrance! Lyfrance was communicative and punctual from the start. She was so kind and gentle with my 60 lb anxious pitbull. Saint was immediately comfortable with her, staring up at her for pets. I got pictures and thorough updates on how he was doing while I was away. My home was immaculate when I returned, my plants were watered, her linens were clean - she even folded a small load of laundry I had in the dryer 🤩 Saint was SO content and happy, like I never left. That is the true test. She took the time to hand write a thank you card and purchased Saint a small gift. Lyfrance, you’re a diamond in the rough, thank you so much for taking such good care of my babe and my home. 10/10 would recommend 🖤”

About: == FULL TIME DOGGIE DAYCARE AND BOARDING! == Thank you for stopping by! Please read on to learn more about how we got started in the pet care business. == ABOUT US == We are a military family full of dog lovers (who isn't) and have been since we were children. This journey started after volunteering for a few months at a local humane society and wanting to spend more of our time with dogs. Since starting our Rover journey, we have been trusted with the privilege of caring for many of our friends' and family's dogs. With us, you can be sure that your dog will be in the hands of someone who enjoys dogs and their loving nature! == MEET AND GREETS == We personally do not require meet and greets but are more than willing to accomodate your request to have one, as we understand and value a mutually harmonious fit between all parties. Meet and greets will take place in the front yard and be limited to 10-15 minutes. Also, please know that we do not give tours due to liability reasons, however there are pictures on our profile to reference if needed. Our home is spacious, safe, secure and clean! PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Daycare rates cover up to 12 hours ( pricing can be adjusted for half days etc) Boarding rates covers 24 hours *If a daycare stay exceeds 12 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. **If a boarding stay exceeds 24 hours by more than 2 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. ***A convenience fee of $10 will be applied to any drop off or pick up prior to 7am. Please note that any photos and updates will be sent between the hours of 9am -9pm. If you have any further questions that were not answered here, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for reading and we hope to meet you and your best friend! == SCHEDULE == Our family is are full time dog sitters (spouse, mother in-law) and Eric still works his full time job in the military typically 8am-2pm. We are committed to have a dog loving and caring life while balancing our "weekends". We are typically able to accommodate changes in your schedule/needs to adjust pick up and drop off times. Please let us know as soon as possible about any adjustments needed. == DURING YOUR PUPS STAY == Upon a dog's first arrival, we strictly monitor their interactions with any other dog to be aware of any dynamics we need to be concerned about. We do not hesitate to separate dogs into different play areas if anything seems off. Our property is fully fenced on all sides, and we have gates to keep even the best escape artist pups safe. Dogs have full access to our entire downstairs which open up to a well-maintained fenced in yard. == FEEDING == During feeding time, your dog will fed in their crate or a play pen area to prevent food aggression and upset stomachs caused by consuming foreign dog food of other pups. == SLEEPING == Crate-trained dogs will sleep in crates (please specify if your dog is used to a certain size, as we have a wide variety of sizes available. Dogs who are not crate trained will sleep in a pen. Special accommodations can be made for dogs who are not able to do either of those. == WALKS == While it is our goal to make sure each dog get proper exercise and socialization, we do not provide walks during boarding due to liability and risk factors involved with walks (dogs escaping from harness, eating something off the side walk, coming into contact with an unfriendly dog, etc). We do, however give them plenty of outdoor time with the other dogs or solo to socialize and play, which we find is ample exercise for the pups that stay with us. REQUESTED INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PET Prior to dropping off, please fill out your dog's bio as much as possible. == THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DOG == -Is your pup sick and/or contagious? -Quirks or habits that would be helpful to know (humping, chewing on paws, separation anxiety, excessive barking, etc). -Current or past illnesses, injuries, or traumatic history/triggers. -If they are taking any medication or require any special care instructions. -Is your pup up to date on vaccinations and flea & tick medication. We understand vaccines are not bulletproof and that some illnesses may have an extended incubation period but we highly recommend the vaccines to create the safest experience. *Please know that we are unable to care for sick/contagious dogs. If your pup shows any signs of disease or illness, please let us know beforehand so we can make sure you receive a proper refund. If we discover that your pup is exhibiting obvious symptoms of disease with the first 12 hours with us, your dog will need to be picked up and no refund will be issued. I work 2-3 days a week. Spouse is a stay at home mother. One of us is always at home and available to give your fur baby all of the attention that they need! Trustworthy military member (20 yrs of active-duty service). We can provide care in our home or come to you. I also work as a full-time volunteer for Chesapeake Humane Society helping with dog care team and enrichment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was seven, I started just recently getting into staying over at peoples houses and dog sitting like that. My brother has a German Shepherd and a pitbull. I have a Dalmatian! Love to go on walks and letting dogs run around (in a fenced area) for fun! i am currently going back to school so i will have breaks within the day to go on a dog walk. I don’t work at night so i can also have sleepovers as well! I like to take pets out for a car rides beach walks, and regular walks when it’s not too hot for their paws. If the house has a pool, the dog is always supervised. while, swimming in it.

“WOW! Just... Wow! This dog sitter went well beyond dog sitting and probably took better care of our home and dogs than we do. There's so many reasons to recommend Megan. Our dogs had long walks, tons of attention and I think they miss her already. Our plants are better off than they were, our home is a bit cleaner (and it was already pretty dang clean) and even our hummingbird feeder got it's daily cleaning and refill. Definitely, absolutely, 100% - book her while you can. She's amazing.”

“Thank you Lisa for taking such good care of Apollo. We really appreciate how happy he is and the pictures, texts, updates about him while we are traveling. Your love of our furry best friend is very appreciated by us.”

“If you want the best care possible for your pet(s), book with Alex! Being new to the area with the military, I’ve been through a couple Rovers, I have finally found my go to! Leaving Saint and my home in Alex’s hands was by far the most comfortable experience. He has this genuinely kind, laid back attitude, and Saint took to him right away. Saint has high anxiety and he barely lifted his head when I left. Alex’s communication is next level and I had zero worry while I was out of town. I got good morning and good night pictures, too! Alex took the time to keep my home spotless, water my plants, bring Saint for a car ride, and even left a handwritten card and gift for Saint 🥹 Grateful doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about the care he gave my pup and my home. 10/10 would recommend.”
