House Sitting in Mardela Springs

“Chelsea is a gem. She went above and beyond to care for Cooper who had a reaction to pain medicine he started a few days before we left him. She nursed him back to health, and kept me in the loop along the way. It is comforting to know our sweet boy is safe, happy, and well cared for while we are away.”

About: With over 7 years of pet care experience, I specialize in providing personalized attention to pets of all ages and needs. I adapt my services to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, allowing me to provide consistent routines. I am currently in a veterinary assistant program to gain certification and complete career goals! I’ve also volunteered at the humane society events and dog walking. I am a first time mom, currently in the newborn stage. He was born February 6th. I am the primary parent and take care of him night and day, therefore i unfortunately can’t work. I do have support that will watch him while I do drop in’s, burnsides appointments I am mainly free!! In your home, I focus on maintaining a safe and familiar environment for your pet. I follow your pet's routine closely, ensuring their feeding, playtime, and exercise schedules are consistent. I also make sure to provide plenty of attention, love, and mental stimulation, even if it is just walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority.

“We are delighted by Amber who watched our pup Oxford this past weekend. She was extremely proactive with her questions and willingness to come for a pre-visit to meet him beforehand. She stayed at our home from Friday night through Sunday and left our place spotless. Oxford seemed to have a great time with her and Amber was communicative even with our spotty service. We will definitely have Amber back to watch Oxford and are happy to recommend her.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and small animals for as long as I can remember. My family always had a dog and at least 2 cats while I was coming up. I helped with puppy training, walks, play time, cleaning cat boxes, daily feedings, sometimes feeding schedules, and general love and affection. Today, I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, a bearded dragon, and a dwarf hamster of my own. My dogs are the sweetest and most loving. They love to play, snuggle, and get butt scratches. My cats are extremely affectionate....when they want to be. Daily feeding, watering, and weekly litter changes keep them happy and healthy. My bearded dragon has an amazing tank setup with a climbing log, a hideaway, a hammock, proper lighting and temp control, an ample sized food and water dish, and all the crickets and super worms her heart desires. My hamster is the newest addition to our farm. She sleeps most of the day, but I always make sure she has plenty of food to eat or stash, fresh water, something to chew on to keep her teeth filed down, and all the fluff she could want so she's able to tunnel, nest, and feel safe. Her house is cleaned weekly and new fluff is added. I love taking care of furry, 4-legged animals of all kinds. **Disclaimer: I do not take care of insects or arachnids. Strong phobia** I currently work as a 911 dispatcher. My shifts are 24 hours on, 72 hours off. I have ample time to make sure my pets are very well taken care of. I will take your pups outside as much as they want to go. I love playing with them and watching them run around and be happy. Walkies are a daily thing. Every dog needs their exercise. I'll love and cuddle your cats until they've had enough and decide to get up. Play time, treat time, potty time, you name it and I'll be there for it. If your pup likes to ride, well then we'll go galavanting with our heads out the window and tongues in the wind! Every dog is a lap dog no matter their size. Some dogs deal with separation anxiety, and it's heartbreaking for us as pet parents. Let me ease your mind and be there for your puppers when you can't be.

“Kaitlyn did a good job with our boy Zeus, our overactive 2yr old Doberman! We would recommend her service for pet sitting!”

About: I’ve had dogs and have been taking care of family and friends dogs and cats for over 10 years. My family has had healthy dogs and dogs that have had medical issues over the years, and so I’m knowledgeable in looking after a dog who has undergone surgery, or who requires special care due to paralyzation. I love all animals and friends have relied on me to house sit their dogs while they go away on trips or vacations for multiple days at a time, sometimes with more than one dog at a time, or additional pets as well, so I’m very experienced in addressing each animals needs, while also sending “daily nanny cam” updates to family and friends so they can see their pets during the day and know that they’re happy and doing well. I work full time, but work from home two out of the five days, so I would be able to take your dog on multiple walks during the day, come over and stay with them for a few hours to play, or even house sit them for the day or several days if you’re going away for a trip. If they require special medication I just ask that you leave me their vitamin/mediation schedule and will administer based on your instructions. My family dog loves to cuddle with me in my lap and when she’s not allowed on the furniture, I’ll often sit on the floor with her so that she can snuggle with me. On the days that I work from home, I would be happy to stay at your home with your pets making sure their needs are met. I love my family pets and will give your pets the same love and affection that I give mine. My animals are allowed to snuggle with me on the couch or on the bed (unless you don’t want them on the furniture/ there are behavioral issues I need to be aware of, I would have them do the same thing). I walk my family dog in the afternoons and play with her throughout the day with dog toys and fetch, but will monitor if it looks like the toy is coming apart and could pose a risk to them. I would follow all instructions left when it comes to house sitting/walks/or day sitting, and would ask for you to share any behavioral issues or triggers with me in advance so I care be aware of them prior to taking your pets out on walks or just in day to day interactions. This allows me to be aware for your pets safety and the safety of any other animals we could come around. If a dog doesn’t seem friendly while we’re on a walk, I would remove your dog from that situation to try and keep them as safe as possible. I will also always reach out to contact you if there are any issues or questions I have about daily activities, medications, etc. When I dog sit at someone’s home, I recognize that I am really there just to look after their pet, so I don’t leave the house for extended periods of time and will actually put on animal shows for the pets to watch, including planet earth, or Disney pet movies. I also like to send updates that I called “nanny cams”, which are photos or videos of your pet playing or just hanging about so that you can have peace of mind that they’re happy and you can also see them while you’re away and receive updates. I will always communicate with you very openly to ensure you have peace of mind while I’m taking care of your pet.

“Jordyn did a wonderful job puppysitting our two furbabies! She kept me up to date and answered in timely manner. From the minute we met, I could tell how loving and caring she would be. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with boarding and/or other pet needs.”

I am currently the DayPlay Lead at K9 Heeling, rates the “#1 Dog Training Company” on the Eastern Shore, based on The Metropolitan Magazine! I love all animals and would willing to watch any type!! I am currently working full time! I’ve plenty of free time to take care of your pets and make sure they have the best quality care! After all it is what I do for a living! I would prefer to pet sit in your home so that the dog can stay in the comfort of its own home, if at all possible!

About: Do you ever hear someone say they have been caring for animals their entire life? Well for me, that’s actually true .My family has a boarding kennel that was opened the year after I was born; and it’s where I’ve spent a lot of my life. Additionally, with many years of vet tech experience and a natural passion for caring for animals, I also have a knack for picking up on illnesses. Treating your animals like my own is my biggest goal, and I will do whatever is necessary to make them happy. Very comfortable giving medicine, including insulin or other injectable medications. Animals are a passion of mine and my years of experience allow me to be knowledgeable on many different aspects of pet care. I work full time but I my schedule is pretty flexible, and can be managed to fit your pets needs. I can provide windows for drop in visits. My pet sitting services are tailored to fit your pets needs. I can walk dogs or let them out in a fenced in back yard. They are never left unsupervised while outside and prefer to use a leash if you do not have a fenced in backyard.

“My cats love Marcus! Even my senior boy Miles who usually hides from strangers came out for him, which says a lot as he's slow to trust people he doesn't know, especially when I'm not there to provide a sense of security for him. Something came up during the stay but Marcus communicated this to me and was able to resolve it with no problems. I've used him multiple times and have always been pleased with the care he has provided to my babies. We will soon be moving out of the area and I'm already sad about having to find a new sitter. Molly, Milo, Max, and Miles will miss the honorary bonus member of the "M" name crew! Thanks for everything!”

About: Dog sitting is something I truly excel at—I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I make sure each pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether that means sticking to their feeding routine, going on long, playful walks, or just being there for some quality cuddle time. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, quickly noticing if something seems off. I treat every dog like they're part of the family, and pet parents can relax knowing their furry friend is in great hands with me. I currently work part-time caregiver for my mom and father. I have a flexible work schedule so I can do all hours . I believe the more rime u can spend with a animal the more you conny just like a caregiver. I ahve a cat that is friendly and free to go as he pleases. i have toys and a nice yard to play in although will still have to be a leash. And as for your home i will keep the most responsible respectful i can be in your home and to your pet.

About: I've been pet sitting for many years and I have experience in many different ages, breeds, energy levels, etc. I've always been naturally drawn to dogs and vice versa. I'm an active college student looking for some pups to take along on my daily walks and runs, but I can also provide regular care like visits throughout the day for those with long work days and out of town trips :) I am a college student finishing up my Junior year in May, leaving me with plenty of free time in the summer. I work part-time as a personal trainer so I have a flexible schedule that is under my control. I am often available on short notice :) I have one small dog (my childhood dog that I stole when I went off to college) that becomes best friends with every dog she meets, but she stays with my parents in Ocean City when needed. I've stayed in many client's homes before and I always enjoy the down time with the pup(s).

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 13 because I never got to have my own cat or dog at my house. I cherish all types of pets from geckos to horses, and treat every pet as if it were my own. There are no limits to the needs of your pets! I am currently working a full time nanny job but am flexible all throughout each day. My nights are free and I am able to leave work at any time during the day to feed, walk, or just hang out with your pet! My weekends are also free and I am ready to fill my time with being available for your pets. Anything you need from me I am capable. I am comfortable with crating, not crating, pee pads, and abnormal feeding or walking schedules. I will treat your pet and home like it were mine!

About: I have had pets all my life pretty much! I have always grown up with dogs, but over the last 7-8 years I have experience with cats as well! I currently am not working so I have been trying to pet sit for people as much as I can! I have open availability always. I am always very careful when going to a client's home and always follow their rules and what they ask me to do and am always respectful of their home

“Kara was great. She spent the whole day with our dog Ginger and when we got home, Ginger was calm and happy. She can get pretty stressed when we are gone so the fact that we came home and found her calm was a great sign. Kara made her feel taken care of and that made us feel wonderful. I highly recommend Kara.”

“Danielle was GREAT! She kept us in the loop with lots of photos/texts while we were away. We felt very comfortable entrusting her with our animals and having her stay in our house while we were gone.”
