About: Hi! I live in a big home with lots of space for long walks and play space for your pet! I have a large fenced back yard and I have plenty of space for your furbaby at my house. While I do not have any pets currently, I have had dogs and other animals all my life (30 years). I have a lot of experience with them in many capacities. I have experience with senior dogs as well. I would love to give your pet all the attention and snuggles they need. I will take amazing care of them and keep you updated as much as you prefer throughout their stay with me! I offer photos/videos during their stay during walks or snuggle/playtime. If you have any specific requests, please let me know!! ☺️ I am working from home currently, babysitting a few kiddos. What is your pets daily routine? How do they do with new people and kids? I like to leave something on the tv for the dogs for some “white noise” when I leave the house. I leave toys around for the dogs to play with and let them roam the house as they please. I can crate your dog as needed if that’s your preference!
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13/14. I work with dogs on maintaining training and manners. I enjoy taking care and giving cuddles to dogs and cats. I currently work full-time, but am available after generally after 5 pm most weekdays except Thursdays. I am available all day on Fridays for drop-in visits and/or walks. While I am unable to current board pets, I am happy to take care of pets in their own homes. Allowing for plenty of paint time, walks, and love.
About: I have owned breeds from Yorkies to Saint Bernards. I have no breed prejudice. I have experience with Rottweilers, pit bulls, bulldogs, etc. so I have no problem caring for the breeds others may not be comfortable with. I worked for a pet store for a while so I have experience handling multiple dogs at a time, specifically young puppies so I can handle a challenge! I have experience giving medications, grooming/bathing, nail trimming, walking. I am currently a stay at home mom to a toddler, So the majority of my day is open to provide services! Mainly during the day between 8:30-3:00 but can be available for evenings as well. I put your animals safety as well as my own first. I understand some animals need specific routine and will follow your directions very strictly. I am okay with being recorded in your home( pet cameras) as I know Id want to assure my animals were being well cared for as well.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have a 7 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a 1.5 year old Pomsky, so I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a home with my girlfriend, her two children, and our two friendly dogs who enjoy meeting new furry friends. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, they'll be treated like a member of our family. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have a job where I work from home so am home most of the day to take care of all of the puppy needs! :) We have 2 dogs to keep your puppy company. We have an unfenced yard that we can take your dog out on a leash as often as needed for potty breaks. We also have a couple kids who love dogs and would love to have more puppies to play with.
“Melisha was great with our new puppy Riley that we rescued. Riley loved her and loved the walks. Melisha would send us the cutest pictures of Riley on her walks. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had experience with all types of animals my entire life i grew up taking care of my dog widget since i was 7 me and my dog would go to pet training class as well. As my dog had gotten older me and my family had changed our routine and home life to accommodate to my best buds last days so he would be comfortable. I also grew up pet sitting for my aunt and still do.I have owned cats and dogs as well as some smaller rodents. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly schedule because i currently don’t have work and i am studying to become a tattoo artist my day consists of drawing and studying tattooing. i love to drive around so far drives to pet sit will not bother me what so ever!! I make sure to give your pets a stress free environment and give them cuddles depending on your animals personality!! I always make sure your friends are fed on time and taken on adventures with me on a walk and take them out to potty.
About: I have several years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I am currently pursuing my education to become a Small and Large Animal Veterinarian and specialize in Animal Psychology and Internal Medicine/Oncology. Through my experience, I have developed strong knowledge and skills in pet training, dog walking, proper nutrition and feeding, and medication administration. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work a part-time job on Mondays, Wednesdays, and every other Saturday from 2:30 PM to 8:30 PM, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for my pet care clients. I keep my Rover calendar up to date to accurately reflect my availability, though occasional changes may arise. If you don't see the dates or times you need, I encourage you to reach out anyway—I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide exceptional care for your furry family member! I do not offer in-home boarding, but I am happy to provide care in your home. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. When possible, I am available for extended stays, which can provide added consistency for your pet’s care and fit well with my schedule. I also recommend that clients leave detailed care instructions, as every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences.
About: My love for dogs began at a very young age, nothing can make me happier. I assisted my mom in running her kennel for many years, (we had 6 of our own) i was able to learn a lot from that and even got familiar with delivering puppies and working with dogs on behavioral issues before they were placed into their permanent homes. At 18 i got a job working as a kennel technician at a local pet shoppe, after showing my hard work and dedication i was given their assistant manager title! and i now own 2 dogs of my own, Everest & Copper. I am always willing to see if i can make something work out! i have a job but consistent hours can be a struggle within my work place. I truly believe that its all up to the owner, every dog is very different and has their own schedule and way they like to do things ! communication and listening to my clients is very important to me in order to make sure I'm respecting wishes and making their pup comfortable and happy as possible during our times spent together.

I highly recommend Mrs Keisha she will care for your fur babies as they were her own. She had provided 5Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️services 🙏🏽Thanks”
About: I’ve always had animals of all kinds. I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, reptiles, and fish! I’m well versed in giving medication to all sorts of animals, and I do best with quiet or skittish animals that need some extra patience I have a lovely part time job working on dog-friendly farms with a flexible schedule, so I’m available most of the time for pet care with minimal heads up! For boarding I have a yard with a long line for potty breaks, a private dog park with 24/7 access, two state parks within 20 minutes of me for hiking, and a 1,300 sq ft house with tons of toys and the ability to section my house off if pets need their personal space. I also have a friends farm I love to walk pets at as there’s no ‘public’! In the clients home I match care instructions to the letter as well as see if I can get the pet to interact with the toys and space available.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My childhood cat lived to 22, and I grew up with Golden Retrievers, including helping care for a litter of puppies. I also worked as an assistant manager at a large pet daycare facility and now have two rescue dogs of my own. I’m very active and love walking, so I’m happy to give dogs plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their needs. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work part-time in a flexible office role and can also work remotely, while I am building my real-estate career. That gives me the ability to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and staying consistent with each pet’s routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fenced yard, a large back porch, a walkable neighborhood, and a park nearby for walks and playtime. My two rescue dogs are used to sharing the furniture, so visiting pets will have plenty of comfortable places to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any house rules—while keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a former college coach and admissions counselor, I have spent most of my career in trusted, responsibility-heavy roles, and I bring that same attentiveness and care to every pet.
About: I have been pet sitting for 3 years and love all animals! I have a perfect setup for animal care, including a walking trail behind my house. I’m home during the week-I have 2 middle school aged boys that are in school and my husband works long hours. I am able to get up early for morning walks or feedings. I have a fenced in yard, with stairs leading to a deck, walk out basement with kitchenette for food storage, play area, and a resting bedroom.
About: I watch puppies and dogs, do boarding and house sitting and the occasional stop in / walks. Let me know if you have any questions about services or pricing! Can’t wait to meet you and your doggos! Currently working remotely part time and looking to fill gaps. And use my resources to help others and watch their pets for them. I have a lot of free time. Looking to eventually get into pet care full time. I have a fenced yard, single family home in a nice neighborhood with easy access to trails. I can take active dogs for runs to make sure they’re getting the excersize they need as well as care for them as if they were my own for the time I’m with them. Always respectful towards clients belongings and instructions as well.
About: Having the background of being raised on a farm has given me an innate love for animals. I have become a go to person for my friends and family in the city with not only dogs, but farm animals as well (cows, goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits etc.). I have experience with injured and ill animals as well in care taking. I am able to follow dietary restrictions and diets in general as well. Pets, cuddles and walks are no problem of course! :) I currently work from home (Thurmont, M-F 8-5) so I am very flexible with me being in home for either a whole work day, half day or drop ins (if close by). I cannot board in home. I am able to follow the direction of your pets care. Food schedules/diets, crating, walks etc. I keep every pets area clean and tidy so they feel as comfortable as possible. I simply ask for communication ahead of time in expecations.
About: Family and friends have always relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their pets. Animals are my passion and it's a joy to make them happy. They need love and compassion, no matter what. I have a soft spot for senior cats and dogs, and it's a joy to provide them with comfort. I especially love working with shy cats who don't like strangers! I always get them to break out of their shell and into my lap 🥰 I put in the extra effort to make sure all animals in my care have an incredibly fun time! Nothing is more fulfilling than doting on them and providing relief for their caring owners! I have an open schedule all week, and can care for your pets any time of day, or for an extended period of time. My availability is very flexible and I'm always eager to work around everyone's schedule so your babies have the care and attention they deserve! Your pets will be safe and at ease with me. I'm respectful of their emotions and boundaries, and ensure that they know I'm only there to dote on them. Even though their parents are away, I do everything in my power to ensure they are safe, healthy, and happy.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
