About: I have taken vet assistant classes at Prince George Community College and have a certificate! I’ve taken care of my pets, including one of my dog’s with diabetes, administered insulin and checked blood sugar. I also have administered medication to my cats and have many years of experience taking care of all kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc. I have stayed overnight to watch my neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with all types of animals and have been volunteering at an animal shelter in Prince Frederick! I am a college student in nursing school and have classes from 8:30-10:30 and 12:30-2:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available any other time and can also stay overnight! My hours will vary so reach out if interested! I have a fenced in yard and one other dog that is very playful. But I am easily able to separate or crate them if needed.

About: I have taken care of animals for over a year now at a dog daycare/boarding centre in a variety of different circumstances. From Mastiff’s to Chihuahuas, I am confident taking care of various different sized dogs with a variety of different dietary needs from raw diets to kibble diets, medical needs from dogs that get medication once a day to dogs that get medication several times a day, and activity needs from dogs that need regular exercise to senior dogs that don’t need to be exercised. I have also had experience handling dogs that are extremely nervous around new people, dogs that can resource guard toys, and dogs that are highly reactive. I am a full-time commuter college student with large gaps between my morning and afternoon classes which I can travel to and from the owners house to let their dogs out and play with during. The only time that I am unable to stop by the house between classes is on Thursdays where I will be gone from 8 am to 2 pm due to my in-person lab course. I only offer services at my clients house so as of not to subject the pet to unnecessary stress from being in a new environment. I can administer any medication that is not via injection, I can cater to a variety of diets ranging from raw meat every day to freshly cooked food three times a day to kibble twice a day depending on the dogs needs, I have personal leashes that I can use or I can use the owners leashes to take the dog on walks as often as request/needed.

“Morgan was great with my fur babies. I received so many pictures and videos and felt connected to them even while I was miles away! I will definitely be asking Morgan to watch over my babies again and would highly recommend Morgan to anyone!”

About: I've always had a variety of pets growing up that I've cared for, from dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, bearded dragons, and some farm animals and I currently have a dog. My schedule allows me to be able to come to your house in the morning, evening and staying over nights and weekends, I'm also available for house sitting I can not take care of pets in my home but I can come to your house and either walk your dog on leash or stay to let them run around the yard for a while.

“Atiyana did a wonderful job taking care of our dig Leila. Leila was happy to meet her and took to her from day one. Thankful that she was able to care for her and feed our fish!”

“We could not have left our dog, Waldo, in better hands than Stacey's! Stacey feels like family and Waldo felt that, too. We're grateful for her photo and video updates and attentive care. We strongly recommend Stacey!!”

“Shemoy was wonderful! We have had bad experiences with Rover dog sitters in the past, but she made us feel very at ease while watching our dog. She was very responsive and reliable. She even left the sweetest Christmas treats for my dog. You can tell she really cares about animals. I will definitely book with her again.”

About: I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m extremely attentive to routines, moods, and comfort levels, so your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Most importantly, I'm compassionate and caring. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets receive a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routines—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime—to help them feel at home. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day while making sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and lots of love.

About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.

About: I love all kinds of animals, growing up I’ve had almost any animal you can think of! I especially love dogs and cats, and have experience with puppies, seniors, and sick dogs. Taking care of my animals is a daily task, from letting my cat out of my room at 5am to standing in the freezing cold night to make sure my dog went to the bathroom. I respect the pets space and make sure they approach me and feel safe before I approach them. I love cuddle and chill but also love to play.

“India was great with my dogs and they loved having her stay with them. I will definitely book with her again!”

“Torrie is always awesome with my cat and dog! She is very thorough providing care and I very much appreciate her communication style. As an anxious pet mom, I am always able to relax and know that my pets’ needs are being taken care of when I’m away! Thanks Torrie!!”

“Kara is amazing as usual! We’ve had her watch our pup multiple times now, and she always does a great job taking care of her. She always leaves our house in great shape, and keeps in touch everyday to tell us how the pup is doing. I highly recommend her, and will continue to have her as our go to dog sitter! 😊”

About: I’ve volunteered at my local Humane Society for three years consistently. I’ve had a dog for over 4 years and I’ve helped my best friend pet sit her 8 pets for the past 3 years. Im working to be a full time pet sitter at the moment. To me pet sitting doesn’t feel like work it feels as if Im home! I make sure to give each pets lots of attention. Even when Im looking away pets usually gravitate to me or follow me around .

“Leah was wonderful! Our pups loved her! This is the first time we’ve had a pet sitter, so we were a little nervous but she eased our worries. She was very prompt with messaging and gave us lots of updates! We will absolutely book her again!”

About: I have lived with all kinds of animals such as cats, dogs, fish, and even a sheep since childhood and have plenty of experience caring for my own pets as well as pet sitting for friends and family over the past 5+ years. I have dealt with pill and ear drop administration, managing multiple dogs with different diets, and of course dog walking and cat litter box changing. From now until January 11th I am out of school and do not have any work making my schedule very free. Starting Jan 12th I will be taking college courses Mondays and Wednesdays almost all day so I will be unavailable then but I will be free on weekends and evenings during Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays. I promise to be attentive and caring towards your pet(s) whether that means playing, petting, or simply talking to them to make sure they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I will follow any and all instructions given to the best of my ability and be sure to give updates and ask questions if there is any uncertainty.

About: I've had and taken care of a dog since I was 7 years old. Dogs were always a part of our family life. In my family and friend group I am the go-to person for pet sitting and puppy walks. I recently participated with a trainer from Ultimate K9 training in Southern Maryland with my own pup Russel who passed with flying colors and both he and I learned many new skills and tricks. Working with dogs is one of the loves of my life. I typically work a 7-5 shift at my day job but do have some flexibility during the day that I can use for a pup break. Evenings I am consistently available after 5pm. Weekend work is not a problem and I am open to helping support your much needed getaway. Love is always the first ingredient but of course we respect puppy boundaries as set by the puppy parents or how comfortable the pup is until they feel comfortable. Meals are fed to pups at the same time to make sure they are not feeling favoritism. Belly rubs and play time are also important for bonding and trust. I will send images of pets daily if the pet parent would like. Just let me know.

“Vanessa always does a phenomenal job with our dogs! She is a true mvp when we have to go out of town. I am always so relaxed when i leave my dogs with her because i know she takes care of them and loves them in the same ways we do. They love spending time with her and we're glad she loves spending time with them too.”
