About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up with dogs taught me exactly how to read their body language and give them the care, attention, and love they deserve. I treat every furry guest just like my own, making sure they stay happy, active, and fully comfortable while you're away I’m currently working a full-time job, but I work remotely every other week which gives me some spare time and I’d love to use it to spend with some dogs. I do have two kids ages three and eight both love dogs. I don’t have any dogs in my own, but I plan to get one and then your future however I was in our home with four dogs at a time

About: I have lovingly looked after pets of all kinds my whole life. I will meet your pet exactly where they are-I can chase and play with your dog across the yard, or I can be extra gentle and caring with your senior pet. I'm a student online. I'm very lucky that my girlfriend has a job that pays really well. As a result, I have plenty of availability for pet care! I have a reliable vehicle to get to your home and look after your pet. I can handle great, big, tough pets as well as small, fragile, senior pets. I keep the area tidy for the pets and the owners alike. I'm great with toys and playtime. I am great company for any pet.

“We booked Rose when looking for a house sitter for one night at the last minute. Our dogs seemed to take to Rose very quickly and when we returned home it seemed like we hadn't left, which is exactly what we wanted! Rose was kind and professional and sent us multiple photos of our dogs during the trip. There were also no issues at all with our house as everything seemed just as it was when we left. Highly recommend!”

About: I provide loving care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors, with experience in training, special needs, and making every animal feel safe. As a retiree, my days revolve entirely around the animals in my care. They receive my full attention, love, and time—morning to night, every single day. I live in a safe, animal-friendly waterfront neighborhood with very few cars and plenty of space to play. Pets enjoy walks to nearby parks and, for water-loving “babies,” splashing adventures at the bay—all in a calm, welcoming environment where they’re treated like family.

“Leann and Lola came to stay and took great care of my pets. They were very responsive and sent great reports on the dogs. Also took great care of the house!”

About: I have 5 years of experience working at a kennel as a kennel technician. In this position I worked with all different breeds and ages of dogs. I learned how to take care of dogs with all sorts of health needs depending on their abilities and conditions. I have no problem with any dogs and I love working with them! I'm working a full time job but I am able to do overnight on weekends (thursday through Monday since I work from home sometimes) and I can yelp out throughout the week after normal work hours. I am comfortable with whatever specific needs your dog has. I have no problem crating a dog, walking a dog, hanging out, whatever is needed for your specific pet, I am willing and able to do.

About: I provide dependable, attentive care for both dogs and cats, making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m experienced with different personalities, from energetic and playful to calm or shy, and I adjust my care to fit their needs. I handle feeding, walks, litter cleaning, and playtime while sticking closely to your pet’s routine. I’m responsible, observant, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals, which helps me build trust quickly with every pet I meet. I’m available every day from 10am to 5pm, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care for your pets. I can easily fit into your pet’s routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins during the day. I’m dependable, flexible within those hours, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. priorities.

About: I have been walking and sitting dogs for over 20 years, starting at age 11 when I realized dogs just made sense to me. I have owned hounds my whole life and currently share my home with a spirited beagle/jack russell mix named Tate who keeps me well-practiced with high-energy breeds. I recently lost our beloved 11-year-old foxhound mix Juniper, a gentle 70-pound soul who reminded me daily why this work matters. I am a firm believer in Cesar Millan's calm, assertive approach to dog handling. Dogs respond to confident, consistent leadership, and I bring that to every walk and every stay. I am comfortable with all breeds, large and small, and experienced administering medications and hands-on therapy when needed. I work from home in central Annapolis, which means flexible scheduling and plenty of attention for your dog during the day. Your pup is a member of your family and I always treat them like a member of my own. I own a design firm that I run out of my home. My work varies as a creative from video work to graphic design and more but it all comes from my home office located right next to my dog's food and water bowls (my hound dog Tate is currently asleep at my feet- exactly where he loves to be, and right where I love to have him). My workdays typically start around 7am and I work through the early afternoon, occasionally in the evenings. Though I have a full office setup, I also have a laptop that travels with me during house/dog sitting sessions if I need to be away for an extended period of time. As my work is on the creative spectrum, I can always adapt my schedule to fit around yours (and your pup's). Whether it's daily walks or stays with your dog, you can rest assured that they will be looked after with love, care, and the attention they deserve. I live in an apartment in Annapolis so we don't have a fenced in yard. Instead, I take my boy out in the neighborhood on short and extended walks and in the community dog park. Sniff spots and local trails are always on our schedule as our dog is high-energy so he thrives on long walks with lots of smells. Depending on your dog's needs and routine, I'm happy to take them on long walks in and around your neighborhood and parks they're comfortable with, or just playing with them in your own backyard. I'm also open to taking them further out to nature hikes and trails as long as you're comfortable with that. I tend to have Blue Buffalo, Newman's Own, and Charlee Bear treats at the ready (but of course that's up to your discretion) for good dogs and I always adhere to any diet or medication requirements to ensure a happy and healthy experience. I treat your dog like I treat my own and I've always had a great experience with every breed and personality.

About: I have many years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked in animal shelters and have been working at Beechnut Kennels for the past 3 years, caring for pets daily through feeding, exercise, playgroups, cleaning, and monitoring their health and behavior. I also foster cats and kittens and have experience with shy, fearful, reactive, and feral animals. I’m comfortable administering medications and using Fear Free handling techniques to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I truly love animals and treat every pet in my care like they’re my own! I currently work part-time at Beechnut Kennels, which gives me flexibility to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. I understand the importance of consistency and will always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With years of experience working in shelters and at Beechnut Kennels, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I have experience using Fear Free handling techniques, administering oral medications, and caring for shy, fearful, and senior pets. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and instructions closely to help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and pictures during every visit.

About: As a proud dog mom to my own rescue pup, I know firsthand that dogs are more than just pets—they're family! 🐾❤️ I absolutely adore my dog and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family member. I have a genuine love for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! I also have hands-on experience volunteering at the Humane Society, where I walked and cared for dogs with a variety of temperaments, energy levels, and individual needs. In addition to providing everyday care, I have experience administering medications and giving injections, allowing me to confidently care for dogs who may require a little extra attention or have specific medical needs. I understand the importance of following instructions carefully, maintaining routines, and ensuring every pup receives safe, attentive, and compassionate care. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit filled with playtime and cuddles, or a comfortable home away from home while you're traveling, I'd love to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make each one feel safe, happy, and loved. My goal is simple: to treat every dog as if they were my own! I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and provide you with peace of mind knowing they're in loving, capable hands. 🐶💕 I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be present throughout the day to provide attentive, personalized care. My own dog gets exercise at least three times a day, whether that's going on walks, enjoying outdoor playtime, or participating in activities to keep her physically and mentally stimulated. Because I'm home throughout the day, I'm able to accommodate frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, medication needs, and plenty of companionship. I love keeping dogs active, happy, and engaged while also making sure they have time to relax and feel comfortable. Whether your pup is staying with me or needs walks or drop-in visits, I'll treat them like part of the family and make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give my own dog! My home is a welcoming, dog-friendly environment where your pup will be treated like part of the family! 🐾❤️ I have a spacious yard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, explore, and burn off energy. I also live in a beautiful waterfront neighborhood, which provides wonderful opportunities for scenic walks and even swimming for pups who enjoy the water (with owner permission and close supervision, of course!). I have a friendly, playful rescue dog of my own who absolutely loves meeting new dogs and making furry friends! She enjoys having a playmate, and I always prioritize safe, positive introductions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. Dogs are family in my home, which means they're more than welcome on the furniture for plenty of snuggles and relaxation! I want your pup to feel just as loved and comfortable as they do in their own home. Safety is always my top priority. I always feed dogs separately to prevent food-related conflicts, and I never leave dogs together unattended, regardless of how well they get along. I carefully supervise playtime, respect each dog's individual boundaries, and provide separate spaces when needed. Since I work from home, I'm able to offer plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. For walks and drop-in visits at your home, I make sure to follow your dog's established routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration, and any special instructions. I understand how important consistency is, especially when you're away! My goal is to provide a safe, fun, loving, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care while giving you complete peace of mind! 🐶💕

“Oh Myles! He is the absolute sweetest! He took care of my babies this weekend and was more than accommodating. Our girl is Leary of newer people and barked and growled at him when he entered our home. He took his time and didn’t give up and they became best buds. He was very respectful of our home and focused on the dogs to make them feel comfortable the entire time. Myles is the ONLY sitter who will watch my dogs when we travel. Welcome to the family!!”

“Bri is wonderful as always! She makes us feel so at ease when we travel. She takes amazing care of our pets and is very communicative. We will continue to always use her for a sitter when we travel.”

About: Promo Code for $40 off first time booking for Pet Owners that it is their first time using Rover- AMANDD61392 Friends and Family call me the animal whisperer. I have had a dog/dogs my whole life. I have taken care of dogs from brand new puppies, to babies that were at the end of their life. I'm currently not working full time away from home, so for any boardings that are on week days or weekends, you and your fur babies are good to go. I do have one small dog at home BUT, if you prefer your dogs to be alone while here, my dog is easily brought to his grandparents house:), which they are always happy about. I will update when my work schedule changes. I have a fenced yard (tall privacy wooden fence with sliding deadbolt), and can easily crate dogs if needed. Any animals would have free range of the house and the yard. Your babies are my babies while I am taking care of them.

About: Since I was young I was entrusted with the keys to several of my neighbors homes and took care of dogs, cats, and even fish. I have owned serveral dogs in my lifetime and enjoy taking care of cats as well as other pets! I understand that every pet is different and many have very specific needs, therefore, I am prepared to receive instruction and tailor my care to each pet accordingly to make sure everyone stays happy and healthy. I currently walk dogs and overnight sit for my neighbors and friends but would love to branch out these services for others as well! I currently do not have a full time job, I have an odd job schedule that would always prioritize your pets care above all else. i care for your home as if it is my own!, I am able to water the garden if requested, and i always take the trash out as i leave to assure you come back to a fresh smelling home. doors remain locked when i am not present on the premises, animals will not be left outside unsupervised.

About: Hi! My first gift as a baby was a white german shepherd named Pepper that I grew up with and I've been a dog owner ever since. Friends even brought me a stray found on campus at GWU, Wiggles. He was our house mascot. And I've owned and cared for dogs ever since. I started rescuing dogs in 2010 in Oakland. I found forever homes for 13 dogs. Your dog will be safe, made comfortable and well cared for by me. I'm happy to care for senior dogs or puppies and anyone in between. I am attentive. Responsive to them and focused to obey your instructions concerning your fur baby. I want them to be happy while you're away and I want you to be comfortable while they're in my care. Most of all, if anything happens, I know how to respond quickly. My 12yo Weimaraner Gideon passed away during the pandemic. I've been fostering. This just seems like another way for me to play with and care for a new dog until I get another one. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I'm a professional writer and program developer so my schedule is flexible which makes caring for your dog and its needs really easy. I am able to maintain whatever schedule you've established at home. Your pet will have full run of the house and will be encouraged to make themselves at home. Their crate and food/water will be set up in places where they can be seen and made comfortable.
