Dog Sitting in Point of Rocks

“Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: We’re a dog-loving family with a dog of our own, and caring for animals is part of our everyday life. We treat every dog like one of ours, with attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. Your dog won’t just be supervised, they’ll be cared for and welcomed as part of our pack! We have a large, fully fenced, flat backyard ~ the perfect adventure space for your furbabies! With one of us working from home and the other a teacher, our home runs in a relaxed and organized way. Dogs get regular walks, outdoor time, play, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. We keep things predictable enough for dogs to feel comfortable, and flexible enough to meet their individual needs. We value your dog’s safety and comfort. Our home features a spacious fenced yard for fun play and exercise. We’re attentive to each dog’s needs, energy level, and boundaries, and we take time to ensure everyone feels comfortable. When caring for pets in their own homes, we respect their routine and space, keeping things familiar and stress-free.

About: Ever since I was little, I've been around animals. I have grown up with both cats and dogs alike. Neighbors in the past have trusted me to walk their dogs, and I have experience in petsitting and care. I have also volunteered at animal shelters since the age of 12, working in a hands-on training setting with dozens of cats and small animals. I'm a huge animal lover, and I haven't met a pet that I didn't like. Getting to work with animals more is my dream job, and I'm eager to get started! Note: I will only work in Point of Rocks for the time being due to transportation complications. I am working part time, mostly on the weekends, so hours may conflict occasionally. Please give me a heads up at least a day in advance and we should be able to work things out! I am willing and able to follow any special instructions and care you may have for your pets, whether it be crate training or giving a pet their daily medicine.

About: I currently work as a caretaker at a dog daycare center, where I care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and play styles every day. Whether your dog is super energetic, anxious, older, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m more than comfortable adapting to their needs. I’ve also worked as a farmhand, helping feed and care for animals like chickens and other livestock. I’ve also been around animals my whole life and currently care for a cat, an elderly black lab, and a young hound puppy. I’m a college student hoping to earn extra cash doing something I genuinely love! I treat every animal like one of my best friends and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Weekdays: Available after 1:30 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. Weekends: Usually fully available for walks, house sitting, overnight stays, and extended care. I’m a Dog Daycare worker during the weekdays, so my services may be limited to the afternoon + evenings from Monday-Friday. With dogs, I’m very patient and comfortable with all personalities, including high-energy, excitable, or anxious dogs. I focus on calm and respectful handling and try to help very anxious dogs feel safe by giving them space, approaching slowly, and using gentle reassurance like calm voice and light petting on their side when appropriate. I pay attention to body language and always aim to build trust rather than pressure them into an interaction. If a dog is acting out, I redirect their attention and follow any training or behavior instructions provided by the owner. With cats, I’m used to reading their behavior and giving them the space or attention they want. I understand that many cats are super independent and are protective about their space, but I also enjoy working with affectionate, social cats. I have experience caring for kittens, including feeding and basic hands-on care, as well as senior cats who may need routine medication or any extra attention.

“Hailey came through in a clutch! She took great care of my puppy and will definitely be utilizing her services in the future if she is available!”

“Sheila was fantastic, taking wonderful care of our sweet dogs while we went away to visit family. She arrived promptly and shared photos of each visit so we knew that they were happy and safe! We received a few packages while away and she brought even a really heavy one inside for us!!”

About: Hello, I'm Erin, a wife, mom, and proud pet owner in Point of Rocks, MD! I grew up with a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits. I currently have two rescue cats, Baby and George, and two birds, who are the joys of our family. I grew up petsitting for neighbors, and I have done a lot of volunteer work with the Humane Society. I also worked at Petsmart in college helping take care of pets for the groomers. One of the best jobs I've ever had! I love animals and will provide that love and care to your pets. No more worrying about your pets while you work or go on vacation! I'm semi-retired from my old job and I am currently available most days and times! I am very flexible and will let you know well in advance when I'll be unavailable. I will play with, feed, walk, and provide companionship for your pet in your home! I can currently take care of small dogs in my home as well.

“I hired Samantha through the Rover app for drop-in visits while I was out for work for 12 hours, and she did an amazing job. She arrived on time for every visit, made sure my girls were let out and cared for, and sent thoughtful updates each time, which really put my mind at ease. I was extremely nervous since I had never left my fur babies with a stranger before, but Sarah was wonderful and made the entire experience stress-free. I felt confident knowing they were in great hands. I will absolutely be hiring her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.”

About: Our family-owned company has been proudly providing professional pet care services for the past three years. With a lifelong passion for animals and personal experience caring for a variety of beloved pets, we treat every animal as part of our family. As my husband and I currently work from home, we have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I’ll ensure regular potty breaks and incorporate playtime throughout the day to keep them happy and active! We have a fully fenced 1-acre yard, providing a spacious and safe area for supervised outdoor play. Indoors, pups are free to be part of our day-to-day home life, relaxing on the couch, napping nearby, and spending time with us, so they truly feel at home. If needed, we can use baby gates to create separate areas to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Pups enjoy plenty of outdoor playtime, both in group settings and one-on-one, creating a fun, enriching, and safe environment for all. Daily Routine: Most of the day will include supervised outdoor playtime in our large, fully fenced yard. We spend much of our time outdoors, creating the perfect environment for pups to have fun, explore, and enjoy our assortment of ropes, tug toys, and tennis balls. During warmer weather, with your permission, we also set up puppy/dog pools and a splash pad for them to cool off and have extra fun. We accommodate dogs with different energy levels by rotating playtimes. High-energy pups can run and play to their hearts’ content, while those who prefer a quieter experience can enjoy exploring the yard or sniffing around in a calmer setting. This approach ensures every dog has a safe and enjoyable experience without feeling overwhelmed. Sleeping Arrangements: Our goal is to keep your pup as comfortable and close to their home routine as possible while ensuring a safe environment. If your dog is uncrated at home you can choose family style, where they will sleep with our pack or we can separate them with baby gates as needed. For crate-trained pups, we set up a crate in the kitchen for a comfortable environment! Time Spent with Your Dog: We’ll be home most of the time, giving your pup plenty of attention and care. On rare occasions, we may step out for an hour or two, but the majority of our time is spent ensuring your dog feels safe, loved, and entertained.

“Erin is fabulous! She loves animals and my two bengal cats took to her right away. She goes the extra mile to make sure they get whatever they need. I could enjoy our trip knowing Erin was taking care of our boys. Thanks Erin!”

“Christina is an awesome pet walker / sitter! She’s knowledgeable and makes sure she’s aware of any training that is an issue with your animal. We have a puppy that we needed walked in the middle of the day while we’re working. We needed a walker who was willing to get him some good exercise not just a leisurely walk. She’s also watched our puppy for an event we had a couple of hours offsite. She’s so good with our dog and we highly recommend her.”

“Kathryn took great care of our two cats last week, including one that needs to be medicated twice/day. She was very reliable and trustworthy, and stayed in constant communication with us throughout the week.”

“Bonnie took great care of my cat, Dora, while I was away! Having just moved to the area, it was time to start over with a new sitter and I’m very glad to have found Bonnie! She is a great communicator, sent me lots of pictures and texts, and asked questions as they arose. Dora is normally leery of new people, but it was clear from the pics that Dora connected and felt safe safe with her right away! Bonnie was also super flexible with me on a visit time, helping coordinate a package delivery that was accelerated to while I was gone. It was another stress relieved. Thanks for everything, Bonnie! We’ll be reserving again soon!”

Robin D.

“Becky is an amazing person, and our dog for sure gave her the run around. We will be keeping her in mind for our future needs. Thank you again so so much!”

About: Hey! My name is Meaghan I’ve been pet sitting for eleven years. I have experience in special needs pets, I had two special needs cats, one who was deaf and the other had brain damage. I’m currently working a part time sub job so my schedule is very flexible when it comes to pet sitting, as I already get to choose my days! I will not be able to provide any at home services as I have two dogs that unfortunately do not like to share their home!

About: I have always had a pet in my house since the day I was born. Mostly dogs, but I have also had other smaller pets. I now have one 12 year old chocolate lab and one 6 year old black lab that I take care of everyday. Because of this I have experience with puppies and older dogs, along with dealing with more than one pet at a time. I currently have school from 10:30-2:15 but I am free anytime before then and after that. I also am available almost every weekend if needed. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door to get outside and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I love to take my pets on walks or just play with them in the house or yard.

“Was available on very short notice and provide provided good care.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I can remember! When they say dogs are humans' best friend, they truly mean it! I cannot remember a time we did not have a pet in our home. I now own an amazing Bernedoodle of my own, who is an emotional support dog that went through 12 weeks of training! Being able to see a dog's tail wag or those cute little puppy's eyes they give you is one of the most fulfilling, adorable things. Being of service to people is my main calling in life, and being able to service your pet would be amazing, as I love creating new dog besties! I am currently unemployed and seeking a new full-time position. This market is not easy! With that said, my schedule is wide open! I am a volleyball coach at Frederick Community College, which takes up about 2 hours of my nights starting in late July! My weekends are mostly open. I am easy to schedule with; I need to ensure I have time to check my weekends! When it comes to allowing dogs to stay at my residence, my property manager does not allow it. With that said, I am more than willing to stay at any location needed, as I have a roommate who can watch my dog! I am willing to travel wherever needed. I have a very reliable car with plenty of backseat space, and I am willing to take the dog to another location if needed. I am very flexible and want to ensure you and your animal are happy and trusting of me!

“Rebooked with Sarah on short notice and I’m just so happy my sweet cat has a new friend to take care of him while I’m away. Thank you, Sarah!”

“Amazing!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lauren! She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared for our cat. We appreciated the updates and photos—it really put us at ease while we were away.😊 I’d absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter. 10/10!”
