House Sitting in Port Republic

“We cannot say enough great things about Miranda. She took great care of our four dogs. She even took them to our pool to hang out while we were away. Our house looked great and our dogs were very happy. In the past, we've had issues with anxiety but this time absolutely no issues upon our return! Thank you Miranda - we hope to have you again real soon”

“Morgan was great with my 2 pups! He followed my instructions and went above and beyond to ensure my girls were well taken care of. I received daily updates and photos, which was great while I was out of the country. He brought in all my packages, bins and ensured I came home to a clean house. Highly recommend!”

“Starfire was amazing with our three dogs. Each has their little quirks but she handled them flawlessly. Our golden retriever pup (10 months old) is in her dinosaur stage but Starfire was able to contain her ? Definitely will book again. Thank you so much for taking great care of Groot, Spam & Ozrah.”

“Leah is great with my pups! They love her. She makes me comfortable by sharing pics, asking if she has any questions, and following my instructions.”

“Benjamin exceeded our expectations. With three senior dogs, we were worried about leaving them with just anyone, but once we met Benjamin we knew they’d be in good hands. He stayed in constant communication throughout his visit, which also put us at ease. We look forward to using him again.”

About: Hello! I have been housesitting for about 5 years now for horses, dogs, cats, and more. I have experience in first aid and medication administering if needed. As well as spending my youth in 4-H and working in animal based settings, I am very knowledgeable of proper care. I strive to bring a positive energy around all animals I’m currently working part time, and I am in college part time as well. I am happy to work around both our schedules as I can be flexible! Any time spent with animals is time well spent for me! I am happy to continue whatever schedule/habits you like to keep your pets on while you’re away. I have learned so much about proper care over the years, and I will ensure your pet is happy and healthy!

“Meghan communicated wonderfully and was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs. I would recommend her to others, and we would love to have her look after our pets again!”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I stand out as a pet sitter due to my ability to also look after my clients’ plants/garden from time-to-time. My lifelong passion for animals includes providing special care for young and senior dogs, ensuring their health and happiness. My current schedule varies, but I typically work 7-hour shifts on Sundays and Mondays. On the these dates, I can manage pet care for all dogs that have a wait period to be let out 4-8 hrs. If necessary, I have the flexibility to call off work to ensure your pets are well taken care of. From Tuesday to Saturday, I have open availability, allowing me to dedicate ample time to pet care activities, such as walks, feeding, and playtime. This arrangement helps me balance work commitments while ensuring your pets receiving the attention and care they need. In caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I ensure to follow detailed instructions provided by the client to meet the specific needs of their dog. For instance, if a dog is anxious during thunderstorms, I am proactive in reaching out via call or text to discuss calming strategies. Additionally, I always clarify any boundaries regarding what I can handle or access in the home and to build a stronger rapport, I will arrange pre-sitting meetings with clients to better understand their preferences and to bond with their dog(s).

“Callie was wonderful! I left my pup for the first time and knowing he was with Callie put my mind at ease! She sent frequent photos and was very responsive. Would 100% trust her with my dog again and recommend to anyone needing a sitter or walker!”

About: I have been told that I am very patient when it comes to pets. I let them come to me and if they don’t want to I don’t force them. I am very careful to make sure the pets are happy and can get to know and love any pet. My life can fluctuate from busy to free depending on the time of year, but I always make time for my pets. It makes me happy to see them and take care of them on a daily and weekly basis. To care for pets, I make sure that they are ok and give them food and water first. Then I give them all the attention they need and make sure they are happy. I don’t just check in and leave, I like to spend time with them so they aren’t lonely.

“Best sitter I’ve ever had. The dogs love her. She takes time to play and love on them. I recently lost my husband and she talked to me about one dog displaying severe session. Absolutely the BEST!”

“Liz was wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure our timid dog was comfortable and that we knew she was cared for. I definitely recommend Liz as a dog sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old and have been around almost every breed. Have also delt with dogs with anxiety and a newborn pups. I work part time and have plenty of time to take care and love on your pup, and let them have the best time and exercise. I have a fenced in yard , and lovable playful pup of my own. I can crate dog or dogs if needed. Make sure they are fed given water ( medicine if needed) . Love going on walks .

About: I’ve cared for family dogs and cats since I was 10, including fostering three puppies while in high school (our last foster became a forever family member!). Growing up with a mom who worked as a veterinary technician gave me extra knowledge about pet health and safety. I feel confident caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors, and always follow their routines so they feel safe and loved. Pet care is my priority and fits easily into my daily routine, since I’m not balancing another job. I approach animals as companions and equals, respecting their needs, energy, and autonomy. Whether it’s walks, play, or quiet company, I’m present and adaptable to what makes each pet happiest. In a client’s home, I treat pets and their space with respect, keeping their routines consistent and stress-free. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel secure and loved. Because I value animals as individuals, I earn their trust gently and let them set the pace for connection.

“I have nothing but good things to say. Took care of my Atti like she was family. She will be so happy to go back in a couple weeks to play with Blaze again!”

About: I have been around all types of animals since I was born. Dogs, cats, hamsters, you name it and I have probably taken care of it. I have personal and professional experience with animals as I have been a kennel assistant in the past where I was trained in cpr and administering medication. My pets retest that knowledge everyday with their medication schedule! I have taken care of family members, neighbors, and friends animals and would love to take care of yours! Fortunately I am not the breadwinner in my household so I am always available for your pets needs! No weather is too hot or too cold for me to get out there! Whatever works for you will work for me! I know everyone has a different method of madness so you can just fill me in and I promise they wont even notice the difference!

About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have a lot of experience taking care of them. We are huge dog lovers in my house, so no dog is too big or too small. I volunteered at the Humane Society for about two years in high school. I would visit on Tuesdays and Thursdays to help clean the kennels, walk dogs, wash dogs, have play time with them in the office, as well as participate in adoption events. Lastly, I do have experience pet-sitting for multiple families and have two dogs of my own. I would love to be able to watch over your furry friends or take them on walks whenever needed, so that’s why I provide such a flexible schedule! I graduated from the University of Tennessee in May and now work from home running my marketing business, Lawson Marketing. I have plenty of time throughout the day to stop by for visits or to take dogs on walks, especially since I have a puppy of my own that needs to go out frequently. My services include drop-in visits as well as dog walking. I want to cater to each family's and their pet’s unique needs, so I strive to provide special care for each and every dog. I will prioritize their well-being by following any routines as well as adhering to any special needs. Another big factor that I will prioritize is communication. I want every family to know that their fur babies are in great hands!
