House Sitting in Port Republic

“Torrie was amazing with my dog, Boston, and made sure I got updates and pictures of their time together. Highly recommend and looking forward to our future bookings. ☺️”

“Shemoy was absolutely awesome with my boy. She visited him before the day and developed a good connection and interacted with him like she had known him forever. She was incredibly loving with him and I was more comfortable that I thought I would be for our first time away!”

Victoria V.

“Nikki was great with my dogs, as she always is. She communicates and sends pictures frequently. She leaves the house in great shape when she leaves. She's my top choice for house sitting when I'm away.”

Kathryn W.

“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 fantastic! We all know a “dog Mom” that doesn’t want to leave home because of her BABY!! (That’s me??‍♀️) Leah is patient and attentive, she went above and beyond for us on an extended stay. My dog, my home and my sanity were all in check with Leah. I can’t thank you enough, we will be booking again!”

About: I have several years of personal and professional pet care, but a lifetime of love for animals! I take humble pride in being the stranger that your critter who "never comes out to see anyone" is suddenly on my lap. I've cared for critters of all kinds, sizes and temperaments. Have any questions, shoot me a message! Looking forward to meeting you and your fuzzy or scaly loved ones. I am seeking to make this a 25-35 hrs/week gig with multiple clients. My availability is very flexible and open at this given time (June 2025). I commute between an apartment in downtown Hagerstown and St Mary's County (Wildewood) and care for my family's German shepherd (Freya) and teddy bear (Odin) about 1-2 days a month in W.V. Those dates are preplanned. I'm an early bird, up around 4:30-6 AM. I have a low maintenance mainecoon so she grazes all day and has plenty to do till I come home for my own kitty snuggles. I can only care for your pets on their turf or if you allow it, to take them to public parks. Both of my residences do not allow additional boarding. I personally wouldn't mind, but, rules are rule. I'm very adaptable and would love to keep any routine you have with your pets. From nicknames, babytalk, several walks a day, a bath etc... Write down your desired routine for Fido/Whiskers and I'll do my best to keep them entertained and comfortable until you're back home.

“Faith did a great job taking care of Pear and the house. Pear was well cared for, and everything was in good shape when we returned. I reached out a couple of times for updates, and she responded promptly. Overall, we appreciated her care and would happily consider working with her again!”

“Alex saved the day and the dogs were happy when we got home. She was great about communication and sent picks while we were gone. So nice to nt have to worry. Thanks see you soon.”

Nicole T.

“Ben was so wonderful! I’ve had people watch our dogs before, but Ben was by far the best. He was so communicative and told us everything that was going on. I got so many pictures of the girls, and even our fish! He checked in multiple times with updates, asked me to leave him a detailed list of all the things the girls usually do/need. He brought in the mail and packages for us, was very respectful of our home, and treated our dogs like they were his own. There’s no doubt in our minds that if we have to do this trip again, we will absolutely be asking Ben. I can’t recommend him enough!”

Ashley W.

“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.”

Carrie C.

“Kimberly was a life saver. She was very prompt for each visit, provided updates at each drop in, and followed our schedule perfectly. We felt that our old girl was in great hands and didn't have to worry about anything! Our old girl can't stay outside for too long due to health issues, but Kimberly sat and brushed her daily until she was settled.”

Angela S.

“Danielle was fabulous! Super responsive, provided great updates and even got our shy girl to warm up to her! We knew our two senior dogs were in good hands with her too. We will absolutely use her again!!”

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.

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.

I’m available whenever you need me. I can also send updates with photos so you know your pet is thriving while you’re away!

“Best sitter ever! Will definitely use Sarah again!”

“Susan, Larry, and all 6 of their dogs were just amazing, if I could give 10 stars I would. I am so happy to have found them and now consider them to be so much more than pet sitters, they are more like family now. They welcomed my 6-month-old Doberman puppy, Sefi, into their home and treated my little diva like she was one of their own. Sefi had so much fun during her stay with them. They sent me text updates, pictures, and videos of Sefi playing and playing and playing. I highly recommend them for anyone else looking for a pet sitter, with their 30+ years of experience with dogs, you can't go wrong.”

About: Throughout my life, I’ve cared for animals of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets. I often watch dogs for friends and family, which has given me experience taking care of pets for long periods and following their daily routines closely. I make sure they get everything they need—on time and with lots of love. I'm as available as possible to care for your dog. I work a small part-time job from 10 AM to 2 PM, but I'm free the rest of the day. I’d love to spend time with your dog—whether it’s playing, going for walks, or making sure they have everything they need. I take the time to learn your pet’s daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any special care they require. Sticking to their regular schedule helps ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for while you're away.
