Keaton, was so amazing and communicated often. They sent us great photos of our shy cat. Usually our cat doesn't come out but she was clearly in caring attentive hands.

About: I have many years working with all types of dogs of many ages! I have several years of experience pet sitting for family, friends, and clients and providing them with dog walking services as well. My experience as a volunteer at my local animal rescue has taught me how to handle dogs of all personalities with patience and safety. I am a very active person, and love to take dogs on long, engaging walks, but am also equally happy providing them calm, attentive care in the house as well. I promise to give your pet the same level of cimmitment and love I'd give my own! I am currently a graduate student and I work from home every day. My schedule is very flexible and I can likely accomodate to your pet's needs. I am available for pet sitting/dog walking every day of the week. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex and do not have a yard. However, given that I work from home, I am available to take your pet out multiple times throughout the day.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide attentive care for their pets. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a student and my schedule is pretty flexible, so I can usually make time for walks, drop ins, or boarding during the week and weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just someone to hang out with, I’ve got you covered! I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, and I’ll always keep you updated so you have peace of mind.

Carla was very thoughtful about how she looked after our beloved cats during an unexpected time away. She visitors ahead of time and asked good questions about their care, and was extremely flexible and responsive when our plans changed yet again. Highly recommend.

About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.

About: I have experience with both cats and dogs, mostly cats, but love both dearly. I have had pets in my house ever since I was a kid and enjoy their company greatly. Taking care of animals comes to me naturally and am excited to meet all types of pets. I am happy to help play and exercise your pets as needed and instructed :) I am currently a college student so I have many times where I am either in school or studying but I know for sure Tuesdays I am free. Other days I would need some sort of heads up to see if I can fit into my schedule. For instance Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays work for me if I have a couple of days notice ahead of time. I will be sure to follow thorough instructions when it comes to having to care for your pets in your house. I understand that having a space with pets can be a handful especially when gone so I will do everything in my power to make both parties comfortable!

About: I helped raise 3 dogs from puppyhood and cared for one senior dog and cat. The senior dog had major health problems, so I'm more than comfortable caring for pets with specific needs and health difficulties. I'm currently involved in volunteer work, and my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be available for the summer. Scheduling will be tailored around you and your pet's unique needs. As a pre-law student, I highly value and respect trust, safety, and boundaries. I promise to respect you, your home, and of course, your pet.

Lilla was great for visiting with my two pups! She was flexible and quick to respond when I needed a sitter due to unexpected trip to attend a funeral. She communicated well and provided me pictures of her visits. She even cleaned up after one of my pups when she got sick in the house. I’d recommend her and will use her again. Thank you, Lilla, and sorry about the pup mess!

About: I have had dogs my whole life, from taking in puppies to rescues, and there is nothing more important to me then providing them love. I am currently working part time, but can happily work my way around taking care of your dog. Mornings work best and afternoon on weekends. I will constantly take them on walks to get them some fresh air. Check up on their food and water. Provide any other services requested.

About: I also work providing arts education to kiddos in the public schools. Folks trust me to handle kindergartners -- you can trust me with your pets! During the summer, I work only mornings, so can devote all my other time to your pet. I love to take dogs out for walks! I'm very dependable, mature, and conscientious, and I love me some furbaby energy. Right now, I have only a cat, so staying at your place or dropping by frequently is no problem.
