Pet Sitting in Rock Hall

“Louise was a lifesaver for us with our new puppy. She was extremely reliable, always arriving when she said and provided great care for our puppy. I definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve had different types of dogs since I was young. I’ve trained dogs for all types of reasons. I’m a lover of all pups and can handle your dogs needs. I own a large property specifically for the environment, which is perfect for dogs. I look forward to meeting your doggie and returning a happy pup back to you. Please message for any details. I’m available on weekends and weeknights. I work full time M-F, so weekends are primarily open. While I can do many activities during the work week, I am gone about 8 hours for my primary job. Weeknights and weekends are available. I have a large property with plenty of room to roam. Chickens in the yard (in coop). I have a 6 year old pup of my own that is very docile, loves other animals and gets along with them easily, and is my number two. I don’t have a fence because my dog is perimeter trained. However, I can perimeter train your dog too or walk them on a leash if that is preferred. I plan to add a fence soon and will update this once I do.

“Marissa was incredibly professional! My cat was well taken care of during my 5 day business trip! Marissa followed all my instructions carefully and had immaculate attention to detail! My cat was very happy with her and not stressed when I returned home! Marissa was easy to communicate and work with! Absolutely would recommend her and I hope she will cat-sit for me in the future! She even accommodated me when I messed up meeting with her the first time! She’s the best.”

“Kristen took great care of our cats while we traveled. She provided detailed daily updates and timely communication to let us know that the kitties are doing well. We returned to find our cats safe, happy, well-fed, and everything nice and tidy. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Carrie took great care of our cats!”

About: I love pets of all kinds, shapes, and sizes. I accept all personalities coming from an owner of a very mischievous husky and a reactive senior pup. I have several years of dog walking and sitting in DC as well as working at veterinarian offices. I am also currently enrolled in nursing school so am no stranger to any medically necessary situations. I will always ensure to treat your pet like my own and make sure they grown to love me like their own! I currently work nights part time at UMMC as well as am enrolled full time in nursing school. Though that might sound like my schedule I’m jammed pack, I have plenty of breaks in between for your beloved pups! I also enjoy quality time outside and would love to have a fur friend to join me. I currently do not do pet sitting in home or out as I have a 3 year old toddler I simply cannot spend time away from and my senior pup is unfortunately dog reactive.

“Rose is beyond amazing! Highly recommend for extra special care.”

“I don’t think we can thank Maura enough for the help and care she provided for our boys!! She was able to come on a short notice, and our boys loved her from the first visit! She sent us lots of pictures and updates on each drop in which made us feel happy and confident in the care and love the dogs received!! Thank you again Maura!”

Andrea A.

“Ashley did a great job and kept us up to date on how the dogs were doing. She was very flexible to our needs and we will definitely book her again!”

About: I've had the privilege to care for many types of animals through my life. Caring for animals is my passion in life, and I will happily care for yours like they are my own. My private sitting is more cost effective than boarding you pets. If you have multiple pets I am willing to negotiate my fees to help you afford quality care for your pets. It causes them less stress being in their own home. They won't be around pets they don't know. There will be no chance of them catching an animal illness or be injured by another pet. I will only be caring for your pets so they will have all of my attention and affection the whole time you are away not divided among however many pets are being boarded during that time. I can also stay with them overnight so if anything happens they will not have to wait until someone arrives in the morning to check on them. I will keep your pets on whatever schedule you would like. Depending on your needs I will happily take them for walks, play with them, love them, and am comfortable giving meds. I have taken care of pets for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I also have experience with many types of animals, but will follow the instructions you give as you know what your pet needs more than anyone else. I will send photos and updates however often you would like to let you know how they are doing. Unlike leaving them at a boarding facility your pets will be the only ones I am caring for and will receive my full attention. I will also always have my phone on if you need to reach me about anything. I currently live with my husband, 4 dogs, 1 bird, and several hermit crabs. I work primarily on my computer and am home most of the day. My husband can care for our pets when I am not home so I can focus fully on caring for yours. If you need someone who can stay home all day with your pets while you're away, I can easily work remotely from your home. I may need to occasionally run errands, but unless discussed before hand, I will not be gone for more than 2 hours. I am currently unable to stay away from my home for more than 2 days as I have family obligations that are preventing me from staying longer. I should be able to return to longer overnight stays in the summer. I work remotely from home. This leaves me in a great position to work remotely from your home while caring for your pets. I also make my own schedule so if you just need me to stop by: to feed, play with, pet, walk, or just be there so they aren't alone all day, I will happily do that too. I will always listen to what you tell me your pet needs. For example if you have a fenced yard that you would like me to walk them in on a leash, I will do just that. I won't make assumptions about what is safe for your pet. You know them best and I will care for them in whatever way you want me to. Their health and safety is always my top priority.

About: My family got a Havanese when I was 14 years old and she just passed away February 2024. Recently, my partner and I got a Micro Bernadoodle puppy in June 2024. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk and take care of their pets since I was in high school! I am a teacher during the school year so I have all summer off! I am available most days for a walk or a quick stop-by. Currently, I have a puppy at home so I am very attentive when it comes to safety for your fur baby. When walking your pet, I can always bring my puppy with me for a friend if you want your dog to be socialized!

About: I’ve been dog walking and sitting for neighbors since I was 12 years old. I’ve dog sat multiple types of dogs. I’ve done dog walking, check-in & potty break visits, and I’ve stayed at a clients home for long periods of time (5+ days) to be with their pups. I’ve also been tasked with administering insulin shots to dogs before. And I have a lot of experience with dogs that have anxiety, whether with new people, thunderstorms, or anything else, as I have one myself and a long remaining client of mine does as well. I’ve always loved dogs, having grown up having 2 smaller dogs myself. I am hoping to do pet sitting as a new permanent business, so I will have nothing but time to look after your pets! I will schedule out days and time periods based on client necessity and to provide the optimal care for your pets. Because I have two dogs myself, one of which has severe people and other animal anxiety, which for the safety of your pets and mine means I am unable to bring any pets into my home as of current. However, I’ve stayed at the homes of clients before to be with their pups while they’re away. I feed them every morning and night or make sure the food bowl is full depending on how the client feeds their dogs. I give them any medicine or joint tablets that they need to be well. I let them out multiple times a day whenever they need it. And I try to play with and pet them as much as I can while I’m there so they don’t miss their humans too much. I will even take them on a walk if allowed.

“Our cats felt very comfortable with Michael, and so did we! He's reliable, kind, and respectful of animals, and also very intuitive with them. Their personalities are very different, but he gave Bagheera plenty of active play and made friends with the very shy Laska. We highly recommend Michael and will use him again. Great Rover cards, by the way!”

About: Hi there, my name is Rilo! I’ve always been told that I’m “the most animal loving person” folks have ever met. I’ve been caring for animals since I became a reptile and bird keeper at age 8! My philosophy with animals is this: they are all autonomous creatures who deserve to be treated as such! Not only do they deserve love and attention, but also respect for their boundaries and needs. I have experience training puppies, as well as caring for sick cats and administering medication. I am alert and a safety first mind when walking dogs, and truly believe that high quality of life for pets can be found in mental and physical stimulation, which is why walks and creative play are cornerstones in my approach! You can count on detailed updates and photos of your pets when they are in my care, as reliable communication is key! I currently work part time remotely, so I have 20-30 available hours a week (weekends included!) for pet care! I am available for long term gigs, as my PT job is quite flexible! Safety is the most important thing to me. Luckily, working on horse farms will teach you a lot about animal safety. Leashes out to be held with two hands, doors must be closed at all times, and never cross the street without looking twice! (My other line of work is child care, can you tell I care a lot about safety lol!)

About: From the moment I was born I’ve been a pet owner. In total, I’ve had 10 dogs and cats throughout my life (currently 3 cats and 1 dog). I’ve cared for pets of family friends and strangers alike. I’ve never met a dog or cat that didn’t soon become my friend. In college, I dog sat for local families over the holidays when I wasn’t able to go home. Caring for others’ pets helped me when I was missing my own. Now I’m continuing my education online at my own pace and have plenty of time and love to give to your pets! My availability is very flexible as my classes are asynchronous, therefore I can (and would love to) take care of your pets whenever you need me.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and have a total of eight pets at the moment. My personal pet is my cat Ross and he is my sunshine. I have 2 dogs, a Great Pyrenees and a Boston terrier pug mix. I am very loving towards all pets and on time with all feeding schedules. I am also aware of how important it is for animals to get their exercise so walking is very important to me. The weather is something I always keep in mind while taking dogs for a walk because of the different breeds, age and coats they may have. I am very good with routine so I will be excellent at keeping your pets routine in check. I am currently working part time as a barista at Barnes and Noble as well as going to school. I love spending my free time with animals and they bring joy in my life! I have a huge, fenced back yard that give my dogs plenty of space to play. We love to run around the back yard playing fetch as well as cuddling when we are inside.

About: I have loved animals since I was a little girl! I have many years of experience with dogs, cats and even small animals like hamsters, turtles and fish. I want to be there for you, and your furbaby so you can fully relax on that vacation you have been looking forward too! I am currently employee at Washington College with a pretty loose schedule! Being able to choose my hours and be able to work around yours is 100% a possibility that sets me apart! I live in an apartment with a fenced in backyard. I live in downtown chestertown which is open to all different types of walking opportunities and is a short walk to many fields at the college!

About: I have been born and raised to take care of any type of family member from the small lizard to largest dog to feathered friends and horses. I love all animals and I have family members of my own. Plus I have a little helper who isn't scared of anything and loves to help her momma as much as she can. I'm will to do what ever it takes to make sure everyone is a happy camper and provide the best care I can to keep your mind at ease knowing you family is in good hands. Feel free to ask me anything and if you have any special requests let me know I will do what I can to make it happen. I'll treat your kids as if they were my own. I'm currently employed part-time but I'm looking to get out of the retail business and starting my own pet sitting business where I can enjoy doing what I love. I currently live in a small apartment, so it ideal that I travel back and forth from my house to clients home. I have fur babies and a family of my own, hopefully when I get a home of my own I could introduce the doggy daycare and pet sitting at my home.

About: For my whole life, I have always been drawn to dogs. Every dog is so special to me and I treat every animal like they are my own. I have a 22 pound French Bulldog mix who is house-trained, crate-trained, and off-leash trained, and I am continuously working with him every day. I believe in mental stimulation and physical stimulation. I believe that every dog should feel loved and comfortable and live its best life! If your dog needs special treatment, their own space, certain foods, a heated blanket, whatever it is, I want your dog to feel like an addition to my family. I am comfortable giving medication. My dog has suffered from very extreme allergies which have led to medication in the form of oral and injections. I work full-time from home and can offer a very flexible but reliable schedule. I believe consistency is how dogs thrive. I will work hard to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable, despite the potential changes in their environment or schedule. I have a very friendly little dog, about 22 pounds, that loves to play and loves big dogs. He is a tough guy so playing with bigger dogs is one of his favorite things to do, in addition to trying to run and keep up with them! I run my dog in the morning and evening for half an hour to an hour, depending on the weather. I am comfortable running dogs for longer and more frequently. I live in a one-bedroom apartment that has an open-style living room but we spend a lot of our time outside in parks and around the woods next to our apartment complex. My sister has two long leashes (50 ft and 100 ft) that she uses for her two large working dogs and I am more than willing to buy a leash like that and go to a nearby field and run them. I will never put us in a position of danger, I am constantly in defensive mode: looking for cars that may not see us, looking for other dogs, looking for inattentive people and/or owners, and any other potential threats so that everyone stays safe. In your home, I will crate your dog if needed, walk to ensure they do their business and get stimulated, and ensure your directions are followed exclusively!

“Madison was awesome! I was in a pinch and she stepped with very short notice and took great care of koda! I was very pleased and will definitely be using Madison again in the future”
