Pet Sitting in San Mar

“Where do I even begin?! Mandi was an exceptional sitter and provided such a source of comfort while we were away, despite several “hiccups.” Our greyhound Ziggy got into a large bag of pill pockets which made him really sick. At one point, he became so irritable and blocked Mandi from getting back inside the house! But she remained so patient with him and tried lots of solutions until finally he calmed down. She never once made us feel bad and was so willing to help. Ziggy had several accidents in the house due to his upset stomach and anxiety from fireworks, and Mandi cleaned everything up with no complaint. She even made a special trip to the vet to pick up meds for him, and prepared him a bland diet of cooked chicken and rice! Last but not least - we have the worst luck - our refrigerator died and Mandi cleaned out as much of the spoiled food as she could. This could have been the worse vacation considering everything but Mandi was a true professional and helped us relax without having to worry too much about Ziggy’s care. We will definitely be reaching out in the future (if we haven’t scared her off lol!).”

“I have an asthmatic cat as well as fosters from the Humane Society. Gaye was friendly, responsible and loving to my animals. I had a feral mom and 2 six week old kittens in my attic which made for a less than easy job. Gaye sent me pictures and communication on a daily basis and made sure my kitties were loved in my absence. Highly recommend.”

“Robin was awesome! She gave detailed updates with pictures and made us feel great about our cat being happy and well while we were away. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Oh my goodness! Katherine took such great care of Dinah, 5 stars are not enough! She took pictures every day, played with her and just went above and beyond. Dinah frequently goes on a hunger strike when I'm gone, even if my husband is home. Well Katherine must have the magic touch, because Dinah actually ate! I highly recommend Katherine!”

“Wonderful visits for my cats on short notice. Sarah cared for my fur babies when I was away and my cats were happy when I got home the day after her visits.”

“Kelly is amazing and my GSD King loves her. She is timely and flexible and gives the best love to my main man. I receive pictures of her visit and that makes me happy. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly with your fur baby.”

“Cari was a life saver and booked my babies a day before! I am so thankful she was able to give them a potty break on such short notice. She did amazing with our two dogs and one foster who can be shy of people. 100% recommend. Thank you Cari!”

About: I've taken care of pets professionally since I was college-aged, worked in 2 kennels with additional care given via baths, nail trims, etc. Have also owned dogs and cats all throughout my life. Comfortable with all sizes. I work from home, so I'm available all day to take care of your pet! I have a 1 year old black Labrador who is so sweet and loves to play, so hopefully they can wear each other out! I have a fenced yard and a black Lab that is very sweet and friendly to keep your pet company! She's probably more excited to see them than I am! You can expect frequent potty breaks, administered medicine I'd needed, and lots of playing!

“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”

About: I am reliable, loving, and attentive, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while their owners are away. I feel pets are part of the family and I do allow them on my furniture and give lots of snuggles and kisses. I have over 26 years of experience raising my own pets to identify sickness and can administer meds (including insulin shots) if needed. Your fur babies will be my top priority and I promise to care for them like they are my own. I am available for watching your fur baby in my home to include overnight or coming to your house (not overnight), walks, or other care you may need. My schedule is flexible and will accommodate your needs. I have a privacy fenced yard and 4 sweet pups of my own to keep your dog(s) company. My property has multiple video cameras for security and I can send you photos and videos while you are away or FaceTime with you so you can see your babies are having fun and being well taken care of and loved. I understand pet care very well as I have had 8 fur babies previous to the 4 I have currently from big dogs to little dogs. I am very aware of changes in behavior or if fur babies aren’t feeling well and will communicate with you if I think your baby is not feeling well.

About: Hi I’m Kate! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life! Dogs, Cats, Birds, Reptiles, Ferrets, Rabbits, Hamsters, Chickens, and Goats! My childhood dog was a toy poodle and now I have 2 German shepherds! All raised from pups. I’m comfortable working with all pet animals size or age doesn’t matter I love em! Im currently in college studying sports medicine, im hoping this can become a part time job for me! I am available Monday-Friday anywhere from 8am to 3pm. Your fur baby has my best interests! Whether we’re on a walk or just checking in, I’ve worked with harnesses and collars. My animals are my life and I 100% understand that they’re your’s too!

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.

About: I grew up with dogs and have trained up two puppies in the last five years, one of them was a hunting dog. Currently I have a four-year-old tabby named Coco! I love to be active and play outside but I’m also happy to just sit and love on your fur babies, throw around toys or whatever makes your animals happy! I typically work Monday through Thursday until about 3 PM. I’m happy to do evening care if you’re working late or if you need someone for a long weekend to pop in! I am a big fan of the philosophy, meet people or in this case pets where they are. I pride myself on being respectful, and will essentially do whatever is asked of me, to make your animal or fur baby the most comfortable!

“Tiffany was super friendly and took great care of my dog while I was at work. I really appreciated the updates, pictures, and the peace of mind knowing my pup got some fresh air and attention during the day. Will definitely be booking again—highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs all my life, from German Shepherds, Cocker Spaniels, and now Golden Retrievers. Nine years ago I decided to foster and do home visits for a rescue. I ensure they get vetted, groomed, and work with any behavior issues from being abused or neglected. I have plenty of patience and make sure above all else, they know they are safe and loved. That is all our fur babies want is to be safe, loved, and taken care of and the unconditional love you get in return is simply amazing. Let me take care of your fur baby and I know you will be glad you did. I’m retired now and just want to do what I love, taken care of fur babies. I can help you anytime, just let me know what you need. I have a fenced in yard, and two friendly Goldens at home that get along with everyone. I can crate your dog if needed or they can have run of the house with mine. We have plenty of toys from ones to chew on, to several to play ball or frisbee outside. It doesn’t matter the age of your pet, I have had and adopted several older dogs, I love them all and they will get the best care. I have farm land in front of me to take them for walks if you would like that as well. Your pets will be well taken care of and safe.

“Stephanie has sat for my 2 cats twice now. She does a great job of updating me daily on how my boys are doing. Went above my expectations when my younger cat who has been having digestive issues left some “presents” on a rug. She cleaned up the bulk and washed the rug for me which I was very appreciative for.”

“Yolanda was absolutely wonderful. We had an unexpected event and had to put one of our dogs down right before we left. We were so worried about leaving our other dog alone with without the other one. When we told her about this and Yolanda made sure that our little girl was taking care off. She went over and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable. I can tell that our dog Mixie had the best time. Highly recommend Yolanda she’s the absolute best.”

Alexandra M.

“Leah was a great cat-sitter! Very easy to work with, she made fast-friends with our cat, sent us reassuring updates each day, even a picture of his litter box (as only a pet owner would appreciate!) We felt very good being away while knowing that she was taking care of our little bundle of furry fun. I will definitely be using Leah again in the future! Thank you Leah!!!”

About: I have had cats in my family for about thirteen years and I’ve had a dog for seven.

As far as grooming goes, I have experience clipping claws and brushing the dreaded double coats. What sets me a part from the average sitter is I’ll do my best to make sure your pet enjoys its time with me. I will do my best to learn their personalities, likes, and dislikes. I’m also able to provided any medications as needed! If you as owners are gone for an extend period of time it can be stressful for pets, I do my best to ease any potential stress they may have. I work as a Personal Trainer as well, so I availablity throughout the day based off my clients schedules. Especially during those early afternoon times when let’s haven’t been walked since morning. I would treat my clients pets the way my clients would treat them. Adhering to any special instructions and making sure the pets are healthy and happy. I own my own business and am able to check/take care of your pup during the day. They will never be left alone more than a few hours to help reduce boredom and stress I am building a fence here soon and am able to provide your dog with walks, fetches, and hikes. I am able to adapt to your pets needs

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 14. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. I always take the time to get to know each dog's personality so I can give them the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's a long walk or quiet cuddle time, your dog’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I’m a recent college grad with 8 years of pet care experience. I love helping people and their pets feel at ease; whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I’m flexible, reliable, and here to keep your furry family happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! Whether in my home or yours, I always prioritize the safety and comfort of your pet. I will carefully follow any instructions left by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, and routines, to ensure the pet remains happy and stress-free.
