Dog Sitting Shady Side

About: I can adapt to a pet’s mood/temperament and do the upmost to remain mindful of all their needs! I grew up helping my dad raise and breed beagles and I have cared for pets over 20 years whether they were my own or owned by family. I joined in 2024 when I lived in Kansas City, MO but ended up having zero time! So now that I’m back in Maryland, I’m ready to assist pets and their owners! 🩷 I am in school full-time so am mostly available on Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. Very occasionally, I can be available for pet care weekday evenings. I do not board pets as one of my cats is very anxious so I will have to go to client’s home to pet sit. Nevertheless, I will triple check that everything is in place and doors are locked prior to leaving a client’s home. For walking, I will triple check that leashes/harnesses are secure and I do not listen to music so I can be 100% aware of my surroundings and the needs of furbabies.

About: I truly adore cats and their unique personalities. I'm a retired empty nester, who is flexible, attentive, patient, affectionate, and I believe great cat care includes a fresh, spotless litter box every day. Your cat will get plenty of love, attention, and a comfortable environment giving you a peace of mind while you're away. Being retired gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets, providing attentive, dependable care without rushing or juggling another job. Whether in my home or yours, I follow each pet's normal routine, providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh water, clean spaces, play time and personalized care.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve personally owned 6 dogs and 1 cat, and I have over 10 years of pet-sitting experience. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide loving, attentive care while keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine. I follow feeding and medication instructions, provide walks and playtime, give plenty of affection, and keep their space clean and safe. I also make sure to communicate with owners and send updates so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Kadiata was great! I needed someone last minute and she was available and great at communicating. I would highly recommend!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have helped care for family members’ pets when needed. My experience includes caring for puppies who need extra supervision, as well as a senior dog who required medication. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to changes in a pet’s behavior and needs. I’m comfortable following your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and daily routines within my experience. I understand that every pet is different, and I want to make sure yours receives attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I enjoy having the opportunity to give pets extra attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m organized, dependable, and happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their usual routine while their favorite humans are away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special care your pet needs. I believe in providing plenty of love, patience, attention, and companionship while respecting each pet’s unique personality. Whether that means playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also love sending photo updates and messages so you can see how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. Your home, your pet’s routine, and your instructions will always be treated with care and respect. ❤️🐾

About: I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds! not just dogs and cats, but reptiles, rabbits, and many more! I treat every pet like my own, especially by adapting my care to their specific needs, routines, and personalities. I have a turtle and a dog so IM very used to showing love to these attention needing furballs! Everyone deserves a bit of love and I have plenty to go around! I can wash you dog up really nice even give them a trim. I have a dog and a big yard,(it’s not fenced). However, our dogs can keep each other company run around come inside eat snacks and even have cuddle time!

“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: All my life I have loved animals. I greet the pet before the human most times lol. Having had a family dog majority of my life, and now seeing all my siblings have their own pets (dogs & cats), I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to watch your pet, because pets are family! It brings me so much joy to spend time with animals and be able to provide them a safe space to play, explore, eat, sleep, and be loved on! Animals want to feel comfortable and safe just like humans do, and I am joining Rover so I can help provide this type of care for more loving pet owners 😊 If your dog stays with me we will: go on a minimum of 2 15-30 minute walks, have plenty of play time inside and outside, and be cuddled up on the couch enjoying each other's love. I will also send you plenty of pics with updates of how our time together is going! I want to give your pet the best experience while you are away so they feel okay with the unavoidable time apart. Let me rid you of pet parent anxiety & guilt. Trust that with me, your pet with be safe and have a great time 😊 I work remotely, so I have flexibility between the hours of 7am to 7pm to: pick up or drop off a pet, let a dog out to use the bathroom and get some fresh air, take a dog out on multiple walks and socialize them if their parent wants/allows that, be in the home whenever the pet wants attention and love, stimulate their brain by playing with them, and feed it breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I want to ensure a pet gets the most out of their day! I have been caring for animals most of my life, and I care for them as if they are my own pets. I make sure their needs (food, water, bed/sleeping area) are easily accessible and that I am available to them whenever they need. I have a fenced in yard and communal courtyard, making bathroom breaks and outdoor playtime/exploration easy! I also have an open living room and a long hallway making indoor playtime fun and doable! And I have windows that look out onto the street and nature to keep their mind busy on those days the weather isn't the best (and they may not want to be outside). When on walks, I am alert and ensure they are always close to me and in safe situations. I know all the safe foods & medicines cats and dogs can have, as well as the unsafe foods & meds, which I make sure are put away and/out of reach for the animal. I know when to be stern in my tone of voice to discipline a dog when necessary (e.g. out on a walk and they are pulling or I need to get their attention, if they have gotten into something that they shouldn't have, etc.). I want to always make sure the pet is safe from harm when with me. They are like children to me, and I will do anything to protect a child! In addition to ensuring the pets safety, I love to snuggle and give pets all throughout the day, providing the pet with lots of love and comfort. Making them happy makes me happy!

About: I’ve cared for pets for over 14 years, including my own and those of clients, friends, and family. As a professional organizer and mom, I bring structure, empathy, and reliability to every pet I care for. I’m especially attentive to routines, safety, and emotional wellbeing—whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior cat. I manage my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks, feedings, drop‑ins, boarding, extended stays, house sitting and any other combination that suit your scheduling needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or staying in yours, I prioritize consistency, communication, and routine so your pet feels safe and loved. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and I tailor my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. In my home, I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who enjoy company. If your dog is shy or reactive, that’s no problem — I have experience with all temperaments and can keep pets separate when needed. My home is clean, organized, and set up for comfort. I follow feeding and medication instructions precisely and keep pet parents updated with daily photos and messages. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I maintain your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer and treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I’m comfortable with multi‑dog households, anxious or storm‑sensitive pets, and dogs who need extra reassurance or structure. I keep your home tidy, manage small household tasks, and ensure your pet feels secure while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Bria, I’ve raised pups my entire life. I got my first puppy (all black cocker spaniel) on my first birthday and have been in love ever since. I loved her happily her for a long 15 years and have had the pleasure of raising a Bichon, Cockapoo, and now a lovely rescue baby who we think is a lab mix. I will soon be moving into a space where I will be able to house many more pets at once but until then I’ll be happy to care for your pup (or kitty!) while you tend to your life. I have taken all the classes/certificates necessary but I’d be happy to do anything else to make you more comfortable. Thank you for considering me!

My clients get to travel calmly, knowing their loved one is in safe hands. I am great with pets that require a lot of attention. I give them the love and affection they need to feel at home. I live in a house of animal lovers in a safe suburban neighborhood. It has dog parks and trails and lots of sidewalks. I also have a gated and decent-sized backyard for supervised potty breaks and playdates, so your pet will never be left alone. I am available any day to care for your fur baby.
