Dog Sitting Sherwood

“We are so glad to have found Marwa to help take care of our pup during the day. She is truly passionate, caring, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is constantly going above and beyond to help Lolli become more comfortable and confident with her. Marwa is lovely, and we felt an immediate connection with her (maybe not Lolli quite yet!). I feel completely at ease having her enter our home and provide such extraordinary care for Lolli. Her patience, dedication, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”

About: I have a family dog, who I love! And also I have my own furry Labradoodle! I can walk your dog, feed them, and spend time playing with them and give them all the attention they deserve!! I am responsible and caring. I will care for your dog as if it is my own! I am currently home during the week and available. I am able to provide any needs that your dog may need. We are able to spend time outside playing and go on walks. I always make sure the dogs are always safe in my home. Any dangerous items are properly stored and secured away from the animals. When it’s time to play out side or go on a walk, I always make sure their leases are secured.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I started dog walking and pet sitting in middle school and have continued ever since. In high school, I interned at a veterinary office, where I gained experience working with animals in a medical setting, and during college I worked at a dog daycare caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with pets that have different routines, energy levels, and care requirements, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in graduate school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my days around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and overnight care to make sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency. I have availability during weekdays, evenings, and many weekends, and I split my time between the Baltimore County/Hunt Valley area and Ocean City, which gives me flexibility to accommodate a variety of clients and schedules. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and is a great balance alongside school. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I always follow routines closely, pay attention to their needs, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also love sending updates and photos so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away.

“Mina was caring and attentive to Otto, making us feel comfortable being away. She sent pictures of Otto from her visits. She did everything we requested to care for our cat and our house in our absence. I would feel completely comfortable hiring her again during our travel!”

“Alicia was able to take care of our dogs with short notice and we were appreciative of that. She was communicative, and very friendly with the pups even not having been able to meet them prior to caring for them.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand the care, attention, and patience they need to stay happy and healthy. Through caring for my own dogs over the years, I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and recognizing when a dog may need extra attention or care. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment while your pet is in my care. I will treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. As a teacher on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's care. I enjoy being active and love taking dogs on long walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I will work to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet's individual needs and routines. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and, with owner permission, can take friendly and social dogs to local dog parks for additional exercise and enrichment. I will provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you're away.

“Rachel is wonderful! She accommodated my request for booking with minimal advance notice. She sent me great feedback and photos of her visits with my pets and I could tell when I got home that they got lots of love and attention. She alleviated all of my anxiety/guilt leaving my pets at home. I will absolutely request her next time I need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone in need of drop in services!”

About: Hi, I’m Laura! I grew up with dogs and have recently come to love cats too (unfortunately due to my apartment building’s no-dog policy) I work from home and can often be available on short notice if you’re nearby. I genuinely enjoy the fun, good-natured company pets bring and am looking to build lasting relationships with both Doggies and Kitties and you! Their most important person. I’m open to all types of care - drop bys, walks, sitting - as I grow on Rover. Fun fact: I’m great at belly rubs and scooping poop like a pro 😊 I work full-time from home. Since I am new to Rover I am still figuring out my routine availability. Please ask for what you need and I am happy to talk it through to see how I can help. As a Mom I completely understand the importance of routine to keep your pet happy and healthy. Your rules are my rules! I would like to extend your care even when you can’t be there.

About: Since the age of 16 I have happily taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies, and other creatures for neighbors and friends. My natural ability to connect with animals coupled with my meticulous care and attention to their specific feeding, walking, and medicine schedules make me a great animal caretaker. I am currently only working part time, so I am available to walk and pet sit on both weekdays and weekends from morning until evening. My work shifts are only in the afternoons twice a week. I am a responsible guest who is willing to accommodate clients’ specific wants and needs im regards to pet sitting, whether it be for quick dog walks or longer stays. If your pet needs to be crated while alone, I am more than happy to accommodate. If they are not allowed in certain rooms or on certain pieces of furniture, I will make note of that. If they are allowed to roam wherever, I am also happy to allow that! Additional, I respect guests’ privacy and treat their homes with the utmost care and respect while pet sitting.

“Curtis was a great caretaker for our two cats: Dropped by everyday, administered pills, changed food, water, and litter in addition to play time! Heavily recommend, he's a great sitter!”

About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 8 years and pet owner of 20+ years who is highly experienced in animal care and petsitting. As a cat, horse, and previous dog owner myself I understand that our pets are our family! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I work part time hours and am off weekends and holidays. I’m happy to spend my free time playing, walking, and spending time with your pet! While at work crates, gates, or free roam can be used depending on your pets needs and comfort. Pets will be monitored through pet cams during working hours. While in my home pets can have free roam or access to a crate depending on their needs and comfort. For walks I utilize harnesses and if needed can add a back up slip lead if owner feels more comfortable to ensure safety. Pets will always have access to fresh water and toys and will be well loved while in my care!

“Annie was very responsive and professional. Our girl is very shy and cautious, but annie seemed to have a special touch and convince her that she was safe.”

About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.

“As a first time puppy owner, finding the right person to watch your fur baby is nerve wrecking. Riley was amazing!! She provided in-home daycare for our pup and kept up with his routine. She sent pics and videos of him and he seemed so happy. I’ll definitely be booking her again to watch or furry friend.”

“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was 12. I currently work at The Diggs at Paws and Claws. I have experience with overnight sitting in peoples homes, regular sitting, walking,etc. I love taking care of any animal it’s always been my favorite job. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am able to do most hours for sitting. I can switch my schedule around to fit others. My neighborhood is very safe and secure. I have a nice backyard and park next door to my house. I will always make sure your pet is taken care of.

About: My family has had 2 dogs since I was 6 years old and our current dog is a 6 year old Portuguese water dog, my best friend! I have grown up with pets and have been dog sitting for many of my neighbors at home since I was 12 years old. I have experience with both puppies and elderly dogs and I love any size and breed! I look forward to getting my dog-fix meeting your dogs! I am a recent graduate at CU and I'll be in Boulder for the next few months before I head home! I don't have any jobs so I'm available almost all the time! I live in a house in the top unit (accessible my stairs) with one other girl! I'm happy to house your dog here or stay at you're home as well!

About: Having 3 dogs of my own, taking care of pets is almost second nature to me. One is 12 with health issues and the other two are hyper doodles. I bathe them, walk, feed and give medication as needed. They are like my children. I've done the same for friends and family's dogs while they've traveled or worked extended hours. I have driven many miles to help my family and friends with their dogs. I am college student, so my hours are very flexible. My classes are mostly online, so I am very flexible with my schedule and will do my absolute best to work my clients in! I am a very gentle guy who provide love and care for all pets. I respect all client's property and make sure everything is left where it was when I leave.

“Emma is so conscious of my dogs needs and has taken the time to get to know him. He absolutely adores her and I have peace of mind when I’m away!”

About: I've cared for dogs my entire life as an owner. Ive had small dogs, terriers, and their strong will and playfulness to large dogs, ie German Shepard, and their willfulness and loyalty. I love them all and understand how to build trust with a pet. Ive also become a cat owner to tow boys bringing our home pack to 2 dogs and 2 cats. Currently I have a flexible schedule for drop ins during the day or evening. I am glad to feed them, play, and take out for breaks. Available any day except Sundays. Our home has invisible fence and our dogs are trained to remain in the years. We have also had fenced yards in the past. I can and do walk smaller dogs.
