House Sitting Silver Grove

“We've never been gone from our pets for two weeks before. When our usual pet sitter told us she was unavailable, we were hesitant in finding new ones for such a long trip. Alexia and Jay were incredible. They had the best attention to detail, care, and love for our animals as if they were their own. Day 1, one of our dogs hurt his back legs somehow and they took him to the ER for us just to be sure. Never a complaint once. It was all smooth sailing after that. We got so many pictures and videos multiple times a day. Very responsive and available for any and all questions. They even went above and beyond to reset the house a bit before we came home. They take this very seriously which made our trip much less stressful. Thank you so much! Can't wait to book you again.”

“We had an excellent experience with Julie over the Christmas weekend. She took wonderful care of both our dogs and cats and kept our home clean and well-maintained while we were away. One of our dogs was recovering from surgery and required special attention, and she handled his care with great diligence, including treating a hot spot on his paw. It was very reassuring to know our pets were in such capable and compassionate hands. We would absolutely recommend her to other pet owners and would happily book her again.”

About: Hello! My name is Marshall and I am a primary cat groomer as well as dog groomer. I am passionate about the care and comfort of pets and pet parents alike and I strive to create a welcoming, comfortable, and gentle environment. I am experienced in administering medications, senior care, as well as general basic training. Currently, I own 2 cats and 1 dog that I have raised since each were kittens/puppy! Pet care is incredibly important and I am passionate to work with pets! I currently work part time however, since I do create my own hours, I am incredibly flexible and can work with your needed care hours. My kitties have free rein of the house since they are older and are house broken. My puppy is only 9.5 months old and requires full supervision and is crated whenever she is unable to be supervised. We go out every 1-2 hours for walks, hikes multiple times a week, as well as designated training and play time daily. My goal is to create a strong bond with my babies as they are essentially my children. I treat all pet clients as if they were my own (very loved)

About: I’m a stay-at-home mom with over 13 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifelong love of animals. I currently have several regular clients and am opening up my availability to welcome a few new furry friends! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, whether that includes walks, meals, medications, playtime, or simply some extra company and attention while you’re away. My experience also goes beyond dogs and cats! I regularly work on a farm caring for horses and other large animals, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me a flexible schedule, and I love being able to spend part of my week caring for animals. I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets and your home, and I treat every animal I care for like I would my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of availability for drop-ins, walks, and recurring clients throughout the week. I currently care for several regular clients and am opening my schedule to take on a few more. On occasion, I may need to bring my son with me, but this would always be discussed and approved ahead of time. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and entering your home. I always follow each owner’s instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with crating, different feeding routines, leash walking, and administering oral medications. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“We appreciated that she spent time with our dogs and kept them company while we were away. It was clear they were being given attention, which meant a lot to us. However, there were a couple of concerns that are important to mention. We have cameras in our home, which she was made aware of in advance. While most were turned off, we left the front door and one camera in the dogs’ area on. At one point, one of our dogs had an accident in that room. The footage showed that it was seen multiple times but not addressed. I only became aware of the situation after receiving several notifications and had to reach out to ask that it be cleaned. This made me feel that it may have been left unattended otherwise. Additionally, we had left our house key in a lockbox on the door. While the key was placed back inside, the combination was not reset. Since we were out of town, this felt like a safety concern, as it left our home more accessible than we were comfortable with. That said, I’m still giving her 4 stars. I know she’s just starting out, and these are all things that can easily be improved with a bit more experience. Overall, we’re grateful for the care she showed our dogs and appreciate her help.”

“Our sweet Gimli was happy with Marilyn! She was very responsive and reliable. She shared happy photos of our dog! I appreciated finding our home just as we left it! I would recommend Marilyn for watching your pets!”

About: Hi there! My name is Anissa (Nis), I am a reliable, patient, loving, safety-first dog walker and animal sitter based in Frederick, MD and Martinsburg, WV. Whether your dog needs a brisk midday walk, a trip around the park, or your animals require an attentive drop-in visit, I’m here to help burn off that extra energy and provide peace of mind for you while I care for your best friend(s), as well as your home! As a current Dachshund mom of 2 anxious angels with very specific needs, a cat mom, and mom of many other babies that I loved before them, I am comfortable with all sizes/breeds, anxiety levels, specific/complex needs, and prioritize positive reinforcement, calm handling, and showing the same kindness that I would provide for my own animals. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies/ferrets/bunnies/other small furry friends to senior dogs needing slow strolls, patience, and joint care. When I care for your babies, you will receive a detailed report, and photos during/after every single outing, as well as anything else that would make you feel more comfortable while your children are in my care.

I'm currently working from home part time as well as doing this part time. My hours are flexible and I'm usually always able to adjust my schedule to accommodate to my rover clients schedule! I can provide care to both, long stays at clients residence or I can provide boarding services in my home!! Whatever is the best for the client and also for the pet parent as well! If im boarding I suggest bringing anything that is favorable, toy or bed, blanket ect its easier for them to get adjusted to the new environment if they have something familiar from home with them.

“Emelyn was great!! She house sat for our dog Freya for 6 days in May, responding to our last minute request for help. Emelyn met us and Freya at our home a couple days prior to our trip, and Freya took to her right away!! Emelyn was responsive to texts, sending us regular multiple-daily updates and photos, which we were super thankful for!!! We got home Friday night to a happy, cared-for pup and a very clean house! Thanks so much for everything Emelyn! Freya says hi and thank you, too!😊”

“Raquel watched our 13 year old dog overnight for our wedding weekend. She was kind on time and very flexible. With the frequent walks and picture updates our girl was in good hands. We look forward to working with her again and would highly recommend her hands down.”

“Ken took such good care of our boy Hamlet. He’s just such a natural around dogs and is funny to boot. Very jovial and attentive with a great sense of humor. He gave us updates for each time he checked in Hamlet on each day with a report on meal time, potty breaks, and play time. Also sent cute pictures! Ken clearly loves dogs and shows that in his care for them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.”

“Was gone for about 3 days. Jessica was able to provide me with a morning and afternoon report on how my pets were doing and sent me plenty of pictures. I was so grateful and was able to enjoy my trip knowing that they were in good hands. My 2 cats and pup were so comfortable with her. Definitely recommend and will rebook again!”

“Amber was great - she met with us last second ahead of the stay, just to ensure our dog was comfortable with her. When she did stay with Cocoa, she gave lots of updates and made sure she was good to go before leaving. Absolutely would hire again, thanks Amber!”

“Preston is THE REAL DEAL! He was quick to communicate about arrivals, walks, playtime and departures, let me know when things didn’t look right with my dog (and made recommendations and CLEANED UP!) and let me feel like all was well while I was away for the weekend. 10/10. Thankful to have been connected to a fantastic sitter for my handsome man, Saint. ❤️”
