“Jill has been watching my dog for a month and did a wonderful job! We did a meet and greet before she started watching my dog and I felt comfortable and Snowball loved you right from the beginning. If you need someone who you can trust and communicate with Jill is the person for your pet. I will be continuing her services for my pet. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!”
“Jess was wonderful. We have an 11 year old stubborn dog and she was great with him. She gave in-depth details every time she gave updates. Would definitely recommend Jess.”
About: I have experience with all-size pups. I grew up with dogs, and we had an amazingly well-mannered German Shepherd and 2 lovely cats. Sadly, they all passed away, and we are ready to love on your pets <3 I’m a housewife and graduate student. So, I’m always home with the pups! I am also a certified pet nutritionist, and I have experience working in a pet store. We send pictures, videos, and daily updates so you know how your fur baby is doing throughout the day :) My husband Kevin and I work as a team! I am always home and can easily care for your pup’s needs throughout the day! We can take walks, go out, and cuddle all day. For drop-in visits, my husband Kevin and I either visit together or either one of us goes to walk/check in on your baby :) We have a fenced in yard to get all the zoomies out and still go for walks for extra exercise and exploration. We only take one family at a time to ensure safety and maximum cuddles!
About: I currently have 3 dogs of my own and have been volunteering with a dog rescue for approximately 3 years. This involves walking various size dogs at various ages, training, handling at public events, and foster care. I also have some knowledge regarding medical care for basic issues. I currently work in an office setting so my availability is mainly Friday-Sunday and if needed after 6PM Monday-Thursday for a potty break or walk. I care for my three dogs in various ways based on their needs. I utilize crate training/treat reinforcement/basic commands and do my best to remove any negative habits where applicable.

They would enjoy the indoors and out doors. Nobody really uses the tennis court so it will be safe for your dog and they will enjoy being outdoors. I'll treat your dog and puppy like my own giving it love, attention and care.

“I am writing to recommend my friend Kailyn Gardner as a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter and dog walker. Having known her for eight years, I can confidently say that she is an exceptionally responsible and caring individual with a deep love for animals. Kailyn has two wonderful dogs of her own, and formerly cared for two cats as well. The way she provides for their pets—ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-exercised—shows a natural attentiveness and dedication that any pet owner would appreciate. Whether it’s taking her dogs for regular walks, managing feeding routines, or providing enrichment and affection, Kailyn consistently goes above and beyond. I’ve personally seen the bond she shares with animals and how quickly pets warm up to her. Her calm and nurturing demeanor, paired with real-life experience managing multiple pets at once, makes her a fantastic choice for anyone seeking reliable care for their furry family members. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, patient, and truly passionate about animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Kailyn as a pet sitter and dog walker. Your pets will be in excellent hands. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.”

Smithburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
This is the third time Jess has taken care of my senior and stubborn dog. She’s always on time and stays the full 1/2 hour. Jess also pivots when his stubborn side shows up and he puts on the brakes and doesn’t want to go on a walk. I will definitely have Jess take care of him again.
