House Sitting in South Mills

“Brittany is awesome and she is my new go to when I need my dog looked after. I recently moved to the area and have been looking for someone to look after my dog when I have to travel. She kept in constant communication with me; provided photos and videos daily; and even picked up an Easter gift for him.”

About: I have a wide range of experience in caring for 1-30+ dogs at a time. I’ve cared for numerous family and friends’ dogs, hunting dogs, and I’ve worked for two boarding/daycare businesses over the last 3 years. I have experience working with dogs who have seizures, and in administering a wide range of medications. I care for dogs and kids by appointment, so I’m very flexible! I’m currently working more during the week until August, then my schedule during the week will open up more! I can care for your doggo in your home so that they’re the most comfortable, and so they can stick to their routines! I’m happy to run around and play with them and take them for walks; I’m also very happy to be a couch potato with them! I really do care about your dogs and want to give them and you peace of mind when they’re in my care!

“Aliyah was great. We have a big old house with its quirks and lots of pets with even more quirks, and she took great care of everything! Pets were extremely happy and relaxed when we got home.”

“Angie was great! She came over to walk our dog a couple times to build trust with her, and she sent us lots of pictures and updates! We knew our puppies were in good hands with her!”

“If you want your pet(s) in the best hands, book Lyfrance! Lyfrance was communicative and punctual from the start. She was so kind and gentle with my 60 lb anxious pitbull. Saint was immediately comfortable with her, staring up at her for pets. I got pictures and thorough updates on how he was doing while I was away. My home was immaculate when I returned, my plants were watered, her linens were clean - she even folded a small load of laundry I had in the dryer 🤩 Saint was SO content and happy, like I never left. That is the true test. She took the time to hand write a thank you card and purchased Saint a small gift. Lyfrance, you’re a diamond in the rough, thank you so much for taking such good care of my babe and my home. 10/10 would recommend 🖤”

“Brianna and Jersey will always be my go-to when I need a pet sitter for my dog and cat. They’re always so well taken care of that I don’t ever have to worry while we’re gone!”

Holly K.

“Andrea is absolutely amazing! We have a fairly big farm with lots of different animals. She took great care of everyone and made sure they had everything they needed and more. We’ve already booked her for our next two trips away from the farm. Thank you, Andrea!”

“Gayla was such a pleasure to work with! Our dogs loved her, she sent us so many updates and pictures, and our house was left in perfect condition. We highly recommend her!!”

“Hannah did an amazing job with our dog, and we are so very grateful. After having a terrible experience with a past sitter, Hannah is a breath of fresh air! She took great care of our dog and was very communicative while we were gone. She also did a great job at our house. She is very clean and respectful. We would recommend her to anyone!”

About: == FULL TIME DOGGIE DAYCARE AND BOARDING! == Thank you for stopping by! Please read on to learn more about how we got started in the pet care business. == ABOUT US == We are a military family full of dog lovers (who isn't) and have been since we were children. This journey started after volunteering for a few months at a local humane society and wanting to spend more of our time with dogs. Since starting our Rover journey, we have been trusted with the privilege of caring for many of our friends' and family's dogs. With us, you can be sure that your dog will be in the hands of someone who enjoys dogs and their loving nature! == MEET AND GREETS == We personally do not require meet and greets but are more than willing to accomodate your request to have one, as we understand and value a mutually harmonious fit between all parties. Meet and greets will take place in the front yard and be limited to 10-15 minutes. Also, please know that we do not give tours due to liability reasons, however there are pictures on our profile to reference if needed. Our home is spacious, safe, secure and clean! PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Daycare rates cover up to 12 hours ( pricing can be adjusted for half days etc) Boarding rates covers 24 hours *If a daycare stay exceeds 12 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. **If a boarding stay exceeds 24 hours by more than 2 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. ***A convenience fee of $10 will be applied to any drop off or pick up prior to 7am. Please note that any photos and updates will be sent between the hours of 9am -9pm. If you have any further questions that were not answered here, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for reading and we hope to meet you and your best friend! == SCHEDULE == Our family is are full time dog sitters (spouse, mother in-law) and Eric still works his full time job in the military typically 8am-2pm. We are committed to have a dog loving and caring life while balancing our "weekends". We are typically able to accommodate changes in your schedule/needs to adjust pick up and drop off times. Please let us know as soon as possible about any adjustments needed. == DURING YOUR PUPS STAY == Upon a dog's first arrival, we strictly monitor their interactions with any other dog to be aware of any dynamics we need to be concerned about. We do not hesitate to separate dogs into different play areas if anything seems off. Our property is fully fenced on all sides, and we have gates to keep even the best escape artist pups safe. Dogs have full access to our entire downstairs which open up to a well-maintained fenced in yard. == FEEDING == During feeding time, your dog will fed in their crate or a play pen area to prevent food aggression and upset stomachs caused by consuming foreign dog food of other pups. == SLEEPING == Crate-trained dogs will sleep in crates (please specify if your dog is used to a certain size, as we have a wide variety of sizes available. Dogs who are not crate trained will sleep in a pen. Special accommodations can be made for dogs who are not able to do either of those. == WALKS == While it is our goal to make sure each dog get proper exercise and socialization, we do not provide walks during boarding due to liability and risk factors involved with walks (dogs escaping from harness, eating something off the side walk, coming into contact with an unfriendly dog, etc). We do, however give them plenty of outdoor time with the other dogs or solo to socialize and play, which we find is ample exercise for the pups that stay with us. REQUESTED INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PET Prior to dropping off, please fill out your dog's bio as much as possible. == THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DOG == -Is your pup sick and/or contagious? -Quirks or habits that would be helpful to know (humping, chewing on paws, separation anxiety, excessive barking, etc). -Current or past illnesses, injuries, or traumatic history/triggers. -If they are taking any medication or require any special care instructions. -Is your pup up to date on vaccinations and flea & tick medication. We understand vaccines are not bulletproof and that some illnesses may have an extended incubation period but we highly recommend the vaccines to create the safest experience. *Please know that we are unable to care for sick/contagious dogs. If your pup shows any signs of disease or illness, please let us know beforehand so we can make sure you receive a proper refund. If we discover that your pup is exhibiting obvious symptoms of disease with the first 12 hours with us, your dog will need to be picked up and no refund will be issued. I work 2-3 days a week. Spouse is a stay at home mother. One of us is always at home and available to give your fur baby all of the attention that they need! Trustworthy military member (20 yrs of active-duty service). We can provide care in our home or come to you. I also work as a full-time volunteer for Chesapeake Humane Society helping with dog care team and enrichment.

“Trez’Sheer did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were gone for two weeks. She made sure they got their meds and were fed and even watched TV with them on the bed and tucked them in as we requested at night. Our puppies are like family and Trez’Sheer treated them as such.. She sent us photos to reassure us that they were doing well, and when we returned home, the house was in good order and she had followed all directions.”

Berkeley G.

“Selma did a great job housesitting with our dog Bistro; he really loves her! She sent lots of pictures so I knew that Bistro was doing well while I was gone. We will definitely use Selma again.”

About: I have lived on a farm and taken care of multiple farm animals as well as watched peoples dogs of different sizes. I love to match the energy in the room and look to adapt to make the experience the most comfortable. I am currently flexible as I take gigs one at a time. I will prioritize this job to make sure each animal has the best care. I will listen to instructions and take care of your pet wherever needed. I am aware of fences, doors, and other infrastructure necessary to keep animals safe.

About: With a lifelong dedication to high quality pet care in an upscale horse ranch. Fenced doggie parks on our ranch depending size and needs of your dog. Pictures and videos every day. I excel with dog all ages including puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with medical care or special needs, kittens, and farm animals of all ages. Our idyllic farm, abundant space, and love ensure optimal care for every creature great or small. I am a cancer survivor and decided to have a lifestyle change to do what we love to do most: Taking care of animals and moved from the city to the country. It was the best decision of our lives. Working with dogs / furry pets is not a job but passion for us. It’s very therapeutic for us to spend our days in the nature with the most beautiful creatures in the world. I just love what I do and take pride in how I feel and speak their language and understand their phycology. I work from home and there’s almost always someone is in the house. My house is dog proof for them to roam around all day which usually they follow us everywhere. Dog paradise retreat not a regular dog sitting. Animals are my passion. I work full-time for taking care of animals from home and caring for animals is my lifestyle. I provide all needs including medication, water, walks, and tender, love and care. Our property is a pet retreat. This is not a regular dog sitting place. I created safe fenced doggie parks on our horse ranch to provide the ultimate fun and comfort for pets to not to experience separation anxiety from their furry parents. Our house is pet/child proof. I am dedicated to give the best environment of love and joy to animals they deserve. This is a passion for me. Tidy Setup: Fenced areas for dogs to run. Imagine our ranch/farm is a doggy sized park: Three different sized playgrounds for different sized dogs to ensure their safety and comfortability. This includes a private space with an indoor barn, play area, and fenced pen. Indoors, two small, friendly therapy and service dogs reside with lots of room to roam.

About: I’ve lived around dogs(all types of breeds and temperaments) for over 35+ years. Family and friends have relied on me to watch their fur babies. I currently work full time, but I am home by 3:30 every day. Weekends are wide open. I pride myself on being flexible and responsible. I’ve cared for a variety of pets : hamsters, rabbits, cats, dogs, and even horses. I take care of your four legged children while you are busy with life. Rest assured they will be loved in your absence.
