House Sitting in Sunderland

“Morgan took great care of our two 100+ lb mastiffs and elderly 5lb cat over the July 4th weekend. The house was left in perfect shape. The animals were happy, minimally stressed even after a night of fireworks, and had zero complaints. Morgan kept us informed all throughout the booking of the animal's welfare and activities. A++, would book again.”

“Star fire is amazing! She took great care of our herd and kept me super informed. We have 3 Great Danes and a German Shepherd and they loved her. We will definitely be rebooking her!”

“Atiyana did a wonderful job taking care of our dig Leila. Leila was happy to meet her and took to her from day one. Thankful that she was able to care for her and feed our fish!”

“Faith is a fantastic petsitter! We were out of town for 8 days and didn't have to worry about a thing back home. It was wonderful to find a caring person who could spend this much time with our pets. Boarding can be so stressful on our big dogs, but Faith was able to do overnights and wasn't intimidated by our Dobermans in the slightest. She was a perfect fit, and we were so blessed to find her on Rover. It was our first experience with the service platform being new to Southern Maryland, but we will be repeat customers for sure.”

“Liz was wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure our timid dog was comfortable and that we knew she was cared for. I definitely recommend Liz as a dog sitter.”

“Ben was so wonderful! I’ve had people watch our dogs before, but Ben was by far the best. He was so communicative and told us everything that was going on. I got so many pictures of the girls, and even our fish! He checked in multiple times with updates, asked me to leave him a detailed list of all the things the girls usually do/need. He brought in the mail and packages for us, was very respectful of our home, and treated our dogs like they were his own. There’s no doubt in our minds that if we have to do this trip again, we will absolutely be asking Ben. I can’t recommend him enough!”

About: I truly treat pets like they are people. I am always gentle and kind to all animals, and I make sure their needs are met. I am currently working part time in the evening, so I can watch, walk, feed pets in the early morning, mid day, and late evening. In my home I care for my dog by walking him and making sure he has a safe environment. He lives comfortably in our home. Our cats are house cats who have the luxury of a spacious home to roam.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I stand out as a pet sitter due to my ability to also look after my clients’ plants/garden from time-to-time. My lifelong passion for animals includes providing special care for young and senior dogs, ensuring their health and happiness. My current schedule varies, but I typically work 7-hour shifts on Sundays and Mondays. On the these dates, I can manage pet care for all dogs that have a wait period to be let out 4-8 hrs. If necessary, I have the flexibility to call off work to ensure your pets are well taken care of. From Tuesday to Saturday, I have open availability, allowing me to dedicate ample time to pet care activities, such as walks, feeding, and playtime. This arrangement helps me balance work commitments while ensuring your pets receiving the attention and care they need. In caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I ensure to follow detailed instructions provided by the client to meet the specific needs of their dog. For instance, if a dog is anxious during thunderstorms, I am proactive in reaching out via call or text to discuss calming strategies. Additionally, I always clarify any boundaries regarding what I can handle or access in the home and to build a stronger rapport, I will arrange pre-sitting meetings with clients to better understand their preferences and to bond with their dog(s).

About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

“I highly recommend Mackenzie! She did an excellent job caring for our pups while we were out of town. She gave them plenty of exercise, love, and attention. I was confident the dogs were in capable hands the entire time. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family member book Mackenzie.”

“Jennifer did a great job taking care of Sheyneh and house-sitting. She kept us informed and sent us many pix of Sheyneh. Sheyneh and the house both looked great when we returned.”

“Grayson went above and beyond! My dogs are my whole world and I felt so much relief that they were being well taken care of and given lots of love... I got lots of pictures and text updates. We could not have asked for any better and we are going to be using Gray for the foreseeable future. I really dont know how to express my gratitude”

About: I have had a dog I my life as long as I can remember and while when I was younger I may not have given all the care I loved them as much as I could. I have had my own pup, Deacon, for over a year and have treated him as my child and he is very spoiled (but who’s dog isn’t). I have recently trained him as a pschiatric service dog and while training is always going to be a work in progress he is doing wonderfully. I would love to meet and take care of your dog whenever you need and would treat them as if they were my own! I am currently a college student taking primarily evening classes so will typically be available any day during the week from 12-4 and anytime on the weekends I have a very friendly and energetic dog who loves going on walks and to the dog park and would love to have you pup join us. At home I make sure they are fed when scheduled (for mine 2 times a day) and always have a full water bowl. I take them out for potty breaks 3-4 times a day as needed and will play or chill inside with them as they want.

About: I have been told that I am very patient when it comes to pets. I let them come to me and if they don’t want to I don’t force them. I am very careful to make sure the pets are happy and can get to know and love any pet. My life can fluctuate from busy to free depending on the time of year, but I always make time for my pets. It makes me happy to see them and take care of them on a daily and weekly basis. To care for pets, I make sure that they are ok and give them food and water first. Then I give them all the attention they need and make sure they are happy. I don’t just check in and leave, I like to spend time with them so they aren’t lonely.

“Jessica was great with our dog Biscuit. We received updates and photos. She is very friendly and flexible with our schedule. I will use her again and highly recommend her.”

“I have nothing but good things to say. Took care of my Atti like she was family. She will be so happy to go back in a couple weeks to play with Blaze again!”

About: I've had animals all my life! I love them all! I'm great with cats, dogs, pigs, and rabbits! I take special care of all my animals. I am self employed. I am available throughout the weekdays when most people are at work to be able to pop in and check on your pets as needed. Weekends as well. We have a fenced in yard. Cats would remain indoors unless stated otherwise. As long as your pets don't mind a toddler we should be great!

About: I've been around animals all my life, and care for every single one that comes across my path. I have 4 animals so far that are living healthy and happy, and regularly babysit my neighbor's animals for weeks at a time. I wake up every day to my cat, and I want to extend that love to more animals who need that care when their owners are a little busy! It comes as a second nature to me, and I think about how my animals might be impacted by the actions I make, for example: I can never leave drinks on the counter anymore because my cat learned she likes coffee. Not anymore of course! I respect boundaries of animals and owners alike, whether that be physical such as a room not to enter or mental such as a certain word that an animal doesn't like to hear. If I am provided with rules I will follow them like a mantra.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my energy as a young college student who truly enjoys spending time with them. I have a soft spot for both playful puppies and sweet senior pets, and I’m patient, attentive, and gentle with every animal I care for. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits or making sure an older dog is comfortable on slow walks, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work in the evenings from 4–7 PM, so I have plenty of free time during the mornings and early afternoons to give pets the attention, exercise, and playtime they need. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle session, or feeding time, I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, play, and any special instructions. I keep the environment clean, safe, and calm, and I always give pets plenty of love and attention so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a cozy, pet-friendly space with room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I treat every pet like family and make sure their physical and emotional needs are met every day.

“Linda was amazing! She was so friendly, took the time to meet our animals beforehand, and sent pictures while we were away. I'm very happy with how much love and care she showed our animals and when we came back they were clearly so loved by her that they didn't even seem to notice we were gone. Thank you Linda for taking such good care of our babies.”
