“Liz was an awesome pet sitter. She provided daily updates and photos and asked for information when a possible concern arose. My two dogs came home well cared for and happy!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies! I’m a college athlete who’s very active, so I’m happy to run/play and keep energetic dogs exercised while also making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, caring for my own two dogs! However, I’m a college student now, who lives an hour away from home, but I’m back for weekends and have plenty of free time to care for pets! I provide a safe, fun environment for pets. I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!
“We greatly appreciate Ashley taking such wonderful care of our dogs! She kept us updated with lots of pictures and communicated well throughout the entire stay. Our house was left in great condition, and we could tell our dogs were in excellent hands. We would definitely use Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. The dogs look forward to having her care for them again soon!”

“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.”

“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”

“We could not have left our dog, Waldo, in better hands than Stacey's! Stacey feels like family and Waldo felt that, too. We're grateful for her photo and video updates and attentive care. We strongly recommend Stacey!!”

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: 15+ years of rescue work and fostering dogs/cats. Over 1000+ Fosters and boarders. Experience with all different ages, breeds, medical issues. Able to handle a large pack and individual needs I have flexible hours and can be there for all your pets needs on a case by case basis. I have a very structured routine. Safety is key, walking the property daily to ensure no escape routes and doing door/window checks to keep everyone safe. Keeping their routine as close to normal as possible is key to happy pets.

About: I’ve had family dogs and cats of different breeds my entire life! Me and my family have also done a lot of fostering for dogs, so I have experience with different lifestyles in animals. I’ve had big dogs like Dobermans, and small dogs like chihuahuas! I currently have 4 dogs, three are girls, and one is a boy. They are very loved, entertained, and well trained. I have also had a few cats, and have loved them my whole life. I am currently in college to be a teacher, and work at a daycare as my day job! Once again, I look forward to taking care of your pets:) I work in a daycare during the week and do college online. Because of this, weekends work best for me but I am open to sitting/walking during the week. Typically I don’t work until the afternoon so I have morning availability, but I also don’t mind waking up early, coming late at night, or staying overnight. I am flexible, and am open to working around my schedule to take care of your furry friends! I am able to walk, feed, give potty breaks, and snuggles! I do not do any formal training but am more than open to working with any training routines you have set for your animals (ex./ practicing house training). I have had many different dog and cat breeds and understand that some are easier to train, have different dietary needs, and need more attention so I am completely willing to work with those factors. I am also able to pick up your dog and walk them at a different location if you are located somewhere that walking isn’t ideal, just let me know!
About: My love for animals began as a child. I was raised in a house with a plethora of pets (cats, dogs, birds, fish) and the love continued to grow while working at my grandparent's boarding kennel as a teenager. I currently work shift work and am flexible on my off days. Whether it's a short term notice for a quick walk or advanced notice, I would love to be able to accommodate your pet's needs. I live within access to numerous walking trails and am avid staying active and being outdoors. I do not currently own any pets and will maintain a safe and trustworthy environment providing attentive care for your pet.
“Jessica was very responsible and extremely caring and hands-on with our senior cat (and hamster too). She did several check-ins a day and spent many overnights which requires a high level of trust and Jessica went above and beyond. She communicated constantly with updates, pictures and videos (seriously, top-notch communication) and she left our home in perfect condition. Our animals took right to her and I am grateful to have found someone so kind and committed.”

About: I have grew up with my whole life with animals .They have always been a passion of mine! I am currently looking to pursue my career at an animal hospital and eventually start school for a veterinarian assistant ! One of my favorite child hood memories is looking back to all of our pets we had. We had dogs ,hamsters, iguanas, turtles ,cats,fish etc ! You name it we probably had it ! I am very compassionate, patient and friendly and i will make sure to treat your fur child like my own for sure! I have a daughter and also a 8 year old boxer who i adore so much so i absolutely know and understand how hard it can be to trust anyone with the ones we love the most but look no farther I will take care of them with no worries at all!! Your pets safety and needs will always be the number one priority at all times then the fun comes next! I cant wait to meet you and your furr kids soon to play and pamper them all!
About: Hi I’m Lindsay! I love spending time with our extroverted dog Zoomy 🐾 and with my cousin’s two cats Windex 🐈 and Squirt 🐈⬛. Zoomy would love to have some friends come over to play. I am a super responsible and clean person and would love to care for your fur babies while you’re away! Right now I have very flexible scheduling so send me a message! I can do daytime hours or evenings, just let me know. I’d be happy to work with you and your schedule. We have a big yard with an invisible fence for your dog to run around. Plenty of space inside the house to play too! I will make sure to give your dog plenty of water and potty breaks and meticulously follow any instructions you leave me!
“Drew was an excellent experience for my Basset Hounds! I had a last second trip in which Drew was able to accommodate as well as a pre home visit to meet the dogs and get a feel of their environment. As I was out of town she sent consistent updates / pictures and followed all directions I left for feeding and overnight stay. Basset Hounds are a specific breed (needy & hard headed ) and she handled them perfectly!”


“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.”
About: Hi there! If your looking for a dog sitter/walker no need to look any further. I’ve taken care of dogs of a variety of ages and sizes my whole life. I love dogs and have always found them great companions. I have grown up with Golden Retrievers and Cavaliers, so I am comfortable with large and small dogs. I have also had pets in the past with medical issues and am well aware of how to administer medicine and take attentive care if needed. In addition, I have experience with puppies, both my dogs are grown now but I’ve had them since they were puppies. I am used to puppy life with my Cavapoo (Myles), he is very energetic and playful. Hank on the other hand, my Golden, would rather sleep all day, unless we are playing fetch. As a result, I know how to handle pets with different needs, some energetic and some older not so energetic ones. I often dog sit and walk for family and friends, have had paid sitting jobs in the past, as well as bathe and brush my dogs. I am willing and happy to care for your dogs according to your preferences, as well as hangout and play with them so they can have some fun while your away! I work during the week 9-6 sometimes I get off earlier at 4 or 5. I could do morning before work or afternoons after if needed! I also can do most weekends. I am however moving in August so I am only available till the end of summer. I take my dogs on walks around the neighborhood, let them run around outside if there is a safe space. My dogs like to play fetch so I am happy to throw a ball or any other toy to entertain them. I always take my dogs on leash when outside and would make sure to abide by any rules parents might ask of me. I occasionally treat my dogs when they are good pups, so I would make sure to ask the parents about feeding preferences as well as allergies and dietary restrictions.
