About: I am reliable and trustworthy! I have worked closely with families for 5 + years, walking their dogs daily and house sitting and caring for their beloved pets while the owners traveled. I am available daily, mornings, afternoons and evenings, I just ask for 24-hr notice so I can plan accordingly! I am happy to walk them for atleast 15-20 minutes so they can stretch their legs and get out some energy! I also am happy to feed them for their routine meals if you are unable to do so. I am comfortable walking your dog if there is a safe space to do so, or playing with them in your fenced in yard, it is what you are comfortable with.
About: As a proud owner of 3 dogs and a cat, I will strive to make your pet feel like my own. Loved, cherished, and lots of belly rubs. Right now my only priority is to focus on my upcoming school year! Besides that I am free on weekdays and weekends. Day and night! I care for my dogs in my home by providing them with the enrichment they need. Whether that is playing tug of war or treat hide and seek!
About: I've worked with animals most of my life! I have raised trained and shown dogs. 40 years in the Veterinary Field , now retired, and rescues. I Have worked with and owned birds, rodents, reptiles, and aquatics. (fish salamanders, turtles and I even own an Axolotle!) Your pets will be well cared for and loved, as they are all a part of who I am. In your home, I will also not only clean up after myself, but water your plants, collect your mail, and fill bird feeders if needed. I am retired, so I have alot of free time. I will need to have a little time, occasionally, if I stay in your home, to run an errand, to the store, appointment, or a few hours of charity work, but that's all, the rest of the time will be given to your pets needs. And they will not be alone for extended hours. When I am in your home, I will need some time daily to run errands if needed. Essentially, I will do my best to stick to your pets normal routine, with a little extra spoiling and play time if allowed. No dog will be allowed off lead, when leaving house, unless you have good fencing and request it. All cats must remain indoors, unless the cat is specifically out door cat. I will need a written exclusion if it is. All caged animals must have clean and proper caging, depending on needs and length of stay, I can clean them for you. Aquatics shall be the same, I can change filters and treat, but not water changes.
About: I have been dog sitting for neighbors/family friends and people in my home town community since I was in college. I love all dogs like they are my own and do my best to spend as much time as I can with the dogs while their beloved family is away. I have cared for dogs of all ages including puppies and senior dogs that no longer have eye site. I also have experience walking large dogs including an Alaskan Malamute, as well as walking more than one dog at a time. I work full time as a physical therapist and sometimes have longer days but will make it back for lunch time potty breaks. I will take your dog on multiple walks while you enjoy time away. I work full time as a physical therapist. I do have 2 longer days but will be able to make it over for lunch time potty breaks and walks before and after work :) I will watch your dog when letting them out at your home if there is a fence, if not I will walk them as much as necessary.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years now with plenty of experience with most breeds, ages, and personalities! Coming from a family with 5 dogs, I have plenty of experience with handling multiple dogs schedules, feeding times, and medications. I also have plenty of experience with puppies, as well as senior dogs! I walk about 4-5 miles daily, so I am always active and ready to play with your pup! I have a true passion and love for dogs and want to share that to help others! :) I am currently working part time at a restaurant and med spa, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to travel and do overnight stays! I have a fenced in backyard with one mini dachshund at home. I am able to come to your house or bring a dog to me!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.
Sykesville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Moriah was truly a god send! Our dog is very protective of our home and the people in it. We were afraid we wouldn’t be able to go on our vacation this year because of our dog’s behavior. Moriah knew how to handle our situation with care and discipline with our dog. She sent pictures and updates every day. With each day our dog feel in love with her. I would recommend Moriah to anyone looking for a not just a dog sitter but a dog whisperer! ~Angel
