“Our dog loves Sam and their daily walks!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have previous work experience at a kennel. Most importantly, I am certified in pet CPR and First Aid. I am a senior in high school so my schedule is pretty light. I can make time any day of the week for your pets. I have a 3 acre yard with an invisible fence. My neighborhood is a very nice place to take walks in. I also believe your pets should be comfortable, so if I come to your home I will make sure to take care of everything.
About: Have been a cat lover since I was little. I have always had cats growing up and have come to love seeing all of their different personalities. I know that all cats are not the same and need different things to make them feel comfortable. I will take care of your cats like they are one of my own! I don't have any dogs as pets however when I go to visit friends and family with dogs I spend time with them by letting them get to know me first. They figure out if they want to play or just like to be petted. I have my evenings free during the week and don't work during the weekends so I have free time to take care of your fur baby. During summer I am on summer break my days are free as well. Understand each individual personality and treat them with respect. Make sure to keep them safe and give attention and take care of their daily needs.
About: I have a 10 year old goldendoodle named Taffy who I have raised since she was a puppy. I have walked dogs and house sat for friends and family since I was young and will always take the opportunity to spend time with animals of all kinds! I am currently at home for the summer in the Frederick area so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets. I’ll be going back to College Park at the end of August. I can follow any directions needed for caring for your fur babies. I can go for long walks to provide exercise, play (of course), cuddle, reinforce tricks/training, administer oral medicine, etc.. Just ask and I will probably be willing to accommodate any requests! I always make sure that your pet has access to fresh water and feed according to instructions.

About: I've been around animals my whole life. From the littlest of fish, to the largest of cows and other farm animals! I have 3 dogs of my own, two Colorado mountain dogs and a medium pittie mix. I also have 4 geckoes (2 leopards, a giant Madagascar day gecko, and my newest boy, a harlequin crested gecko!). I've dog-sat little dogs, big dogs, disabled and elderly dogs, as well as young pups and households with multiple animals! I will give you the best care, whether it be for your pets, home, or more! I work part-time, and I am also a full-time college student! Thankfully, my schedule is very flexible and my attention will solely be on your furry friends. I always make sure to keep my client's homes clean and organized, and pay special attention to any extra tasks I'm giving, such as watering plants (I have dozens of plant babies!), changing the temperature, emptying dehumidifiers, and retrieving packages. Anything you need, I will do to the best of my abilities! I like to update my clients daily on their pets to ease their mind.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for the past 30 years. In the past 10 years have enjoyed taking care of my senior Beagles. I'm off for the summer so just about any day works! In the fall, my schedule will allow Mon- Fri after 3pm. Can't wait to help out! I can help you in your home with feeding, walking and playing with your pet. If your pet just needs snuggles, I'm there for it.
About: I have dog sat for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around dogs, big and small. I have my own dog now, a German shepherd lab mix. I have also dog sat multiple dogs at once as well as multiple house holds at once as well. I am currently available at anytime for your pets needs. I can be there early mornings, afternoons, and late nights. Since I have open availability, I am able to stay with your pup for hours at a time or a quick check in! Whatever you may need, I am here for both you and your pups!! At home, my Shepherd lab mix Maxwell has an entire property to run and play. He is trained to come on demand and is allowed to roam the unfenced property. When at another household, I will take the dog(s) out every hour or so to make sure they do their duties as well as have time to run and play outside. I know how important physical activity is for a dog, that is why I always try to extend outside play as much as possible for both the benefit of me as well as the dog(s).
“Melisha was great with our new puppy Riley that we rescued. Riley loved her and loved the walks. Melisha would send us the cutest pictures of Riley on her walks. I highly recommend her!”
About: While I am not a professional business, I have owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. I have taken care of dogs from 10 lb up to 120 lb. I'm currently going through a divorce and have two young children that I am just trying to pick up some extra money for. I will provide updates for any services provided and treat your dogs as if they were my own. I have a full-time job working from home but have the flexibility to incorporate drop-in visits and 30 minute walks into my work routine for your convenience. I will treat your dogs as if they are my own. Going through a divorce is obviously an expense, but one thing I have always said is just as I fight for my children. I consider my dogs my children as well and they have had everything they have needed just as my actual children have; and your dogs will be treated the exact same way.
About: I own 2 huskies. I've volunteered with a dog rescue for 8 years fostering all types of dogs... 46 of them in fact. My husband and I have firefighter/EMT schedules so we're often home during the day, and handle emergencies well. We have an irregular schedule in my house. You will have to check my calendar for availability. We are often home during the week and daytime. My care for my dogs and foster dogs depend on the dog. My female dog is a princess who sleeps on the couch, but my male needs to be kenneled to keep out of trouble. We have a dog door to allow our dogs freedom to go in and out as they please.
“Meghan was fantastic with Weezie. Patient and loving and easy-going and responsible. Thanks!”
About: I have had dogs for the past 30 years. I am an approved foster home for a pug rescue. I have rescued several dogs! The last two years, I have been a dog walker! The dog I recently rescued was a client I walked whose mom was disabled. She needed more care than her mom could give her. We bonded from the first walk, and I knew I could be her forever home! I have a blind/deaf pug as well. I do a lot of housesitting and dogsitting it’s always a joy! My home is on an acre. I have my own business out of my home, and so I am home all day and your pet will not be left alone! I am home all day running my health coach business. Pet care will keep me busy and your animal happy..and the resident dogs will love having playmates! I do have a portion of my yard fenced in so the dogs have lots of room to run and play and be dogs. Dogs are rarely crated unless they are used to that and the owner request that they have time in their crate. I am home the majority of the time. I work from home on a part-time basis so I am with the dogs the majority of the time. When the dogs come to my home, it is like they are on their own little vacation. They have a good time playing with the other dogs and go home tired.
“Samantha is awesome at taking care of Max. Max is not an easy dog to walk but Max let her walk him and gave her kisses. Even though we had issue with Rover regarding refund on a few missed walks (due to legit reasons), but Samantha has been responding to my messages right away and tried her best to help me. I will book Samantha again in the future.”

Also growing up with dogs, she’s always been good around animals including the time she spent during the summer working at a dog kennel. Your pets will be in good hands!”

She created an amazing environment for Shadow with lots of space and toys to play with. She also provided the same love and care to her hamster, and most recently to her beloved dog Taffy. Abby ensures that the animals in her care receive the best of everything from their environment to their food to their, to their toys, and spends a lot of time loving on them as well.

Nicole M.
“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Nikki For any dog walking + taking care of any animal. I have known Nikki for 20 years and in that time I have seen firsthand her incredible kindness to others and animals. Nikki would come take care of our dogs whenever my family was at work or school and also whenever we were on vacation. One of our dogs was not fond of very many people and especially not fond of anybody outside of the family. Nikki was the exception. Nikki consistently demonstrated a calm and gentle demeanor around our pets. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, always making sure our dogs and home were well taken care of.”
Natalia M.
“Our senior pug Rosie requires a lot of attention! Rosie is blind, diabetic and requires additional pills and eye drops. Rosie also relies on us to help her up and down stairs and pretty much everything! Not only is Natalia the nicest, sweetest person to us , Rosie loves her! Natalia is reliable and trustworthy. She has stayed at our home several times a year over a several year span. I cannot recommend Natalia enough. :)”

“I’ve known Theresa for years and she’s wonderful with every dog she meets! We foster for a local rescue so she has experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and shapes.
