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've had dogs and cats my whole life, and at a young age was entrusted with the care of neighbors friends and families pets. I haven't met an animal yet that I couldn't win over and make them my friend! I adore animals, and they love me! Pet care is my life. The majority of my day is devoted to animal care. This is a farm, so a few hours a day devoted to farm chores, but the rest of the day is devoted to the pets in my care. There are trails and a creek, so we go for walks and the occasional swim. There are also wide open pastures that are great for a game of chase or fetch. My home is set up for any kind of care. At our home; your animal will be made to feel at home. There are crates if your pet is more comfortable this way. At your home; time will be spent socializing with your pet, play, cuddling, story time, and feeding.

About: I have an 11 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: Hello, my name is Nailah! I’m a devoted and dependable dog caregiver offering quality overnight boarding and heartfelt care that’s tailored to your dog’s unique needs. I’m a proud dog mom of two lovable Labradoodles—Ginger (4) and Kai (2). Their playful spirit and gentle hearts have filled my life with so much joy and have also given me meaningful, hands-on experience with affectionate, high-energy breeds. One of my most cherished experiences was raising a litter of 11 Labradoodle puppies, including Kai. That journey taught me the importance of patience, routine, and unconditional love when caring for dogs at every stage of life. Whether your dog is a curious puppy or a laid-back senior, I welcome them into my home as part of the family. ❤️‍🩹 My goal is always to create a space where dogs feel safe, calm, and loved; just like they do at home. I believe that trust and communication are key!! I’ll gladly keep you updated with messages, pictures, and check-ins so you feel connected and at ease while your dog is with me. Their happiness and well being mean everything to me, and I’m here to give them the same love and care I give my own. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize feeding, exercise, playtime, and attention to ensure my dogs feel happy and cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety by maintaining a clean, secure environment. I supervise closely, provide plenty of attention, and communicate regularly with owners to build trust and ensure each dog’s comfort and well-being.

About: Are you looking for a loving, reliable, and trustworthy human for your pet? Growing up in a family that bred Golden Retrievers, caring for dogs (and the occasional cat!) became second nature. Over the years, my passion for animals only grew, and I eventually started my own breeding business. Through these experiences, I developed a deep understanding of animals and learned the importance of gentle, attentive care. I moved from California to Maryland, where I’ve shifted my focus entirely to helping pet owners by providing exceptional care. I would be thrilled to look after your furry family member. Hi there! I’m Brooke, a devoted pet lover with a flexible work-from-home schedule, allowing me to cater to your pet’s every need, whether for a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or a overnight stay. I aim to create a safe, welcoming, and relaxed environment where your pet feels completely at ease and cared for, as if they were with family. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m here to make that experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Whether your dog loves exploring new parks, trotting around the neighborhood, or curling up for snuggles, I tailor every visit to suit their preferences and routine. During overnight stays, I bring a sense of home to our time together—your pet gets all the attention, love, and comfort they’re used to.t this time I would only be open to dog walking or drop ins. I am highly confident I can give your pet and yourself a relaxing fun experience with a stress free environment. I absolutely love walking, and enjoy hiking in my free time. My approach is built on compassion, attentiveness, and a love for getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I want you to feel confident and relaxed, knowing that your furry family member is in gentle, caring hands.
