About: I am simply an animal lover! When I'm with your pets they will always be treated and loved as much as my own! Cuddles guaranteed 🩷🐾 I've gained my knowledge and passion for animals working as a kennel technician and working for a few veterinary practices. I have experience with all domestic animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs, birds, but limited reptile experience). My current fur babies are a dog named Coco and two kitties Stella and Milo. Coco was a rescue from a kill shelter in Texas brought to MD. She is a foster fail I knew within a few days I would keep her FOREVER. She is very shy and still working on being socialized but she is the sweetest girl and I love her with all my heart! Both kitties are rescues as well. Milo is a very sweet boy and Stella is a spicy princess! There is nothing I love more than spoiling my pets and showing them a life full of love and happiness. I am able to administer medications and handle animals of all temperaments and needs. I have experience with tablet liquid and injected medication as well as medicating animals that are stubborn about swallowing their medicine! I have worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am always willing and prefer to meet pets prior to an assignment if possible in order to help them be comfortable around me if they are usually timid with strangers. Having veterinary knowledge and experience I know what to look for that signals an animal emergency so you can have peace of mind that your pets are in great hands and would have access to emergency care at my current employer which is a local veterinary emergency and specialty hospital. I currently work full time at a Veterinary ER Monday thru Wednesday and every other weekend. I am willing to be flexible around my work hours if it works out with the care your pet needs. Unfortunately I do not provide boarding or care for pets in my home at this time due to having anxious pets at home that would not be a good match for visitors.

“Courtney was a huge help while I was away on vacation! She did an amazing job taking care of my fur babies. She went above and beyond on numerous occassions to ensure my pups were taken care of with plenty of extra long walks, feeding them dinner and treats, and kept me apprised of the pups daily with photos and updates. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing the dogs were being well taken care of. Courtney is one of the best dog walkers in the area and would absolutely recommend and work with again!”

“Jenna has been wonderful with Riggins, and he looks forward to his playtime with Jenna.”

“Jessica has been a kitty mama for many years. She has a heart for animals and truly cares about their well-being. She recently rescued a mama cat and her 4 babies from living on the streets. I know that she would be the best person to take care of your pet. She is attentive and puts her pets needs first. She genuinely has such a loving heart.”

“Lauren has been the best with my dog! Starting to think she likes Lauren more than me now!”

About: Are you looking for a loving, reliable, and trustworthy human for your pet? Growing up, my family actually bred Golden Retrievers. Caring for dogs and or cats etc became natural. I have always been passionate about animals. How could anyone not? In recent years, I myself started my own breeding business. I would be more than happy to care for your pet. This past year I stopped breeding of which was in California and moved to Maryland. Currently I am working part time, my work schedule at the moment is Friday-Sunday’s. Otherwise my schedule is extremely flexible and I am open to moving my own schedule around if need be. At 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.

About: I’ve always taken care of my animals ever since I was little. I’ve helped my dogs go through many different stages of their lives. From the time they were a puppy to the time they were old. I work Monday-Friday at a full time job but I’m available every Saturday and Sunday to help out with whatever you may need for your pets. I can follow any instructions you may have set for your pet whether it’s me dropping in or if it’s me taking them for a walk.

About: I love animals and pets so much . I had two senior ferrets that I lost to cancer recently and had them since they were 4 months. They died at 7 almost 8 years old. I had an old English bulldog that died last year. I am in a veterinary assistant program to be an assistant in the near future. Pet care is one of the things that keep me so happy. I wanna be a veterinary assistant in the near future so I fit it in by making a daily routine. I took care of my neighbors pets in her home in July 2024. I took them outside for walks, played with them, fed them and gave them fresh water a couple times a day. I also stayed overnight at her house cause I know her very well because one her babies has a fear being alone. When it comes told safety I ensure that all gates and doors are locked behind me, ENsure no dogs approach your babies just to keep them safe.

“I'd ended up taking care of my brother's pet Ziti for a while, definitely the sweetest little fur baby ever. And surprisingly enough though I thought I knew everything there was to know from the man himself, Tara was actually instrumental in helping me develop a routine and better care for his pet. Working out a healthy mix of indoor and outdoor time when the weather was good, as well as food recommendations too! If I didn't know any better I'd have thought I was watching HER pet. Absolutely one of the best animal care providers I've had the care to run into. Ziti still says hi as well!”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 30 years. Mostly small to medium dogs. I also have a bearded dragon, aquatic turtle and lion head rabbit. I’ve watched my neighbors dogs several times. I currently homeschool my kids so we are available almost anytime. We go to church on Sunday mornings but otherwise we are easy to work around. We do walks in both the neighborhood and the park if it’s close. If there is a yard we will use that to run and play.
