House Sitting in Thurmont

“I had an excellent experience with Crystal as both a pet and house sitter. From the start, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring—she kept me updated regularly and was always quick to respond to any questions. It made being away from home much less stressful. Crystal proved to be incredibly reliable, showing up exactly as scheduled and following all care instructions carefully. I could tell she took her responsibilities seriously, not only ensuring my pets were well cared for but also keeping the house in great condition. I highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful pet and house sitter.”

“Jenny was kind, caring, punctual and a great communicator. She took wonderful care of our sweet puppy while we were away. Jenny also took great care of our home, even getting the mail I forgot to put on hold. Her communication by text both before and during our time away was speedy and she even included photos of our pup having fun. We look forward to Jenny caring for our pup the next time we are away.”

“First time using Rover and leaving my 10-week-old puppy, and Ava was absolutely fantastic. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day, and I could tell he was having so much fun. She kept him on his schedule and was clearly experienced with puppies. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands- will definitely be using Ava again!”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Five-Star Dog Sitter Extraordinaire! We honestly don’t know what kind of magic Abby possesses, but she managed to care for all five of our wild, lovable heathens like an absolute pro. That’s not just dog sitting—that’s dog whispering. From the moment Abby walked through the door, our dogs were obsessed with her—and for good reason. She’s calm, kind, patient, and somehow has the energy and grace to keep up with five very different canine personalities (and let’s be real—these dogs aren’t exactly low-maintenance). Whether it was the high-energy zoomies, the endless toy-fetching, or the very dramatic meal-time antics, Abby handled it all with a smile and a level of care that blew us away. Not only were our dogs happy, exercised, and clearly well-loved while we were away, but Abby also kept us updated with the cutest photos and little anecdotes that showed just how much she genuinely gets each of our pups. She didn’t just watch our dogs—she connected with them. We came home to five calm, content dogs and a house that somehow wasn’t destroyed. That alone deserves a medal. Abby is hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our furry chaos crew. If you’re lucky enough to book her, don’t hesitate—your dogs (and your sanity) will thank you.”

About: Hi there! I’m a recently graduated physician assistant (PA) awaiting my hospital start date so my availability is currently wide open and I’m eager to help care for your beloved pets however I can. My schedule is easily customizable. I’m most eager for drop ins and walks to fill up my day meaningfully, yet offer sitting and boarding as well. I’m happy to offer a complimentary meet & greet ahead of services to ensure that it’s a good fit for all. I’ve had family pets of all species and sizes ever since I was born, growing up in 4H/ with large animals so I know a thing or two about general animal care. My experiences are varied and have lent to an above average animal sense. I’ve cared for senior pets, pets with advanced medical needs and my own animals during post-op recovery. One unique perk is that my sister is a veterinarian of 15 years and offers me an additional wealth of knowledge. Many might consider me a helicopter pet parent, which I’m proud to claim. No unsupervised grass/ twig chomping or foreign body scares with me around! I own two senior dogs: Remi and Paisley. They love everyone and everything but are at the age where sleep is the ruler of their day. I’m joining Rover semi selfishly because they have less ability for adventures now, yet unselfishly as any boarding time that your pet spends with us means spoiled vacation time with grandma and grandpa for them. However, I’m happy to keep them around if you have a puppy who needs socializing/ wise knowledge gathering from their elders. I’m a recently graduated physician assistant awaiting my start date so my availability is currently wide open and I’m eager to help care for beloved pets however I can. My schedule is easily customizable. In my home/ in life, pets are considered cherished family members. I am attentive, interactive and just overall excited to meet some new furry pals. I can keep up with any personality from frantic ball chaser to subdued couch potato. I know that every pet is different just as any human is different and am happy to accommodate in whatever way makes all happy.

“Sophia was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were away for 10 days. She is dependable, responsible and trustworthy, she was also very easy going with all of our pets wants and needs. She sent us updates and photos regularly and was quick to respond to our messages we sent to her. Our cat and dogs were well taken care of and so very happy while we were gone. Our home was also very well taken care of, she collected our mail and took out the trash. We will be using Sophia again in the future for drop ins and in home stays.”

About: First I just want it to be known that I am willing to work with clients on pay rates and negotiate to a rate that fits for both of us. The rates listed are not set in stone. I have cared for cats, small-large dogs in various breeds (Beagles, Pitbull's, Labs, Shelty's, and more) for several years now for close friends and family near the Frederick area. I also have experience with smaller animals like Guinea Pigs, Gerbils, Bunnies, Fish, Turtles, and Hermit Crabs. I myself have a 6 year old Beagle and have been taking care of her for the passed 5 years now. I am home from college for summer break and will be available most weeks days in the evenings and some weekends. Other than work and preparing for school events I will not have much on my plate, giving plenty of time to care for your pets. I care for my clients pets with upmost care and love while maintaining expectations of what the client needs or prefers for their pets. This may include taking your dogs for daily walks, playing with them, making sure they are fed, bathing them, cleaning up any potty accidents, and spending quality time with them to keep company while their owners are away. For cats this may include keeping their litter boxes clean, making sure they are fed of course, playing with them, and quality time as well. I rely on clients to give me information on their pets routines so the pets themselves aren't as confused with a new person taking care of them.
