About: I grew up with a high-energy Siberian husky and a large mutt (~80 lbs) who were both dog reactive. I learned how to handle them from as soon as I was strong enough to not get pulled into the street! I loved taking them on runs, hikes, long walks, and pretty much anything outdoors. I currently have a two-year-old golden retriever mix at home who loves people, playing, dog parks, hikes, loafing on the couch, and lots of attention (all of which I am more than happy to provide for her). I was recently laid off and am returning to school to get EMT certified soon, so I have a lot of free time to care for your dog! I have housesat for friends with smaller dogs in the past as well and would welcome the opportunity to housesit any size dog :) I am located near town center market in Riverdale Park and have a car. I'm currently in evening classes so other than that I have most weekdays free for walks at whatever time is most convenient for you. For housesitting, I would need time to attend those classes and walk my own dog but would be able to not leave your dog unattended for more than 2 hours at a time. I will be very respectful of your home and would happily attend to any plants you have as well (I enjoy gardening quite a bit). I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me in your house. I will also send updates at whatever frequency you prefer!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide attentive care for their pets. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a student and my schedule is pretty flexible, so I can usually make time for walks, drop ins, or boarding during the week and weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just someone to hang out with, I’ve got you covered! I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, and I’ll always keep you updated so you have peace of mind.

Amy is a wonderful and very responsible pet sitter. We were referred to her by a neighbor and hired her to check in on our two elderly, high maintenance cats while away on vacation. Communication was great and Amy sent detailed updates and pics with each visit. Everything went smoothly and I'm not sure our cats even missed us!

About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.

Becky took great care of our cat Reggie! She followed our care instructions and left the house in pristine condition. Reggie got lots of playtime during Becky’s visits. When we got home we could tell Reggie wasn’t stressed, so we know Becky made him feel safe and loved. We will definitely book her again.

Ashley is a gem — she is consistent, thorough, thoughtful and always eager to go the extra mile. She not only developed immediate rapport with my mean old cat, she also takes plenty of photos and was able to water some sprouts in our garden while we were away. If you can book her, you won’t regret it!
