“Renee was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! You can tell how much she loves dogs and how connected to them she is. She was communicative leading up to the stay and gave a lot of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. It was such a peace of mind knowing our dog was in good care and having a great time in Renee’s care. Highly recommend her!”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“Very good experience everytime with the sitter. They always send pictures and vedios and give all the updates. We know that our Shiner is always in good hands. We are very thankful.”
“Ellen was just wonderful and I know my dog was in good hands while we were gone. She got to run and play and hike on the farm and Ellen sent pictures and videos. Will absolutely use Ellen again to watch our Bella girl!”
“Rachel and Jason took great care of our little Shi-Chi overnight. Pepper is usually such a creature of habit that we didn't know what to expect, but seeing the photos of her while we were away really put our minds at ease. Rachel even went the extra mile cuddling our little lap dog and seeing that her ponytail and bow were straight. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia was great with my lab Daisy! Daisy has exhibited separation anxiety in the past when I have been gone for a while but Olivia was very patient with her. She has 2 small dogs of her own which probably helped too. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times as well. Also she did a good job of keeping me up to date by daily sending me pictures and videos. All in all I would definitely recommend Olivia for all your dog sitting needs.”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“We believe Rene is the dog whisperer. Our dogs did great and we appreciate how they loved going back the next day. We have anxious dogs and they don’t always like where they’re going but they certainly loved going back. Thank you for taking great care of our pups.”
“Ruth and Agnes took such great care of my Mochi! They sent many pictures and updates of Mochi while I was away and I felt so at ease leaving her there. They were able to give her medicine with no issues as well. Mochi is very spoiled and particular at home and they were able to accommodate all my instructions for feeding and care. Mochi loves it there and gets so excited to go. I highly recommend booking Ruth for any pet care needs.”
“We had a great experience with Nicole taking care of our pug, Memo, for about a week. She was super nice and easy to work with from the start. From the meet and greet, we knew Memo was going to love her. She kept us updated every day on how Memo was doing, and we really like the photos and videos she sent. It really made it a lot easier being away from him. You could tell right away that Memo was comfortable and happy with her and her husband. They treated him like their own and made sure he got plenty of attention and walks. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.”
“Our dog loves Jennifer. Every time we book her to watch our dog, he gets so excited to see her. She constantly sends photos to update us on how our pup is doing. We can always rely on her to take great care of our dog.”
“Erika was an amazing sitter for my puppy Ace. This was the first time Ace has been away from both his parents, but his weekend stay with Erica made him feel right at home. I let her know that I love getting pictures and videos. And she came through she let me see that Ace was being loved and well cared for. And she even made him extra tired for when I was coming to pick him up from a long trip so he came home and went right to sleep. Thank you so much for making our first experience so well. We will see you in July.😁😁”
“Nat & Ally were excellent with my girl. They were very accepting when I needed to change the dates several times. They sent lots of pictures so I could see my girl and how comfortable she was, particularly during a thunderstorm which she hates. I will definitely be booking with them in the future!”

Have owned and cared for over 15 pets in my lifetime to include my last shih-tzu who live to 20 years old. Additionally, my husband and I have been the go-to godparents & babysitters for all friends & family pets.

I have years of experience with puppy training and senior dog care to include dispensing of medication and basic eye, ear, etc care. Hope you will allow us to love on your baby while you are away. Since we are home all day, any and all special needs will be taken care of for your fur baby. We have a great fenced in backyard as well as parks near by for walks as needed.

“Kasie was great with my kitties! She was great with communication and sent plenty of photos and videos ? while I was away. She made me feel at ease and my Maine Coon loved her? I will definitely hire her whenever I need someone to watch them”
“Sarah was the BEST! I will definitely be wanting to work with her again in the future! I was super nervous about leaving our two 18 week old kitties home, while we went on a long weekend trip for the first time. Sarah made me feel at ease with the prompt texts, photos, videos and updates. She came and met them the day prior and answered all of my questions! She’s neat and tidy, followed all my directions and my kitties loved her. I would 100% recommend her!”
“Connie was great! She was good with every instruction I gave, seemed to enjoy spending time with my two cats, and they did too :) I appreciated getting good notes and cute pictures from her while we were on our trip.”
“Dominique was amazing with my 2 cats during all her visits! She responded quickly to messages and went above and beyond to care for my pets. I definitely recommend Dominique to anyone!”
“Chrissy was incredible! I was anxious about leaving my cat, especially because she’s skittish around people, but Chrissy went above and beyond to stay on contact with me and was so good with my cat. She’s wonderful!”
“Kristy was on time and left thorough notes and photos to document her visit. She even got a photo of our very shy cat! She thought of every detail that I typically worry about while we're away, and her updates put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend!”
“Shelby has been so thoughtful and so caring while taking care of my two cats. She is very communicative, which I love from a pet sitter, because I treat my cats like my children. She shared feedback about my cat’s behavior, appetite, and sent photos too. I will definitely be requesting her assistance with drop in visits in the future!”
“Maureen was wonderful. We felt very confident our cats were in good hands with her. She came in with a notebook and took notes about everything she needed to do so we had no worries our cats were well taken care of. She took pictures and sent them to us with every visit which we looked forward to every day. We would definitely use Maureen again.”
“Tracy was wonderful taking care of my cat while I was out. She kept him entertained, sent me lots of adorable pictures, and was easy to talk to. I’m really looking forward to her pet sitting for me again soon!”
“Lily stopped in to take care of my pets while I was away for a weekend she fed my cat and even my tortoise she sent photos and communication was so great I felt my home and babies were in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
About: I grew up and lived with many cats over the years. I absolutely adore them. In high school I did some volunteering with cats at my hometown’s humane society. I just adopted an 8 month old cat named Delilah. She’s the sweetest! I love cats and enjoy giving them playtime and becoming their friend.
About: Current owner of three lovely dogs looking to care for other small dogs (30lb Max - some rare exceptions, feel free to ask) at my home. I’ve been a dog owner for the last 20 plus years. I have also cared those belonging to family and friends on many occasions. I have a large gated backyard that your dog will enjoy. I spend lots of time outside, so all dogs will get plenty outdoor time. My days start early, so drop off and pickup times are pretty flexible. My main option on here is dog boarding but I also do drop ins and house sitting! Any specific requests for them? Let me know! Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! If you have any questions don’t be afraid to shoot me a message and ask away. ❤️ Being that my dogs are small I will only be caring for other small dogs. I look forward to welcoming and caring for your sweet one too. I am currently working from home so, I am able to care for dogs 24 hours a day. Also, being able to walk dogs, administer medication and help with potty training. I have a two story home with a big yard. Dogs have access to the entire home and are welcomed to join me on the couch and on the bed.
About: 🐾 Cat Experience My journey with cats began with a shy tabby I adopted from an animal shelter in Darnestown. She was cautious, observant, and needed time to feel safe, and caring for her shaped the way I approach every cat I meet. She taught me that trust cannot be rushed, and that the best care comes from patience, gentleness, and learning each cat’s unique personality. Since then, my love for cats has only grown, one cat at a time, into a five-cat household. Living with five very different feline personalities has given me not only deep joy, but also hands-on experience in understanding what helps cats feel comfortable, secure, and truly cared for. As your cat’s butler, I focus on providing calm, attentive, detail-oriented care. I keep routines steady, feeding areas clean, water fresh, and litter boxes well maintained, whether that means traditional litter boxes, Breeze systems, or automatic litter robots. I’m also comfortable giving medication with care and patience. I pay close attention to behavior, energy, and small changes that may matter, and I always aim to leave your home neat, peaceful, and your cat feeling relaxed. You’ll receive thoughtful updates and photos along the way, so you can feel confident that your cat is in caring and capable hands.
“Exceptional Care for Pixi - Highly Recommend Sera! I am grateful to have found Sera and will undoubtedly entrust Pixi's care to her in the future. Thank you, Sera, for taking such wonderful care of Pixi!”
“We had a great experience! She stopped by twice to let our dogs out while we were away and was reliable, communicative, and very caring with them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Renee took great care of our dog at daycare! Good communication and sent pics/updates. Our fur baby came home happy and tired from a day of fun playing with Renee and her two dogs. Would recommend to anyone in need of doggie daycare and will definitely use her services again!”

“We were so lucky to have Ellen watch our dog, Ziva! She has separation anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving her with someone new in a new environment. Ellen was so reassuring from the start, promising to take good care of her. And she absolutely did. Her sweet dog, Cleopatra, was so friendly and helped Ziva feel comfortable right away. Our first impression was unforgettable- Ziva followed Ellen, which is rare for her with someone she doesn’t know. Ellen took extra care to comfort Ziva when she was anxious and sent us picture updates that really put our minds at ease. Because of Ellen, we were able to enjoy our event without constantly checking our phones. This was such a relief, especially since we’ve had a bad experience with a previous sitter who never sent updates. Ellen went above and beyond, and we could truly feel the difference in Ziva’s comfort. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ellen, for caring for Ziva like she was your own!”
“Rene was so great with our dog. She was patient and answered all our questions. We provided her with instructions for feeding and training and she was so kind to follow them. We really appreciated her response on a very short notice. We look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“Olivia was really great with Lucky. He fit right in with her puppies and they had so much fun playing in her big yard. She also sent me pic and video updates. I will definitely be using be using her services again. 10/10!!! Thanks!!!”
“Emily is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She cared for my pup during a doggy stay at her home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Emily and her wonderful family welcomed my dog with open arms, keeping him busy and happy the entire time. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Despite the terrible cold weather, Emily made sure my pup got plenty of short but frequent walks, always prioritizing his comfort and well-being. It’s clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“We used them for daycare while work was completed on our house and Annie loved her time there! All tail wags when going there and she was a tired, happy girl when she got home. We will definitely use them again”
“Kelli was absolutely incredible! She took my last minute request and took care of our dog like her own. She communicated and took tons of pictures for us! We will be back!!”
“My girl Ozzy had a great time with Rachel and her poodles. She made her feel welcom and Ozzy quickly settled in with everyone. She was flexible with my schedule and even watched her an extra hour when my event ran over. I am greatful Rachel was available on short notice and would happily book with her again.”

I have been providing pet sitting services for friends and families for over 20 years. And for over 16 years, I raised dogs from puppy to adulthood. I volunteer at humane societies and have experience carrying for dogs with medical and special needs. No breed or size is off limits. I have a lot of experience with small dogs. I have used rover as a pet parent and strive to be the best sitter for you. I will provide daily updates via phone, text, or email depending on your preferences. I love sending photo updates of your pet doing fun things. We have a fenced yard for your pet to play in. I offer a complimentary meet and greet before your booking to become acquainted with you and your pets. This meet and greet is important to ensure I am the right fit for you and your pets.

About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years. I'm experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and everything in between, including any dog size petite to massive! I can administer medicine as well. We have a home about 4 blocks from Baker Park in a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks, and we have a fully fenced in backyard as well. I work from home M-F 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. Occasionally I may step out for dinner with my wife or friends. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. My schedule is fairly flexible during working hours, so I can take our furry friend out for many breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
“Meeting Maureen was a joy. She was very thorough with gathering information about Attie -- things I never would have thought to ask/tell. You can tell how much she wants to make sure our sweet Attie is taken care of and right at home. Attie is shy, deaf and partially blind. She knows my son and I by shape and smell -- tends to stick with us. She felt comfortable enough to roam Maureen's yard and even came to her after a short period of time. I feel very confident and comfortable knowing Maureen is taking care of our baby. Already booking another stay. :)”

“I was nervous getting a dog walker at first. As someone who had been in the petcare industry myself for 10+ years ,you see the good and the bad. But Connie is the most reassuring and animal loving person I have met in this area. Our puppy Brooklyn loves her. She makes sure our puppy gets lots of attention. I greatly appreciate everything she has done.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have grown up with dogs, and love all dogs. Neighbors and family members have relied on me to take care of their dogs. This includes feeding, exercising, medication and play time! I am experienced with handling puppies and with senior dogs as well. I currently don’t have any other commitments, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your doggies! I’m available Sunday through Saturday all day and or night. I will follow set instructions if you have any in regards to being in your home. Otherwise, I will care for your beloved puppy like they are my own and use my judgment.
“Dominique is absolutely amazing with my dog Scarlet. From our initial meet and greet and all of her time and questions about my dog's specific needs, I knew she was a really caring and experienced dog handler. She knows my dog (unfortunately) loves to eat things off the ground and has to be watched liked a toddler, so she's incredibly attentive (and patient) with Scarlet. Would give Dominique 10 stars if I could and grateful to have her walking Scarlet on a weekly basis!”
About: I've been taking care of pets since elementary school, starting with helping neighbors. I have a natural affinity with all animals and am known for my patience in understanding and addressing their unique needs. I have my own dog, whom I've been caring for over the past nine years. Additionally, I've frequently looked after family members' dogs during their vacations or whenever they needed a sitter. My experience, combined with my genuine love for animals, ensures that every pet in my care receives the utmost attention and affection. I am currently available from 6 am until 11 pm for all your pets needs. I do have flexibility in my schedule so if anything needs to be discussed I am definitely open to that! In my home, pets enjoy a comfortable, clean, and supervised environment. I maintain a regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest to keep them happy and healthy. I have a secure backyard for safe outdoor play and regular walks to keep them active and stimulated. When caring for pets in my client's home, I adhere strictly to the provided care instructions and routines. I maintain open communication with the owners, providing regular updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are well taken care of. I am vigilant about home security, ensuring all doors and gates are properly closed and locked. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, building a bond of trust and ensuring every pet feels loved and secure in my care.
About: Hi, I’m Eileen. I provide gentle, attentive care for small dogs, with a focus on safety, routine, and a calm home environment. My availability is primarily weekends, holidays, and selected weekday evenings, which allows me to give each dog steady, unhurried attention. I tailor care to each pup’s personality, whether that means relaxed walks, light play, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their routine familiar and reassuring. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep bowls and rest areas clean, and send thoughtful updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease. Because I have resident cats, I’m best suited for cat-savvy small dogs. I approach introductions slowly, supervise carefully, and can keep spaces separate when needed. My style is warm, detail-oriented, and intentionally limited in volume, so each dog receives the same thoughtful care I would want for my own pets. 🕰️ Schedule I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays, and I thoughtfully plan my pet care visits around that schedule to ensure each visit is calm, unhurried, and consistent. On weekdays, I offer evening drop-in visits, which tend to be a natural and comforting time for most cats, which is quiet, predictable, and aligned with their evening routines. On weekends and holidays, I’m available between 10am–5pm, with more flexibility to match your cat’s preferred schedule. At home, I care for my own five cats every day, so multi-cat routines, different personalities, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment are already part of my daily life. When I visit your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness—never rushed, always respectful of your cat’s pace and space. I also keep my bookings intentionally limited so each cat receives steady, thoughtful care. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, or medication, I make sure every visit feels consistent and reassuring for both you and your cat. My primary service is caring for cats in their own home, where many feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to doors, windows, lights, and entry routines. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat and home in someone else’s care, so I treat both with great respect and attention. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s personality and your preferences. Some cats want play and affection, while others prefer quiet company and space. I pay close attention to food, water, litter box habits, and any small changes in behavior. After every visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos, videos, and a clear report, so you can feel informed and at ease while you’re away. If I ever care for a cat in my home, I would focus on slow introductions, separated food, close monitoring, and a calm, clean environment. My five resident cats are all up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and I always respect each cat’s pace and comfort level.
“Adrienne is thoughtful and caring and very very good at communicating. This is my 3rd time leaving my dog (a somewhat demanding pug) in her care. It will certainly not be our last.”

“Jennifer was so good with Maizy! She gave quality time to Maizy playing with her as well as giving her undivided attention, and provided many photos on the report card. Maizy warmed up to her fast and you could really see how happy Maizy was in the photos 😊”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Predominately cats and dogs, but also a few fish, hermit crabs, and briefly a lizard. In my teens I started helping my parent's friends with house & pet sitting. As an adult, I have had both a cat and a dog as my personal pets to continue to have their company in my life. I still help my friends and family today in the care of their animals. Summer Time I have more time as my child is visiting with their father for several weeks. M-F 9am-6pm. Sat and Sundays 10am-6pm; IF AVAIBLE. I do have other work on the weekends. Once school is back in session, I will be available M-F 9:30am-3pm. Your pet and home will be treated with the highest quality of care and respect. No messes left behind and all rules will be followed.
“Grace was great with our energetic puppy Darcy. He was anxious to meet someone new, but she calmed him down with treats and pets. She was very communicative and arrived right on time. Would definitely recommend her as a dog walker!”
About: I’ve always had pets in my house growing up. I’ve fostered kittens and volunteered at local animal shelters. I have experienced bottle feedings, house breaking, and senior dogs and handle them all with ease and love. I am currently running my family business and spend most of my weekdays day at home. This allows my weekdays to have flexibility and availability to pet parents who work during the day. My home is located in downtown Frederick and I also have a fenced in backyard. I can easily get to many areas of Frederick quickly and with ease. My pets at home are friendly and welcome guests! We have fostered cats and often have other dogs visit.
“Ava was absolutely fantastic! She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the very beginning, she was communicative, punctual, and made me feel completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond by making sure my dog got plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog walker. I'll definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ava, for taking such wonderful care of my pup!”
About: I've owned and watched dogs since I was 10 years old. From small puppies, elderly dogs, to dogs huge as a mastiff and small as a chihuahua. Whether they be my own, friends, or families I held dear, being around and caring for dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I've fed them, bathed them, given them medicine, and have always been relable. Currently, I am mostly self-employed & studying for a Real Estate license. I do work mornings at a horse barn, and have a contract gig working occasional weekends with a D&D-styled Bed & Breakfast. Thankfully those shifts are scheduled months in advance and, for barn work, typically wrap up around 11-Noon. :) I'm always willing to give dogs the ample affections and pets they need! I'm super attentive to when they need to go outside/take a walk, have their food right on schedule, have some playtime, or whenever they just geniunely need attention and love. I honestly do it everyday for my own dogs. So I'll have no trouble giving them the same needs I give my precious wee babies.

“Renee was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! You can tell how much she loves dogs and how connected to them she is. She was communicative leading up to the stay and gave a lot of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. It was such a peace of mind knowing our dog was in good care and having a great time in Renee’s care. Highly recommend her!”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“Ellen was just wonderful and I know my dog was in good hands while we were gone. She got to run and play and hike on the farm and Ellen sent pictures and videos. Will absolutely use Ellen again to watch our Bella girl!”
“Olivia was great with my lab Daisy! Daisy has exhibited separation anxiety in the past when I have been gone for a while but Olivia was very patient with her. She has 2 small dogs of her own which probably helped too. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times as well. Also she did a good job of keeping me up to date by daily sending me pictures and videos. All in all I would definitely recommend Olivia for all your dog sitting needs.”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“We had a great experience with Nicole taking care of our pug, Memo, for about a week. She was super nice and easy to work with from the start. From the meet and greet, we knew Memo was going to love her. She kept us updated every day on how Memo was doing, and we really like the photos and videos she sent. It really made it a lot easier being away from him. You could tell right away that Memo was comfortable and happy with her and her husband. They treated him like their own and made sure he got plenty of attention and walks. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.”
“Our dog loves Jennifer. Every time we book her to watch our dog, he gets so excited to see her. She constantly sends photos to update us on how our pup is doing. We can always rely on her to take great care of our dog.”
“Nat & Ally were excellent with my girl. They were very accepting when I needed to change the dates several times. They sent lots of pictures so I could see my girl and how comfortable she was, particularly during a thunderstorm which she hates. I will definitely be booking with them in the future!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I love animals, as they are the most loving and authentic little beings. I’ve always had dogs and have taken care of family/friends/neighbors’ dogs when needed. I offer boarding, walks, a fenced in yard and socialization with my children and my own pets. Your pup will be in good hands and loved! My household always has an adult home for walks or ability to go out in the yard at anytime. We pop in and out on sports practice days in the evenings and for games on the weekends. Never more than 2 hours at a time. I have a large fenced in yard, can crate your pup and can offer walks, the ability to sit or lay on furniture, socialization for my kids, and socialization for my dog and other pets
“Lottie Dotti appears to have had the best time - I know this because she has been sleeping now for the last 24 hrs 😂 played hard!! I appreciate all the photos and videos so I know my baby is doing well and happy. Will definitely use again!!”
About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years. I'm experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and everything in between, including any dog size petite to massive! I can administer medicine as well. We have a home about 4 blocks from Baker Park in a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks, and we have a fully fenced in backyard as well. I work from home M-F 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. Occasionally I may step out for dinner with my wife or friends. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. My schedule is fairly flexible during working hours, so I can take our furry friend out for many breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
“Emily was great and handled our 100 pound Doberman effortlessly. I never felt so comfortable going out of town. Our Doberman Zeus is cautious of new people and immediately loved Emily. She took him on long walks everyday and sent pictures. We will definitely be boarding him again with Emily.”
“I can’t tell you how amazing Linda is. She has so much love and compassion for the animals she watches. Tons of updates and pictures during the stay. She even went above and beyond to make a trip to our veterinarian to pick up meds for our dog. I highly recommend her services”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for years. I previously worked at a veterinary hospital, where I cared for pets in a kennel setting and assisted with appointments, giving me experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and also currently furthering my vet med education. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am a stay at home (expecting) mom, and my schooling is also done at home. You can rest assured knowing that your fur baby will get constant attention and affection I have ample house space and yard space for your fur baby. I also make walks apart of my daily habit so you can rest assured knowing your baby will get all the exercise they could dream of
“Jennifer is amazing! She was caring and her family loved my dog during his stay as my family would love him. Definitely recommend her services and she’s in my corner for another pet stay if I have to go somewhere in the future with no hesitation.”
“Robin is a rockstar dog lover! She took excellent care of our two french bulldogs... she even let them sleep with her! She was very accommodating to our schedule and understood that we would need flexibility in terms of pick up time since we were not sure how traffic would be. I will definitely use her again.”
“Casey was awesome with Coda! She had a great time hanging out and running around with her dog Jojo. She’s already been sleeping most of the day just from all the fun she had there.”
“Nancy was amazing. It was clear from the way she interacts with my dog Kyle that she loves and understands dogs. Nancy was able to quickly establish a strong bond with Kyle. Nancy is a great communicator, keeping me updated on Kyle was doing and including numerous pics. I highly recommend Nancy and will be using her for all future puppy sitting needs. Oh yeah, Kyle gives her 4 paws up🐾🐾”
