“Adrienne took great care of our dog Rosie! She was very responsive and sent us daily updates, pictures and a video. Adrienne's dog Cooper and Rosie had fun playing together. We will definitely book Adrienne again. Simon and Roberta”
“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!”
“Chris & Gerry are simply THE BEST! I couldn’t say enough great things about them. So many beautiful updates every day while on vacation with heartwarming messages and adorable pics of our little Lexi. I was completely relaxed my entire vacation knowing Lexi was in such great hands! Can’t thank you enough!”
“Renee was an amazing sitter!! My pup can be both a little shy and very energetic but she did a great job taking care of him. She was always friendly and prompt in her communication and I’d trust her with any dog!”
“Ellen is terrific. Her beautiful spacious farm provides a great change for dogs like mine who are inside an urban house. She is kind, thoughtful, and flexible.. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“This was the first experience leaving our dog at another home while we went on vacation. John’s family were a lifesaver and some of the kindest, warmest pet lovers you will find! They went above and beyond with communication, consistently keeping us updated with lovely photos and videos. Their home was super welcoming and our dog loved his stay! Would highly recommend John to any pet owner in need of care in the Haslet area!”
“Rachel and Jason were wonderful and accommodating hosts for our Aussie. I appreciate that they took the time for a meet-and-greet up front to make sure our dog would get along with theirs, and they were patient with her when she arrived very excited and barky. Also got to see another dog that they were hosting, and Rachel was super sweet with him. I'd go as far to say she's a dog whisperer! We received regular updates and photos to put our minds at ease. Would definitely leave our pup with them again.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond in every aspect possible. When you try out a new app like Rover, it can be very scary to entrust your baby with someone. Even once you find someone who seems to click with your puppy, you just help they at least feed them, but thankfully, I hit the jackpot! Jennifer was not just a care giver, she loved my Roxie, and I was a bit surprised my dog was happy to see me since she had such a wonderful time with Jennifer. I was sent several updates daily. She a godsend!!! We will be using Jennifer again next month. If you are looking for a genuine and caring person, you need to look no further.”
“Stephanie was great. I appreciated the pics and check in sine it was his first time with a sitter. Reddy must have had a great time bc he slept for two days!! Thank you”
“Matt was super easy to work with and took good care of our Aussie, who was hesitant to leave him when we went to pick her up! It’s so nice to find a dog sitter who works from home like we do. Highly recommend Matt.”
“Iesha is the best. I am so comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She truly take care of him, as if he was her fur baby. She is accommodating and very caring. She send pics of your fur baby without asking. She is truly amazing🩷”
“We can’t give a more glowing review of the job Rene did watching our four cats. She took amazing care of them for the three days we were showing our house. She sent regular updates on how they were all doing and gave them lots of love and attention. We can’t recommend her more. Thank you so much Rene. We will be back!”
“Thank you Miranda for taking such great care of my corgi. The regular updates with photos were a great comfort knowing my 4 footed friend was safe and having a great time!”
“Justin and Kacy were fantastic with lil Rob. This was our first time leaving him with someone for an extended stay and they did great. They provided updates daily along with pictures and made sure he got the attention he craved. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Dorian was great with our pups, and I can tell the dogs had a nice time. We were In a pinch to find a sitter since both of our boarding facilities were full for the weekend and Dorian made the process of booking very easy. We weren’t aware there would be other dogs in the house at the same time but our dogs are friendly and had no issues. Would be good to give a heads up in case other pet owners were to have a problem with that. We would use him again!”
“Once again, my puppies enjoyed their stay with Priscilla. She would always send us updates, as well as, pictures of our dogs to let us know how they were doing. Thank you!”
“We could not have asked for more in a pup sitter for our Havanese. Rina and Alex are genuine dog lovers and cared for our pup as if he was their own. Also, my pup loved playing with Gigi. We have used Rina twice and recommend her without reservation. I often hesitate to travel because I dread leaving my little guy behind. Such a relief to find a "second home" for our pup!”
“Samson loved Marne & John! This was our first time leaving him alone and this family gave us the security that he would be ok. The pictures of him playing and being loved is what gave us that peace of mind while being away. Definitely recommended”

I currently have a French Bulldog, four cats, and a rabbit of my own, so caring for multiple animals with different personalities, routines, and needs is part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding and care instructions, providing walks and enrichment, and recognizing changes in an animal’s behavior or health. I’ve also volunteered with animal shelters in both California and North Carolina. I worked as a first responder for almost 14 years, I’m dependable, trustworthy, safety-conscious, and take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pets very seriously. I’m retired with a completely flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be accommodated throughout my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays for boarding, doggy daycare, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I provide a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I have a fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of indoor space, including separate areas when a visiting pet needs their own quiet space away from my animals. I’m experienced with medications, senior and special-needs pets, and will closely follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions. I will treat your animals as if they were my own while I am trusted with their care. As a retired first responder, safety, responsibility, trust, and attention to detail are extremely important to me. 🐶😺🐰🏡🐾

“Sophia was incredible. She came to our house and shone as an amazing pet sitter. She had time, experience with pet sitting and she asked all the right questions. She played with our cats and even picked up a bag of chocolate that was on the floor for us which would have been a big hazard. Sophia went above and beyond and did the litter and our cats are very picky. I feel overall the cats were well loved and cared for while we were away which is a great blessing and I’m so glad we booked Sophia to take care of our pet needs. I recommend her 10/10. Thank you Sophia!!!”
“Shelby was such a pleasure to work with on short notice. She took excellent care of my boys and even got my scaredy cat to come out of hiding. Highly recommend and would definitely work with her again!”
“Adrienne took great care of our cat for 4 days while we were away on vacation. She regularly sent us updates, photos and even a video! Also, everything was left very clean despite our cat’s continuous efforts to through all his litter out of the box :). We highly recommend Adrienne and would love to use her as a cat sitter in the future! Many thanks to Adrienne!”
“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of our little Theo while we were out of the country for a week. Theo had a great time with her too. Will definitely hire her again in the future.”
“Rose was great! First time with our very skittish cat "Roo" and she took to Rose right away. She clearly has a soft and caring heart for cats. Rose was prompt, communicative and very professional. Will be using her again in a couple of weeks when we are away for a few days.”
“Kim was AMAZING! We have such a shy cat and he warmed right up to her on day one of her drop-in visits. She left very detailed messages and great photos and I truly would not trust anyone else to watch our cat while we’re away. Highly recommend! Thank you, Kim!”
“The dogs were well taken care of and so happy in all the updates! I will definitely be rebooking if/when we need a dog sitter. Sarah is very responsive, communicative, and was great with the dogs.”
“Delores, is the best sitter I have ever had for my fur babies and maybe even my non fur babies! She is thoughtful, smart and communicates well! We are very pleased!”
“Not only did Kristy take care of our cats while we were away, she offered PEACE OF MIND with daily updates. Her kind energy must have been felt by our kitties, too, because unlike other times, they ate well and were less anxious when we returned. I will be reaching out to her again. 😻😻😻”
“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!”
“Emily helped us on short notice and did a ton of extra things during the service window. A huge storm blew in while we were away and Emily even made an extra visit to check in on our cats. We appreciate Emily's help so much, the pictures and videos and quick responses to our questions as well!”
“Leslie was amazing with my cats while I was away for a week. She was always punctual and sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my cats were well cared for, and I came home to happy pets. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“I was nervous about using Rover but Maureen is top-notch! She actually does drop-on visits for my cat because I work long hours. She has loads of experience, and will get back to you very quickly. She's very sweet and has a real love for dogs and cats. My cat warmed up to her nicely and I look forward to having Maureen tend to her and any other animals I mat adopt in the near future. If you need a sitter she is certainly one you can trust.”
“Anhelika was great! She’s a very experienced pet caretaker and was super sweet to work with. She was flexible with our needs and was willing to bring in our packages and take out the trash. Thanks for your help Anhelika! Would absolutely book again.”
“Devon was great with my kitten with very prompt check-ins. He also provided pictures and plenty of details for each visit. My kitten appeared to enjoy spending time with Devon and he appeared to enjoy interacting with her. Would highly recommend.”
“Emily is so good with Bob, my 5-month old puppy. And I’m so happy that she and Bob had been able to develop a good relationship for when I need help with potty/play breaks during the day.”

Our dog is crate trained and can be kept separated based on the client’s preference.
“Jennifer did an amazing job with Archer. He wasn’t feeling to well and she was very attentive to his needs. Jennifer is such great person and Archer loves staying with her!”
“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!”
“This was Jax's first time with Nat and Ally and it was fantastic. They kept me updated most of the day with very fun-loving photos of the other dogs playing...Jax was smiling in every photo or just chillin'. The icing on the cake was the family's son handing me a drawing of Jax's name in big beautiful letters. I will definitely be sending Jax here again! :)”

As a nurse, being responsible and attentive comes naturally to me, and I’d love to give your furry family member the same loving care I give my own! 🐶🐱❤️ I'm currently working as a full-time nurse, but I only work 3 days a week which gives me plenty of time in the rest of the week to take care of your furry pets!

About: I’ve had the pleasure of raising a dog from 9 weeks old to his current 13 years. I’ve been there every step of the way, from puppyhood to adulthood and senior years. Plus, my dog tore his ACL, so I know firsthand the challenges of keeping your pet safe and out of harm’s way, along with the need for special care and instructions. I am currently a senior student athlete in college with a flexible schedule. I wanted to find a part-time job that I would actually enjoy, and I have always loved being near animals. Coming back home to my dog is always the highlight of my trip, so being near dogs and getting to see the joy on their faces has always made me smile. I think pets are happiest when they’re in their own space, so I’d rather work at someone else’s home. Plus, getting to know the dog and the pet owners will really help everyone feel more comfortable.
“Kim is so great with our Parker! She’s very reliable, takes him on good walks to get him some exercise, and cares so much for him. She also always takes very nice pictures!”
About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 7 years old. Dogs mostly, but also cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, and fish. Now I am a mature, reliable professional who loves pets as much as ever, but unfortunately my living situation is not ideal to have my own right now. I look forward to connecting with folks who need an assist in caring for their animals and loving them as if they were my own. My schedule is somewhat flexible with plenty of early morning and afternoon availability, as well as evenings opening up at 9 or 10 pm. This is true 7 days a week with 2 rotating days off each week. I typically have one 3-day weekend available each month. My place is not conducive to have your pets stay. But I am happy to come to you, whether for a walk, a feeding, playtime, some combination of all of the above. I also welcome the opportunity to stay over in your home if the need arises and trust has been established.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, as well as a few cats, for years in a more casual setting. I usually sit for friends, family friends, and neighbors, usually through check-ins, and only a few times with boarding in my own home. I have two dogs of my own, ages 5 and 9mo who were both raised from puppies, so I have basic puppy training and grooming skills. I also have experience with dogs who need regular medication or who have specialized/specific diets. I am open to caring for any pets except birds, special needs/sensitive reptiles, and insects. I am currently a student at Penn State and I am looking for summer job in my hometown. I would most likely be free at almost any time during the week and would be open to over night stays as well with prior notice. I would be open to set a meeting with you and your pet before house sitting or check-in dates to discuss schedules and specifics as well as to meet your pet. I am currently unable to sit at my own house. My contact info will be provided and I will be available for call at all points during my care for your pet.
About: I used to work for a pet care company called Pet and Home Care. I was a traveling pet care agent for them and I am trained to take care of all kinds of pets. I even took classes through them on what to do if a pet has a medical emergency. I grew up around animals and have a deep love for them and I’m excited to work with your pets :) I’m currently a part time student at FCC and I’m looking for extra work. I have time everyday for visits. I have open availability all day Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday I give fresh water and treats every visit (if treats are allowed). Plenty of pets and attention. I can administer medication and follow special dietary plans. I have a leash belt I use when walking dogs that keeps the dog hooked to me for extra control and ensures they can’t pull the leash out of my hand.
About: My name is Emily and I love dogs! I've had dogs my whole life and just recently adopted one of my own! He is a complete sweet heart and loves all dogs so is happy to have a buddy around! I work from home so will be able to be with your dog all day so they can go out whenever they want and get multiple walks a day. Dogs will be allowed to go wherever they please in my apartment and are welcome to sleep on the couch, bed, floor, or wherever they feel the most comfortable. There's never been a dog I have not loved so all breeds and ages are welcome! I’m currently working from home so I’ll be available at all times for your dog. I wake up early so they’ll be sure to get plenty of walks during the day. I’ve watched many pets before and am always sure to hide any products that could be harmful to the dog as well as anything they could chew or eat that wouldn’t be good. I also always keep the dog on the leash when outside (if it’s not a fenced in area) of the house since I never know how they’ll act with a new person so don’t want to risk them running off.
About: Cats, dogs, critters and reptiles welcome! I have a wide experience of cats and dogs of all ages, from babies to seniors. Rodents, lizards, turtles are also something I’m familiar with! 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.
About: While I’m newer to professional pet care, I have plenty of love and attention to give your furry family member! I’m happy to walk, play with, cuddle, and care for your dog as if they were my own. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and send plenty of updates and pictures along the way. My goal is simple: you feel comfortable while you’re away, and your pup gets a new friend who is genuinely excited to see them. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s usual routine whenever possible, whether they need an energetic walk or just some company and attention while their person is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, respect your pet’s normal routine and boundaries, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates during visits so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was a teenager. In this house we have fur babies, not pets and we take getting our daily dose of fresh air seriously. Our home is a safe and fun place for your babies to play and relax just as they would in their home. Currently my schedule is very flexible; let me know your needs and I’ll do my absolute best to meet them! I care for my pets every day and have no problem ensuring yours are cared for too! I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood, have a fenced in back yard, and walking distance from a dog park. Tell me what works best for your dog (how many walks a day and when, any quirky habits, what works best for feeding) any thing that will help me care for your baby as I care for mine.
“Nancy is fantastic. She takes my dog for a walk multiple times a week. She's very reliable and gives me feedback on my pet after each walk. She's on time and keeps my mind at ease to focus on work when I'm at work. Nancy and my dog really seem to enjoy their time together each day. I would definitely recommend Nancy to anyone needing a kind and responsible person to care for their pet.”
“David did a great job with our dog and house. His prices were fair. His communications were timely. He was kind, respectful and professional. We're planning on using him again for the next dog walking job.”

“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.

I worked as a first responder for almost 14 years, I’m dependable, trustworthy, safety-conscious, and take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pets very seriously. I’m retired with a completely flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be accommodated throughout my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays for boarding, doggy daycare, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I provide a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I have a fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of indoor space, including separate areas when a visiting pet needs their own quiet space away from my animals. I’m experienced with medications, senior and special-needs pets, and will closely follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions. I will treat your animals as if they were my own while I am trusted with their care. As a retired first responder, safety, responsibility, trust, and attention to detail are extremely important to me. 🐶😺🐰🏡🐾

About: I’ve mainly taken care of my own, and close family cats and dogs, but in the recent year or two I’ve helped my friend who uses rover walk dogs. I currently have full availability, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings, recurring schedules, weekends, holidays, and extended stays. I'm flexible, dependable, and committed to providing reliable, attentive care whenever your pet needs me. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and maintain a calm, secure environment. My sister has a cat who is not comfortable around unfamiliar cats, so I am unable to host cats in my home. However, I am happy to provide care for dogs or care for cats in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I will always follow your pet's routine, provide regular updates, and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own.
About: Ive had pets of my own and work with animals through vet hospital. I love cuddling, playing, and going on walks with pets. I am open to assist with giving medication for doggies who need extra care. I will happily send over pics of your pet during visits. I'm currently part time at a pet hospital. Availability can vary, just message me and we can try to work something out. On days I work usually I'm available in the evenings. I can offer boarding if needed. I do not have a fenced yard, I like to take pets out on walks for potty multiple times a day. I have 1 dog ( Wilbur ) + 2 cats (Phineas and Senu ). Wilbur is very friendly and would love the company of your pet. He is a tree walker coonhound Cats can be separated if needed when boarding your pet. For check ins - I can come over to make sure your pets have their food + water set. If meds need to be given I'm open to doing that. I'll also spend some time with them to offer some love and make sure they have some time outdoors. If owner allows I can take your dog out hiking / extended walks or to a park.
“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.”
About: Throughout my life I have always had either a cat or dog as pets and have always enjoyed taking care of them. As a dog owner myself, I have a deep appreciation and respect for all breeds which allows me to really bond with them. My patient manner allows them to become comfortable with me very quickly and really provides for a better experience for both myself and the pet being looked after. I have taken care of many different types of breeds and sizes which allows me the knowledge of taking great care of them so you have the peace of mind that your baby is well loved and cared for while away. From puppies to seniors, I am able to handle them all. I am also not shy to dietary restrictions and specific instructions you may have. Hi, I'm Hannah I'm a Frederick local and lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they're my own. A little about me: · Proud Frederick local — I know and love this community. · Pet parent to a Boxer-Border Collie mix, so I'm no stranger to energy, smarts, and big personalities · Animal lover through and through — I've never met a pet I didn't adore. Why book with me: · Trustworthy — you can count on me to be reliable and honest · Responsible — I take your pet's routine, safety, and happiness seriously · Friendly — I'll make sure you and your pet both feel comfortable and cared for · Respectful — of your home, your pet's needs, and your instructions My promise: Your animals will be treated like my own — with love, patience, and plenty of attention. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine, so your pets get consistent, reliable attention. I'm up early every morning — no sleeping in around here. My own dog is usually the reason, and I wouldn't have it any other way. That early start means morning walks, feedings, and drop-in visits are easy for me to work into my day. I'm currently in between jobs and heading back to school, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of open time during the day. Pet care is a great fit for this season of my life — it works around my classes, and it gives me something I genuinely enjoy doing with my time. I'm married, and together we share our home with our own dog — a Boxer-Border Collie mix. We're also hoping to add another dog to the family soon, so I understand the excitement and the responsibility that comes with a full house of animals. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening visit, I have the time, the flexibility, and the heart for it. Your pets will get the same care, attention, and routine I give my own. I have a fenced in backyard, walking trails, and plenty of space in my home to host your furry friends. Security system is also active and I am home throughout the day.
