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.

“We had the best experience working with Jenny. It was our first time working with her for a trip where we wouldn’t have cell phone service for the entirety. We didn’t need to worry at all because Jenny took great care of our cats. We have four cats with specific eating instructions, one of whom hides from strangers. Jenny followed our notes exactly with no issues and got our scaredy cat to be her friend! We will continue to use Jenny for all of our pet sitting needs. Thank you, Jenny!”

We are repeat customers for drop-in visits and know that we can trust Raven to keep our home safe and our pets loved and cared for. Thanks Raven!”
About: I understand that leaving your pet alone can be extremely stressful, but there’s no need to worry! I absolutely love animals and I have the patience to work with any - big or small! I promise to provide the same level of care to your pet as I would my own. I am a high school teacher, so I am currently available only on weekends. However, for the holidays and during summer break I typically stay local so if you are going to be traveling please take me into consideration! I am very comfortable working with dogs in their homes. If they need to be walked, I can easily handle putting on a leash and picking up after them. I am also comfortable handling any toys, food, or medicine your pet may need.
“Kim was awesome. She came through on short notice and helped put my mind at ease taking care of my buddy. Will definitely try and rebook and also pass along the great service.”
“Kassidy was awesome! She checked on my two kitties frequently while we were away for our honeymoon. She sent me pictures of them during each visit and made sure they were happy and healthy while we were away. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have two cats of my own, so I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are when it comes to their care. I’m comfortable with different personalities — from playful and curious cats to shy or senior cats who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, litter box cleanliness, and making sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Every cat I care for is treated with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: Hi, I'm Laurie! If you're looking for someone who will care for your cat with patience, kindness, and attention to detail, I'd love to help. I've always believed that every cat is unique. Some are playful and social, while others prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. I take the time to learn your cat's personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Whether your cat enjoys interactive play, lap time, brushing, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'll provide the care they need at their own pace. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, refresh water, scoop litter boxes, administer simple medications if needed, and make sure your cat receives plenty of attention and affection. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos after each visit. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your cat is in caring, dependable hands. As a mature, reliable caregiver, I take pride in being someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I understand that building trust takes time, and I'm committed to providing the kind of compassionate, dependable care that keeps both cats and their owners happy. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family!
“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.”

About: Hi! I'm Laurie, and I'd love to care for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover, I know that pets are family. Whether you're away for the day or taking a longer trip, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own familiar environment, and if needed, in my home. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine. I believe every dog and cat deserves plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and gentle care. I take the time to get to know your pet so they feel relaxed and happy while you're away. You can count on me to: Follow your pet's routine and feeding schedule carefully. Provide plenty of love, attention, walks, and playtime. Keep water bowls full, administer simple medications if needed, and clean up after your pet. Send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. Treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved pet is a big decision. My goal is to earn that trust through reliability, kindness, and open communication from our first meeting through every visit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. I'd be honored to provide the loving care they deserve while you're away! I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests when my schedule permits. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), exercise routines, and any house rules you have for your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible, since familiar surroundings help them feel safe and relaxed. I'll make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of affection, and the attention they need. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure and tidy while you're away. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll be welcomed into a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they'll receive plenty of individual attention, supervision, and love. I'm currently in the process of building a secure fenced yard so dogs will soon have a safe, enclosed space to run, play, and explore under my supervision. Until the fence is complete, all outdoor time will be closely supervised and dogs will remain safely leashed. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were part of my own family. I also keep pet owners informed with regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: my goal is to provide the best pet, dog and cat sitting service. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding your cat or talking to your bird as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving details of caring for your cats, dogs, birds and even chickens! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one Asheville cat owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my cats as well as I do after a few short days.”
“Very welcoming home to our puppy. It was a last minute thing and she was able to accommodate us. Prompt response and sent us a photo update on how Akira is doing. I highly recommend her.”

As a passionate dog lover, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring and experienced hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I am home all day, I can provide consistent attention, companionship, and supervision. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddle sessions, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate their needs and maintain their regular routines throughout their stay. With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every guest. I have a fenced yard and I specialize in small breeds only, which helps ensure comfortable interactions and a stress-free atmosphere. I carefully follow each dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by their owners. My goal is for every dog to feel secure, happy, and treated like a member of the family while they’re in my care.
About: I have recently relocated to Frederick, Maryland from California after recently retiring & wanting to be closer to family <3 I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits, including senior and special-needs pets and animals requiring medications. 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. 🐶😺🐰🏡🐾
“My dog had a great time! Came home tired and exhausted, slept all night! I received status updates during the day that Made me feel super comfortable. Would definitely rip recommend!”
“Overall, I am so happy I found Alex and Christina. They were very accommodating to our pup. He is a bit anxious but A&C we’re very understanding and knew how to manage his behavior and make him feel comfortable. Our dog is on the smaller side and he was in a house with bigger dogs, but they all took their time before I left him to make him feel acclimated with his new daycare mates. I would definitely recommend these folks, they have a great professional demeanor and are very communicative and welcoming. Their space was clean and their dogs seemed very happy and healthy! This place is a great alternative to big chain kennels, we thought about Dogtopia- but they seemed so overcrowded and the dogs just seemed stressed out. Six stars for Alex and Christina! Thank you!”
“Dropped Boone off to spend the day prior to Lauren watching him while I’m out of town. Lauren took great care of Boone and was very attentive based on the feedback. Boone loved the backyard, playing with toys and With Zoe and Cola. The pics sent were great as well. Booking another day for Boone before his longer stay! Definitely recommend Lauren.”
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
“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!”
About: Need an energetic, kind-hearted pet care provider you can truly trust? You just found her! I can't wait to meet your adorable fur baby!

Whether your pet is a high-energy adventurer, a professional nap enthusiast, or a shy little soul who needs patience and reassurance, I’m here for them. Pet care isn’t just something I do on Rover.

“Lauren is such a great walker. She has been very prompt and takes a lot of pictures and gives great feedback. Our dog Gus has had a great time with Lauren and we hope to keep up with his daily walks with Lauren and potentially use her as a sitter for our dog and cat in the future!”
“First would like to say great app it was my first time ever using an application like this. Second, Jennifer was great with zoro as a new puppy he is a handful, but Jennifer was able to walk and play with zoro. She was even able to clean his mess and provide water for zoro.”
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.
About: I love playing with dogs and taking them for walks or runs. I’ll make sure they have the best days ever! Can’t wait to meet so many dogs. I have off on Thursdays and Sundays and would love to fill my day by spending time with your pups!! I’m available any times during those days. I can come to your house and be sure to watch the dogs all day if needed and make sure they are walked, feed and taken out to the bathroom.
“This is our 2nd time using Kim and she is always excellent with our pup. She provided updates including pictures. Not only is Kim very friendly and personable, she is reliable and flexible which works well for us. Highly recommend and will certainly use her again!”
“Devon was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, who need some training and are very reactive. He was very patient with them and I loved that he sent a rover card so I could see what all he did with them during their walk. I would highly recommend him!”
“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.”

“We went on a week long vacation and they treated him like he was one of their own! He was sad to come home. We got daily updates and are extremely blessed they treated him so well. We were very skeptical and nervous about leaving our dog for the first time but are extremely happy We chose Martin and John. We will definitely use them a Again and recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Brisket got to play with other dogs every day and he was so well socialized and so cared for. I would highly recommend Ellen to any others that need to board a dog for a week. I will definitely be using Ellen again.”
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.
“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She has a love for dogs that was immediately obvious by the way she interacted with my dog Maestro. I received frequent updates with heart warming pictures and felt connected the entire time. I would 100% recommend and will be rebooking Samantha for any future needs.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Anna took such great care of our German shepherd, was communicative and understanding when we had an unexpected travel change. She was more than accommodating and went above and beyond to help given our travel issue. Anna’s house is great for any dog, her dogs are very sweet and her family is awesome. I cannot recommend enough and we will book with her again 1000%”
About: I have recently relocated to Frederick, Maryland from California after recently retiring & wanting to be closer to family <3 I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits, including senior and special-needs pets and animals requiring medications. 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. 🐶😺🐰🏡🐾
“They watched our dog for 10 days and were so friendly and accommodating. Receiving daily pictures and updates gave us complete peace of mind. We will definitely use their services again!”
“We were looking for a sitter on short notice, and Rachel was very accommodating; facilitating a meet and greet right away. We absolutely loved Oliver, and him and Lana got along right away. Lana had a great weekend away, and we could not be happier. Lots of updates on our trip, many many cute photos. Absolutely would recommend.”
“I was a first time boarder and Kathleen and her family helped me and my pup to be at ease in this new space. The photos and updates throughout the stay were amazing. I can definitely see that my dog felt comfortable and welcome. I will definitely return as a customer.”
About: Hi! I'm Laurie, and I'd love to care for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover, I know that pets are family. Whether you're away for the day or taking a longer trip, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own familiar environment, and if needed, in my home. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine. I believe every dog and cat deserves plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and gentle care. I take the time to get to know your pet so they feel relaxed and happy while you're away. You can count on me to: Follow your pet's routine and feeding schedule carefully. Provide plenty of love, attention, walks, and playtime. Keep water bowls full, administer simple medications if needed, and clean up after your pet. Send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. Treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved pet is a big decision. My goal is to earn that trust through reliability, kindness, and open communication from our first meeting through every visit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. I'd be honored to provide the loving care they deserve while you're away! I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests when my schedule permits. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), exercise routines, and any house rules you have for your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible, since familiar surroundings help them feel safe and relaxed. I'll make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of affection, and the attention they need. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure and tidy while you're away. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll be welcomed into a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they'll receive plenty of individual attention, supervision, and love. I'm currently in the process of building a secure fenced yard so dogs will soon have a safe, enclosed space to run, play, and explore under my supervision. Until the fence is complete, all outdoor time will be closely supervised and dogs will remain safely leashed. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were part of my own family. I also keep pet owners informed with regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
