“Fantastic time was had by all! Brianna is a warm soul who knows dogs, detailed, and observant! I looked forward to her message updates and pictures of the pups while i was away on a trip.”
“My pup Topaz had the best time with Ellen. Ellen took time with Topaz and made it fun for her. Since Topaz is a senior dog, she is very sensitive to her environment, and she fit in with the other dogs as well. I will be bringing her back on a regular basis now!”
“Renee was very easy to work with! My dog seemed to enjoy her time with Renee. Renee was flexible, kind, and easy to talk to. We will definitely book with her again!!!”

Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”

“Jon and Mary took great care of our Faye. We haven't left our puppy with anyone before so we were very nervous. They put us at ease by talking to us for a while about their rover experience. They have two adorable, friendly, fun loving labs that played with our little Faye. Their family all pitched in to keep Faye happy and active. We will definitely be using Jon and Mary again. Highly recomend!”

“Rodney truly loves animals. He put me at ease, answering all my questions quickly. My dogs have never been boarded, one is 13 and the other 3. We initially did a meet and greet and I knew they would be in amazing hands. We did an overnight and they never looked back when he walked them into the house. Lol Put my mind at ease. Definitely sending them to Rodney and Marissa again. 😊”

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!”
“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.”

Cat caregivers near you - Linwood
About: All my life I’ve grown up around dogs, rabbits, fish, and most recently cats! So I’m no stranger to the cuddly, silly, and sometimes unpredictable behaviors pets can throw your way. I have experience volunteering at the Carroll County Humane Society working in the cat room to socialize kitties, and in the dog area providing them with enrichment activities! As a longtime pet lover and owner I understand that every animal is unique and has their own quirks and personalities, and I’m capable of learning your pet and giving them the best care I can! I always treat my clients homes and pets with care and respect. I’m sure to clean up after myself and the pets. I’m not just a pet sitter I’m also a house sitter so I’m willing to get the mail, take trash out, etc…
“This was my first time using a professional pet sitter so I didn’t know what to expect. I came home to happy and healthy cats and that’s all I could have asked for from Dollie.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for the past 30 years. In the past 10 years I have enjoyed taking care of my senior Beagles and fostering! I'm off for the summer so just about any day works! In the fall, my schedule will allow Mon- Fri after 3pm. Can't wait to help out! I can help you in your home with feeding, walking and playing with your pet. If your pet just needs snuggles, I'm there for it.
“Max was great! We felt at ease knowing our fur babies were in good hands while we were away. He exceeded our expectations and his love for animals is palpable 🥰 we will definitely rebook!”
“Amazing!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lauren! She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared for our cat. We appreciated the updates and photos—it really put us at ease while we were away.😊 I’d absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter. 10/10!”
“Jonathan and Jen did a great job! Jen communicated with me regularly, and even though my situation was a little unusual, she worked around it easily. They're really organized and great with the animals; even took extra time with my one social cat who just needed some love.”
“Abby did a fantastic job taking care of our kitty Marbles and our apartment while we were away. She always sent us pictures of her visits and made sure that Marbles was given lots of attention and cuddle/play time. You can definitely tell that Abby is an animal lover and would take excellent care of any animal. We will definitely be using Abby again in the future for any sitting needs!”
“Kelly did a fantastic job of taking care of my cats while we were away! She took great pictures of everything while she was visiting, contacted me right away when she had questions about some things, which I greatly appreciated, and even pulled packages and mail inside so it wouldn't pile up while we were away. She's super reliable, very friendly, and so easy to communicate with! Highly recommend!”
“Brooke did fantastic taking care of my cats while I was away! She made sure to keep me updated with pictures and messages of how they were doing. They loved their play time and treats while mom was away :) Thank you Brooke!”
“Phoebe did an excellent job with our two cats. She was very reliable and left detailed feedback of the visits as well as lots of pictures of the cats while she was there which made us feel very comfortable. Our one cat in particular (the shy one) really liked her which was especially great. We were very pleased with our experience.”
“Sofia did a great job with our two dogs while we were gone for the week. She sent pictures every time she was there. She communicated very well and did everything we asked of her. Will definitely rebook and recommend Sofia.”
“Jenna did an excellent job caring for our 3 fur babies while we were on an extended vacation! She was punctual, provided them so much love and play, and followed feeding and cleaning directions to a T! We were so comfortable having her in our home and entrusting the care of our babies to her. She even was kind enough to bring in our mail and to clean up an unexpected accident so well that we couldn't see any sign of it. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“I was so happy to have Meghan (and her girls) take care of our cat while we were on vacation. They are fantastic. I highly recommend Meghan for your pet sitting needs!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Linwood
“Lonnie and is pack are awesome! He watched our two pups for the day, they had so much fun and came exhausted. The care that Lonnie shows is exactly what we needed, provided updates throughout day which was a great surprise. We highly recommend him and will be using he again for sure.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine compassionate care I bring to ensuring your pet feels completely safe, loved, and understood while you are away. I focus on creating a gentle, stress-free environment tailored entirely to your furry friends’ comforting daily routines. Beyond dogs and cats, I have specialized experience with the delicate needs of small animals like rabbits, and would be more than happy to care for pets of any size! I am a recent GW grad and I have a very flexible schedule. Aside from doing occasional tutoring sessions throughout the week, I am home for the majority of the day and have the time to dedicate myself to taking care of your furry friend! When caring for pets in their own space, my primary goal is to maintain their established routine exactly as they know it to minimize anxiety. When a pet stays with me, they are welcomed into a structured, highly supervised, and pet-safe environment designed to feel like a second home. I love all animals and want to make them feel safe in any environment!
“Thank you James and Mary for watching my pups at a last minute’s notice. I appreciate your updates throughout the day. The pups told me they had a wonderful time! Wendy T”
“Lora is such a great sitter, so responsive and knows my dog well. She’s got a great location and even on days where she’s busy she’s often got a helping hand to make sure all dogs are taken care of”
“Vanessa is super friendly and was able to help me out pretty much last minute. She was very welcoming and had no worries about leaving our 7 month old pup with her. We were pleased to have a happy tired out pup when we picked him up. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have experience with very shy and reserved dogs to dogs with more personality than sense! I've worked with many different breeds, from doxins and Jack Russels to boxers, Staffies, and St Bernards, and dogs of all ages. I have experience with senior dogs, and dogs with many health issues, including seizures, surgery recovery, and dogs that need LOTS of medication. Whether they are clingy couch potatoes or would rather have their space, I have had them in my house! I currently work full time, but with a hybrid schedule, and would be able to be fully available for your pets when working from home and weekends. I have a fenced in yard with grass and lots of things to explore and observe. No other dogs in the house currently. Plenty of windows if your dog likes to supervise their surroundings, and plenty of dog toys and room to play inside. If your dog prefers smaller areas, the house is easily sectioned off for safe spaces to decompress, and there is room for a crate if that is what they want/need. Lots of walking trails through the neighborhood and woods for adventures.
About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I’ve learned that every pup is different and deserves care that’s just as unique as they are. For the past 7+ years, I’ve also been fostering dogs through local rescues. Helping dogs transition from uncertain beginnings into loving homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me experience with many different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. The idea of boarding dogs in my home came from a challenge I faced myself — finding a place that truly felt safe, loving, and comfortable for my own dogs when I had to go away. I wanted more than just a place for them to stay. I wanted them to feel cared for, understood, and treated like family. When your dog stays with me they will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime in a large, fully fenced yard, giving them space to run, explore, and burn off those zoomies. Whether your dog loves active play or relaxing cuddle time, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. We’re used to having dogs around and all the activity and responsibility that comes with them, so caring for pets feels like a normal part of everyday life. When we don’t have any extras here, the house actually feels a little too quiet—like something is missing! I want every pet in my home to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to keep their routine and familiar comforts as much as I can—if they sleep in the bed at home, they’re welcome in the bed here; if they love curling up on the couch, that’s where they’ll be. My goal is to make their stay feel like a vacation, not a kennel stay. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and right at home while their family is away.
About: I have over 45 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages as well as many other types of animals that have honored me with living with me over the years (cats, horses, guinea pigs, gecko, Madagascar hissing cockroach, parrots, flying squirrel, rabbits). My original dream was to become a vet so I have a background interning with veterinarian, working multiple years in a grooming and boarding facility and had my own very successful animal care and sitting business as a teenager. I have great nail trimming skills as well! Animals are naturally drawn to me and sense my love and respect for them. I work remotely so am pretty flexible with schedules. I also have taken the pet CPR course! I work remotely from home so am flexible in what I can offer. I feed my own pets multiple times a day and am able to monitor what is consumed. I also live in a beautiful community near parks for nice walks. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs who live next door who are always interested in playdates if desired. I work remotely so have flexibility in what I can offer clients. I do have a crate on premises if you do not have although I prefer (as do pets) for them to have their familiar one! There are friendly cats who live with me although I would likely gate off my kitchen / sunroom area where my office is so that I can supervise and ensure harmony with unknown pet if in my home.
“Rebecca's has been wonderful with our Baby Girl. I have never left Baby Girl with anyone due to her high level of separation anxiety but we are in Maryland for my husband's 50th High School Reunion so we didn't have a choice. I'm so glad that I chose Rebecca because she has been amazing. Baby Girl has had a good time at her house and went with Rebecca willingly Friday (her first day in doggy day care) which I knew Baby Girl sensed that Rebecca loved dogs and that she was safe with her sitter. Thank you Rebecca for putting us at ease and knowing that our fur baby is in good hands! I would highly recommend Rebecca and if the opportunity arises to book with Rebecca again we definitely will!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for many years and currently have two senior dogs of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency pets need to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and the extra care that comes with older dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and household rules. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their boundaries, especially with senior, shy, or anxious pets. When staying in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates so owners can feel comfortable while they’re away.

About: Loving, Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! With a lifetime of experience around animals, 2 years as a professional dog groomer, and two happy pups of my own, I provide compassionate and reliable care for your furry family members. Whether it's walks, grooming, or just quality time, your pet will feel right at home. As a mom of two animal-loving kids, caring for pets is naturally woven into our daily routine. Whether we’re out for a walk, heading to the park, or spending quiet time at home, animals are always part of the mix. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve—just like family. With us, your pet becomes part of an active, loving environment where they’re never just a task on a to-do list—they're a priority. I care for pets in my client's home the same way I care for my own—by being intentional, flexible, and tuned into their needs. I plan their day around the weather and our household routine to make sure they get the right balance of exercise, rest, and attention. For example, if I know we’ll be out for dinner, I make sure my puppy gets plenty of playtime earlier in the day so he’s relaxed and ready to rest while we’re away. On hot days, I shift our schedule to enjoy cooler morning hours outside before the heat sets in. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with thoughtful adjustments made to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy.
“Our dog, Zara, had a great doggy daycare experience today. We received many updates and photos throughout the day. Sandra and her family really seem to care about our dog.”

He also follows routines like waiting at the door without running out and positioning himself on command. I also rescued and cared for an abandoned dog in my home country for several months, making sure she was safe and well cared for. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s needs, whether it’s training, safety, or daily care. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I currently care for two pets, Zeus and Melody (a puppy), so I am actively involved in feeding, walking, training, and overall supervision every day.I make sure they follow a structured routine, including exercise, basic obedience training, and bathroom breaks.

“Kerri has been getting to know Patches prior to house- and dog-sitting for us for a week in June. Kerri is very responsible, very kind, and wonderful with our dog. Patches is a little skittish, particularly with new people, but he has warmed up to Kerri who plays with him, walks him, and pets him (he loves belly rubs). We feel very comfortable leaving him with Kerri.”
About: Ive been taking care of my neighbors, friends, and families pets for a little over 6 years now. Over the years I have learned many things about pets and how to calm them down and gently direct them in the right path. I also have lots of experience with senior dogs who need more attention to detail than younger dogs. Pet care fits into my daily routine quite well. Im a sophomore at frederick community college taking only one in person class, so my hours are almost always completely available! I am the dominant pet care taker in my home with two dogs (my angels). I care for pets in my clients home by greeting them and let them get to know me. If the client has a fenced in yard for me to take the dogs out and play thats amazing, but if not I take the dogs for nice walk to get them exercise and some entertainment. I am all for following directions so just let me know what you need and ill handle it!
About: I've been taking care of dogs and sometimes a cat that my family had had for many years. In 2017, I got my first dog, Rowan, who's in my profile picture with me. Sadly, he passed away in March of 2025, but I was there with him every step of the way and tried to give him the best home and all the love any pet deserves. I have experience with potty training and some basic command training using voice tone, treats, and a consistent routine. When my dog got older and got sick, I had to adjust certain ways of doing things to help him be more comfortable and get him to eat and take medications, so I'm a bit experienced with those situations, as well as with a healthy young pet. I'm available every day, except for Tuesday-Thursday. I'm good with dropping by every 2-4 hours or even staying over for an extended period of time to watch and take care of a pet. If it is a dog I'm caring for, then I'll give regular bathroom breaks and, at the same time, incorporate exercise time for the dog (may give more time if needed/requested). I'll also feed and check on the pet as requested and discussed with the pet owners to ensure that the needs of the pet and what is expected of me are satisfied. If it is a cat, I'll engage outside or inside as requested, feed and clean the litter box, and even give a little time with the animal to ensure they don't feel lonely, and then either leave or stay as requested.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, both dogs and cats. Many different breeds and sizes. I also occasionally dog sit for a family friend, and they have a puppy. i’m currently working as a server/bartender, so anything in Frederick would be ideal. But I live in Westminster so that would also be convenient. Willing to drive, but depends on my work schedule and how often you want me there. I currently live at home with my family and we have three dogs, one being a German Shepherd and the smallest being a Yorkie mix. And I have two cats of my own that I take care of solely, but five others in the house. And other miscellaneous pets.
“Lindsey is extremely chill and the exact perfect fit for our reactive Kevin. Kevin is excitable but as soon as he sees Lindsey he calms down and is ready for a walk. I highly recommend!!!”
About: I haven't been without a dog since I was just a little girl. I have rescued 4 of my own dogs and have fostered 11 dogs in just the last 3 years.

From drop ins and walks to overnight sitting. My own pets are treated as family members and I will treat anyone else's pet the same exact way. My motto has always been They are "puppers" no matter how old they are!
About: I've been around animals my whole life. From the littlest of fish, to the largest of cows and other farm animals! I have 3 dogs of my own, two Colorado mountain dogs and a medium pittie mix. I also have 4 geckoes (2 leopards, a giant Madagascar day gecko, and my newest boy, a harlequin crested gecko!). I've dog-sat little dogs, big dogs, disabled and elderly dogs, as well as young pups and households with multiple animals! I will give you the best care, whether it be for your pets, home, or more! Right now I work part-time at a bakery on Sundays, and I am also a full-time college student! Thankfully, my schedule is very flexible and my attention will solely be on your furry friends. I always make sure to keep my client's homes clean and organized, and pay special attention to any extra tasks I'm giving, such as watering plants (I have dozens of plant babies!), changing the temperature, emptying dehumidifiers, and retrieving packages. Anything you need, I will do to the best of my abilities! I like to update my clients daily on their pets to ease their mind.
About: Simply put, I truly LOVE animals. I have always enjoyed spending time with, and playing with pets of all kinds. I will put your pets' needs above my own. I'm currently working full time, but I am usually home when not at work. I live 5 minutes away from my job, so I will always be available for your fur babies even while working if I need to be. I care for pets the same way I would care for a baby. Their needs are always more important than mine, and I will always make time for them. They also get plenty of attention and play time! Please note: I will have to crate them while at work. This is the ONLY time they will be crated. I will also be home around 1:30 for lunch to take your pet out for a potty break.

“Fantastic time was had by all! Brianna is a warm soul who knows dogs, detailed, and observant! I looked forward to her message updates and pictures of the pups while i was away on a trip.”
“My pup Topaz had the best time with Ellen. Ellen took time with Topaz and made it fun for her. Since Topaz is a senior dog, she is very sensitive to her environment, and she fit in with the other dogs as well. I will be bringing her back on a regular basis now!”
“Renee was very easy to work with! My dog seemed to enjoy her time with Renee. Renee was flexible, kind, and easy to talk to. We will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Samantha is a good care taker. She knows how to care for my senior dog. Her house was great with Winston’s company and has a nice backyard full of good smells. She’s a great communicator and send updates frequently.”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Jon and Mary took great care of our Faye. We haven't left our puppy with anyone before so we were very nervous. They put us at ease by talking to us for a while about their rover experience. They have two adorable, friendly, fun loving labs that played with our little Faye. Their family all pitched in to keep Faye happy and active. We will definitely be using Jon and Mary again. Highly recomend!”
“They really showed a lot of love to my 10lb cockapoo, I could tell when we left she really liked them. This was my first time ever using Rover and was extremely satisfied and will definitely be contacting Dorian again if I need someone to watch.”
“Rodney truly loves animals. He put me at ease, answering all my questions quickly. My dogs have never been boarded, one is 13 and the other 3. We initially did a meet and greet and I knew they would be in amazing hands. We did an overnight and they never looked back when he walked them into the house. Lol Put my mind at ease. Definitely sending them to Rodney and Marissa again. 😊”
“Nat and Ally took great care of my dog and I can tell he had a great time and was a part of the family for the few days he was there. I got plenty of photos of my dog hanging with their dog and children and he always looked relaxed and happy. Great communication!”
“Absolutely incredible.. Our furbabies were safe & happy while our family was on vacation.. Candace & her family gave our 3 cuddle buddies the best care. We received pics & updates.. It was an awesome experience for all of us.. We will definitely rebook w Candace again..”
“Karen was extremely nice, very welcoming of our pup Milo! she kept me updated with videos and pics which really showed how happy and safe Milo was! I really recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her in a future😊😊”
“The dogs had a wonderful time with Kacy. Kacy sent videos and pics of our puppies keeping us up to date the entire time. Communication is great and her and her husband are super nice. Will def. come back :):)”
“We needed help with our dog as we moved into a new home so he wouldn’t be under foot. We were so lucky to find Heather D! Her property was right down the road from our new place! She is warm and friendly and her property is huge with all of the makings for a great time for dogs! Spacious and large grassed and fenced areas for playtime! Heather D graciously shared photos of Tucker having the time of his life. Tucker is a friendly dog and gets along with all animals he encounters so we were thrilled he’d have playmates with our visiting dogs. Fantastic photo moments of him running and playing with other dogs and some of the quieter moments like sitting on the couch watching TV with Heather D’s family. Her property was safe and clean and truly ideal for what she provides for boarding. I’d highly recommend Heather D and Tucker looks forward to spending time there again! 5 stars :)”
“Sandra is our favorite! Went away for Thanksgiving and luckily Sandra was available to sit my baby, Irma. Sandra sends many photos everyday and makes me feel like my Irma is having a great time! When I picked up Irma, she looked like she would have rather stayed! 100/100 Sandra is the best around!”
“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.”
“Jim and Mary were awesome with our pup. They sent me pictures throughout his stay so I could see how he was doing. He was very comfortable with them and when we picked him up, he acted the same as the dog we had left. (we had previous experiences where he was skittish for a few days after staying with a previous dog sitter) Jim and Mary treated our Camden as if he were their dog. I would be comfortable leaving our dog with them anytime and plan to use them again in the future. I highly recommend them!”
