About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and at a young age was entrusted with the care of neighbors friends and families pets. I haven't met an animal yet that I couldn't win over and make them my friend! I adore animals, and they love me! Pet care is my life. The majority of my day is devoted to animal care. This is a farm, so a few hours a day devoted to farm chores, but the rest of the day is devoted to the pets in my care. There are trails and a creek, so we go for walks and the occasional swim. There are also wide open pastures that are great for a game of chase or fetch. My home is set up for any kind of care. At our home; your animal will be made to feel at home. There are crates if your pet is more comfortable this way. At your home; time will be spent socializing with your pet, play, cuddling, story time, and feeding.

“Our dogs LOVE her, and she is very attentive and loving to our pups. She is prompt, flexible, friendly, has excellent communication and is overall a delight”
“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.”
About: I have an 11 year old goldendoodle named Taffy who I have raised since she was a puppy. I have walked dogs and house sat for friends and family since I was young and will always take the opportunity to spend time with animals of all kinds! I am currently at home for the summer in the Frederick area so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets. I’ll be going back to College Park at the end of August. I can follow any directions needed for caring for your fur babies. I can go for long walks to provide exercise, play (of course), cuddle, reinforce tricks/training, administer oral medicine, etc.. Just ask and I will probably be willing to accommodate any requests! I always make sure that your pet has access to fresh water and feed according to instructions.
About: I've taken care of pet dogs for thenlast 15 plus years I owned 3 Rottweilers and competed them in the akc so I can take care of small or big dogs I currently work from home and am available all the time to take care of dogs and actually have the time to play and take care of the needs of the puppies or older dogs I have a fenced yard and are capable of taking great care of the pet I also would provide play time for them where they can play inside or outside
“Adela is wonderful! She handled our two pups like a champ. I worry a little because our dogs are so super high energy, but she handled them like a pro. I appreciate the messages and pics! She really put me at ease. We will definitely ask her to walk our dogs again.”
About: I had cats growing up. I have taken care of my mother's shih Tzu for 8 years. I currently have 2 two year old poodles and a Aussie puppy. I have a shaded 10x20 kennel for potty breaks and I normally walk then in the hour of 6am and 6pm weather depending. I normally walk dogs at 6am and 6pm. In between carpool and doctor's appointments I would be home to take care of dogs during the day. I live in a single family home with a large back yard. I have a 10x20 shaded kennel for potty breaks in-between walks. Foor walks i take pups individually to allow not to allow the pups to be pulled and have their own time
About: I grew up with a chow chow and an Australian Shepard in my home so I am familiar with big personalities! I helped raised them into old age and understand the challenges and joys of an older dog. Both my mother and sister have larger dogs which I look after as well when they are out of town. I know how special and strong the bond is between an animal and their human and treat an animal with sensitivity to this when their humans are away. I spent many years working on farms, caring for almost any animal you can imagine! I work remotely as a social worker so I am very flexible to help with your pet care needs! I do field work once a week but I create my own schedule so I am flexible with that as well. I have a 7 year old cat whose been with me since he was a young guy. It’s my joy to be attentive to his behaviors and needs to ensure his happiness and in return he makes me laugh every single day (:

Ellen G.
“I met Ellen a few years ago when I hired her to cat sit for me, and from that very first experience, I knew I had found someone truly special. Ellen has such a kind, nurturing, and genuinely friendly presence—it’s something you feel the moment you meet her. My cat has always been extremely timid around new people, usually taking days to warm up, if at all. But with Ellen, something was different. Incredibly, my cat opened up to her within the first day. That kind of connection doesn’t happen often, and it spoke volumes about Ellen’s gentle and trustworthy nature. She is attentive, reliable, and truly cares for the animals she looks after. Because of her, I’m able to travel without a shred of anxiety, knowing my pet is not just cared for, but genuinely loved while I’m away. Ellen is a rare find, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Abby W.
“Abby is my niece and ever since she was little she has always loved animals. Her first pet was a rabbit named Shadow whom she adored and gave such devoted such care to. She created an amazing environment for Shadow with lots of space and toys to play with. She also provided the same love and care to her hamster, and most recently to her beloved dog Taffy. Abby ensures that the animals in her care receive the best of everything from their environment to their food to their, to their toys, and spends a lot of time loving on them as well. I would definitely recommend Abby as a devoted, loving care provider for any pets. They will certainly receive very attentive, loving care from Abby.”
