“Adrienne was fantastic with our 3 pets for several days at our house! She communicated well and provided great photos daily. We can highly recommend Adrienne and plan to hire her again.”

“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Sara was incredibly attentive with our dogs and cat, kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and even noticed a possible tick on one of our dogs, something we were so grateful she caught. We came home to happy pets and a tidied-up house. She truly went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”

“Jessica has cared for our pups 3 times now. They're not the easiest to handle at times but she's a true Godsend. She's very detail oriented about their routines and habits and very patient when needed. She took great care of the house while we were gone for a week as well. So glad we found her and will definitely have her watch our pups again and again.”

“David was great! Took excellent care of our two dogs over a long weekend away. He stayed in touch, sent photos and everyone looked happy and healthy. Thank you!”

Michelle R.

“Heidi tool great care of my pup, Felix. She was very organized and made sure she had a list of questions to fully understand his routine before I went out of town. She made sure to give me updates throughout the day and was responsive to all my inquiries. I highly recommend Heidi for any of your pet care needs!”

Colleen S.

“I highly recommend Isabel! She stayed at our house for a week while we were out of the country, to watch our almost-21-year old kitty, Kyle. Kyle has some health issues and is on a number of medications, on a complicated schedule. Isabel made sure he got his meds as prescribed. Kyle likes to have company when he is awake, so she hung out with him a lot, and let him sleep with her. She sent us a lot of great pictures and kept us up to date on how he was doing every day, using the Rover app. She also took great care of the house. We will definitely ask Isabel to house/petsit for us again next time we go out of town.”

Debbie K.

“We happily had Laurie spend a long weekend with our 2 dogs at our house and everything was great! She sent lots of photos of the dogs and they seemed very much like they enjoyed themselves. She even got my picky dog to eat. Respectful with the house and we returned to happy dogs and a clean house.”

Natalie S.

“Taylor did a fantastic job dog sitting for us over a long weekend. She sent us pics, kept us up to date on how the dogs were doing, etc. Very, very pleased and will book her again!”

Rebecca W.

“Sherri is amazing!!! She took excellent care of our pup while we were away. She kept us updated with detailed texts and pictures. She went above and beyond to make sure that our pup got his exercise every day. It was so nice to hear that our pup was comfortable snuggling and sleeping with her. On top of taking great care of our dog, Sherri left our house perfectly clean and tidy. We are very happy with Sherri’s service, and we are hoping to use her in the future!!”

About: I am a reliable and caring pet and house sitter serving the Frederick and Walkersville, Maryland area. I bring over 30 years of professional experience in training, leadership development, and organizational support, where trust, responsibility, and attention to detail were essential to my success. These same qualities guide how I care for homes and pets. My career involved extensive travel, which gave me firsthand appreciation for how important it is to have a dependable person caring for your home and animals while you’re away. I’ve often relied on friends and professional services to look after my own property, so I understand the peace of mind pet owners are seeking—and I take that responsibility seriously. My wife and I, along with our two children, are longtime animal lovers. We currently care for a part-time “loaner dog” named Tobi, who stays with us while my mother-in-law travels. Growing up with my three brothers, our household was always full of pets, including dogs, a parakeet, a turtle, hamsters, goldfish, and Persian cats that my mother bred and raised. This lifelong exposure has made me comfortable caring for a wide range of animals and following specific routines and instructions. At 55 and newly retired, I’m active, energetic, and excited to dedicate time to passions I couldn’t fully explore while working full-time and raising a family. I live a very active lifestyle—currently training for another triathlon—and I enjoy staying engaged, dependable, and helpful in my community. As your pet and house sitter, I provide: Attentive, compassionate pet care tailored to your pet’s routine Reliable house sitting, including mail collection and light household oversight Clear communication and regular updates while you’re away Respect for your home, privacy, and detailed instructions I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, you can feel confident knowing your pets and property are in experienced, caring, and trustworthy hands. At 55 and newly retired, I’m active, energetic, and excited to dedicate time to passions I couldn’t fully explore while working full-time and raising a family. I live a very active lifestyle—currently training for another triathlon—and I enjoy staying engaged, dependable, and helpful in my community. My schedule is very open with my wife still working (a teacher), and my kids both grown. I provide pet care with the same level of professionalism, responsibility, and attention to detail that I brought to my 30+ year career in training, leadership development, and organizational support. I am a reliable and caring pet and house sitter serving the Frederick and Walkersville, Maryland area, and I understand that caring for someone’s pet also means caring for their home and routines. When caring for pets—whether in my home or in a client’s home—I start by learning each pet’s individual needs, habits, and preferences. I closely follow all instructions related to feeding schedules, exercise, litter or potty routines, medication, and any special care requirements. I believe consistency is key to helping pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and care, maintaining routines and ensuring the environment remains calm, clean, and safe. I monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate proactively if anything seems out of the ordinary. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. If pets are cared for in my home, they are welcomed into a calm, structured environment with close supervision, appropriate activity, and plenty of attention. Safety, cleanliness, and comfort are always priorities. Above all, I care for every pet as if they were my own. Trust is at the core of what I do, and pet owners can rely on me to be attentive, communicative, and dependable ensuring their pets and homes are well cared for at all times.

“Tracy took great care of our 3 Frenchies while we wetter on vacation. She was very responsive, sent pictures daily, sometimes multiple times. I was very confident after meeting Tracy that she had the compassion and experience to take good care of our pups. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Chelsea was an absolutely wonderful sitter to our dog and three cats! Our dog is anxious and reactive and from our meet and greet to the actual day of sitting, Chelsea respected his space, followed all of our instructions, and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. She also was great with our cats that all warmed up to her so quickly. We are so grateful to Chelsea for the updates she gave us, as we were actually able to enjoy our weekend knowing our pets were in good hands. Will definitely be hiring Chelsea in the future and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Alicia R.

“Zoe really went above and beyond this weekend. She was super flexible when we needed to add an extra day the week of our reservation, sent us detailed updates daily, plenty of cute pictures, and left our home super tidy for us to come back to. She was such a pleasure to work with. I had never hired a dog sitter before so I was really nervous going into this, but as soon as she got to our house and started sending us updates, I knew our babies were in great hands. I did not have to worry about them or our home for a second of our vacation. I will absolutely book Zoe again!”

Carlie B.

“Jennifer did a great job pet sitting and letting our 4 dogs out for potty breaks during the day. We came home to happy pups and our home the way we left it. Thank you for caring for our fur babies while we were out of town!”

“Kiara was amazing! She was available on short notice and took great care of our boys while we were away. Thank you Kiara!”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Five-Star Dog Sitter Extraordinaire! We honestly don’t know what kind of magic Abby possesses, but she managed to care for all five of our wild, lovable heathens like an absolute pro. That’s not just dog sitting—that’s dog whispering. From the moment Abby walked through the door, our dogs were obsessed with her—and for good reason. She’s calm, kind, patient, and somehow has the energy and grace to keep up with five very different canine personalities (and let’s be real—these dogs aren’t exactly low-maintenance). Whether it was the high-energy zoomies, the endless toy-fetching, or the very dramatic meal-time antics, Abby handled it all with a smile and a level of care that blew us away. Not only were our dogs happy, exercised, and clearly well-loved while we were away, but Abby also kept us updated with the cutest photos and little anecdotes that showed just how much she genuinely gets each of our pups. She didn’t just watch our dogs—she connected with them. We came home to five calm, content dogs and a house that somehow wasn’t destroyed. That alone deserves a medal. Abby is hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our furry chaos crew. If you’re lucky enough to book her, don’t hesitate—your dogs (and your sanity) will thank you.”

“Kelly is great, we have used her for our boys several times, and will continue, she takes great care of them and keeps us updated on them as well.”

Jenn M.

“If there were more than five stars to give, I would give them! Mikayla is so kind, and the animals warmed up to her so easily! We were able to leave for a weekend family event knowing that all was well with our Lab puppy and two cats. She is so friendly, and its easy to see why she has so many returning customers. We will absolutely be using Mikayla again!”

Chris B.

“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”

Francis M.

“Taylor did a great job. One of our dogs recently got diagnosed with a seizure condition and she managed his medication schedule perfectly while we were away. I was very nervous to be leaving so soon after but knowing she was at the house with them made it easier to be away. She communicated with me the whole time. Asked for clarification on some of my directions, which I appreciated her being so careful! Our dogs are very used to our schedule and how I do things around the house. I’m sure to an outsider they might be a bit much. But I came home to three happy pets and a well looked after house. Thank you so much Taylor!”
