About: I’m an experienced animal caretaker comfortable with pets of all species, ages, temperaments, and care needs. My background includes training challenging dogs, caring for neonatal kittens, mucking stalls, administering IV fluids, raising poultry and small animals, and over 20 years of experience with dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I’m confident with special-needs pets, unusual animals, and complicated routines—and I’ll care for every animal with patience, attentiveness, and kindness. I work a standard 8 am - 4 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I am available to care for boarded animals in the morning before I leave and in the evenings when I return from work in those days, with the same diligence and love I give my own animals. For all other days, I am either off or working from home and I am generally available to provide care. If I am visiting your home, I would like to have a meet and greet with you and your animals before you head out of town to establish their normal schedules and routines. During appointments, I will give your animals the same love and care that I give my own. If you are scheduling to have an animal boarded, your animal(s) will be given their own room separate from other animals in the house, with direct access to a large, fenced-in yard, their own beds and towels, and constant access to water. Walks, treats, meals, and medications will be given on an agreed upon schedule. Potty breaks will occur no less than once in the morning, once before and after dinner, and once before bedtime. I do not accept outside bedding and all guests must be up to date on vaccines and treated for fleas and ticks prior to boarding.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life. From my earliest shelter rescues to my current Shepherd, I’ve always prioritized our pup’s safety, well being, and happiness I’m a stay at home mom whose kids are starting school. I will have plenty of time during the days to give your dogs plenty of attention. I travel in order to give your dogs the best care in the comfort of their own personal space. I have plenty of time available during the day to make sure your pups are happy

About: I’ve dog sat over twenty dogs in the last few years, many repeated clients. Some I’d come by and hang out with them, some would stay at my house depending on behavior, needs, and preference . I’m generally flexible but will have unmovable classes. I can spend time with the animals depending on your expectations. Or just quick walks throughout the week. Based on the expectations of the owner. I let them have explore the house, work to gain their trust and then take them on early morning walks. Ensure the house is taken care of by locking up, any plants are taken care of etc.

“Just in the few walks we've scheduled with Lin, I can already tell she's the best dog walker we've ever had. Our dog looks forward to their walks together! I've also noticed how much better our dog walks on leash with us - she's not pulling as much.”

Sandra W.

“Casie is so great!! She gives great updates. I know my pupper gets great attention and love, and is well taken care of when Casie is with him. I would highly recommend her!!”

About: I've walked dogs as a volunteer as well as administered medication. Those skills taught me patience and understanding while scooping and entertaining the animals. That's it. I'll have plenty of time to play with puppies and dogs. Which will be a good way to support them and make sure they get the loving care they need. I have a regular home that has cats in it and it is a safe place for animals in general. That's about it for that detail.

“Jen was absolutely fantastic! As someone who has dog sat before for others, she did everything that I hoped for and more as our dog walker! Her communication was excellent - she even went above and beyond to try other messaging methods since I was out of the country while my dog was staying with my boyfriend. She sent great videos and pictures, so I knew my dog was getting great care and attention :) I would highly recommend Jen’s services to anyone!”

Amanda C.

“Sophia was fantastic! She has a soothing and calm presence that put both Nuka and I at ease. Care instructions were followed faithfully and I can tell my doggo had a great time. I highly recommend Sophia and hope to book Nuka with her again next time we travel.”

About: I have a lot of experience walking and taking care of dogs, some of them being mine and other loved ones dogs. I am a good communicator with a passion for animal safety and well being who has solid knowledge with taking care of dogs. This will fit in my routine because I have circling off days during the week and could be used here and there when needed. I will also be available on some weekends as well. I make sure that I give dogs plenty of love and attention. I have socialized my dogs around other people and dogs to reduce their anxiety and to promote good manners.

About: It can be so stressful trying to find someone to care for your furry loved one(s) while you’re away; I would love to make it easier for you! I’m an animal lover through-and-through (if you’ve seen it I’ve probably thought about wanting to make friends with it) and I was a dog owner for many years to Samwise, a sweet miniature dachshund. Though I do not currently own any dogs, I am a proud auntie to my two furry nieces–Tetra, a loveable golden retriever and Zora, an energetic goldendoodle–who I routinely see and care for when their family is away. I’ve housesat for friends and family many times throughout the years, for both dogs and cats. Big or small, reserved or energetic, old or young, I’ve dealt with it. My own pets have passed recently and while I adjust to my routine of being a new mom I would love the chance to provide love, attention, and care for your animals. I have a lot of love to give! I currently work only a couple hours a day remotely so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule during the weekdays. I’m also available for most weekends. Nights are a little harder, as I have a little one at home, but not impossible–I have additional child care at home. When caring for your pet you can be rest assured that both your pet and home will be treated with respect. I will provide excellent service and if you’re not happy with me I will take no offense. I am a quick learner and good with constructive criticism and instruction. Just let me know :) Your pet’s care and safety is important to me.

About: I've been caring for cats and dogs my entire life, and my love for animals knows no bounds. My Pomeranian, Dachshund, and Pitbull all lived to the ripe old ages of 16 and 17, thanks to the simple secret of love. Currently, I have a stunning 80-pound Pitbull/Cane Corso mix who is 9 years old, and a 100-pound Great Dane. I can't wait to take exceptional care of your beloved pet. I reside in the Eldersburg area and have a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I can adapt to almost any schedule you need. I prioritize the safety and well-being of your furry friend. I ensure that all walks are conducted in safe, dog-friendly environments, avoiding areas with heavy traffic or potential hazards. I follow strict leash etiquette and am vigilant about weather conditions to keep your pet comfortable and secure. Additionally, I am attentive to your dog's behavior and health, making sure they interact amicably with other dogs and minimizing the risk of infections or diseases. Your dog's safety is my top priority, and I strive to provide a fun, enriching, and secure walking experience.
