About: I’ve always loved animals! They bring me so much happiness. Dogs are family, your best friend, and deserve endless love, care, attention, and happy walks. 😊 I live in the area and work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day. I’d love to help get your pets outside for some fresh air, a walk, playtime or just a little extra love and attention while you’re busy. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! Whether I’m letting them out or keeping them company, I’ll provide a safe, trusted, and caring environment where they feel happy and comfortable.
About: Hi! ☀️I’m someone who has grown up around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I currently have my own cat, who is truly treated like a member of my family, and I’ve had experience caring for a variety of pets throughout my life. I cared for 4 cats for 4 years, have had an Australian Shepherd for the past 3 years, and previously had a dog for 11 years. Because of this, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible for pet care. I can usually do walks and drop-in visits before 4 PM, and I’m also available for overnight house sitting. I work in the evenings and typically get home around 11 PM, so I’m happy to spend the earlier part of the day with your pet and return home after work when needed. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. I know leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make it as easy as possible for both you and your pet Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m usually available for walks and drop-ins in the morning and midday before I head to work around 4 PM. I’m also available for overnight stays, so I can spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day and stay with them overnight when needed. my cat is more than taken care of. she is treated like a addition to the family. she has her own water fountain and special treats. she gets a birthday cake
About: Over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats and small animals in clients' homes. I am a Wicomico county public school teacher this proving a clean background as well as a patient and caring demeanor. I cared for my own diabetic cat for 2 years so insulin administration would be no problem. Due to some unforseen life changes I have a new situation and temporary schedule. For December I have full availability for walks and drop-ins M-F. I have most weekends free but need bring my 2 children with me. They are 8 and 10 years old and adore dogs. ♥️ I am happy to do a meet and greet prior to a booking if you have a child friendly fur baby and interest in working with me. We also have a fenced in back yard you could drop off to. 🐾🐶🐕🐕🦺😁 I will care for the animals as you direct me to. I am happy to take dogs in my vehicle for outings to dog parks or other events. I have a fenced in yard at my own home but have 2 guinea pigs and a cat so visits to my home would be dependent on tolerance to other pets and my 2 children who reside with me full time.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
