I’m very attentive and will often check up on them more than a few time a a day. I love spending time with them so they don’t feel alone.
“Jake is conscientious, kind and obviously loves dogs. His detailed reports and photos kept me informed and I think the dogs really enjoyed his company. He’s a busy guy and I appreciate that he could fit us in this week! Will request him again in the future.”

“I couldn't ask for a better person to walk my pup Ollie. This was our first time trying out Rover so we didn't know what to expect and Erick gave us comfort the first day we've met him. 10/10, very patient and communicates quick when we have a question about anything relating to Ollie.”

About: I've had dogs since I was a kid an have pet sit for people since I was about 13 years old. In my own life I have had and trained 3 puppies of my own (Tootsie is still currently in the training works). The most dogs I've watched in one household was four, one golden retriever rescue, one Labrador rescue, and two beagle mix rescues. I've worked with several different breeds of dogs over the years including pit bull mixes, pugs, labs, retrievers, beagles, great danes, etc. I currently am taking some time off from working as a Senior Accountant so have availability all day everyday for the most part, when im not spending time with my pets and hubby that is. 🥰 When I do drop in visits I follow what is requested for dogs regarding feeding time/walking habits. I normally talk to them because well idk, I talk to my pets because thats what you do as a pet person. 😂
About: I work remotely in the Annapolis area. I have dogs of my own and am a lifelong dog owner, caregiver, foster, etc. I am looking to alleviate your stress and help your pup live their best life! Working remotely and can take time for breaks throughout the day. I have made in home visits as well as can host in my home. Walk/potty breaks every couple of hours, and I have plenty of areas close by. Dogs will get lots of love, play time, and walks. I will follow whatever instructions you have on dog parks, medications, diet, etc. Dogs are welcome on furniture in my home, I will not enforce any rules that aren't for the safety of the pet.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. My family and friends have trusted me for years to provide loving, gentle, and reliable care when they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I also have my own fur baby, whom I’ve cared for since he was a puppy, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. My availability varies by day: Mondays after 1 PM, Tuesdays and Wednesdays all day, Thursday–Friday mornings only, and weekends after 6 PM. Message me anytime to double-check availability — I’m always happy to chat! I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow owner instructions closely, ensure pets are supervised, and provide plenty of affection and positive interaction. I create a calm, loving environment so pets feel secure and cared for in their own home.
About: Aside from having three dogs growing up, I have dog sat for friends and family many times. I am very flexible in pick up and drop off, great with routines, love to go on long walks/runs, take trips to dog parks, and shower them with lots of love while you are away. I wasn't able to bring my dog with me from Florida because she is older and sick, so I am missing some puppy love in my life! I've watched everything from a Great Dane, a puppy French Bulldog to a little old Dachshund and everything in between - no dog is too big, too small, too young or too old. I am comfortable with adapting to your house rules, meaning allowing them on furniture or keeping them off, crate training, basic skills training (i.e. sit, stay, shake), etc.

About: Hi! I’m Liz — an animal lover with a flexible hybrid work schedule and years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs. I’ve also fostered before, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can count on. I take that trust seriously and always aim to make things stress-free while you’re away — with regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Your pup will be in great hands with me. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I work in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and I’m home the rest of the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat it with the same care and respect as my own. I stick to your pet’s normal routine — walks, meals, and downtime — to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow all instructions closely, and leave your home just as I found it. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet’s doing while you’re away.
