About: My name is Carla, I have over four years of pet care experience (working in pet stores, vet clinic's, and volunteering for local shelters. I also am mom to 3 fur babies of my own: My senior dog Dino, my rescue Darla, and my youngest daughter Appa. I have a genuine love for animals and will ensure that your pet receives the love and care they deserve. I will walk, feed, and play with your pet to help you give them the extra care they need while you work or take that vacation. I enjoy being active especially with animals so long walks are a favorite past time of mine even during the cold weather months. I look forward to working with you and loving your pets! Thank you for your time! Carla C. I work from home during the week and have the weekends free! I have plenty of time to drop-in and walk your pets if needed. My dogs are crated during the day while I work. Darla gets 3-4 bathroom breaks, while Appa is still being house broken. As far as my client’s home, all I need to know is what their routine is and I go from there.

About: I have taken care of many animals like cats, dogs, fish, chicken, hamsters, and a few others! Most of these were in my home throughout the years, and around four years ago I began sitting for friends and family. I am very dependable, punctual, and I love to spend time with animals. Making sure your animal gets all their needs met and have plenty of social time while you are away is my priority! I currently work part time as a server, but with a minimum two weeks notice I can work my schedule around your animals needs to give them the best care possible. I base my time spent at the house per the animals needs, but will visit at least 2-3 times a day for an hour. I cannot care for animals in my home as I am a college student in a small apartment and have an animal myself. However in clients home I tend to follow the clients instructions and base care around the animals attitude and needs. Every animal and person is different so it really just depends on your family! I also care very much about home and personal safety, this is a top priority.
About: My family and I love pets. We currently have 2 dogs (English Coonhound & a Hound/Terrier mix), a tabby cat (Kitty Girl), & 2 parakeets (Eve & Leo). We have experience with dogs of all kinds over the last 30 years, as well as the other animals and even hermit crabs! My daughters, 16 & 14, are both caring and engage well with all animals, as does my son. We live in a large neighborhood with plenty of walking space and have access to a small waterfront beach at our neighborhood fishing pier/beach. We also visit the local dog park on occasion and volunteer to walk dogs at the Humane Society locally. We will do our best to spend good time with your pet and update you on our activities. We have experience with older dogs (we just lost our 17-year-old Bassett Hound) and experience with dogs with seizures. I'm working from home part-time & out of the house other times. We have plenty of availability to take care of your fur-babies! Covid has limited in-person court appearances, and zoom meetings and virtual cases have allowed more availability to give the time they deserve. My wife, Jenn, and I share the responsibility of visits to best accommodate your schedule & needs. We have a large yard, and take frequent walks. Our home is dog/pet friendly. We can crate your dog upon request. Our dogs love 4 legged company!

“Jackie was caring and loving to our two boys, Cooper and Parker. They loved her visits and were very happy to see the returning family, tales awaggin’ ❤️ Thanks again Jackie, we will be in touch for another sitting.”

About: I provide reliable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a 15 year old Yorkie mix and a 1 year old Yorkie. My experience includes caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, so I understand everything from basic training and routines to giving extra patience and comfort to older animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets active, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and check-ins. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets aren’t left alone for long. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule and give them the time, supervision, and care they need. I create a safe, calm environment by following each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise pets. In your home, I respect your space while keeping your pet in their normal routine. I also provide updates and can handle special needs like medications.
“Kate is awesome! She was so good with my dog and she tried her best to accomodate walking Kosmo when I accidently booked the wrong dates. Not only did my pets love her but Kate's customer service is also fantastic!”

About: A dog is never just a pet — they are loyal friends, beloved family, and a pure source of unconditional love. I care for every dog as if they were my own, with warmth, patience, and devotion, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and truly loved while you’re away. While I’m studying for my accounting degree, pet sitting is a wonderful fit for my routine — it allows me to care for animals while balancing my studies. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy and welcoming space. The living room is spacious, with two comfortable sofas by the windows where they can relax and watch the world outside. Out back, there’s a yard with trees — perfect for fresh air and a bit of playtime. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly cul-de-sac, providing a safe and peaceful environment for your furry friend.

I have also gone through obedience training with my own pup, so I am happy to assist in any process yours may be going through too! I am experienced in administering medication, as well as bathing dogs. I do work full time, but my schedule frees up during the week greatly in the summer!

My love is caring for animals. I am available almost anytime. I prefer Monday through Saturday if possible, however, I will work Sundays if needed. I cannot watch animals in my home. I am willing to go to the owner's home to care for their pets. I will feed, play, walk, administer medications, or most other things that are needed. I prefer not to do overnights in the owner's home.
About: I'm very patient, having owned both cats and dogs throughout my lifetime. Have dealt with both from the puppy/kitten stage through old age/end of life. I am semi-retired and available for a wide range of time that can satisfy any work schedule or vacation plans from clients. I enjoy going to the gym and taking walks to remain active so I am flexible around any schedule as needed. I am willing to walk, feed, or even stay over night to be with your pet.

In addition to dogs, I am also comfortable taking care of cats, goats, and chickens and have years of experience with them as well! I am currently in physical therapy school, so my weekly schedule varies. However, I am free in the late afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. My schedule can be relatively flexible around classes, as I am not currently working! I love spending time playing with dogs. If your dog is full of energy, I am more than willing to take them for walks and play with them to get some energy out! If your dog is more laid back, I love a good snuggle! I am comfortable crating dogs, as well as having them roam freely!

“Daniela has been reliable and my dog really seems to like her a lot. I trust her to be in my home when I’m not there. She takes very good care of my dog and I will continue to use her services”
About: ❗️❗️🙂 CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS🙂❗️❗️ I've been working for Rover since 2017, and I can truly say that I adore this job! I mainly specialize in working with dogs and cats, however I am willing to work with different kinds of animals if needed. I'm also a Washington DC native, who has recently moved to Salisbury, Maryland 💛🖤❤️🤍 ⚠️❗️❗️UPDATE AS OF APRIL 2024❗️❗️⚠️: If you are new client and need someone for a extended stay Home Sitting, the longest I will be willing to stay is 3 to 5 days. Once you are a repeat client, I am then more comfortable staying for longer periods of time if needed. Pets will stay on routine by following whatever schedule the owner has set up. If it means getting up early to take a walk, that's what will happen. If I means getting out later in the afternoon for a walk, tha will be fine too. Pet care fits into my routine by me having a very opened schedule. I just moved to Easton, MD, so right now I'm looking to build a new client base here. While watching your pets in your home, I will always make sure I keep a watchful eye over them. I typically like to stay in an area that is open enough where I can see everything, but closed enough where the animal won't be out of site.
About: I have had several animals in my lifetime, some of my families growing up, and several of my own. I have owned a total of 5 dogs. All of my dogs have been/are rescues. I currently have 3 "puppies" that range in ages between 1-2 years old. I got two of them when they were only 6 months old and I have done all of their training on my own. Animals of all kinds have a very special place in my hear and I work hard so my fur animals can have a better life. Remember, your animals only experience what you allow them to. Let them experience life the way we do, they are only here for so long. I work from home therefore, I am available at all times. I can bring my work to your home if I need to be there for an extended time or I can leave my work at home and come take care of your animals if it will be for a shorter period of time. My dogs experience everything that I experience in my home. Such as roaming freely, having access to food and water at all times, being able to roam in the yard independently, and most importantly, they sleep on a tempur-pedic mattress at night with their humans.
About: I’ve been dogsitting for family friends for the past 4 years. I am willing to come stay at your house and keep your animals in the comfort of their own home while you enjoy your vacation or time away. I grew up with both a Rottweiler and a Pitbull and as an adult, my husband and I own are Bernedoodle who is the light of our lives. I currently work at the hospital full time as an RN. I am able to be up early with your pets and handle feedings and letting them out to the bathroom along with some active time before work and after I get off I can spend the rest of the evening at the house making sure your pets are given attention and well taken care of. I have off most weekends! I will care for your pets in your home as best as I can to keep your personal and normal routine. I am always willing to follow any instructions given to keep your pets comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have been house sitting animals for about a year now in my home town. I have house sat all different size dogs and cats and have even done week long house sitting for the animals. I just recently moved to college and stopped dog sitting but I am ready to continue doing what I love! I am currently a full time college student at Salisbury University. I am done my classes everyday after 12pm and am available anytime on the weekends. I can't wait to spend quality time with your fur babies. I plan to give them my full attention, make sure they are well fed, well exercised, and overall well taken care of when they're in my possession:)
