About: Hi, I’m Riley! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, and even lizards. Whether it’s a high energy puppy, a senior pet who needs extra TLC, or an anxious animal who needs a gentle approach, I’m here to help your pet feel safe, calm, and cared for. I grew up volunteering at animal shelters in Frederick and Montgomery County, where I learned how unique every animal is and the importance of meeting them where they are. I currently work as a Pre-K teacher, which has strengthened my patience, reliability, and nurturing approach skills I bring into every pet I care for. At home, I have large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger breeds and strong pullers on walks. I currently offer drop in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to customize care based on your pet’s routine, energy level, and special needs. I’m available weekdays and weekends and can be flexible to fit your schedule. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a midday walk, or some extra companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’d love to set up a meet and greet and get to know you and your furry family! Currently I’m working full time as a teacher. I'm available for pet care during lunch breaks, weekends, and holidays.

I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime. I keep the environment stress-free and never leave pets unattended for long. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and comfort! In your home- I treat your home and your pet with respect and care. I stick to your instructions, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or walk preferences. I keep things tidy, give regular updates, and make sure your pet feels secure in their own environment.
“Nancy is fantastic. She takes my dog for a walk multiple times a week. She's very reliable and gives me feedback on my pet after each walk. She's on time and keeps my mind at ease to focus on work when I'm at work. Nancy and my dog really seem to enjoy their time together each day. I would definitely recommend Nancy to anyone needing a kind and responsible person to care for their pet.”


About: Hello! I am a 18-year-old girl looking to take care of your animals. Here is a bit of information about me: My personality is active communication, open-minded, and flexible. I like working with animals since my childhood with pet animals. I've taken care of fish, turtles, cats, and mainly dogs. In my spare time, I do online University with General Studies for the moment on Fridays and Saturdays. However, animal care is something I want to pursue with passion and love. I recently moved in the area, so I'm excited to work and spend time with family. I want to know specifics. If you answer any of my questions, I would appreciate it soo much. No intention to mess up, especially being new to everything. The goal is being helpful as possible for you and to do the very best that I can. I am in the Spring Ridge area. I can provide good feeding, walks, cleaning up dirt or messes, and proper potty time. Thank you for considering me! I am open minded to all animals except cats, I am sadly, allergic to the fur. I recently adopted a dog in my family and she is prioritized before any messes in the house. I want to express that full heartedly with your animals too. I can take them on a walk. I am mainly looking at dogs so I’m referring to them when I say taking on a walk or going potty. I can feed and give proper medication proportions. I can provide overnight care if you are on vacation or need someone present with your animals. If you need someone over during the day, then I can be the girl for you!
“Jessie has been wonderful with our pup Sadie. She is a great communicator and texts updates if there are any changes to the schedule. It’s fun to see all the pictures she adds to the daily report. We appreciate all she does for Sadie.”

Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through professional services, friends, and families, providing everything from daily walks and cuddle time to medication administration and overnight stays. My priority is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. 🐶 What You Can Expect • Reliable, communicative, and attentive care • Plenty of photo updates so you can relax while you’re away • A calm, loving environment with playtime, snuggles, and routine care • Experience with senior dogs and pets who need medication Whether your pup loves a long walk, a cozy nap, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to give them the same love and attention I’d want for my own fur babies. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member! 💕 I’m currently focusing on school, because of that I have a very flexible schedule which gives me a bit of extra time to take care of your pets weather is at your home or overnight at mines.

I have a small dog and cat who love to cuddle and play! Your fur babies won’t be bored one bit!
Westwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Taylor did a great job watching our Cavapoo Lucy. She took her out, played with her, took pictures and kept us updated. Lucy seemed happy and content every evening I came home and I’m so thankful for Taylor. She eased my mind while I was at work knowing that Lucy was in good hands.
