“Gus, my dog loves you he is alway well taken care. Communication is always great thank you so much for caring for Gus. and I feel comfortable”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for many different breeds and personalities, including Saint Bernards, Great Danes, and Coonhounds, which gave me plenty of experience handling large and giant-breed dogs. I’ve also shared my home with multiple cats over the years—many of them seniors—so I understand the patience, routine, and gentle care older pets often need. I’ve spent years fostering animals as well, frequently working with senior pets and dogs that may be anxious or slow to trust new people. I pride myself on being patient and letting animals warm up to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. My home currently includes an Alaskan Klee Kai and a Border Collie mix, so daily life already revolves around exercise, enrichment, and making sure dogs stay happy and engaged. When I travel, my trips are often pet-focused—I’ve driven cross-country multiple times with my dogs to explore new trails, parks, and adventures together. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I always aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure in their own home. As a larger and experienced handler, I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs on leash and adapting to different energy levels—whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers relaxed companionship and a calm presence. I’m also experienced in administering most medications and providing attentive care for senior pets who may need a little extra support. I have a very flexible work schedule, and can accommodate most dogs needs! As far as overnight sitting, I will be there from 8 pm until 8 am and will also be coming by a few times a day. Puppies and youngsters (or whoever needs it!) can be accommodated with more drop ins just let me know! If you require 24/7 care this can be arranged as well just let me know prior to booking! Your dog’s comfort and routine are my top priorities. I provide focused attention, interactive play, and companionship tailored to your pup’s personality — from calm evenings at home to energetic walks or adventures at parks and trails. I’m experienced with all sizes and breeds, so whether your dog is a tiny pup or a gentle giant, they’ll receive care that’s attentive and consistent. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and fully engaged throughout their stay

About: I've owned pets my whole life. My gentle composure and empathic nature make them feel loved and safe with me. I fostered a puppy from the Caribbean that nobody else wants to deal with. Within a month, she let me pet her and take her on walks. I train dogs with care and lots of pets! I am a freelancer and work from home. Dogs that stay at my house can go in and out and be protected by a fenced-in yard. I will ask about diet, routines, and special needs for your pets. I will come to your house for free for a meet and greet and see if we connect with your pet.

“Highly recommend Ryan! He took the time to do a meet and greet and really understand my dog’s specific needs. He was very communicative and flexible whenever any changes came up, which I truly appreciated. What stood out most was how he followed my dog’s training routines and even used the exact phrases we’ve been working on. He handled my dog’s reactivity with care and confidence, and it made a huge difference. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands!”

About: I have been caring for cats and dog since I was a freshman in high school and have pet sat for several families! I have taken care of all different breeds from small to big and young to old! Whether it’s just a quick feed, playtime, administering medicine, or overnight care, I will make sure your pet feels loved, safe, comfortable, and cared for! I currently work at a produce stand working about 5 days a week! My schedule however is extremely flexible as I get to choose the days I want off. I also work with other girls my age that pet sit and we are able to leave when needed to provide care! In my home, we have a nice sized backyard where I am able to play catch and I also live in a large neighborhood where I walk everyday and can exercise with your pet! I also have a clean house if your pet is indoors!

About: As a dedicated dog walker and in-home pet sitter with over two years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I care for every dog (and cat!) as if they were my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs and routines. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun, and tailored walks ✅ Home visits that follow your pet’s schedule ✅ Clean water, food, meds (if needed), and lots of affection ✅ Daily photo updates and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going ✅ Respect for your home and your pet’s space I’m trained in basic pet first aid and always check collars, leashes, and gates before heading out. Whether it’s a quiet walk or an energy-burning play session, your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priority. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because of how flexible and rewarding it is. Since I set my own schedule, I can book pet care clients around my part-time job shifts and study blocks, which helps me stay balanced and productive. Walking dogs gives me a much-needed mental reset from screen time and studying, and it keeps me active throughout the day. It’s also a great way to supplement my income without taking on another traditional job. Most of all, spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy and motivation — it breaks up long study days and reminds me why I love what I do Whether you’re at work or away for a few days, I provide reliable, in-home care that keeps your pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment. From daily walks to feeding, playtime, and medication routines, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. 🔐 Safety & Professionalism Equipped for pet first aid always carrying a kit Detailed home-entry and security protocols Leash and harness checks before every walk Weather-conscious and always alert to potential hazards Respectful of your home, your pets, and your time 📸 Peace of Mind After each visit, you’ll receive a photo and short update so you know how your furry friend is doing — because trust is built on communication

About: I am currently employed as a kennel attendant and a veterinary assistant where I have gained experience in dog handling, feeding, medicating, and more. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I am currently working part time at 2 jobs attending college. My schedule changes weekly but I always have extra time to watch your pups! I am located on Kent Island and I am not able to provide services over the Bay Bridge. I am not currently offering boarding in my home however I would be more than happy to watch your animals in your house.

About: I have grown up loving dogs my entire life. I was lucky enough to have two of my own Lucy and Wilson who were truly part of my family and meant everything to me. Since coming to college I have not been around dogs at all and I miss that connection more than I realized. Being around dogs brings me a lot of happiness and comfort and it is something I have always had in my life until now am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for and giving attention to pets. I am available most weekdays all day due to online school. Some weekends are also available, although I do have an internship that takes up certain weekends I treat every pet as if they are my own and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions and make sure your pet feels secure and loved in my care

“Alexis is amazing!! She goes the extra mile and loved on our dogs so well! I will have her back again and again!”

About: I lived around both dogs and cats my whole life, with both family and roommates, and I absolutely love it. While I'm not in the position to have my own furry friend at the moment, I love to care for animals. I spent about a year (2025) volunteering with the MCACAC shelter cats and dogs in Christiansburg, including participating in their training courses, and now feel confident bringing that experience to work with pets that already have found their families as well. I'm currently job hunting, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I am available throughout the day. I am occasionally out of town for travel or job-search related activities. My apartment is is pet-free, so I cannot host pets at this time. As far as working with pets in your home, please let me know your house rules. I generally use whatever items the pet uses at home (leash, treats, etc) for the sake of consistency for the pet and pet parent.

About: Hello! My name is Terri but I usually go by T. I have owned both dogs and cats my entire life. Ive worked as a supervisor at 2 boarding and daycare facilities over the course of 4 years until I ultimately moved into veterinary medicine as a technician at a specialty clinic! So I have a lot of experience and am comfortable around all breeds,sizes, ages, and most (stable) medical conditions. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals and promise to provide the best care possible to ensure that your fur baby gets all the love he or she deserves. I’ll treat them like my own and you can rest easy knowing your pet is getting all of their necessities and some extra love along the way. I work as a surgical veterinary technician 5 days a week so walking is a side gig for me on my off time but the more time I get to spend around animals the better :) I promise to follow any particular instructions/tips you have for keeping your pups safe and happy! As well as provide some extra love in the process.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.

About: I have been a pet care attendant at a dog kennel for two years now. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playing, bathing/grooming, and administering medications for animals. I have training in dog behavior as well as any medical needs of animals. I also come from a veterinary medical background and have watched and walked dogs for members of my community for many years. I have experience dealing with aggressive, dog reactive, leash reactive, cage brave, and resource guarding animals as well as any other needs that your pet may have. I am currently enrolled at the University of Maryland but can make time to walk and care for pets around my school schedule. I am at my apartment all other times of the day and will be easily available to care for pets. I live in an apartment currently but can easily crate your animals when leaving for class. I live in a pet friendly community with no others pets living in my apartment and can easily walk your pet around my community or take them to the courtyard in my apartment for a quick potty break. There is also an animal bathing room in my apartment complex so I am able to bathe your animals if needed.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats in a personal and professional capacity for 25 years now. For many years, I turned our home into an orphan kitten and cat rescue and worked with the organization Planned Pethood to care for and adopt out over 50 cats! I've taken care of cats and dogs for friends, family, and clients in all life stages - from bottle babies to elderly and incontinent cancer patients. I have experience administering pills and insulin injections, and welcome working with dogs and cats at all life stages. Tricky diets and particularities don't put me off.. I've seen it all! Long walks and cuddles are my specialty, and I look forward to making new four legged friends! I'm currently completing a graphic design certificate online, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I'm available both weekdays and weekends, as I have no particular set schedule. I make sure to keep dogs on their leash during walks, and to secure all yard gates before letting them outdoors. I keep the home clean and tidy, and make sure there haven't been any accidents or breakages. I tend to stay at the home all day when staying overnight so the animals always have company and any emergencies are handled immediately.

About: Hi! I am an extremely happy person and would love to help with your pet needs. I love dogs and have had dogs of all types my entire life from Pomeranians to Blue Nose Pits. They make me so happy and I love to give back and make them feel super happy and loved. I am the kind of person who waves at dogs when they are in a store or in the car next to me, they bring me pure joy. I have potty trained a puppy pit bull, taught her to sit, eat only in her cage and crate trained her. I do not accept violence or harsh acts or training, they’re cruel and that’s not how I handle animals. There is no kind of dog I don’t love :) I have clients online that I meet virtually with for psychotherapy services. These services range in time throughout the day but are an hour long and often leave hours in between sessions, available for me to do other things. I recently lost my dog to cancer and miss the time that I got to spend with her outside, on walks and at home. I would like to spend my spare time between clients, with my pets and hopefully yours, to share the love that I have for animals. I would ensure that they are safe and comfortable at all times. Whether the expectation is crate time after a walk or hanging out to play with them before I leave, I will make sure to give them lots of love when I am present.
