About: Hi there! I'm Miranda! 😁 I have owned a terrier for 15 years, as well as worked in pet-sitting for 4 years. In that time, I have cared for dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, and fish. During my college studies, I have also cared for terrapins, frogs, and snakes! As an aspiring marine biologist, I have a love for animals that is deeper than the sea. 🌊 ⭐️ Experience in feeding, engaging in play, administering medication, and walking dogs of all sizes and breeds ⭐️ Mail collection, garbage disposal, plant care, and more I'm so excited to meet you and your pet! Home all summer with flexible availability. Whether it's house-sitting or just dropping by, I'm your gal! I book fast, so don't hesitate to reach out! I'm great at following schedules and instructions as written. You'll receive quick replies and great communication. I'll even send you pics of your pup! 🐶
About: Hi! My name is Mariaeva, but you can call me Eva! I have two dogs of my own. A 10 year old sheltie mix and a 5 year old aussie mix. I adopted the aussie mix when he was only a few months old so I'm familiar with puppies, their mess, and the high energy. My oldest, the sheltie mix, takes anti-seizure medication and he's been on it for a few years. I am now able to identify the signs and symptoms of when a seizure is occurring and how to handle emergency situations that require an action plan. I understand every dog is different and I'm a quick learner so I'll provide the best care needed for your fur baby! I also know the importance of administering medication on-time everyday to stay on schedule! Since my dogs are crate trained I understand how needed is good walk or play time after a long time of being cooped up. I have also found different ways, games and more, to stimulate them inside the home. I've even trained them to follow a few commands and tricks, I'd be more than happy to share these with you! A few years back, I adopted a cat and fostered him until we found him a home. Since then, I fell in love with cats and started taking care of my friends/family's cats to learn more about them. I plan to eventually get a cat of own to provide someone a forever home. 🐱 I am looking for a full time job, since I just relocated to the area so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. My profession as an Executive Assistant taught me all about the importance of lists, reminders and excel sheets. The more instructions you provide to take care of your fur baby, the better! PS: I also speak Spanish for those bilingual pets, like my own! :) Since I'm currently applying for jobs my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm also a huge planner so communication is key when it comes to my schedule. Since every home and every pet is different I trust that you'll be able to provide me with details on what's required of me to take care of both your home and your fur baby. I'll make sure to ask as many questions as needed to make sure I provide the best care.
About: I have several years of personal and professional pet care, but a lifetime of love for animals! I take humble pride in being the stranger that your critter who "never comes out to see anyone" is suddenly on my lap. I've cared for critters of all kinds, sizes and temperaments. Have any questions, shoot me a message! Looking forward to meeting you and your fuzzy or scaly loved ones. I am seeking to make this a 25-35 hrs/week gig with multiple clients. My availability is very flexible and open at this given time (June 2025). I commute between an apartment in downtown Hagerstown and St Mary's County (Wildewood) and care for my family's German shepherd (Freya) and teddy bear (Odin) about 1-2 days a month in W.V. Those dates are preplanned. I'm an early bird, up around 4:30-6 AM. I have a low maintenance mainecoon so she grazes all day and has plenty to do till I come home for my own kitty snuggles. I can only care for your pets on their turf or if you allow it, to take them to public parks. Both of my residences do not allow additional boarding. I personally wouldn't mind, but, rules are rule. I'm very adaptable and would love to keep any routine you have with your pets. From nicknames, babytalk, several walks a day, a bath etc... Write down your desired routine for Fido/Whiskers and I'll do my best to keep them entertained and comfortable until you're back home.
“I highly recommend Kathleen for anyone looking for in home or not care. Kathleen allowed us to take a wonderful holiday vacation knowing our 16 year old boy with Kidney issues would be well loved and cared for as she sent pictures daily and was always available for a checkin. Kathleen also took care of our home and eneded her stay as if she had never lived their for 10 days. Just amazing! We were pleased more than we ever thought we would be. Highly recommend this wonderful gal who we did just meet as she came 3 times prior to my trip to ease my nerves. Real gem and she and her family are great with animals.
