House Sitting in Woodland Acres

“Torrie was amazing with my dog, Boston, and made sure I got updates and pictures of their time together. Highly recommend and looking forward to our future bookings. ☺️”

“Shemoy was absolutely awesome with my boy. She visited him before the day and developed a good connection and interacted with him like she had known him forever. She was incredibly loving with him and I was more comfortable that I thought I would be for our first time away!”

“Morgan was great with my 2 pups! He followed my instructions and went above and beyond to ensure my girls were well taken care of. I received daily updates and photos, which was great while I was out of the country. He brought in all my packages, bins and ensured I came home to a clean house. Highly recommend!”

“Benjamin exceeded our expectations. With three senior dogs, we were worried about leaving them with just anyone, but once we met Benjamin we knew they’d be in good hands. He stayed in constant communication throughout his visit, which also put us at ease. We look forward to using him again.”

“Ashley stayed and took care of my 3 dogs for two days and did a great job! Would definitely book her again.”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I stand out as a pet sitter due to my ability to also look after my clients’ plants/garden from time-to-time. My lifelong passion for animals includes providing special care for young and senior dogs, ensuring their health and happiness. My current schedule varies, but I typically work 7-hour shifts on Sundays and Mondays. On the these dates, I can manage pet care for all dogs that have a wait period to be let out 4-8 hrs. If necessary, I have the flexibility to call off work to ensure your pets are well taken care of. From Tuesday to Saturday, I have open availability, allowing me to dedicate ample time to pet care activities, such as walks, feeding, and playtime. This arrangement helps me balance work commitments while ensuring your pets receiving the attention and care they need. In caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I ensure to follow detailed instructions provided by the client to meet the specific needs of their dog. For instance, if a dog is anxious during thunderstorms, I am proactive in reaching out via call or text to discuss calming strategies. Additionally, I always clarify any boundaries regarding what I can handle or access in the home and to build a stronger rapport, I will arrange pre-sitting meetings with clients to better understand their preferences and to bond with their dog(s).

About: I have been told that I am very patient when it comes to pets. I let them come to me and if they don’t want to I don’t force them. I am very careful to make sure the pets are happy and can get to know and love any pet. My life can fluctuate from busy to free depending on the time of year, but I always make time for my pets. It makes me happy to see them and take care of them on a daily and weekly basis. To care for pets, I make sure that they are ok and give them food and water first. Then I give them all the attention they need and make sure they are happy. I don’t just check in and leave, I like to spend time with them so they aren’t lonely.

“Faith is a fantastic petsitter! We were out of town for 8 days and didn't have to worry about a thing back home. It was wonderful to find a caring person who could spend this much time with our pets. Boarding can be so stressful on our big dogs, but Faith was able to do overnights and wasn't intimidated by our Dobermans in the slightest. She was a perfect fit, and we were so blessed to find her on Rover. It was our first experience with the service platform being new to Southern Maryland, but we will be repeat customers for sure.”

“Kara is amazing as usual! We’ve had her watch our pup multiple times now, and she always does a great job taking care of her. She always leaves our house in great shape, and keeps in touch everyday to tell us how the pup is doing. I highly recommend her, and will continue to have her as our go to dog sitter! 😊”

About: I have a 3 year old pit and she is the best. Super energetic, loves to cuddle, loves people and other dogs, and is extremely smart. I am raising and training her myself. She knows all her basic commands like sit, stay, come, down, and heel. We have begun her off leash training! I have a 1 year old cat and a gecko. I also have experience with larger animals such as horses. I have worked with horses for about 6 years on and off. I am a recent college graduate. I am able to do morning and afternoon visits and walks. It is very rare, but I am usually not available on weekends. I will administer medicine if need be, feed, and fill water bowls for drop-in visits, walks, or house sits. I can also trim nails and bathe for an extra charge. On walks, they will be no more than 30 minutes.

About: I’ve cared for family dogs and cats since I was 10, including fostering three puppies while in high school (our last foster became a forever family member!). Growing up with a mom who worked as a veterinary technician gave me extra knowledge about pet health and safety. I feel confident caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors, and always follow their routines so they feel safe and loved. Pet care is my priority and fits easily into my daily routine, since I’m not balancing another job. I approach animals as companions and equals, respecting their needs, energy, and autonomy. Whether it’s walks, play, or quiet company, I’m present and adaptable to what makes each pet happiest. In a client’s home, I treat pets and their space with respect, keeping their routines consistent and stress-free. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel secure and loved. Because I value animals as individuals, I earn their trust gently and let them set the pace for connection.

“Liz was wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure our timid dog was comfortable and that we knew she was cared for. I definitely recommend Liz as a dog sitter.”

Carrie C.

“I have nothing but good things to say. Took care of my Atti like she was family. She will be so happy to go back in a couple weeks to play with Blaze again!”

Allyn F.

“I highly recommend Mackenzie! She did an excellent job caring for our pups while we were out of town. She gave them plenty of exercise, love, and attention. I was confident the dogs were in capable hands the entire time. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family member book Mackenzie.”

About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

About: I have a rescue dog and I’m very aware of rescues special needs, Iv cared for all sizes of dogs and treat them like my own! Along with cats, pigs and lizards ! I have a full time job , I work four ten hour shifts I am off every Thursday and every weekend and after work hours too if needed I am willing to do morning and evening shifts on the days I work I have a open yard , If your dog needs to be crated that’s fine my dog sleeps on the couch and gets in beds

About: I have had animals all my life and currently have 2 cats that are mine. My two dogs also live at home so I have been around animals all my life. I’m currently working part time due to school this upcoming semester. Most of my classes are online so I spend a lot of time at home. I make frequent stops at home during the work day as I’m only 10 minutes from home to let my dogs out of my parents aren’t home. I have an electric fence however dogs would be put on leash. My cats have all their necessities in my room so the pet I would be pet sitting for would stay in the guest bedroom in the basement with me to avoid troubles.

About: I've been around animals all my life, and care for every single one that comes across my path. I have 4 animals so far that are living healthy and happy, and regularly babysit my neighbor's animals for weeks at a time. I wake up every day to my cat, and I want to extend that love to more animals who need that care when their owners are a little busy! It comes as a second nature to me, and I think about how my animals might be impacted by the actions I make, for example: I can never leave drinks on the counter anymore because my cat learned she likes coffee. Not anymore of course! I respect boundaries of animals and owners alike, whether that be physical such as a room not to enter or mental such as a certain word that an animal doesn't like to hear. If I am provided with rules I will follow them like a mantra.
