“This was the second time Thor stayed here, it was great again. Highly recommended, my puppy is always well cared for and I received a good amount of photos and videos to make leaving him a bit easier.”

Mariana S.

“Mandie was AMAZING! I 110% recommend her for your pet sitting needs! This was our first time leaving our girl Nova for an extended period of time and she made it the most comfortable experience. She sent pictures and videos daily which eased our mind so much! She is very active with the dogs she watches and her own! She worked on commands with my dog and her home was very dog friendly! We couldn’t have picked a better sitter for our dog Nova!”

“Jessica was great with Smokey! She provided regular updates with photos. I could tell he was having a good time and was well taken care of. We will definitely use Jessica again.”

Wendy J.

“Justin and Kacy were fantastic with lil Rob. This was our first time leaving him with someone for an extended stay and they did great. They provided updates daily along with pictures and made sure he got the attention he craved. Highly recommend and will use again.”

Robert M.

“Nala had a wonderful time with Erica, she can sometimes be anxy in new environments but she seemed like she was very comfortable at her place. I loved receiving pics and video updates. Erica was able to also calm my nerves as this was the first time I was leaving my dog with someone unknown. I would definitely book her again when need be in the future! ❤️”

About: Ive had pets of my own and work with animals through vet hospital. I love cuddling, playing, and going on walks with pets. I am open to assist with giving medication for doggies who need extra care. I will happily send over pics of your pet during visits. I'm currently part time at a pet hospital. Availability can vary, just message me and we can try to work something out. On days I work usually I'm available in the evenings. I can offer boarding if needed. I do not have a fenced yard, I like to take pets out on walks for potty multiple times a day. I have 1 dog ( Wilbur ) + 2 cats (Phineas and Senu ). Wilbur is very friendly and would love the company of your pet. He is a tree walker coonhound Cats can be separated if needed when boarding your pet. For check ins - I can come over to make sure your pets have their food + water set. If meds need to be given I'm open to doing that. I'll also spend some time with them to offer some love and make sure they have some time outdoors. If owner allows I can take your dog out hiking / extended walks or to a park.

About: I have recently relocated to Frederick, Maryland from California after recently retiring & wanting to be closer to family <3 I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits, including senior and special-needs pets and animals requiring medications. I currently have a French Bulldog, four cats, and a rabbit of my own, so caring for multiple animals with different personalities, routines, and needs is part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding and care instructions, providing walks and enrichment, and recognizing changes in an animal’s behavior or health. I’ve also volunteered with animal shelters in both California and North Carolina. I worked as a first responder for almost 14 years, I’m dependable, trustworthy, safety-conscious, and take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pets very seriously. I was recently hired with Frederick County Animal Control and will be working part time Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays from 0800-1300 hrs, so your fur baby must be able to be left unattended for a minimum of 5 hours during the day whether you prefer them to be crated or not crated!! I’m retired with a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be accommodated throughout my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays for boarding and plenty of one-on-one attention! I was recently hired with Frederick County Animal Control in a part time position working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays from 0800-1300 hours. Although, my schedule is mostly flexible I will not be home for those 5 hours and your fur baby would need to be okay being alone whether you prefer them to be crated or non-crated!! I provide a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I have a fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of indoor space, including separate areas when a visiting pet needs their own quiet space away from my animals. I’m experienced with medications, senior and special-needs pets, and will closely follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions. I will treat your animals as if they were my own while I am trusted with their care. As a retired first responder, safety, responsibility, trust, and attention to detail are extremely important to me. 🐶😺🐰🏡🐾

About: Hi, I’m Eileen. I provide gentle, attentive care for small dogs, with a focus on safety, routine, and a calm home environment. My availability is primarily weekends, holidays, and selected weekday evenings, which allows me to give each dog steady, unhurried attention. I tailor care to each pup’s personality, whether that means relaxed walks, light play, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their routine familiar and reassuring. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep bowls and rest areas clean, and send thoughtful updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease. Because I have resident cats, I’m best suited for cat-savvy small dogs. I approach introductions slowly, supervise carefully, and can keep spaces separate when needed. My style is warm, detail-oriented, and intentionally limited in volume, so each dog receives the same thoughtful care I would want for my own pets. 🕰️ Schedule I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays, and I thoughtfully plan my pet care visits around that schedule to ensure each visit is calm, unhurried, and consistent. On weekdays, I offer evening drop-in visits, which tend to be a natural and comforting time for most cats, which is quiet, predictable, and aligned with their evening routines. On weekends and holidays, I’m available between 10am–5pm, with more flexibility to match your cat’s preferred schedule. At home, I care for my own five cats every day, so multi-cat routines, different personalities, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment are already part of my daily life. When I visit your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness—never rushed, always respectful of your cat’s pace and space. I also keep my bookings intentionally limited so each cat receives steady, thoughtful care. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, or medication, I make sure every visit feels consistent and reassuring for both you and your cat. My primary service is caring for cats in their own home, where many feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to doors, windows, lights, and entry routines. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat and home in someone else’s care, so I treat both with great respect and attention. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s personality and your preferences. Some cats want play and affection, while others prefer quiet company and space. I pay close attention to food, water, litter box habits, and any small changes in behavior. After every visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos, videos, and a clear report, so you can feel informed and at ease while you’re away. If I ever care for a cat in my home, I would focus on slow introductions, separated food, close monitoring, and a calm, clean environment. My five resident cats are all up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and I always respect each cat’s pace and comfort level.

“Ashoka and his amazing son watched our toy poodle for several days. I am so impressed at the love and attention they gave our dog . Several walks a day, cuddling, and sleeping together. I will always use them when away!”

Neil C.

“Casey was awesome with Coda! She had a great time hanging out and running around with her dog Jojo. She’s already been sleeping most of the day just from all the fun she had there.”

Logan G.

“Jennifer is amazing! She was caring and her family loved my dog during his stay as my family would love him. Definitely recommend her services and she’s in my corner for another pet stay if I have to go somewhere in the future with no hesitation.”

About: Hi! I'm Laurie, and I'd love to care for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover, I know that pets are family. Whether you're away for the day or taking a longer trip, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own familiar environment, and if needed, in my home. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine. I believe every dog and cat deserves plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and gentle care. I take the time to get to know your pet so they feel relaxed and happy while you're away. You can count on me to: Follow your pet's routine and feeding schedule carefully. Provide plenty of love, attention, walks, and playtime. Keep water bowls full, administer simple medications if needed, and clean up after your pet. Send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. Treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved pet is a big decision. My goal is to earn that trust through reliability, kindness, and open communication from our first meeting through every visit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. I'd be honored to provide the loving care they deserve while you're away! I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests when my schedule permits. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), exercise routines, and any house rules you have for your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible, since familiar surroundings help them feel safe and relaxed. I'll make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of affection, and the attention they need. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure and tidy while you're away. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll be welcomed into a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they'll receive plenty of individual attention, supervision, and love. I'm currently in the process of building a secure fenced yard so dogs will soon have a safe, enclosed space to run, play, and explore under my supervision. Until the fence is complete, all outdoor time will be closely supervised and dogs will remain safely leashed. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were part of my own family. I also keep pet owners informed with regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”

About: Hi! I’m Willa I’m a 29 year old living in downtown Frederick. Professionally, I am a licensed social worker. I had a dog from age 7 until he died when I was 22. I haven’t been able to get a new pet due to costs, but I love taking care of my friends dogs when they are on vacation so I decided to sign up here to make some money doing it. I can only board small to medium dogs due to the size of my apartment. I have a bed, food bowls, toys and treats but I do not have a crate. I’m responsible and respectful of other people’s homes. I can travel up to 15 miles to drop in on your pet before work, during my lunch break if needed, and in the afternoon/evening. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, various medical needs, and I have no problem cleaning up messes!

“Carmen and her husband were very nice. They watched our 7 pound Yorkie, Cooper, for the weekend while we were at a wedding. They gave us daily updates with cute photos. And Cooper was really happy when we came to pick him up. Their two dogs were great with Cooper and he enjoyed playing with them.”
