About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, as well as a few cats, for years in a more casual setting. I usually sit for friends, family friends, and neighbors, usually through check-ins, and only a few times with boarding in my own home. I have two dogs of my own, ages 5 and 9mo who were both raised from puppies, so I have basic puppy training and grooming skills. I also have experience with dogs who need regular medication or who have specialized/specific diets. I am open to caring for any pets except birds, special needs/sensitive reptiles, and insects. I am currently a student at Penn State and I am looking for summer job in my hometown. I would most likely be free at almost any time during the week and would be open to over night stays as well with prior notice. I would be open to set a meeting with you and your pet before house sitting or check-in dates to discuss schedules and specifics as well as to meet your pet. I am currently unable to sit at my own house. My contact info will be provided and I will be available for call at all points during my care for your pet.

“Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)”

“Danielle did an amazing job with our pets while we were out of town. The dogs loved her so much that now we are just chopped liver! Danielle is communicative, thoughtful, responsible and also she is a veterinary professional. We felt very safe having her care for our pets. Thank you!!”

About: I am a reliable and caring pet and house sitter serving the Frederick and Walkersville, Maryland area. I bring over 30 years of professional experience in training, leadership development, and organizational support, where trust, responsibility, and attention to detail were essential to my success. These same qualities guide how I care for homes and pets. My career involved extensive travel, which gave me firsthand appreciation for how important it is to have a dependable person caring for your home and animals while you’re away. I’ve often relied on friends and professional services to look after my own property, so I understand the peace of mind pet owners are seeking—and I take that responsibility seriously. My wife and I, along with our two children, are longtime animal lovers. We currently care for a part-time “loaner dog” named Tobi, who stays with us while my mother-in-law travels. Growing up with my three brothers, our household was always full of pets, including dogs, a parakeet, a turtle, hamsters, goldfish, and Persian cats that my mother bred and raised. This lifelong exposure has made me comfortable caring for a wide range of animals and following specific routines and instructions. At 55 and newly retired, I’m active, energetic, and excited to dedicate time to passions I couldn’t fully explore while working full-time and raising a family. I live a very active lifestyle—currently training for another triathlon—and I enjoy staying engaged, dependable, and helpful in my community. As your pet and house sitter, I provide: Attentive, compassionate pet care tailored to your pet’s routine Reliable house sitting, including mail collection and light household oversight Clear communication and regular updates while you’re away Respect for your home, privacy, and detailed instructions I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, you can feel confident knowing your pets and property are in experienced, caring, and trustworthy hands. At 55 and newly retired, I’m active, energetic, and excited to dedicate time to passions I couldn’t fully explore while working full-time and raising a family. I live a very active lifestyle—currently training for another triathlon—and I enjoy staying engaged, dependable, and helpful in my community. My schedule is very open with my wife still working (a teacher), and my kids both grown. I provide pet care with the same level of professionalism, responsibility, and attention to detail that I brought to my 30+ year career in training, leadership development, and organizational support. I am a reliable and caring pet and house sitter serving the Frederick and Walkersville, Maryland area, and I understand that caring for someone’s pet also means caring for their home and routines. When caring for pets—whether in my home or in a client’s home—I start by learning each pet’s individual needs, habits, and preferences. I closely follow all instructions related to feeding schedules, exercise, litter or potty routines, medication, and any special care requirements. I believe consistency is key to helping pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and care, maintaining routines and ensuring the environment remains calm, clean, and safe. I monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate proactively if anything seems out of the ordinary. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. If pets are cared for in my home, they are welcomed into a calm, structured environment with close supervision, appropriate activity, and plenty of attention. Safety, cleanliness, and comfort are always priorities. Above all, I care for every pet as if they were my own. Trust is at the core of what I do, and pet owners can rely on me to be attentive, communicative, and dependable ensuring their pets and homes are well cared for at all times.

“Rylyn took great care of Mimi. She even got her to come out of hiding. No one else besides me has been able to since Dec, 2023. Great accomplish. Rylyn jumped in to pick up extra visits - left earlier & delayed getting back on time. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve dog sat for a few family friends and absolutely loved it! I love animals (especially dogs) and would be happy to care for your doggo. I currently work part time but I set my own hours! So evenings or early mornings could definitely work out for me. I also am a college student starting back up in the fall semester of 2025 but my schedule is very flexible. I don’t think I would be able to care for your pets in my current living situation but would be happy to come to you when needed! I love walking and I’d be thrilled to bring a friend along with me (your dog).

“This was the first time I had booked Lauren to pet sit for me, and I would certainly use her again. She was very friendly when I first met her in person and I could tell that she was an animal lover. She was so nice, that in addition to making her daily trips to feed and water Sinbad, but she also watered some potted landscape plants for me that I bought right before my trip which had not planted in the ground. Both Sinbad and the plants were in very good condition when I returned home.”

“Hannah did such a wonderful job with our mini Aussie. He is very timid and anxious with strangers because he has been bounced from shelter to shelter before we adopted him. Benny warmed up to Hannah and allowed her to give him belly rubs!”

About: I have lived my whole life with animals of every size and shape. I currently have three young adult rescue dogs of medium size and an adult bearded dragon. My pets are my children and I always strive to give animals I have the best care possible. My husband and I love finding ways to continue training our dogs and enrich their lives. I’m happy to take on puppies, senior dogs, or any other animal you may need care for. I am a teacher and am available on weekends and nights during the school year. Once summer comes, I will be available most days, especially with far enough notice. When I come to a client’s home to care for a pet, I will always follow the instructions of the client. When the pets are at my house, their care will be a top priority. Frequent play time, walks, feeding, available water at all times, a fenced in backyard to use the bathroom, and lots of toys to play with!

“Chelsea, is extremely reliable, polite and earnest about her responsibilities! I will most definitely be booking her for future visits! I am so grateful for her being prompt to help and assist me in my time of need. My furbabies are also great full for the time she spent with them!! Thank you for being you!”

About: I have cared for puppies. Helped with potty training. I have been able to give cats/dogs any medication with or without treats. My goal is to make everyone happy. I’m currently working nights right now so l can walk dogs anytime throughout the day. I can also stay and hangout with animals as well. As of right now while still with my parents, I will be able to come to you and care for your animals however you need me to.

“Sarah is wonderful. She is our #1 choice when we travel for our kitties. We know she really loves on them and gives them attention! It makes for a worry-free vacation from us! 💓💓💓”
