Jennifer D. (Sitter ID: 0620)
Jennifer has a huge love for animals and grew up surrounded by everything from dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, chipmunks, snakes, ferrets, reptiles, hermit crabs and fish. Outside of owning German Shepherds, cats, fish and a Doberman through her adult life, Jennifer has volunteered her time caring for friends' pets since a very young age and carried that love for animals through rescue work. In the past several years she has helped find medical care and loving homes for feral cats, Dobermans and German Shepherds. She has experience in working with medically at-risk animals that require extra love, special diets and medication. She currently shares her family home with a 3 year old affectionate and curious ferret named “Stryker” and a goldfish named “Dot” and often cares for friends' dogs when they are away. Outside of pet sitting, Jennifer is a traffic safety manager for a national non-profit organization and enjoys being a mom, running, hiking, and painting (animals of course!). She is looking forward to spoiling your pets and giving them extra love and attention.
Oscar R. (Sitter ID: 0514)
Oscar grew up in Germantown so he's a local boy but he's traveled quite a bit. In his spare time Oscar creates digital art and is a novice photographer. Growing up as a kid, he never had a chance to have a dog or cat in the house. But, once he reached adulthood, he made the choice to own, and got a best friend for life - a beautiful Siberian Husky named Dante. Oscar raised him for 13 years from small puppy to senior and looks forward to meeting and caring for your pets both young and old!
Jessica S. (Sitter ID: 0904)
Jessie grew up locally in Germantown, and has been an animal lover her entire life; despite a family member’s allergy that prevented her from being able to have furry pets in her home growing up. It certainly increased her interest and appreciation of other people's animals though- and she gets so much joy interacting with them. You can rest assured that in her care your beloved pets will be spoiled and treated as one of her own. Her gravitation toward animals led her at a young age to do volunteer work at the local Second Chance animal shelter where she assisted with rehabilitating wild animals that needed rescuing, which was such a rewarding and educational experience. She and her spouse are eagerly looking forward to finally welcoming a kitten into their family in the very near future. She has 5 years of experience with pet care as a profession on top of her lifelong passion for animals. In addition to cats and dogs, she has experience caring for a wide variety of other animals including snakes, lizards, ferrets, rabbits, turtles, birds, fish, and a chinchilla. She looks forward to meeting you and your pets and using everything she’s learned to keep them safe, happy, and healthy...and hopefully gaining their affection as a bonus. She always makes sure to get to know each individual animal’s unique quirks, personality, preferences, what makes them happy, any special needs they may have. Needless to say, over time she forms meaningful bonds with the animals she looks after, which is what she loves most about working in the pet care industry.
Molly S. (Sitter ID: 1225)
Molly's love for animals started at an early age. Born into a house with several cats, they have always had at least one companion, from the always present cats, to a pair of cockatiels, to the occasional fish tank. Currently, their bearded dragon, Shiro, and russian tortoise, Aveline, coexist with three cats: a toothless tabby named Freddie; Snuffy, a russian blue who loves to go walkies outside; and the youngest, a little black kitten from the woods named Jiji. Born and raised in Germantown, Molly spent time in Reno, Nevada, but recently came home to go back to school. Traveling by car across the country not once but twice with their pets, Molly knows full well that the animals you let into your life are family and looks forward to treating your furry babies the very same way!
Sherry H. (Sitter ID: 0907)
Sheryl is a life-long animal lover who is recently retired from medical and pharmaceutical sales and is now free to have fun working with animals! Sheryl studied Zoology in college and always dreamed of being a vet. She worked with a vet during high school and college and gained valuable knowledge about medicating animals, including giving injections. She lives with her husband of 40 years and her lovable Lab named Buzz, plus Seamus the opinionated former barn cat. She looks forward to meeting you and your pets.
Catherine "Paige" H. (Sitter ID: 0212)
Paige is originally from southeast Georgia and has been surrounded by animals her entire life. She grew up with many large dogs and pets, including farm animals, but professionally breeding Boxers was her family's passion. From a young age she helped her mother tend to pups and care for the rescues in their area. When she became a young adult she continued to rescue, adopt, and foster animals. She has experience with large and small dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, rats, bearded dragons, geckos, ball pythons, turtles, tortoises, even fish and hermit crabs. Paige moved to Maryland in 2018 with her 5 fur children who were all rescues and hand raised by her. Those 5 include 3 large dogs and 2 cats so she's no stranger to a full house of love, affection, and hair! When she is not tending to her animals, she spends her time doing art, playing games, and studying Veterinary Technology.
Paige is looking forward to caring for your pets and getting to know you and your fur babies!
