Dog Sitting Arnold

About: I’ve had dogs since I was young, I love dogs. I enjoy meeting their different personality traits and getting to know them. Dogs make my heart melt & my own dog genuinely gets me up every morning. I will take care of your dogs as though they are my own because i know the fear that comes associated since I’ve kept my dog with others myself. I have a pitbull as well as 2 cats so I love any size, any attitude, any pet. They’re all perfect lovable creatures, no matter the personality type & I really enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them or even just laying with them and cuddling. It’s seratonin for us both! My pets are my best friends and I would like to make your pets the same way. The excitement of seeing my pet friends every day is such a blessing I’m grateful to experience. I have tons of love & affection to give (or none at all, if they prefer) & I’m excited to share it with your pets I’m currently in school for social work so I have a lot of extra time on my hands, I love filling it with our furry friends. I understand all methods of caretaking when it comes to our pets. If your dog is a jumper, I’ll always watch and make sure they don’t jump over any fences. I am somewhat of a hover parent myself & I keep such an eye on my pets, they’ve never had an accident resulting in a vet visit. I also understand sensitive stomachs & our babies that are dying to eat everything, itching for a vet appt but not on my watch. I multitask well so your pet will never go unnoticed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, I have watched family, friends, and neighbors dogs. I also have experience with dogs that need medication or extra care! I have watched dogs of all ages as well! I’m currently a college student so I have plenty of time to play with pets on days I don’t have class, and during class days I can stop by and do quick potty breaks! I love to make sure that pets have everything they need, including lots of pets and cuddles. I have one dog of my own at home as well!

About: I have been walking and sitting dogs for over 20 years, starting at age 11 when I realized dogs just made sense to me. I have owned hounds my whole life and currently share my home with a spirited beagle/jack russell mix named Tate who keeps me well-practiced with high-energy breeds. I recently lost our beloved 11-year-old foxhound mix Juniper, a gentle 70-pound soul who reminded me daily why this work matters. I am a firm believer in Cesar Millan's calm, assertive approach to dog handling. Dogs respond to confident, consistent leadership, and I bring that to every walk and every stay. I am comfortable with all breeds, large and small, and experienced administering medications and hands-on therapy when needed. I work from home in central Annapolis, which means flexible scheduling and plenty of attention for your dog during the day. Your pup is a member of your family and I always treat them like a member of my own. I own a design firm that I run out of my home. My work varies as a creative from video work to graphic design and more but it all comes from my home office located right next to my dog's food and water bowls (my hound dog Tate is currently asleep at my feet- exactly where he loves to be, and right where I love to have him). My workdays typically start around 7am and I work through the early afternoon, occasionally in the evenings. Though I have a full office setup, I also have a laptop that travels with me during house/dog sitting sessions if I need to be away for an extended period of time. As my work is on the creative spectrum, I can always adapt my schedule to fit around yours (and your pup's). Whether it's daily walks or stays with your dog, you can rest assured that they will be looked after with love, care, and the attention they deserve. I live in an apartment in Annapolis so we don't have a fenced in yard. Instead, I take my boy out in the neighborhood on short and extended walks and in the community dog park. Sniff spots and local trails are always on our schedule as our dog is high-energy so he thrives on long walks with lots of smells. Depending on your dog's needs and routine, I'm happy to take them on long walks in and around your neighborhood and parks they're comfortable with, or just playing with them in your own backyard. I'm also open to taking them further out to nature hikes and trails as long as you're comfortable with that. I tend to have Blue Buffalo, Newman's Own, and Charlee Bear treats at the ready (but of course that's up to your discretion) for good dogs and I always adhere to any diet or medication requirements to ensure a happy and healthy experience. I treat your dog like I treat my own and I've always had a great experience with every breed and personality.

“Shannon was VERY professional annd anssis is last minute when our previous planned provider feel through. She took time with our dog. Feedback was excellent and she gave him attention and care while we were away for the day. I definitely recommend her!!!”

“Rachel G. did an outstanding job, while we were away for a week over the holiday. We loved getting the pics and video showing our surly little cat coming out from hiding and really warming up to Rachel. She was well-fed, watered and very content when we got home. Couldn't ask for more than this kind of peace of mind. Highly recommend and will rebook Rachel's services.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. Animals naturally feel calm around me, and I treat every pet like my own with plenty of play, walks, and affection. I currently work part-time during weekdays and am available for drop-ins and walks around 1 PM in D.C., as well as evenings and nights during weekdays and weekends. Let’s communicate and I’ll do everything in my power to make it work for you and your pet! I treat every pet like family.

About: I have lifelong experience with animals. I grew up on a farm caring for cows and chickens, and I have pets of my own, so responsibility and consistency are second nature to me. I’m patient and attentive with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who may need extra care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and carefully following detailed care instructions. I pay close attention to routines and behavior, and I treat every pet like family while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I currently work full-time, but I have flexibility in my schedule on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am available Tuesdays and Wednesday starting at 3:30pm. I am also very flexible and available most Saturdays and Sundays. I do my best to accommodate pet parents’ needs and am happy to discuss scheduling options to find a time that works for everyone. I treat every pet like my own, follow routines carefully, respect your home, and prioritize safety so you can feel confident while you're away.

“Elias has been kind and attentive to our high energy, anxious hound mix, Moose. Moose was uncertain about Elias when they first met, but Elias went at his pace and gave him time and grace to adjust. Moose now LOVES playing with Elias. Elias has been great to work with — he’s responsive and flexible. We greatly appreciate his support with keeping Moose happy while we’re away at work. We highly recommend Elias to care for your pets.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover, a mom, and someone who genuinely enjoys taking care of animals. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life, so I understand that they aren’t “just pets”… they’re family. ❤️ I’m offering drop-in visits and general pet care for people who need a little extra help keeping their furry family members happy, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away or busy. During a visit, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, attention and cuddles, litter box or other pet-area cleanup, medication if needed, and general tidying up after your pet. I’m also happy to follow your normal routines and instructions because I know every animal has their own little quirks and preferences. My goal is simple: you should be able to leave your home knowing your pets are being cared for by someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. I’m a mom trying to build a little extra income while helping other pet parents at the same time. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your animals, and I’ll treat that responsibility seriously. I’m not afraid of the less glamorous parts of pet care either. Messes happen. I’ll clean up after your pets and leave their space the way I’d want someone to leave mine. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, some playtime and affection, a fresh litter box, or simply someone to make sure everything is okay, I’d love to help. 🐾 I work full-time and also have a part-time job, so my regular availability is primarily evenings and weekends. That said, I understand that pets don’t always operate on a convenient schedule! I’m happy to work with you to make time for drop-in visits when needed, including checking in, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, and giving your pets the attention and care they need. My goal is to be dependable and flexible while working around my schedule. Pet safety is always my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routines carefully, while paying close attention to their behavior, surroundings, food, water, and overall well-being. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, and I’ll never take unnecessary chances with your pet’s safety. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away.

“Bryan did an excellent job dropping in on our two elderly dogs and my cat 4x a day for three days. I highly recommend him. He followed my instructions with medications for my dogs precisely. Walked and spent time with them all and sent great pictures and reports daily. We are very pleased with Bryan’s outstanding care for our fur babies. I already rebooked with him for future dates.”

About: I have walked, taken care of, fed, and bathed over 30 dogs at once! I used to be a dog caretaker at a doggy daycare/lodging ! :) I use my skills to ensure safety to all pups while watching groups (up to 20!) and maintain my visual observations in playtime. I play and take care of dogs of all sizes (and cats)! I understand both cat and dog behaviors. I remember up to 40 dogs’ first and last names, what they eat, how they eliminate, their breed, and how their stay is and if they’re playing with other pups! I walk 10-15 dogs a day and always keep them under control on leashes. I correct them effectively and give praise when it’s needed. I love all puppers that come my way! With that being said, I would love to meet you and your pup/kitty! My experience won’t let you down and I am looking forward to further our conversation! Dedicated professional with full-time commitments, I prioritize exceptional pet care by offering flexible availability on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and certain weekdays before or after standard work hours. This demonstrates my commitment to accommodating the diverse needs of both clients and their beloved pets, ensuring reliable and tailored care. In providing pet care, I tailor my approach based on the specific service and environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or at the client's residence, I prioritize the well-being and individual needs of each animal. I maintain a safe and comfortable environment, adhering to established routines, dietary requirements, and any medical considerations. Additionally, my attention to detail extends to administering medications when necessary. With a commitment to creating a positive and enriching experience, I ensure that both the pets and their owners feel confident and satisfied with the level of care provided.

“Casey provided excellent care for my cats, honored all my requests and even kept the place tidy. Will definitely book with her again.”

Robert D.

“I recently had the pleasure of using Casey's services for a weekend, and I couldn't be happier! From the start, it was clear that she truly loves dogs and knows what she's doing. She came to my house each day to let my dog out and feed him. My dog, who usually gets nervous around new people, warmed up to her right away because of her calm and friendly nature. She made sure my dog was well-fed and got plenty of playtime. She also sent me updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. When I came back, the house was spotless, and my dog was happy and relaxed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog watcher. I'll definitely be using her services again! Thank you, for taking such great care of my furry friend!”
