About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds and sizes for over 5 years. Coworker and friends trust me with their precious fur babies. I’m patient enough to work with puppies or senior dogs as well. I’m also very comfortable with cats and their different temperaments. I’m currently working part time remotely so I have the flexibility and time to give your pets all the love and care they need. With enough notice I can be available any day of the week at any time. I currently live where there is a pet limit but I am free and available to travel to you to look after any of your pets.

“Sam was available last minute for a week of daily walks for our labradoodle. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.

“Michael did a great job taking care of our dog! She immediately took to him and was nice and tired after good long walks. Very communicative and easy to work with!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and absolutely adore caring for and walking/running/playing/cuddling with any and all animals! I’d love to care for your pet and hopefully brighten their day the same way they’re sure to brighten mine! As a cat owner, i make sure to follow a routine every day with feeding, cleaning after, playing with and challenging my cats! When a I’m living with dogs I will create a daily routine to walk and play with them! I will care for anybody’s pet with the same respect and caution i care for my own! Understanding their behavior and personality is the biggest key! Will be vigilant and communicative with their owner!

“Emily continues to be a wonderful find for us! She's always on time, provides great feedback on what my pup was like, and takes good care of my dog. Will definitely continue using her!”

About: * 11 years experience caring for small breed dogs * Prioritize their unique safety needs * Experienced with senior dogs * Can administer medication * Frequent photo and video updates I’m self-employed and have a flexible daily schedule including breaks and lunch. I work mainly from coffee shops in the Bethesda, Rockville and Silver Spring areas so I can change my location based on where you live to be nearby for multiple walks per day. For in home care: I ask pet owners to give me a tour of the rooms and areas of your home that your dog has access to. I look for hazards: unattended trash cans; poisonous food on floors and counters; mouse traps and bug sticky tape; cords and wires that can be chewed; miscellaneous objects like small kid’s toys; hard floors that won’t protect from jumping or falling. Next, I ask for a list of activities that your dog enjoys. For walking: I need a list of your dog’s 1. triggers ie., large dogs, loud noises, kids 2. good tendencies i.e., likes to mark every tree, chases birds, says hi to neighbors 3. challenges i.e, pulls the leash, attacks large dogs or specific breeds, eats random objects on the ground

About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.

“Sandi was able to step in for me in an emergency situation and I could not have been more grateful. It’s clear that Sandi is an experienced dog walker in the area and knows just where to take the dogs so they can play and have fun. Thank you Sandi!”

About: I’ve had 3 large dogs since I was young, am experienced with strong/quick running dogs, and love to care for animals! I understand dog body language and dog behavioral principles and am excited to build relationships with clients and their pets. I am a college student! Wednesdays and Weekends work best for me but I am flexible. I do not have a car and would prefer clients who are in walking/bus distance. My campus is spacious with safe neighborhoods surrounding it that are perfect for dog walking! I would love to provide drop-in services to your pooch! Understanding your dog’s routine and the rundown of your house is ideal for me to provide the best service I can.

About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.

“Jenny was great! You could tell she loves dogs and knows how to work with them. A true pro. If my dog could talk, I know she would say that she really liked Jenny too.”
