Pet Sitting Barnaby Woods

“Marilyn was a wonderful cat sitter. She was very thorough in making sure she knew where everything was and what needed to be done ahead of time. She came at the scheduled times, fed them per my instructions, and pilled the cat that needed medication. She sent plenty of photos of the kitties and gave me a detailed update of how things were going, and spent plenty of time with them. I really appreciate how wonderful she did taking care of my three kitties. I would not hesitate to have her come again.”

“Larquana was wonderful!!! She was timely, followed instructions very well, sent the best and most pictures and left the sweetest report cards. I’m so thankful to her and we will certainly book her again for our future needs - thank you so much!!!”

“Thanks to Chantal, I was able to have a birthday with my family and know that our pup was in good hands! Thanks for your responsiveness and care for Xenon!”

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.

“Walter stepped in at the last minute when I was already out of town when another sitter quit on me. He was so flexible with key pickup given the circumstances and was so communicative along the way. On top of all that, he provided top notch care for my Dewey! Could not recommend Walter enough.”

“Trishell did a great job with my fur babies while I was away! She sent plenty of pictures and updates, was on time and very friendly! I would definitely recommend using Trishell for your pet care needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs in the family since I was 8 or 9. I love to play with all kinds of dogs and go on long walks. I will be available to take care of your pets anytime weekdays or weekends! I am starting a full time job in mid October but until then I am around. I have a very calm environment with a completely fenced grassy yard with lots of space to play. We have one indoor cat but she can keep to herself or play a little.

“This was my first time using rover and Olivia was a pleasure and constant professional and helped ease my nerves. She went over and beyond to make sure that the dogs were taken care of.”

“We had to book Danielle last minute when our normal sitter could not do it. Danielle was amazing with Buffy and spent time with her while we were away. Will definitely book again!”

“Quantairra was a wonderful pet sitter! Tootsie was feeling a little shy this time and wasn't very socialable but Quantairra made sure all her needs were met. Great communication, provided pictures and swept around the litterbox area when Toots made a mess.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and they’ve always been a huge part of my life! I had two big pups to play with and grow up with and every member of my family had some kind of fur baby, whether it was a tiny little pup, a big fluffy dog or the sweetest cat. Being around so many different pets helped me learn their different personalities and needs from an early age :) When I was about 11, my mom started walking dogs in her free time as part of her wellness journey and I was lucky enough to join her. That’s when I first discovered how much I enjoy dog walking and caring for pets. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, my sister and my two aunts do, ranging from a playful chocolate pitty to an adorable teacup poodle, so I’m still surrounded by pups regularly. At home, I have three cats that I absolutely adore!! They truly mean the world to me and are a big part of who I am. Caring for animals isn’t just something I’ve done, it’s something I genuinely love & enjoy. I can’t wait to meet and care for even more amazing fur babies! 🐾 I am a full time student at Montgomery College as a psychology & surgical tech major! I’m at the silver spring campus and live near by and have a decent amount of time through my weekdays! My kitty babies roam freely as they are all pretty mature! I try to play and entertain for 30 mins a day but sometimes it’s 15 a day, I feed them twice a day wet food only!

About: I’ve help my friends taken care of different types of dogs when they are away. I understand dogs can feel anxious when their owners are gone, so I give them calm, consistent companionship. I’m working full time from Monday to Friday with every Friday work remotely. More availability from Friday to Sunday.My boyfriend works 100% remotely and he can help me too. I love spend time with furry friends. I care for each pet based on their individual personality, routine, and needs. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and any other parts of their normal routine. I know many cats feel most comfortable when things stay familiar, so I’ll give them space when they want it and plenty of attention when they’re ready for it. I’ll also keep their environment clean and secure and send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Thank you! Words can’t begin to describe how much I appreciate you going above and beyond with Mimosa - from checking an extra time to making sure he couldn’t chew anything. I especially appreciate you being so flexible when our travel plans got delayed and you needed to keep the keys longer than planned. You are excellent and I can’t wait to book with you again because I know you’ll provide Mimosa with the best care.”

About: -A Lifetime of Love, Rescue & Thoughtful Pet Care 🐾- For me, caring for animals has always been more than a responsibility. It’s about understanding their personalities, respecting their routines, and making them feel loved and at home. With 20 years of hands-on experience, my journey began in Germany, where I volunteered walking and fostering dogs. Later, in Bahrain, I became involved in animal rescue. Today, my family includes four wonderful rescue cats from the Middle East, each with their own unique story. I’ve cared for everything from tiny 5-week-old kittens and energetic puppies to senior companions requiring specialized attention. -Experienced, Attentive & Individualized Care- My beloved dog was with me from 2008 to 2024. During his senior years, I gained valuable experience administering medication, assisting with physical therapy, and adapting routines to his changing needs. -A Little Home Away From Home 🌿- My home offers a spacious backyard for playtime and a cozy sunroom for safely enjoying the sunshine. With Rock Creek Park and Woodside Forest nearby, I can offer anything from gentle strolls to longer woodland adventures, always tailored to your dog’s needs and energy levels. I believe exceptional pet care lies in the little details. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates throughout your pet’s stay, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. Above all, I love working with pet parents who value thoughtful, attentive care as much as I do. Every animal deserves to feel safe, understood, and cherished. I currently work remotely for a consulting and advisory firm, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. Working from home means I’m around throughout much of the day to provide companionship, attention, and regular breaks. My weekends are generally very flexible, allowing plenty of time for longer walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply enjoying a relaxed day together. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I’m happy to accommodate their usual feeding schedules, walks, medication, and daily routines to make their stay as comfortable and familiar as possible. A Safe, Peaceful & Welcoming Home 🏡 I live in a spacious single-family home in a quiet residential neighborhood, offering a calm and comfortable environment for your companion. The house features a generous backyard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play, exploration, and fresh air, as well as a lovely sunroom where pets can safely relax and enjoy the sunshine. For additional peace of mind, my home is equipped with security cameras in the main living areas, providing an extra layer of household security. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to pet care, always respecting each animal’s personality, comfort level, and established routines. Whether your pet enjoys an active day outdoors or prefers a peaceful afternoon indoors, their safety and well-being are always my priorities. I’m also happy to share regular photos and updates, so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. 🐾

“Sara is a fantastic sitter! I have been consistently rebooking with her for months and feel confident my cats are in excellent hands when I am away. She takes great care of my cats, including shifts in their medication. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with Rottweilers and started helping my dad care for our family dog from a young age, including as he got older. I also have a two-year-old dog of my own, so dogs have always been a big part of my life. Altogether, I have around six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, and I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I recently moved from Sweden to Bethesda and currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and giving your dog the attention they need. I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s normal routine, whether that means long walks and lots of exercise, shorter walks, playing with their favorite toys, or just keeping them company and giving them plenty of cuddles. I’ll always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and house rules so your dog can feel as comfortable as possible. Most importantly, I genuinely love being around dogs. My wife always jokes that dogs seem to come say hello to me before they greet her. If there’s a dog at a party, that’s usually where you’ll find me! I recently moved to Bethesda from Sweden and have a very flexible schedule as I’m settling into my new life here. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, and different routines throughout the day. I live in an apartment in Bethesda and have plenty of great areas nearby for both long and short walks. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’m happy to follow your usual routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any house rules you have. I’ll also make sure you receive regular updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for.

About: I've had dogs since I was about 14 years of age, from tiny terriers to large labradors. I've also been surrounded by some of the loveliest (and skittish!) cats, learning to love them like my own. I work only weekend nights, which is when my partner is available. Even then, I'm never more than a few minutes walk away from home in case of an emergency. Taking care of your fur baby is always top priority! I'm always home, and would never abandon a pet. I take my current dog everywhere I possibly can, and in the rare chance I have to leave, my dog is crated or isolated in a different room. We also have access to an enclosed patio.

“Ginger is very thoughtful and conscientious — my cat had a lot of fun getting to know her the weekend I was away. Highly recommend!”

“This was our first Rover experience and if they are all like Joe then we should have been doing this a long time ago. His responses were quick, the dogs loved him, he documents everything in the app, and he even worked with us when our flights were cancelled last minute. If trying to decide on a sitter or walker, go with Joe. You won’t regret it.”
