Top rated Beltsville dog sitters

“I highly recommend Sydni. She was always on time, communicative and always sent pictures. If she wasn’t sure about something she always checked in with me first. Sydni makes you feel at ease and confident that your dog will be fully taken care of in your absence!”


“I’m so grateful for the care and attention Nani gave to my pup while I was away. She was incredibly accommodating with my schedule changes and made the whole process easy and stress-free. My dog absolutely loved his time with her, especially the walks, belly rubs, and of course, his chicken treats! It’s such a relief knowing he was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”


“Grace was an amazing sitter! I was very anxious about leaving my cat, but I felt better knowing she was in great hands. Grace was very understanding, communicative, and went above and beyond to take care of my kitty. My Eddie received so much love and was treated as a member of the family. I cannot recommend Grace enough!!”


“Elizabeth covered for us last minute when we had a cancellation and even was willing to meet with another sitter when we were unavailable. She was so kind and we can’t wait to use her again in the future!”


About: In all my life, I've never lived long in a place without some type of pet. Dogs especially, I care for the excitable and shy pups of all kinds! All dogs, no matter what breed, deserve love and attention as much as any human deserves it. Dog trainer... in training! Fun fact: I know a lot about dog breeds! I can correctly identify a small portion of dog breeds when I see a dog. I plan on learning much more with the research I do. I'm (trying) setting up for college classes, so I have a very flexible schedule with tons of time to give tons of animals tons of love!! Currently in my house we have 3 dogs and 1 cat. One of the dogs is a 3 month old puppy, the other is his mother, and the third is a dog we've had for longer that's a Chihuahua mix. The cat, as well as the Chihuahua are very wary of our newcomers, but I make sure to treat them all the same, feed them, give them love, keep an eye out for them so no animal gets harmed, and more. In the future, I plan on having a minor degree in veterinary care for animals, as well. I am uniquely dedicated to the pet grind.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve been a dog walker for several households in my neighborhood. I’ve been an active participant in dog training since I was 11 (taking dogs to training classes and learning how to teach commands via the clicker reward system). I also have experience cat sitting. I am currently a doctoral student at the university of Maryland, so I am free anytime after 6 PM on week nights, and my weekends are flexible. I also tend to run early in the morning (usually by 6 AM) if you’re dog would like to join me I can certainly make that happen, or I’m happy to include them in the warm up or cool down if walking is more their speed ! I have a fenced in backyard if your dog wants to hangout here for the day. I also have a playful 2 year old cat who LOVES his canine buddies! He also enjoys playing with other cats, he’s never met a person or animal he didn’t like! However, if your pet is more of a Lone Ranger there is ample space to separate them as well.

“Serenity was wonderful to work with, and took great care of our cats. She arrived every day right on time, and I was impressed with how comfortable the cats were with her. She is also just a really nice person - I will definitely reach out to Serenity again the next time we are away, and would recommend her to others!”


“Cedric was the absolute best. Our three rather picky cats all loved him, and we loved the care as well as the updates we got from him. He was so easy to communicate with, and he did such a great job keeping our cats happy. Highly recommend!!!”


About: Growing up with Brittany Spaniels, I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from large Labs to tiny Wiener dogs, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds. I’ve cared for puppies and senior dogs, and everything in between. I also help take care of my roommate’s cat, so cats are no problem either! Hi there! I’m Anne, a UMD graduate with a love for animals. Currently working in marketing, I find joy in offering personalized care to pets while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just giving your pet the love and attention they deserve, I’m here to help. I work remotely on Fridays until 12:30pm, so I am here to help when you take a weekend away! I understand how important your furry family member is, and I’m committed to providing them with a fun and safe experience. My house has a very large fenced-in backyard, perfect for playtime! Book my services today and let’s give your pet the best care possible!

“Highly recommend Connie as an outstanding sitter. She cared for my senior, special needs dog with professionalism and caring. I received a lot of great pictures of her visits and she was was very responsive. Will use Connie again. Five stars!”


About: Hello 👋🏾 My name is Shaun. I’m a charismatic, easy-going animal lover with over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs - and a lifetime of love for them. I currently have a friendly 11-year-old dog named Nico, who’s always happy to make new friends (or can be put away if your pet prefers solo time). I work in corporate America and follow a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I’m typically home a few days during the week and can give your pet the attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether you prefer pet sitting in your home or mine, I’m happy to accommodate. My community also has great nearby parks that most dogs will love. Please free to reach out with any questions—I’d be happy to connect and meet you and your four-legged family member! We can arrange to meet prior to dropping off as well after you’ve booked. I work in corporate America & maintain a flexible hybrid schedule, allowing me to accommodate your pet’s needs and provide plenty of attention, walks, and companionship. Feel free to reach out and discuss if needed. My calendar is flexible if needed. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets enjoy a calm and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine. I make sure they feel safe and at ease, just like part of the family alongside my dog Nico, who can always be put away in a separate area if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine—feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific care instructions you provide. I keep the environment clean, give them plenty of affection and exercise, and send regular updates so you have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is always to provide dependable care that makes pets & owners feel happy and secure.

About: A Lifetime of Love (and chihuahuas) I’ve raised dogs from birth to theur senior years— including 5 chihuahuas (Yes, five!). I’ve also cared for Boxers, Rottweilers, Labs, Bullies, Shih Tzus, and more for family and friends. From energetic pups to slow-paced seniors, I adjust my care to fit each dog’s vibe. I notice the little things: their favorite walking route, a change in mood, how they like their leash clipped. I’m not just here for a walk—I’m here to be their new favorite part of the day. I work fulltime during the day but I am free most evenings—perfect for walks! I already go on evening walks with family and their dogs during the week, so adding a few extra paws makes it more fun. Weekends I am available all day before 6pm, and I love the idea of bringing pups along for some fresh air and company. When I walk dogs, I treat them with my full attention, patience, and protection. I always keep pups on the safer side of the road, stay alert to anything in the environment that could be a risk, and avoid potentially harmful situations at all costs. I build trust by letting each dog approach me at their own pace. I stay gentle, calm, and give them space to sniff and settle in.

About: Individual with a BS degree in animal science who loves animals of all kinds and would love to keep your furry family members as happy, active, and healthy as possible while you are away! I have over 1000 hours working with animals in all aspects from basic husbandry and pet sitting to veterinary clinical care! I work at an animal hospital/daycare/boarding facility full time, so my availability for services such as walk will be limited to my days off (usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays). Due to my busy schedule working a full time job at a veterinary clinic, my services are best suited to individual walks or drop in visits.

About: I have had pets my whole life (many cats and a dog—as well as a few reptiles) and have experience looking after both cats and dogs. I currently have one cat named Hildegard (I can spend way too long talking about her) and grew up having four cats in the house! I do not currently have a dog and I would love to spend time taking care of yours! I have flexible availability and will always check in/update the owner as much as they would like. I am a grad student on summer break, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do research at libraries during the day when they're open, but aside from that I'm pretty open with availability. If there is an issue with scheduling I'm usually able to move things around to make it work and happy to work with you to figure out the best plan for you and your pet(s)! I always check in with the owner if anything comes up and will make sure to send you updates as much as you'd like. I have experience caring for animals and always try my best to read their body language to make sure they're happy and feel safe.

About: I have had dogs most of my life and I have always said if you want a pet get a fish but if you want family get a dog. Dogs in my house are treated with respect and love. I have a 6 yr old German Shepherd that is my baby. I work from home so my dog is with me all the time. I have the freedom for walks, playing and minor training that I have learned working with my dog. I have a fenced in yard and doggie door so that the dogs can come and go as needed and spend a lot of time playing and interacting with them. My dog gets along with other dogs and likes to run and play. I do have a large crate if needed but I allow dogs to roam freely in my home and yard.

About: Hey there! Looking for a responsible, fun and loving dog/cat sitter/walker?? Then I am your gal! I've been dog/cat sitting for mainly family and friends for over a decade now so I decided to take the Rover leap. I am flexible and easy going so if your dog or cat is high maintenance or has specific needs, I can handle that with no problem. I love taking them on walks, hikes and to any kind of dog friendly environment. Your animal will be my best friend! SO pick me, choose me! I look forward to it! My weekends are open and weekdays I am available anytime after 4pm until 10pm but I am flexible. I can work around schedules on an as need basis. I prefer caring for you pet(s) at your residence because I have two cats at home and live in a basement apartment. There are also two dogs and a cat living above me so it is not ideal for me to care of animals at my residence unfortunately.

Sarah D.
“My two dogs are not only my pets but they are my FAMILY. What I appreciate most about Sarah is not just her obvious love for animals (my pups fell for her immediately) but her professional approach. Pet sitting is not Sarah’s side job – it’s what she loves and it’s what she does for her livelihood. She is extremely good at it: so good, in fact, when we are in the same room with family and friends' dogs, they tend to ignore me and go straight for her. She is the DOG WHISPERER. I have recommended Sarah for dog sitting to my friends and colleagues, and will continue to do so.”
