Dog Sitting Cabin John

About: I’m a pre-vet student who just graduated from UVA and has grown up with two large dogs! I’ve also recently owned a hamster from a college lab! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family including puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I also have about 100 hours of dog walking experience from a shelter so I am comfortable with reactive/fearful/energetic dogs, and another 100 from shadowing at a vet practice. I am currently looking for a vet assistant job so my schedule is open 7 days a week! I am used to all day pet sitting. I always make sure that I understand the instructions that I’m given and maintain clear communication with the owner if I have any questions. I never make any assumptions and always make sure that the owner is comfortable with any decisions that need to be made.

“Rachel did a great job taking care of my two picky, spoiled kitties! They seemed to warm up to her quickly and she made sure they hd everything they needed. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: Growing up I’ve always had animal companions in my family’s house. My family has had generations of dogs raised into senior ages full of health. I currently have my buddy Timmy who’s been with me since I was 9, he’s a 14 year old German Shepard, Corgi mix. I’ve been responsible for his senior care for the last 5 years and have learned so much. I’m excited to be a part of your companions life and look forward to working with you! I am currently a full time student at an online university. My schedule is very flexible, so I am certain I can work with you to find consistent times to meet your pets needs. I believe that keeping a pet on a leash while on walks is the best way to protect them. I will ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors while being extra safe. I am a vigilant person as well, so I’ll always be on the look out for danger 🫡🫡

About: I love animals and had pets my entire life. As a trusted member of the community, I have grown up in this area and have a full-time healing business supporting people. I bring that same dedication, respect and dependable care to your pets and your home. I look forward to meeting you. I have control over my own schedule with my clients. With a small business, I can plan accordingly to care for your pets and home with dependability. I like to bring a calm, loving, assertive disposition to dogs--bonding with them beginning with good exercise. After which, I allow them to stroll at their own pace and share with them the level of attention they desire. For cats, I respect their space as they wish and am available to play or give them attention. I always look forward to giving any animal cuddles as well as respecting their space.

“Annah is honestly hands down the best cat sitter ever. She knew all of Bee’s favorite toys and gave him the attention he craved. She would be my first choice in the future to look after my precious Bee!”

“Noah was great! Our cats seemed to love him and he took excellent care of them”

About: Ive grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old and had independently trained them on my own. I’m a BIG animal lover cats AND dogs of all sorts. Any pet sitting/walking endeavors you seek I am more than happy to help out especially with the current season of summer travelling In currently on summer break from college with full access to a car. My major plans for the summer which includes classes and travelling had recently concluded, so that leaves me with full availability throughout the rest of the summer I train clear boundaries within the home (no wandering in the kitchen) and remain all food items and tools off the floor. I also keep various toys such as Kongs and puzzles to keep my dog stimulated indoors. I’m also pretty active myself so most of the time I like to go on walks

About: I have my own dog & she is the love of my life! Ever since adopting her, I found a passion and deep love for animals! I used to volunteer with CDCK located in DC. Animals have become my passion and I love all animals like they’re my own ❤️ I live with my partner who is more than happy to help take care of your fur baby as well! I work remote so I will have tons of time to care for your pet. My apartment also has a dog park so it has easy and fast access outside. I have my own dog that I’ve had nearly 6 years now. I will treat your dogs like they are my own! I have done extensive research on caring for dogs and have implemented various different things with my dog to improve her quality of life best I can. Whether that’s feeding your dog healthy organic treats or finding different ways to mentally stimulate them! Not only will I take them on walks but I’ll be glad to play some friendly tug of war with them :)

“Sarah was wonderful with the cats. They got along with her really well and she was very thorough in giving us updates and photos. I will definitely be asking her to cat sit again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals in my home my whole life, from large dogs to guinea pigs! I have experience taking care of animals with various medical issues, anxious dogs, senior animals, and i’ve volunteered at local animal shelters. No animal too big or small! I’m currently working full time, but I am able to stay overnight and check in on your pet anytime after 3pm. I am available at any time during weekends as well. I take the safety of your animal very seriously. I ask you to please let me know if your animal has any special needs, issues with other animals, anxiety, etc. so that I can provide them with the best and most informed care possible.

“Very responsive, punctual and friendly. Having someone in your home, taking care of your puppy can be unnerving. Heidi put my mind at ease .”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly enjoy caring for both dogs and cats. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether your pet loves to play, go on walks, cuddle, or simply relax in a quiet space, I’ll provide patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to them. My priority is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs daytime companionship, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, or medication, I can accommodate their routine and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I strive to be reliable, responsive, and flexible to meet both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where dogs and cats can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I would give my own.

“Lauren was terrific with my dog and cat! Highly recommend.”

About: I’m the dog and cat mom of my whole friend group — I truly love animals with all my heart. I even have a cat tattoo! I treat every pet like my own, with love, patience, and lots of cuddles. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine — I live by a schedule and make sure to get in at least 10,000 steps a day. I love having a furry companion join me on walks and be part of my daily rhythm. It makes every day feel more joyful and meaningful. I always follow the owner’s instructions and preferences carefully to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I intuitively find the right approach — I’ll stay close when they need company, and give them space when they need it. This is especially true for cats — they’re my spirit animals, and I deeply respect their boundaries and energy.

About: I've been walking my neighborhood dogs since I was a freshman in high school (4 years ago), and feel comfortable and experienced walking all types of dogs. I also volunteer at the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation, where I take dogs on various hikes and adventures. It's my favorite activity because I love expressing my love for them while hanging out with other dog-lovers. I will ensure that my walk with your dog is just as exciting and safe as the many I've walked in the past. It’s summer break from college for me, so I’m 100% free 24/7! Feel free to book me at any time (even early mornings) on any day of the week. 🐶🐾🦴 I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water and plenty of attention and playtime.

“Extremely accommodating and great communication. Thank you.”

“Afnan is so wonderful. I always know my kitty is in great hands when Afnan is watching her! I even joke that my kitty likes it better when I leave and her favorite cat sitter gets to come spend time with her. Perfect communication and flexibility. Thank you again 💜”

About: I've grown up with a Bullmastiff and later a Retriever. So I know my way around bigger and heavier dogs as well as more active and energetic ones. I am looking forward to apply those experiences to sitting and walking your four-legged companions with the similar dedication. In addition, we’ve recently lost our Charlie (my golden retriever) and would love to spend time with your pets to try to fill in that gap. But we are in the process of getting a new golden puppy, so puppy requests are welcome as well!

“Excellent communication, very thorough! Will definitely use again!! Thanks so much Julia!”

About: Hi, I’m Natalie! I’m a special needs teacher and currently pursuing my master’s at Loyola University Maryland. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and cared for many pups through sitting, walking, and administering medications. A few years ago, I lost my beloved pitbull, Dozer, and I still miss the companionship every day. Caring for other dogs has been the best way to keep that love alive. I’m patient, calm, and very comfortable with dogs who have anxiety or need a little extra support. Whether your pup needs long walks, structured routines, or just someone who will sit with them and make them feel safe, I’m here to help. I’d love to be part of your dog’s world. I work full‑time from 7:45–3:45, but my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are completely open for pet care. I’m also available for holidays. Whether your pup needs walks, drop‑ins, or extra companionship, I make sure their care fits smoothly into my routine so they always get consistent attention. I would treat my client's pets the same way I have treated mine and my family and friends. Making sure they get proper exercise, have gone to the bathroom, was fed, has clean water, etc. And last but not least a lot of fun and love!
