About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. Having grown up with dogs and currently caring for three cats since 2021, I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are for pets—especially when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, or simply giving them space to feel safe. I am especially good with shy or sensitive pets, taking time to build trust and help them feel relaxed in a new environment. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of pet parents’ instructions, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and home care rules. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Most importantly, I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—because I know they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am available outside of my regular work hours, as well as on weekends and holidays, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care when pet parents need it most. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive proper attention, timely feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am dependable, punctual, and flexible, and I always communicate clearly about availability to make scheduling easy and stress-free. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I do not provide care in my own home, but I am happy to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and respect household routines, rules, and boundaries. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times—whether that means secure doors and windows, clean food and water areas, or safe play and litter box environments. I am attentive, reliable, and respectful of your home, and I treat both your pets and your space with care. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: Hi, I'm Daniel! I live right here in Gaithersburg with my own dog — a Shiba Inu. If you know the breed, you know they're stubborn, independent, and definitely not for beginners. Caring for my Shiba every day has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read a dog's body language. I work from home, so I'm available when you need it most: midday weekday walks while you're at work. I treat every dog like my own — unhurried walks at your dog's pace, a fresh water check when we get back, and a photo update after every walk so you can see how it went. Big dogs, shy dogs, and strong pullers are all welcome — my Shiba trained me well. Looking forward to meeting your pup! i work fully remotely at home，so normally i have flexible time during lunch and afternoon after 5，let me know your requirement，other time open to discuss，normally no same day reservation, but if need, also can let me know, I will check my schedlue to help Safety comes first on every visit. I follow your instructions exactly — how to enter and lock up, alarm codes, and where your dog's leash, harness, and treats are kept. Before we head out, I double-check the collar and harness fit and the leash clip. Your dog stays leashed for the entire walk: I keep a secure grip and a safe distance from unknown dogs, and I always clean up after your dog. In wet or muddy weather, I wipe paws before we come back inside. Once home, I refresh the water bowl, make sure your dog is settled, and lock up carefully. You'll receive photo updates after every walk, and I'll flag anything unusual right away.

About: I've had a love of dogs (and all animals) for as long as I can remember. Though I haven't been blessed with a dog of my own, I often care for my cousins' dogs and cherish every minute spent with them. One of them is a handsome mixed breed little guy named Juno and the other a Great Pyrenees named Rosco. I take them on walks several times a day, feed them, and play with them to their heart's content. They are my furry nephews and I love them so much! I'm a fast learner and a detail-oriented person. I will adjust to your dog's routine quickly. Their safety and well-being is my priority and I will take care of your fur babies with as much attentiveness as I would my own. We will have so much fun and they will get all the love and cuddles they desire! I currently have open availability so I can care for your pets whenever suits you best! I can take them for walks, do drop-ins, or house sit while you’re away. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will leave it tidy for your return. I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while sharing their home with a stranger (soon to be friend)!

About: Ive been taking care of a four year old Rottweiler and frenchton since they were two weeks old. I have experience with handling and training a reactive large dog as well as handling a small dog with strict personal boundaries. I take care of a variety of animals regularly. I take care of a cat every day by playing with her, feeding her, and cleaning her litter box. Every night before bed I do 10 to 15 minutes of playtime to wear her out for the night. I do pet care for dogs as well, I take them on walks, play with them, give them attention they need, and feed them as well as make sure they have water at all times. For one of my clients, I watch their border collie. He needs extra activity and playtime because the breed tends to be very energetic. I take him out on walks, take him to the neighborhood dog park, and I play with him and his toys inside the apartment. I feed him twice a day, once in the morning, once at night. He let's me know when he needs to use his grass mat outside. Another one of my clients, her dog has separation anxiety and needs lots of attention. I also spend time playing with him, taking him on walks outside, and feeding him twice a day. He is different because he has lots of boundaries, but is a very cuddly and loving dog overall.
