About: I work in the veterinary field. I’m very knowledgeable of how to care for your dog or cat. Friends, coworkers, and family rely on me when they go out of town to keep their fur babies. I’m a full time worker who’s flexible with drop-off/ pick ups. I do offer dog walking! Lunch times are best for dog walking but willing to do morning walks on weekends. I will allow pet to have free range in my home and will play with toys with him/her! If pet doesn’t play with toys I also have a 5 yr old that pet can play with as well. I’m open for virtual meet and greets/tours per request.

About: My partner and I work together to provide reliable and attentive house sitting and pet care throughout the DMV area. I currently work part-time as a concierge, which has strengthened my professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for building security and residents’ privacy. My partner is studying online to become an electrician, which gives him a flexible schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and problem-solving. We also have a cat of our own, so we understand the importance of routine, litter care, enrichment, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. Caring for animals in their home requires patience and attentiveness, and we take that seriously. Together, we have experience caring for dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. Working as a team allows us to provide consistent supervision, maintain routines, and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We are comfortable with: • Small to large dogs • Senior pets • Multiple-pet households • Following detailed feeding and care schedules We prioritize clear communication, cleanliness, and maintaining a calm, secure environment at all times. Our goal is to provide dependable care so you can travel with peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our routine. I work some night concierge shifts, which gives me flexibility during the day to maintain feeding schedules, walks, and check-ins. Spending time outdoors with pets is a great balance after overnight work, and I enjoy being active with them. My partner studies in the evenings, so we are both structured and routine-oriented. Having pets in our care fits well with our schedule, as we prioritize consistency, fresh air, and daily activity. Because of our schedule flexibility, we are able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening care while ensuring pets receive attentive and reliable supervision.

About: I have been an animal lover as long as I’ve been alive. For 15 years I have been responsible for caring for a variety of animals but mainly Dogs and Cats. I have experience taking care of animals with a variety of medical issues. I understand the importance of consistency when it comes to caring for a pet in general but especially when they have health concerns. Comfortable around all breeds and sizes. Knowledgeable in leash training, potty training, and crate training. Just like people all animals have their own unique personality. Excited to care for your best friend like they were my own! I do occasionally work on the weekends so there could be 7-8 hour periods between me being with your pet. Would let you know my work schedule if that overlap with care. If no fenced in yard at residence will keep dog on a leash at all times outside the home. I am respectful of peoples homes since that is your safe space. My yard is fenced at my residence so if you wanted your pet to stay with me they would need to be comfortable around 2 fosters cats and children.

About: I bring a lifelong, genuine love for animals paired with hands on experience. From dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, I’ve cared for them all with patience, attentiveness, and love. Growing up with animals shaped my natural instinct to understand their needs, personalities, and little quirks, and over the years I’ve continued that care by looking after pets for friends and family throughout my teens. Whether it’s keeping a routine, giving extra cuddles, or making sure even the smallest details are just right, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and comforting environment so both pets and their owners can feel completely at ease. I’m currently in college and taking online courses so I’m able to be home most of the day if necessary. I’ll be able to take them out and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I will follow any all instructions by the owner and follow their usual schedule to make sure the pet is comfortable at all times. I’ll make sure to keep the owner’s updated and send them pictures so they know they’re pet is well taken care of!

About: I’ve always loved working with animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing calm care for shy or anxious pets. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language and always aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks and drop-ins. Mornings and early afternoons work best Monday-Sunday. I prioritize giving each pet the most amount of exercise and attention while keeping their routines and schedules consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority so I create a calm, clean environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, exercise, and routines. In addition to that, I closely monitor your pets during walks and playtime. Recently I began including regular updates with photos and texts so you feel confident while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was born. I love them. I’m also very patient when it comes to animals so senior dogs, small dogs, giant dogs, any special requirements are no issue for me. I’m currently working during the week and on some weekends but I’m available most Sunday’s for boarding and weekdays before 4 to go on walks or dog sit. I have a nice size backyard although it’s not fenced in, I normally walk dogs in my neighborhood whenever I’m dog sitting. I love giving dogs organic treats as long as I have permission from the owner. I love cuddling and I am always sure to put away any small items that can cause harm to any curious puppies !

About: Hi my name is Crystal and I am currently a college student majoring in Environmental Science! I have owned and fostered an array of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, and turtles. I currently live with two cats, one of which has Feline Cerebellar Hypoplasia. I am looking forward to meeting and taking care of your animals :) I am currently in my last semester of college, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets! I usually have class between 12 pm - 2 pm most days, and 7pm-9pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I have full availability Friday-Sunday! In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. That includes consistent feeding times, fresh water, litter box cleaning or potty breaks, enrichment, and quality interaction — whether that’s active play, calm companionship, or structured walks. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something feels off.

About: I’ve always had a special bond with animals, and my family often trusts me to care for their dogs. I look forward to making you and your pets happy too. I have a wonderful Standard Poodle named Stormi Bless. Caring for pets is my part-time job while I’m also pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice. I’m confident I can build a strong connection with your dog and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. When I look after my family’s dogs, I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I’m always mindful of their needs, whether it’s time for a walk, a meal, or just some extra care. This is currently my part time job as I am in college as well. I currently take up criminal justice, but I am sure to connect with your dog and show them support. When taking care of my family pets I am sure to make sure their dogs get attention, love, and the play time they need. When a pet shows signs of needing a walk or it’s time for food I pay attention to it all.
