Dog Sitting Forestville

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.

“I felt so comfortable with Naomi with our three cats while we were traveling during Thanksgiving. She diligently followed instructions and provided great updates with photos, and made sure to give lots of love to our boys. One of our cats even just had surgery and I was really worried about leaving him home alone, but with Naomi, I felt at ease. Thank you ❤️”

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience raising two pit bulls from puppyhood into adulthood. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and I always make safety and positive interactions a priority. I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets. My schedule is pretty open and can work during the week or weekends. When caring for pets in a client's home, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention.

Pet care is rewarding for me. I am currently available. My schedule is flexible and completely open. My flexibility will allow for the most convenient times of service suitable for you. I have experience with poorly tempered animals and overly enthusiastic dogs, I am able to handle myself and diffuse situations well, ensuring your pet’s safety.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising and training a Cocker Spaniel, a Pitbull Terrier, and a Rottweiler from puppyhood into their senior years, my goal is to provide patient and dependable care tailored to your pet's unique personality. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm place to stay, they will always feel safe, loved, and cozy while in my care. I currently work full-time in Alexandria, VA, but I work remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays. I do have open availability on weekends, and I am available to board throughout the weekend into Monday. My care is tailored to the individual needs of every animal. My apartment complex is incredibly pet-friendly with a large area right outside my unit for long walks and playtime. We also have a grooming station in case your fur baby needs a little TLC before going home. As an active young adult and someone familiar with the challenges of the puppy years - I am also available to walk dogs as frequently as needed. I also have no problem administering medication or patiently supporting elderly or special needs animals.

About: Hi! My name is Anjelica. I am a dog person and a cat person but if I am to be honest I have gotten a huge soft spot for cats since having 2 of my own. I have pet sit for people many times over the past couple of years, cats and dogs. Whether it involved me going to their house, walking them, or having them come to my house for a couple of hours. I have a car so I am able to drive to wherever I’m needed and am available most days! Like I said you can trust me with your fur baby. I am particular with how I feed my own cats so I understand certain routines that may be requested when it comes to watching other people’s pets!😄 I am available to provide pet care throughout the week (M-F) 10am-7:30pm. If you would like me to provide pet care more than once throughout the day or week I just ask that you provide enough detail and clear communication I want to provide the best care for the pets. I ask the owner(s) about anything I should specifically do or not do, how often should I walk them, when their feeding times are, etc. I just make sure I have all the necessary info so the pet can be taken care of properly and safely and then it’s time for belly rubs!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my English Bulldog, who I’ve helped raise since 2020, so I understand the daily care and attention dogs need. I’m also very familiar with cats, thanks to helping with my cousin’s cat, so I feel confident caring for both cats and dogs. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available after 1 p.m. on Monday - Friday. I’m usually free on Sundays as well. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. You can trust me to be responsible, reliable, and to keep your pets safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 6 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years I’ve cared for multiple family dogs, including my own dog since 2019, my mom’s two dogs, and my husband’s dog. I also cared for my two cats and helped raise their three kittens from birth until they were rehomed. I’ve been an animal lover since my first dog at the age of 2. I’ve always been loving and playful with them and when they misbehaved i’d only cage them temporarily so they know what they did was wrong without popping the dog. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and providing companionship for pets ranging from young animals to seniors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care is currently my primary focus, which allows me to provide flexible and reliable care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to follow their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. Before care begins, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions. During visits and walks, I remain attentive to their needs and surroundings, ensuring they receive proper care, exercise, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I respect both your pet and your home as if they were my own and believe in maintaining open communication through updates and photos. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

“We are so happy with how Norman takes care of our cats!”

About: I grew up in a small village which gave me the opportunity to take care of all types of animals including horses, birds, dogs, and cats. I have had my dog Gucci for 11 years now ( he lives with my family overseas) and was taking care of 2 very adorable stray dogs Rex ,Angel ,and a cat named olive. Angel can’t see in one eye so he needed all the help he could get. After taking care of them for about a year I decided to find them their forever homes. Rex, olive ,and angel were adopted by two warm and loving homes. Before leaving them I made sure that they were given proper care and the attention they need. I’m a college student and I take some of my classes online. I spend most of my time at home studying. Taking care of a pet will fit right into my schedule. I have a big backyard that is fenced with space for dogs to run around. I don’t leave pets outside unattended. Inside the house I like dogs to be as comfortable as possible and to roam around freely.

About: I’ve taken care of pets personally since 2014 when I had my blue nose pitt! I love all animals and am excited to see what furry friends I make! I’m currently a junior in college, so I’m mostly available for breaks, holidays, and the summer! My availability is more flexible on weekends than weekdays and willing to watch and tend to your paw-some pet overnight in the home! I love having fun and making every furry friend feel comfortable and loved, from baths to letting out the zoomies! My favorite things to do are going on long walks, cuddles, and running around outside together!

“Ashley is amazing. She took care of our 2 cats while we were away for 4 days. Took pics of our cats each visit. Recommended.”

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 !
