Dog Sitting Fort Washington

About: I have taken care of dogs for 12 years now! I am very loving, dependable and attentive. I provide a safe, nurturing and fun environment. I work part time right on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:45-5:45, but I do have a lot of free time to care for pets and spend time with them!! I treat every pet like my own. The environment is very safe and there is a lot of grass areas to walk and run around!

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked in professional pet care, taken courses in animal first aid/CPR and positive-reinforcement/Karen Pryor clicker training, worked alongside livestock veterinarians, and even had experience around Security/IED K9s. I especially enjoy learning how each dog communicates. Some dogs want to cover some ground, some want to stop and sniff everything, and some need a little patience and encouragement before they’re comfortable. I adjust the walk to the dog in front of me. My love for dogs started young. When I was 8, my neighbor passed away and left me Sawbuck, his Shepherd/Lab mix. He showed me how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be, and I’ve been learning everything I can about them ever since. I love getting dogs out of the house and moving. Whether your dog needs a good exercise walk, a slower sniff-filled adventure, or simply a dependable midday potty break, I’ll tailor our time together to what works best for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities, including high-energy dogs, seniors and dogs that need a little extra patience. My goal is to provide a positive, safe and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. I’m a Marine, so following detailed instructions comes naturally to me. Give me as much information about your dog as you’d like — I genuinely enjoy learning their routines, personalities and quirks. After every service, I’ll provide an update on how things went along with photos and anything I noticed during our time together. My goal is to provide a positive, loving and safe experience for your pet and you. I’m a Marine so following orders/directions exactly as you give them is in my blood. I love information so feel free to write/leave as much as makes you comfortable. I will send after service reports where I provide feedback/requested information and brief of the care service.

About: I've taken care of a Cane Corse mastiff since I was 7, and I've taken care of French bulldogs since I was 7 as well. I can take care of big dogs or small dogs I currently work part time. I'm able to take your pets on walks, make time for playtime, feeding, and pay plenty attention to your pets. I care for your pets by making they feel safe, comfortable and loved while they're loved ones are away, following there normal feeding schedule and bathrooms schedules, especially on walks or runs.

“Meeka has been incredible for my golden retriever. She is amazing with him whether it’s a long walk, playing fetch, or giving him dinner while I’m at work. She is super flexible on the schedule. Couldn’t be more grateful to have found her!”

About: I lived with and took care of my sisters 2 dogs (1 husky puppy and 1 adult husky/german mix). I then moved to Austin and wanted to continue having dogs in my life, so started up a Rover account! I continued sitting through Rover during my two years as a Masters Student at Georgetown, and am glad to be able to continue sitting after graduating! I just graduated from my Masters program, so am very available as I continue to job hunt! My weekends are very busy due to weddings out-of-state, but during the weekdays I am available! Before confirming on a booking I go through an extensive list of questions regarding anything from leash reactiveness and appropriate ways to approach your dog, to walk routes that are familiar and comfortable for your dog. I always want to ensure my sitting periods are as stress-free and “normal” as I can make them.

About: Hi! My name is Lyssa. 🐾❤️ I’ve always had a huge love for dogs. They have such a special way of making life brighter, and there’s truly nothing like the unconditional love and companionship they bring. My own dog, Devin, was such a special part of my life, and losing him left a hole in my heart that I still feel. He meant the world to me, and since losing him, I haven’t been able to bring myself to open my heart to owning another dog just yet. But I miss having dogs around so much. I miss their personalities, their excitement when you walk through the door, their cuddles, and all the little moments that make having a dog so special. That’s a big part of why I’d love to spend time caring for other people’s dogs! I may not be ready to have a dog of my own again, but I would love the opportunity to give other pups all the love, attention, affection, and care they deserve. I understand that dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same patience, gentleness, and love I would want someone to give my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’d love to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m so excited about the possibility of meeting your pup and giving them some extra love! 🐶💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day, so I can spend plenty of quality time with your pup! 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship, rather than only being able to check in for a few minutes. I can be attentive to your dog’s needs, keep them company for extended periods, and help maintain their usual feeding, walking, and nap routines. I love giving dogs lots of affection and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. ❤️ My priority is making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so I can make their time with me as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and naps. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can give them plenty of attention throughout the day, whether that means going for walks, playing with their favorite toys, offering lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll respect your space and follow your instructions carefully so your pup can stick to their familiar routine. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your fur baby is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I know how much dogs mean to their families because of the special bond I shared with my own dog, Devin. I treat every dog in my care with patience, gentleness, and the same love I would want someone to give my own. ❤️🐾

“Jennifer is such a thoughtful and responsible pet sitter. Excellent communication and updates. I always know my cat is in good hands with her!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and a dog owner myself, caring for pets comes naturally to me. My own puppy, who my partner and I rescued two years ago struggled with anxiety. She taught me how to read body language and adjust my approach which helps to meet each furbabies specific needs.

My availability fluctuates so just send me a request and ill see what i can do! I naturally take daily evening walks to stay active, so having a furry friend join me would be a joy. If you need reliable and attentive help with your pup during those times I'd love to connect! Your pets happiness and safety mean everything to me! Whenever I'm caring for your furbaby I will treat them just like my own! Ill stick strictly to their usual routines for meals, meds, and playtime so they feel comfortable and loved. On walks, I'm super mindful of secure leashes and keeping a close eye on our surroundings. You can always count on me for cute photos and updates on how our visit went and leaving your home safe, locked, and tidy!

About: I have over 17 years of experience in pet care from sitting in home for those who needed me to board their furry loved ones at my home. I have had many pets throughout my life to include hedgehogs, cats, dogs, rabbits, and goats. I have had a wide range of breeds from small to large and the most recent sight hounds. I rescued my bangled empress (red brindle greyhound) from racing, and while our time was short, I fell in love with her intellectual and unique personalities. Looking to walk or sit as needed. Reach out and let’s connect to see how I can help you with your busy schedule. Pet care is per diem in between my medical work. While I do take most contractual work, I tend to give pet care the same degree of care and focus I give to our fellow human beings. Engaging in pet care offers time for me to recenter and focus on the little things and be present with the furry family members! I tend to engage and meet the client when in their home. Strictly adhering to their rules of the house and their pet routine. Let’s discuss more to see how I can assist!

About: I have had my baby Dakota for 6 years, ever since she was a pup! I have seen all stages and loved her through them all. I would love to provide that same love to your baby when you are not around! After having Dakota, I definitely understand the term “a dog is a man’s best friend”. She has loved me through so many stages of life and helped me overcome a lot. I cherish her presence and company like no other. I would love to care for your baby as if they were my own while you are in need of time away. I work a 9-5. I will care for your pet in the morning before I leave and as soon as I return home. Then take them to the park to have a fun time and socialize. I live in a single family home. I will ensure your baby is cared for and receiving their exercise. For example, walks, activities outside, or even allowing them to frolic outside.

About: I will follow your pup's usual schedule for walks, meals, and bedtime snuggles to make their stay feel just like home. I have a little experience with training my own puppy. I work shifts so I'm off certain days of the week and get every other Friday-Sunday off. My schedule is very predictable and I keep a consistent routine with my fur baby. I also have family members living with me that likes to help out with pet care. Fenced yard is currently underway so once that's established, the fur babies can run around freely! I have a mini poodle mix to keep company and she's very friendly towards other dogs and people.

“Jessica gives excellent service. She is committed, respectful, flexible with her schedule if possible, and tends to one’s needs. Most importantly, she loves pets and that really made me feel good while I was gone. I’ll definitely book her again if she’s available. I recommend her to anyone in this area looking for some help with their pets :)”

“Our boys love Corissa! She is a fur-baby whisperer, even for our very reclusive old man who took to her right away. We always appreciate how communicative she is leading up to any of our trips to ensure our boys are taken care of and she has become our top pick for her attention to detail, level of care, and enthusiasm for these crazy animals we love so much ❤️”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m an active person who genuinely enjoys long walks, playtime, and keeping pups engaged. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, quiet company, or a little of both, I can adapt to their routine and temperament. What sets me apart is how attentive and flexible I am. I follow feeding, medication, and training preferences exactly as you outline them, and I’m happy to make accommodations for senior dogs, puppies, or pets with special routines. I will always keep owners updated with photos and messages so you feel connected while you’re away. Your pets are family, and I treat them like my own. care is already a natural part of our daily life. My husband works from home full-time, and I am home from work by noon everyday, so dogs are rarely alone for long stretches. We already care for our own dog, Boomer, so welcoming an additional pup into our routine feels seamless, feeding schedules, playtime, outdoor breaks, and snuggles are already built into our day. Since I’m only offering boarding, your dog will be treated like a member of our family while staying with us. We keep a calm, clean, dog-friendly home with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel safe. We follow your dog’s feeding schedule, potty routine, and any special instructions exactly as you provide them. We also keep a close eye on temperament and comfort levels, especially during introductions with our dog, Boomer. He’s friendly, playful, and gets along well with most dogs, especially smaller, gentle pups. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: I am patient with all animals and worked as a kennel tech for six months and have my own dog who I love very much. I work full time but have availability on weekends to watch pets and drop in and go on walks or just hangout with them too. I would pet them and make sure that they had enough food and water. I would also play with them if the owner wanted me to.
