Pet Sitting Fort Washington

About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. With over 14 years of hands-on pet care experience, two degrees in Animal Science, and fostering rescue dogs, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, shy rescues, and dogs with special medical or behavioral needs. As a manager in an animal care environment, attention to detail, safety, and animal welfare are at the center of everything I do. Whether your pet needs a comfortable place to stay, daily exercise, medication administration, or extra patience and reassurance while you’re away, I will care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide attentive, hands-on care throughout the day. Because I keep my boarding services small and personalized, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a pet-friendly home and years of experience caring for dogs through fostering, rescue work, and my educational background in animal science. I carefully introduce dogs, monitor interactions, follow feeding and medication instructions, and can accommodate crate-trained dogs. I keep a low number of boarders at a time to ensure every dog receives individualized attention, exercise, and a stress-free environment.

“So glad to have found Lucy. The pictures made me feel so much better while I was away. My one cat can be very hesitant with new people so to see him eating and coming for attention really shows her caring talent.”

About: I've had pets for most of my life and have cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable maintaining routines, providing plenty of exercise and playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of consistency with young pets and can help reinforce good habits and routines. For senior pets, I'm happy to provide the extra care, patience, and attention they may need. I'm currently home from college and work part time at a local elementary school until their summer starts. I am available most days of the week and at most hours. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them, provide playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs and personality. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, spend time playing or socializing with them, and make sure they have a calm, stress-free environment.

About: I have had pets my whole life and have taken care of family and friends animals. I helped train both of the dogs that I currently have and take care of. I work part time as a waitress so I can help on my days off or before and after I work. I can stop by or take your pets for a longer walk. I have a fenced in back yard and there is no food out, both of my dogs are very friendly and play well with others.

About: I have taken care and loved all ages of dogs my whole life. From owning them to watching the neighbors and friends. I have also worked in a professional setting for about 5+ years and have had experience caring for all different breeds and their specific individual needs. In addition, I have training experience with Penn Vet Working Dog Center as well as some classes I attended at a training school! I’m grateful for all the experiences I’ve had and all the ones waiting to be had! I have currently care for 3 different types of animals (cat, gecko, and turtle!) I did have a dog as well however she sadly passed recently. I am able to crate dogs as well as provide medications and keep up with dietary restrictions. I am able to walk as well as play and spend time with the pups! For cats I am able to scoop litter and give as many or as little cuddles as the cat may enjoy! I’m good with feeding as well as administering meds to cats

About: I've been walking dogs of all sizes for about 7 years now in different ways and I have to say I've never met I dog I haven't become immediate best friends with. I love to take the dogs on their favorite trails, and play if they still have energy after. They will always have water provided and a treat at the end of each visit, with lots of pets and snuggles in between. With my previous experience I feel comfortable with any size dog, and can handle different behaviors as well. Though every visit can seem repetitive, if something unexpected occurs I know the best routes to handle any situation that may come up. I think it's important to think on your feet, even if you only have two. ;) I’m currently working part time as a dog walker and working towards finishing my undergrad degree in college. I am doing classes online this summer. I do not have the ability to care for pets at my home at this time. My current living situation is unsuitable for strange dogs to come stay.

“Olivia did a great job taking care of our cat Sixer. She was responsive and easy to work with and came over before our trip to meet Sixer and see our home.”

“Heather did a great job caring for my cat. I would most definitely recommend her services for your pet. She was prompt and courteous. My cat is very shy and Heather had no problem getting the cat to warm up to her. Just an overall positive experience.”

“We really were at ease knowing Catherine was watching Simon. He is elderly and needs gentle care and Catherine loved on him like we would. Thank you!”

About: I have had pets all of my life. I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes. My kids (9, 6, and 4) are also used to dogs and are gentle with them. I am a teacher so I am at work from 8-3:30. During the summer, I am home most of the time. Additionally, I would be able to let the dogs free in the house during the day. We have a small yard in the front but a large side yard that the dogs would be able to enjoy. We also have a lead in the yard if the dogs would like to stay outside for extended periods. We have one dog in our home but she is used to other dogs as my family has six dogs when we are all together. We also have a cat but he typically goes into a room alone. Additionally we have gates in our home so that the dogs can stay on the floor that we are on if necessary. We have a pretty consistent schedule and I only work ten minutes from our house. So, I can stop home if necessary to care for the dogs. We have a large size yard which has a large lead in order to let the dogs roam and relax. We also take our dog for a walk in the morning, after work, and after the kids go to bed.

“Angelina is smart, caring, thoughtful, and thorough. We have two older cats that we knew were in good care while we were away. I would highly recommend Angelina to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets.”

“Savannah was a joy! We absolutely will be reaching out to her every time we need a sitter from now on! She was easy to communicate with. We felt a lot less anxious leaving our 3 cats for 10 days knowing she would be there to look in on them.”

About: Currently the "sister" to a six year old Cavapoo dog whom I have pet sat multiple times in my home for my parents. I have helped walk my neighbor's rescue dog (who has anxiety, but seems to get along well with me). I was a regular cat sitter for a family friend (responsibilities included twice daily feeding, cleaning of the litter box, and making sure he was let in and out of the house). I truly believe our pets are furry family members who deserve all the love and personal care, so rest assured your fluffy (or fuzzy) friend will be in good hands with me! I am a recent college graduate with a flexible schedule. In addition to my experience with dogs and cats, I also owned a Betta fish who lived for four years. I am responsible for the care of the family dog when my parents are out of town. This includes everything from walking and feeding to playtime and couch nap supervision (which he loves). I lovingly refer to him as my four-legged baby brother and treat him accordingly! (Not currently offering boarding.)

“I really appreciate Maya’s patience with Oreo. She took her time with the overly excited dog and built a relationship with her, and I definitely book her again! I’m glad Oreo has a new friend!”

About: I am an elementary school teacher. So, caregiving, patience, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am and what I value. I won’t just watch your pet, I will love each furry friend like it’s my own. I love being active, nurturing others (including 4 legged friends), I’m very organized and punctual, and just helping is my passion. My Weekly Availability 🐾 I offer flexible daytime and evening care throughout the week and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine! Monday: Midday (12:00 PM – 2:30 PM) & evening (after 5:30 PM) Tuesday: Open availability with a short afternoon break (2:30 PM – 5:30 PM) Wednesday: Unavailable Thursday: Morning through early afternoon (until 3:00 PM) Friday: Limited availability upon request I tend to book up quickly between nannying, especially for recurring walks and visits, so feel free to reach out to reserve your spot—I’m always happy to work with your schedule when I can! I do not have pets at my own apartment, but at my parents house we have 4 dogs that I have loved and cared for for years! Dogs are such a comfort to me, so in return I always aim to create the most loving, comforting, safe environment for each pet I encounter.

About: It wasn't until 2012 when I rented a home with a fenced yard that I adopted my first canine companion. Prior to that time, I always lived with cats and was the friend people thought of when they needed someone to do house and pet-sitting. I sat with quite a few small dogs, as well as a giant pit bull named Miles and a sweet special needs senior lab named Boogie. In my rural home on 3 acres are two 20 pound terriers named Jack and Sadie. They do not have a fenced yard to run around in, but always get at least three good walks each day (locally, on trails, dog parks). They're extremely bonded and are good with other small dogs and cats.

About: I became a cat mom in 2019, and have since spent time volunteering at a cat shelter and a farm (taking care of kittens, piglets and goats!). I’ve always been drawn to animals and will take great care of your pets! I have a flexible schedule, and generally available both weekends and weekdays for a set period of time. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your needs! My preference is to take of pets in my client’s home, since I have a cat that does not get along easily with other animals. Depending on the duration of the pet-sitting, I can do day trips or overnights.

“Look no further; Ally C is who you want. We have always used the same person to care for Eva and Kitten. When he was no longer an option, we panicked. As soon as I saw Ally's picture, I knew she was the one, and I was right. Ally was fantastic and went above and beyond. What a relief to know that our pets were with someone so caring and fun. I have no hesitation recommending her and am positive you will be happy with her pet care. She is the best, and I can't recommend her enough!”

“Ashley did an excellent job taking care of my two dogs! They are a handful and she did great with them. She provided lots of great photos! I will use her again!”

About: Hi! I grew up with cats and dogs, and had small animals during college (much to my dorm RA's chagrin LOL) - a hamster, gerbil, snake, and a rat. Currently my daughter and I have four wonderful cats, including an orange female that keeps us on our toes 😁, and a Betta fish. With friends and family, I am surrounded by dogs - from Chihuahua to Greyhound - and I love them all! I often pet sit and walk a variety of pawsome pups 🐾 ❤️. I'm comfortable with any type of pet (feline, canine, reptile, bird, small mammals, etc.) and would be honored to care for yours. Let's face it, pets can be better than people, and they deserve to be treated with the unconditional love they show us!! 😊 I am self-employed, and have ultimate flexibility to care for your pets on your schedule, day or night! I am available for one-off arrangements, when you are traveling, or on-going regular care. I'm especially happy to spend as much time as needed with your fur babies, to ensure they are well-loved and enriched while you are away! In my own home, I can care for caged animals, such as small mammals, reptiles, birds, or fish. They would be kept in a closed room that is off limits to our cats. For your cats and dogs, I happy to come to your home and spend as much time as needed feeding, cleaning, playing, walking, etc. In addition, if the fit is right, I am happy to welcome your dog into my home during the day for doggie daycare.
