About: I understand how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind — your pet is family, and I’ll treat them like a best friend. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk, I’ll send you photo and video updates via text, email, or even IG so you never miss a moment! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have several years of experience dog sitting for friends and family. While I started this as a side job during school in Northern VA, my love for animals has never changed — I’m now based in Germantown, MD and still enjoy caring for pups of all sizes. I work full-time from 9–5, so I primarily offer evening walks, weekend drop-ins, and overnight sitting on weekends. I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so your dog can expect plenty of exercise and playtime. Some of my favorite local spots include Ridge Road Recreational Park, Black Hill Regional Park, and other dog-friendly areas in the Germantown area.

About: I've taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. I love their companionship. I also like to remain very active and get outside to go for a nice walk, so doing this with a dog is the best of both worlds! I work from the comfort of my home and my job provides me with a lot of flexibility. I will have ample time to make sure your furry loved one gets outside a few times per day and also gets showered with love and attention! I understand that every dog is not the same and might require different things! I'm happy to and will be vigilant in following any and all feeding and care instructions that you need! I want to make sure that your pet is as relaxed and comfortable as possible!
“Very honest, humble person. Kiara always there as I needed her. She respond quickly to my messages and very friendly to me as well as my cat Luna. She deserves better than 5 stars. Thank you Kiara.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have mainly taken care of my neighbors' pets, my friends' pets and of course my own. I have pet-sitted for dogs of all sizes, cats and fish. At home I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 3 ferrets, a crested gecko and a tree frog. I am reliable and punctual. I am caring and kind. I am also flexible and will follow any schedule or instructions. I am a college student at the University of Maryland and most of my classes are 5 days a week from 3 - 7pm. Besides my class schedule I am very flexible. I will follow any instructions that you provide as they are unique to each pet. If taking care of a dog I will never take them out without a leash or fenced in yard. If taking care of a cat I will make sure to keep them inside at all times. If you need me to take care of a small animal I will always make sure they are in their enclosure before I leave. I am very paranoid and will always make sure your pets are safe.
“Nat stayed at our house to watch our Doberman for almost a week and we cannot recommend her enough! Outside of dog care, she kept our house clean and tidy and was mindful of using our space respectfully. She was intentional about getting to know our high energhy dog’s specific needs and preferences. We could tell she was very sensitive to making sure our pup was comfortable and at ease while we were gone. We received regular updates and she went above and beyond to make sure our dog was given ample attention, enrichment, and exercise. Our dog unexpectedly went into heat and also had some stomach issues while we were gone but Nat handled it calmly and expertly and kept us posted of any concerns or needs. We will definitely be using Nat again in the future and highly recommend her to other dog owners.”
