Pet Sitting Hillcrest Heights

About: I have been taking care off dogs since age five, when my family first got my childhood dog. Since then I have cared for two other dogs, providing basic training. Professionally, I have been watching dogs for 4 years, walking, feeding, and providing a fun experience to many dogs. I love dogs and would be so happy to care for yours! I currently work part time, mostly on the weekends. This means I would have around the clock time to assist during the week. For the weekends, I could board dogs if they are able to be apart for up to six hours, which typically would not happen. I have a large one bedroom apartment which will allow ample space to play with the dog inside. Regarding being outside, I love going on walks and can take them to the dog park, as well as using the yard outside my apartment.

“This was the longest we have left our girls. Megan and Kirby take such great care of them, that it took away any stress over being gone for 9 days. They are the best!!”

About: I’m a dedicated dog owner with hands-on experience caring for multiple fur babies with different needs, personalities, and sizes. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic care, and giving pets the patience and attention they need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with dogs who deal with allergies, sensitive stomachs, and anxious behavior, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to routines and little changes in behavior. What sets me apart is that I truly treat fur babies like family. I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, energy needs, and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Whether your dog is playful and active, shy and nervous, or just wants cuddles and consistency, I aim to provide loving, dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while they’re with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for dogs of my own and structure my day around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m used to keeping up with routines, paying attention to behavior changes, and giving pets the time, patience, and affection they need. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding, I make sure each pet gets consistent care, attention, and a calm environment. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, secure, and calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, potty schedules, medications if needed, and any special routines or triggers your pet may have. In a client’s home, I respect your space and do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also believe in regular updates, clear communication, and treating every fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own.

“Alejandra did a great job dropping in on our cats over the weekend. She was on time, provided detailed reports, took lots of pictures, and asked good questions when some of the instructions we left were unclear. I plan to hire her again if she is willing!”

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.

“First time puppy owner and Rover user and I highly recommend Melissa. I unexpectedly had to work out of my DC office which means we had to travel to town and I had to leave my 14wk puppy crated for much of the day for the first time. He's not fully vaccinated yet so he can't even go for a walk and I needed someone for multiple times a day. Also, he's a handful. I was SO worried! Melissa was AWESOME and from the meet and greet just put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with photos that let me relax and focus on my job knowing he was in good hands. I saw he went to the bathroom, ate and drank and got out his puppy zippies - a productive half hour I aspire to! She even got him to #2 on the puppy pad, which is still a challenge for him! Next time I'm in need of a walker or a sitter in DC, she's at the top of my list. Thanks again, Melissa!”

“While I didn’t actually get to meet Edmond and Nafis, they were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were also accommodating when my trip got unexpectedly extended.
