House Sitting in Hyattsville

“We have a farm and Terry did a great job looking over all of our animals (chickens, pigs, cats, dogs, horses). He went above what we asked and even vacuumed and cleaned the litterboxes for our return. He successfully gave meds to our temperamental chihuahua as well and kept us thoroughly updated on how she was doing.”

“Alicia was great! Our dogs love her. Alicia had great communications with us. We received updates in the morning and in the evening on how everything was going which put our minds at ease. She also made sure we came home to a clean home We will definitely be rebooking with her.”

About: I've had dogs ever since I was born and just love being around them. I've trained mine growing up and they've been great. My neighbors always ask me to watch theirs whenever they go on vacation. I'm currently working part time during the evening, but am totally available during the mornings Tuesday through Thursday. I would be so happy to watch your dog(s) while you're at work or for whatever you need! I create a safe, loving space tailored to each dog’s needs. I read canine cues, manage crates calmly, and maintain consistent routines—ensuring pets feel secure and owners feel confident.

“Minnie took to Tiffany immediately, which is rare for Minnie. Tiffany provided the cuddling Minnie needs, and saw to her other needs as well. Overall, great job.”

About: I have taken care of my own current dog, Mack, since I was 12. I've had several other family dogs in the past that I have helped raise and train as well, I've taken care of other people's animals before, and I have always truly loved all animals. ❤️ I love to walk dogs, or cats! I can also bathe, feed, and make sure your pet has the best care. I am currently available to take care of your pet at any point this summer! I have worked part-time at Petsense and I currently work at Tractor Supply, but I will work around my schedule at any point to try and help you with your fur babies! Personally, I treat my dog like he is my baby. I love him so much and love to sit and play with him, give him snuggles, and take him with me on walks because I simply love being in the presence of animals. They make me happy, and so I do what I can to make sure your animals are happy and taken care of too.

“Not only did Mary take exceptional care of my critters, my house was immaculate (think better than I left it) when I returned!”

“Tayler was amazing! She was quick to reply to our last minute booking and took great care of Kali. She also went above and beyond by leaving things cleaner than when we left and giving our pup a much needed bath. Will absolutely be utilizing her services in the future if she’s available!”

About: I am a current Pre-Veterinary student and I absolutely love all animals. I promise to take good care of your animal(s) and love them as if they were mine. I have 7 years of experience in dog and cat sitting. I also have a year experience as a Kennel Attendant at a doggy daycare service. I am currently only working part time on Tuesday and Thursday so I will have plenty of time to play with and spend time with your animals! I can work with you on how to care for your pup and will follow all directions. I am flexible about playing inside and outside with your pup and will ensure they get the time with me that you want.

About: I've been working with dogs since I was 9 years old. It started at a summer camp located at my local shelter and at home with our own dogs. At 18 I helped foster 2-week-old kittens that were born in our front yard and abandoned by their mom. I have worked with many different dogs and have been house sitting since I was 16 years old with different types of dogs and different care levels, from needing to give elderly dogs medication to hyper puppies who need lots of play time. I fit in Pet care into my daily routine by waking up at a specific time every morning to take care my own dog out for a morning potty break, then it is breakfast time, then an hour after is a morning walk, after I have lunch is a shorter afternoon walk and before dinner is an evening walk, with several potty breaks scattered reasonably every 3 hours to make sure. Sometimes I take my own dog on small hikes or to the dog park to get some more socialization in. Outside of my hobbies and schooling pet care is my life. This does depend on what I am hired for, if I am hired for potty breaks and play time then I do just that, I arrive at the home, let the dog out to go potty, take a walk play with some toys. If I am housesitting, then I follow the schedule the owners have their dogs on as to not disrupt the dog's stability.

“Katelyn did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs while we were gone on vacation for over a week. The house was spotless when we returned. Will definitely use Katelyn again.”

About: I take the time to bond with each pet and treat them with the same care I’d give my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I focus on making every visit stress-free and enjoyable for both the pet and the owner. I’m currently a full time chiropractic student, my schedule allows me to be pretty open either by 12pm or at the latest 3pm. My schedule changes week to week but I’m pretty flexible! In the client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s routine exactly—this includes feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and any specific instructions. I aim to keep their environment calm and consistent to reduce stress. I also keep the home tidy and send regular photo updates for peace of mind.

About: As someone who has cherished animals my entire life, I know firsthand how much your furriest family member(s) mean to you—and how essential it is to find someone who will care for them with the same love and devotion you do. I also understand the stress that can come with entrusting their care to someone else. That’s why I’m committed to working closely with you to provide tailored care, companionship, and clear communication, ensuring both you and your pet feel safe, happy, and at peace. I bring experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful youngsters to wise seniors—along with expertise in administering medications and supporting animals with special needs. Whether I’m dropping in, house-sitting, taking your pup for a walk or checking in on another fur baby, I’ll treat your little one like family. You can count on me for regular updates and photos, while your pet enjoys playtime, gentle massages, and plenty of cuddles—everything I’d want for my own. Note: I’m no longer able to offer boarding services. One of my own sweet boys is getting up in years—he’s a little more fragile, and a little less patient than he once was, and I worry that boarding a stranger would cause him a lot of unnecessary stress. I work from home — this allows me some flexibility and the ability to customize my breaks and lunch based on the needs of my clients. When caring for pets in the home of my clients, it’s important to remember that the little one that I’m caring for is likely stressed because their mom and/or dad are gone, and there is a stranger (me) in their home. With that in mind, I typically spend more time with them than what is required by Rover because they need the extra time to feel comfortable with me. I take time to try to get to know them and help them feel more at ease. I treat them with the same amount of compassion I want for my own!

About: I have cared for my own dogs and cats for over 40 years. I have not done this professionally, other than helping out friends and families while on vacation. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet and home is cared for while you are away. If there are gatherings I am usually the one hanging out with the dogs/cats and keeping them at ease when there are a bunch of people around. I am available early mornings and late afternoons and evenings and most weekends I am available any hours...but I have some flexibility to meet other needs. In our yard I try to train them to stay in the yard. I have done leash yard training but typically let them run around. When had a fence yard I typically left my dogs out as much as possible.

About: I will give them the time and attention that they deserve, and if there's any types of training or exercises that need to be done I am willing to learn. My schedule is opened up quite a bit so I'm just doing some doordashing on the side so I'm more than available and capable of spending time with your fur babies. And giving Then the time and attention that they need. I'm also up for meeting beforehand if you need. You just give me all of the requirements of what your fur baby needs and wants are and I will follow any boundaries set for your place or mine.

I have a well trained dog that I can bring over if your dog prefers to play with other dogs. I understand that not every dog wants to be friends with other dogs.

“Gisela was amazing! She was very professional, sent lots of pictures and kept in touch often. Our dogs got spoiled rotten by her. She left our house cleaner than when she got here. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
