Dog Sitting in La Plata

“Steven is sooo wonderful. We’ve asked him to drop in to visit for our girl last minute (poor planning in our part) and he has been available for us with no problem. He’s so sweet and slow with our little golden girl and has great communication. We are grateful for Steven.”

“Krystin took care of my cat, Little Cow, with exceptional attention and enthusiasm during her drop-in visits. She went above and beyond to make sure both of us had the best experience possible. I really appreciated her willingness to accommodate any request and her genuine care for Little Cow’s well-being. It was such a relief knowing my cat was in great hands while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”

“Caitlin was absolutely great! My sweet girl ate something that was causing her discomfort,Caitlin noticed, and quickly reached out to me offering to take her to the vet for me, which she did, and Nova was tsken care of with extreme care. Caitlin really cares for animals and does a great job at making sure they're safe and well taken care of. Will definitely use her services again.”

“I am so happy that I stumbled on Rover and found Tieler! As a cat mom who previously only trusted my friends to care for my fur babies, I now have another option, even better! Her promptness and attention to my cats put me at ease. She sent an update with each visit and the pictures she sent made me smile. As a cat owner herself there were some things that came automatic I know Farah, Penny and Cami all are SSOOOO happy to have met her and would love to have her return!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tieler if you need someone in the Southern Maryland ( I'm in Waldorf) area. I am confident to say your pets of any kind will be well cared for according to the schedule and activities you set with a WHOLE LOT of love! 😻😻😻”

About: Animals hold a special place in my heart. Having had pets my entire life, I am partial to cats but love dogs as well. Over the years, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets. I'm currently self employed which allows a flexible schedule. I able to spend time playing and loving on all the pets. Love it so much! I care for pets as If they're my own children. Lots of love, care, and attention. Will be sure they are fed, played with and walked

About: Hi! I’m Charlie and I’d be honored to help you with your pet needs. I have fostered 17 dogs, mostly seniors, from mid-size to xl and a whole range of breeds, temperaments and quirks! I understand that each dog has their own unique personality and have become adept at reading dog body language and helping them feel safe and comfortable with me. I have had my beautiful fur buddy (pictured) for 12 glorious years, together we have gone through puppy socialization classes and dog obedience training, (not to mention a transatlantic flight, 3 house moves & 5 deployments). He is a 12yo German shepherd, who has taught me how to be a kind, patient leader and how to work with headstrong, intelligent dogs. In 2022 the universe decided we needed another dog and we ended up with Blitz, a Siberian husky that has had a very hard life, after the family we were fostering him for decided they didn’t want him back and we couldn’t find anyone in the market for a “husky with issues”. Growing up with 2 dogs and 3 cats I am most happy when I can share space with animals. I have previous experience with dog walking and house visits for cats. I would love to meet, become friends with and help out with your fur-friend and will take care of them with diligence, love and joy. I look forward to meeting your family! I am available for dog walking and house calls weekdays, between 9.30-3. Weekends and evening walks and house visits can be arranged on an individual basis. We live on 8 wooded acres, perfect for exercise and olfactory stimulation for your pup. I have two senior pups that are used to sharing their space with other dogs and two respectful children that love dogs whilst also being great at respecting their boundaries (they have experienced all manner of foster dogs with their varied personalities and needs). I can accommodate crating if necessary but as I am home most of the day it is unlikely they will be crated unless you specifically request it. I don’t have a fenced yard, so if your dog is an escape artist then our space may not be best for them, but for most dogs this just means fun stimulating walks, instead of yard time. We do plan to add a fenced area in the future.

About: I'm a dog mom of 14 years who recently lost my baby Sky. I still have a dog but he's young and we're still growing on each other. I got comfortable with having more than one dog at a time in my life and find that loving more than one comes with ease. However, I feel like substituting the cost of multiple dogs I chose to optimize your dogs time and attention with mine. I love going to dig parks and I enjoy larger breeds. The bigger the better! I love small fries too... Every pup can be cared for by me. I look forward to caring for your fur babies just as I would my own. Let me know when you're ready to go!

About: I've taken care of different kinds of dogs since I was young! We have a key/locked vinyl white fence so your baby will be SAFE! I will be with your pet at all times, indoor and out! I love what I do! Love, walks, play, toys and training will make your dog a very happy dog! I am here day and night, so your dog will be in good hands! I will let him/her play with some of my very friendly dogs! Your dog will spend most of his/her day with me and one of my puppies here in my family room. So there will be constant supervision. We have a routine of outdoor play, walks, and training times too which will be a bonus for you. Your dog will be kept safe, happy and healthy! I add on perks such as special training if you would like. I will take DAILY pictures for you, so you can see your baby having the time of his/her life! So you will know he/she is in good hands and is doing great! I will answer your texts or calls right away as well.

“Excellent attention to detail and communication. Would highly recommend.”

About: I have had furry friends in my home since I can remember! I love all types of dogs and cats, I have never met a dog who did not like me back! I am pretty much always available during the summer months. During the school year I am up in the Chicago land area getting my bachelors degree in secondary math and science. I have a fenced in backyard, I have 3 dogs who are great with other dogs that love to play with other dogs so your pet will have great playmates

About: I grew up with a German shepherd, have owned a Shorkie (Shi Tzu / Yorkie mix) and currently own a Cane Corso. I am great making pets feel at home with their normal routine and look forward to taking great care of your pet while you’re away! I will keep you updated and send pictures so you feel at ease. I am open to discussing the schedule you need so that I can accommodate your pet’s normal routine. I would like them to feel as normal as possible while you’re away! My current dog is crate trained but also trained to roam free as he pleases. We will discuss the best plan for your pet while you’re away.

“Lorin is great with our two Dogs. She's very accommodating and responds quickly to messages. Will definitely book her again!”

About: I have always been a big animal person. I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and acquaintances since I was 13 years old. I have had the privilege of caring for many dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pet. I am totally available Monday through Friday all day, most weeks, unless I am out of town for a trip or nannying for a family. I take caring for someone else's pet very seriously. I will always prioritize that animal's safety and care and will remain vigilant when pet sitting or walking to ensure that safety.

About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life, and I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of pets over the years. From my very first fish and family cats to now raising three wonderful dogs and my beloved cat, Willow, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of animals. With years of hands-on experience, I know how to provide pets with the attentive, loving care they deserve. Whether it’s feeding, grooming, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. With an open and flexible schedule, I’m excited to finally pursue my true passion—working with animals. I have over 5–6 years of experience in pet care and pet sitting, and I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, from snakes, rabbits, and newborn kittens and puppies to farm animals like pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, and geese. I am also pursuing a career in veterinary medicine! Whether I’m pet sitting or simply helping an animal in need, I do it out of genuine love and compassion. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands—I’ll treat them like family. All of my pets are fed twice a day with portions based on their weight, and grooming is a regular part of our routine. My biggest dog gets bathed as often as he’ll let me, and the others are brushed regularly because of their long fur. My cat gets her weekly brushing too, and I clip claws as needed! While I don’t need to walk my dogs since we have a fenced yard with a doggy door, I still love taking them on walks around the neighborhood. And of course, playtime is a daily must—because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love that?

About: I’m a stay at home wife and mother, I love dogs and their people too. Over 16 years of experience working with dogs. Pick me :) I am a stay at home mom with a love for animals and look forward to serving your 4-legged family member during my free time. I have a fenced yard and plenty of walking and hiking trails within walking distance to our home. I can walk them or just cuddle if that’s more their speed. Your trust in knowing your pet is loved brings me joy.
