Dog Sitting in New Carrollton

“Carla was very thoughtful about how she looked after our beloved cats during an unexpected time away. She visitors ahead of time and asked good questions about their care, and was extremely flexible and responsive when our plans changed yet again. Highly recommend.”

About: I grew up with a high-energy Siberian husky and a large mutt (~80 lbs) who were both dog reactive. I learned how to handle them from as soon as I was strong enough to not get pulled into the street! I loved taking them on runs, hikes, long walks, and pretty much anything outdoors. I currently have a two-year-old golden retriever mix at home who loves people, playing, dog parks, hikes, loafing on the couch, and lots of attention (all of which I am more than happy to provide for her). I was recently laid off and am returning to school to get EMT certified soon, so I have a lot of free time to care for your dog! I have housesat for friends with smaller dogs in the past as well and would welcome the opportunity to housesit any size dog :) I am located near town center market in Riverdale Park and have a car. I'm currently in evening classes so other than that I have most weekdays free for walks at whatever time is most convenient for you. For housesitting, I would need time to attend those classes and walk my own dog but would be able to not leave your dog unattended for more than 2 hours at a time. I will be very respectful of your home and would happily attend to any plants you have as well (I enjoy gardening quite a bit). I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me in your house. I will also send updates at whatever frequency you prefer!

About: I am an animal lover and have had various types of animal companions throughout my lifetime. Currently I am the Farm operator for our Urban farm. We raise ducks and chickens but they are always separate from visiting pups. Only within view for their entertainment and relaxation here on the farm. Yes we are located nearby in the city 🥰 I have a quiet understanding with most animals that I come across and enjoy their company. I have sat for many of my friends and family and am the go to person when someone needs to go out and about but cannot take their pet family members along.

FARISM27089, https://www.rover.com/sit/farism10342 I am currently focusing on dog sitting and have dedicate my time to being available to meet as many fur babies as I can in the next couple months. I have a room dedicated to pet care which has a greenhouse feel with plants but is fully enclosed in the home. It has a doggy door which leads out to our fully fenced back yard and large dog run with a insulated dog house inside. I also have a wireless camera on the areas which allow me to make sure that everyone is ok at all times. Please note that I no longer accept large breed dogs at this time aside from past clients. I am currently focusing my time on pet sitting. I am always also checking in via webcam on the pups wherever I am. Dog personalities are so amazing and fun to see. I have a double fenced yard to keep your pets safe. Lots of open dog crates and bedding for snoozing. A dog door that allows them some freedom and a large dedicated outdoor dog area for doggie playtime. They also always have access to fresh cool water.

“She was super friendly and very responsive. Communication was quick and easy, and she made the whole experience smooth and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs for over eight years now and I care for them as diligently as I can. I love any and all pets so if hired I’ll care for them as my own I’m currently working part time in the afternoons from 3-6 along with play rehearsals on Tuesday’s, Thursday’s, and Saturday’s (I’m not called every day) but during the day I’m free for sitting, walking, and playing. I’m good with animals and consider myself a playful but still diligent person. I know how much love and care goes into taking care of a fur baby and follow instructions to the letter so you can rest assured your pet is getting the best care

“Our meet and greet with Amber went perfectly. They knew just what to do to put our nervous dog at ease And clearly have great judgement and experience. We're looking forward to working with Amber in the future.”

About: I've been caring for animals for over 30 years and have loved pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by both cats and dogs, and that passion led me to work at an animal shelter where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years, I've had the joy of raising dogs ranging from tiny Yorkies to large Presa Canarios, and today I'm the proud owner of a 5-year-old Border Collie whom I've had since he was just 6 weeks old. I've also cared for senior dogs, including my own beloved senior dog who lived to be 15 years old. Caring for him throughout his senior years gave me firsthand experience with the patience, compassion, and special attention that older pets often need. I'm equally passionate about cats. My current cats were abandoned by their mother at just 4 weeks old, so I bottle-raised them myself. They're now almost a year old and thriving! I've also cared for senior cats, including my beloved cat who lived to the remarkable age of 22. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, big, or small, I will care for them as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I strive to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care every time. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with the same love and care I give my own. Feel free to give me a try! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a fairly flexible work schedule. This allows me to be available for pet visits and care in the early mornings, midday, late afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or simply companionship while you're away, I can provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to follow their routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you're away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, litter box cleaning, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and regular potty breaks. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and supervised environment where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of exercise and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs, personality, and comfort level. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals with special needs, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and communication. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they're away.

“Layla is AWESOME SAUCE!! My kitties are typically "anti-humam other than mommy", but one of my kitties actually made contact with her several times. Layla is very sweet, she's observant, she's thoughtful, she's polite, and she genuinely loves and cares for animals. I'm so happy I was able to find her to look after my babies while I was away. I wasn't worried one bit because I knew she was dropping in on them while I was gone, and she took very good care of them!”

About: As the daughter of a professional dog trainer and breeder, I have been a dog lover my entire life! I have cared for family and friends’ dogs, and also multiple of my own. I love to make dogs (and their owners) happy! I am available Thursdays through Mondays. I have a hybrid schedule for my full time job, so most days are flexible. I will work with your schedule the best I can. I currently offer drop-in and walking services. I can provide my own leash if needed. I will be sure to keep your dog as safe as possible during their walks and in the home.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets throughout my lifetime, starting at the age of 7. I’ve had fish, turtles, cats, dogs, and bearded dragons. So my passion for animals across the board runs pretty deep. Though currently I’m unable to have a personal pet of my own, that has no effect on my ability to take care and love on the pets you cherish. I have 2 dephews (dog nephews) that I love very much, as if they’re were my dogs and that’s the closest I’m able to get to a personal pet at this time. Nonetheless, my passion for animals has drawn me to the idea of becoming a dog & cat walker/sitter and I think I will find a lot of joy and fulfillment in this. I’m currently unemployed and have a very flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs daily or weekly attention, I’m definitely the girl you need for the job! I will care for your pets in accordance to how I would want my pet to be treated. With respect, and love. I’m very attentive and will be sure to take care of your pet to your specific wants & needs.

“We’ve had Astrid cat sit for us 4 times now and she is THE BEST!! She is so sweet and accommodating, trust worthy, and you can tell she really loves and adores our animals. She also sends the cutest pictures. If you are wondering whether or not to book her, DO IT!! She is so wonderful. Thanks Astrid :)”

“I went away for a week to cali and had no worries. Cam took great care of my little ankle biters. They even had wardrobe changes. My cat Poe even came out to beg her for pets and he usually stays hidden. When I got back the place was clean just like I left it. 🙂 As a sitter myself, I'm super grateful I don't have to worry when I have to travel out of town. Yay Cam🎉”

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or gentle seniors. I have experience with basic training for young pets, helping reinforce good habits, and I’m patient and compassionate with older animals who may need extra support or mobility assistance. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind. I can work part time and spend as much time as needed with each pet. I love taking care of animals. Pet care is a part of my daily routine I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to accommodate different needs. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks and any specific instructions. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates (Pictures), and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. At the end of the day I want each pet that I meet to have a loving care experience and feel relaxed and well cared for at all times.

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs of most ages with my own pets as well as friends and family when they are away. I have experience with cat medication, dog walking and feeding for both . I work from home 2-3 days a week, so I can stop by during lunch or mostly anytime during the day. I can also care for pets in the evening. I am pretty flexible! I will care for pets the way their owners intended in their own home. I would want the same done for my animal babies as well!

“Alexandra was great with our spicy cat!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, piranha, bunnies, turtles and rodents, etc! I have always loved and seen animals as the more primal side of our nature but that’s one of the purest forms of love that one can give! I am currently working full time at NIH, and after about 3:30pm, I work with animals around my community. Weekends I like to volunteer with people struggling with bigger dogs and temperament issues. Walking and leash training is key in my experience. I have a big yard for good time and to keep them safe! I love being outside, and making sure that the animals are safe while doing so is of the utmost importance to me !

“Amazing job thank you so much”
