Dog Sitting North Potomac

About: I’ve had at least 1 dog in the house since 2016, I love taking care of pets and being present with them. I love their unconditional love and would love to help as many as possible!🙏🏾 I’m currently a student at Stonehill College and we have scheduled breaks. For now, when I am home on breaks, my schedule is wide open. I have a pretty consistent unofficial routine of going on runs, lifting weights, and hanging out with my girlfriend Personally, I have one dog at home and when I get back I love to take him on long walks. I also just have a mental clock of refilling his food and water. Every other week or so we get him showered and cleaned up. I’ve also helped take care of other peoples pets stopping by and taking them on walks.

“Catherine was great. She took such good care of our inside cat Abby and our outside cats as well. She was super responsive. It was good knowing she was caring for our animals while we were away - gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Catherine.”

“Lauren did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Rocky, while I was away for a week. She was punctual, attentive, and very reliable. From the start, she took detailed notes on my instructions and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Rocky’s needs. Throughout the week, she kept me updated on how things were going and promptly communicated any concerns, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. In addition to taking great care of Rocky, making sure he had food, water, and plenty of attention, she also helped water my plants, which I really appreciated. It’s clear she is responsible, caring, and detail-oriented. I would absolutely trust her again with Rocky and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and I know how personal it is to trust someone with your best friend(s) and your home. My goal is to make the experience feel calm, safe, and stress free for both you and them. I’m especially comfortable with overnight house sitting, multi-pet households, senior pets, oral medication, separated feeding or space routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience at first. I understand that every animal has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, so I try to follow your instructions as closely as possible. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with daily clear check-ins and photos so you never have to wonder how your furry family members are doing. I’ll also be honest if anything seems unusual, because I’d rather communicate early than leave you feeling unsure. I’ll also treat your home with respect! I keep things clean, follow the boundaries you set, and do my best to leave your space just as nice (or nicer!) than I found it. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to planning around animals’ needs and keeping care consistent. For overnight house sitting, my weekday availability is typically Monday through Friday from 5:30 PM to 7:00 AM. That includes evening care, dinner, potty breaks or walks, medication, bedtime routines, overnight care, and morning care before I leave. On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, I generally have more flexibility and can provide care throughout the day. For drop-in visits, my weekday availability is usually evenings, with more flexibility on weekends and holidays. **For July 4, 2026 Holiday Weekend** I’m available for holiday drop ins for dogs and cats who may be more sensitive to fireworks, storms, or changes in routine. I’m always mindful, responsive, and attentive, and during busy holidays I know that steady care and clear updates can make a big difference for pet parents! I’ll always be upfront about my schedule before confirming a booking so we can make sure your pet’s routine and care needs are a good fit! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow the routine, rules, and boundaries you set. I want your dog/cat to feel safe in their normal environment, so I do my best to keep things consistent with their usual schedule, comfort needs, and household expectations. I’m very respectful of your home. I follow home access instructions carefully, keep pet areas tidy, and treat your space with the same care I would want someone to show mine. I’m also happy to discuss reasonable home care tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping pet areas clean. Before confirming a new booking, I prefer a meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine, personality, home access, emergency contacts, and anything else that would help you feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Jane took care of both my cats while I was away and did an AMAZING job! She was super communicative and my fur babies were so happy when I got home. She took great care of them! Will absolutely book again!”

About: I grew up taking care of animals. My family and I currently have three dogs, two cats, and a turtle. All three of my dogs are fully trained. I always took care of my grandparents elderly cats when they were away as well as some family friends pets. I have always been an animal lover and hope to take care of as many pets as I can in the future! I am currently taking college classes and playing college soccer. My days are mostly free and I am very flexible to work most times of the day any day of the week! I am not currently living in a pet friendly apartment so I am not able to care for pets on my home.

About: I currently work at a dog daycare where I help care for dogs of different sizes and personalities throughout the day. My responsibilities include feeding, supervising playtime, cleaning, and making sure each dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also have experience volunteering with dog adoptions and assisting at an animal hospital, where I was able to learn more about handling and caring for animals in a medical and shelter environment. I’ve been around animals my whole life, especially my own dog, which has helped me understand how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I already work with dogs regularly at a daycare. I’m used to early mornings, consistent routines, and staying flexible with different schedules. I also have time in the afternoons, evenings, and some weekends to dedicate fully to pet care, walks, and check-ins. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets. I closely follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided by the owner. In my home or the client’s home, I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure. I supervise pets at all times, give them lots of attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient and gentle, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.

“Max took great care of my two dogs for 6 days. Was prompt with the visits, took them on occasional walks and kept me updated on the dogs with pictures and feedback.”

From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 16, helping my friend take care of their dog when they needed to go on vacation and whenever I would visit. Additionally, I’ve taken care of my sister’s dog for extended periods of time. I’m currently on winter break from college, so I’ll be here for about 3-4 more weeks. So for the time being, I should be available about every day except for Sunday. I have a fenced yard and large home. I can care for a pet in just about any place around my home at almost all times.

About: I have extensive experience handling and caring for pets. My family has four cats at home, and I personally care for one on my own.

I am currently on summer break and I’m going to return to college in the fall. During my break, I have ample time to take care of pets and offer them my full attention. My schedule is very flexible and I have my own transportation. I have four cats that tend to keep to themselves. My front and back yards are unfenced. The house is tidy and spacious with a quiet environment. No young children are in the house, occupants are: 1 teen and 4 adults.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have five: two labs, a Berner, and two rescue mutts. I also foster for rescue organizations, usually seeking the puppy or senior dogs. I can train puppies and administer meds to old dogs if needed. I love to take my dogs for walks and give them lots of exercise. I am a first grade teacher so I am home by 4pm during the week and also have some flexibility around lunchtime. I am off in the summers and all holidays. I am also available on weekends. I am happy to come to your house to care for your pet or your pet is welcome to stay at my home. I have a fenced one-acre yard and a great neighborhood for walking. I can offer your dog a comfy dog bed or have an extra crate if that is preferred.

About: I have pet care experience with all ages/kinds of pets, whether it be puppies, big dogs, small dogs, anxious dogs (like my own), or cats! I take pride in my patience and empathy when working with pets. I’ve taken care of several puppies and work strongly on training during my care! I’m currently taking a gap year after graduating from college while I apply for nursing school! Luckily that means I have plenty of free time when I am not working my restaurant job. I have my own transportation and am looking for pet care jobs at least a few times a week! I am also available for overnight pet care! In my home, I have two dogs and one cat. I share responsibility of feeding them, taking them on walks, play time, and enforcing rules (such as no begging, no jumping, etc.). I always want to make sure the pets I care for are happy and their lives are enriched!!
