Dog Sitting Poolesville

About: Hello! My name is Ricardo and I am 27 years old. When I was a child I grew up in a home taking care of several animals. In my teens I had a poodle and a cat. No job is too big or too small. I have already had the opportunity to take care of 4 adorable puppies in my previous apartment. I currently have more availability for your pet. I'm looking to spend my free time doing what I like the most. I will take care of your beloved pet in your home following all your desires and needs! I have a part-time job in the afternoons on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. I am ready to receive your pets on the days that I am available, play with them and take them for a walk as many times as necessary. Give them all the necessary love and security that they are in a safe place for their stay, we love to go for a walk and generate trust between your pet and me. Make them play and fill them with hugs and kisses.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve fostered, adopted, and cared for many dogs. Puppies and kittens are my specialty, but senior animals deserve just as much love. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. With a flexible schedule, I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I care for dogs and cats by following their routines, providing meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, affection, and plenty of patience and attention. My goal is simple: a happy pet is a cared-for pet

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a child, and I can’t imagine it any other way! From toy poodles to Rottweilers, dogs have always been fundamental members of our family. I have also watched numerous cats for friends and family over the years, and I’ve made several furry friends along the way! I have open availability for pet care during the weekends, and I am available during weekdays from 10-5 (hours may be modified to better fit a client’ schedule). I have a 2 year old Bernadoodle named Lily! She is exceptionally sweet and great with other animals, so your pet will always have a furry friend nearby! If you prefer, I can also keep your animal separated from Lily as I have several portable gates. Pets are always treated as members of the family with ample love, attention, and belly rubs!

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds for years, and friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love on their pups like my own. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout both weekdays and weekends, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate boarding, daycare, and drop-offs or pickups as needed, and I do my best to make each pup feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home during their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take introductions slowly to help everyone feel safe. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, potty routines, crate routines, medications, and any care instructions you provide so your pup can have a smooth and stress-free stay. My goal is to make every dog in my care feel secure, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15, giving me 21 years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, including rodents. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and boundaries. What sets me apart is how mindful I am of an animal’s energy and body language. I don’t force interaction or expect every pet to warm up immediately. I’m patient, loving, attentive, and happy to let your pet set the pace while I earn their trust. Whether your pet is outgoing and affectionate, independent, shy, or just particular about how they like things done, I’ll care for them with the same patience, respect, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already structure my days around caring for my own dog. I’m used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and consistency they need. I’m available for walks and drop-ins outside of my weekday work hours, as well as evenings, weekends, and overnight house sitting. I’m reliable about routines and happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible. I care for each pet based on their individual routine, personality, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal feeding, walking, play, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m very attentive to body language and energy, so I never force interaction. Whether a pet wants lots of affection and playtime or prefers a little more space, I let them set the pace. During walks and drop-ins, I focus on safety, exercise, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. I also understand that caring for someone’s pet means respecting their home. I’m clean, responsible, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve always had a deep love and connection with furry friends, which inspired my journey toward becoming a veterinarian. What sets me apart is not just my lifelong passion for animals but also my understanding of their unique needs at every stage of life. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, providing extra attention to senior pets, or ensuring each animal feels safe and loved, I bring a thoughtful, expert touch to my care. I love to spend time caring for furry companions, enjoying moments together like watching TV and relaxing. It’s a perfect opportunity to give them lots of attention and love! There’s a dog park just around the corner from my building, offering plenty of room for them to decompress and burn off energy. I treat pets like family and will make sure your furry friends feel loved and cared for. Expect lots of cuddles—they might even start demanding more from you! I also enjoy taking pets on car rides, with the paw-rent's permission, of course.

“Irena was great with Duke. When she came to meet him he instantly took to her. So happy she was able to take care of him while we were gone.”

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. Having grown up with dogs and currently caring for three cats since 2021, I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are for pets—especially when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, or simply giving them space to feel safe. I am especially good with shy or sensitive pets, taking time to build trust and help them feel relaxed in a new environment. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of pet parents’ instructions, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and home care rules. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Most importantly, I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—because I know they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am available outside of my regular work hours, as well as on weekends and holidays, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care when pet parents need it most. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive proper attention, timely feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am dependable, punctual, and flexible, and I always communicate clearly about availability to make scheduling easy and stress-free. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I do not provide care in my own home, but I am happy to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and respect household routines, rules, and boundaries. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times—whether that means secure doors and windows, clean food and water areas, or safe play and litter box environments. I am attentive, reliable, and respectful of your home, and I treat both your pets and your space with care. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Stacey was great! Easy to communicate with and followed instructions. She was super helpful especially since my request was last-minute. She arrived at the time she specified. She’s got a great personality and was patient with caring for my dog.”

“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies. We have a senior dog who requires a lot of care and we had no worries what so ever while we were away with all the updates and pictures of her visits. I would highly recommend Rachel for all your pet care needs!”

About: I have been around dogs almost my whole life and enjoy taking care of them! I got my dog when I was around 15 and she is genuinely the best part of my life! I know how difficult it is to find someone you trust enough to take care of your dog and will make sure that I can be that person for others. I’ve dog sat for people throughout the years and it is such an amazing experience to spend time with the dogs. I am currently searching for a full time job after recently finishing university so my availability to take care of your furry loved ones is pretty open. Growing up my mom has always been employed as a house cleaner and would take me with her to help, from a young age I’ve always known how to respect people’s homes even when they are not present. Ensuring that people are comfortable enough to trust me with their pet in their home is my utmost priority.

About: As someone who works remotely, I'm fortunate to have the flexibility to be available whenever your pup needs attention, whether it's for a walk in the park, some playtime, or just a reassuring presence while you're away. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I look forward to providing them with the love and care they deserve during our time together. I’m very flexible! I work remotely so I can care for your pet at any time, anywhere. Since I am home all day I have plenty of time to tend for your pet! I live in a pet friendly apartment with a dog park and dog spa in my building! I have no problem hosting your pup at my space.

“Christa has a way with animals - my cats liked her immediately when she came over to meet them before my trip. She sent pictures every day. Seeing that all was well helped me relax and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with my family!”

About: Tons of experience walking dogs, plus years of experience caring for cats. While not formally trained I have an understanding for animal psychology and how best to interact in a respectful way. I also have experience administering medication for pets, including giving senior cats their insulin shots. I take walks almost every day, but would love to share than time (and get out even more) with a pup or two in tow! I treat your animals like my own, with unconditional love and attention. I respect their, and your, space and proceed as a guest in your space.

About: My name is Ayathma and I am 20 yrs old. I enjoy using Rover to gain experience with all pets! I am still learning however, I will make sure to give your pet the love and care it needs. I love all pets of all sizes and will make sure your pet is happy when returned to you. I do not discriminate on how your dogs/cats act or look every animal is different and all animals need the love and attention they seek. Thank you for choosing me to be your dog sitter!

About: I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats since I was a toddler! My family has always had Sheltie dogs, and I have always had cats of my own! I have experience as a foster parent to cats and kittens of all sizes. My cat Tater Tot is a foster fail! I also have experience dog and cat sitting for friends over the years, including in home care, dog walking, senior dog care, and puppy care as I raised my own dog, Honey, from just a few months old! I am currently in the midst of starting my own pastry business, so I am extremely flexible as I work through the paperwork and business planning! I am completely flexible in my schedule, and am available any day of the week any time as my work is a currently remote and flexible! I currently do not offer care in my home, but I am very comfortable doing pet care in clients homes. My most recent dog-sitting client had three dogs of various ages and temperaments, and I was comfortable entering the home, walking and spending time with them, feeding and giving the elderly dog medication, then crating the two others! As a pet parent, I know how important it is to spend quality time and play time with pets while they are missing their family!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a senior rat terrier/pitbull mix, including daily walks, feeding, bathing, and full grooming (teeth brushing, skincare, and coat care), as well as cat sitting for two cats at a time over multiple school breaks — covering feeding, litter maintenance, and full house upkeep. i’m a university student in the dc area, so pet care fits right into my routine. i’m free any day of the week — currently flexible around an 8:30-4:30 work schedule, and completely open from august 7th through the following few weeks, so i can drop in whenever works best for you. i have a car right now for full mobility across dc, and once school starts back up i’ll be in the city daily and comfortable getting around by metro or rideshare. if your place isn’t metro accessible, i’d just ask that rideshare costs be covered as part of the booking. i care for pets with the same love and routine i give my own senior dog — daily walks, feeding, grooming (teeth brushing, skincare, coat care), and play. in a client’s home, i follow all instructions exactly as given and treat the space with the same care and respect i’d want for my own. i also bring a background in sensitive, high-trust caregiving through patient care work (hospice and reproductive health support), so i’m comfortable and calm handling situations that need extra attention.

Whether your pet loves social interaction or prefers a quiet and peaceful environment, I can easily accommodate their needs.

My community has its own dog park, and there are also two large public parks nearby for walks and outdoor activities. I keep toys, cozy furniture, and a comfortable environment to help pets feel safe and at home. To make sure every pet receives my full attention and care, I only accept one household’s pets at a time. Your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and lots of love while they’re with me. Peace, love, freedom, and equality for all — including our furry friends ❤️ As I am currently working from home with a nice work and life balance, I can take care of pets all the time. I love to play with pets as a break from my work as well. I love to take of care of pets and to play with them.
