Dog Sitting Poolesville

“Christina is an awesome pet walker / sitter! She’s knowledgeable and makes sure she’s aware of any training that is an issue with your animal. We have a puppy that we needed walked in the middle of the day while we’re working. We needed a walker who was willing to get him some good exercise not just a leisurely walk. She’s also watched our puppy for an event we had a couple of hours offsite. She’s so good with our dog and we highly recommend her.”

About: I have been around pets my entire life. I have been taking care of neighbors and friends pets while they are away since childhood and have been a proud pet owner since adulthood. I would love to provide a positive and fun experience for your pet while you are away! I am a teacher but am preparing to go on summer break. I will have lots of free time to ensure that your pet receives copious amounts of love and attention. I always try to make sure that I follow any guidelines set by the owner. I make sure to give them multiple walks and feedings a day, and plenty of 1 on 1 play time and attention.

About: When I was little I begged my parents for a pet, finally they agreed and we rescued a Golden Retriever mix puppy,Sebastian, so animals have been a part of my heart from the very beginning. He was my best friend for almost 13 years. We went on walks, dog park play dates, hikes, and many car rides. He was also my movie night buddy. I also have some experience with fish, I had a betta fish and hope to start new aquarium set ups soon. In the future I plan on rescuing more animals, both cats and dogs. These days, I'm a proud cat mom to Cleo and Pearl, my one-year-old duo who keep me on my toes. By day I work in a science lab, but my evenings are filled with live music, painting, crocheting (yes, I’ve made my cats bandanas) and making sure my babies are loved. I have experience walking dogs of all ages, from energetic pups to gentle seniors, and I'm comfortable handling pet medications, so you can trust your fur baby is in safe, attentive hands. I treat every pet like family and am committed to giving them the very best care while you're away. I am available on the weekends and some weekday evenings after 5pm for dog walks or drop in visits. On the weekends I can also do multiple drop ins I would like to meet the pets before the initial walk or drop in. Also like to discuss their schedules and anything else I’d need to know about them and their routines

About: I grew up taking care of my uncles farm animals. Horses, I learned a great deal about The animals and wildlife in general. I love animals and they love me. I am currently caring for a needy cat in the neighborhood who is undernourished and neglected by her owners. She is now much healthier and looks forward to seeing me everyday. If you need a dog or cat taken care of while you are on vacation-feel free to give me a call. I am reliable and I put animals first as I understand that animals need affection just like we do. I will take your dog to the dog park and play frisbee with him and teach him some new tricks. Thanks for checking out my profile!

About: I have been dog sitting since like I was 8 with my family. I have had many pets that include dogs, cats, and a hamster. I used to have a German shepherd and Pomeranian, sadly they have both passed now due to old age. But now I have a short haired collie, so I have experience with small and big dogs and all personalities of the pets. I am able to walk, bathe, feed, and brush them too! I am in college, and can walk dogs in my free time when they align with the time I do not have class. Dogs can also stay overnight, one night. Or I can dog sit. I have had many dogs, so I have experience with how to care for them in any way. Training, feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, as well as playing with them!

“Anum quickly became loved by our 4 dogs and 2 cats. She easily remembered all the details of their feeding and schedule. She fed the entire crew and kept them all happy during a long Easter Weekend. Our emotionally needy GSP and barky Aussie became good friends with Anum. Even our very shy dog came out of her shell !”

About: I am pretty new to this but I have watched taken care of big and small dogs in the past with their own specific needs. I am available all day Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs. As for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I am available after 5:30pm. I may be able to accommodate more days if my work schedule opens up. I will just let you know :) I am very vigilant and detail oriented. I will make sure that everything is left the EXACT same way it was as I entered. If not better. As for my own home, I do not have the capacity to keep a dog unfortunately.

“Ana is my go to pet sitter. She's very reliable - and has helped in last minute requests. Great communication skills. I never worry about my pets because I know they are well cared for and in loving hands!”

About: I am currently only accepting hypoallergenic dogs for boarding and doggy daycare! These include but are not limited to: Bichon, Poodles (or any doodle), Yorkies, Maltese, and Schnauzer. I own two dogs, one is a young Miniature Goldendoodle that I have had since she was a couple of months old, and the other is a senior Toy Poodle that I have had since she was 5 years old. I have 10 years of experience caring for animals and always research how to best care for the animal in question. I have 2 years of experience with professional pet sitting. I am currently a student living at home, so I have plenty of time to care for pets, especially since I care for my own. I am available most of the week, every week. My yard is unfenced; however, we do have a chicken-wire fence in the backyard for my own dog, who has plenty of space to run around and play. We have lots of toys for your fur baby, and a kind and playful dog to keep your fur baby company. I can crate small dogs, but do not have large enough crates for large or medium dogs. If caring for your pet at your home, I can ensure your fur baby gets lots of playtime and walks.

“Minara is so great!! She looked after my cats while I visited family for Christmas. Wonderful communicator and very easygoing. Everything went very smoothly and I can tell my cats liked her. :) Everything was left very clean and she did every single little thing i asked!! Highly recommend!”

About: I have had experience with my own dog, as he was apart of the family for 12 years. I love being around dogs, and I will make sure they are well taken care of! I am currently home from college during the summer and working part time. I will be available for long-term and short term sitting on the weekends, and possibly sitting during the week as that is when I am working part time. I do not offer care in my own home, but I will be willing to work out something if need be of if it’s the best option!

About: Since childhood, I've embraced the role of caretaker for our family pets, a responsibility I continue to fulfill with joy and dedication to this day. Growing up surrounded by animals instilled in me a deep appreciation for their companionship and well-being. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing love and attention, I find immense fulfillment in tending to their needs. Being in the presence of animals brings me genuine happiness, and I cherish every moment spent with them Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is second nature to me. I allocate time each morning and evening for feeding, walking, and ensuring they receive the attention and care they need to thrive. Beyond the essentials, I make it a point to spend quality time bonding with my pets, whether it's relaxing together at home or exploring the outdoors. Pet care isn't just a task for me, it's a rewarding part of my lifestyle that brings me joy and fulfillment As a pet sitter, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pets in my care, whether in my own home or at the client's residence. In my home, I ensure that the space is pet-friendly, with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, walking, and potty breaks, tailored to each pet's individual needs. Regular exercise and enrichment activities are integrated into their daily routine to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their familiar surroundings and routines to minimize stress and ensure their comfort. I follow the owner's instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medication administration, and any other specific care requirements. I provide companionship and affection, spending quality time with the pets through play, cuddling, and interactive activities. Additionally, I keep the home tidy by cleaning up after the pets and adhering to any house rules set by the owner.

About: I have over 4 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. My family has a 16-year-old dog, so I understand the patience, attention, and special care that senior dogs often need. I have also pet sat for multiple families and have experience caring for up to four dogs at once. I treat every pet like they are my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I’m a teacher on summer break, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to give your pets consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also respect your home, keeping everything clean and organized, and I provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for in their own environment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2000 and cats since I was 8. From kitten, puppies to senior dogs and cats, I love them all. I will care for your dog like they were my own. I currently work from home everyday. I can walk dogs before work, pet sit all day, or watch them in the evening or overnight. I am available for long stays as well. I have no pets at this time so your pet can be comfortable and roam around freely. I can feed, play with and give lots of attention.

About: I have grown up with cats my whole life and always make sure they get all the attention and love they deserve. I have many years of experience caring for cats. Ever since I was born, there has always been cats in my home. I learned very early on what it takes to care for them and love them. I also regularly volunteer for a humane society, caring for the cats at my local PetSmart. I am available everyday for check in visits. On Monday, Wednesday, and the weekend I can do longer visits, how ever the rest of the week I work from 8:30-5 so visits would be after 5pm or before 8am. I provide a safe, comfortable, environment where cats feel at home. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime and affection. I maintain their usual routines to help them feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I be sure to follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I can handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and cuddles. I will also send daily updates so you know your pet is in loving hands.

About: My pup is an older King Charles clavier mix and the sweetest thing ever. She just had her 12th birthday and I have had her since she was 2! I also have experience with big dogs! My boyfriend has a German shepherd and a Rottweiler who I spend lots of time around. One of my roommates at school also has a cat who lives with us! I have experience watching both dogs and cats and just have a deep love for the both!! I am currently working part-time doing an internship for my school, which has given me lots of free time. I love spending time with my pup either just relaxing, going for walks, or playing. My pup is very well trained which makes it very easy for me to take her out as she doesn’t require a leash. However, I have experience with dogs who have a tendency to run if they get the chance 😂 So I am familiar with adjusting to different dogs needs!

“He helped me out with really short notice! I really appreciate it!”

“Rosie was awesome with my puppy Tyson. She did drop in visits on two consecutive days while I was at work to feed Tyson and let him potty. On one of the days it was snowing but she kept her commitment and was here for Tyson. I can tell that Rosie really loves animals and that she does this because she enjoys being around animals, specifically dogs. I would highly recommend Rosie to anyone who is seeking pet care services.”
