Dog Sitting Potomac

“Melissa is a fantastic sitter. She was full of great questions at the Meet and Greet, clearly has much experience and is very sensitive to the needs of the pet and the instructions of the pet parent. During Visits, she was engaged and communicative, taking lots of photos/videos and spending all her energy and attention on my cat. I felt so much better about being away knowing that he was getting attention, love, play, and snuggles while we were gone. I will 100% be asking Melissa back for our next trip. She was amazing to work with!”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time with them. My experience in pet care involves walking and caring for pets, ensuring they are happy and well-looked after. While I’m not a professional trainer, I am committed to providing attentive and compassionate care. I work remotely, so I’m available to take care of them at any time. For drop-in visits or walking on weekdays, the duration will need to be 30 minutes. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their routines to keep them comfortable and happy. I ensure they are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and playtime. I also make sure their environment is clean and safe, and I closely follow any specific instructions provided by the owner.

I earned more than 210 positive reviews, which we would be happy to provide.

About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.

About: I only found about my love for dogs when I decided to get a dog a few years ago. My experience includes raising a chow chow puppy into a member of dog society by individual and dog park playtime, walks outside, administering medication, and enforced chill time as necessary. I know how anxiety inducing leaving your pets when you're away, so I will treat you the way I would like to be treated with many photo / video updates! I love all dogs, big or small, outgoing or shy! If your dog is socialized enough for a trip to PetSmart or marshalls, could do that too! I work full time from home without many meetings which gives me the flexibility I want to walk dogs or drop by a for visits. I can work with whatever equipment your dog is used to - collars and harnesses. If your dog has a schedule, I will follow it so they don't feel out of their routine.

“Eliza is the best! She just gets it, and you can tell as soon as you meet her. She knows how to make even nervous dogs feel comfortable, gives each dog individualized care tailored to their temperament, didn't mind a high maintenance picky eater, sent lots of pics, made me feel so secure they were in good hands! Can't sing her praises enough”

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.

“Wonderful as always”
