Danny did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs, three cats and one bird over the holidays while we dealt with unexpected must do travel. When we needed to extend a few days, he graciously accommodated that as well.

Jenny is an incredible dog sitter—we’ve used her multiple times to stay in our home and care for our two small dogs. We’re able to truly relax and enjoy being away, knowing our dogs and home are in such capable and caring hands. She treats everything as if it were her own and is consistently thoughtful and attentive. On top of that, she’s a great communicator and an absolute pleasure to work with.

About: I’m a reliable and attentive dog sitter who takes the time to understand each dog’s specific needs and routine. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach depending on their age, energy level, and behavior. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing good habits like basic commands, potty training routines, and appropriate play. I stay consistent with whatever training style the owner prefers to help support their progress. I also have experience with senior care, including giving medications, monitoring mobility, and making sure older dogs stay comfortable and don’t overexert themselves. I pay close attention to any changes in behavior and keep owners updated. I’m patient, observant, and make sure every dog feels safe, cared for, and well looked after. I am a college student at Penn State University and am back for summer, so I’m free everyday and am flexible with timing to fit your needs. I follow each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I stick to their feeding, walking, and care instructions while making sure the pet gets plenty of attention and exercise.

Lesly was great to book in a pinch! Our little zoo seemed well taken care for when we came back. She also left the sweetest note for us to see when we returned!

About: I have been taking care of dogs around my neighborhoods since I was a child. I have had many animals throughout my life, currently I have a 8 year old Morkie named Malibu and a 2 year old golden retriever. I have been boarding pups for the last 4 years, my dogs do great with other pups! Please only request if your pup is friendly with other dogs! I am working part time only so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a very flexible schedule. I will be home about 90% of the time except for a 1.5-2 hour leave to go to gym! I live in a big house in Potomac, will send daily updates/photos, as well as making sure to do at least 1 hour of exercise per day! I feed all dogs in separate rooms to keep all dogs safe and cared for. All dogs are open to sleeping in my room with me the entirety of their stay.

Omar was so thoughtful, sending us photos of our pup on a daily basis. He did a meet and greet with her/us to make sure everyone was comfortable before the actual sitting dates. Our dog took to him very easily and we were immediately reassured all would be fine while we were gone. He was very responsive to our questions and took care of our house as well, ensuring mail/packages we received were brought in and stored. Would definitely recommend using him/them for your needs.

Jeffrey was amazing with our two pups. We have one who is a bit anxious and fearful around new people, especially men, and Jeffrey quickly won him over! He was available for a meet and greet and gave tons of updates and photos to put our minds at ease. He is fantastic!!

Karachi took fantastic care of our two dogs and cat over the weekend. She sent great updates while we away, and left the house totally spotless when we got back. Considering this was a bit of a last minute request, I'm really thankful that she was able to come out within a couple of days for a meet and greet and come the next weekend.

Sherm was amazing! He took excellent care of our fur baby and our apt while we were away. He sent pictures and was very prompt in all communication. Our kitty was struggling with the "new person in my house" phase, and he did a great job making her feel comfortable and safe. He was so patient and reassuring that she was loafing in his lap by the end of the stay. He also left the apt very clean. Would absolutely rebook and recommend!

Malek took care of our anxious dog during an extended trip out of state. He made a very good contact with our dog and kept me informed about how they were doing. Malek stayed at our house during the sit. Overall, I had peace of mind while traveling and I highly recommend Malek.

I recently moved to the area and had to quickly find someone to dog sit. Leslie was responsive and available and I am so lucky I was able to find her. She was amazing and exceeded my expectations! I have two dogs, one senior pup and one chocolate lab with some unique behaviors that aren’t for everyone. She was adaptable, learned about my dogs, and ensured they were well cared for. She sent updates and amazing pictures of them that will probably be on the back of my Christmas card. She also supported some asks that my landlord sent me which definitely didn’t fall within her scope of responsibility and helped me. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter that will go above your expectations!
