About: I have over 20 years of combined experience caring for both cats and dogs of many different ages, with some specific skills around training reinforcement for dogs. Growing up, I cared for my own cat as well as cats and dogs in the neighborhood. As an adult, I have cared for both cats and dogs and done extended house-sits for clients and friends with cats. I have my own dog, named Billie, who is an 8-year-old german shepherd/lab mix. I love animals of all kinds, and love to get to know animals and help them feel safe, cared for, and joyful/playful. I am an MSW graduate student and working part-time, and have a good deal of flexibility in my schedule. I have availability throughout the day for drop-in visits and walks, and morning/ weekend/ nighttime availability as well. My home has a fenced-in yard and is very safe and comfortable for dogs. I am conscientious and clean when spending time in the homes of clients. I will take great care of your home in addition to your animal companion!

About: In all my life, I've never lived long in a place without some type of pet. Dogs especially, I care for the excitable and shy pups of all kinds! All dogs, no matter what breed, deserve love and attention as much as any human deserves it. Dog trainer... in training! Fun fact: I know a lot about dog breeds! I can correctly identify a small portion of dog breeds when I see a dog. I plan on learning much more with the research I do. I'm (trying) setting up for college classes, so I have a very flexible schedule with tons of time to give tons of animals tons of love!! Currently in my house we have 3 dogs and 1 cat. One of the dogs is a 3 month old puppy, the other is his mother, and the third is a dog we've had for longer that's a Chihuahua mix. The cat, as well as the Chihuahua are very wary of our newcomers, but I make sure to treat them all the same, feed them, give them love, keep an eye out for them so no animal gets harmed, and more. In the future, I plan on having a minor degree in veterinary care for animals, as well. I am uniquely dedicated to the pet grind.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since a kid, and am excited to care for your pet! I’m a grad student in MD and am a proud pet parent of 2 Yorkie-mix dogs. I have experience with pet feeding, long walks, and fun playtime. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs of all sizes. My husband and I are fairly flexible, and I often work from home. We have a large backyard where your dog(s) can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. I’m a grad student who has a very flexible schedule. I walk the dogs around 7:30am, brush their teeth, and set out their food. I also go on midday walks so they are mentally and physically stimulated. My husband takes the dogs out for long walks in the evenings as well. We are happy to include your pets into this schedule or add any additional care into this routine per your request and/or according to your pet’s needs. I have a large yard and 2 lovable pups that can keep your dog(s) company. We go on frequent walks and bathroom breaks around our quiet neighborhood and have tons of play space around the house. I am happy to honor any requests to care for one family’s pets at a time, and will absolutely treat your pet(s) as if they were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life! I helped raise and take care of a Golden Retriever for 14 years in my childhood home until she passed away. Right know I have 3 elderly dogs who are my BFF's. I can't imagine my life without a furry friend. Also I've helped watch family and friends dogs since a young age. I love dogs of any kind and will love yours like my own! I’m currently working close to home with very flexible hours. I can work with your schedule to find the right time to care for your pets! I will approach your pet in a calm and slow manner until they feel comfortable with me. I have a fenced yard. My neighborhood is great for walks. Also depending on your preference with dog park/ walks, I typically take dogs for a 30 min walk (of course each dog is different in taking their time I fully respect that). If your dog is comfortable at the dog park, I’d love to take them there as well! My dog park is 20 minutes away (walking).I can accomodate dogs in crates or dogs that sleep on dog beds. In case of an emergency, I will always contact you first and take your pet to your preferred vet. I have a jeep which your dog will feel really comfortable in, so I am able to get your pet to whichever vet quickly!

“Zaira took great care of Zoey while I was away on a weekend trip. She sents photos and video was very communicative.”

About: I love pets! My family had a dog and lots of cats growing up so my love of and familiarity with pet care is deep. I have yet to become the mom of a furry as an adult, but I always look for opportunities to spend time with friends who are per parents. I would love to play and cuddle with your little love. I’m new to this app, but DEFINITELY not new to loving pets. I’d love to meet your sweet one. I have time after work on Fridays, all day Saturday and Sunday to board your pets. I am an elementary school teacher who is looking for furry company on the weekends. I'd love to be with your pets for a bit! I will make sure your pets feel safe, secure and loved. A typical day with me and your pet would involve reading their signs. If they want to play I am always ready to play catch or use a toy to engage with your animal. If they'd rather exist in a more calm place I can simply be a safe presence nearby. If they'd like to cuddle, I'm their gal! If I'm boarding your pet, they'll get to enjoy my big backyard. If your pet enjoys the outdoors we can be outside a good bit even after we take a walk, depending on the weather.

“Zada helped me out last minute and took great care of Marley!”

“Hi Arianna, Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby. It really seems as if she likes you. She is normally not so friendly with strangers. I will definitely be using you again in the future.”

About: My experience in dog-sitting comes from taking care of my friends’ and family’s dogs. I absolutely love dogs, and the people around me know that, so it’s normal for my community to come to me asking for me to watch or walk their dogs while they are away and I always jump at the opportunity! I have been consistently helping my friends and family with their fur babies for about 3 years now. During the weekdays, I can watch or walk dogs after 5:30 PM. During weekends I am fairly free so I can watch or walk dogs any time! I provide loving, safe, and respectful care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood based on the boundaries and comfortability of you and your dog. I will love your dog like my own! Please let me know if your pet has any particular/special needs.

“Valeria was very attentive and responsive to my messages. I’m so incredibly thankful for her help. She is trustworthy, reliable and communicative. I will definitely be booking again!”

About: Big Phan of cats and dogs, and have watched pets for my family and friends for many years. I have been watching dogs in the DMV area for more than 12 years and clients consistently rely on me to take care of their pets (dogs and cats) when they are gone for the weekend or on vacation. I’m flexible so feel free to reach out and find a service that works for you. I was FURloughed from my job and now have a flexible schedule all-day! This allows me to pop by when I’m needed to take care of your pets or stay for extended periods of time! I am available most evenings and weekends as well when my calendar is available! I have a fenced in front and backyard to help with taking care in house. I live close to a neighborhood park which includes a section for dogs as well.

“Michael and Rachel were so thorough and helpful when it came to taking care of our cats while we were away. They went above and beyond what we needed and always sent great pictures of the kitties. Would recommend!”

Rachel S.

About: I've lived with 1+ pets for the majority of my life, and feel quite strongly that life is exponentially better with a furry friend by your side. I have experience working with anywhere from 1 to 8 animals at a time, including dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and some limited work with reptiles. I am comfortable administering medical care to animals as instructed, in addition to providing enrichment, activity, and general TLC to your fur babies. I am flexible with my scheduling, and am happy to provide overnight care. I will be working part-time this summer, which will allow me to be flexible with and attentive to your fur babies' needs! I can do overnight stays, in-house only. I am currently living in an apartment, so while I would not be able to house your pets overnight, I am comfortable with in-home, overnight care and/or thorough and frequent visits throughout the day, and have reliable transportation to do so. I approach pet care with respect for household and animal boundaries and dispositions; I strive to help maintain routine and comfort levels for each and every animal in my care. Long walks, park visits, appointment drop-off/pick-up, etc., I'm very willing and able to help keep your critters comfy while you're away!

About: I’ve had a dog for most of my life, I also recently got a pet turtle who I treat like my child! I am a nanny and most of the families I’ve nannied for have had pets that I’ve taken care of alongside the children. I’m a full time college student, looking for something to do during my free time! My schedule has hours in between classes, but I wouldn’t be able to work a regular daytime job. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex. We have a dog walking area around the building. I also have a car so I don’t mind traveling to your house if needed!

About: I am comfortable with all varieties of pets and find the animal care immensely feeds my soul. I have had cats of my own for many years and currently have 3. I also rescue and foster when I can and find it to be a part of my life's true calling! I look forward to meeting you and your pet family! My work life is non-traditional so I can be available often throughout the week and weekends. I own a small business and often work from home. My pets are truly my family, and I believe in extending the same care to clients, neighbours, friends and family. I believe in attention to detail and that all pets have their particular needs and desires which deserve respect.

About: I am the owner of a large Bernedoodle who is very friendly. I am experienced with large and small dogs and can do long hour walks or short walks/visits. I will send lots of photo updates and will actively keep in touch with the owner. I am a nurse and my days of the week for walking usually are flexible. Looking for an extra way to get outside and stay active while getting to play with some fury friends! I am a nurse and work random days of the week so I can be available at any time of the day on my days off, or in the early morning or late evening. Safety first, always. Any preferences by the owner will be first and foremost. I respect homes and privacy and will always stay in communication with the owner. I will be attentive to your pets needs.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, from taking in puppies to rescues, and there is nothing more important to me then providing them love. I am currently working part time, but can happily work my way around taking care of your dog. Mornings work best and afternoon on weekends. I will constantly take them on walks to get them some fresh air. Check up on their food and water. Provide any other services requested.
