âMadison has been so great! She was consistent, responsible and always on time. Our cats were well taken care of and seemed happy. She gave us status for every drop in visit so we felt informed and at ease. We certainly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a pet sitter.â

âThis was my first time using Rover and Rachel was great. Scheduled a drop in visit at our place and did a meet and greet a couple days before so Pebbles would know who she was when she dropped by. She answered any questions we had and Pebbles took to her quickly. Arrived on time and sent us pictures during the visit.â

About: I have over 20 years of experience taking care of my own, friends, family and others animals. I am well versed with dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and hamsters to name a few. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. Iâm able to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship while keeping pets comfortable and on their regular schedule. I enjoy making pet care a rewarding part of my day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I give each pet plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and individualized care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home while their owners are away.
About: Iâve had two dogs, and currently have one at home. I have trained both of these puppies, and with new pets I am not afraid to ask questions or accommodate to your petsâ needs. I am a full-time student, but I am looking for hobbies. I currently live at home so I have a flexible schedule. I already walk my own dog, so getting some more exercise in never hurts. Iâd prefer to meet the pets beforehand so that they are comfortable with me. I want to let dogs get the most stimulation out of their walk by letting them sniff a lot.
âWe couldnât have asked for a better cat sitter! Nichole took amazing care of our 4-year-old cat, Tookie, during our week-and-a-half trip and truly went above and beyond in every way. Tookie is a long-haired cat, and she took the time to brush her regularly and keep her coat looking beautiful. She even cleaned her ears, which was such a kind thing to offer. Beyond caring for Tookie, she also watered our plants and looked after our home with great care. When our travel plans changed and we needed to come home early, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole process completely stress-free. Itâs clear that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes sheâs entrusted with. We felt so comfortable knowing Tookie was in such capable hands. We 100% recommend Nichole to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter, and we absolutely hope to book with her again in the future!â

âThis is our second booking with Cathy and it was just as good as the first time. She follows directions is not afraid to ask questions, and leave the house clean. We will continue to book her as long as she is available!â

âGabrielle took wonderful care of our cat, Izzy, while we were out of town. She stopped by for the initial meeting, sent a thorough summary of all that we discussed, and then kept me informed daily as to how things were going. She not only took great care of Izzy, including giving her daily medication, she also managed to make friends with her! Izzy is normally very uncomfortable around people outside of our family so that was a real accomplishment. Gabrielle also watered our plants daily. I will definitely call on her again for future pet sitting needs!â

About: At little bit about me, I am a graduate student studying occupational therapy and finishing in December. I have dog walked and house sat animals for the past 15 years and absolutely love it!. I have been lucky enough to grow up with a dog until recently I rescued a puppy of my own:) She is very playful, high energy, and loving so I understand the importance of good walk and exercise! I feel that a happy and behaved dog is a well exercised dog which is why I would love the opportunity to play and tire your dog out! I have high standards for my dog so I hold the same standards of myself shen taking care of orher's dogs. I am very reliable, timely, and hard working so I will always give your dog my undivided attention whenever I am with him/her! I love animals and cannot imagine my life without them! When I am out I am always worrying about my dog being alone, so I want to give you the peace of mind not worry about the care I am providing. Look forward to meeting you and your sweet pup!
âWas great with my dog. I did have to express the importance of staying out for the entire duration of the appointment, instead of just waiting for a poop and then coming back in.â

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.
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
âCindy is great and for our first visit was very thorough in explaining how she would take care of my dog. Certainly made us feel welcome and grateful my dog and Nero got along great. Definitely will be using Cindy in the future.â

âWe hired Helena for a drop-in on our dog while we were away on a day trip. She was punctual and very communicative, and engaged playfully with our dog for the visit window. I completely trust her in our home and with our pets, and will be hiring her again for longer trips away. 5/5â

âStefany was great with our pets. They all came out to visit her, which doesn't happen to all care providers. She was friendly and professional to us and very loving to the kitties.â


About: Iâm an experienced kitten foster parent with a lifelong love for animals. Iâve trained my own cats to walk on leashes and master basic tricks, and I bring that same patience and care to every pet I meet. I'm a huge dog lover tooâand I will definitely ask to pet your dog! I also like all types of animals. I currently have pet fish, but love snakes, guinea pigs, the whole zoo! I work remotely so I can hang around your pet as needed! I can come morning, lunch time or evening to check on your pet. I have reliable transportation and flexible schedule I have experienced coaxing pets with food as needed. I have a good ability to gain petsâ trusts and speak with a calm relaxing voice. I have that vibe animals really love.
âJaeda did a great job with our golden retriever. She knew just how to manage him on his walks and provided him with lots of petting, as well as playtime. She followed our directions thoroughly and took initiative with providing him with longer walks to calm his energy. She has a natural and caring temperament which really made him feel comfortable.â

So thankful Jeannie was able to help out with my pups. She dropped in while I was away and gave my 3 pups great TLC. The pups had no complaints and neither did I. She followed all my instructions, showed up on time and played with them too. I would no hesitate to use her again.

Leah did an amazing job with our two pups, Raven and Cole. She was extremely communicative and took constant photos and detailed notes of her visits with the pups to let us know they were well cared for. She even left a present for the dogs- a few toys and a thoughtful note! We will definitely use her again as itâs been a fantastic experience!

Gabiâs been a great sitter for our pups! She pays close attention, listens to our pupsâ needs, and communicates clearly every step of the way. Sheâs always responsive, which gives us peace of mind while weâre away and we feel confident that our pups are n good hands. Highly recommend!

Annesha is so detail oriented and tries so hard to please not only the puppies but the owners!! She asks all the right questions and is so wonderful in every way! She kept in touch a lot and snapped some adorable pics of our babies (she watched our five dogs all ar once! Thank you Annesha!!!đĽ°đĽ°
