About: I treat every pet like my own giving them lots of love, playtime and a wonderful joyful experience. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds. I work part time remote at home so I have lots of time. I adapt easily to changes in schedule to better serve our pups! I make sure pets are safe and having a good time during my service. I make sure they are being provided all their doggy needs.

“Hazel helped me out last minute, was very responsive, and took great care of my dog. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years, growing up around pets and farm animals and continuing that passion throughout college. I recently graduated from Berea College and plan to attend veterinary school, so providing thoughtful, attentive care to animals is truly meaningful to me. During college, I worked on a farm caring for livestock including cattle, poultry, and swine. I monitored their health, assisted with vaccinations and routine care, and learned to recognize early signs of illness and stress in animals. I also worked as a Veterinary Assistant at Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital, where I cared for dogs, cats, and exotic pets such as hamsters and lizards. I checked vital signs, assisted with treatments and surgeries, collected lab samples, and ensured animals were comfortable and safe during their stay. In high school, I participated in a program at the Cincinnati Zoo, and in college I conducted hands on research with goats. These experiences strengthened my understanding of animal behavior, enrichment, and species specific care. What sets me apart is my medical awareness and ability to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. Whether your pet is young, senior, shy, energetic, or requires medication, I am comfortable providing patient, attentive care tailored to their needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am currently studying as I prepare for higher education, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to dedicate quality time to pet care. I truly enjoy having animal breaks throughout my day, whether that is a walk, a play session, a feeding visit, or quiet companionship time. Because I structure my days around studying, I can stay consistent with your pet’s normal routine. I am available for walks, and sitting throughout the week, and I am happy to discuss specific timing needs to ensure your pet receives reliable and attentive care. Caring for animals is something I intentionally make time for! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my background as a veterinary assistant and farm caregiver, I am trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and respond appropriately. In your home, I will treat your space with respect and care as if it were my own. I follow all instructions closely, maintain feeding schedules, refresh water, monitor litter boxes or outdoor areas, and ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured. I am comfortable administering medications if needed and can provide regular updates with photos so you feel confident and at ease while you are away. You can trust that your pet will receive patient, responsible, and thoughtful care every visit. :)

“Melissa is wonderful! I have used her services twice. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond. She is attentive and makes sure to check my dog’s water bowl. She sends me great pictures of their walks together. She gave me great peace of mind!”

About: I've always had dogs growing up in the family. As soon as I was able to get my own, I got Bella when I was 20 years old and raised her for 13 years. In those 13 years, I also helped raise puppies and cared for a senior dog other than Bella. I just love dogs and spending time with them. After recently laying Bella to rest, I miss the little things caring for a dog entails, number 1 being walks and spoiling them with all the love they deserve. Live in Olney and working full time in Rockville 7am-330pm Mon-Fri with a flexible mid day break to go handle any walks/care as needed. I will follow whatever instructions needed for each individual dog. Having raised a dog beginning to end, I'm fully aware how different routines are helpful depending on any particular dogs needs. My old girl needed to be carried up/down stairs and I happily helped her everyday.

“India helped walked our dog when we were doing a family and couples photo shoot and she was amazing. Would highly recommend her for all your dog walking needs!”

About: Growing up, my family always had dogs. At my grandparents’ house, we had the sweetest little Chihuahua, Little Lady Bug, who made us laugh by chasing the biggest dogs down the street. After Lady came many others: Basset Hounds, Lhasa Apsos, and eventually two King Charles Cavalier sisters, Penny and Emma. My first true canine love was a black Labrador named Charlie Bug. He became the big brother to my three kids, and they adored him. He was gentle, protective, endlessly patient, and full of love. When Charlie became ill, we welcomed Olive Oil, a Papillon who became his eyes and ears. Life took some unexpected turns, and for a time, our home was without four-legged companions. But my love for dogs never faded. I now find joy by being present in the lives of friends’ and family members’ pets—and I’m excited to share that same love and care with your furry family member. I would be honored to bring joy, comfort, and attention to your pet through sitting and companionship! BTW...call me Suzie! Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine, even while working full-time depending on the need. On weekends, my schedule is much more flexible. I’m available for longer visits, extended playtime, multiple walks, or overnight care as needed. Weekends allow me to give pets extra attention, companionship, and enrichment, which I absolutely love. Even with a full-time schedule, I’m very organized and intentional about planning my time. Caring for pets brings me joy, so I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care whenever I’m with them—whether it’s a quick weekday visit or a full weekend of quality time. Pets thrive on consistency. I would travel to your home so they can stick to their routines an schedules. I want to make sure your pet's normal life conitnues seamlessly while you're away.

“Gianna started walking my dog weekly about a month ago. I went back and forth as to whether or not I wanted to hire someone given my dog’s reactivity on walks. I could not be happier with our choice to have Gianna!! She is responsible, communicative, patient and kind. My dog is noticeably happier when I get home, and it feels like a huge weight is off our shoulders to know he is being cared for by someone who cares for and loves him like I do. I can’t recommend her enough!!”

“Amanda was great! We have a small, super friendly but high energy dog that will not sleep through the night unless she’s had enough exercise. Inanna slept through the night after just one 30 minute walk with Amanda. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Malek is a dog whisperer! He was wonderful with our Australian shepherd puppy - who has a lot of energy and love to give! Malek took her on some great walks, and she was actually tired after! Thank you so much, Malek!”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 17. Family, neighbors, and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, clean up after, and comfort their pets while they’re away. Whether it’s a snuggly cat or an energetic pup, I always approach animals with patience and love. I currently work part-time, so I’m flexible and can make time for drop-in visits or overnight stays at your home. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2PM. I’ll treat your home with care—and your pets like family. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I provide thoughtful, reliable care in your space—where your pets feel most secure. I respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and ensure they feel safe, soothed, and seen while you’re away.

“Jeannie is punctual, professional, and kind. She gives thorough details on the Rover card, which every pet parent loves! Highly recommend.”
