Xiaozi was amazing at taking care of our two cats. She was communicative and detail oriented with feeding schedules and routines, including using automatic and timed feeders. Her updates are always thoughtful and you can tell her cares deeply about the pets she cares for. I felt at ease the whole time and trusted her expertise!

Dee Dee took care of our cat Casper when we went on vacation and was wonderful! Casper is a senior cat with lots of medication, so it was a relief to have some one stop by and feed him and give him his medication each day. Would highly recommend Dee Dee!

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, turtles, frogs and fish throughout my life. Pets make the world a better place and as a retired teacher, I would like to care for pets. They are so important to us. I love to interact with animals, be outside in nature with them and would love to make some new furry friends. I am a retired teacher so I am very flexible to work as needed part time. I am available during the week and weekends, mornings, afternoons and early evening. I would quietly and calmly approach a new furry friend so they can smell me before trying to pet them. I would want to build trust and then engage in play activities, daily care and exercise.

About: Hi! Our family loves dogs and we want to open our home to yours. Growing up, I had an Eskimopoo as a brother, and he was the most important being in my life. In 2009, after moving to Maryland from New Jersey, I adopted my current dog, Simi, from a shelter. She was abused, so it took some work and time to warm her up. Simi has gone from shy and timid to an important part of our family of 3 and the most loving and gentle dog you will ever meet. My 4 year old son was born into this world with Simi by his side and only knows a world with dogs in it. He loves dogs so much, that we adopted Ginger last year, a senior dog abandoned by her owner. Unfortunately, we lost Ginger to cancer a few months later Our loving family will make sure your beloved dog receives snuggles and belly rubs all day and night and be treated as part of the family. I know how hard is it to leave your dog to go on a business trip or vacation. So we will do everything we can to ensure your dog is safe and loved while you enjoy some time away. As a recently terminated federal employee, I am ready to spend the day with your loving pup on walks, playtime or just have a fun time in our fully fenced 1 acre yard! Your pet will make sure I get the excercise I need! I very much care for animals and their well-being, I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable knowing s/he will be sad missing mommy or daddy. Having a senior dog, Simi, my children are trained to be gentle and create a respectful environment for any pet guests we may have. If I am visiting your home, I will ensure to respect your pet's boundaries and ease my way into their safety zone. Eventually I hope to become a part of their routine.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for different species and breeds, I provide loving and personalized, loving care for cats, dogs, horses, and other farm animals. Whether it's a playful pup or senior dog, a cat with a unique (or tempestuous!) personality, or horses in work, I'm comfortable with it all and can meet your pet's needs with the utmost care and attention. Having owned and cared for working dog breeds, provided palliative care for senior dogs, and tailored care for horses and farm animals, I understand the specialized attention these pets require. I’m well-versed in handling pets with varying temperaments and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. As someone who’s familiar with the demands of a busy work schedule and the daily commute from DC to Northern Montgomery County, I offer flexible, reliable care for pets whose owners are on the go. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’m here to make sure your pets get the care no matter how busy life gets. Let me be the helping hand to keep your pets happy and healthy! A former DC daily commuter, I now have a more flexible work schedule that allows me to care for animals during lunch break, peak commuting hours, and on weekends. Available on-call as well. Experience pet sitting for family, friends, neighbors and colleagues. After recently losing my German Shepherd of 15 years, I’ve become very attuned with the needs of older dogs as well and those requiring palliative care in an environment they know and understand best, which is home.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Kathy for more than 25 years, and in all that time, she has proven herself to be the most dependable and trustworthy person I know. She approaches every commitment with a deep sense of responsibility and follow-through—if Kathy says she will do something, you can consider it done, and done well. Kathy’s heart is as big as her integrity. She is endlessly patient, unfailingly kind, and has a genuine love for animals that shines through in everything she does. Whether it’s caring for her own pets or helping a stray in need, her compassion and dedication are remarkable. Simply put, Kathy is someone you can count on—always.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashley! It is clear that she has an incredible connection with animals and a wealth of experience caring for all kinds—dogs, cats, horses, and even small pets like rabbits and hamsters. Her calm, loving presence instantly put my pets at ease. Ashley goes above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether I’ve needed daily visits, overnight care, or help with a last-minute trip, Ashley has always been reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. I trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found someone who is not only experienced but truly passionate about animal care. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is professional, trustworthy, and absolutely loves what they do, I wholeheartedly recommend her. Your pets will be in the best hands!
