Dog Sitting Silver Spring

“Holly was great! She spent a good amount of time playing with our kitties, made sure they had food and water and a clean litter box, and really took care of them! She was prompt, too!”

“Jordan was great. I had her check in on my 2 dogs including walks and feeding breakfast, while I was out for most of the day. I got lots of updates and pictures, so I was very confident my boys were in good hands. I also asked her last minute to check in on my foster kittens I got after I originally made the booking for the drop in visits and Jordan was very flexible about the added service and took great care of the kittens, too. My little zoo seemed very happy and relaxed when I got back home, so I know they were in good hands. Will definitely book Jordan again in the future.”

“Alex was wonderful with Gera and Ares! He let me know ahead of time when he was planning to come, which I really appreciated. He sent great pictures and updates during the visit, and I could see that the cats were comfortable and happy with him. It was clear that he gave them very good care and attention. Both Gera and Ares liked him, which means a lot. Thank you, Alex, for taking such good care of my cats!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies who require consistency, supervision, and reinforcement of basic training routines.

I'm dependable, attentive, and believe pet parents should never have to wonder how their furry family member is doing, so I provide frequent updates and photos.

This will vary depending on which service you offer. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication needs, and bedtime routines. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's environment and the owner's instructions. I know pets are often most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their routine while providing companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and enrichment. I make sure they have opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and any special requirements so they receive personalized care and feel like part of the family while they're with me. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. Currently I am a volunteer at the Humane Rescue Alliance where I help socialize dogs and cats for adoption. My cat, Maya, and I would love to welcome your fur baby into our home! I work from home and I can be flexible with fitting the needs of your pet into my daily routine. Please reach out if you have any questions! I live in an apartment that does not have a balcony. Also, I have plenty of cat toys and treats for your kitty. I also have the ability to section off my apartment if you are worried about your fur baby interacting with my cat. I want you to feel at ease knowing that I will give the same love to your pet that I do for my own.

“I needed a dog walker somewhat last minute (with 2 days’ notice), and Andrea answered my request super promptly! She even came out for a meet and greet the same day, which made me feel more comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Andrea sent lots of adorable photos of my pup Levi on his walk. She also kept an eye on him so he wouldn’t itch his incision site, since he’d been neutered about 2 weeks prior. Andrea did a superb job watching my high energy dog. I appreciated her love of herders, and would 100% book her again!”

About: Hello there! I'm Jenn, and I've been caring for dogs since about 2012. Many of my early experiences came from families my mom worked for while nannying and managing their households. While she kept everything running smoothly inside the home, I naturally gravitated toward spending time with the dogs. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for many wonderful pups: • Koni (German Shepherd) – A loyal and gentle boy I cared for from adulthood through his senior years. Caring for him taught me patience and attentiveness when supporting older dogs. • Romeo (Golden Retriever) & Henry (Shih Tzu) – Two sweet pups from the same household who I helped care for from puppyhood. Looking after them taught me how to balance the needs of dogs with very different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. • Lacie (Medium-sized mixed breed) – A young adult dog who was the best of both worlds: very active and playful outside, but also a needy lap dog at home. She taught me how to balance exercise with affection and downtime. • Three German Shepherd–Black Lab mix puppies (3 weeks old) – Tiny foster puppies that required the same level of attention as a human baby. Caring for them gave me hands-on experience with very young dogs and early development. • Casper (English Golden Retriever) – The gentlest and sweetest boy, and definitely one of my favorites. He’s very affectionate and loves companionship, which reinforced how important routine, attention, and emotional comfort are for dogs. I’m experienced and happy to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I look forward to getting to know your furry friend and becoming their next buddy! I work in Bethesda, MD Monday through Friday, but I can take my break during the day to visit, feed, and walk your dog :) Depending on their temperament, there’s also the possibility of bringing your dog to my office! • Cozy office space: Bed, food, water, treats, and toys available • Safe travel: Fully equipped to transport dogs safely in my car • Nearby park: Perfect for extra walks and playtime during the day I’ll care for your dog through the evening, giving attention, cuddles, and play sessions after work :) On weekends, I dedicate my time to longer walks, games, and extra TLC. Even during the workweek, though, I take frequent breaks to give pets love, attention, and companionship so they feel happy, safe, and cared for. Your dog’s safety and well-being — both physical and mental — are my top priorities. Before I begin care, I like to meet you and your dog in person and do a walkthrough. Depending on the type of care, this may include: • Their temperament and typical routine • A walkthrough of your home • Food and medication schedules • Locations of necessary supplies • Your veterinarian’s contact information • Any other details specific to your dog’s needs I’ll also ask about your dog’s favorite ways to stay active, play, and feel comfortable. Every dog is unique, and understanding these details helps me provide care that keeps them happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated.

About: As an active and experienced dog lover, I provide personalized care, plenty of exercise, and attention to detail. Ensuring a happy, loved and safe fury friend. As a personal instructor my schedule is active and flexible allowing me to seamlessly incorporate pet care. I enjoy morning and evening walks providing dogs with the exercise and attention they need. My fitness focused lifestyle ensures pets stay happy, healthy and well-cared for. I provide attentive care for pets, whether in my home or my clients' homes. When caring for pets in clients' home I follow their routines closely, for consistency and familiarity.

I focus on each pets needs individually, from feeding walks and special care to make them feel loved and secure.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, starting with my own Maltese, Snowball, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. From walks to bath time to snuggles, I’ve been hands on every step of the way with the support of my family. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pups too, knowing I treat every dog like my own. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to care for senior dogs, small breeds, and playful pups alike. I work a part-time job at my college on Wednesdays, but I’m available to sit any other day of the week! I have lots of time to give your pup attention, playtime, and outdoor walks. I have a fenced yard and a sweet older dog named Snowball who gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. At my home, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of affection and attention. I love keeping their routines consistent and providing a calm and safe space. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I will follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

“Cindy is AMAZING! She took such amazing care of my boys, and I will continue to book with her when I go out of town. She is someone who you can trust and my cats warmed up to her very quick!”

Alexis D.

“Lilla was great for visiting with my two pups! She was flexible and quick to respond when I needed a sitter due to unexpected trip to attend a funeral. She communicated well and provided me pictures of her visits. She even cleaned up after one of my pups when she got sick in the house. I’d recommend her and will use her again. Thank you, Lilla, and sorry about the pup mess!”

About: Feeding: Providing the appropriate food and clean water at regular intervals according to the pet's dietary needs. Some pets may require special diets or feeding schedules. Exercise: Engaging in physical activities and playtime to keep pets active and healthy. The type and amount of exercise vary depending on the pet's species and breed. Grooming: Brushing, bathing, and grooming pets to maintain their coat and skin health. Some pets require regular grooming, while others may need it less frequently. Socialization: Ensuring that pets receive adequate social interaction and mental stimulation. This is particularly important for social animals like other dogs. Cleanliness: Cleaning and maintaining the pet's living area to prevent the buildup of waste and to maintain hygiene. Love and Affection: Offering love, attention, and companionship to create a bond with the pet. Pets thrive on the emotional connection with their owners. Pet-specific Knowledge: Understanding the unique requirements of different pets, whether it's the temperature needs of reptiles, the nutritional needs of birds, or the exercise needs of dogs. We were working from home 90% of the time. We had to put down our dog not long ago and miss a four-leg companion. We like to walk during mornings for about 45 minutes. In Your Own Home: Prepare a Safe Environment: -Live on gated community with a dog park. Communication: -Keep the pet owner informed about their pet's well-being through regular updates and photos. -Notify them promptly of any concerns or changes in the pet's health. Cleanliness: - Keep the pet's living area clean and tidy. - Dispose of waste properly.

“Chanelle was great! We had a last minute scramble for help over a busy Memorial Day weekend and are so glad that Chanelle was able to help us out in a pinch. Our cat took to her immediately and she was very responsive via Rover chat.”

“I highly recommend Naomi! She is so kind and I knew that my cat would be in good hands. She took such good care of my cat Chico, as if it were her own pet. She was always sure to send me video/pictures of Chico as well as updates on how he was doing. I was also thankful that she watered my plants. Thank you, Naomi for everything! :) I will definitely be using her again.”

“Barbara is so great with my super shy rescue. She gets down to his level, and really helps him when he’s spooked. She’s by far his fav. walker. She’s also always available and willing to squeeze in a last minute walk or drop in visit.”
