Pet Sitting Silver Spring

“Katherine has been so helpful, accommodating, and reliable, when it comes to Callie. As a first time dog owner, I am worried all the time about my puppy, so it’s nice to know she’s with someone who genuinely cares during the day. Would definitely recommend!”

“Juna continues to take fantastic care of my hound mix! My dog is always happy to see Juna, and I can tell from her consistent communication and her lovely walking/drop-in photos that my dog continues to enjoy Juna's care and company throughout each booking. Juna has proven to be capable and resourceful throughout all of her visits with my dog, and I'm confident she would be the same with yours, too!”

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.

“Leo was super communicative, pro active, and sent lots of photos of our pup and cats while we were away for the weekend. It was our first time having Leo and he was super understanding of our rescue and reactive dog during the long walks. Thank you so much Leo!!”

“Joe was so wonderful with my very playful, attention seeking young cat and kept him engaged and happy while I was away. I was grateful to leave my kitty with someone so caring (and good at innovating new ways to keep a cat entertained!) and will definitely be asking him to look after my cat again.”

About: I’m a dependable and compassionate pet lover with over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Since 2020, I’ve helped care for my family dog and have regularly pet sat for friends and family, including daily check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications when needed, and providing overnight care while they’re away. I’m also a foster volunteer with the Human Rescue Alliance, where I’ve cared for senior dogs and helped them adjust to new environments with patience and consistency. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior dogs, or independent cats, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m a dental student with a flexible schedule. My schedule gives me open blocks of time throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. I’m also available in the evenings and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate boarding or extended care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’m experienced caring for dogs and cats through fostering, family pets, and pet sitting for friends and relatives. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, updates, and lots of love so you can have peace of mind while you’re away

“We rely on Jared for walking our dogs and also for dropping in on our cats when we travel. He stays the whole time and plays with them in addition to feeding them and cleaning their litter boxes. All our pets like Jared.”

About: I believe it is not only that I like dogs - I believe dogs like me. Dog walker out of Manor Park, NW DC I'm a lifelong dog person. I grew up with Labs and I have had dogs of my own throughout my life as an adult. I am an active person who is not shy about the weather. Rain, snow, and heat don't bother me, and your dog gets a proper walk regardless of the forecast. I come from the school of thought, "there is no bad weather, just bad gear choices." What you can expect: I'll arrive on time, follow your routine (leash, route, treats, any quirks), and send you a photo and short update after each walk. I also dabble in photography, so you'll get good pictures of your pup. Normally I travel with a bag of kibble to give the dogs a small treat at the end of our walk. The dogs really seem to enjoy the treats. I'm happy to do a free meet-and-greet first so your dog and I can get to know each other. Where I walk: Manor Park and nearby neighborhoods, with Rock Creek Park and local parks for longer walks. Midday weekday walks are my specialty, and I'm flexible on days and times. The walk destination usually depends on the location of the house that the dog lives. When in Silver Spring I normally migrate to the closest neighborhood park or Sligo Creek. It all depends on a combination of location and duration of the walk. About me: Just over a year as a professional dog walker on top of my spend with my dogs and the family dogs. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes. I'm active, outdoorsy, and reliable, and I treat every dog's walk like it's my own. Currently working part time. The job is flexible so I have good availability. Also - since I am only working part time. Dog walking will be my second job - I will prioritize it as my job. Your pet's health and well being are priority one. I am strong and healthy and keeping your dog safe and under my control is Priority One. When walking I am alert to my surroundings, always in tune with the variables around me. Watching how the dog responds to the world around them. Anticipating and avoiding any dangers or potential conflict. For boarding - my yard is fenced in and I live walking distance to a wonderful park. My house is casual / dogs are allowed on furniture.

“We cannot rave about Dana enough. She is so attentive and communicative. There was an issue with our concierge, but she let us know immediately, so we were able to fix it. Shes truly incredible at what she does, and our cats love her. We are so grateful to her for taking care of our babies.”

Francisco and Lincy R.

“Sydney is fantastic! Our cat is very shy but Sydney got her to warm up and play. She was responsive and and took great care of our pet. We will certainly be using her in the future!”

About: I attended two training classes with my own pet, a labrador, when I was a teenager. I love animals and understand they are a family member. I promise to show love and affection to your beloved companions. I am available for boarding, and available for walks after 6pm Mondays through Wednesdays and all day Thursdays through Sundays. Weekends I am usually at home meal-prepping, doing laundry and organizing my home. I already enjoy walking outside during the evenings and having the chance to walk your pet would be a nice opportunity to enjoy their company without the expense commitments of having a pet. I currently don't have any pets because I am working on saving up money to buy a house. I live in an apartment building that allows pets and has an elevator. I enjoy evening walks, so I decided to make some money while getting some fresh air after working inside an office during the day.

“Obuchi provided excellent care for our cat while we were away. Our normally timid kitty seemed to be very drawn to her. Obuchi went above and beyond to make Ginger feel safe and us to feel secure. I would highly recommend her and would book with her in the future.”
