Pet Sitting Takoma Park

“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.”

“Maura met all of my pets needs while I was out of town for a week. She was easy to communicate with and spent time with our cats each visit. I knew our cats were in good hands and appreciated her pictures with them. I will definitely be checking with Maura the next time I need a cat sitter!”

“Joanne is a great sitter, she did an excellent job with my Hershey! She stayed in contact with me throughout the evening, checked in with updates regarding Hershey, and shared pictures. This was my first time using a sitter through Rover and I’m so glad I lucked out with Joanne. Her experience with pets was perfect for Hershey (and me lol) since he’s still a young puppy and used to being with me mostly. I will definitely work with her again!”

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.

“Jason dropped in to check in on my 2 dogs over the last weekend while I was out at a seminar. He was very punctual, followed directions, communicative, and my pups seemed very happy when I came home later in the day. Looking forward to Jason staying with my pups during my upcoming trip.”

“Olivia was so good at working on making Gidget feel comfortable and safe. Now our normally anxious, people-shy pup LIVES for her visits. Olivia is extremely responsive, flexible, and understanding of our schedule. She gives in depth, detailed reports that give me peace of mind while we're at work. She was quick to pick up on Gidget's little quirky personality and it's been a joy to read about while I can't be home. As long as Olivia is available, we'll never look for another sitter.”

“Jocabet was a lifesaver! She filled in last minute when our usual walker wasn’t available and was very communicative, punctual and gave great updates as well as photos. We will definitely book her again!”

“Leo is wonderful!! He kindly agreed to come to a meet and greet, he’s so chill and genuinely has such a kind demeanor. He is on time (even early) and spends the entire time booked playing/walking or caring for your animal. He’s watched my 7 month old doodle 2x now and will be our regular dog sitter! Would recommend without a doubt :)”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and empathy I have for both cats and their owners. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I treat every cat with the same attention and kindness I would want for my own cat, Lucre. I enjoy spending quality time with each cat, respecting their personality and making sure they feel loved, secure, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable visits throughout the week. I understand how important consistency is for cats, so I do my best to maintain their usual feeding, cleaning, and play routines. I am committed to providing attentive care and making sure your cat feels comfortable while you are away. Your cat's safety and well-being are my top priorities. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and the home remains secure. I pay close attention to each cat's behavior and comfort level, and I will keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Larquana was wonderful!!! She was timely, followed instructions very well, sent the best and most pictures and left the sweetest report cards. I’m so thankful to her and we will certainly book her again for our future needs - thank you so much!!!”

“Rounida took very good care of my temperamental cat this holiday season. Good updates, reached out with issues and took my cat’s mood day by day. Very much appreciated the patience and kindness. Thank you Rounida!”

About: I’ve had all types of pets growing up from fish, turtles, cats, three dogs, a bunny, an insane amount of guinea pigs you name it. Always loved furry friends. I recently relocated to the DMV area and had to leave my job. I wanted to do something I love and I love animals so I have plenty of free time for your babies! I like to make sure furry friends are fed, walked, and enriched with fun stimulating activities. Rest assured your furry friend and safe and cared for.

“Michael did a wonderful job caring for our two cats. He was communicative and helped our shy cat come out and eat.”

About: * 11 years experience caring for small breed dogs * Prioritize their unique safety needs * Experienced with senior dogs * Can administer medication * Frequent photo and video updates I’m self-employed and have a flexible daily schedule including breaks and lunch. I work mainly from coffee shops in the Bethesda, Rockville and Silver Spring areas so I can change my location based on where you live to be nearby for multiple walks per day. For in home care: I ask pet owners to give me a tour of the rooms and areas of your home that your dog has access to. I look for hazards: unattended trash cans; poisonous food on floors and counters; mouse traps and bug sticky tape; cords and wires that can be chewed; miscellaneous objects like small kid’s toys; hard floors that won’t protect from jumping or falling. Next, I ask for a list of activities that your dog enjoys. For walking: I need a list of your dog’s 1. triggers ie., large dogs, loud noises, kids 2. good tendencies i.e., likes to mark every tree, chases birds, says hi to neighbors 3. challenges i.e, pulls the leash, attacks large dogs or specific breeds, eats random objects on the ground

“Drew is just downright amazing! Braved the winter storm to take care of our boys and went above and beyond as a sitter. Extremely responsive and friendly to us and the cats. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.”

About: Hey! I’m Jess. I’ve lived in 5 different states & just moved back to MD with my doggos, Dug & Bob. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages & sizes since I was a kid. I’m a sucker for rescues, but I love them all the same & treat them like my children. I’ve accepted that I’ll probably always have some dog hair on my clothes and in my car at all times. I’m detail oriented & great at following directions, and know I could handle anything just how you’d prefer. I’ve also had dogs from 20lbs to 120lbs, so I can probably handle any kind of pup you’ve got. Looking forward to meeting all the best boys & girls 🐾 I work remotely full time, so that’s why my schedule is pretty flexible. I don’t have many meetings or calls and keep it pretty low key at my laptop most of the day, so it’s nice to get out for a walk for sure! I live in a pet friendly apartment building with plenty of great walking paths nearby. My dogs, Dug & Bob, are super friendly & chill and typically keep to themselves when it comes to other dogs, but can also sometimes be coaxed to play if your pup is persistent enough 😅 I’m trustworthy, dependable & patient with your doggos! I give them the same love, attention & affection I would my own pups. I respect my clients’ spaces and do not go anywhere I’m not explicitly instructed to go. If you bring your pup to my place, they get all the same couch & bed privileges as my own unless you’d rather them not.

“TJ did a great job with my elderly cat including medication administration and left everything in good order at my place. I would enthusiastically recommend her!”

“This was our second time having Megan drop in to take care of our cats and we’ll certainly look to her for a third. Her attention to detail, great communication skills, and overall care for our pets is all top notch. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”

Zachary K.

“Angela is a wonderful cat sitter! Our cat was well-cared for and content. Angela kept us updated throughout and with pictures. This is the second time Angela has cared for our cat and she is extremely reliable and trustworthy. I recommend her highly!”
