Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Takoma Park

“Olivia was just absolutely phenomenal with Ogee. She was very patient with her the first day we left (when Ogee was still warming up) and just did a wonderful job all around caring for our pup and keeping us in the loop. I’d highly recommend Olivia as a pet sitter and would work with her again in the future without hesitation. Thanks again for everything!”

“Alyssa was so kind and communicative! She was so caring and respectful to my cat and gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling for the week. I'm endlessly grateful and can't recommend her enough to other cat owners!!”

“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 :)”

“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: I have taken care of cats and dogs for the past five years. I am comfortable with dogs of any size. I have experience working with cats & dogs of all ages and am comfortable giving them medications. I volunteer with Lucky Dogs currently as a dog handler at events. Additionally, I volunteered for the Williamson County Animal Shelter through high school and undergrad, walking dogs as well as socializing and providing enrichment for cats. I have ample experience with stray/spicy kitties! I currently have a very flexible hybrid job and attend night university classes three days a week. Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends are my most open days of the week. I am pretty flexible and want your dog or cat to be as comfortable as possible :). If I am not staying at the home, I can stop by a minimum of three times a day. Once between 8am to 9am, once between 12pm and 1pm, and once after 4pm (can vary times as needed). During the evenings, I can stay longer to allow your pet(s) more playtime and/or be taken for a walk. My schedule is pretty flexible! *CONSTANT CARE POLICY FOR HOUSESITTING MORE THAN 24 HOURS* *this policy does not apply to drop-ins or housesitting for less than 24 hours* *constant care is a premium service and will not apply to all bookings* If your pet has a medical or non-medical reason(s) for which they require constant care, the sitter maintains the right to modify the house-sitting request rate to reflect the change in care up to an additional $50 per night per animal requiring constant care. Additional pets that do not require constant care will reflect the normal Additional Pet rate (found in services tab). Constant Care is a premium service designed for pets that cannot be left alone for medical or non-medical reasons. This includes animals who have accidents overnight or if the sitter leaves for more than 4 hours for the duration of the booking dates. Services include but are not limited to oral medication administration, assisted movement, assisted feedings, comfort, and companionship needs. Other requirements can be discussed before confirming/payment is made. I currently have a very flexible hybrid job and take night classes three times a week. I can customize and work with whatever your pet's needs may be! In the client's home, I am happy to do whatever your pet needs to keep with their routine! I am also an avid crocheter, so if your pet loves a snuggle buddy or someone in the house to hang out with, I am more than happy to be that!

“Derek was absolutely wonderful. Incredibly flexible with great notes . 10/10”

“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!”

“Sam was wonderful. We needed someone to take care of our dog on relatively short notice for a cross country trip for the holidays and Sam was not only able to come check on and walk her twice a day but when we unexpectedly needed Luna out of the house for a few days, Sam was able to bring her home as well. Really excellent caretaker, flexible, and we will absolutely keep Sam in mind for all future needs!”

About: “Lifetime pet lover with experience caring for my own dog and my current cat. Excited to provide loving and reliable care for your furry friends!” “My schedule is flexible right now, so I’m available pretty much anytime to care for your pet! Morning, afternoon, or evening—I’ll be there whenever you need! I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for pets, trying to ensure they feel at ease with gentle care, attention, and plenty of affection.

“Lo did a great job taking care of our geriatric zoo - above and beyond in a snow storm, 3 different medication regimens, and ensuring our fur babies were happy and well cared for.”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover and caretaker who has cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors my whole adult life (and much of my childhood). I grew up with dogs, and have helped care for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with baggage, and everything in between. Meeting new dogs is always a highlight when out and about in the city, and I'd love to meet and help care for yours! I work from home as a freelancer and contractor, so my schedule is very flexible! Your pet's care will be my top priority -- walks, potty breaks, whatever they need! I have a spacious apartment in DC with a comfortable couch, a rug to lay on, and pillows/beds available for your pup. There is a grassy area outside our apartment (not fenced), and a large park within easy walking distance nearby.

“Drew was AMAZING! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my sweet Lady. She’s 12 years old and needs extra care and attention, and Drew went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well taken care of during each visit. Communication was excellent, and the updates gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend Drew to anyone looking for a truly caring and dependable sitter!”

“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.”

About: I started sitting in earnest four years ago, but grew up with my own dogs and often babysat for friends and family in high school and college. I’ve cared for Greyhounds, Border Collies, Shihtzus, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, APBTs, one Mastiff, one Akita, one senior German Shpeherd, and one Border Terrier/Shihtzu puppy. I’m a teaching artist, so my fluctuating schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dogs, but the long periods of remote work and time between gigs means I have very flexible availability and can fill the hole in my heart by being a reliable, loving sitter for others. I really cherish any opportunity to spend time with any pups and look forward to meeting yours! I’m between gigs at the moment, so save some odd appointments, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening drop in walks, daytime sitting, or longer overnight stays and in-home sitting. I always prefer to take a walk with pet parents leading when I first meet new dogs to get a sense of what they’re used to. For multi-day sitting, I always follow whatever norms you set in your home to make sure training stays consistent and there’s no confusion that may create anxiety for your pups. If working remotely, I try to stay where pups can see me and take lots of breaks for walks, pottying, and pets. Unless you have a specific walking route, I like to stay on quieter streets with slower speed limits and less traffic so walks are calm. I also like to allow lots of time for sniffing (smells stimulate your pup’s brain!) unless you have behavioral or training concerns about avoiding distractions during walks.

“Megan was wonderful with our kitties! She communicated well, very considerate and lovable towards both our cats. Thank you, Megan for being so professional and kind, you’re amazing!!! She also took some incredible pictures!”

“Angela was wonderful to work with! She took excellent care of Scarlett, and dealt with my, at times, temperamental cat's attitude with kindness and professionalism. She was an excellent communicator and very friendly. Would highly recommend!”

Caroline E.

“Amazing - BOOK WITH HER! She made my first Rover experience so reassuring. I didn’t know what to expect with this app but I’m very happy I booked with her. Will definitely book her regularly.”

“Emily is reliable, friendly, and amazing with our very energetic puppy. Emily has been walking our dog for several weeks. She always comes on time and our dog is now very excited to see her when she arrives. She spends quality time with our dog, including long walks and practicing basic training commands, and is very loving and sweet with him. We love Emily!”
