Dog Sitting Temple Hills

About: As a lifelong animal lover with a degree in biology and a focus on environmental science, I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets. From turtles and snakes, to fish, dogs, and cats - I've researched and worked with all types of animals throughout my career. Our family home has always been the go-to place for friends and family to bring their beloved pets when they need care. I absolutely adore getting to know each animal's unique personality and caring for them as if they were my own. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of pet sitting for all kinds of breeds, from Cane Corsos and Labradors to Labradoodles, Shih Tzu, and our own 10-year-old Morkie, October. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and the meticulous, personalized attention I provide to every pet in my care. I understand that each furry (or scaly!) friend has their own needs, quirks, and preferred routine. I'm committed to maintaining that consistency, whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, taking frequent walks, or providing plenty of playtime and cuddles. While I don't have specialized training in puppy care or senior pet support, I have ample experience caring for pets at all stages of life. Puppies and aging companions require extra patience and attention, and I'm adept at meeting their evolving needs with care and empathy. You can trust that your pet will receive the personalized attention they deserve, regardless of their age or stage of life. Whether you need a sitter for a quick errand or an extended vacation, I'll treat your pet like family. I'd be honored to provide the personalized, attentive care that will give you peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in the best of hands. Please don't hesitate to book me for your next pet sitting needs! As a college-level tutor who primarily works from home, I have the time and flexibility to provide exceptional care for your pets. My work-from-home setup allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine, and with complete availability on weekends and during the summer, I'm well-equipped to accommodate your vacation schedules with overnight pet sitting. You can trust that your furry friends will receive the utmost care in my hands. The safety and wellbeing of your pets is my top priority when they are in my care. Whether I'm watching over them in my own home or tending to them at your residence, you can rest assured they will be in a secure, comfortable environment with constant supervision. At my home, I have a decent-sized backyard with a small fenced in area shaded by trees - the perfect outdoor oasis for your furry friends to play and explore safely. And with just one small, elderly dog of my own who likes to keep to herself, your pets will have ample individual attention and a calm, quiet space to relax. My ability to work remotely means I'm able to maintain a watchful eye on your animals at all times, providing them with the care and companionship they need throughout the day. For pets staying at your home, I'll work closely with you to understand their precise routines, preferences, and any special needs. I'll arrive prepared and adhere strictly to your pet care instructions, ensuring a seamless transition and a stress-free experience for your beloved companions. You can trust that I'll treat your home with the utmost care and respect, keeping it clean and tidy just as I would my own. Whether in my own residence or yours, your pets' safety is of the utmost importance. With secure, comfortable environments, personalized attention, and constant supervision, you can have complete confidence that your furry friends are in excellent hands.

“Tjuina is a great communicator, very personable, and made me feel so at ease about being out of town while my cat was at home over the holidays. I would absolutely trust her to watch my pet again!”

About: I've always cared for my own dogs and cats and those of family and friends. I would love to be a safe place for your fur baby too. I get up early to walk my pets. we walk again at lunch when I am home and again in the evening. My neighborhood is quiet and scenic for long walks. I have a fenced yard and dedicated space for the dogs to use the bathroom that is cleaned frequently. Animals have plenty space to play together or separately.

“Paola took great care of my senior dog. I was nervous leaving my dog alone since she has been struggling with the stairs lately. Paola made me feel comfortable with her detailed check ins and was even able to shift her final check in that day when I was delayed coming home. WhenI got home I found a happy, calm pup.”

“Mike was amazing with Scooby! He watched him for a couple of weeks and took great care of him the whole time. He was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and made sure we stayed updated every day by sending videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Scooby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover 🙌🏽”

One of my cats has anxiety while I am away and I know he can be a pain-Natasha was very professional and took great care of everything. I could tell from the photos that both cats warmed up to her right away :) Thank you Natasha!!”

About: As a dog lover I bring gentle loving care to all dog friends! I can also work on training and exercise with high energy dogs. I volunteer with a local animal rescue and have fostered shelter dogs in the past. I work remotely Monday & Friday so I’m able to provide adequate walking, interaction and attention. I’m active and can provide all levels of exercise and play. This includes walking, running, potty breaks, indoor enrichment with puzzles, lick mats and toys. I simply enjoy being around dogs and will provide extra care such as brushing and cuddles. I treat any pet entering my home as my own and extend that same love and attention to them. I prioritize their needs as well as their owners to ensure everyone is comfortable with the experience and to give my new dog friend a vacation while their owner is away! Dog sitting is just as exciting for me as it can be for a dog getting to meet new people and do fun things!

I work full time but have availability on weekends to watch pets and drop in and go on walks or just hangout with them too. I would pet them and make sure that they had enough food and water.

“Sherry was a wonderful sitter for my two kitties! She was very kind and interactive with my cats- a true animal lover! I am a crazy, over-the-top cat mama and felt so comfortable leaving my spoiled, very playful girls in her care. She followed their care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond in staying longer to play with them and sending tons of great pictures! They both looked so comfortable, happy, and playful and I am so grateful! I will reach out to Sherry anytime I need a sitter. Thank you so much!”

About: I treat every pet like my own, offering personalized attention, patience, and lots of love. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including training puppies and providing gentle care for senior pets. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special diets, and keeping up with specific routines. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs structured play or an older dog who just needs a slow, comforting walk, I adapt to meet their needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work about 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, but I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule that lets me take plenty of play breaks and quick walks during the day. Pets are never left alone for long! I’m available for boarding at my home Friday through Sunday, and I can also do afternoon and evening care on Mondays and Wednesdays. For daytime visits or walks, I’m free on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I always make sure pets get the love, attention, and activity they need — whether it’s a quick potty break, a walk around the block, or extra playtime to get their energy out! At my home, I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can run, play, and safely explore. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure pets are never left unattended. We also enjoy fun trips to the local dog park (if you’re comfortable with that!) and daily leashed walks around safe, pet-friendly neighborhoods. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routines, including meal times, potty breaks, and any special care instructions you provide.

“As always, our doggos seem so happy when we get home. Derek and Christina always send up picture updates with each visit, and they’re very communicative. They are very reliable and trustworthy.”

“Karina did a great job taking care of my testy old tomcat. She made sure he got his daily pill, provided daily photos, and kept me updated on his general mood. I would rebook with her anytime!”
