Pet Sitting Travilah

“Kyrstin is awesome and so easy to get along with! She took notes during the meet and greet to make sure she knew everything prior to watching the kitties. Always had great updates throughout the visits and even left an adorable surprise at the end of her sitting time! We appreciate it, Kyrstin, can’t wait for you to watch the cats again!”

“Lingshan did a great job! All the pictures showed how happy my dogs were. She even took a picture showing me they were safely back in their crate. Seeing them all gave me great peace of mind.”

About: I grew up always having dogs in my family, and now I love caring for yours! I have fostered and cared for many puppies and dogs, and have adored every one! I give them lots of love, and help them feel at home. I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, so I am here for you! Whether you just need a drop-in visit, a week's vacation, or something in between, I'm happy to help! I care for your pets in my home or yours. I am mature, experienced and trustworthy. I will treat your dog like they're my own so you can feel comfortable leaving them in my care. I love to let them cuddle on the couch, play with toys in the yard, and have gates available, if needed.

“Nathalie was extremely responsive and a great sitter for my cat. When we had a minor issue with our door, she was flexible and communicative.”

About: I’ve had dogs as pets my whole life! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters so I have plenty of hands on experience. I’ve been freelance pet sitting for about 5 years now. I have cat sit for 5 different families in the past. I never had a cat so I feel this helped me gain some cat experience. I’ve dog sat for senior dogs requiring special medication and have had senior dogs myself. I’m a huge animal lover and am so excited to meet your pups/ kitties! I’m perfect to call for mid day dog walking or a drop in visit when you’re at work! I’m currently unemployed and am looking forward to pet sitting/ dog walking full time! I am a very structured person so I will follow any and all directions that you leave for me. I will do as much as I can to make your pet feel at ease while you are on your family vacation, work trip, etc. I’ve been an animal lover all my life so I promise to give your pets the same love & affection that I do give to my own fur babies! I know everyone says that, but I truly enjoy being around animals!

“Bianca was excellent with my shy older cat. She made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care and, more importantly, made him feel comfortable (which is not easy)! I also really appreciated that around halfway through my trip she asked if there was anything she could do better or differently, which no other sitter has done before. Highly recommend and will definitely invite her to help with Knuckles again in the future!”

About: Hi, I'm Daniel! I live right here in Gaithersburg with my own dog — a Shiba Inu. If you know the breed, you know they're stubborn, independent, and definitely not for beginners. Caring for my Shiba every day has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read a dog's body language. I work from home, so I'm available when you need it most: midday weekday walks while you're at work. I treat every dog like my own — unhurried walks at your dog's pace, a fresh water check when we get back, and a photo update after every walk so you can see how it went. Big dogs, shy dogs, and strong pullers are all welcome — my Shiba trained me well. Looking forward to meeting your pup! i work fully remotely at home，so normally i have flexible time during lunch and afternoon after 5，let me know your requirement，other time open to discuss，normally no same day reservation, but if need, also can let me know, I will check my schedlue to help Safety comes first on every visit. I follow your instructions exactly — how to enter and lock up, alarm codes, and where your dog's leash, harness, and treats are kept. Before we head out, I double-check the collar and harness fit and the leash clip. Your dog stays leashed for the entire walk: I keep a secure grip and a safe distance from unknown dogs, and I always clean up after your dog. In wet or muddy weather, I wipe paws before we come back inside. Once home, I refresh the water bowl, make sure your dog is settled, and lock up carefully. You'll receive photo updates after every walk, and I'll flag anything unusual right away.

“Cathy was punctual, neat, mindful and a fantastic communicator! She followed our instructions and put in the extra effort to accommodate our shy kitty. 10/10 would recommend! We loved our experience so much that we booked her again :)”

About: I have been around animals all of my life. Growing up we had cats, dogs, mice, rabbits, hamsters, fish, lizards, and other animals. I have some experience with senior dogs as I have watched my parents 16 year old dachsund. I have pet sat for large and small dogs. I am usually the first contact from my friends to take care of their pets when they are away. I will always follow your instructions to make sure your pet does not have a gap in their schedule/care. I also have experience administering oral medication (liquid/pill) as well as ear medication and would be happy to provide that if needed. I would really love to meet your fur baby and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. A little about myself. I am a 37 year old male. I am fairly active and enjoy hiking, camping, rock climbing, and board games. I am originally from around Buffalo, NY and moved to Maryland in 2018 for work. I love Montgomery County and plan to stay here for a while. I am currently unemployed and looking to supplement my small income while doing something that I love. This would help keep me on my feet while I look for another job. I am always open to meet and greets if this is something that would make you more comfortable. My approach with new animals has always been to allow the pet time to adapt to a new person. I try to let the pets smell me and introduce themselves. I am patient and make sure to take introductions slow until I feel like we have been acquainted. I always ensure to be careful when opening doors and locking up the home. I am familiar with different pet harnesses and leads. When I have someone else's pet that I am less familiar with, I will make sure to keep them away from other animals and children unless specified by the owner. Last, I am familiar with food items that are dangerous to pets and make sure that those will never be an issue. I will never feed your pet anything that was not provided by you.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2000 and cats since I was 8. From kitten, puppies to senior dogs and cats, I love them all. I will care for your pet like they were my own. I currently work from home everyday. I can walk dogs before work, pet sit all day, or watch them in the evening or overnight. I am available for long stays as well. I have no pets at this time so your pet can be comfortable and roam around freely. I can feed, play with and give lots of attention.

About: I’ve been caring for other people’s dogs and cats for years, with my experience caring for pets going all the way back to my teens. For the past two years, I’ve especially loved walking and doing drop-in visits for dogs in my neighborhood, and I’ve also cared for cats through house sitting and drop-in visits over the years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each fur baby, learning their personality and routine, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets. After having such wonderful experiences using Rover for my own fur babies, I decided it was time to join the sitter side and share that same kind of care with other families! 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes welcoming another fur baby into my home an easy fit! I personally provide all care, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and love throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, and bedtime routine as closely as possible. Your fur baby will be welcomed into my dog-loving home with a fully fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who love having company! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and companionship throughout the day. I walk my dogs regularly and would love to include your fur baby in our walks when appropriate. I’ll personally provide their care and follow their normal feeding, potty, sleeping, and care routines as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while their humans are away.

About: I’ve watched and taken care of dogs and other animals for years. I can be accountable and reliable. Walking dogs helps releases energy and promotes endorphin release. I walk daily, long walks works best for me. Good to get exercise, fresh air and vitamins D into you system. Helps promote a healthy lifestyle. I make sure that the animals are well taken care of. I make sure that they are thoroughly walked, fed and get water into their system.

About: With 13+ years of hands-on dog care, I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a proud owner of an XL doodle and a dachshund, I understand that every dog has unique needs. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely passionate about making every pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine love I bring to every dog, treating them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working part time as a marketing assistant. I work in the office from 9am to 4:30pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays! With a car and living close by to work it’s easy for me to do quick drop ins and walks for local pup owners! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether caring for your dog in my home or in yours, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, pay close attention to their needs and behavior, and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and affection. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, care, and love I give my own dogs.

“Michele was an excellent caretaker for our two cats while we were away on a long trip. She communicated quickly and clearly about everything and there were no issues at all! We definitely felt like our pets were in good hands.”

About: I lived for about a year with a family with a playful, energetic, 40-pound, 4-and-a-half-year-old lab mix named Ivy: a former shelter dog who took a while to adjust to the house and to regular walks. The learning experience taking care of her and loving her was both unique and wonderful. She was my most memorable long-term doggy care experience, and it taught me a lot. I can feed, brush and play (inside or outside) with your dog, take him or her out for walks and potty breaks, and give your dog all the love, care and attention they need while you're away. I can also stay overnight to watch your dog, and take him or her to the vet in the event of an emergency. I'm available all day on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays for dog walking, drops ins and house sitting.

About: Since I was born, my parents and my family have owned pets. From my birth my siblings have owned their own birds, we owned a Dove for multiple years and owned a Black Labrador from birth. I am a college freshman, who will be starting the school year soon and will not be going to school far. I'll be able to only work certain days in the week due to school. Scheduling can be discussed during the booking process. I will review the needs of the client pertaining to their individual needs and their pets individual needs before and during my visit with them.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a child, and I can’t imagine it any other way! From toy poodles to Rottweilers, dogs have always been fundamental members of our family. I have also watched numerous cats for friends and family over the years, and I’ve made several furry friends along the way! I have open availability for pet care during the weekends, and I am available during weekdays from 10-5 (hours may be modified to better fit a client’ schedule). I have a 2 year old Bernadoodle named Lily! She is exceptionally sweet and great with other animals, so your pet will always have a furry friend nearby! If you prefer, I can also keep your animal separated from Lily as I have several portable gates. Pets are always treated as members of the family with ample love, attention, and belly rubs!

“Theresa was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties when we were away. Kept us updated with photos and descriptions of her visits. Very responsive via text/email. Will happily book again!”

About: I am currently without my own pets, but still assist with my kid's mom's pets (Two dogs, and elder beagle and a puppy who is mixed). I am currently enjoying my retirement and going back to school on Tuesday evenings. I have two daughters who are in after school sports that have games on the weekend. Other than that my schedule is open. I am more than happy to help with your pets in your home. Let me know what you need and I will make sure it gets taken care of, and that your pet gets the care and attention they need and deserve!

About: I have owned 5 small dogs in the past 20yrs and have taken cared of different kinds of dogs as well. I have experience with puppies and seniors, big and small dogs, administering medication. I currently have 3 little dogs - an intact Frenchie and a pair of Chihuahua-JRT siblings that are spayed and neutered. I can read most dogs’ body language, and have learned from first hand experience that even the ‘friendliest’ dogs can have their triggered moments. So I always make a conscious effort to feed each dog separately and look out for triggering behaviors like resource-guarding. I work from home so your pup will rarely be left alone. I have a single family home with a big front and back yard that are fenced so they can run around. I’m flexible with pick up and drop offs and cancellations. I understand things happen, and plans change. I am happy to work with you on your requests. Rest assured that I will treat your pups like I would want mine to be treated when I’m away! I let my dogs out every 2hrs or whenever they want to go play since we have a fenced front and back yard. So your dogs will too! I work from home so I can keep your dog company all day. Our dogs usually get an afternoon treat in between meals, and again before bed.
