About: I prioritize clear, timely communication with owners and provide honest updates, photos, and notes after each visit. I have taken care of several different pets such as cats and dogs. I will always ensure the best care for the pets under my supervision. I can also keep up with high energy pets, but also provide calm energy for the pets who like to just hang around. I am currently working part time and will be attending medical school starting in the fall. My weekends are almost always free and can frequently provide overnight care during the week. I will ensure to provide clear and frequent communication with host when taking care of your pets in your home or when visiting. Trust is a priority to me when taking care of your pets so I will ensure it is earned from both your pets and from yourself.

“Tony was excellent. We were out of town for 11 days, he sent us updates and photos. He is an amazing communicator. Our flight canceled coming home and I had my sister go pick up the dogs, she said that the dogs were so calm and happy. He also left my house spotless. I couldn't be more happy with Tony's services. We will be going out of town a few more times this year, Tony will be our FIRST choice, nd hopefully only choice. We couldn't be more happy with the respect and love he gave to our home and our dogs. Thanks Again Tony.”

About: Hello, I’ve walked dogs for two years. Friends and neighbors trusted me to make sure their pets get their daily walk and food. I fostered a dog for 6 months and have a cat named Naomi. Fun fact I rescued my cat as a kitten that was found in my backyard. Originally thought it was a girl but Naomi is a boy and the name has stayed! I took Sugar after one of my fathers friends was about to sender her. She is smart and I have trained her to be friendly with other dogs as she did not socialize before she met my family. Having a half lab half German shepherd means you have to have constant walks and high energy but it also keeps me in shape to walk and play with your furry family members. Currently I have open availability during the summer. During the school year I work as an avid tutor/ substitute teacher for FCPS. I’m also a student at Marymount university! I study accounting and finance. Classes are online and at night. I always check gates, fences, and doors before I enter and leave houses. It helps make sure that everything is secure. I like to have contact to make sure I know how I can enter the house and where to park. As well as know where the pets food, water, leash, toys, and bags are. I will update and send pictures to make sure you know your pet is in good hands.

“Marilyn was wonderful and I look forward to having her sit for me again in the future. She provided daily updates in the form of text and photos through the Rover app. Both of my dogs were well cared for and she left my home in the same sparkling condition she found it in.”

About: I’ve had dogs growing up big and small. I currently have 3 cats named Mylo, Mateo, and Madonna . I keep everything tidy and love to play with animals :) Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and can dedicate my schedule to providing attention, exercise, and companionship. I am able to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and making sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and cared for. Cats always hide in weird places so when I take note on their favorite spots and always have an eye on them. I’ll always have your pet by my side! I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide patience, supervision, and lots of affection.

“Eliana took great care of our babies and our home! We felt confident leaving them in her care based on her calm, kind demeanor and the insightful questions she asked during the meet and greet, which showed her knowledge and intuition for animal behavior. She kept in great contact and was even a great sport about some circuit breaker issues that popped up while we were away. Reliable, responsive, and very sweet with our precious pets!”

About: I'm an Animal science major on the pre veterinary track at UC Davis which gives be background to provide the best care for our animals! I am a current college student on summer break! I have three household pets with one being my cat. I fit my schedule around theirs as I know routine builds a great foundation! I follow any regulations or information provided for the pet specifically to ensure safety such as medications . I make sure to learn the animals behaviors as well as take things at the animals pace to ensure safety on both ends.

About: Hello, my name is Riley and I’ve been taking care of animals since a very young age. Since I was 6 years old I’ve been taking care of dogs and fish. Over my entire lifetime so far I’ve raised 7 dogs and helped take care of dozens more. I used to pet sit for someone who had 4 dogs and a cat I was a frequent pet sitter for her and was recommended to many more of her family. I’ve also taken care of livestock animals such as chickens, goats, and horses. I’ve raised 6 dozen chickens for a family member from the age of 9 years old. I've also helped care for the same family member’s 5 horses. In high school I was an FFA student for 4 years, a farmhand for that school specializing in goats and sheep for 2.5 years, and even took care of two of my own goats. I have worked with so many animals with so many needs and personalities so I have a plethora of experience outside of just species/breeds. I’ve dealt with animals who are young and hyper, old and mellow, anxious and wary, and such. I’ve helped dogs who were wary of people become great with others. I know how important it is to cater towards your animal’s personality and needs so they feel safe and loved around you. I have a very open schedule at the moment. I’m available for short notice appointments, any day, anytime, and anywhere. I’m also very flexible as well. I will make sure your pet stays out of where they shouldn’t be, make sure they’re supervised inside and outside, and I will make sure your pet stays out of danger. If there is any special needs or requirements such as a high energy dog needing playtime to avoid being destructive I’ll make sure your pup gets the playtime they need or if your animals need to be separated I’ll make sure to keep them apart. I’ll even make sure your animal gets the medication that they need. The animal’s safety and wellbeing is my #1 priority because I understand how important it is for owners and pet parents for their furry loved ones to be happy and well taken care of.

“Felipe did a fantastic job taking care of our puppy, Bambino. From the moment he arrived, it was clear that he genuinely cared about Bambino’s well-being and comfort. He kept us informed throughout the entire stay, provided regular updates, and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Bambino was happy, well cared for, and received lots of attention. Felipe was professional, reliable, and very attentive to our puppy’s needs. We truly appreciated his communication and the care he provided. I highly recommend Felipe to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future bookings. Thank you, Felipe, for taking such great care of Bambino! 🐾🐶 5/5 Stars. Highly Recommended.”

About: I'm very good at dog trainer and loves to take care of animals. I have had a very sick dog that I have care of for all his life. From there I have learn how to care for sick animals. I enjoy doing morning walks with my dogs and evenings walks. When it comes to food time sometimes I do enjoy working with them so hand feeding is big for me unless the dog doesn't like that. I like to have a list from the owners to know what their pets expect. Such as if there's a food schedule and walks schedule. I do take safety precautions with dogs I dont know.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs, small and large ever since I was a kid. I am very trusted amongst family members when they need advice on their pets whether they are feeling okay or what they enjoy. I have watched over cats and dogs to either take them out to the bathroom, clean their puppy pads or change their litter. I can provide meals and bathroom breaks in a timely manner in order to satisfy furry friends! I know a lot about pets because of how much time I’ve spent over the years researching and learning pet behavior on what comforts or can discomfort them. I take pride in being a responsible pet owner/ caregiver because I know furry friends need just as much care as a child too! I’m currently in a college student looking for another fun job. I currently work a part time, so my schedule is often switched and random so I wouldn’t say that I can set a specific schedule for pet caregiving days but I do get my schedule 2 weeks in advance so I am always open to arrange meetings/ appointments those days! I clean up after every mess they make. I make sure to keep a steady schedule for meals. I make sure to brush and clean them as needed. And I always make sure they’re comfortable whether it be to play or relax.

“THE BEST, book her! My boy is a little monster (standard poodle) and she had so much love and care for him and his brother. And she left my home in pristine condition. Thanks Maiya!”
