Dog Sitting in University Park

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide attentive care for their pets. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a student and my schedule is pretty flexible, so I can usually make time for walks, drop ins, or boarding during the week and weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just someone to hang out with, I’ve got you covered! I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, and I’ll always keep you updated so you have peace of mind.

“She was super friendly and very responsive. Communication was quick and easy, and she made the whole experience smooth and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!”

Yan D.

“Our kitties don't really like strangers, but they seemed to warm up to Carla based on the photos and updates she shared. They definitely seemed less stressed than when we've gone out of town in the past, so I know they were well cared for. We'll definitely have Carla watch them again!”

About: I helped raise 3 dogs from puppyhood and cared for one senior dog and cat. The senior dog had major health problems, so I'm more than comfortable caring for pets with specific needs and health difficulties. I'm currently involved in volunteer work, and my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be available for the summer. Scheduling will be tailored around you and your pet's unique needs. As a pre-law student, I highly value and respect trust, safety, and boundaries. I promise to respect you, your home, and of course, your pet.

“Keaton took excellent care of my shy cat, including giving her oral medication. They provided updates and were very communicative through the process.”

About: I had two dogs back in my hometown and they feel like boss of the house when I am around. I can take care of puppies, small dogs and big ones too. I am currently doing my masters at UMD and I am usually free in the day because my classe are mostly scheduled in the evening I live in apartment housing, well it has a park and lot of space to walk around. I can come to your house and walk them around.

“Kelsey did a great job taking care of 3 kitties while we were out of town for a few days. She even helped bring our two shy cats out of hiding so I count that as a success!”

“Kate is amazingly caring and attentive to our girl Cali. She communicates regularly and goes above and beyond each time we’ve used her. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I’ve been 12 years old. I also had my own dog for a couple years as well and I took her on walks, fed her, played with her, etc I am going to see how it fits into my work week schedule and see what would best work for both mine and the owners. I have a big park next to my house as well as trails I can walk on nearby. I also have space for the dog to run around and play outside.

“Gregg was fantastic. He’s knowledgeable about animal care, he’s super nice, and worked well with all of the instructions we left. We were just grateful to find someone to help us when our regular sitter was out, but Gregg turned out to be 10x better than we could’ve hoped for.”

Gregory P.

“​Jared was fantastic with our crew! We have a dog and cats who are pretty wary of strangers, but he was so patient and totally respected their boundaries. He eased in slowly and the results were great—everyone was happy and relaxed. ​The communication was awesome, and we loved getting all the updates. Plus, a huge extra thanks for cleaning up some cat vomit on our bedspread while we were out—definitely went above and beyond!”

About: I have many years working with all types of dogs of many ages! I have several years of experience pet sitting for family, friends, and clients and providing them with dog walking services as well. My experience as a volunteer at my local animal rescue has taught me how to handle dogs of all personalities with patience and safety. I am a very active person, and love to take dogs on long, engaging walks, but am also equally happy providing them calm, attentive care in the house as well. I promise to give your pet the same level of cimmitment and love I'd give my own! I am currently a graduate student and I work from home every day. My schedule is very flexible and I can likely accomodate to your pet's needs. I am available for pet sitting/dog walking every day of the week. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex and do not have a yard. However, given that I work from home, I am available to take your pet out multiple times throughout the day.

About: I’m available 24/7. Just shoot me a text or message! I’m available in Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland. :) I’ve done pet sitting, and dog walking for years now. My most professional experience was working as a Pet Care Associate at a pet boarding facility. My tasks included: - power washing and deep cleaning the suites the dogs and cats were staying in - meal preparation - feed the dogs - scheduled playtimes - scheduled walks - Tender Loving Care (TLC) - exercise on doggy treadmill Pet Sitting, pet walking/overall pet care is my full time job, so I have full open availability every day of the week, anytime of the week! Please do reach out and consider me to be your pets best friend and caretaker as I love dogs and cats and love seeing their cute fluffy faces :) For boarding purposes, I live in an apartment. There is a big fence and gate around the apartment building, a nearby walking trail, and even a dog park just an eight minute walk from my apartment. My apartment is dog and cat friendly as many of the residents have dogs and cats and other animals in their own units.

“Emma was amazing with my two cats! Always on time and quick to respond. She also sent the funniest pics. Most importantly I came home to two happy cats. Thank you Emma!”

Stephanie F.

“Lilla was great for visiting with my two pups! She was flexible and quick to respond when I needed a sitter due to unexpected trip to attend a funeral. She communicated well and provided me pictures of her visits. She even cleaned up after one of my pups when she got sick in the house. I’d recommend her and will use her again. Thank you, Lilla, and sorry about the pup mess!”

Jeff R.

“Catherine did an amazing job watching my babies while I was out of town. I am so glad I found her on here! It can be difficult finding someone trusted that is also good with your pets. Catherine came right in and immediately my two dogs took a liking to her. Thank you so much Catherine I’ll def be reaching out again soon!”

Napreya B.

“Alexandra was great for our stop-in visits with the catboys while we were out of the country. She communicated well and took great care of them. Will reach out to her again in the future when we are out of town.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or gentle seniors. I have experience with basic training for young pets, helping reinforce good habits, and I’m patient and compassionate with older animals who may need extra support or mobility assistance. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind. I can work part time and spend as much time as needed with each pet. I love taking care of animals. Pet care is a part of my daily routine I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to accommodate different needs. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks and any specific instructions. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates (Pictures), and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. At the end of the day I want each pet that I meet to have a loving care experience and feel relaxed and well cared for at all times.
