Highly-rated overnight sitters - Silver Spring
“Wow. Jessica came through with flying colors during a family emergency! I think she did an incredible job! She picked the dog up from the apartment, took care of an aging dog on meds, offered to feed him human food because he ran out of prescription food, and dealt with the accidents from a traumatized 18 year old pup. I would recommend Jessica in a heartbeat. Thank you, Jessica!”
“Truly everything you could want in a pet sitter! She is an experienced dog lover who will take care of your pup with the same care as her own. The perfect place for any active dog! Proactive with updates (and great photos and videos from their adventures) and very responsive. Could not recommend more!”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.”
“Abner was great! We just moved to the state and had no clue where to start with a dog sitter, but we felt comfortable leaving our pup with Abner very quickly. Very kind, and he clearly loves dogs. Our girl is pretty nervous but he took the time to make sure she was comfortable and she ended up having a great time.”
“Exceptional service from Monica as always. My Teddy boy knows his second home and her family. Couldn’t have chosen a better place and person to trust with my furry baby. Monica is absolutely fantastic.”
“Grace was awesome! She took amazing care of my 2 dogs and made sure they felt at home in her home with her family. They got extra snuggles, slept in the bed like they love to and had a great outdoor space to play in. She sent updates daily with lots of pictures. I will be using grace again for my next trip! She even made them special treats to come home with.”
“Debra was wonderful. We have a puppy with lots of energy who hasn’t been able to be socialized. Debra helped us be comfortable with lots of pictures and communication. We would highly recommend Debra. We will schedule with her again. She is professional, kind and was confident with our rambunctious puppy, just what we needed.”
“My husband and I were very pleased and happy with the care provided by Nina!! We received many updates and videos throughout the day showing the amazing one on one care given to Thor. Thor looked happy, mentally and physically stimulated and engaged!! There was even a picture showing him napping after a full day.🙂 We were grateful for the peace of mind we had while Thor was in their care.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”
“Alexis was great with our Archie! She was attentive to his needs, gave him lots of love and nice long walks, which he loves! She also sent us pictures throughout the day.We’ll ,without a doubt, book with her again in the future!”
“Sara was an absolutely perfect pet sitter!! She is very communicative and flexible. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the night and updates. Most importantly Wilson clearly had an amazing time time and we couldn’t be happier.100% recommend!!!”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“Sandra was extremely nice and Nala seemed to lovely her time there. I would definitely use Sandra again in the future, she sent a picture of Nala while in her care. Thank you again”

“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay. It was our lab's first time boarding and Katie sent updates regularly throughout the day which helped ease the transition. Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”
“Kevin was very professional, kind, and responsive. He sent me photos of my dogs everyday, and it looked like they had a lot of fun with him! I will definitely ask him for help again to care for my dogs in the future.”

We’d highly recommend Kelly to any pet lovers who need a sitter and will continue to have Kelly watch over our baby when needed🫶🏼”

“Tammie was so amazing and took great care of our kitties (indoor and outdoor). Tammie played with them, gave them love and really spoiled them. This really helped us relax while on vacation. Plus Tammie was so amazing and flexible when I asked her for odd things, such as bringing our deliveries inside, etc. We happily recommend Tammie and will continue to utilize her.”

“Isabella came on super short notice and did a great job with my Rottweiler mix. She even came over within a couples hours of booking to meet and greet prior to the appointment. Thank you!”
“I had never left my dogs in the care of someone else, and took a chance on Kelly because I liked her when we met. I was gone for an entire week so I was so apprehensive. She exceeded all my expectations! She was kind and sent me messages about my dogs and cats to keep me in the loop about their week. I loved the pictures of them every day, and seeing how much time she spent with them. She is very loving and so thoughtful. Do not hesitate to hire her to care for your fur children. She treats them like her own family.”

About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.

I don't have a routine yet but hopefully I will establish one soon. I have done numerous overnights with up to 4 dogs. I ask the owners for a printed copy of each dogs habits, routine and exercise preferences. Also if the dog has any leash or food aggression.
About: I have been house sitting since I was 14 years old. From homes with 2 large puppies to homes with 4 dogs and 7 cats ranging in ages. I love animals and spend a lot of time working with animals with my sister who is Veterinarian. I am a full time nursing student with a full time job. I am completely available for your pet sitting needs from Friday through Monday. Your pets will have my complete attention when in my care. Not only will I tend to their needs, I will play with them, and show them love.
About: I have taken care of dogs since 2019. I watched neighbors dogs while they would go to work or vacation. I have experience with puppies since 2019 also. I work part time. So I have plenty of time to take walks and potty breaks. I usually walk my dog every 2 -4 hours. So I can maintain that schedule. I have reliable transportation and can transport any dogs/ cats for walks in parks etc. I am always available during the week and like keeping busy.

“Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.”
“Abner was great! We just moved to the state and had no clue where to start with a dog sitter, but we felt comfortable leaving our pup with Abner very quickly. Very kind, and he clearly loves dogs. Our girl is pretty nervous but he took the time to make sure she was comfortable and she ended up having a great time.”
“Debra was wonderful. We have a puppy with lots of energy who hasn’t been able to be socialized. Debra helped us be comfortable with lots of pictures and communication. We would highly recommend Debra. We will schedule with her again. She is professional, kind and was confident with our rambunctious puppy, just what we needed.”
“My husband and I were very pleased and happy with the care provided by Nina!! We received many updates and videos throughout the day showing the amazing one on one care given to Thor. Thor looked happy, mentally and physically stimulated and engaged!! There was even a picture showing him napping after a full day.🙂 We were grateful for the peace of mind we had while Thor was in their care.”
“Alexis was great with our Archie! She was attentive to his needs, gave him lots of love and nice long walks, which he loves! She also sent us pictures throughout the day.We’ll ,without a doubt, book with her again in the future!”

“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her.

About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay. It was our lab's first time boarding and Katie sent updates regularly throughout the day which helped ease the transition. Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”
“Kevin was very professional, kind, and responsive. He sent me photos of my dogs everyday, and it looked like they had a lot of fun with him! I will definitely ask him for help again to care for my dogs in the future.”
“Fiona is amazing. My goldendoodle was immediately at ease, ran right to Fiona, tail wagging! My husband and I were comforted knowing he would have a great experience, and he did! I received wonderful pics and updates. We will be using Fiona for all future trips!!!”
“So thankful to have found someone for our Keira. Morgan responded quickly for a short notice weekend trip and was quick to respond to my inquiries while we were gone as to how Keira was doing. We usually use a local kennel but have found that she comes home sad. She needs a lot of human interaction. Without her pack, she gets lonely. She came home much happier this time. Morgan and her family obviously made Keira feel very at home.”
“If you want your dog to have the best time of their lives I suggest you book with Jake and Mischa. I have no idea how these two do it but the amount of love, care and fun my little dude has with them is insane. I book with them almost 6 -9 times a year and never have any issues. Loves these two for all the hard work they put in to keep my pup entertained and happy!!!”
“This is Finley‘s second overnight with Chris and all went well once again. I would definitely recommend Chris as a Dogsitter. I appreciate that he sits for only one client at a time so I am sure that my dog is getting the care and attention that he needs.”
“Shantell was amazing and so patient with us when our plans changed. She sent us pictures and updates frequently which was very comforting. Our dog even went back in the house instead of immediately leaving with us when we picked him up. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely book again.”
