About: Experience in both overnight kennels and doggy daycare professionally as well as providing dog training and walking services in my area. I have experience with a wide range of dogs including those with behavioral issues and those that need extra care. I am currently working part time and your dog wouldn't be left home alone for more than 4 hours for boarding. Available everyday for walks! I have a nine year old pointer-lab mix in my apartment. There is a small dog park in our apartment complex for dogs to be able to run off leash without other dogs around and a big dog park in the neighborhood for socializing!

“Christian was very good with my cat, who is very cautious around new people. He did lots of little thoughtful things like leave treats around the apartment for when she was less stressed. He was also very flexible when my travel plans changed without much warning. He is polite and responsive. You can't find a better sitter for a cat in Rockville or Gaithersburg!”

“Erika is fantastic! My cat is very skittish and reserved and Erika was so patient with her and sent plenty of photos and videos which I loved. I’ve already booked her again for more drop in visits 😊”

About: My family and I love dogs very much. I will cook for them and bathe them. I like to take them to the park. I spile my dog's hair every day. I'm currently studying at home, so I have time to take care of the dog. Dogs can go out every 2-4 hours. I can sit in the yard and play with the dog. There are two yards for dogs to play in my house, and two puppies to accompany them. Dogs can move freely at home. I can clean the dog toilet.

“Marion was so generous while checking on our cats during the holidays. She gave them extra love and attention above and beyond what we expected! We came home to very happy cats that were almost disappointed it was us walking in the door rather than her! Thank you so much, Marion!!”

About: My genuine love for fur babies of all ages and my attention to their individual needs! We match energy 🤗 I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and sending plenty of photo updates to keep you in the loop! I am currently employed full time but I am pretty flexible during the weekends & I have availability after 6pm on weekdays depending on your location! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment! I follow your pet’s routine closely—meals, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel secure and stress-free.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family for the past couple of years and I enjoy welcoming our fur babies into my home. I work during the week from 9:30-6 so before and after work my time and efforts are dedicated to showing your fur babies as much love and attention as possible Even though I don’t have a big yard or a lot of run for your fur babies to play, I’m a sucker for a long run walk and ample time outdoors so that they’re getting their steps in too

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 only found about my love for dogs when I decided to get a dog a few years ago. My experience includes raising a chow chow puppy into a member of dog society by individual and dog park playtime, walks outside, administering medication, and enforced chill time as necessary. I know how anxiety inducing leaving your pets when you're away, so I will treat you the way I would like to be treated with many photo / video updates! I love all dogs, big or small, outgoing or shy! If your dog is socialized enough for a trip to PetSmart or marshalls, could do that too! I work full time from home without many meetings which gives me the flexibility I want to walk dogs or drop by a for visits. I can work with whatever equipment your dog is used to - collars and harnesses. If your dog has a schedule, I will follow it so they don't feel out of their routine.

About: I'm a full-time pet sitter because I genuinely love caring for paws and claws. During a sit or drop in, I dedicate my time loving and supporting their needs. My attention to detail helps support their typical routine and activities. They will get plenty of pets, affirmations, and play time while you're away. My goal is to offer as much peace of mind during your time apart. My chronic conditions offer insights and a deep love for any pets requiring extra attention and care during a sit or drop in visit. Seniors are some of my favorite sits to have! In regards to your home, I will make sure you return to a clean and comfortable space so you can focus on reconnecting with your pet and relaxing after your travels. I pet sit full-time! So I can offer my complete love and attention to your pets during our time together. And after pet sitting across Europe for 9 months, adapting to different pets' needs comes natural to me. Big on preparation prior to bookings! I love a Meet n Greet to ensure a deeper understanding of your pets lifestyle needs. If you provide a document or written notes, it'll be read multiple times and referred to throughout the sit. Checklists are my go to so any meds, trash/recycling, mail pickup, potties, meals, walks, cleaning, etc. are tracked! My goal is to offer as much ease while you're apart and when you return.

“Chris was great with our English bulldog! He took the time to understand his personality and provided him great care. Chris was reliable and incredibly communicative.”

About: Tons of experience walking dogs, plus years of experience caring for cats. While not formally trained I have an understanding for animal psychology and how best to interact in a respectful way. I also have experience administering medication for pets, including giving senior cats their insulin shots. I take walks almost every day, but would love to share than time (and get out even more) with a pup or two in tow! I treat your animals like my own, with unconditional love and attention. I respect their, and your, space and proceed as a guest in your space.

About: I am an admin & event planner and I have had dogs my entire life and they have been my best friends. As a family we have had 8 dogs in the last 31 years, big and small! I had a handsome rescue named Dutch who recently passed away. After he passed we adopted a rescue puppy named Patch and he’s pretty sweet too! He is 5 now. My mom and dad rescue dogs and so I have spent a lot of time in their home fostering puppies and rescues. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can run and play, I am also a quick drive from the dog park. My favorite thing in this world is cuddling up with our dogs and watching Netflix. If the weather is nice a walk in the park is also a plus! Patch also loves to play at the dog park and slobber on all of our friends! We have a 3 year old who LOVES dogs - she’s plays very gently but can get excited at first. I am currently able to be remote but do go in to the office as needed. My schedule is flexible. We are up at 7 am with our 3 year old and our own dog. I have a fully fenced in backyard and we go to the dog park three or four times a week. We do not leave food on the counters or anything that can be reached. Happy to give medication or anything else that is needed!

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. Having grown up with dogs and currently caring for three cats since 2021, I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are for pets—especially when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, or simply giving them space to feel safe. I am especially good with shy or sensitive pets, taking time to build trust and help them feel relaxed in a new environment. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of pet parents’ instructions, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and home care rules. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Most importantly, I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—because I know they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am available outside of my regular work hours, as well as on weekends and holidays, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care when pet parents need it most. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive proper attention, timely feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am dependable, punctual, and flexible, and I always communicate clearly about availability to make scheduling easy and stress-free. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I do not provide care in my own home, but I am happy to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and respect household routines, rules, and boundaries. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times—whether that means secure doors and windows, clean food and water areas, or safe play and litter box environments. I am attentive, reliable, and respectful of your home, and I treat both your pets and your space with care. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reliability I provide to every pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a consistent routine, I tailor my care to what makes them most comfortable. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it’s to create a positive experience for both you and your furry family member. Building trust with pets and their owners is my top priority, and I strive to make every stay or visit feel like a home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I prioritize maintaining their regular routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. I have a flexible work from home schedule that allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, exercise, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a pet who prefers a calmer environment, I am committed to giving each animal the individualized care and attention they deserve. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I enjoy. I love building relationships with animals and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s preferences. I make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while keeping their environment clean and familiar. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly atmosphere where they can safely play, rest, and receive individualized attention. I closely monitor their behavior, ensure they have access to fresh water, and provide plenty of enrichment and exercise based on their needs and energy level. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in caring and capable hands.

About: I’ve been taking care of neighborhood and family pets since I was a teenager. I’m very flexible and love to work with you to ensure you get the best care for your animals. I work as a substitute teacher and have a very flexible schedule. With enough notice, I can schedule half days or days off in the week to ensure your pet get’s more of my time. I can also work walks into my schedule before and after the school day and am fully available on weekends. I have roommates, so boarding animals might not be an option. I can always ask, though. I am comfortable staying in the pet’s home if it makes them more comfortable.
