“Omar was a house sitter for our dog and cat on relatively short notice due to a sudden death of a close relative. Omar was flexible and communicated very well with us. We greatly appreciated the morning and evening pictures of both pets. Highly recommended and we will be a repeat customer.”


“Felicia has only sat with our dog, Walter a couple of times, but she has been terrific. He loves her and is very relaxed when she is here. She is easy to reach and always on time. She will be one of our regular Rover sitters now!”


“Jeffrey saved the day with our anxious pup during a recent stay - while helping us sort out a FedEx delivery AND a problem with our deadbolt! He goes far above and beyond anything one should expect from a sitter and delivered amazing care for our dog who needed to be coaxed into eating and drinking while we were away. He’s also a great communicator who will keep you informed and share lots of pet photos and videos. Recommend Jeffrey highly, but please leave some time on his schedule for us! 😂 He’s a keeper!”


“Sabria was a lifesaver during our weeklong vacation over Fourth of July week. She stayed at our house with our dog and cat for a full week and took such great care of everything. Our dog is nervous and slow to warm up, and she was so caring and patient with him. Our cat can also be a picky customer and he was accepting head rubs from her almost right away. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the week and had great communication. She was very graceful during some technical difficulties with the house that were completely our fault. And she left the house spotless! She is an all around kind, compassionate person and we felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of things while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Sabria for house and pet sitting and dog walking. She is the best!”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care Jenny provided! She was responsible, attentive, and truly empathetic with our two dogs, making them feel safe and loved while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home and was incredibly respectful of our space. We especially appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and how responsive she was throughout the stay. She even went out of her way to ship something we had forgotten at home—above and beyond in every way. Highly recommend!”


“Carolina is an absolute ANGEL! She cares for my pups like they are her own. One of my pups suffers from severe anxiety and she goes out of her way to comfort him with tons of cuddles and love. I am so happy I found her and will continue to use her to care for my pups in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”


“She took such good care of our 3 year old pittie for the afternoon/evening while my partner and I had conflicting work trips. Great communication for us nervous parents and lots of pictures. Our 75 lb pittie can be a lot to handle and we’re so thankful!”


“Addie was great! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs and home with Addie while away. She was very professional, sent a picture every day, and even put the sheets in the wash before leaving. Thank you Addie!”


“Jina surpassed all our expectations! She was very communicative, sending detailed updates, lots of videos and absolutely frame-worthy photos 😻 She made our two week trip worry free and did an amazing job taking care of our cat and apartment while we were away. It was relief to see we left our cat in great hands and how much he enjoyed Jina’s company. They quickly became best friends and we will be happy to book Jina again when needed. Thank you Jina ❤️”


“Kayley was the answer to my prayers. She got along well with my large and sometimes rambunctious dog and was fine keeping my dog and cat separated at all times. She sent lots of photos and updates during her stay, which did a lot to calm my nerves. My husband and I were able to rest easy on our vacation knowing our pets were in good hands.”


About: Originally from TX, I have grown up taking care of all kinds of animals! From horses and cows to dogs, cats, and even turtles! I have a real passion for all creatures and look forward to caring for yours too! I also have experience administering medications (including insulin injections). I have helped with training dogs and horses as well as taken care of orphaned puppies/kittens when their mom’s had passed on. I’m an active duty veteran who is currently pursuing her degree at MC! I’m also a momma to a 2 y/o boy, a baby girl, a 3-year old kitty, a 3-year old cane corso, and lots of fish! I work and study from home, so I’m always available to provide your family the love and care they deserve. I’m very detailed orientated and understand that our pets thrive best on a routine (especially when it comes to meal time!). I always provide them with love, comfort, and a safe space. I understand that some pets like their personal space or “me time” and I am of course both respectful to that and patiently wait for them to feel safe to explore me being in their home.

“My pups loved having Edgar stay with them. He sent videos and pictures so I knew they were happy and entertained. My crew is high energy and he was able to keep them busy/out of trouble. Will definitely book again.”


“Thelma did a great job taking care of our three cats while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pictures and was very responsive and followed our directions perfectly.”


“Keara was wonderful with our little puppy Loki. He is very young still and quite anxious around people as he still needs to be socialized. Keara was fantastic with him, very patient and kind and they had a great bond. She was exceptionally communicative and we received detailed and reassuring updates, pics and videos throughout our trip. I can't recommend Keara enough for house sitting!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would :)”


About: ***Starting October 2025, I will be in Brookesville and too far away from work to come home during lunchtimes (not including holidays.) I'll only be able to watch dogs Thursdays PM - Sunday PM. Cats welcome anytime, just contact me and I can unblock my calendar for your booking. House sitting depending on location always available (references available.) Thank you! Hello All! I grew up with lots of dogs always in the house. Big and small I loved them all dearly and miss them. Would like to meet as many dogs (or any other animal!) as possible in my lifetime :) If your dog wants snuggles or long walks or both, I'd love to help. I foster dogs and rabbits, at which times I will be marked unavailable on my calendar since they need to be as comfortable as possible. Also, I don't take more than 1 dog at a time unless they are a pair from the same home. Experience with all size dogs, all ages and giving meds. I know the vets and emergency services around Gaithersburg well. Child free and smoke free household. *I won't use choke collars on any dogs (it's cruel.) If you have a dog w/ a choke collar I suggest getting a front hooking harness instead. Right now I work in the office 4 days a week. I work nearby so coming home to feed and take your fur baby out for walks during the day is very easy. I have a largeish 1 bdrm with a nice balcony and easy access to green space and a small park. Fur babies are allowed on the furniture and bed and will be treated like royalty.
