Cat Sitting Woodburn on the Potomac

About: Hi! I’m a college student and huge dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs and the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also volunteer with a local shelter through their Doggy Day Out program and help out with a local rescue, which has given me experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds and temperaments. On top of that, I regularly dog sit and care for dogs in my area for friends, family, and neighbors. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and loved while their owners are away! 🐾 My schedule is very flexible! I nanny Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, but I’m available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays for pet care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Tiffany took amazing care of our animals (cats, ducks, rabbits) while we were away! Great communication, sent us updates and pics with each visit. Would recommend her for anyone looking for pet sitting needs. We will definitely use her services again!”

“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”

About: I have two dogs of my own. My older dog, Ive raised from puppy to dog and give oral meds to him daily. My younger dog, I took over caring for from my parents but he is the best addition to my home. I have cared for dogs in the past for my parents, friends and others dog owners when they go out of town. I am experienced with all dog types and would love to meet your pet! I do work full time but have 3 day weekends for my schedule. I love to get outside with my dogs after work and would love to do the same with your pets! If this works for you, please contact me through Rover to schedule a time to meet. I have watched both peoples houses and pets while they have been on vacation so you don't need to worry about either when you are away from your pets. I can also take care of any house plants and other types of pets as well!

“Christina was lovely with our two cats and even provided medication and let us know when we had an ant problem while we are gone! Great sitter who loves animals! 🐈‍⬛🐾🖤”

“Payten was amazing. She got great pictures of my cats. Even the outside community cats were coming to see her. My foster kittens were a challenge and ahe handled it beautifully.”

“Lindsey was great with our pets! She was on time, stayed for a good visit, was amazing with our senior bulldog who is particular with strangers and needs a slow introduction to care givers. He loved her, and the high energy puppies got their dinner and a great bit of break outside. Thank you so much!!”

“I've been with Rover for over a decade and have been on both sides--needing pet care and giving pet care. Deann sets a new standard for care, communication, dependability, knowledge, and being a joy to work with. She was exceptional in every definition. I will be a regular with her!”

Lisa M.

“Amber is a life saver! She is super flexible, responds quickly and is very considerate about how we raise and train our pup. We have used Amber’s services several times this month and we’re very happy with the care she provides. Boba is always very excited (and relieved) when she visits!”

“Leslie is a wonderful pet sitter! She was great with my dog and was very respectful of our property. I am so happy she was able to help us out! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”

About: I’ve taken care of family friends pets since the age of 12. Neighbors as well as family friends have relied on me to feed and walk their pets even with a last minute request. I have experience with administering oral or injectable medications to dogs and cats. I’m currently working 1 part time job and am in college. My work schedule switch’s days so I am available in the morning as well as evening to do whatever is needed for a client. I am a very honest and trustworthy individual whose main goal is to keep clients pets safe as well as keep the owners calm and comfortable with me taking care of their pets.

About: Hi, I’m Ashley! I provide attentive, reliable care for your four-legged family members. Whether your pet needs an afternoon stroll, engaging yard playtime, a gentle drop-in visit, or quiet companionship while you’re away, I ensure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. My Background & Experience I’ve shared my home with cats my entire life and currently care for two beloved felines of my own. Two of my family's cats were diabetic, giving me hands-on experience administering feline insulin. I understand subtle body language, strict feeding schedules, and how to help reserved pets feel at ease. When it comes to dogs, meeting neighborhood pups while out on my daily delivery routes is always the highlight of my day—I always keep treats on hand to make fast friends! My hands-on dog experience includes: Playful walks & companionship: Great with friendly, moderately active dogs who enjoy neighborhood strolls, interactive playtime (fetch or gentle tug), and backyard sniff sessions. Senior dog fostering: Fostered an older pup through the Humane Society, providing patient, medication-aware care suited to a relaxed pace. Sitting for friends & neighbors: Experienced handling reliable feeding routines, potty breaks, and check-ins. Midday flexibility: Operating as an independent courier allows me to easily accommodate midday walk breaks and playtime drop-ins during prime work hours. What You Can Expect Safety & Respect: I always confirm dietary restrictions before offering treats and adhere strictly to your leash, feeding, and house rules. Clear Communication: Photo and status updates with every visit so you know your pet is happy and secure. Grounded, Caring Energy: Attentive company for friendly dogs and a gentle, quiet presence for cats. I’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to see if we’re a great match! I am an independent contractor and online student, which means I don't work a rigid 9-to-5 desk job. My schedule allows me to quickly adjust to your pet’s routine—whether you need regular mid-day potty breaks while you're at work, evening visits, or flexible weekend care. I focus solely on drop-in visits and walks at your home, keeping stress low for your pets. I respect your home's security, follow your exact feeding and care instructions, and practice careful door awareness so indoor cats and pups never slip out. Your pet receives my undivided care and attention.

“Hana was reliable, and Buddy looked forward to seeing her.”

About: I have a passion for animals. I love to take dogs on long walks and to give them lots of love and attention. I believe that animals aren't pets, they are children and should be treated with respect and love. I am available every week day at anytime. I would gladly visit a house multiple times to check in on and walk a dog. I am also willing to take care of cats as well, such as cleaning their litter and feeding them. I always have my phone on me so you can get in touch with me at any moment. I can't wait to watch your adorable dog or cat!:)

“Evangeline is a great communicator and awesome cat care taker. I am grateful to have found her and she has my recommendation!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, from tiny 8-pound Chihuahuas to 180-pound gentle giants like Bernese Mountain Dogs. I’m comfortable with all sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and support. I also have extensive experience with cats and currently have three of my own, so I understand the routines, behaviors, and special attention that both dogs and cats need to feel safe and happy. Over the years, I’ve helped care for a wide range of pets for family, friends, and clients, and I always treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, medications, or simply offering companionship, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels loved and well-cared for while their owners are away. I do work full-time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and consistent pet care. I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which means I’m available throughout the day for check-ins, walks, feedings, and companionship. From Friday through Monday, I can visit pets during the day as needed. On the days I’m in the office, I’m still available for early-morning and after-work visits, making it easy to keep your pet’s routine on track. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra attention, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for no matter what day of the week it is. My top priorities are safety, consistency, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s established routines so they feel secure, and I take time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort levels before introducing anything new. In a client’s home, I keep their space exactly as I found it while maintaining a clean, pet-safe environment. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, food and medications are given exactly as directed, and any special instructions are followed closely. I’m attentive to behavior and energy levels, and I take extra care with senior pets, shy pets, or pets who need a slower, gentler approach. I’m respectful of your home, your pet’s routine, and your expectations, and I always communicate clearly with updates, photos, and anything I notice during my visits. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away—and that you feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.

“Disha was amazing!! She was extremely communicative and kept me updated throughout my trip. She went to the store to get some extra litter for my kitten when it ran out and she sent lots of videos!! My kitty looked so happy and excited to see her and she took such good care of him!”
