Dog Sitters in Montgomery County, MD

I have been bringing my chocolate Lab mix for grooming for the past 5 years. My dog is nervous around strangers and tends to tremble & whine when we are not with him. However the groomer here has been caring, making sure to make him feel at ease. He comes back smelling good and all clean after his medicated shampoo bath, ear cleaning, teeth brushing & nail grinding. While there have been ups & downs in the past with staff, right now the front desk team is friendly & helpful. Big shout out to Samantha who is a groomer there.

This is our go to place for our mutts. And it’s only gotten better lately. Our one dog- who isn’t a fan of kennels- now actually is excited when we get to Best Friends. Let’s aren’t cheap and neither is boarding- but this has become our go to place because it’s close, it’s clean, and we are genuinely impressed w the people that work there.

Completely happy with Best Friends Pet Hotel. My Senior cat, who loves people, is definitely better off here than with someone coming by once a day at home. My other cat was fine with that, but not this guy. The staff are warm, friendly, professional and capable. When I come in they all remember me and my pet! If you are a cat owner and need to travel, I recommend Best Friends Pet Hotel.

My very nervous dog needed a paw trim and nail clipping. The woman was so so nice to him, asking her colleague to come and pet my dog as she cut and trimmed. She did a wonderful job! I love Best Friends for full grooming, too. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog in their care.

I have only used the grooming services here but Laurie is the best groomer! I know my pup is in good hands and always looks beautiful when I pick her up!

I have been bringing my cavapoo Finn for grooming to Anya at Best Friends for a couple of years. He always comes out looking great and just as I had asked for. They are as accommodating as possible when I call for appointments (she is very popular, so I have learned to call a few weeks ahead).

The staff here took fabulous care of my pigeon Peace all week! They also shared some great photos from his stay. It is challenging to find such a good bird sitter, particularly one that will let you bring your bird in his usual cage. Thanks for everything.

Anja is amazing with our mini schnauzer! After trying several groomers, we found Best Friends and Anja in Rockville. When the Rockville location closed we followed Best Friends and Anja to Gaithersburg even though it is further away. Well worth the drive!

First time I used Best Friends for Boarding I am very impressed. My dog is very loving, and sweet, however she doesn’t always get along with other dogs. The attendance paid special attention to her needs and showed her fun playtime and love. She was very happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I will definitely use Best Friends again. Thank you to everyone who works here, very friendly group.

I was very pleased with Best Friends. The staff was friendly and Anya, the groomer, did an excellent job. My dog, Bella, requires a bit of special care and everyone who handled her was very considerate of her needs. I will definitely be bringing her back for future groomings.

Our pup suffers from high anxiety and takes a while to warm up to new people. Caroline has been absolutely wonderful and patient to meet and walk our dog. She is timely to respond and always on time for our weekly walks. Amazing dog walker and sitter!

We have been using Caroline/Spoiled Pawz for dog sitting and cat care for the last few years and she's wonderful! We have an anxious dog, but he is always happy to go into her home and never hesitates. She has a big yard and dogs are able to go in and out as they please. I feel like she offers genuine care and kindness towards our animals and they are always happy to see her. We are grateful to have this option available for when we travel and highly recommend it!

Caroline has been great with my two pups. They get excited when she comes to walk them. She is flexible with my changing schedule. She’s also been available to cat sit if I am away for an extended period. I trust her with my fur babies and home. I also appreciate the run down of what transpired during the day.

Spoiled Pawz is an amazing dog walking service that I have used for almost two years now. Caroline is professional and friendly with me, good and patient with my dogs. I never worry knowing she’ll be coming by to take care of my furry babies while I’m gone.

Caroline cares for my pup as if she were her own! She does an awesome job communicating with me after each walk - which I appreciate because it gives me peace of mind. And as my schedule changes occasionally I truly am grateful for Caroline's flexibility. She's a gem!

I have used Caroline for boarding and mid-day walks for the past 6+ months and I have very been pleased. I could trust Caroline to reliably check on my dog in the middle of the day while at work and on business trips. My dog absolutely loved her. I love coming home and reading her notes how London did that day.

Caroline walked all my dogs for about 8 years and if I still had dogs she would walk them today. She is extremely professional and cares very much about the animals she is responsible for. I have no reservations in recommending her highly.

Caroline is amazing, I have a hyper, dog/cat aggressive 105 pound Doberman that she accepted without hesitation. My walks are easier because of the leash training that Scotty has received from her. I had surgery in December '21 and she walked him for 6 weeks straight, 3 x per day, early in the morning, noon and late at night while I recovered. Her dedication is tremendous, she is very trustworthy and I highly recommend her services!

Caroline has been walking/boarding our dog for years now. Couldn't be happier or rate the experience higher. It's great having someone you can trust to be there when you need them. Over the years, Caroline has shown herself to be caring, responsible, and competent when it comes to taking care of our dog. I feel very lucky that we found her.

We used Caroline's services for 4+years. She is very responsible, takes amazing care of our dog and cat . Our animals love their time with her. She has taken daily walks with our dogs, our pets have boarded with her and she's even checked in on our house while we were away. I highly recommend Caroline and Spoiled Paws.

I love Fetch. My cat sitter, Stephanie, takes great care of my cat. I can tell she plays with him because he starts searching for his toy when I get back from my trips. The app makes it so easy to schedule and pay for pet sitting. This service is reliable, and the people are so nice and trustworthy. I would recommend to anyone.

Would highly recommend Fetch! for pet care services. My wife and I have been using them exclusively for a couple of years now to care for our two beloved cats whenever we're out of town. Jamie, the owner and Amy, our sitter are very …

a great experience! Jeanette came out to meet myself and our cats before we scheduled anything, she's so sweet! we got a (free!) lockbox, and after a tour/meet and greet/pointing out where supplies, etc are kept, we were able to schedule. everyone is so communicative and responds quickly, not to mention we requested services fairly last minute, and were accommodated - for this, we are so grateful! we got a report after each visit, and our girls were very well taken care of! we will definitely use The Right Fluff again when necessary, and I highly recommend them to anybody looking for pet sitting services.

Excellent experience...from the initial, introductory meeting with Jeanette through several days working with terrific pet sitters. My two Havanese pups were handled professionally and with great attention to detail. All of my requests were covered...and the sitters shared so many great pictures throughout the day. The pet sitters came to my home 3/day and sat with my pups for 2 hours giving them lots of attention while we were on vacation. If you are looking for a professional, dependable pet sitter... look no further. Highly recommend !!

Perfect! We felt our dog was safe, very well taken care of and happy. We'll definitely ask you again when we need help with Birdie.

We recently moved to Bethesda and are so lucky to have found The Right Fluff. We have already trusted them twice to take care of our 14 yr old asthmatic tabby while we travel. They came twice a day and sent us detailed descriptions of how she is feeling, eating, and taking her meds. We also get pictures(example attached)! Their online portal and scheduling tool is easy to use as well.

I really wanted to love this pet sitting company and I intended to use them every time we travel because of their glowing reviews… I was hoping our experience would be as amazing as other reviewers have described theirs… Unfortunately we came back from our trip to find our place in a horrific condition, there was pee all over our chase and couch, blankets and pillows, we had to throw it all away. The pee smell was sooo strong yet nobody from this company has noticed anything when I asked how could they let this happen… And for the reference we have 3 air purifiers, so you get the picture how bad it was… Cats were luckily okay and alive but all my plants have died since they have not be watered at all, and per my instructions they were supposed to take care of the plants too and water them regularly… I have reached out and expressed my grievances with the company and asked for a refund, they declined and suggested to replace all our dead plants, but that never happened and they took no responsibility for the issue with pee all over the house… So be aware, I would not recommend this company!!! Our experience was absolutely horrible, they are reckless and careless!!!

Excellent service. Within two days of my initial call, Chelsea had visited me and my cats and arranged for two days of pet-sitting. Friendly, professional service. Easy to arrange. Very accommodating. Will definitely use again and would recommend to anyone needing a reliable pet-sitting service.

I have never left my 4 cats before so I was very worried about how they would do with a stranger coming in to check on them and take care of feedings, litter, etc. One elderly cat requires medication twice per day, one hides when strangers come in the house, and the other two make feeding four cats extremely difficult as you cannot get the food into the dishes without them trying to get at the cans. They are also all the same breed making it hard for people to tell who is who. None of this was an issue for the Right Fluff. They took such great care of my precious cats and truly put my mind to ease that they were safe and loved while I was away. I received updates and photos after the visits letting me know how everyone did. I am so happy to have found this great service and am looking forward to taking more time away from home knowing my cats have a great sitter!

We love The Right Fluff! We moved back to the area & needed to find a dog walker about two months ago for our two rescue dogs (medium-large sized). We feel so lucky to have found this group! They not only follow all the instructions/requests we provided (for our sweet yet particular pups), but they also provide timely updates/photos, clear communication & are always flexible with scheduling changes. Highly recommend!

I cannot rate this team highly enough! My wife and I had never used a pet sitter before, but we were traveling out of the country for ~2.5 weeks and wanted a pet sitter (we have two cats) that we could rely on. Marcy and Erin were both incredible to work with, they were very responsive and obviously knowledgeable about what they do. We had a meeting for them to meet our pets and go through our home/how to take care of our cats, and then afterward we arranged for the actual specifics of our trip (key drop off, etc.). All communication is logged via an online web service that has an app, but is also easily accessible via email/web browser. Each day that Erin visited she took photos of our cats for us to see, and also gave us a detailed description of how they were doing. Erin's messages became one of our favorite ways to start the day while we were away :) Would 100% work with this sitter again!

The Right Fluff Pet Sitting took care of my two cats for 3 weeks in July (2022) and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I found my girls in really good shape. I was very stressed because one of my cats is diabetic and needs to receive insulin twice a day. Scott and the team were absolutely perfect, they administered the insulin without problems, and I received reports and pictures for every visit. That let me to enjoy my vacation knowing that my cats were well taken care. My cats loved them, even the one who is always scared of strangers went to say hello every day to them and allow them to pet her. I will for sure use their services again next time I travel.

The Outward Bound Hounds crew has been reliable, trustworthy, and responsible but most of all loving, sweet and attentive to our dog. All the things you would hope your dog walking service would be. Highly recommend! And they send cute pictures, the one below from their walks each time out as well

I’ve been a client of Outward Bounds for over 2 years. I have found Regina & her staff wonderful to deal with. She took care of my recently deceased ShihTsu and my Beagle. Both of them would be very excited to see them. I look forward to working with them for many years to come.

I had the absolute best experience with the outward bound hounds crew for our “everything but the sleepover” package. Not only did they handle my multi-dog, crate and rotate household (including one working dog!) but they took extra care of my pup who had tummy troubles and got him the veterinary care he needed. They provided thorough updates during every visit and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with the dogs. Each of them went above and beyond - all of this coming from a dog trainer who is VERY particular about my pet care! Highly recommend!

I am so grateful we found Outward Bound Hound! Regina and her team are exceptional! They are professional, reliable, and caring. Regina goes the extra mile, and I feel peaceful knowing our puppy is in good hands when we are away. Highly recommend!

This is our first experience with Outward Bound Hounds and it was great. The communication from the team via app was super easy to see and loved to see pics of our dogs on their walks easy visit. Will be using the team again soon!

Our giant schnauzer, Lola, is a full-fledged member of our family and her wellbeing is incredibly important to us. The team at Outward Bound Hounds gets it. Lola loves their visits and we love getting updates about their walks (adventures) on the app. I’d give them 6 stars if I could!

Outward Bound Hounds is phenomenal!!! I trust the team with my home and my dog. Those are two extremely important things to me. Outward Bound Hounds has been walking and watching my pup for over three years. Every year on my pups birthday, he is remembered and he gets a little gift and card. Very reliable, responsive and as important as everything else, caring. I highly recommend Outward Bound Hounds!

We're so lucky to have found Outward Bound Hounds! Their professionalism, expertise, and love for what they do was evident from the moment we first spoke. Our pup loves Regina, and she is happier and calmer after getting a great workout with OBH. Highly recommend hiring them for your dogwalking and pet sitting needs!

All of the care providers were wonderful. Very loving and affectionate with Cooper and Mason. Kept us up to date in their visits arriving promptly when scheduled and sending photos each time. Also took excellent care of potted plants during an extremely hot week! Keeping the info in our permanent contacts!!

My girl, Evie, is not an easy pup. She can be weary of strangers and intimidating. My boy, Applesauce, is a bull headed, sweet tempered meathead with a penchant for escaping. I’d call him a Houdini, but he’s just not that smart, bless his smooshy face. Regina took their quirks in stride, literally. :) I feel very lucky that I don’t feel guilty leaving the dogs behind, they have their adventures while we are having ours

Tabi's Pet Care is the best! I recently used them for my two cats when I had to go away on a three-day business trip. I was impressed with them from the beginning. Both Tabitha (the company's owner) and Carissa (the pet sitter) did a meet and greet before my trip and we went over food, litter boxes and other things. While I was away, they were very responsive, showed up on time and took photos of my babies. They left messages for me after every visit as well to give an update. This was the first time my cats had ever had a pet sitter and I admit I was a little nervous. No need! They took such good care of my cats which really put my mind at ease. I am going to use them again over the holidays. A great experience all around. Very highly and enthusiastically recommended!

Have been using Tabi’s Pet Care for dog walks which have been great. With our schedule at home we usually have to schedule last minute and Tabi and company are always responsive and able to help. We recently just got back from being half way across the globe for two weeks. Like any dog parent we had some anxiety about leaving our pupper behind. However that was all put to rest even before we landed at our destination. Brian stayed at our house for the two weeks. He gave us daily updates in writing and pictures. The few times we reached out over text he was quick to respond. When we got home the house was as clean as we left it. The bed was even stripped. After being up for 38 hours it was the icing on the cake to come home to a well taken care of dog and a clean house. Will absolutely be using Tabi and group for all my dog walk/sitting needs going forward.

We had a family emergency where we needed to be gone for a few days, and Tabi was able to take care of our Frenchie very last minute. She took Enrique out for his walks and gave him his meds in the morning and updated us about every little thing. She even sent pics!! She took away so much stress from an already stressful situation. We are so grateful for her! Our dog loved her and you can tell she has such a big heart for animals! I’m only using her services from now on. So glad we found her! Truly one of a kind!!

all of our dogs get so excited when Tabi shows up. they love going on walks with her, especially the 2 new additions to the pack. they also love when she dog sits for us. she’s very reliable and i trust her with our fur babies.

Tabi did an excellent job grooming my soft coated wheaten terrier! The service was affordable compared to other groomers in the area but did not lack in quality at all! I loved hearing about how she gave my anxious pup frequent breaks and walks during the grooming and never had her in a crate. You can tell that she truly cares for the animals under her watch.

Tabi and Jen took amazing care of our four cats over an extended weekend -- so much so that they barely seemed to miss us! Highly recommend!

This was our first time using Tabi's pet care and it won't be the last! We first met Tabi and the person who would be caring for our cat, Carissa. I liked that both Tabi and Carissa came along to meet Oliver (our cat), ask questions and really seemed to 'get' Oliver. Carissa was WONDERFUL - every day of our absence we would get a report, with photos, sometimes a video and a whole run down of her visit. Carissa was funny, caring and my husband and I looked forward to getting our 'Oliver Report' every day while we were gone. Highly recommend!

The sitters took excellent care of my dog and were incredibly flexible and accommodating. Excellent and regular communication to let me know how she was doing.

Tabi's pet care has been cat sitting for us for a while and I wouldn't trust our pets with anyone else. All of the staff and Tabi herself are responsive, responsible and go the extra mile! Asael particularly goes the extra mile to clean up and make sure the cats are happy. Highly recommend!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Tabi's Petcare! She did an amazing job washing and grooming my three dogs, Dexter, Charlie, and Rudy. Not only did they make my pups look and smell fantastic, but she also handled them with such care and patience. Tabi's attention to detail and love for animals really shines through in her work. I highly recommend Tabi's Petcare to anyone looking for top-notch grooming services for their furry friends.

I am so glad I found Gaithersburg Pet Sitting and highly recommend them! I was very nervous to leave my precious cat (and access to my home) to someone I had just met, but Joe was amazing and provided excellent pet care while leaving my house in great shape. He updated me multiple times (unprompted) while I was away. I would absolutely feel safe leaving my pets with Joe (and GPS) again, and plan to for future trips.

Your search for the best care for your pet has ended with Gaithersburg Pet Sitting! Rosary and Joe solved all my problems I've had with leaving my cat. She's a rescue cat and sensitive to change. I've been told by so many people that cats can be left up to a week by themselves but I couldn't let mine go without being checked on, daily. That's what GPS does. Joe stops by each day that I'm away and washes and refills all the water bowls, refills the food and checks to make sure my cat is okay. I don't worry about my beloved cat when I have to travel for work, vacation and many family events. Rosary and Joe have always been great about accommodating my travel schedule, even with short notice. I trust them 100% in my house without me there. Joe gets my mail and brings in any packages delivered. Plus, the price for all this stellar service is very reasonable.

I found Gaithersburg Pet Sitting through Google reviews when I was looking for a new cat sitter, and I am so glad I found them! Margo has taken care of both my current cats and one who has crossed over the rainbow bridge. It is clear how much she loves animals (and cats, especially!) and I fully trust her anytime we need to leave our two kitties! It's such a relief to be able to go away for any amount of time and not have to worry if our cats are being taken care of. I would recommend GPS to anyone looking for friendly, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitters :)

We have being using Gaithersburg Pet Sitting since 2005 and have nothing but praise for Rosary and Margo our usual sitter. When we started we did so because we had a very old 3 legged lab Marnie who did not do well being kenneled. She required assistance getting in and out of the house, Margo and Rosary were always more than capable of caring for her. Just before we had to put her down Margo was caring for her as we were out of town and she noticed Marnie was having more difficulty than usual she called and we discussed it. At that time we also had one cat Nemo, who decided to get out of the house on us. Margo helped patrol the neighborhood and talk with neighbors till we found him 2 weeks later. We now have 4 cats 2 of them were born in our house. They all love Margo who came to visit them when they were first born. She is one of the few people who they will all come and greet. We thank Gaithersburg pet sitting for the wonderful care they provide our animals when we are out of town. We never worry about anything, the house is always neat and clean, the mail and newspapers brought in and in the summer plants outside watered. It is a comfort to know that not only are our pets well cared for but the house as well.

We have used GPS (Rosary and Joe) for years now. And we always return home, to two fur babies who have been well fed and loved during our absence. Joe is the cat whisperer. He manages to get our shyest to come out for food and pets. Reliable, communicative, available and affordable. What's not to like! It's everything you and your animals will need, whether it's an overnight getaway or an overseas trip. Simply the best!

I don't leave town without them! GPS has been petsitting for my cats (and the rest of house) for nearly five years now. Short trips (several days), longer trips (several weeks). The care and attention provided have been excellent throughout. They are efficient in taking reservations and have readily been able to accomodate when I've had unexpected schedule changes. I've come to have considerable confidence that my pets and house are well cared for when I am away. Hard to see how the services provided could be better!

Awesome care of our two cats. Have been using their service for three years. Mr. Joe is a great pet sitter. I highly recommend you to their service. .

We've used Gaithersburg Pet Sitting on three occasions over the past six months. Rosary run a great operation. Jerry and his wife take immaculate care of our two cats and bunny while we're out of town. They always leave a detailed note about our pets upon returning. Superb service and very affordable. Highly recommend.

We have a 17 year old cat that is on a lot of meds and does not like strangers much. We were a little nervous trying a new company, but we had run out of options. I knew Margo was going to be a good fit for us when she spent hour with us when she did her introductory visit. She took lots of notes and asked a lot of questions. She does a great job with Gabe. He has warmed up to her enough to sit with her on the couch when we are gone. With his other pet sitters he always seemed a little stressed when we came home, but not with Margo he is a happy, talkative kitty when we walk in the door. I highly recommend Margo with Gaithersburg Pet Sitting.

I could not be a more enthusiastic supporter of Rosary and Joe who are true animal loves. If I could give them Ten stars I would not hesitate. I have a 150 pound 4 year old Saint Bernard “Bitcy” who loves her walks and belly rubs with “Uncle Joe.” They share a level of Mutual affection that is rare. Dog lovers know that these animals are our babies and the level of trust I have when Bitcy is in their care allows me to live guilt and worry free when I have to travel or go into the office. You will not find a more caring and competent Pet service anywhere.
