Put simply, a pet sitter or dog walker cares for a pet when an owner is unavailable. Maybe the owner isn’t available because they work long hours and can’t come home to walk Max during lunch. Or they’re traveling out of town and need someone to feed Stella and clean the litter. There are many reasons someone may need help with their pet, including travel, long work hours, late or early meetings, recovering from surgery or physical disability, or the recent birth of a child. We’re happy to serve our clients whenever they need us.
The great thing about pet sitting and dog walking is that pets can stay in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safe. Our staff travels to the client’s home rather than a pet coming to us. This reduces stress, separation anxiety, and exposure to illness or injury from other animals. Pets can follow their usual routines and benefit from one-on-one attention from their pet care provider.
We offer Dog Walking and Sitting services for our canine clients, and Cat and Critter Sitting for felines and other companion animals. The number of visits per day is based on each pet’s individual pet care plan, as determined by the owner. We also offer Overnight Visits for clients who would prefer that a sitter stayed overnight in their home with the pet!
In addition to caring for pets, we offer home care including bringing in mail, rotating lights, and watering the plants.
No, we do not offer any boarding services. We believe pets are most comfortable in their home environment. Unlike a kennel or boarding facility, our staff are able to provide one-on-one attention to your pets.
We provide services for pet families in Montgomery County, MD.

Yes, and we never stop there. A background check only tells you about past convictions and is not enough information to determine if you should trust someone with your pet and home! In addition, we use reference checks and science-based training to make sure sitters are a good fit for our team. We would never send just anybody into your home.
Our office hours are 9am-5pm Monday through Friday, however we offer drop in visits between 6am-10pm. Care outside those hours is covered by our overnight visits.
Your sitter will be there during a pre-determined time window. For dogs and pets with medical needs we offer a two-hour time window for arrival. For cats and critters with no medical needs we offer visits in the morning (before 11am), evening (after 4pm) or any time of day.
All visits are GPS tracked and timestamped in our TimeToPet app. After each visit you’ll receive a “report card” with photos and a message from your sitter. You’ll know what is happening in real time!
Our staff works in small teams to provide pet services, with usually 2-3 staff members working together to provide care. All our staff undergo the same extensive training and meet together regularly to stay up to date on client information and best practices. This method allows us to greatly increase our availability to our clients, so we can be there for them whenever they may need us!
Clients will meet a staff member during the Registration Meeting and enrollment process, and are welcome to book Pre-Departure Meetings if they would like to meet any other member of the team.
You can message your sitter directly through the TimeToPet app, no need to go through the office!

Yes, we can administer any medication an owner can give their pet at home. Please note we cannot administer medications to aggressive pets. If you believe your pet may become aggravated in your absence, we can help set up alternative plans.
For the safety of our staff, we do not work with pets who currently have known aggression issues. We will work with pets who may need extra time and space to adjust to us. If you have questions about your pet’s individual history and behavior, please email us at info@rightfluff.com.
