Cat Sitters in Arbutus, MD

Jessica

Jessica was incredible! She was so thoughtful and communicative, and organized. In fact when we got home we were shocked to see the place was EXACTLY how we left it. Super clean and our pup clearly extremely well taken care of. She sent photos and videos and chats daily! We were so grateful and hope she comes sit for Aries again in the near future :)

Stephanie & Anthony

Stephanie was the perfect find for us. So much so that we contemplated giving a bad review so we could have her more often but we just can’t do that! Seriously, she loved and cared for our dogs as well as we do, and we do! Our dogs got hikes, walks and went snow shoeing while we were gone. We could not have imagined a better person to take care of our home and pets! She is officially now in the group of those we call friends.

L

L is an exceptional pet sitter! She kept me updated at all times on how Bella was doing, letting me know when she went on walks or played with toys. She also sent frequent pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease. I returned to find my house completely clean, just as if no one had even stayed there. I highly recommend L; she is trustworthy and I can confidently leave my home and dog in her care.

Hannah

July 22, 2022 Hannah and her boyfriend Chiyoung were ideal house sitters for my two dogs, Charlie and Gertie. They relentlessly walked the dogs three times a day and allowed them time to meet their canine friends in the hood. They also proved to be excellent at keeping my house in good shape and in looking after my swimming pool. The place was in better shape than before I left to visit my sister in Scotland. Hannah and Chiyoung have my highest recommendation.. I give them five stars in every category. John McClintcok

Azura & Jonathan

Azura was A-mazing. On time, clean as a whistle, sent pics of our pups each da which helped us feel totally secure... Not to mention how friendly, likeable and prompt she was. Would highly recommend her. Choose her, in fact! You won't regret it.

Patty

Patty was wonderful! She cared so well for Alia, sent photos and regular updates, and is frankly just a joy to be around and work with. I am grateful to have had the chance to connect with her. Patty, if you ever want to return to Asheville please let me know!

Katie

I highly recommend Katie! We came home to happy cats and a clean house. She was friendly, helpful, organized, and great with communication and sending us updates. Besides going above and beyond to take care of our pets, she also seems to be a cat magnet - our grumpy older cat, who never likes anyone, was sitting in her lap daily - amazing! It was great to have someone who truly enjoys spending time with cats.

Nick

Nick and Ally did a wonderful job caring for our dog and house. They left the place just as they found it, and sent pictures throughout the weekend which we appreciated! Our dog was very happy to have them, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a house/pet-sitter!

Christine & Richard

Christine & Richard were great. They watched our two dogs while we were away for a long weekend, and even took care of administering medicine when one of them had a last minute ear infection pop up. Would love to have them sit again some time!

Diane & Al

Diane and Al have graced my home with their thoughtfulness and care! It was lovely that we got to meet before I left for a couple of weeks because these are two very special folks. I think Emma is missing them... The garden was watered and abundant when I returned, and there was a little stone path made to the entrance that was just cobbled (excuse the pun!) together before I left, that is now a artfully laid stone path. Al even noticed a funky spot on my kitchen windowsill and made a quick fix before the rain came! The house was clean, linens cleaned and bed made. I truly couldn't have asked for more!! I think they loved the area so it is quite likely they will want to come back and I would very much welcome them again!

Monica & Alan

Monica and Alan are wonderful pet sitters. They provided our Sadie with a fun and stimulating visit. They sent pictures and really enjoyed their time with her and in our community. I think Sadie was sad to see them go. Now she’s left with her boring parents.

Roxann

Roxann was great! Timely, tidy, and communicative. Would recommend working with her!

Shelley

We honestly feel like we gained two new friends not just housesitters. Communication throughout with Stephen & Sarah was easy and fun and the updates during our month away just flowed. 

Our cats Harvey (Keitel) and Millie (Vanilli) - as they have now been monikered and shall forever be known - had the most wonderful time and were a little upset that it wasn’t a permanent swap. 

We returned to a spotless house, a cared for garden, two very content cats and a thoughtful new addition to our garden. 

Already planning our next adventure so we can invite Stephen & Sarah back!

Karli

Christopher was a life-saver! We had just moved into our new home, and needed a pet sitter for our trip. Even without all the details sorted, Christopher was very responsive, flexible and patient as we worked out the plans. He took excellent care of our two cats and was in frequent contact, sending photos and messages. The house was in perfect condition when we returned. We found Christopher to be very kind and responsible. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Christopher sit for them!!
