Pet Sitters in Chillum, MD

Corinne

I was so grateful to Corinne for the exceptional care she took of my cats and my home. Her communication was excellent. I had unfortunately listed the incorrect return date and showed up a day early and she was so understanding and accommodating. Five stars for sure!

Kayan

Kayan was a wonderful house and pet sitter. She asked good questions from the start, giving us a sense of peace knowing she could handle whatever might come up. She provided frequent updates and photos. We came home to happy pets and a very clean house. She also went above and beyond, watering the flowers outside when it was hot and dry. She was flexible to our timing and so easy to work with. Kayan is a pro and we would welcome her back anytime!

Jessica

Jessica was an amazing cat/housesitter. Has lots of Experience with cats and Harry and Sassy took to her instantly. And she and Sassy, the shyer one, became best of friends. She also played with them everyday which puts me to shame. She alerted me to a possible health issue and followed up with vet visit as soon as possible and followed up with vet recommendation. Great communication skills.

Duncan

I was really hoping for a smooth experience with Duncan's pet care, and while Duncan seems like a nice person, there were several issues when I returned home that I feel need to be addressed. First, I explicitly stated that I did not want guests in my home, but my neighbor—who, while being a bit nosey, is generally helpful—mentioned that Duncan had someone over without my knowledge. This was quite concerning, as respecting my home and rules is important to me. Secondly, the cleanliness of the kitchen was not up to par. When I returned, I found sticky substances on the counters, around the sink, and residue left on the stove. Additionally, two pots stored in the cabinet were stained with what appeared to be the same food residue that was on the stove – one was my cast iron skillet. Cleanliness is a basic expectation when providing care, and this left me disappointed. The most disturbing issue, however, was the handling of the litter box. I had to throw away my broom and dustpan because they had been used to clean up cat waste that didn’t make it into the LitterBot because it was stuck in a cycle. It was clear that one of my cats was forced to relieve themselves outside of the litter box, and the way this was dealt with was unacceptable. Finally, Duncan notified me of a broken doorknob, which I had to report to maintenance. I later found out that it appeared to have been pulled off rather than being worn down by normal use as I assumed when I received the text. While I’m not sure how this happened, it was just another frustrating issue on top of everything else. I'm generally not picky and try to be understanding, but these problems left me disappointed with the care provided. I hope Duncan takes this feedback constructively and improves these areas for future clients.

Tim

Tim was so kind and sweet to my dog Roma. She clearly loved palling around with him. He stayed in touch several times a day to send photos and updates on walks and things they were doing. My home was spotlessly clean as well when I returned home. I highly recommend Tim to care for your pets, he’s wonderful!!

Kyle

Kyle was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog, Cosette! We would have him back and recommend him without reservation. I appreciated how organized and on top of things he was even before the sit started. He was flexible, super responsive, and responsible throughout the sit, even taking some issues that popped up with the apartment in stride until we could find a solution. It was clear how much Cosette liked him in every video he sent (and because she went straight to being mad at us for leaving when we got back instead of acting love-starved). We knew from the second we got home that both her and our apartment had been well cared for.

Maryjo & Jon

Maryjo and Jon were great sitters! They took really good care of all of our pets and the house. They were communicative and reliable. We would welcome them back anytime!

Jessica

This was our first sit we posted to zeewoi and we felt completely happy and comfortable trusting Jess to look after our crew for two weeks. She was a great communicator, warm, calm and friendly with our pets, sent sweet and funny photos of happy dog on walks and cats sprawled in the sun. We could not have asked for a better match and hope in the future we might be lucky enough to have her housesit again! She is a stellar pet sitter and all-around great human being.

Madeline

Maddie did a terrific job with our dogs. They seemed quite content when we got home. The house was clean and she kept my garden alive! She was very communicative before and during the sit. I would definitely have her again and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Carolyn

We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Carolyn and zeewoi. There was zero evidence that her and Douglas had even been here, except of course, our calm, happy pets. Our house was spotless and everything was exactly as we left it 5 days earlier. Although we weren’t able to meet in person, communication before and during the sit was perfect. She sent us cute pics of our babies, which helped us relax knowing they were well cared for. One of our dogs was in heat and they even handled her diaper situation without complaint. We would happily let Carolyn and Douglas sit for us again!

Juliet

Juliet stayed at our home and took care of it and our Momo for almost 20 days. She updated us regularly and sent pictures. He had no complaints and enjoyed our vacation peacefully! Will definitely recommend her.

Peter

Peter and Tater had a great week. Came back to the house cleaner than I left it and got lots of pictures of their fun outings around Capitol Hill. Would hire again.

Conor

Ren and Chloe watched our house and pets for 10 days. They were very communicative and sent updates and pictures. I would recommend them!

Dustin

Dustin and Laura are both awesome! Their Home is beautiful, and in an excellent area of town. They have a wonderful but shy Ninja cat who can only be seen by cat whisperers. Luna never made an appearance during our sit until the last day and it was quite brief, she ate her food while we slept or left the house.

Ekaterina

Ekaterina and Norbert made our first house-sitting through TrustedHousesitters, a relaxing, peaceful and great experience.
Ekaterina and Norbert gave us such a warm welcome and we were and still treated like friends. They send us a detailed, useful welcome guide and also explained everything carefully when we came. Our communication was wonderful from our first call on. Ekaterina and Norbert stayed in contact  during all their trip, so we could ask for any question and give news from the kitties.
Thanks Ekaterina and Norbert for choosing and trusting us to stay at your place and with your LOVELY kitties while visiting Basel. You've a special place in our hearts.

Moriah

Moriah and her two pups were great! Zeppelin and Pepper were both very well behaved and easy to care for. Both pups were sweet and loved their scratches. The free feeding and fenced backyard helped make this sit a breeze! Moriahs home is in a beautiful, quiet and safe area with all the amenities you need for a great stay. There are also a few walking trails accessible by foot from the house. Thank you for having me!

Ciara

A lovely experience meeting and befriending Hamish and Fiadh in their lovely little home in Greenwich.  And Ciara and Charlie very helpful and warm.

Diana Lee

I really enjoyed staying at Diane’s home and taking care of Moyo and Oreo.  Diane is a good communicator and her house is lovely.  It’s in a great location in West London with excellent access to public transportation.   The cats are very cute.  Oreo is cautious and took a while to let me pet him.  But he sure does like petting.  Moyo is less timid and also enjoys a good pet.  Diane, Matt and Damien were very welcoming.

Mila

Pet sitting Winnie & Moose was outrageously fun, they're such good sports. They have truly adorable personalities and I loved every minute spent with them.  From the first Zoom, thru emails and til the last text, Mila was very responsive. She communicated well about the town, the house, and of course the pets (not to forget their beautiful fish). Their home had everything a person could need (incl a very comfy bed), the neighborhood very safe, and convenient to the downtown area and the train. I would recommend the sit to anyone thinking about it.
