Pet Sitters in Churchton, MD

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!

Cat

We recently had Cat housesit for us while we were out of the country, and she was a fantastic pet, house, and plant-sitter. Many housesitters manage 2 of 3, but very few go 3 for 3! We returned to a spotless home, with plants looking healthy and watered (we have a TON of plants), and most important – three very contented animals. Our dog was really sad to see her go! My husband and I also enjoyed getting to know Cat before and after our trip and cannot recommend her highly enough! We would welcome her back anytime.

Kimberly

Kimberly was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat while I was traveling. She provided frequent updates and photos, checked in with any questions or concerns, and definitely made me feel like my apartment and pet were in good hands! She also took the time to come by and meet us before her sit, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend Kimberly!

Miles

Miles was an excellent guest during my long trip away from home. He took excellent care of my two elderly cats, including administering eye drops and a medication to my eldest. He was always prompt in communicating and making sure I had peace of mind. The house was clean at my return and he helped storing food items I purchased remotely so I'd had food when I got home. I highly recommend.

Montinique

Montinique did a great job of taking care of our two small dogs they seemed happy and we appreciated the photos she shared. She followed our farm chore list , responded to texts and contacted us quickly when an unexpected contractor came to the farm.

Rebecca

Rebecca was fantastic! She's a well-traveled sitter who easily adapted to the quirks in a tropical home and our dog loved her. Everything in the house was well cared for, the car was in perfect condition, the plants were alive and well, and the dog was sad to see her go. Perfect sit!

don

Don was responsive, reliable and took great care of our home and our cat. It was a pleasure to have Don stay in our home for two weeks and we'd happily invite him back or recommend him for future sits. On top of that Don is a great photographer and we got great pictures of our cat. We really felt that Don went above and beyond to make sure our cat felt happy, safe and comfortable.

Galavi

Galavi and her partner Garvit were absolutely wonderful guests and took such loving care of our apartment and two kitties. They were so kind and sweet to communicate with, and very helpful for a number of things we needed help with while away. So very fast to respond and always gracious -- and our kitties so very clearly adored them. garvit and Galavi stayed with us for two weeks and I am so happy we found them! I would d welcome them back any time.

Nikki

Nikki was great! Awesome to have a local who knew the area. Doggie was well cared for and happy. House was in great shape. Loved having her!

Morgan

My cat seemed happy with Morgan’s care. I really appreciated how well Morgan looked after the plants too.

Indira

Indira was a WONDERFUL sitter! Very thoughtful, asked all the right questions. Our kitty was in very safe and loving hands while we were away—we could tell they got along swimmingly! Indira left our place in immaculate condition. We'd definitely have Indira sit for our fur baby any time!

Dorothy

Dorothy & Paul house and pet sat for us once before, but that was when we were in a rental house short-term. So, our home was new to them, and there are a lot of features to learn. We had one day overlapping before our vacation and they quickly learned about the idiosyncrasies of our home. They knew our pets and the pets clearly remembered them. Todd was very excited to greet them with a welcoming howl or two, and the cats both wanted to sit on laps and get petted at the same time. It was clear that the cats had been brushed regularly while we were away. Dorothy and Paul took Todd everywhere around the Cape, even when the weather wasn't the greatest for walking. He clearly had a fantastic week under their care. Similarly, the cats, Buddy and Holly, were very happy and relaxed with Dorothy and Paul in their home. And I received photos to see how happy they all were. Dorothy and Paul had to leave before we got home, but we were in regular communication to make sure the transition went smoothly and did not disturb the pets. They did a fabulous job in cleaning the house and many things were cleaner than we had left it for them. We would definitely not hesitate to have Dorothy and Paul house and pet sit for us again. They are a wonderful couple and very caring with our pets and our home.

Madeleine

You know it is going to be a great sit when the owner's notes ask you not to let the bird out because it will "escape, knock over a bank and take hostages".

Maddy and Dave are lovely people, and provided a good set of instructions.

The dogs Bob and Stan are great company, and the birds are easy to care for.

The house is a pleasant 15 minute walk from restaurants, bars and 3 bus lines.

Sherry

Sherry’s home is roomy, quiet, comfortable, and very clean! Simon and Symone are both adorable, super sweet, and really easy to care for. I had a really pleasant stay during her recent trip – I was pleased that both cats were happy to keep me company while I worked, read, or watched tv, and they eventually even slept on the bed with me. I will gladly stay at Sherry’s again, and I would recommend other pet sitters looking for a relaxing experience consider doing the same!

Amy

I am grateful to have been asked to sit with Trooper and Skipper for my first Trusted Housesitters experience.  They were such a delight! Trooper and Skipper had no difficulty adjusting to my presence, followed commands well, enjoyed attention and were genuinely fun to spend time with. Communication with Amy was easy and thorough. Amy took time to prepare a through Welcome Guide and to share information on local attractions/activities. If you are interested in sitting with 2 terrific dogs in a charming, small southern town, I highly recommend applying.

STEPHANIE

You cannot ask for a nicer home and pet sit than this one. The new kitten, Pearl, is a delight. She's growing so fast though, that I feel very fortunate to have stayed here when she was so young, sweet and playful. Iris is more solitary...she keeps mostly to herself, but was very low maintenance. The house is quite palatial, in beautiful West Vancouver with stunning ocean views. Stephanie was very easy to communicate with, and everything went smoothly. I would happily sit again for Stephanie and her family.

Amy

It was great from the very beginning.
Louie and Luna are so adorable, they love to play and are grateful for all the time you spend with them and in return shower you with a lot of love.
The peaceful area was ideal for taking walks and playing with them in the wide green fields, while everything I needed was around the house: grocery stores, a great coffee shop, a bar, as well as a library where I can work.
The house is well-designed and well-equipped, my room was great with an extremely comfortable bed.

I enjoyed my stay very much, my time there flew by, and now I miss them :-) It would be a pleasure to return.
Thank you Amy and Elliot, I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Kathryn

Eddie is a sweet ol’ boy! Scout is an absolute darling. Had a great time with these babies.
