Cat Sitters in College Park, VA

Shane

Shane & Monika were great! Communicative, clean, & we knew our animals were in good hands while we were away. Thanks so much!

Doris & Dustin

Doris and Dustin were absolutely amazing. It was so reassuring knowing that Gigi and Karma were in kind, safe and reliable hands. They sent pictures and updates daily and checked in to clarify things when they had any questions. They left the house in immaculate condition. I would not hesitate to have them come and sit again. I really hope they enjoyed their stay visiting family. Thank you both so much! Matthew, Gigi and Karma :-)

Jeff

Jeff & Susana are the perfect Pet & House Sitters. We had great pre-trip communications, were able to meet in person, and received occasional updates on Luna. The home was very clean and orderly upon our return. Luna was calm and obviously well loved in our absence. We hope Jeff & Susana are available and traveling our way the next time we’re out of town.

Elise

Elise took such great care of my two cats! We were able to meet in person before and my cats immediately took to her. She provided frequent updates and pictures, and left my apartment clean and tidy. I’m looking forward to Elise and Sachin sitting for me again and would definitely recommend them for your house sitting needs.

Bethel

This was the second time we happily welcomed back Bethel to cat sit for us, and she did an amazing job. She is super organized, reliable and the cats were relaxed and happy when we returned. Bethel was happy to accommodate things as they came up, helping us with packages, deliveries, and even doing a great job watering our houseplants and backyard. Thanks so much to Bethel! We hope to have her back in the future.

Gretchen

This was the second time I’ve had Gretchen watch my 3 cats and home. Her calm temperament is well suited to my 2 semi-socialized, previously feral cats. My indoor cat also loves pampering from Gretchen. Besides cat tending, Gretchen was tasked with a list of outside duties which included keeping bird feeders stocked, squirrels in peanuts, water stations filled, decks and fish pond clear of leaves and debris. She was in frequent communication, and kept me abreast of kitty activities. I will be inviting Gretchen back to sit in the future!

Linda

Linda and Jon were excellent, very reliable and left the place in great shape, thank you for the wonderful sit!

Morgan

Couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Morgan is an extremely kind human who we hope to have pet and house sit for us again some day. Our dogs adored her and we loved the daily update photos she sent us of their adventures while we were on our trip. Morgan was prompt, organized, and asked great follow up questions in order to be prepared for her sit. Our house was left spotlessly cleaned upon our return and the dogs were in very good spirits. A+ sitter. Thanks again, Morgan!

Rocky

Rocky took great care of our house and the kitties.

Clare

Claire was perfect. She communicated well. Was on time, responsible and caring. There was a PGE outage while she was there and she made sure everything went well. We appreciated her so much and would welcome her back anytime

Jackson

Jackson left my place really clean! I was confident based on his employer he'd be super responsible, and he didn't disappoint. So I'd have him sit again. The pup seemed happy, too. The

Rebecca & James

What to even say about Rebecca and James and their kids! These guys were AWESOME. I had a few applications for this sit and debated briefly whether to have just a single person come sit, versus the family, given it's a bit more work to get things ready for the whole house to be used -- but I definitely made the right decision. My sons and husband all commented how great they were - easy, practical, communicative. Our dog was super lucky to have so many doting fans. She got to go hiking and to the coast, in cars and on ferries. I'm pretty sure she has been bored since we got back. Rebecca's family made our departure and return super smooth. They put clean sheets on all the beds, left us delicious poppy seed muffins and a very clean house! Wonderful guests to have- we are so grateful and happy they drove across the country to make our place their home base for a week! We'd absolutely welcome them back!

Lisa

Dean & Karen were fantastic sitters. They travelled a long way to do our sit and we were very grateful. The dogs absolutely loved them. Couldn't ask for any more - highly recommend and would be welcome back any time. Thank you so much.

Xander

Once again, Rafael and Afaf took such good care of my babies. They made sure to wash all the sheets and towels before leaving. They left the house super clean and organized. The kittens were all in a happy mood after spending 5 days with their favorite sitters.

Highly recommend them for anyone who are looking for peace of mind when travelling and for those who love getting tons of updates.

Thanks again to the 2 of you. You are welcome again anytime you want.
