Pet Sitters in Dorsey, MD

Janna

Janna was terrific. We met over zoom as she was coming from Baltimore, and everything went smoothly. We found her to be extremely reliable, responsible, friendly, respectful, and easygoing. Best of all was that she left us a beautiful small portrait of Echo and Juliette which we are going to frame and hang on the wall. A really nice person and clearly an expert cat-sitter.

Jennifer

Jennifer is amazing. We couldn't imagine better for our cat and our home. She took great care of our pet in our absence. We heard from her every day by photo and video. Our cat was treated like a little prince and loved Jennifer. We found our house clean and tidy, Jennifer took good care of it. She was super organized. More than adorable, attentive and caring, she's the ideal person if you're looking for a petsitter. Our only regret: not having her at home for every trip. Thank you so much !

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

Margo & Dennis

Margot and Dennis were wonderful house and cat sitters. They quickly bonded with our two kitties and provided them with lots of love and attention while we were away. They provided regular updates and photos. Margot & Dennis are a lovely couple who took great care of our home. I recommend them and would consider them again for future housesits.

Stella

They took excellent care of our home and our pets while we were away for a couple days. I'd highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable house/pet sitter.

Naghmeh

Naghmeh watched our house and senior Siamese cat for a week over New Years! We met over video chat and we got a great feeling immediately. She was very communicative, sent regular photos and videos, and left the house very clean and tidy. Will definitely reach out for future sits. Thank you!!

Rachel

Rachel was one of our favorite sitters! I was a little concerned as the communication wasnt the best prior to the sit (long delays in responding). She had Shannon over a few days and her best friend on different days. We permitted it after meeting them, and trusting her. She was good about letting us know when something was wrong or broken. She also did a lot of changing things around in our home to accommodate what was desired. I understand as there was a bit of clutter in places. However, things were not always put back where they were and we have struggled to find several things. In some instances, the place looked better! Rachel was easy going and friendly. She graciously accommodated our needs for flexibility in the travel times. The animals all seemed happy and well so that meant the most! And she sent pics as requested! If she lived closer, she’s the kind of woman I could hang out with! With all this said, We would love to have her and Shannon back for a future sit, and the animals would be delighted too!

Anne

Anne had texted me upon her arrival and sent me a pic of Tesla. She communicated daily with a picture, in which I could see Tesla was very happy. Upon my return Tesla was very content. The house was very clean, neat and Anne took it upon her self to do the laundry of the sheets and towels!!! She even replaced the fresh flowers! I would love to have her sit any time.

Liz

We had almost decided on another housesitter for a recent family vacation when we got a message from Liz, who travels with her dog Buster. Our dogs love other dogs and we thought the addition of a play pal would really help ease any anxiety they had in our absence, even though there’s always a little concern with adding another dog in the mix we decided it was worth a shot and boy did it work out swimmingly! We have always felt that our dogs have been well taken care of with TH, but this is the first time we’ve been away and had daily professional photographic documentation that they were also having mega FUN in our absence! Liz took all the pups out on 3mi minimum hikes every day and facilitated a ton of play and cuddle time at home. I think our girls both fell in love with sweet Buster, he’s 11 so totally mellow and even keeled- he got along perfectly with both Reaux who loves to rough house and Cece who is a lot more mellow. His stint here may help me convince my husband we need another dog! It was a real treat for us to get to travel without any of the usual anxiety that the dogs weren’t getting enough exercise or play time- we are pretty active and they are used to being tired/happy all the time so it’s usually our biggest concern. Liz took such great care of our home and property through two winter storms with several inches of snow, and successfully finished off a 30 course of antibiotics with both of our dogs. We had a little bit of a hectic exit from the house to leave for our trip and she was so sweet to even fold a load of laundry we had in the dryer and take care of a few other loose ends- really above and beyond! As usual with TH- our home was in gorgeous condition when we returned and we couldn’t be more grateful for the respect and attention paid. Thanks Liz for all the love you showed our dogs and our home! And especially for the incredible pics- they were such a treat. Wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Liz and Buster to anyone looking for a great house sitter and dog buddy combo! We’re so thrilled with how well things went we will actively seek out other TH sitters traveling with their pets in the future. 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hope to see you guys again some time! Love, Laura & John, Cece & Reaux

Lisabeth & Nahomy

We invited Lisabeth and Nahomy a third time for taking care of our pet dog Moose and housesitting, and they were fantastic, as usual! They stayed for 2 weeks, and while this was the longest time we’ve been away from our Moose, our anxieties were lifted knowing he’d be in good hands. We received daily videos/photos of Moose’s adventures with the two of them, and we could tell Moose was so happy and taken cared of. Since it was a longer stay, they also gave us a more detailed update halfway through the stay on Moose’s routine, behavior, appetite, and meds. Moose’s diet had changed slightly from their last stay, and they had no problem adapting for us/Moose. We really appreciate the thoroughness and great communication that Lisabeth/Nahomy give. Additionally, our house was well taken cared of and very clean when we got back. Lisabeth/Nahomy are very tidy, organized, and dependable. During their stay, they were able to bring in our mail/packages and took care of any dishes/trash from their stay. We and Moose are lucky to have Lisabeth and Nahomy, and we highly recommend them as your next house/petsitter!

Roxann

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

Erline

Erline was such an absolute pleasure to have stay while we were traveling. She was so sweet to the cats and responsive, sending photos, etc., each day. The house was spotless when we got back (and thank you for the flowers!) and we'd love to have her back anytime to housesit again. Could not recommend her more highly!!

Jenna

Robert and Florence were very accommodating, friendly, and thorough. They took great care of our fur babies and home. We would love to have them sit for us again :)

Elizabeth

Liz and her well loved dog were awesome. Boo boo is the sweetest dog. He loves to cuddle. Liz's home was so beautiful right on the water, calm and peaceful. I believe it was Boo boos first time without his family and he did great.  I recommend this sit

Julia

We had a lovely time at Julia's country home. It was cosy, well equipped and stylishly furnished. Molly was a joy to care for and welcomed our dog, Tess, into their home. The weather wasn't in our favour, sadly, but the dogs didn't seem to mind too much. We would absolutely sit for Julia again.

Krista

Such a happy and playful pup ! Looking forward to my next sit here. Owners were very friendly.

Richard

Richard was very welcoming,  I met with him and Billy before I sat as I wanted to be sure I could handle Billy. 
Billy is adorable , the softest boy ever , he was great to walk with on the beach always waiting for me and checking I was behind him. 
He enjoyed cuddles in the evening and was great company .
I enjoyed my stay and would be happy to return

Alison

Despite a deluge of wet weather Kate and I enjoyed the house and trips around the local grounds very much.  Ed is very sweet and an easy dog to look after.  Alison and Jim are lovely and very communicative hosts. The house is cozy and warm.  Hope to see you again some time in the future.
