Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.

I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.

Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!

Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.

After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Ann
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Hannah & Dominic
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!

If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.

Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .

We had a wonderful experience using Your Pet AuPair for our wedding. Nicole was so flexible and responsive throughout the whole process. She came out to meet our dogs beforehand which put me at ease. She took great care of our pups and got them to our venue for pictures with all their wedding attire, and then safely back home and settled in. It was one of the highlights of our day seeing them and we were able to get pictures that we will cherish forever. She even got a picture of us with the dogs! I highly recommend.
We absolutely love Your Pet AuPair! We have been clients for almost 2 years and we feel so happy with our experience. Nicole and her team are excellent communicators and provide so much care and peace of mind whenever we are away. The client portal is such a fun tool to use and we love our daily journal updates and photos of our pets! There have been a few times when a cat was sick and we had some last-minute changes, and Nicole was always happy to accommodate and make sure everything went smoothly. We love all of our sitters and highly recommend this company if you're local to the Bel Air and surrounding areas!
Nicole and her team are incredibly kind, caring, and attentive to our 2 dogs, Maddie and Omar, and our cat, Ruth. I never have to worry about anything when booking through Your Pet Au Pair. The website is easy to use, and the rates are very good. Would recommend to anyone in the area who needs pet care.
Nicole and her staff are wonderful. We have never had an issue scheduling or tweaking schedules if needed. Our dog is pretty high energy, yet she and her staff seem to handle him well. He looks forward to his walks, and is a much better behaved dog when he gets his exercise. I would recommend Your Pet AuPair for any of your dog walking needs (....i'd bet pet sitting wouldn't be any different).
Your Pet AuPair is really a top notch dog walking service. We have a reactive dog that the walkers handle well! I appreciate all of the updates and pictures we get after the walk! All of the walkers at Your Pet AuPair do a wonderful job, are professional, and most of all genuinely care about our pets! Definitely recommend this company.
Nicole was absolutely amazing, professional, and timely when caring for our dog, Crush, on our wedding day. A few weeks before the wedding, Nicole came to meet Crush and really spent time getting to know him and his routine. I would highly recommend her for your wedding day pet care! (She’s even a great photographer, and discreetly snapped the cutest photo of us!)
I am very happy with the dog walking service from Your Pet AuPair. The walkers are very professional and very involved with Storm, my dog, during his time with them. I trust them completely. I highly recommend Your Pet AuPair. Check them out online as they offer several pet services !
Our doggy Halo Loves her dog walkers!!! She gets so excited when they come to pick her up. They are all great with her. They take pics of their outting and give her water and/or treats if needed. Halo always comes back happy and flops down to relax after her outtings. Can't recommend Nicole and her team enough!!
Very glad we have found this service. Every team member that has come to walk my dog have been extremely kind, respectful and caring for him. I cant wait to keep using this service and introducing my puppy to more kind humans! Will continue to recommend to all friends in the Bel Air area.
Nicole and everyone at Your Pet Au Pair is fabulous. They are responsive and do a wonderful job tiring out our dog when our schedules are hectic. Thanks so much!

Our dog was well cared for. It was our first time boarding him and he felt very comfortable when I dropped him off. The staff/family were very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend them!
Barton Manor is the only place we will leave our dog, Charlie. After poor experiences with boarding at other venues (Charlie being placed in "timeout" and left in a crate for most of the day, UTI's or some other illness when we bring him home, etc.), Barton Manor's staff provides Charlie with the same love and attention that he would get at home. He's always excited when we get to Barton Manor and practically runs to the door to be let inside. Management is also incredibly flexible with pickup/drop off and understanding when plans change. We recently welcomed our first child into the world and Barton Manor allowed us to cancel/move our boarding appointment without any issues as well as pickup during off-hours due to unforeseen circumstances. Truly amazing ownership, staff, and care for your pet.
We love this Kennel. Our dogs love staying here as well. Everyone is super nice and polite. And they are very good with furry babies.
We love Barton Manor! Our dog Lilith has always come out happy, clean and healthy. We trust this family to always deliver top quality!
Barton Manor is the best thing we have ever found for our dogs. It is a true small business that is run by a great family with your dogs best interests in mind. We have never had a bad experience and our dogs always come home tired but relaxed. I will always and only use this place.
We love Barton! The facilities are top notch especially the location for the long nature walks. Cheri and her family take care of our big girl like she was their own. We feel safe leaving her in the care when she can't be with us.
First time boarding our almost 2 year mini golden doodle...they took great care of her! Very nice and caring.
Our go-to place for boarding our dogs. They come back happy, healthy and smelling great! Thank you for taking such good care of them!!
Used this place last summer it was our first time ever boarding our dog Zoey. Picked this place due to all the good reviews an we are glad we did. She did great. Have no complaints an will deff use them again if needed. But we don't ever need to board it's super rare. But when we do will be giving them a call.
We have boarded our dog at Barton Manor since 2014, and we could not be more thrilled by the Barton Family and the care our dog receives while staying with them. They are some of the kindest people. They treat our dog (and us!) like a member of their family. Their facilities are superior, and they are constantly making small improvements that only enhance the incredible care our dog receives (like constant temperature monitoring of the kennel spaces and a community play area). I trust them with our pup implicitly. Highly recommend!

Whittington pet sitting has always gone above and beyond with caring for our pup. I never feel worried about her care and love getting updates after each walk. Highly recommend them to anyone who wants their pet cared for with phenomenal quality service!
Jessica and her team are wonderful. We’ve availed of their service several times and we’re always satisfied every time. Shout out to Cheryl- she is amazing! Even though we have an anxious cat, she would try to still play with him and even checks on him under the bed or night stand where he hides when she comes. She would keep on trying and that warms my heart because Fredrik is scared, anxious and was traumatized when we adopted him so he doesn’t do well with other animals and other people. Cheryl would just keep her distance at the same time let him know she’s just there in case he wants to play. It makes me and my husband happy that we have wonderful people taking care of Fredrik while we are away. They send updates daily with pictures. 100% highly recommend Whittington Pet Sitting if you are in Harford County.
Whittington were so reliable they put our mind at ease when we went on vacation. Two of our pets needed medication and that was no problem. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies Diane and Charles Griffith
We loved our experience with Whittington! Our pets were loved and cared for. You get photos of your pets each day they visit as well as updates. You can request additional visits if you feel it is necessary. This was so much easier than wrangling our cats into carriers and boarding them and way less stressful for our cats.
Jessica and her team to such good care of my kids. Sending me updates and pictures so I felt like they were in good hands the whole time I was gone. Highly recommend them and I will be asking them to care for my kittens again for sure. These are pictures of my kittens that they took and sent to me.
We were very satisfied with our services and the daily communication while Jessica and her team cat sat for us. Our cat received attention, playtime, and pets but her personal space was also respected. We loved the pictures that were sent to us. All of our requests regarding caring for our cat and home were followed. We would definitely use them again for our next trip!
I cannot say enough good things about them. We have a very fearful dog and they’ve shown absolute expertise in working within his boundaries. After each visit, I get a message with photos and an easy to read visual to know which dog peed/poo’d, drank/ate and it’s so lovely seeing them happy and in good hands. I love that we can ask them to come 4 days a week if my husband is traveling or as little as 1-2x/month on long days. It’s so nice that they try and give consistency in who comes, but honestly I’d trust anyone Jessica Whittington has trained.
We had an excellent experience with Whittington Pet Sitting. One of our cats was newly put on twice daily medication right before we had a week-long trip scheduled, and we realized we needed professionals to step in. Jessica was very responsive, getting back to me the next day, and came out for an introductory meeting within a few days of our first contact. Thereafter, Emmaleigh provided fantastic care for both cats for the duration of our trip. We are glad to know that we have a reliable team we can trust to take care of our cats whenever needed!
Jess and her team truly care about your animals. They go above and beyond to treat your pets like family and work with whatever needs you may need. I highly recommend Whittington to anyone looking for care for their pets.
Whittington Pet Sitting was amazing from the first meet and greet and every day after that they cared for our cat. We received daily updates and photos which made us so comfortable leaving her in their care. 100% recommend.

We are a new client and Crystal most recently cared for our two golden retrievers overnight. She took amazing care of our dogs. All aspects from scheduling to payment were seamless and were coordinated with excellent communication. We also received incredible photos of our pups as well! Highly recommend and we will absolutely be using Pawsit Pet Services again! Thank you Crystal for taking us on as a new client!
Crystal is the best pet sitter we’ve ever worked with. She is trustworthy, and reliable. Whenever we are out of town we are sure our pets are in good hands. Crystal provides us with updates after each visit to help ease our minds. She also takes really beautiful professional pictures of our pets- which is a really nice touch. Crystal’s love of animals is apparent, and her professionalism is unmatched.
Crystal is soooo amazing We do not trust anybody else to watch our dog. It is so nice to go away and not have to worry one bit about our best friend. She is fantastic with him and sends pics and updates after every visit!!! Her prices are amazing as well. You cannot go wrong with Pawsit as your pet sitter, especially if you like not having to worry about your furry friend while you are away. I would give a million stars if i could.
Pawsit Pet Services (Crystal) has been caring for our 14 year old Lab for about 2 years & now is taking care of our 9 month old Golden puppy. We have zero complaints. Crystal is kind, thoughtful, responsible, and has grown to be a part of our family. Our dogs are insanely in-love with her! Her communication is outstanding and we would trust her with our lives. Thank you, Pawsit, for allowing us to work and go on vacations with peace of mind!
Crystal is the best pet sitter!! She is the only person I trust to take care of my dog! She is reliable, dependable, and really cares about your pet!! I highly recommend Crystal!! She has been taking care of my dog for years now!!
Crystal is our absolute favorite thing about moving to this area. We treat our dog like our family and so does she. She genuinely cares about his well being, understands that structure and consistency are everything with pets, and gives him plenty of love and attention when we are at work. Crystal really took the time to get to know our dog's personality and uses it to make sure he's happy, loved, and safe. I cannot say enough good things about her. I would recommend her to anyone who asked. She is super communicative, punctual, and genuinely caring. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We could never say enough amazing things about Crystal and how devoted she is to our pup. We found her right as we adopted our husky as new puppy and she has been able to be with him and watch him grow for the past two years now. Our pup loves her just as much as we do! Crystal always goes above and beyond to make sure that our dog, our home, our privacy, and our things are treated with care and respect. She has so many times stayed longer with our dog than necessary in the event that he had an accident, got sick, or something out of the ordinary happened. She is in CONSTANT communication with us and gives really excellent visual reports on how her time with your pet has gone. She even does little things like bringing in mail and sending us homemade treats (which our dog LOVES). She will treat your pet and your home like her own. We don't know what we would do without her!
Crystal takes extra time with my Great Dane and his guard dog instincts. She is patient while he warms up, and has him sitting in her lap by the end of every visit! She just knows animals. I never worry when we leave our boy with her. She’s professional, responsive, and flexible. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our boy!
Crystal was amazing! I knew my 2 cats were in good hands while we were away. She updated us after each visit and sent awesome pictures! I will definitely be using her services again in the future. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable petsitting in Harford county!
Crystal has been a true asset to our little guy. Simba is a 13 year old Jack Russel Chihuahua mix and needs a little extra attention when my wife and I are working long days. We are so happy with our experience and can't recommend Crystal enough!
