Pet Sitters in Forest Glen, MD

Serene & Misha

Serene and Misha were communicative, kind, and very responsible. My cat Jef was so content when I got back, and the place was sparkling clean. I would recommend them highly and would love to have them back again!

Rebekah & Brian

I don’t know when Rebekah left my house but she was gone when I arrived home so I haven’t met her. The cat litter boxes were so full the cats had been forced to use rugs and the floor. The cat bowls were full of food which was consequently scattered and had to be thrown out as saliva all over it can cause disease if it’s left to be eaten up. There were several dead plants and the pots were bone dry. There was mail left in the mail box. The he pool had not been topped up with water so the filter had stopped and was clogged with debris. My pool service man had left a reminder on Tuesday to fill the pool but the level was below the tiles. My notes had obviously not been read. It was very hot in Central Florida this week but none of this should have happened with care. I don’t have 6 cats, I have 2. No dog to walk. I have pool and lawn service. I spent Mother’s Day washing floors and laundering rugs, watering gasping plants and dealing with the pool, all after after a very long day’s journey from South America.

Jocelyn Macurdy Keatts & Connor

Jocelyn and Connor were amazing sitters, great communication, arrived early to settle in and meet the dogs and very self sufficient while I was away. They even had to deal with a leaking bath. Dogs have spent the last couple of days missing them and they have clearly been well cared for and looked after. Would highly recommend and would definitely have them back if the opportunity arose.

Laura

Laura is quite an awesome lady! We hung out the evening before my trip and had a blast getting to know each other. She took wonderful care of our two pups and our home while we were away, sending lots of pics and checking in as needed. We came home to happy pups and a very clean home. I will definitely be inviting Laura back for future stays.

RT

RT was great to communicate with, kept me posted about Ananda, and helped coordinate logistics during my extended time away. Definitely recommend!

Celeste

5 stars all around, celeste was a perfect sitter for Sherlock! She provided regular updates/cute daily videos, and was so thoughtful in making sure that he was cared for and loved while I was away. It seemed like he warmed up to her very quickly. I would happily have her back any time.

Sapphyra

Aspen enjoyed her time with Sapphyra and Santana. They were communicative and flexible around our travel plans and they left the house tidy and clean.

Tina

Tina and Lillian were wonderful to have stay in our home and care for Ziggy. They were very communicative and shared great photos of their adventures with Ziggy. They took exceptional care of our home and we came back to a house that was just as clean and tidy as it was when we left for our trip. Ziggy was happy and at ease. Thank you!!

Kat

Kat was an exceptional house and pet sitter. My giant mutt can be a handful, and Kat made the effort to get to know her and bond with her. She is thoughtful, and obviously loves getting to know pets. She was a great communicator and also took excellent care of my home, leaving it in better shape than I left it. I recommend her without hesitation!

María Isabel

Maria was amazing. From the beginning to end, I could not say more good things. She took care of my babies and house as it was her own. I definitely recommend and would have her again. Gracias mi amor!!!

Annette

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Annette and her daughter Claire were great! They clearly enjoyed the cats, were tidy and careful, and they rolled with the punches when I showed up home earlier than they'd expected (my fault, I usually text to let people know my ETA but I was in an area with bad connection and didn't notice the message had failed to send) they just dealt with it cheerfully. I'd be very happy to have them back any time they're in the area!

Christine

Christine has sat our dog twice, and has been the best sitter we've ever had. She's a true dog lover and they love her right back. She gave Stevie a toy that is still his favorite! She sent us the most beautiful photos and videos of our dog - I still can't quite believe she took them on her cell phone - and kept us posted with detailed descriptions of all his comings and goings. Last time Christine left us a delicious bottle of Pinot Noir; this time she even took Stevie to a family gathering of hers, and he had a great time. She even picked him up! We had zero worries while he was with her - we knew it was a treat for him. I can't praise Christine enough - any pet owner would be lucky to have her!

Jacquie

Everything was perfect! Very nice family, lovely pets and beautiful home, in a quiet neighborhood. Wonderful walks with Gary and Lexi enjoying the little river near the house. Kevin was a bit shy at the beginning but then we could have fun playing with him.

David

David and Jen were incredibly welcoming. Communication was great from the start. Upon arrival we were greeted by the energetic Goose who was absolutely adorable. Noodles the Cat was a character who kept us laughing the whole time. Gnocchi and Birdie were quiet but  very sweet. The pets are easy to care for and so much fun to play with. Goose was a great boy and enjoyed the dog park as well as the tiki bar and coffee shop with us. The house is in a great location, surrounded by nature, and a short drive away from lots of restaurants and bars. We enjoyed the pool at home, as well as a short day trip to Key West. We can’t thank Jen and David enough for sharing their amazing pets and home with us!

Ivana

Ivana’s home is a bright and peaceful, on the 6th floor has one of the best view in Sydhavn, a new trendy part of Copenhagen by the water. You can swim in front of the building.
It was our first time with bunnies, we had such a wonderful time in their company, every day so much fun and joy. They are happy creatures, always excited about cuddling, playtime and off course carrots!
Everything in Ivana’s place is very clean and well organised, especially with the rabbit food she prepared in portions for all days of our stay, making everything so easy for us. 
She gives clear instructions and is always in touch for any questions.
A peaceful home full of serenity.

Kathryn

Kathryn was exceptionally responsive and made sure that we had everything that we needed for a successful sit. The one thing that I would recommend for future sits is a more refined Welcome Guide, but for the first time, Kathryn did a great job of informing us of what we needed to know!

Adrienne

Absolutely loved meeting and hanging out with Henry and Lily. Lily warmed up to us faster than expected and gave us the occasional cuddle. Henry was super polite and we loved spending our time with him.

Barry

We had an incredible long weekend in beautiful Somerset looking after Alfie and Lara! Alfie and Lara are the most beautiful, well-trained and easiest dogs we have ever looked after- gorgeous Welsh Spaniels who just love cuddles!! Both dogs were perfectly fine walking, wonderful in the car (many naps haha) and always responded on our commands. We took them for an 8 hour day trip around Somerset and were wonderful companions, no problems whatsoever. 

Barry and Jarrod's home is truly special- a 500+ year old home in rural Somerset. Everything was perfect and made our stay so enjoyable, we really didn't want to leave! Barry and Jarrod prepared a great handover for us when we arrived and overall amazing hosts, couldn't recommend more! 

We are so glad we had the opportunity to look after gorgeous Alfie and Lara and hope to be back soon!
