Dog Sitters in Fort George G Meade, MD

Sonja and Adam are amongst our favorite sitters. They were timely, easy to communicate with, sent updates, and left our apartment spotless. Our dog is a 65 pound German Shepherd/Pit mix. She's an absolute love bug, but has some dog leash aggression that can be difficult to handle in our busy neighborhood. I always like to mention this in a review in case someone has a similar dog, so you know that Sonja and Adam handled her like a dream. They're welcome back any time!

This is our third time inviting Jen to sit for us. Our babies love her. She spends so much time with them and is great at keeping us updated daily, including pictures. We know we have nothing to worry about when we leave as they are well loved in our absence.

Amanda house and cat sitted for us for two weeks over the holidays and we would highly recommend her. She’s friendly, has excellent communication and left our cats and house both healthy and happy. She went above and beyond navigating the arrival of holiday packages we didn’t anticipate as well as misdelivered ones intended for our next door neighbors. Would recommend 10/10!

Pros: Brandi was a very nice person. I came home to my kitty and she was all good. She was flexible with her dates. Cons: Brandi stated she left August 11th but the video shows her leaving on the 10th, so she was dishonest. She mention my cat food having bugs in them so she threw out a whole half bag of hard food. My apartment is kept very tidy, theee only reason flies come out is if fruit is left out and she must have left food or something out that attracted the bugs. We originally discussed her only house sitting a month so she could allow client's from peer space in the apartment and sell off or receive furniture. I was lucky enough that she agreed to sit for meadow as well. My gut told me to hold off on peer space because I was getting good cell service at my silent retreat. I'm so so so so glad I did after seeing how she left my apartment floors and bathroom. She would of had to clean up after each peer space and I feel clients would have not been happy with the cleanliness. I don't even have living room furniture yet, just boxes so it should have been a breeze to sweep, vacuum, mop. There's plenty of cleaning rags and cleaners. I have white floors and she must have used dirty mop water all throughout the floor. Dirty streaks and foot prints all over the floor. She left the dirty mop water with the mop in it right in the living room. When mopping a bug place like mine you at least need to change the water four to six times. There was cereal left out and open. Cat food was left open on the counter. Water bowl didn't look clean, full of fur on top. Cereal crumbs on the floor. Coffee bean sprinkles on the cabinets. I usually leave my dishwasher cracked. She must have closed it shut and never opened it ever....because four wooden pieces inside molded over. It was full of clean dishes, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Her hair products on the sink. Empty raw sugar box left in cabinet. Bathroom: sink was sticky, toilet had poop stains (smh I had to clean), and my precious bath tub was filthy. There was black specks in it and I had to wash it four times at least before soaking. I looked forward to coming home and relaxing but I cleaned 3-4 hours. I didn't except her to leave it immaculate however this was more than just touching up for me. There were multiple finger and hand prints on the walls from make up and whatever else was on her hands. This was in my hallway, bedroom, and bathroom. Bedroom: bedroom was ok, some cereal crumbs on the bed and under but nothing major. The bedding was left in the dryer, which was ok but it smelled odd so I re washed it. Two weeks in and she sent a few photos but definitely not daily. Also, two weeks in I became pretty sick and needed to come home to go to the doctor for a few days. I offered to sleep in the living room but her dad lived close by so I guess she said shed make other arrangements so she would have gone there possibly. A day later she requested to end the stay early, which was fine yet very inconvenient. I ended up going to emergency room upstate. She was patient with me and I decided not to travel back home while sick so we agreed on the 11th. She kept mentioning that I could come back earlier if I wanted to. I guess maybe the train sound got to her. I had a feeling she left early, but the video confirmed it. Not sure why she would think that I wouldn't verify. The cameras are visible outside my door.

Mary was wonderful throughout the week, even though my complicated TV system never worked for her. She never complained once! She kept my plants watered, fed my birds, and ensured my Cavalier was happy and spoiled. She was truly amazing!

When we met Orion for the first time, we liked that they were genuinely eager and excited to spend time with our cats. When they came by the house to pick up the key, we showed them around, gave additional instructions, and asked them several times if they had any questions or needed to know about anything else. They confirmed they were fine. However, upon our return, we discovered that some of our instructions were not followed. We told them that we preferred the cats to only go out once a day and that they needed to be back in before sunset because of the coyotes. There is a cat door that has different settings to let them in/out, out only, in only. They left the cat door in/out which was noticeable upon our return because we came home at 8pm and both cats were still outside. In terms of tidiness, we think they did a decent job with cleaning up after themselves, but we were a bit taken aback seeing leftover food in the fridge and having to take out their trash. They also left something at our place, which they later picked up. In terms of communication, we think it was a little bit difficult. There were a few times we asked them a question or stated a preference, and they would not respond or answer our question. It made us confused, like perhaps we miscommunicated or they misunderstood us, but we would not receive an answer. Overall, though, Orion genuinely seemed to enjoy the company of our cats, and for this we appreciate. On the other hand, we’ve learned that we will need to outline all of our expectations in written form for future house sitters and make sure that the sitters understand and agree to them because we didn't feel understood during this house sit.

Chris and Alex were wonderful. They were attentive, responsive, responsible, showered Whiskey with attention, and took her on adventures. We highly recommend Chris and Alex and would have them back in a heartbeat.

Anne was wonderful to work with. She responded to all my communication promptly She was flexible and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her!

Patty was wonderful! She cared so well for Alia, sent photos and regular updates, and is frankly just a joy to be around and work with. I am grateful to have had the chance to connect with her. Patty, if you ever want to return to Asheville please let me know!

Rachel did a wonderful job watching our home and 2 dogs! Very trustworthy, responsible, and communicative! We would have her back anytime!

Sofia was an incredibly caring, clean, and communicative pet sitter. My dogs did great with her and she kept the home nice and tidy while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Kriszta and Luz were very conscientious and left the house in the best shape of any pet sitter. I highly recommend them!
