Dog Sitters in Ijamsville, MD

Amanda was great and I will definitely have her watch Clyde again if our schedules align. She provided updates on how things were going and sent some fun photographs of the 2 of them walking. The house was clean when we arrived back home and Clyde was a happy boy.

Taylor was so energetic and a very thoughtful young lady. Our three hundred pounds of dogs fell in love with her and I fear the love might be everlasting. My husband commented that the dogs seemed indifferent to our arrival home and we suspect that we are no where near as entertaining as lovely Taylor. We would love to have her return and I know our larger brood of animals would welcome her back enthusiastically. She is a top star ⭐✨ sitter!

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.

Eric and Elena were amazing. They are both lovely, intelligent and responsible people who cared very much for my cat. I returned to find my home and my cat in wonderful shape. You will be very lucky to meet them.

Ogun was an amazing pet sitter! He watched our house for over two weeks while my family was on vacation. He was independent, trustworthy, communicated well, and punctual. He sent updates of the pets throughout our trip and even nursed our sick goldfish back to health. My nosey neighbors sent me a picture of him walking my dog. My pets were happy when we returned and the house was spotless. I highly recommend Ogun if you want peace of mind while you are away.

Alicia was a wonderful pet-sitter for our dog, Lottie, and for our daughter’s fish, Lychee! She was in touch with us daily with photos of Lottie, sometimes accompanied by her friendly lab Mitch, and even sent a video of Lychee, which our daughter appreciated. We felt so comfortable with the care and attention paid to Lottie and would definitely welcome Alicia again! As a house sitter, Alicia was amazing as well. After our week away, we returned to our house and found it in the same condition we had left it (if not a little cleaner…). During our time away, the remnants of hurricane Debby passed through our area. We were worried about how the storms would impact Alicia’s stay, but she kept us up to date, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation in a way that would not have been possible without her there. Overall, Alicia was amazing and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Our sitters were very helpful, tidy and self sufficient. Thank you

Magda was organized, quick to reply to messages, and accommodating with plans. She arrived early so that we could spend time providing details of the sit and so that our dog Myers could see us with her. She was very self-sufficient during the stay and left the house neat and tidy. I'd recommend Magda and would use her to sit Myers again.

Jennifer house-sat for us for a long weekend. We came back to a spotless home and happy dog. Jennifer was responsive, communicative, and friendly. Thank you Jennifer!

Elena was a fantastic sitter for our cat and dog! When we had our introduction video call before the sit, I immediately felt comfortable and knew they would be in safe hands thanks to her thorough questions. Elena was very sensitive to our specific instructions and pets' needs, and very communicative before and throughout the stay. Both our cat and dog were immediately very comfortable, rare for our cat especially. She took great care of our home and was also very patient and gracious with us when we ended up arriving home earlier. We would absolutely invite Elena back and highly recommend her for future sits!

Jenny was a fantastic housesitter! From the jump she was communicative, cordial, and accommodating. She sent regular updates about my cat. When I arrived back home, she'd left the place spotless. Toots seemed very much to enjoy her company. I'd recommend Jenny to anyone looking for pet care.

Priscilla recently sat for my dog, Birdie. She was an excellent sitter. We connected with a phone call ahead of time and discussed Birdie’s needs and the time frame I needed her to come to sit. Priscilla was truly interested in my dog and what the expectations were for the sit. On the day of the sit, Priscilla let me know what time she would arrive and arranged her schedule so that she could give Birdie her full attention. I was only gone for one night, but Priscilla took Birdie on several walks and rearranged her schedule so that she could stay a little later so that Birdie wouldn’t be alone for long before I returned. The place looked great when I got back and Birdie seemed to have had a great time with Priscilla. Priscilla has a lovely, positive attitude toward people and pets and life in general. She was fun to talk to and took care of my Birdie and my home and I would have her back anytime. You will not regret letting Priscilla take care of your fur-baby!
