Dog Sitters in Jessup, MD

Maya took better care of my home and cat than I do! I was so happy to come home to a sparkling clean home and a groomed (!!) and happy kitty. I would gladly have Maya stay again anytime.

This is the 3rd time Ashley has sit for us and is a dream sitter. She's great with our dog, Pepper, and takes better care of her and our home than we probably do. She's a phenomenal communicator and is always reliable. Can't say enough good things about Ashley and are super grateful for everything. She's also just a great human and you would be lucky to have her care for your home and/or animals!

I was really hoping for a smooth experience with Duncan's pet care, and while Duncan seems like a nice person, there were several issues when I returned home that I feel need to be addressed. First, I explicitly stated that I did not want guests in my home, but my neighbor—who, while being a bit nosey, is generally helpful—mentioned that Duncan had someone over without my knowledge. This was quite concerning, as respecting my home and rules is important to me. Secondly, the cleanliness of the kitchen was not up to par. When I returned, I found sticky substances on the counters, around the sink, and residue left on the stove. Additionally, two pots stored in the cabinet were stained with what appeared to be the same food residue that was on the stove – one was my cast iron skillet. Cleanliness is a basic expectation when providing care, and this left me disappointed. The most disturbing issue, however, was the handling of the litter box. I had to throw away my broom and dustpan because they had been used to clean up cat waste that didn’t make it into the LitterBot because it was stuck in a cycle. It was clear that one of my cats was forced to relieve themselves outside of the litter box, and the way this was dealt with was unacceptable. Finally, Duncan notified me of a broken doorknob, which I had to report to maintenance. I later found out that it appeared to have been pulled off rather than being worn down by normal use as I assumed when I received the text. While I’m not sure how this happened, it was just another frustrating issue on top of everything else. I'm generally not picky and try to be understanding, but these problems left me disappointed with the care provided. I hope Duncan takes this feedback constructively and improves these areas for future clients.

Erica and Darren have been on both ends of zeewoi-- as housesitters and as people who invited housesitters to their home. This made me and my husband feel especially at ease with them, and it's clear our cat felt the same way! They were communicative and left our tidy tidy. Come back to Charlottesville anytime!

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.

Rebecca and Will were very pleasant, timely, great communicators and very self sufficient. Most importantly they had great sense about animals including one of our large breed dogs who can be somewhat slow to warm up to strangers.

Koryn was a great housesitter! She was easy to communicate with leading up to her stay, and she came over for a few minutes before we left to get a tour. During her stay, she provided a few updates as we asked, and she left the house extremely clean and tidy. We felt very comfortable leaving our house and cat with her. Highly recommend!

Matt has been a housesitter for me and Freddie multiple times. He’s exceptional - takes good care of the place and my little guy, gives me updates when needed but is tremendously self sufficient. When I got home, as always, Matt left my place spotless and my little guy was there waiting, happy and ready to see me.

Lee was terrific,I loved her company the night she stayed before my trip. I knew she would settle and love the dogs. Lee sent me pictures and messaged me regularly. On my return the apartment was beautifully tidy all in all a truly wonderful experience. Thank you trusted house and pet sitters and a big thank you to Lee

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!

Marisa was an excellent pet sitter and I couldn't be happier with her care of my cat - in fact, he may be a bit spoiled now by all of the attention he received. She came over the night before the sit to meet Kenji and learn how things work, and I could tell as soon as she met him that Kenji would be very happy with her! Marisa sent texts and photos so I could see how he was doing, and I came home to a very happy kitty. I highly recommend Marisa as a pet sitter, and I would be very happy to have her stay with Kenji again.

Diane and Al have graced my home with their thoughtfulness and care! It was lovely that we got to meet before I left for a couple of weeks because these are two very special folks. I think Emma is missing them... The garden was watered and abundant when I returned, and there was a little stone path made to the entrance that was just cobbled (excuse the pun!) together before I left, that is now a artfully laid stone path. Al even noticed a funky spot on my kitchen windowsill and made a quick fix before the rain came! The house was clean, linens cleaned and bed made. I truly couldn't have asked for more!! I think they loved the area so it is quite likely they will want to come back and I would very much welcome them again!
