Cat Sitters in Kettering, MD

Judy

Judy is clearly a pro at being a housesitter. She was super communicative and sent us frequent pictures. She kept our home tidy and took great care of Lola. In fact, on a last-minute notice, she was even able to stay an extra night due to a disruption in our travel plans. Five stars all around.

Armando

Armando is a charming young man who cared for our home and Little Monster. He kindly agreed to sleep in the single room for his short stay to avoid us having to change linens, etc., on the morning we were leaving, which was very much appreciated. We had a lovely meal out the evening that he arrived. His caring nature filled us with confidence to leave him in our home with our precious LM. Little Monster was delighted to share his bed with Armando. He was very chilled on our return, but he concerned Armando by staying out much later than usual. Armando did the right thing and checked if this was normal. We received regular photos and updates. LM and ourselves highly recommend Armando. It was his first sit, but he is a natural and handled our requests for LM and the Hogs. We hope to welcome him back again in the future.

Sarit & Josh

Sarit kept in contact with me prior to the visit with great questions. She was very thorough! We communicated via Whatsapp while I was away. It worked out perfectly since I was in another country and didn't have service. She sent pictures letting us know our pets were cared for. She sent questions when necessary. We came home to a clean house, as we left it. 10/10! Would use again 😀

Piper

I could not recommend Piper more. She was a truly wonderful sitter - incredibly conscientious, reliable, thoughtful, and above all super sweet and caring with both our dogs. I didn't worry for a moment while we were away, knowing that the pups were in such competent hands. Honestly... Piper was a gift. She's an exceptional sitter and a truly lovely person. We feel lucky to have connected with her.

Sana

Sana was an extremely kind and communicative sitter for our dog and two cats, and she took excellent care of our home. She was clean and respectful, and she dealt with some personal minor inconveniences during her stay with patience and grace. We could tell that our dog and cats got along well with her, and hopefully they get to see her again! She is highly recommended.

Kenneth & Justine

Justine and JR were fantastic pet sitters! Both of them AND Joy took such great care of our pets while we were away. We had the pleasure of eating dinner with them before we left and we had such a great time chatting with them! They were tremendously helpful and caring. Joy is an absolute delight and my boys loved playing with her in the backyard. Nothing short of a 5 star experience and I hope to see them again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beverly

Beverley and Aria cared for our home and pet wonderfully. Their communication was excellent and they are trustworthy and friendly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a pet or housesitter.

Alec & Alec

Micaela and Alec were phenomenal pet sitters! They kept us updated with lots of pictures and cared for the pups like they were their own.

Ernesto

Ernesto is a fantastic sitter: friendly, communicative, responsive, and thoughtful. He took great care of our cat and our home, and we would be grateful to book him again. The photos he sent of our fur baby were much appreciated! Ernesto rocks! ♥️?♥️?‍⬛♥️?♥️

Lee

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

Ursula

This was our very first time having a sitter in our own home to cate for our 3 chihuahuas & Ursula and Robert made the whole process very simple! We were a little apprehensive as our last sitter told us that pur smallest boy had been totally depressed whilst we were away, but it was clear that he was absolutely delighted with Ursula & Roberts company! Our boys can be a very demanding group & Ursula & Robert have clearly kept them well entertained, fed & most importantly stroked! The boys were devastated to see them leave! Communication was quick and we were kept updated with photos via WhatsApp during our time away. We would thoroughly recommend Ursula & Robert as reliable, tidy & caring sitters!

Grace

Grace was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet, clean, and caring with my fur babies. I would use her again in a heartbeat. I feel like we are family. Thank you grace, you are truly a blessing! ❤️

Judy

Fiona and Jim were first rate house sitters and took wonderful care of our cat, our plants and our home.  They very obviously love pets and it shows.  Communication was excellent and they sent regular updates and pictures while we were away.  My cat was calm and happy when I returned and I think she misses them already!  My plants were well cared for and my home was super clean on return.  I hope to have Fiona and Jim back as our house sitters and I heartily recommend them to all.

Susanne

We were lucky to find Natasha with very short notice. Our initial conversation made it clear that she loves dogs and having rescue dogs herself, she would be a good fit for our rescue dog. She also worked from home so our dog had a lot of company. We received updates and images during our trip, which was much appreciated. The house was in good order when we got home and our dog seemed happy. I can highly recommend Tasha. 
My only suggestion would be to be very clear regarding plants and if you want them watered etc. We hadn’t mentioned outdoor pots etc so they had suffered during our time away due to a hot spell but that was our fault for not clarifying that. All in all a very good experience.
