Cat Sitters in Lake Shore, MD

Sharon took great care of our two dogs! She sent pictures and updates frequently. The house was kept neat and clean and all of the plants were taken care. 5 stars.

Devora and Marcelo were wonderful! So friendly and responsible, I felt completely at ease with them taking care of our home and pets. They were also so immaculately clean, it was such a relief returning home to such a pristine state! Thank you for doing such an amazing job.

They were so amazing! Very efficient and courteous! They both seem like very sweet people and even my neighbors told me how great they were! I hope they come and sit for me again!!!

Whitney & John were great sitters for our pets and home! They picked up a long sit with us on semi-short notice for their first sit on zeewoi, and everything went so smoothly. Whitney is a clear communicator and came out a day early to meet us and our pets. We were many time zones away while traveling, so communication got tricky once we left, but we got pictures and updates when we could, and Whitney & John were very self-sufficient. Our pets were content and relaxed when we returned, and our home was tidy. Zora, our dog, got to go on different adventures, and they even dealt with an impromptu mud soak with a river wash (her favorite). We recommend this couple as reliable sitters and good humans, and hope that we will cross path again in the future!

Dominic and Bri were communicative, flexible, and great caretakers for my cats while I was away! I would definitely choose them again in the future.

Chelsea and her wonderful son Steven came to my home to care for Woolly Mammoth. Woolly fail immediately in love with them to the point he almost did not say bye to me. He really wanted to be playing with Steven! Chelsea kept me fully informed and also my family when there were a couple questions about my home. I got pictures and even one of Woolly trying to leave with them as he jumped into their car and needed to be coached out! The house was impeccable when they left. I would love to have them back!

It was our pleasure to have Katy care for our Cocoa and we appreciate her wonderful care for him while we were away. Katy was very charming and adaptable from her arrival, she instantly bonded with Cocoa and settled in seamlessly. We came back to a very happy and well cared for doodle. When our flight was grounded and as a result we missed our International connection back, Katy was so wonderful in changing her travel plans to spend an extra night with Cocoa so we wouldn’t have to worry. For which we cannot thank her enough. We also loved the welcome package she prepared for us to come home to (Flowers & Coffee) which show how thoughtful she is. We would absolutely recommend Katy to anyone looking for a trusted person to care for their pets. She is super caring, adaptable, warm and she has shown she’s prepared to go above and beyond. We would love to have her again to love up on and care for Cocoa. Thanks again Katy.

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.

Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

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!

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

Roxann was great! Timely, tidy, and communicative. Would recommend working with her!
