Pet Sitters in Lake Shore, MD

Christine & Philip

Christine and Phil are amazing house sitters. I would highly recommend them and invite them to stay anytime. I came home to a happy kitty and a clean home. I was gone a week and couldn’t tell anyone had even been in my house it was so clean. Christine and Phil are super respectful, organized, and most important, took great care of Nugget sending me photos throughout my trip. Please come back anytime.

Alexandra

Alexandra took excellent care of my 3 cats while I was away for a week. She communicated well before and during the stay, sending me updates and photos so I could see the cats were doing well. My shyest cat, Frankie, warmed up to her almost immediately, which is very unusual. She left the house in good condition and I had little to do when I returned home. The cats were calm, well fed, and only had good things to say about Alexandra!

Hannah

July 22, 2022 Hannah and her boyfriend Chiyoung were ideal house sitters for my two dogs, Charlie and Gertie. They relentlessly walked the dogs three times a day and allowed them time to meet their canine friends in the hood. They also proved to be excellent at keeping my house in good shape and in looking after my swimming pool. The place was in better shape than before I left to visit my sister in Scotland. Hannah and Chiyoung have my highest recommendation.. I give them five stars in every category. John McClintcok

Maurica (Ivy)

Ivy did a terrific job (again!) taking care of our feline friends. She left the house spotless, including doing the sheets and towels before our return. She communicated well both before and during the sit, including pictures of our goofball kitties. She even bought them treats (with permission) for Christmas! Everything was in excellent order when we returned and we would be delighted to have Ivy sit for us again!

Rachel

Rachel was one of our favorite sitters! I was a little concerned as the communication wasnt the best prior to the sit (long delays in responding). She had Shannon over a few days and her best friend on different days. We permitted it after meeting them, and trusting her. She was good about letting us know when something was wrong or broken. She also did a lot of changing things around in our home to accommodate what was desired. I understand as there was a bit of clutter in places. However, things were not always put back where they were and we have struggled to find several things. In some instances, the place looked better! Rachel was easy going and friendly. She graciously accommodated our needs for flexibility in the travel times. The animals all seemed happy and well so that meant the most! And she sent pics as requested! If she lived closer, she’s the kind of woman I could hang out with! With all this said, We would love to have her and Shannon back for a future sit, and the animals would be delighted too!

Holly

Holly was fantastic, would recommend her to anyone.

Antonella & Clay

Antonella and Clay came for their second summer. Arlo immediately remembered then from last year. They are the dream house sitters. We could simply trust that everything was in good hands. Their communication with us was great. We hope they will come again. You couldn't find better sitters!

Jenna

Jenna was great! Really self sufficient and caring sitter! She sent us pictures and kept us updated on our pets. Would love to have her back!

Katie

I highly recommend Katie! We came home to happy cats and a clean house. She was friendly, helpful, organized, and great with communication and sending us updates. Besides going above and beyond to take care of our pets, she also seems to be a cat magnet - our grumpy older cat, who never likes anyone, was sitting in her lap daily - amazing! It was great to have someone who truly enjoys spending time with cats.

Caroline & Brian

Caroline & Brian were able to accommodate a last minute sit due to a funeral on our end, and they were amazing house sitter! We were there first sit via zeewoi, and I would have never thought that based on how cordial, punctual, and helpful they were. 10/10 recommend, and I hope they're in the area next time we need another house/pet sitter!

DAVID

David and Dottie had a short stay with Nalah and did a great job. Nalah was happy and relaxed when I arrived home, my place was extra clean, and we had good communication throughout the stay.

Monica & Alan

Monica and Alan are wonderful pet sitters. They provided our Sadie with a fun and stimulating visit. They sent pictures and really enjoyed their time with her and in our community. I think Sadie was sad to see them go. Now she’s left with her boring parents.

Karen

Karen and Mark are wonderful. Not only are their dogs east to manage and so we’ll behaved but their home is comfortable and beautiful. Basil is just the cutest little thing and being part of their memories for the time we were there we will cherish.  Karen is an amazing communicator. We had everything we needed. A quick walk to the market for groceries was a breeze. We really had a wonderful time and would happily be their sitters again.

Jo

We house sat for Jo and Tim and cared for the adorable Coco and Honey for a week recently. 
Emsworth is a great village.. access to amenities from the doorstep with lots of quirky gift shops, a local Co-op and Tesco Express, cafes, ice cream places, restaurants especially JJ’s and a super little harbour. There’s some great walks, coastal and country.
Jo and Tim really made us feel at home from the start and are very hospitable and generous .. leaving us a few meals to begin our stay..great people. Their house is in a perfect location.
I had daily contact with her and she provided a Welcome Pack before our start date.
The stars of course though we’re the sweet pets.
Both were so easy to care for and Honey particularly is a cuddler
 She climbed into our case when we were packing to leave and we were certainly tempted to take her home with us. 
Coco is an independent pup.. lives for her dinner but not so keen on walkies.. just a little stroll is good with her.
Thank you both for having us.
Regards
Andrea and Andy

Sarah

We had a lovely time sitting for Pickle & Kovu near Wimborne. They are such lovely cats. Both very different. Pickle loves a fuss and rarely goes outside. Kovu is rarely indoors, but loves a fuss & a toy to play with when he is. Sarah & Gary were very welcoming & have a great home in the Dorset countryside. Thanks again for a lovely few days.

dana

Miles and Jemma are very sweet and easy to care for. Very beautiful cats with great personality. 

Dana and Joel were so gracious and welcoming to their very clean and stylish home. This was our first sit at this site and we're so happy with how this turned out. The hosts were very open and communicative about everything. Could not recommend this host and their cats enough!!!

Josh

Josh and Cynthia were lovely hosts, super chill and kind. They left great information in their house guide which made everything flow easily. Their house was beautiful and in a wonderful location. Now onto the main attraction, Willie the orange cat. He is the sweetest, funniest little dude. I loved his personality and we became instant best friends. I loved how chatty he was and always loved laying on the bed with me or wanted to be in my company. He also has an awesome Catio which he loves to explore in. Would highly recommend this sit and would gladly come back! :) I will miss you Willie!

alexis

Cats are sweet and well-mannered brothers, with Zuzu being the more personable of the 2, caring for his brother after the noise from the fireworks bothered Rio.   Great communication with their owner whenever I had a question made my stay pleasant and easy-going.
