Pet Sitters in Marlow Heights, MD

Danae

Danae is what this platform is about. She is absolutely wonderful: reliable, kind, considerate, communicative. She took excellent care of my cat and of my home, and i felt at peace knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Danae! 😍 Please come again!

Helena & Art

Thankyou so much to Art and Helena for looking after Baily and Phyllis and our house so well. Both pets looked so well and happy on our return. We know that Baily was very loved and looked after and had some amazing walks and adventures due to the pictures and updates that were shared. Our house was left immaculately clean and tidy and all the bedding and towels etc were washed and dried (not an easy task with the UK weather!). We met up with Art and Helena before the sit started and immediately felt comfortable with them due to Baily's reaction to them both, he was smitten ! Would highly recommend them as house / pet sitters to anyone. We feel very lucky to have found them and would love to have them sit again in the future, Baily especially :)

Bruce

Bruce did a truly excellent job of watching our dog Halo, and respecting/taking care of our house during a recent 10-day stay. Upon our return, we were met by an obviously happy and relaxed Halo. It looked as if he had just been groomed - his coat was shinier than usual and overall, he looked very healthy indeed. Bruce not only managed his walks and diet to perfection, but he also bought some new balls for Halo to play with (previously, Halo had not shown an interest in playing with balls). The house was perfectly clean and in exactly the same condition as when we left it. We highly recommend Bruce and won't hesitate to request him to dog/house sit for us again - in fact, we have already done so!

Brittany

If you are looking for peace of mind that your pet is being well taken care of while you are way, look no further than Brittany and Zane. We had a great pre-sit meeting at which Brittany took notes and made sure all her questions were answered. While away, we got daily pictures and assurances that all was well. We would definitely turn to Brittany and Zane with our future sitting needs.

Juliet

Juliet stayed at our home and took care of it and our Momo for almost 20 days. She updated us regularly and sent pictures. He had no complaints and enjoyed our vacation peacefully! Will definitely recommend her.

Dalton

Dalton and Rachel were AMAZING sitters! They were communicative, self sufficient, thoughtful, and extra neat. Hands down some of the very best sitters we’ve had. They brought their doggie along and our pup had such a great time he was tired when we got home (yay!) and everyone seemed content. They even stripped the bed before they left and did the dishes! We’d be lucky to have Dalton and Rachel back again anytime they wanted!

Manal

It was an absolute pleasure to have Manal in my home, and for Pan! She was responsive, caring, and accommodating to my request for turning the pet camera on when she's not around home, which I understand can be icky. When I was back from my 2-week long trip, I found my home the way I left it, clean, tidy, and most importantly, with a healthy and happy cat who missed me a lot but well taken care of. I would invite her back anytime, highly recommended!

Ellen

Excellent job. Our dog was well cared for and loved spending time with Ellen. We were updated frequently with texts and pictures. Ellen went above and beyond in taking care of our dog with lots of walks and a car ride adventure.

Egle

Egle was a great sitter for my two boys ! She had good communication and sent updates and photos daily. I could tell by the pictures my cats were happy and healthy! I also came home to a sparkling clean apartment. I’d definitely recommend Egle to be your next sitter.

Pranav

Pranav was great! He was in town for a conference but always made sure that the dogs were walked, fed and taken care of no matter the time of day. He had great communication with us when necessary, sent some photos, and when we returned the house was clean and tidy. Would highly recommend him.

Nina

Nina was a fantastic house and dog sitter for us! She asked great questions in advance that made it clear she was a thoughtful, experienced sitter. During the visit Nina sent us amazing pictures of our dogs. It was clear they were relaxed, happy, and having a great time! Nina left the house incredibly clean and tidy. She was great and welcome to sit for us again!

Brunilda

11/10 for Brunie! She did an incredible job, caring for our home and pets. I honestly think our dog was disappointed when we returned! Brunie sent daily updates and pictures and took our pup on long walks every day. The house was immaculate when we got home with clean sheets on the bed and even a little vase of flowers for us on the counter. I confidently recommend Bruening to anyone who’s lucky enough to have her!

Janine

Beyond Exceptional!!! These are the words that best describe our experience with Ken and Jane. We could not be happier with their attention to every detail of our animal's routines and the respect they showed for our home and property.  Each and every day we had communication with them to insure the best possible experience for us and for our furry friends. Having said that, I am afraid that if I give any more glowing compliments, I will not be able to have them return to our home to sit!  So I will close by saying they are always welcome at the Hilltop Hilton!

Natasha

Such a lovely sit. Lilly is the sweetest dog and great company. Natasha's place has everything you need, in a great location. I would be happy to return, any time.

Molly

Molly and Liz were very nice and welcoming hosts. Although they were on a different time zone, they were always responsive to any questions we had. Their home had everything we needed for cooking, working and just relaxing. And we loved the neighborhood! Charley is just a sweetheart. She loves to play fetch at home and hang out by your side all the time. She requires a sitter with more experience with rescues, as she has specific triggers while on the walk. Molly and Liz talked us through those before they left so we knew what to expect and that we had to be focused at all times when walking her. Beyond that, we recommend this sit.

Dana

I had a lovely, comfortable stay at Dana’s home - Enkidu and Tobi were wonderful companions and easy to care for. Dana was great with communicating/answering questions. The home is in a very central location with close driving proximity to downtown and UVA. Excellent opportunity to visit and enjoy Charlottesville!

Kerry

Gandalf is an explosion of fluff, a very sweet cat who was a joy to spend time with. Kerry made sure we knew and had everything necessary to settle in and look after Gandalf for a couple of weeks. It’s a lovely apartment and amazing location nestled amidst the trees, near the heart of Adam’s Morgan. Thank you for such a great experience, it was a pleasure!

Andrea

Rudy was a pleasure to look after and Andrea's home is in a great location.

Roslyn & Mike

I truly enjoyed my stay at Roslyn and Mike's place in Las Cruces. The view of the Organ Mts is absolutely spectacular and their home very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, yet within several miles to all amenities. Sophie was such a joy to connect with. She loved to watch animal channels on YouTube, sitting contently on the edge of the bed mesmerized. She loves her walks, getting the attention of neighborhood dogs behind fences. I would definitely consider returning to Roslyn and Mike's home.
