Cat Sitters in Marshall Heights, DC

Lynn & Kenneth

Lynn was a fabulous sitter! She is an incredibly kind, reliable and friendly person, she (and Kenny) sat for our three cats while we were away for a week. We didn’t get to meet Kenny in person but he was lovely on the initial video call! Lynn came to our house to collect the keys and be introduced to the cats a couple of days before the sit which meant we knew everything would be in great hands. Lynn is a warm and lovely person so we immediately felt at ease knowing everything would be fine while we were away. We were so pleased to receive lovely photos and updates from Lynn who seemed to be having a fab time with the pussycats. They were all very healthy, happy and relaxed on our return, and had lots of playtime while we were away which they love. The house was also left spotlessly clean and tidy, so everything had been very well taken care of. We are hugely appreciative of the care and attention Lynn and Kenny provided, and we would highly recommend them as sitters. We would gladly welcome them back anytime!

Todd & Janis

Once again, Todd and Janis were wonderful sitters. They were easy to communicate with, sent adorable photos, and took great care of our home.

Joi

Joi took excellent care of my kitties! I received daily photos of them playing and relaxing together. She was a very organized sitter with great communication. My home was just as I left it. I would have Joi back anytime.

Kelsey

First of all, these two left our house cleaner than we left it to them. Considering we have a house cleaner, I was VERY impressed. Thank you both :) These two were incredibly communicative throughout their visit, treated our home with respect, and treated our puppers with love and respect. We would love to have them back any time they are available to do so. I would recommend them to anyone seeking a home or pet sitter, or both. Thank you again for being so great. We appreciate you very much. Jake

Andrea

Andrea cared for our pets (1 dog, 2 cats, and 20 koi) and did a superb job! Above and beyond our traditional pet care requests, she took the initiative to 1) contact me to ask where I kept bird seed so she could fill our feeders, and 2) noticed one of our cats seemed to be having an issue with her dry food, so found a can of wet food for her to make sure she was eating. She watered our outdoor flowers to make sure they were thriving. And even though her sit was only 3 days long, she thoroughly cleaned the house (nothing like vacuum cleaner marks on the carpet to say "welcome home"). Once we unpacked, we were ready to relax and didn't have to lift a finger. I would definitely invite Andrea to sit again, and can recommend her highly!

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!

James

James was such a wonderful sitter. He took amazing care of our six fur babies and was very communicative. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter and we would love to have him sit for us again!

Alicia

Alicia was a wonderful pet-sitter for our dog, Lottie, and for our daughter’s fish, Lychee! She was in touch with us daily with photos of Lottie, sometimes accompanied by her friendly lab Mitch, and even sent a video of Lychee, which our daughter appreciated. We felt so comfortable with the care and attention paid to Lottie and would definitely welcome Alicia again! As a house sitter, Alicia was amazing as well. After our week away, we returned to our house and found it in the same condition we had left it (if not a little cleaner…). During our time away, the remnants of hurricane Debby passed through our area. We were worried about how the storms would impact Alicia’s stay, but she kept us up to date, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation in a way that would not have been possible without her there. Overall, Alicia was amazing and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Anna

Anna and her two kids were amazing with our home and took incredible care of our pets. Our (sometimes cranky) dog loved them immediately, which gave me such a sense of relief! I'm so grateful to them for a great week where I didn't have to worry about anything back at home.

Kaitlyn & Andrew

Friendly, clean and followed instructions perfectly :)

Shayne

Shane was great very communicated very kind and sent great pictures of the dogs. I felt very safe leaving her in charge of my two pups and my home and she did not disappoint. I would highly recommend her to anybody and I plan to see if she'll stay again in the near future.

Alexandra

Lexi was great! Very communicative, pups loved spending time with her and she took great care of our animals and home, especially Ranger who had a cone on and needed meds, she handled it all great. Thanks Lexi!

Debbie & David

Alison is a very conscientious person who took her duties seriously!
She took it upon herself to arrive early so she could witness for herself Bobby's routine and how he interacted with us but most importantly how his behavior was whilst being given his meds/food and bath plus a blow dry. (Due to  Bobby having heart failure and a skin condition Alison administered the appropriate meds with confidence). 
Alison's preparation gave us the confidence to leave for our travels without concern for Bobby!!
During our time away Alison sent us pics and updates of Bobby which we enjoyed receiving!
On Our return home, we could see and feel that Bobby was happy and healthy just as we had left him a month prior!!!
Alison took really good care of our home which we appreciated on our return! 
We would call upon Alison to take care of Bobby again as we are sure this is what he would want also.
We can't thank you enough, Alison. Sending love and gratitude from
Debbie, David and Bobster xx

Sally

Susan was terrific - house was clean and Bruin was well cared for!
