Pet Sitters in National Harbor, MD

Jacob

Jacob was a great sitter for my home and Pearl while I had to travel for a quick work trip. He stayed in touch, sent pictures, and everything was in good order when I got home. I highly recommend Jacob and Megan!

Kathryn & Dave

Omigosh, Katie and David are *amazing* house & pet sitters - my house has, I don't think, ever been as neat and tidy as it was when we returned from our vacation: K & D had kept it absolutely pristine and laundered everything, leaving nothing for us to do on our return. Arriving home exhausted at 11pm to a freshly made bed - fantastic. Peeve and Warlock were utterly spoiled and pampered, too, with plenty of brushing and attention and general good care. They're eyeballing me now as I write, wondering where the Nicer People went. Katie & Dave kept us updated throughout our trip - I didn't have to worry once. Would have them around again in a heartbeat. Thanks K&D! Appreciate you!

Aurelie & Melanie

Aurelie and Mel were great sitters! They were responsive, organized, and sent lots of updates. My cats warmed to them very quickly and they left my apartment spotless. I’d highly recommend them!

Vicki & Jim

Vicki and Jim were super friendly and kind people and took good care of Jerry and the home with daily updates. It sounds like Jerry remained pretty shy while they were here but I was pleased to come home to a tidy house and healthy kitty!

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.

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.

Kimberly

We couldn't be happier with Kimberly's pet sitting! She took amazing care of Floki and Coco, making sure they were happy and healthy the whole time we were away. Kimberly kept us updated regularly, which was super reassuring. We came home to a spotless house – everything was so clean and tidy! Her love for animals really shines through in everything she does. If you need a reliable and loving pet sitter, Kimberly is the best! Thanks a ton, Kimberly, for everything!

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.

Katie

Katie was one of our best sitters ever! (And that's saying a lot - we've had great sitters from Zeewoi.) She was super easy to plan with, from the first email exchange to the final send-off. She sent us a bunch of great photos that proved our dog was having a grand old time with her. We'd invite Katie back in a heartbeat!

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!

Elena

Elena was a fantastic sitter for our cat and dog! When we had our introduction video call before the sit, I immediately felt comfortable and knew they would be in safe hands thanks to her thorough questions. Elena was very sensitive to our specific instructions and pets' needs, and very communicative before and throughout the stay. Both our cat and dog were immediately very comfortable, rare for our cat especially. She took great care of our home and was also very patient and gracious with us when we ended up arriving home earlier. We would absolutely invite Elena back and highly recommend her for future sits!

Cindy

It was a pleasure to have Cindy care for my cat Stella while I was away on an unexpected last-minute trip. Cindy sent frequent updates and photos, which provided a great comfort to me since I had only been home from a long trip 3 days before suddenly having to leave again. Stella seemed quite comfortable with Cindy's company! I returned home to a relaxed kitty and tidy apartment. Thank you, Cindy!

Kimberlee

Love Nicole and Tre!!! They took care of my home and pets for a week and left it all in pristine condition! Very respectful and communicated frequently with pictures and questions.  Nicole even expressed a concern about my pool which could have caused some damage if left alone. I am very grateful to them both and absolutely would love to have them come back for another sit! So would Darcy & Rosie!!

Judy

Judy and Chris were very welcoming on our arrival and gave clear instructions on the care of Roxie.  Roxie is an easy cat to care for, the location is great (loved the walks along the Kettle Valley Rail Trail and the lakefront) and the condo is comfortable and well equipped.  Would be happy to sit for them again.

Thomas

Really enjoyed housesitting for Thomas and Gauri, they are a lovely and welcoming couple. I felt at home quickly, their home is modern and bright and Shlomo is adorable and well behaved. Communication was quick and friendly and I could always reach them in case I had any questions. Would recommend housesitting here any time :)

Orin

I had a very nice time with Charlotte and Sergio. They are extremely loving, want to be with you (though not overbearing), sleep with you and like to be held. They are easy to take care of. Charlotte likes to go outside and luckily does come back home. Orin’s place is comfortable and a convenient walk into the small downtown area of Niwot.

Grace

They are a really lovely couple and the babies are the cutest boys ever 🥺❤️ I really enjoyed my time there. They are really easy going, friendly and love cuddles 🥰 really nice experience, thank you so much Grace and Amar 🫶🏻 All the best for you :)

Vanessa

My daughter and I spent the weekend housesitting for Vanessa and James . They have two lovely dogs and a cat . The dogs are very gentle and nice natured . The cat just chills .  We visited the zoo and the beach whilst we were here . Quiet area , lovely home . Annah and I enjoyed chasing the dogs and watching Netflix . Perfect weekend away .

Adam

It was an absolute pleasure sitting with Coco and Fiona! 

Coco is a beautiful 13 year old greyhound. Loves cuddling up on the couch and gets the cutest of bouncy feet when it’s meal time. Fiona is a princess and adores getting dressed up and parading her outfits for you. She will be glued to your lap whenever you are seated!

Adam and Julie are incredibly kind and hospitable. Their home is beautiful and I look forward to returning in August :)
