Cat Sitters in Potomac Falls, VA

Soraya

Highly recommend Soraya as a pet sitter and overall lovely person! Soraya sent us cute photos of our dogs, took great care of the house and communicated well. House was clean and tidy when we returned and Snacks and Pickles were well-loved. Would love to have Soraya back to sit for us in the future!

Ira

Ira did a phenomenal job taking care of the cats and chickens. He went above and beyond with caring for the chickens. He arrived early so we could meet and I could show him the chicken care. He was very responsive while I was away and I look forward to inviting Ira back for another housesit if he has any future plans to return to the Smoky Mountains.

Sage

Sage was wonderful to deal with. Clear, communicative and clearly dog loving!

Devin

Devin stayed with Roma over the July 4th holiday and I was glad to have him there in case the fireworks got too loud for her. His communication was fine. He sent some lovely photos of Roma which made me smile. I think he and Roma did fine together. Thanks Devin!

Sharon

Sharon was just a wonderful sitter. She has an engaging, positive personality and is full of energy. We were happy with the updates and photos of 2 content Goldens, whether on a trail or chilling by her feet. It is so wonderful to go away knowing your fur babies are loved and cared for in their own home. Will need to come up with a trip so we can invite this special lady back.

Colleen & Donald

Colleen and Donny were wonderful house sitters! They spent lots of quality time with our elderly cat, petting, brushing, and playing with her. They consistently contacted us with updates and photos and left our home clean and even folded up our sofa bed which was nice to come home to after a long drive. We would love to have them back again and highly recommend Colleen and Donny to other pet parents!

Jane

Jane took great care of the pets and the house. It was spotless upon arrival, the bed was made with clean sheets, and an added plus of flowers. Her communication was excellent and and she sent just the right amount of photos. Jane was reliable, self sufficient, and I would be happy to have her back.

Darsie

Darsie was the best! Very communicative and was great with our pups. The house was left clean, the girls happy, and I would recommend her to anyone! She’s welcome back anytime!

Anshu & Bijal

Anshu and Bijal checked in on Kiki while we were away for the weekend and were very good at communicating and finding our scared kitty. They sent photos and made sure she had fresh water and a clean litter box before they left!

Helen

Helen had great communication and always let me know how things were going! I knew things were well taken care of with her there. 😊

Melva A

Melva was terrific. She took excellent care of our cat and did it all while going to work and dealing with a death in her family. When we returned from our four-day trip, our place was spotless.

Carolina

Carolina was amazing, especially considering my dog required an emergency vet visit. She took great care of Homer, put his needs first, and communicated well throughout. The situation wasn't ideal for Carolina but she did an amazing job. Highly recommend!

Frances

Sandy is a lovely house/dogsitter. She took great care of our boys who took a real shine to her (particularly Harry). 
Sandy is very competent in dealing with animals and shows genuine concern for their well being. Thank you also Sandy for leaving the house clean and tidy for our return. Would welcome your return anytime.

Stephen

We consider ourselves really lucky to have found Elise and Kevin. They are a lovely couple and are perfect sitters. They looked after our house and 2 dogs wonderfully well for just over 2 weeks when we were on holiday.  I'm sure that our dogs, Toffee and Fudge, didn't miss us at all, they were excised daily and were so well cared for and loved
Elsie and Kevin are very sensible and practical and easily got to grips with our dogs walking behaviour/schedule. Think they did this even better than us???. They kept in regular contact with us throughout their stay, sending photos and videos of the dogs, which was lovely.
On our return our house was clean, tidy and 'as we left it', what more could you ask...
In short, we can't recommend them highly enough and really hope that they enjoyed their stay at our house enough to want to help us out again sometime soon!

Stephen, Susan, Luke, Matthew, Toffee and Fudge.
