Pet Sitters in Queen Annes County, MD

Janna

Janna was terrific. We met over zoom as she was coming from Baltimore, and everything went smoothly. We found her to be extremely reliable, responsible, friendly, respectful, and easygoing. Best of all was that she left us a beautiful small portrait of Echo and Juliette which we are going to frame and hang on the wall. A really nice person and clearly an expert cat-sitter.

Debra & Robert

We won the lottery with Debbie and Tom. Not only were they excellent pet and house sitters, but we've made lovely new friends in them. Debbie and I had easy rapport in our first phone call; subsequent text messages made it easy to plan for their arrival. We hung out together before leaving on our trip, and discovered that we have so many things in common. They took top notch care of our cat and our home, texting with questions or sending photos. We look forward to visiting them in Maryland and hosting them again in our apartment. Thanks, guys!

Jennifer

Jennifer is amazing. We couldn't imagine better for our cat and our home. She took great care of our pet in our absence. We heard from her every day by photo and video. Our cat was treated like a little prince and loved Jennifer. We found our house clean and tidy, Jennifer took good care of it. She was super organized. More than adorable, attentive and caring, she's the ideal person if you're looking for a petsitter. Our only regret: not having her at home for every trip. Thank you so much !

Brina

Brina is such a pleasure! She is the most positive and exuberant sitter we've ever had! Annabelle absolutely loves her, and we have discovered, thanks to Brina, Cat TV! Annabelle is absolutely hooked! Brina is so sweet. She has sat for us several times. We hope to have her back again and again!

Margo & Dennis

Margot and Dennis were wonderful house and cat sitters. They quickly bonded with our two kitties and provided them with lots of love and attention while we were away. They provided regular updates and photos. Margot & Dennis are a lovely couple who took great care of our home. I recommend them and would consider them again for future housesits.

Samantha

Sam & Aleks sat my two boys for four nights while I was away for work. The communication in the weeks leading up to them arriving was perfect. In fact, the first Zoom we had, I ended by saying I think Sam and I would be friends if we lived closer. She was engaging, friendly and asked a lot of very good questions about the dogs, their routine and our home. I got a good sense that she was going to be a very good sitter. They did not disappoint. I received daily text messages with images and videos of them enjoying outdoors. The boys were in their comfort zone and I knew they were being well-taken care of. Sam was on-point with all the right things, left my house clean and was great about communicating regularly. I highly recommend these two for any sit. I hope to meet them someday to say thank you in person.

Orion

When we met Orion for the first time, we liked that they were genuinely eager and excited to spend time with our cats. When they came by the house to pick up the key, we showed them around, gave additional instructions, and asked them several times if they had any questions or needed to know about anything else. They confirmed they were fine. However, upon our return, we discovered that some of our instructions were not followed. We told them that we preferred the cats to only go out once a day and that they needed to be back in before sunset because of the coyotes. There is a cat door that has different settings to let them in/out, out only, in only. They left the cat door in/out which was noticeable upon our return because we came home at 8pm and both cats were still outside. In terms of tidiness, we think they did a decent job with cleaning up after themselves, but we were a bit taken aback seeing leftover food in the fridge and having to take out their trash. They also left something at our place, which they later picked up. In terms of communication, we think it was a little bit difficult. There were a few times we asked them a question or stated a preference, and they would not respond or answer our question. It made us confused, like perhaps we miscommunicated or they misunderstood us, but we would not receive an answer. Overall, though, Orion genuinely seemed to enjoy the company of our cats, and for this we appreciate. On the other hand, we’ve learned that we will need to outline all of our expectations in written form for future house sitters and make sure that the sitters understand and agree to them because we didn't feel understood during this house sit.

Christopher

Chris and Alex were wonderful. They were attentive, responsive, responsible, showered Whiskey with attention, and took her on adventures. We highly recommend Chris and Alex and would have them back in a heartbeat.

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!

Patty

Patty was wonderful! She cared so well for Alia, sent photos and regular updates, and is frankly just a joy to be around and work with. I am grateful to have had the chance to connect with her. Patty, if you ever want to return to Asheville please let me know!

Nana Anokwale (Ah no kwa lee)

She's great!

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.

Jane

Jane's excellent organization and communication made this housesit a pleasure!  The chickens, fish, and Harold the Cat were a delight to care for.  This beautiful property is close to a wonderful bakery, coffee, and hiking trails, and Jane even has a guide to Berkeley walks, including this neighborhood!

Laure

I had a fantastic house sit at Laure's with Zazie! She is the sweetest dog who is very friendly and likes to snuggle. Zazie also knows her favorite walk routes, so she showed me around her neighborhood. Laure's home is so lovely with sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay. I'd love to watch Zazie again and highly recommend this sit!

Japheth

We just left this housesit and we are already missing Pac and Rocky so much. They are the sweetest and kindest furry friends ever and it’s such a privilege to spend time with them. We had SO MUCH fun taking care of these two. Both Pac and Rocky are very communicative about their needs and, even though Pac requires a little more attention due to his age, it shouldn’t be a problem for someone who would like to spend some time with the sweetest dog ever. 

Japheth and Barbara are very nice, clear with all the instructions and so easy to communicate with. They made sure that we felt welcomed in their cozy place and they were very easy to reach if we had any questions. Not only is the place great to hang out in a cold day, but it is also very well located. We had a beautiful time. We definitely recommend this house sit !

Rachel

I had a wonderful experience looking after Belle when I stayed at Rachel's home.

Belle is very sweet, friendly and loves to cuddle. She warmed up to me pretty quickly. We took daily walks and played in the backyard often. She let me know when she needed to go outside to do her business. She did need medicine each morning but it was very easy to crush up the pill and add to her morning kibble. 

Rachel was very friendly and welcoming. She was very kind and left me flowers and a thank you card. Communication with her was very easy and she responded quickly whenever I reached out to her.

It was a joy to house sit and stay with Belle.

Kerry

Best sit of all time!! Mia and Charlie were the sweetest pups to watch after while their mom, Kerry, was away. Charlie is a little love bug who follows me around most of the day while Mia was more independent but equally as loving. I cannot stress enough how easy they are to care for. They were super self sufficient and only needed to go on a long walk once a day. There’s a ton of beautiful green spaces nearby as well that we would drive to to run around in. Kerry was an EXCELLENT communicator and so open and friendly! She has a whole binder about the dogs in case anything were to ever go wrong. I felt very prepared. The house was also very cozy and clean. Would love to sit for her again. I’ll miss the pups!!!

Owen & Bernadette

We thoroughly enjoyed our sit at Owen and Bernadette’s lovely home. Buttercup is such an adorable cat with lots of character. Everything was there that we needed to make us comfortable . We already miss Buttercup coming to wake us in the morning for breakfast.
