Pet Sitters in Temple Hills, MD

Mary

Mary provided excellent care for our two dogs and one cat over a week’s time. We so appreciated her willingness to meet the dogs beforehand and her attention to detail. Mary sent photos during her stay, staying in touch with us throughout the sit. We would gladly book Mary again.

Caryn

I highly recommend Caryn as a cat sitter. She provided exceptional care for both my cat and home. Caryn tailored her communication to fit our preferences perfectly, which made the entire process smooth and reassuring. She was attentive towards my cat, ensuring all her needs were met. Additionally, Caryn left our home in immaculate condition. Working with her was a pleasure, and I would definitely enlist her services again.

Suzannah

Suzannah was an exceptional sitter for our home and sweet pup Gus! Despite the poor weather and even a temporary power outage, Suzannah maintained great communication and care for Gus. We were updated consistently throughout her stay, and our home was left immaculate! I would highly recommend her for your next sit!!!!!

Matthew

We couldn’t have asked for better house and pet sitters than Matthew, Jennifer and their daughter Paige. Matthew was communicative from the get-go and throughout the stay, it was easy to see our pets took a liking (loving) to them, and they took excellent care of the house. We have a skittish cat who gets extra anxious in our absence and he regrettably had potty problems while we were away longer than usual, so we’re extra grateful that Matthew went above and beyond with troubleshooting and clean up. Absolutely no reservations recommending them for any future housesitting gig.

Hannah

Hanna was a great sitter! I was comfortable with her from the get-to and knew Thaddues would be well taken care of with her and he was! She is reliable, communicative and very friendly. I would reccomned her to anyone. Thanks Hannah!

Madeline

Maddie did a terrific job with our dogs. They seemed quite content when we got home. The house was clean and she kept my garden alive! She was very communicative before and during the sit. I would definitely have her again and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Olivia & Belrie

I am so fortunate because I had to cancel this sit at the last moment and Olivia and Belrie were extremely understanding. All our communications leading up to the sit were phenomenal, and I can't wait to have them stay with Pearl soon.

Renee

Renee did an excellent job taking care of my indoor/outdoor cat, watering my plants in the yard, and leaving the house tidy. I enjoyed visiting with her and her children prior to their stay and she communicated with me about how things were going. I would definitely recommend her.

Krista

Krista was great!!!!!!! First off I want to comment about her bubbly, smiley personality. Krista is a genuinely happy young women and her love for animals is obvious when she speaks about them or is in their presence. I was so lucky to have found such a wonderful person to leave my farm and pets with while I was away for two weeks. The farm is a big place. Its well organized and easy to care for once you get the routine down. This does require a lot of energy and a will to learn. When I came home everything was in perfect order. Krista tackled all that it entails as if she had been doing it all her life. She followed the routine which is the most important thing for animals. They count on a perfect schedule which keeps them healthy minded and happy. Krista is very smart and intuitive and even rigged a broken fence post until I was able to send someone to fix it. My dogs loved her so much that they cuddled with her as they would with me, the proof was in some adorable videos she sent me. My horses loved the daily grooming, apples and carrots and the goats and chickens appeared to be very spoiled by her attentions and treats. I could go on all day about Krista, my only wish is that she come back some day for another sit. Thank you Krista :) Deb

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!

Olivia

Olivia and Jenna took great care of the cats while we were away for a long weekend! Nothing was out of place at the apartment when we returned and Olivia was a great communicator leading up to and during the sit. She sent updates and photos daily. Would love to have them both again!

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!

Liane

This is such a lovely cosy home and Ivy is so affectionate and lovely. I really enjoyed staying here on 2 cat sits occasions and loved having Ivy purring on my lap while I watched Downton Abbey  ! 🐱😃🐱😃
Liane made me feel so welcome. I’ll be back when needed! 🐱💛🐱

Magali

Poja was very friendly. As the weather wasn’t the best I had a lovely time staying in and cuddling up with him. Magali had left lots of helpful guides and information about the local area & her home is incredibly cosy - I highly recommend ✨

Samar

I'm so happy I had the opportunity to catsit for Summer and her partner. Tywin is the most gorgeous fluffball you will ever meet! He is super gentle and affectionate and will let you know (with his tiny meow) when he needs cuddles or food!

The apartment is really lovely with everything you could need and well located in the centre of Paris. I did a lot of exploring from there during my stay.

Tywin was a pleasure to look after and I would love the opportunity to look after him again in the future (I was sad to leave!). Can't recommend this sit enough :) Thank you!

Daniela

Daniela and Andrew were very welcoming. They went above and beyond to make sure I had everything needed. It was so special to get a guided bike tour of the town led by Daniela 💕 I was also introduced to one of her friends who was also very kind to me! Marsie was super chill. She spent the sunny days out in the garden! I highly recommend this sit! Worcester is a very walkable and enjoyable place!!!
Thank you for everything Daniela and Andrew!

Ailsa

It was a pleasure looking after Lulu, Tilly and Fifi! The three girls are very independent and love being outside but they always checked in regularly to see what I was doing, or kept me company in the garden. In the evening, they each had their own timing to come back and it took some quick door handling on my side in order to keep them inside. Each one has her cuddly moment, Fifi in the morning, Tilly in the evening and Lulu when I was having tea.
Ailsa is a wonderful host. From the very first moment she made me feel welcome. As I was staying in Melbourne I could go visit before the sit and Ailsa came to pick me up and showed me not only her house and presented me her furry family, but she also gave me a guided tour of Ballarat. She provided me with a very comprehensive welcome guide with even some historical background information. Ailsa is a generous person, with whom communication is easy and quick. The house and amenities were  as described, the neighbourhood quiet with friendly neighbours. I enjoyed going for a walk around Lake Wendouree (just 10 minutes away), and there is a lot to do and see in and around Ballarat even for people without a car (I didn’t have any), two bus stops are just 5 minutes away. I fully enjoyed my stay in this cosy cottage with the lovely ‘gals’ and can only recommend it!

jeri

Sitting for Jeri nothing short of a pleasure. She was well prepared for my arrival and even had me a day early. Hobbs and Flower were also great to hang out with. Our daily walks were a pleasure and their company was great. I would definitely site for Jeri again no questions asked.
