Dog Sitters in The Highlands, MD

Pam and Dave were phenomenal! They were self-sufficient, very tidy and Parker was clearly at ease with both of them. The house was spotless when we arrived home and Parker was happy and well rested. Couldn’t ask for more!

What a brilliant couple. We could not have had better people to look after our dog and house. We would have no hesitation to have them back. 

Meredith was great, the dogs loved her even Babette who is nervous of strangers. Pus Pus was her usual self. Meredith arrived when she said she would giving me time to show her where I walk the dogs and to take her to the various supermarkets. On returning home the house was clean and tidy, I couldn't have asked for more. I would highly recommended Meredith, I am sure you will be delighted.

Chelsea and her wonderful son Steven came to my home to care for Woolly Mammoth. Woolly fail immediately in love with them to the point he almost did not say bye to me. He really wanted to be playing with Steven! Chelsea kept me fully informed and also my family when there were a couple questions about my home. I got pictures and even one of Woolly trying to leave with them as he jumped into their car and needed to be coached out! The house was impeccable when they left. I would love to have them back!

Caleb and Tabbie were great! Gave us regular updates and we could definitely tell they cared about all of our pets. Would recommend!

Anne had texted me upon her arrival and sent me a pic of Tesla. She communicated daily with a picture, in which I could see Tesla was very happy. Upon my return Tesla was very content. The house was very clean, neat and Anne took it upon her self to do the laundry of the sheets and towels!!! She even replaced the fresh flowers! I would love to have her sit any time.

Antonella and Clay came for their second summer. Arlo immediately remembered then from last year. They are the dream house sitters. We could simply trust that everything was in good hands. Their communication with us was great. We hope they will come again. You couldn't find better sitters!

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.

Kaitlin was amazing. She sent me daily updates and I loved seeing how affectionate our dog was with Kaitlin. Our neighbors also commented that they saw a lot of Fern and Kaitlin, and Fern's tail was always wagging. Kaitlin left the house neat and clean, and spent lots of quality time with Fern. I think Fern actually had some withdrawals when I got home and had to go back to work! I would definitely recommend Kaitlin to care for your pets.

Sydney was an excellent house and pet sitter! She was super communicative both in planning and during the sit! She took amazing care of Luna and Lynx and our house. She was sure to ask us questions and send us pictures of the girls while we were gone. Our house was cleaner when we returned! Would love to have her back anytime!!

We had almost decided on another housesitter for a recent family vacation when we got a message from Liz, who travels with her dog Buster. Our dogs love other dogs and we thought the addition of a play pal would really help ease any anxiety they had in our absence, even though there’s always a little concern with adding another dog in the mix we decided it was worth a shot and boy did it work out swimmingly! We have always felt that our dogs have been well taken care of with TH, but this is the first time we’ve been away and had daily professional photographic documentation that they were also having mega FUN in our absence! Liz took all the pups out on 3mi minimum hikes every day and facilitated a ton of play and cuddle time at home. I think our girls both fell in love with sweet Buster, he’s 11 so totally mellow and even keeled- he got along perfectly with both Reaux who loves to rough house and Cece who is a lot more mellow. His stint here may help me convince my husband we need another dog! It was a real treat for us to get to travel without any of the usual anxiety that the dogs weren’t getting enough exercise or play time- we are pretty active and they are used to being tired/happy all the time so it’s usually our biggest concern. Liz took such great care of our home and property through two winter storms with several inches of snow, and successfully finished off a 30 course of antibiotics with both of our dogs. We had a little bit of a hectic exit from the house to leave for our trip and she was so sweet to even fold a load of laundry we had in the dryer and take care of a few other loose ends- really above and beyond! As usual with TH- our home was in gorgeous condition when we returned and we couldn’t be more grateful for the respect and attention paid. Thanks Liz for all the love you showed our dogs and our home! And especially for the incredible pics- they were such a treat. Wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Liz and Buster to anyone looking for a great house sitter and dog buddy combo! We’re so thrilled with how well things went we will actively seek out other TH sitters traveling with their pets in the future. 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hope to see you guys again some time! Love, Laura & John, Cece & Reaux

Ellie was really communicative and supportive throughout. She sent us some lovely pics of our doggies whilst we were away, without being over the top. A pleasure to have in our home and we would not hesitate to recommend her services. Thank you Ellie
