Pet Sitters in Timonium, MD

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!

Maurica (Ivy)

Ivy did a terrific job (again!) taking care of our feline friends. She left the house spotless, including doing the sheets and towels before our return. She communicated well both before and during the sit, including pictures of our goofball kitties. She even bought them treats (with permission) for Christmas! Everything was in excellent order when we returned and we would be delighted to have Ivy sit for us again!

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.

Erica & Darren

Erica and Darren have been on both ends of zeewoi-- as housesitters and as people who invited housesitters to their home. This made me and my husband feel especially at ease with them, and it's clear our cat felt the same way! They were communicative and left our tidy tidy. Come back to Charlottesville anytime!

Azura & Jonathan

Azura was A-mazing. On time, clean as a whistle, sent pics of our pups each da which helped us feel totally secure... Not to mention how friendly, likeable and prompt she was. Would highly recommend her. Choose her, in fact! You won't regret it.

Caitlin

Thank you Caitlin! I appreciate you keeping Apollo company. Everything went great, and I'd love to have you back.

Anne

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.

Felecia

Felecia was Great. From beginning to end, we were so very pleased. We were provided daily updates as to our pet and household. Felecia was very straightforward and transparent in all of our interactions and very easy to get along with. It was very apparent that our house and kitty were in the best of hands with Felecia.

Rebecca

Rebecca was an absolute blessing to have caring for my kitties while I was away. She went above and beyond to care for my home, humidifier refills, plants, grabbing packages etc… and was always happy to do it. Rebecca was also super communicative , willing to facetime prior to her first day, and sent me some great photos/ videos of my boys. From my experience, Rebecca will adjust as you need to make u comfortable while you’re away from ur loved ones ☺️ Also- my 2 cats loved her, cuddled, wanted to be friends and were super cute and happy when i returned (to a clean apartment!!) THANKS REBECCA

Liz

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

Nick

Nick and Ally did a wonderful job caring for our dog and house. They left the place just as they found it, and sent pictures throughout the weekend which we appreciated! Our dog was very happy to have them, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a house/pet-sitter!

Ayanna

Ayanna was very reliable and responsible. She communicated well with us. She loved the dogs including playing ball and walking them. The house was very clean when she left. We appreciated her flexibility as our plans changed.

Cas

We had a wonderful sit with Guinness! He was a great dog. Very calm and loving. The house was immaculate and in good location with a dog park nearby. Cas & Dave were so welcoming and very responsive to our messages. We highly recommend this pet sit!

Margaret JOAN

Louie and Emma were a joy to take care of. They were easy to walk, flexible on when you walked and fed them, loved to get pets and playtime, but could chill on their own just as well.  
Their humans, Margaret and George, were just as wonderful. You felt at home as soon as you walked in the door. They made sure we had everything we needed, including a vehicle to haul around dogs so we could go on wee adventures. They were happy to have my own poodle join the pack, which was lovely for me and her, and had the added benefit of a doggy playmate for Emma who is still learning the ropes as a loved dog in a home.  Her background isn't completely known, but there were obviously parts of her past that left a mark on her. As such she has a few quirks, but they are manageable, and her new family is committed to helping her become the best dog she can be. We were proud to be part of that journey for her. In fact I say that she is EMMAnently lovable. 
Old Man Louie is getting up there in age, but he is still King of the River Walk. He loves tours of his kingdom and making sure everyone has a proper greeting.   As long as he and his hips get a good nap afterwards.  
We would be happy to come again anytime. Thanks all four of you for your hospitality. 
Les and Piedle and sometimes Terry too. :-)

Lynn

It was really lovely to sit for Lynn’s friend + care for her gorgeous dog + cat. They were both adorable company +very well trained.  I was made so welcome by the hosts + felt very lucky to enjoy such a wonderful house-sitting experience. Thank you Lynn + Lou!:)

Carla

Best house sit! Pip and the cats are a dream, Pip has so much character and is so loving. The cats are lovely and friendly - Nea would just come for cuddles all the time. Super cute. House is amazing and location is wonderful. Looking forward to coming back next month.

Carla

Leo is a very active and playful 9 month old kitten. He absolutely loves water and he would join me in the shower, happily sitting in the bathtub while the water was turned on. I never saw a cat who loved water as much as Leo does! Inquisitive about everything, he would almost always follow me around the apartment to see what was happening. Although he is young, he already weighs 6kg. Beware when he tries to jump on your shoulder or use the tops of your feet as a push-off pad - he is strong and heavy! He is also in the process of learning the difference between rough play with claws out and gentle play with soft paws. 

Carla and Micky gave me plenty of useful information about Islington which is such a cool area and very handy to central London. There are bus stops just around the corner from the apartment and it is an easy 15-20 minute walk to either Angel or Highbury & Islington train stations. I also loved doing walks along the Regent’s Canal towpath.

One note, which is definitely not meant as a criticism: it took me a couple of days to get used to the live security camera in the living room. While it had been mentioned to me beforehand, I felt self-conscious being monitored/filmed but I managed to relax when I stopped thinking about it.

BRETT

Clegg is a sweet old corgi. He is very social and loves to be with you every moment! Very easy to care for.

The apartment is very clean and comfortable. The location is amazing! Close to so many amenities.

Brett is a great communicator.  Highly recommend this sit!!!
