Top rated Boyds house sitters
“Omar was a house sitter for our dog and cat on relatively short notice due to a sudden death of a close relative. Omar was flexible and communicated very well with us. We greatly appreciated the morning and evening pictures of both pets. Highly recommended and we will be a repeat customer.”
“Felicia has only sat with our dog, Walter a couple of times, but she has been terrific. He loves her and is very relaxed when she is here. She is easy to reach and always on time. She will be one of our regular Rover sitters now!”
“Jeffrey saved the day with our anxious pup during a recent stay - while helping us sort out a FedEx delivery AND a problem with our deadbolt! He goes far above and beyond anything one should expect from a sitter and delivered amazing care for our dog who needed to be coaxed into eating and drinking while we were away. He’s also a great communicator who will keep you informed and share lots of pet photos and videos. Recommend Jeffrey highly, but please leave some time on his schedule for us! 😂 He’s a keeper!”
“Sabria was a lifesaver during our weeklong vacation over Fourth of July week. She stayed at our house with our dog and cat for a full week and took such great care of everything. Our dog is nervous and slow to warm up, and she was so caring and patient with him. Our cat can also be a picky customer and he was accepting head rubs from her almost right away. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the week and had great communication. She was very graceful during some technical difficulties with the house that were completely our fault. And she left the house spotless! She is an all around kind, compassionate person and we felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of things while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Sabria for house and pet sitting and dog walking. She is the best!”
“She took such good care of our 3 year old pittie for the afternoon/evening while my partner and I had conflicting work trips. Great communication for us nervous parents and lots of pictures. Our 75 lb pittie can be a lot to handle and we’re so thankful!”
“Addie was great! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs and home with Addie while away. She was very professional, sent a picture every day, and even put the sheets in the wash before leaving. Thank you Addie!”
“Thank you so much for working with us to take care of Mochi! He definitely seemed to be in better spirits under your care! The extra time you spent with him was incredibly helpful in managing his anxiety!”
“Caroline was fantastic with our dog Indie this weekend. She communicated clearly, was punctual, and kept us updated with pictures. Her responsibility and care made for an stress-free experience. Highly recommend her services!”
“My pups loved having Edgar stay with them. He sent videos and pictures so I knew they were happy and entertained. My crew is high energy and he was able to keep them busy/out of trouble. Will definitely book again.”
“Keara was wonderful with our little puppy Loki. He is very young still and quite anxious around people as he still needs to be socialized. Keara was fantastic with him, very patient and kind and they had a great bond. She was exceptionally communicative and we received detailed and reassuring updates, pics and videos throughout our trip. I can't recommend Keara enough for house sitting!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would :)”
“Dee Dee was a great sitter! She is very reliable, and responsive. She took great care of my pup and my home. I was in a potential bind and she was willing to extend her stay last minute if I needed it.”
“Mabelyn took very good care of our pets (dog and cat) and our home over a long weekend. We would not hesitate to ask Mabelyn to pet/house sit for us in the future, and we provide our highest recommendation! The communication was great from initial contact to meet and greet. We could tell from the pics she sent that the pets were well cared for and enjoyed their time with her. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for home, so could not ask for any better than that!”
About: Pawsitively Yours: Where your pets find a home away from home. I grew up with pets, dogs, cats, turtles and pigeons. I am the person who pet sits for all our family and friends. I currently work from home and I am available all day for walks and boarding. I have time to take your pet on as many walks as they need. I have a huge backyard and lots of space in the house for your lovely pet to feel free to run around and play or relax.
About: I understand how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind — your pet is family, and I’ll treat them like a best friend. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk, I’ll send you photo and video updates via text, email, or even IG so you never miss a moment! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have several years of experience dog sitting for friends and family. While I started this as a side job during school in Northern VA, my love for animals has never changed — I’m now based in Germantown, MD and still enjoy caring for pups of all sizes. I work full-time from 9–5, so I primarily offer evening walks, weekend drop-ins, and overnight sitting on weekends. I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so your dog can expect plenty of exercise and playtime. Some of my favorite local spots include Ridge Road Recreational Park, Black Hill Regional Park, and other dog-friendly areas in the Germantown area.

About: I've taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. I love their companionship. I also like to remain very active and get outside to go for a nice walk, so doing this with a dog is the best of both worlds! I work from the comfort of my home and my job provides me with a lot of flexibility. I will have ample time to make sure your furry loved one gets outside a few times per day and also gets showered with love and attention! I understand that every dog is not the same and might require different things! I'm happy to and will be vigilant in following any and all feeding and care instructions that you need! I want to make sure that your pet is as relaxed and comfortable as possible!
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have mainly taken care of my neighbors' pets, my friends' pets and of course my own. I have pet-sitted for dogs of all sizes, cats and fish. At home I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 3 ferrets, a crested gecko and a tree frog. I am reliable and punctual. I am caring and kind. I am also flexible and will follow any schedule or instructions. I am a college student at the University of Maryland and most of my classes are 5 days a week from 3 - 7pm. Besides my class schedule I am very flexible. I will follow any instructions that you provide as they are unique to each pet. If taking care of a dog I will never take them out without a leash or fenced in yard. If taking care of a cat I will make sure to keep them inside at all times. If you need me to take care of a small animal I will always make sure they are in their enclosure before I leave. I am very paranoid and will always make sure your pets are safe.

Linda N.
“Linda has been apart of my 2 year old English bulldogs life since she was 6 months old. Over the past semester she's been a blessing dog sitting Zoe for me every Monday and Wednesday from noon until 9pm. Linda was both quick to respond and quick to call if something came up or concerned her while Zoe was in her care. Having a very active dog, I am always looking for a dog sitter who will go above and beyond to tire Zoe out. As a student herself, Linda was pleased (at least that's what she told me) to take the burden off of me and play evening fetch with Zoe those nights. My dog really vibes well with Linda and pees a little every time she sees her; a thing she does when she's excited. All in all, great price for a great service. Linda is an awesome person for your pets life.”

Nathale was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was super professional and took the time to ask questions about our dog, Baki to ensure she could take care of him to the best of her ability. She went above and beyond- offering to take Baki on a hike, sending pictures & videos, and offering to stay longer than her scheduled end time. We are so grateful for her and the time, love and care she was able to give to our dog. We hope we have the opportunity to hire her again in the future!
Jazlyn did an amazing job house sitting for us. She fed and played with our black lab, Finn, and made sure he didn't miss us. She even helped Finn through a bit of a scary medical episode and stayed calm the whole time. She helped unload groceries from our grocery delivery and cleaned the house.... She really went above and beyond. We couldn't ask for a better house sitter <3
A’Gia always does an exceptional job when we leave our dogs with her! I am a pretty anxious traveler but I find I actually never worry about the dogs at all when we leave them with A’Gia. She’s communicative with us and attentive to the dogs very consistently and goes above and beyond. For example, this time we got a message from A’Gia that she tried taking the girls on a long morning walk on Monday, but our older dog was getting nervous around the morning commute traffic, so they kept it short in the morning and tried again later in the day when traffic was lighter so she could enjoy her walk without being scared. 🥺 This is just one example of how A’Gia demonstrates a commitment to not just checking the boxes and making sure they’re fed and walked, but connecting with the dogs as individuals and giving them the best quality care! I recommend A’Gia enthusiastically to anyone who wants to know they’re leaving their pets with someone who will really prioritize them!
Maria was amazing. She stayed for 5 days at my home with our one-year old dog. He fell in love with Maria instantly. She was kind to my children and played a puzzle with my daughter while we were packing up to leave. Maria was in touch daily with pictures and updates on how our dog was doing. We returned home today to a spotless home and sweet note from Maria thanking us for the opportunity! She is just lovely. Thank you Maria!
Leah is a total pro. She was amazing with our dog while we were away; she gave her so much love and attention. She was super friendly and communicative with us and incredibly mindful and respectful of our preferences and anxieties. Best dog-sitter we’ve had; we trusted her immediately and were not wrong to. I cannot recommend Leah enough.
