Top rated Derwood house sitters
“Don did a great job watching our Maggie! He was very responsive to us and attentive to our little girl. He would often send us pics of her while we were away. Communication was great and Don did just as he said he would. He even stayed later for us due to our flight being delayed. 100% hope to book Don in the future!”
“Kevin and his daughter were very friendly and diligent dog sitters. I came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Very happy with the service!”
“Omar was a wonderful sitter for my dog. I am very glad I found him. He sent me timely updates with photos of what he was doing to keep my dog happy and he followed all the directions I left for him. I was very pleased with the experience and would gladly use him again to watch my pup.”
“They were excellent. They were very professional and kept me informed about everything and sent pictures constantly. I highly recommend them.”
“She was so nice and took great care of my dog. My dog sometimes is timid among strangers but Heidy made the experience much better and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. 🌸🌸 10/10 recommend.”
“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!”
“Klaudia was a wonderful pet sitter. Sent lots of pictures and communicated frequently which we appreciated. Already booked her for two more trips we are taking next month.”
“Julia did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and two cats in our home (overnight stays). They all loved her and it speaks volumes that our anxious dog was completely at home with her. Thanks Julia!!”
“It. was my first booking with Xena and had an amazing experience! She’s so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and my baby was comfortable around her. The minute they met he was all over her to play and was really worried that with his high energy it may be too much to handle. Xena was so patient and kind with him which gave me the peace of mind and will be booking again in the future.”
“Jina took care of our dog and home for 2 weeks while we were out of town. She was amazing. Our pup was well cared for and I so appreciated her daily updates and photos. Jina gave our dog his daily medication, took care of our plants, brought in mail/packages and cleaned up after our pup who likes to bring food across the floor. I highly recommend her and will be looking to use her services again in the future!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Jenny provided! She was responsible, attentive, and truly empathetic with our two dogs, making them feel safe and loved while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home and was incredibly respectful of our space. We especially appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and how responsive she was throughout the stay. She even went out of her way to ship something we had forgotten at home—above and beyond in every way. Highly recommend!”
“Malek took care of our anxious dog during an extended trip out of state. He made a very good contact with our dog and kept me informed about how they were doing. Malek stayed at our house during the sit. Overall, I had peace of mind while traveling and I highly recommend Malek.”
“Tabatha was very professional and communicated well about our pets. They were happy, healthy and well cared for. She seems to really love animals and we are so happy she took such good care of the house and our pets. We hope to have Tabatha stay again!”
“Francis did an awesome job. Pups were super happy and she even checked in on our backyard chickens. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Christine was great with communication and lots of pictures. She provided great care of our older "puppy" by giving medication to him twice a day and was able to take him on multiple walks everyday.”
“Duncan was wonderful, very attentive to the unusual needs of our 8 year old GSD, and very helpful with his ball chasing addiction! We highly recommend Duncan. His dog knowledge, love, and attention to their needs is palpable.”
“Lina has taken care of our pups three times now. She clearly loves them and they return the love. On our most recent need, Lina responded with less than 24 hours notice.”
“Max loved Miranda! She followed all the directions and went above and beyond to care for max.”
“Kate took great care of our kitty, updated us with reports and pictures on how she was doing and was even able to get some pets on our very skittish girl, which speaks volumes of Kate’s ability! We were able to relax while away knowing she was well taken care of. We’ll be booking Kate again! Thank you!!”
