House Sitting in Ilchester

“Our animals were all so happy when we returned. After an unexpected vet visit the day before we left and additional meds and care, Shania didn’t miss a bit. She texted to confirm instructions and for guidance to be sure she got things right. We will definitely have her stay with our group again!”

Tammy B.

“We had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!”

“om Katherine was a great sitter. She stayed at our house for the weekend and gave us updates on our dog Penny on a regular basis. She was great and we will definitely be calling her again. Thanks Katherine!”

Kevin D.

“Keira was great with our old pup Toby while we were out of town. She was knowledgeable about care and Toby was in great hands. She gave updates and photos throughout the stay.”

“amazing sitter! very communicative and took great care of my 5 cats and 1 dog while we were out of town for the holiday. Would love to book again!”

“sara treated my doggies very well”

“Keira has always taken excellent care of our two kitties, and after we lost one of them earlier this year, this is the first time we’ve asked her to house sit and stay over (we worry our one will now get lonely) and per usual she was amazing and took amazing care of our boy.”

Jennifer T.

“Aryanna took wonderful care of our two kitty boys for a week! They were very happy when we arrived home and we know they were happy while we were gone with the pictures that were taken! Also Aryanna checked in daily with us to let us know everything was going well. The apartment looks the same as we left it, the trash was taken out, and packages were brought up without even asking! If you need a pet sitter Aryanna is the way to go!”

“Dorothy was great with my dogs, and sent me pictures each day I was away. They loved her! I was comfortable and had little worry about how they well they would be taken care of. She may have spoiled them more then me. Would recommend her and will be using her services again.”

Shelley L.

“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”

Christine G.

“Destinée was incredible with our kitties! Even our shy girl loved her right away. She was very kind and responsive and sent lots of photos. We will definitely be booking with her again soon. Definitely recommend!”

Hannah J.

“Abby is calm and Bailey is very comfortable with her. She gives him rest time and playtime, and he was sad when she left. He was very excited when she arrived and barked like crazy, but soon settled down. I’m very happy that I can leave the house knowing Bailey is in good hands with Abby.”

Michele A.

“Hollie is the absolutely best. All three of our kids just love her, hang out, and are their (sometimes unfortunately) true selves around her. She deals with our often cantankerous older gal and our troublemaker with aplomb, while still giving love to our little doll. There are no worries at all when Hollie is here with our babies!”

Stephanie P.

“Taylor and Austin were great! They kept me updated through the weekend with pictures, were super responsive, and I came home to a happy dog 🐶❤️”

Madison S.

“This review is a little late - but better late than never. Jason house/pet sat for us over the Christmas holiday and was great. From the first meet and greet with the dogs, who would normally bark and jump, his calming presence was amazing. They did not jump, a little barking but he walked in said hi to both by name and that was it. He took great care of our 2 dogs, 2 turtles and 2 fish as well as brining in mail, packages, etc. I would highly recommend Jason and hopefully will have the pleasure of booking with him again in 2022.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for many years. While growing up, I lived with my aunt, who had a Maltese that I helped care for daily. Through that experience, I learned the importance of maintaining routines, providing companionship, and understanding a dog's unique personality and needs. Although I currently own a cat due to my full-time work schedule, I have always enjoyed being around dogs and helping care for them. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I will treat your dog with the same kindness, patience, and attention that I would give my own pet. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I have successfully cared for pets during my lunch breaks by stopping in for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. After 5:00 PM, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime as needed. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available throughout the day to provide attentive care and spend quality time with pets. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine, and I strive to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. This includes feeding according to instructions, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, administering basic care, and giving them attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well. Although I primarily offer care in my clients' homes, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and any special instructions to ensure they remain happy, safe, and comfortable. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while respecting both the pet's routine and the client's home.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.

“Thanks Brent for doing such a great job caring for the pups and taking care of the house! After all the holiday travel, it was so reassuring to come home to happy pups. We’ll be in touch when we need Rover services. Lula is still looking forward you around every corner. 👏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾”

About: Hello! My name is Xin. I live in Ellicott City, Maryland, and hope to care for your fur-babies! I am newly-reactivated, but for the past 6 years I have fostered with the rescues Friends of Rabbits in MD and Penny and Wild in FL, so I have been active in the pet care and rescue community! I'd say I'm fairly active, going to the gym 4 days a week for strength training and running 4 times a week, so I have gotten strong enough to handle bigger dogs. I also love dogs that can run alongside me so I'm for you if you have an over-active dog! I've grown up with a dog, walked countless dogs of various ages, shapes, and sizes, have one house bunny and a former feral tuxedo cat of my own, and worked with caring for up to 14 cats at a time in a Petco! I'm also a rabbit foster and regularly foster and volunteer with local rabbit rescues and shelters - I have fostered at least 10 rabbits now and it's rare for my place to not have more than one enclosure at a time. My services include dog walking, day care, cat boarding and day care. I even have experience with rabbits with special needs, guinea pigs, and reptiles. If you need any proof of credentials, I would love to provide resumes, photos, references, and other proof of experience. To set up a meet & greet with me, send me a booking request! We can do either face-to-face or over video call! Planning ahead? I'm available for any holiday bookings this year. Contact me! I work from home teaching an online music studio and will have my entire day free until at least the coming school year, during which I will be teaching at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's OrchKids program as a Teaching Artist. I also spend some time at the gym and also run a lot; if your dog loves to run he or she is welcome to come along! I have a camera set up at all times for when I am away and use the app Alfred to track how my pets are doing, which you may access as well. I believe in open communication and constant vigilance when it comes to pet care- I see too often people being honestly audacious and trifling when it comes to pet care which is why I decided to reactivate my account after having taken an extended break from the platform (but not from pet care in general). I will send as many photos and videos as you require (within reason) and every request will be accommodated for to the best of my ability. All pets except dogs will be indoors only.

“Lisa was amazing with our dog Roscoe!! We appreciated that she kept us updated with pictures and messages, it was so nice to be able to take a weight off our shoulders and know she was doing such a stellar job! Roscoe loves her and her daughter, and we were thankful that Lisa also took the time to water our plants and herbs. We’ll definitely be a repeat client, I’d recommend Lisa without any hesitation!”
