Top rated New Carrollton cat sitters
“Julie was amazing! She sent pictures everyday to update me on how my cats were doing. Julie did drop in visits to feed them, clean the litter box, and play a little. Both cats seemed very happy when we came back. Usually when we go away my cats can get a little petty when we get back, but when they get well taken care of, there's no pettiness. And there was no pettiness after this trip.”
“Another great petsitting experience for our kitties. We feel comfortable leaving, even our cat with medical issues, when Alexandra is watching them.”
“Carla is an excellent and attentive pet sitter. She watched my two male cats for almost two weeks and I returned home to two well adjusted mammals. I appreciated the daily photos. From the photos it looks like my boys liked her scritches which is always a good thing. Carla is reliable and I definitely recommend her.”
“I've used Sharon twice and will use her again. She take very good care of Alfred while I'm overseas for work at 14-day intervals. (for more on Alfred see www.kingalfredthecat.com) while I was. Alfred is not easy to take care of: he hisses and hides and generally has bed behavior. But, Sharon was very patient with him and sent me pictures and updates telling me exactly how Alfred was feeling from day-to-day. I worry constantly about Alfred but with Sharon I feel a lot better.”
“Nia was by far the sweetest sitter I’ve had yet! She was very attentive to my baby and even sent tons of videos and pictures as requested. She took her for walks and ensured she had fresh food and water each day. I would not hesitate to use Nia again for my baby!”
“Pond provided excellent care for Bo while we were gone! Very timely and communicative. We will definitely use them again!”
“Our cats were so happy. And Diana was a pleasure to work with.”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s excited to meet and spend time with your pet—whether that’s for walks, playtime, or overnight care. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from playful puppies to gentle seniors and everything in between. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and at home. I will take the time to get to know your furry friend’s unique personality and needs to provide a tailored experience full of comfort, fun, and care! Whether your pet loves fetches, belly rubs, or brisk walks, I’m here to give them the attention and affection they deserve as I’d hope for someone caring for my own pet. Looking forward to meeting them! I’m currently working on a flexible schedule so I will have time to accommodate your pet at any time of day! I’d love to make sure your dog is getting attention during your busy week or out-of-town weekend! I love sending photos and daily reports of my visits with your pets. Along with general and attentive care for your furry friend, I will make sure their environment is clean, provide brushing or medication as needed, and be responsive to any questions you may have!
“Would Absolutely Book Again!”
About: I have taken care of friend’s pets since I was a child as a side hustle. I pay close attention to the details of you and your animal’s specific needs to provide the easiest time possible. During the school year I am a grad student at UMD and can be very flexible. During the summer I work in office full time but am free after 6:30pm and on weekend. I promise to take care of your pet as if it were my own. I aim to offer your pet the most comfortable environment as possible, and be as communicative and flexible with you as I can.
“Very nice and communicative, asked for two visits a day and due to transport issues it was a little tough for that to happen but overall a wonderful experience. Thank you for taking such good care of my boy!”
“Dakota is so good with my puppy Maggie and adult dog Callie! She is an excellent communicator and my girls enjoy their visits very much - the pictures show it!”
“I went away for a week to cali and had no worries. Cam took great care of my little ankle biters. They even had wardrobe changes. My cat Poe even came out to beg her for pets and he usually stays hidden. When I got back the place was clean just like I left it. 🙂 As a sitter myself, I'm super grateful I don't have to worry when I have to travel out of town. Yay Cam🎉”
“Michele was awesome. She treated our cats like they were her own. I willl use her services again in the future.”

About: I don't have much pet care experience. I had a very energetic Jack Russell Terrier, Scotty, from age 7 to 14. As I was a kid, my parents took most of the responsibility of caring for him. However, I loved Scotty dearly, as well as other dogs and cats too. I'll do whatever I can to make sure your pet is cared for. I'm free for the summer! I'm available for most of July and August, except for the last two weeks in August. I start school full-time starting in September. If your dog is small or medium-sized, I can keep control of them on walks and ensure they remain safe while outdoors. With pet-sitting, I make sure to keep a close eye on your pets and adhere to any rules you have in order to ensure your pet is safe and cared for.
About: I have been a foster parent for many animals through my local human society for several years now. I have had my fair share of cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish throughout my life, including my super senior kitty named Casey who is 19 years young! I work from home on a part time basis while homeschooling my two kids (ages 14 and 11). I have several chunks of time most days where I can drop in care for pets. I am happy to conform to your pet care rules. I will happily walk, feed, give treats, crate, etc. during my time with your pet!
About: I grew up with a bunch of smaller pets, mostly fish and hamsters, and finally convinced my parents to adopt a dog when I was in high school. I moved away from home and miss her dearly, but I’m excited to bring the patience and love of animals I learned with my pets to yours! I’m experienced with shelter animals after volunteering at one for some time and am so excited to meet your pet! I have a 55 pound standard poodle named Roshe that I adopted in 2023, and will need to have a meet and greet before hosting your pet. I work full time, but can work from home 2-3 days a week, and my fiancée works from home all of the time, making it easy for the two of us to care for your pets! I've walked a variety of dogs at my local animal shelter for some time and can handle pets with a variety of needs. I'm pretty active and can get your dog all of the exercises they need while keeping them safe.
About: I am an animal lover and have had various types of animal companions throughout my lifetime. I have a quiet understanding with most animals that I come across and enjoy their company. I have sat for many of my friends and family and am the go to person when someone needs to go out and about but cannot take their pet family members along.

It has a doggy door which leads out to our fully fenced back yard and large dog run with a insulated dog house inside.
