House Sitting North Lamar

“Marissa did a great job dog sitting and watching our house. She was attentive to our dogs and seemed to genuinely enjoy taking care of them. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She sent updates and photos daily as to how the day went. The dogs seemed to like her too. We feel confident we found our person and will be booking with again. 10 out of 10!!”

“Pond ... WOW! There are many things worth praising about this incredible person and pet care giver. My fur baby, Gracie, is the luckiest dog ever! Gracie has Mom (me) and Gracie has Pond. Pond truly has the heart of an animal care giver, the sharp mind of a vet, and the empath abilities to sense and know what Gracie needed and when. Gracie's tail would wag and she would snuggle right up to Pond. I saw it! Gracie wasn't distracted by Mom; she wanted Pond's attention! Gracie has been aging over the time Pond has been caring for her, and Pond just goes with the flow of that. Pond will miss Gracies' sweet sixteen party because they're moving out of state. SO - if you are lucky enough to have Pond in your neighborhood in Austin, TXwe 2 ladies here in College Park MD will be jealous! I trust Pond with my precious baby girl. Pond stayed in my home or did visits, and even had the occasion to bring Gracie to their place. Hire Pond. They are someone you can truly trust with your most valued four legged family members! I truly wish Pond would be around to continue to love on Gracie until Gracie's final days (almost 16 is getting up there!) because of the way Pond cares for her - both in spurts of her energy and in her needing help sometimes up the steps or just her slowing down on walks. Sensitive. Responsible. Caring. Gentle. Fun. Intelligent and amazing Pond. Hire them!”

“Linda is the best. She treats my boys as her own. She’s super attentive very detailed and never fails to make me feel at ease when I’m out of town. The boys absolutely love her and she always leaves them in such a great mood. Will always book her!!”

Sydney M.

“Arturo was super communicative and enthusiastic to give our two cats the best care! He took notes beforehand of little details to remember for them and communicated throughout the sitting - we did not have to worry about our cats in his care. Arturo dealt with one of our cats medical issues very well (including giving liquid medicine 3x a day) and learned their individual quirks and played with them how they liked - Would definitely recommend hiring Arturo!”

Karleen W.

“As always, Molly was fantastic with Tucker. She’s very communicative, takes great care of our dog, and left the house very clean. Can’t recommend Molly enough.”

Jacob G.

“Katterin was amazing! She’s so reliable and very consistent in her outreach. She did an amazing job taking care of my dog and two cats while I was out of town. I felt very secure that everyone was being well cared for. Her service is above and beyond and I will absolutely be using her again in the future.”

Amber W.

“Thomas was great with my pups! He filled a longer, relatively last minute sit, for which I’m appreciative of. He followed instructions perfectly and I’m happy to have had the peace of mind that their medications and needs were being met while I was away. My younger dog is very particular and she took to him right away. Thanks, Thomas!”

Avery L.

“Our dog is fearful of meeting new people and Brandi's calm energy was great for him (and my anxiety about trying a new sitter lol!). She dealt with feeding him turkey through his muzzle and all the other details of a first meeting we wanted to cover. 10 stars on communication and reliability. She did wonderfully with Georgie on our 'trial run' before our longer trip and I'm so happy to have found someone we can trust our anxious fur baby with while we're away.”

Lee F.

“Came back to a happy pup! Mathew did a great job and I didn’t have to worry while I was gone. He kept the place clean and would definitely recommend him.”

Gail W.

“Erica did a great job watching our yellow lab Maddie during our two week vacation. She gave Maddie lots of cuddles and activity, gave us frequent photo updates, was easy to communicate with, and was very flexible when we decided to extend our vacation last minute. She also took great care of our house. Would definitely recommend her!”

Ashley J.

“Ashley was very communicative and always sent me a pic of my pup when I asked, since I'm a needy dog mom! Everything went very smoothly and I would definitely use her again in the future.”

Chelsea D.

“We had a fantastic experience with Lauren. She took such great care of our dog and truly went above and beyond while we were away. It was clear from the updates and how happy our dog was when we returned that he was well loved and well looked after. What really stood out was the care she showed not just for our dog, but for our home as well. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it, which gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring.”

Alex E.

“Andrew, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! You gave such care and love to Buddy, Ollie and Saber And my house and plants! My crew was well-cared for and that means so much to me. Bonus, the house was clean and sweet-smelling, the plants thriving and such a welcome to come home to. I can’t thank you enough!”

Deidre R.

“Averie REALLY understands dogs and what they need when their owner is gone. She really put her heart into taking care of my dog. I would definitely recommend her for taking good care for your dog. I will be asking for her help again.”

John B H.

“Marsha is a regular sitter and is just great. She really connects with dogs and obviously enjoys their company. She takes long greenbelt walks with Tani-dog, tires her out playing fetch, and somehow has figured out how to trick her into giving her the ball, which is virtually impossible. She also keeps the house spotless. Thanks again, Marsha.”

About: What Sets Me Apart I’ve had dogs as companions all my life, and after losing my sweet boy Dewey, caring for pets brings so much meaning to my days. Because my schedule allows me to be present in your home for a good portion of the day, it's wonderful to share space with a pet and keep them company in the place they feel safest. Here is what sets my care apart when I stay at your home: Senior Pet Expertise: I have a deep fondness and specialized experience with senior dogs. I know how to read subtle body language, accommodate slow-moving joints, stick strictly to medication routines, and give them the extra patience, gentle care, and comfort they deserve in their golden years. Preserving Their Normal Routine: Traveling can be stressful for pets, but staying in their own home minimizes that anxiety completely. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique personality and keep their daily habits, favorite sleeping spots, and walk schedules exactly as they like them. Attentive Companionship: Since I spend plenty of time on-site during my stay, your pet won't be sitting in an empty house waiting for a quick check-in. They get genuine presence, routine, and a fair bit of extra spoiling and pampering while you’re out of town. Conscientious House Guest: You can enjoy your vacation with complete peace of mind knowing your home is secure and cared for. I treat your property with absolute respect, keep things tidy, handle mail/deliveries, and ensure you return to a clean, welcoming home. Since I work online from my laptop, my day naturally centers around whoever has four legs and is hanging out near my feet! Being based right at your house throughout the day means your pets get a consistent companion to snuggle, chat with, and stick right to their usual routine. After owning a home in Austin for 20 years (and missing my sweet boy Dewey every day), I care for your home with the exact same love and meticulous eye I gave my own. You’ll come home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless, well-cared-for house—and I’m always happy to share local references from neighbors who know me best! My primary concern is for your pup to feel secure and loved. If it's the first time we met, I spend extra time at the start of the visit to get connected and determine their needs. We quickly build a bond of trust, creating a great experience for them.

“Rebecca was a wonderful Rover and stayed in our home for almost a week with 2 pups. She was a perfect sitter, sending daily check-ins and tons of pictures. We could tell how happy the pups were when we came home. Highly recommend Rebecca for your Rover needs!”

“Monique is Amazing. My baby took to her with no problems and I honestly felt safe leaving him with her. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Monique for loving on my baby and hanging with him.”

Nichole R.

“Jill is always incredible to work with. Cannot recommend her enough. Our power went out during Jill’s visit — she owned the situation and made sure our dog was taken care of while we were away. Thank you so much Jill!”

Jared E.

“Mary was wonderful! She sent pictures along the way during the week we were gone and we could tell our dog and cat were well taken care of. Would definitely book her again!!!”
