Maureen
West Lanham Hills, Maryland
Never cancelled a sit, all boosters, non-smoker, traveling solo
Maureen was a treat from start to finish with our home and cat, Poppy! She is perhaps one of the most organized sitters we have encountered on zeewoi. Her resume speaks for itself. She was eager to sit, despite it being a somewhat short notice (about 10 days). Upon arrival we received pictures of Poppy to let us know that she was in good hands. We also got daily updates in the evenings, which we enjoy. Maureen stayed at our home during the coldest stretch of the year, and came prepared with heating blankets, etc, which we appreciated as we only have space heaters currently. We would be happy to host Maureen any time. Her communication and experience are certainly top notch and your pet will be in great hands!
Shauna
West Lanham Hills, Maryland
Non-smoking medical professional
Shauna was a wonderful house and pet sitter. I got occasional photos of Buzzi (the cat) -- enough for me to see that Buzzi was very happy. Periodic updates from Shauna revealed no problems. The house looks great; now I just have to keep it that neat and clean.
Elena
West Lanham Hills, Maryland
Quiet, reliable and responsible cat (and small dog) lady
This was our first time using a Trusted Sitter, and I'm so grateful Elena chose to stay with our precious pup. He's a senior dog that requires a little extra attention, and Elena was so kind and caring with him. From our very first zoom call to get to know one another, I knew Elena would be a great fit. She was very organized, told us what she needed to know, and was very flexible when our dates changed a bit. Elena sent several pictures of Beamer every day. My kids eagerly awaited to see what their brother was up to while we were away. He looked so happy in all of his pictures. She took him for walks and gave him plenty of cuddle time. Elena also took such great care of our home. We arrived back to a spotless house! Our experience with Elena was more than I could have hoped for using Trusted Sitter. It was like having an old friend stay over. I highly recommend Elena, and hope she will be available to stay the next time we go on vacation!
Olivia
West Lanham Hills, Maryland
Hi! I am Olivia, and my partner's name is Belrie. We look forward to meeting you
I am so fortunate because I had to cancel this sit at the last moment and Olivia and Belrie were extremely understanding. All our communications leading up to the sit were phenomenal, and I can't wait to have them stay with Pearl soon.
Todd
West Lanham Hills, Maryland
Caring, responsible and reliable house and pet sitters since Nov 2020
Once again, Todd and Janis were wonderful sitters. They were easy to communicate with, sent adorable photos, and took great care of our home.
Monica
West Lanham Hills, Maryland
Non-smoking remote worker eager to love your pets as my own!
Monica was an outstanding house sitter. She communicated well, took very good car of our cat, and was very gracious after a falling tree limb took out the internet. We would definitely invite her to sit again.
Sharon
West Lanham Hills, Maryland
Traveling professional with a love for new experiences!
Sharon was just a wonderful sitter. She has an engaging, positive personality and is full of energy. We were happy with the updates and photos of 2 content Goldens, whether on a trail or chilling by her feet. It is so wonderful to go away knowing your fur babies are loved and cared for in their own home. Will need to come up with a trip so we can invite this special lady back.
Jordan
West Lanham Hills, Maryland
Flexible, reliable, & adventurous married couple. Animal loving + Travel ready!
Jordan and Alexander were absolutely wonderful pet and house sitters during our 3.5 weeks away. Jordan kept in contact with us with pictures and updates about our dog, and it was clear both she and Alexander are real animal lovers. They took wonderful care of our home, plants and garden as well, and we came back to a clean and tidy house and a happy dog. If they had any questions, they would just ask, and they took care of everything that was needed while we were traveling. We highly recommend them for any house and pet sit opportunity, and hope they will come back to our home again next time we go away. Thank you, Jordan and Alexander!
Tammy A
West Lanham Hills, Maryland
Wanna-be dog mama wants to pamper your pup(s!)
This is Tammy’s second time here . The house is so neat and clean when we get home/ cleaner than when we left . Piper and Willow are hoping she comes back again !
Lisa
West Lanham Hills, Maryland
English/Theater Teacher (remote), Animal Spoiler, Humane Society Volunteer
What a great experience we had with Lisa. She was so good with Cella. She was very tolerant of Cella's early rising. She's a tiny little thing, but has a big personality and knows what she wants. Lisa was so good at reading her needs. We were able to have a zoom interview with Lisa before we confirmed the sit. She stayed in touch with us daily and kept us updated on how things were going. When we arrived home, Lisa had washed all of the bedding and towels. She vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. We couldn't be more pleased with Lisa as our sitter for Cella. We hope we'll be able to have her again. She was awesome.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Daniel
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Claudia
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
KATHLEEN
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Adrienne
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!

Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Olivia
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Monica
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Inma
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Marni
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Edward
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward

C-PUP Pet Sitting & Dog Walking
Opening Hours:
Recent Reviews:
We've been working with C-PUP for dog walking and dog sitting for over a year now. If you are looking for a walker or in-home sitting service, I'll assume that your fur family members are incredibly important to you and you want to make sure they are getting the best care possible. C-PUP provides just that. They are incredibly professional, well-organize, thorough and meticulous when it comes to understanding what your pet needs for care. We have three dogs of various ages, including a senior dog that requires extra-special care and C-PUP is incredibly attentive to all of their different needs. They are wonderfully communicative as well, especially during over-night pet-sitting. Your fur family will be in wonderful hands with C-PUP.
Over the years, all of our cats have been well taken care of by C-Pup. They are a pleasure to work with, trustworthy, and they always keep us posted (text msg and e-mail) on how things are going with our fur babies. Also, for us what is very important is that they are a local neighborhood business. Being local means being able to provide their services quickly.
I LOVE C-PUP! We have used them over the past few years and they are fantastic! Shannon (owner) is very professional, thorough in interviewing dog(s) owner(s), getting detailed information on what the needs and desires are of owners and pets!!! She is incredibly organized and meticulous in ensuring that pets and owners may leave each other with an easy mind. All of her staff have been generous, patient, lovely people who treat us (humans and pets) with great care! A detailed report card is left at each visit outlining the activities our dogs performed, their affect, and notes on the overall visit. We have traveled and used C-PUP for home stays and also as a dog walking service. Our dogs have become so familiar with C-PUP staff that it's as if another family member is with them. Wonderful, wonderful people and service. I can't say enough good things about Shannon and C-PUP! I recommend them to anyone and everyone expressing an interest in pet services. Our dogs love them; we love them!
C-PUP has been walking our two dogs for over 2 years and they both still run to the door to great C-PUP's walkers every time they come to the house. They've been very easy to work with for both their dog walking services and their pet sitting services. C-PUP is super responsive, and incredibly flexible when plans change at the last minute. I can't recommend them enough!!
I have used C-PUP for several years now, and I am pleased and thankful that I can really count on them to provide great care to my pets when I'm out of town! I'm the proud mom of two kitties, and C-PUP has been excellent in their care of the pets. The owner is responsive, the prices are very reasonable and the staff that care for my guys provide a full report upon return, with some personalized notes so you know they are not just in and out, but truly care for your pet, which is priceless. They've always addressed my needs and are very professional. I could not be happier, and relieved that if its not me, its C-PUP!
We have been clients of C-PUP Pet Sitting & Dog Walking for over 7 months and have been consistently pleased with the service provided. Shannon is responsive and professional. Our dog walker, Emily, is terrific. Our dog is always delighted when she arrives for his daily walks and play. We have also used C-PUP at least three times for pet sitting and have no hesitation to continue to do so. Shannon asks for details, such as when we will depart and when we are expected to return. She makes sure we have returned when expected, so our dog is not alone or missing dinner. Shannon's attention to detail gives us peace of mind. We are very satisfied customers and are grateful to have such a terrific provider to help keep our dog happy and healthy and well-exercised. We highly recommend C-PUP.
C-Pup is fantastic! We had someone stay overnight with our pets while we were gone and she did a great job. Typically when I go away I worry about our pets, but with C-Pup we got frequent updates and I knew they were in good hands. When we arrived home our cats and dogs were well-adjusted and excited to see us. I can't imagine going on vacation and having anyone else stay with our pets. I highly recommend C-Pup.
The team at C-PUP has been taking care of my Golden Retriever, Breeze since we brought her home 4 years ago. While my husband and I worked in full-time jobs during the day, we had multiple scheduled walks for her energy level. During that time, Breeze was so well cared for and loved, just as we would have done if we were there. As I transitioned to full-time work from home, I now call on C-PUP for our overnight sitting needs. When we go out of town, whoever stays with Breeze loves her just as much as we do. They provide detailed notes, pictures/updates and take care of any worries we have while we're away. I would recommend any of their services if you wish for your pet to receive the highest quality of care when you can't do it yourself!
We've been using C-PUP to look after our cats for several years, and we've always had an outstanding experience. We get email updates once or twice while we're away. We arrive home to find a written daily log of feeding, meds, visits, etc. I can recommend them without hesitation.
We’ve used C-PUP both for cat sitting and dog walks and always come home to happy pets! Shannon and Doug are quick to reply to email and provide regular updates and photos on our pet’s care. Their services are very professional and highly recommended!

I am so thankful for the care my pet Chili received at Bowie Pet Sitting. Shannon went above and beyond to ensure my fur baby was well taken care of while I was away. She is professional, attentive, and kept me updated with photos and messages, which I really appreciated . I’ll definitely be using their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy pet care!
Shannon was so great! We met her and saw her home before deciding to board our chihuahua, Dash with her. Shannon is very knowledgeable about dog care and answered all of our questions thoroughly. Dash got personal attention throughout the day and cuddles in the evening. Shannon sent daily updates with pictures, reassuring us that he was doing well while we were gone. We couldn't have asked for better care for our little guy!
Our family has three small dogs that span a variety of ages (from 17 to 4!) and we travel a few times a year. With the stresses that come with traveling, the care and safety of our dogs is not one of them. The overnight care they receive via Shannon and Doug is even better than having them stay with family or friends. They are so attentive to our dogs' every and varied needs. Prior to the overnight stay, Shannon takes a lot of time to get to know the dogs needs and asks all the right questions. While we are away, we get great updates and photos — very reassuring when you are a hemisphere away! I'm especially heartened by Shannon's expertise with small dogs as this is an important factor for me when I look for caretakers for our pups. We lovingly spoil our dogs and we're so happy to have found care for them that knows to do the very same!
Bowie Pet Sitting was absolutely wonderful, dealing with Shannon was delightful. They were detail oriented, professional, friendly, efficient & just an absolute pleasure. Her & her husband took very good care of our cat & the daily update with pictures really eased my mind while gone. I also loved that she requested a quick email to confirm we made it back home safe & sound. When we got home we had a content, well cared for & happy cat. Also a very nice log of what was done everyday & a welcome home message. I highly recommend Bowie Pet Sitting, they are the absolute Best!!! Next trip away I'm definitely using them again. Thank You So Very Much Shannon & Doug, you're the best!! C.Williams
Shannon and Doug have taken care of two generations of cats in our family. They were kind and caring with our aging cats and our new kittens. I love to travel and feel secure knowing they are there for our pets. Shannon is highly detail-oriented and checks carefully to make sure she is familiar with all aspects of the cats' care. Shannon's emails with photos give us a smile and reassurance that all is well. She is quick to respond to emails and accommodating to our requests. The best testimonial comes from our shy Bengal boy cat, who typically avoids visitors, but begs Doug to pet him.
Our family has been fortunate to have pet sitting services from Shannon and Doug’s team for the last 4-5 years! Our two cats need extra special care and sometimes require extra attention, so when we’re out of town, we need pet care we can rely on. The Bowie Cat team always delivers, provides our cats with an appropriate amount of socialization, always follows our cat care instructions, and sends us update pictures while we’re out of town. Once, we were gone for two weeks and when we came home, it was like we hadn’t left - in other words, our fur-babies were happy with the care they received. 5 star service and wonderful people to work with!
I have been using Shannon and Doug’s pet sitting service for years before they expanded to Bowie. If you want complete peace of mind about your pet’s welfare while you are away for work or vacation, look no further. My job requires me to travel for days at a time, so having access to a reliable pet sitting service is key. Shannon and Doug offer affordable rates, dependable service and make sure to know all the pet’s needs, preference and habits well in advance. They will contact you during your absence, sometimes with photos, to let you know how your pets are doing. On return, you’ll receive a record of visits and fun observations about your pet’s wellbeing during your absence. For anyone with an older pet, or one with a medical conditions, Shannon and Doug are simply the best in the business! I recommend them to anyone needing support in caring for their animal companions.
We've had nothing but great experiences with Doug and Shannon's cat sitting service. They've looked in on our cat several times over the past few years when we've taken trips out of the country. It puts our minds at ease to know that they are taking good care of our cat while we're away. I appreciate that they send cute photos and take time to play with her. Each time we've returned, our kitty has been in really good spirits, which lets us know she's been super well cared for. Doug and Shannon are patient and reliable with detailed instructions and very responsive by email. I had used several other DC-area cat sitters before, but I wouldn't think of using anyone else now. Highly recommend!
Shannon and Doug have cared for my dog for years and run a highly professional service. I enthusiastically recommend Bowie Boarding Retreat.
I have been using this pet sitting service for around 13 years - ever since it first started up in the College Park area. They have always been responsible and have given attention to my cats (fed, brushed, and petted) such that the cats were happy and relaxed when I returned.
Higgins and Friends Pet Sitting, LLC

Recent Reviews:
Moving to a new area I was eager to find a cat sitter who would care for our cats at our home during our many travels throughout the year. Higgins was recommended by several in our community and I can see why. Jill visited our home for a meet and greet; answered all of our questions and got a “two paws” up approval from our cats as they rubbed against her legs with their endorsement. Her staff member Linda is outstanding! She sends photos of every visit, administers medicine twice a day for one of our cats and provides plenty of cuddle and play time. The website is user friendly and allows me to schedule visits, receive visit confirmation, ask questions and receive responses . . . all within 24 hours. In addition, both Linda and Jill have provided helpful information on caring for our cats for which we are grateful. I rate Higgins 10 out of 10
Higgins and Friends Pet Sitting is amazing! We have 2 cats and 2 birds, and one of the cats needs medications twice every day. The team from Higgins and Friends are true professionals, and they specialize in cats and giving meds! It's wonderful that they are a team, so they can back each other up if necessary, giving us real peace of mind that our pets will never miss a visit. Recently, we were away for a whole week. Every day we received notes and pictures with updates about our "babies." When we got back home, we couldn't believe how tidy the place was. They had cleaned around the bird cage and all the used cat and bird dishes were clean and ready for the next feeding. And any cat owner knows that cats can "mess up" with their hairballs and such, but there was no sign of any issues anywhere. The house and our pets looked great! We've worked with Higgins and Friends a couple of times now, and we are VERY impressed! We can't recommend them highly enough!
Absolutely the best sitter ever. We have a diabetic dog and Jill has done such an amazing job taking care of her whenever we need to go out of town, or just out for the evening. She has always been available, even on occasions with such short notice. She truly cares for pets and we are more than thankful for her.
I hired Higgins and Friends several times to feed and interact with my elderly cat while I was out of town. More recently Kyle started medication to be given twice a day which Linda handled without difficulty. I am thrilled I found this service. My mind is at ease while I am away. Linda, the person who cares for my cat, stays in touch (often sending photos), takes time to interactive and play with Kyle, scoops the litter box daily, and is responsive to questions and concerns. I highly recommend Higgins and Friends.
I feel like words cannot capture all the wonderful things I want to say about Jill and the care she provided to my fur baby ,Fred. Fred was unfortunately diagnosed with kidney failure and Jill has provided daily much needed care, including hydrating Fred with subcutaneous fluids and medication administration . Fred is regularly stand off-ish with anyone other than myself and my husband but Jill quickly won him over. If you are looking for extraordinary care, do not hesitate to consider Higgins and Friends Pet Sitting for all of your pet care and sitting needs!! P.S. Jill we could never thank you enough. Valerie Baldridge
My vet recommended Jill to help me give my old boy shots. This was in 2021 and she still comes out to cut nails and shave my new little boy. Highly recommend!!!
I really can't say enough good things about Jill and Higgins and Friends Pet Sitting. Jill and her carefully selected team of pet sitters are diligent in their care and strive to meet any need including specifically timed visits to accommodate medications, senior pet potty schedules, meal times, etc. They are great about checking in and sending updates and pictures. Our sitters were regulars at our house and I think our dogs were generally more excited to see them than us since they were the food, fun play and cuddle people. When we recently moved away, finding pet care was in my top 3 worries. I know we'll be hard pressed to find anyone as reliable and dedicated as Jill and her team. I HIGHLY recommend Higgins and Friends Pet Sitting!!
Higgins and Friends have been our trusted pet sitters for a few years now. I was first drawn to H&F due to the fact that they specialize in cat care. We have two cats, one who needs medication daily. I always know my fur babies are in excellent hands when we are out of town. Our cats are our family and that peace of mind is immeasurable. I am so thankful we have Higgins and Friends to count on!
I had a family emergency Saturday at 4.30 pm and needed to run to the ER. I contacted Jill for emergency dinner feeding of my 2 resident cats and a friend star kitten. All 3 eat different food! Jill jumped right on it and kept my cats from starving since I didn't get home until close to 10pm. Jill’s GREAT!
Jill @ Higgins and Friends is amazing! She always goes above and beyond expectations. I love that Jill has experience as a vet tech and brings her expertise and wisdom to our home for the care of our pets. She hands down is a great asset to our family and we always can go on vacation knowing our furry and feathered family members are in great care. When we added chickens to our family Jill was willing to give it a go and has proven to be a wonderful caretake for "our girls". She loves taking the time to watch them and their chicken antics. We wouldn't want anyone else caring for our critters. Higgins and Friends all the way!!!
