This was our first time using make MMDP, and we cannot say enough good things about them. They have such a genuine love for the pets and care about their well-being as if they were their own. We left on our trip with great peace of mind every day getting feedback about our pets. They are truly an amazing team!!! You will not regret using their services to care for your pets!! read more

I have a cat that doesn't like people (except for me) and it's been hard for me to decide whether to board him or find a sitter. After I had made an appointment for boarding for 9 days (he'd be in a little room with a window to the outside) I decided to look for a sitter. I do not feel comfortable hiring any one of the (seems like) hundreds of teens or young adults that gig as a pet sitter; I was looking for a company that has experience and a good reputation. I thought the name of the company was odd, but I sent an email to the owner and she responded instantly and when I told her about my cat's issues she said she had the perfect "cat whisperer" for me. Done Deal! They came over for a meet and greet, we agreed to the terms and that was it! I left written instructions; the cat sitter checked in with me to confirm the start date. Every day I got a report (sometimes twice a day) and a report about what my little "angel" was up to. It was comforting to be so far away knowing he was being well cared for, personality and all. Best part, upon my return, everything was neat and clean- even in the litter room, so no messes for me to recover from. Thanks MMDP for helping me with dear George. I'll be calling on your services anytime I need a sitter for the precious little guy. Also of note, this company doesn't put you through an interrogation just to get an appointment, you don't need codes and lockboxes, and the prices were very reasonable. Thanks guys- you are the best! read more

Make My Day Please - Love, George - Pet Sitting Near Me

My cats and I love MMDP! I reached out to them a couple months ago for the first time after someone recommended them to me, and nearly immediately Ms. Blake got back to me. Within a few days she came over to meet with me and my cats, and to set up my pet profiles. The process was very thorough, she was very nice, and my cats loved her. Ultimately, Jessica was assigned to help with my cats, and of course, my cats LOVED her!! Even the elderly cat who is super shy eventually came out of his shell and allowed her to get close. The bonus is, Jessica sent me pix of them every day. When I got back from my week long vacation, everything was in order, my cats were fed and cleaned after and happy. I love MMDP and will be using them in the future. HIGHLY recommended!!! read more

Everyone is amazing here! So friendly and so easy to talk to! Neil is SUPER amazing! He took great care of my boys ( two Kenyan sand boas). If I was not moving away from the Manassas area I would definitely use Maks mg Day please again. The service and care is just phenomenal! Neil even checked my mail for me! I could go on and on but as you can tell from my review that I'm very happy! Lol! Thank you all so much! Also Catherine and Julie are the sweetest!!!! read more

Make My Day Please - Caliente the Kenyan Sand boa - Pet Sitting Near Me

See all

Catherine and Make My Day Please was immediately responsive to care for my cats for a last minute trip I took for a couple days. I also foster cats and kittens, and she was so supportive of caring for my foster kittens as well--all for a price that didn't break my bank. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking pet care, and I will be using her services again for any upcoming trips. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Catherine Blake and the dog sitters of Make My Day Please. Last month, I traveled to France for a language course. My French teacher's boyfriend runs a pet sitting company from their home. I decided to hire him to watch my golden doodle. I thought this would be a good arrangement given that they have a golden doodle, who is the same age as my pup. Needless to say, things did not go well for him there. He became physically ill -- vomiting, bloody stools, and constant panting. This was totally unexpected. This was not the first time that I left him in the care of others, including friends and Make My Day Please pet sitters (Melissa and Cristin).. The pet sitter wanted my dog to return home. To make matters worse, the sitter said that he could neither take my dog home nor care for him there. I was so worried about my pup. What was I to do given that I was an ocean away? I immediately called Catherine, who went into action. Within an hour, she had a pet sitter (Linda) lined up. A dear friend drove from Manassas to the 66/495 exchange to pick up my dog from the pet sitter. She took him to the emergency vet, where he was given a clean bill of health. Apparently, he became sick from stress. Linda then stayed with my dog for the next four nights. She helped nurse him back to normal. She sent me regular updates about how he was doing. My friend actually crossed paths with Linda at my house. She said that my dog was so happy to see Linda, who was very sweet and gentle with him. I really appreciate all that Catherine and Linda did to care for my dog. I will never use another dog sitting service again. Make My Day is the best! read more

All I can say is WOW! The ease of scheduling a meet and greet to coming home to happy cats was just wonderful. I needed someone to watch my "boys" while I was away for 6 days and I chose this business due to the other reviews. The daily rate was affordable and I love that not only the owner comes to meet with you and your pets, but the person caring for your cats comes as well. The thoroughness of the questions show that this is a group of dedicated people looking to meet every individual pets needs. I even let them know about a few obstacles that could occur (my cleaning ladies like to leave all of my doors open but close the litter box door) and Meghan went above and beyond to make sure this didn't happen while I was away. I got daily emails that eased my stress about leaving the cats, but now I know who will watch them from now on! read more

We needed someone to give our cat medicine while I was out of town for a week. My vet referred me to Make My Day Please. Catherine responded to my online request right away and matched us with the perfect person for our needs. I would absolutely recommend MMDP and will be using them again in the future. read more

Make My Day has great dog walkers and a great staff! My dog walker Jami is so great with my dog and he looks forward to her visits in the afternoon when I have to work. She walks him, plays with him, cuddles with him, and gives him lots of love! I'm grateful for Make My Day & Jami because I know he is in good hands when I can't be there. I get a text every time Jami walks my dog with how he did and what she accomplished during her visit. It puts my mind at ease. read more

Make My Day Please - This is my baby Clyde whom Make My Day walks while I'm at work and takes such great care of while I'm away! - Pet Sitting Near Me

Make My Day Please! was an absolutely wonderful experience!! We are new to the area and found them by seeing their sign on their car! After talking to them, we knew this was a perfect fit for our goofy but beautiful mess of a lab- Bo. We needed someone to fill the gap during the day when I was out of town and my husband was at work. Bo is an active guy and loves long walks and companionship. Make my Day-Please! became his new buddy. The owner came to our home to provide us with all their information and meet Bo. It was a natural fit and Bo took one of his favorite toys and curled up at her feet! I can honestly say "this was our easy button". Following each of Bo's walks, he received a report card which they left on our counter. Make My Day- Please! made sure to let us know how Bo's walks went and tidbits about the visit. He was always happy and content when my husband returned from work. In fact, I would go so far as to say he was quite spoiled by Make my Day Please! because he tried to make me go further and further on his walks when I returned from out of town! I would highly recommend them! If you are wanting someone who cares about your furry ones, is trustworthy, dependable, and flexible to your needs- easy button. read more

I found Make My Day Please after searching for a good alternative for my dog while we were going to be out of town for a week. I was extremely happy with the service and professionalism of MMDP. The constant updates through out our trip definitely was reassuring for my daughter being away from her favorite friend. I look forward to using MMDP in the future! Thank you The James family read more

Make My Day Please has been fantastic at taking care of my cat Savannah while I'm away for business or long weekends. They always accommodate my schedule when I call with very little notice. I love that Julie send me texts with pictures of her visits with Savannah and lets me know how things are going while I'm gone. Their prices are very reasonable. The invoicing process and online payment system is great! They have really got it together. I highly recommend them. read more

My dogs have always been spoiled and they are rarely left alone. There was a major change in our schedules and I believe I was more anxious then my dogs. I needed to hire a pet sitter and after talking with several agencies I chose, Make My Day Please, LLC. I could not be happier. Kat is awesome. She leaves lengthy, detailed notes but more importantly my babies are happy when I get home. It's as if the change hasn't affected them. It has been an adjustment for me but Kat has really eased my mind and I know my girls are loved. I would highly recommend Make My Day Please! Four paws up! read more

Just saying that this company, Make My Day Please; isn't enough. They are so much more than just your average pet sitting company. They are filled with passion and compassion and a genuine love for animals and the owners. Just one meeting with the owner of this business and further interactions . . . one comes to understand that she and the family she surrounds herself with to help people care for their pets is truly outside of anything ordinary. The level of care for pets and their owners is something you cannot find on any given day. Personally, I was extremely lucky to have found this company and am so incredibly grateful. If anyone has ever worried about who they leave their pets with -- someone to care for them while they are away; never doubt this company. They are extremely lovely and compassionate. I personally couldn't imagine anyone else caring caring for my pets. EVER. I always think of people who do a certain job. Don't do it unless your heart is there. This company is the epitome of what that exemplifies. I am forever grateful. read more

I found Make My Day Please (MMDP) when I started a new job and needed mid-day walks for my 14 year old Lab and 9 month old Brussels Griffon puppy. Savannah, the lab, needed extra care and the puppy had major digestive issues but Danielle and Catherine at Make My Day Please put all my worries to rest and the transition was a smooth one. When Savannah passed away in April, MMDP helped us immensely with another HUGE transition. Their sympathy and care were wonderful and I could not be more thankful that they were there during such a difficult time. Shortly thereafter, Danielle went back to college, and we sadly prepared for her replacement. Alyssa took over Spider (my pup's) mid-day visits and she has been AWESOME. Her energy and fun spirit were completely absorbed by my little dog and he has the best temperment I have ever seen. Alyssa's flexibility, communication, and kindness are great. I could not have asked for more in a petsitting service. MMDP's flexiblity and sheer joy in petsitting is like none other. Warmly, Colleen M read more

We used them a couple of months ago to look after a house full of cats, plus several outdoors, during a vacation. Was very impressed with the service and quality. From the initial walk through to get acquainted, to daily visits that included updates and pictures sent to us via email/text, and to the happy and contented looks on the faces of all when we returned, we could not have asked for more. Leaving pets behind can be nerve-wracking...with Make My Day, you can be assured yours will be well cared for and given personal attention. Highly recommend. read more

My Beagle, Corona, loves her walks with Kellie! They are very accommodating when I have to change the schedule last minute. They are extremely kind and caring! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Make My Day, Please, LLC. A surprise trip took me away from my beloved pup for a week and a half. Luckily my other half was diligent enough to select a pet sitter - and he chose MMDP! While other dog walking organizations might be more concerned with their bottom line, it is evident MMDP is not that! Their sole concern is taking care of your pet as if it were their own. They won't take a payment until the job is done, because they understand the pet's interest is the most important factor and a job well done is the focus. Thor fell in love with Terri (our sitter) and she was nice enough to send us updates whenever we asked. She even spent a little extra time with our boy to make sure he had everything he needed (he currently has a broken leg so this was greatly appreciated). Additionally, Catherine, the owner, is present for every Meet n' Greet along with your sitter should you request that they be there as well. I have never seen anyone so hands on throughout the process. It definitely gave me the assurance I needed once I knew I would be leaving my disabled pup behind for so long. I could go on for days, but, if you have to pick a dog walker/ pet sitter/ caretaker for your pets, Make My Day Please is your answer, hands down. read more

We started using them a year ago to take care of our dogs Lucky and Max. They have always provided an excellent service from their initial meet and greet with both our dogs. They were always accommodating to any requests we had and had no issues when we needed a dog sitter on late notice. We used them mainly for day trips and had Neil come over and feed and take them out. He did an excellent job and took care of any messes the dogs made. We decided to use them for a week long vacation and Neil came over to take care of them everyday, we were so worried because we never left them that long. But we could not be happier. The price was very reasonable and they got to stay in their home instead of being in a kennel. I highly recommend them. Unfortunately I am moving out of the area, and I wont be able to use them anymore, so hoping I can find someone as good near our new home. read more

We are so pleased with the services provided. I have 2 labs one a senior with a serious medical condition and a 10 month old pup both our boys are VERY well taken care of!!! They love Karen our walker (we love her too!) and she clearly cares very much about them. We couldn't be happier with her and the company. The owner is very friendly and responsive and my walker has gone above and beyond in terms of trying to educate herself for my senior with regard to his medical condition. I trust her implicitly with their care daily for their walks. We've also used their housesitting services while away for a week and all my animals (we have 5) were very well cared for as well. Highly recommend they are a very caring, trustworthy company. read more

If your looking for a quality company to take care of your pets you will find what you're looking for with MMDP. They're trustworthy and pay attention to detail in every aspect of the way they do business, care for your pets and your home! We've got a show dog and a service dog that we can't leave at a kennel or trust to just anyone. After many years of missing family outings where we couldn't take our dogs, we finally have a part of our family life back! So, MMDP is not simply just another pet care business, they are friends you can trust to do what they say they're going to do when they're going to do it! Thanks Mike and Catherine for taking care of us and for the quality time we got back as a family!!! read more

Never disappointed with the service, billing and communication. And being new to the area in need of a vet - they came through with recommendation for the wonderful Caring Hands in Bristow. I highly recommend Make My Day read more

Catherine and her crew at Make My Day Please did such a wonderful job for us! We had lost our house/pet sitter at the last minute and I reached out to Catherine the night before we were leaving town. She was able to work with me to make sure that my crew (dog, cat and fish) was taken care of and that we had a great trip without worrying! They sent me texts updating me on how our pets were doing and they really let me know they understood our pets' personalities :) I recommend Catherine and her team to everyone I know who needs someone reliable taking care of they're furry family :) read more
