Marcy Santos founder of The Right Fluff Pet Sitting

MARCY SANTOS

Founder

Hello, I'm Marcy, owner of The Right Fluff Pet Sitting!  I started this company in 2017 to bring together all the best aspects of pet care: innovative technology, reliable and loving staff, and professional training.

 

Before becoming a pet care pro, I did fundraising for a variety of causes, including animal advocacy!  I left the nonprofit sphere in 2016 to focus on pet care full time.  I've been a proud Rockville resident for 20 years and graduated from Richard Montgomery High School.  I went on to complete at B.A. in English at McDaniel College.

Hi! My name is Lauren and I am a student at the University of Maryland. Until I moved away for college, I had lived with pets my entire life. I love animals and I frequently stop by my parents house in Frederick to see my two dogs, Benny and Frankie. While college makes it difficult to have my own pets right now, walking, snuggling and playing with the pets I sit makes up for it. I look forward to meeting and taking great care of yours!

​Hi I'm Sam! I grew up in Montgomery County and after a brief time in Pittsburgh I decided to come back to the motherland. Alongside my passion for animals, I am a musician, music teacher, and ski instructor. Growing up I was allowed to have small pets but not dogs or cats. So, I sought out as many small animals as I could adopt. I got to care for fish that kept having babies, escape-artist hamsters, loud birds, silly smelly ferrets in my bedroom, and even an adorable sugar glider. I have always been drawn to the healing power and delight that pets bring. I got my first dog as an adult and I am obsessed with her. I named her after the song "The Mighty Quinn" because she is my bringer of peace and joy. She has changed my life. I know how important pets are and I am looking forward to helping you love and care for yours!

Hi there! My name is Christy. 
Born and raised in Montgomery County. 
I have always been a dog person and have had dogs all my life. I currently have a yellow lab and a black lab, their names are Leo and Tank. They mean so much to me so I understand how important it is to have someone take care of your fur baby while you are away.  
One of my favorite parts of walking dogs is seeing how tired they are once we return home because they had so much fun on our walk exploring and using their senses. 
I look forward to seeing your furry loved one each visit :)

Hi there! I’m Erin and I live in the Bethesda/Rockville area with my two cats, Felicity and Marjorie. I grew up with Basset Hounds, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and a cockatiel. Shortly after moving to Maryland, I started volunteering for a regional cat rescue where I learned many “Cat Care 101” technical skills. It was especially rewarding to help coordinate adoptions with loving families.  

Being a sitter is my way of giving to the pet and the pet-parent communities. It’s a pleasure to provide you with peace of mind when you can’t be with your fur baby.

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren!

I am a transplant to Maryland, who has had the opportunity to live in a variety of places! 
Throughout my professional career, I have always had a connection with animals between working at zoos and aquariums, performing marine science research, working as a veterinary assistant in a clinic setting, a positive reinforcement dog trainer for five plus years and most recently as a scientist in a laboratory setting. 

At home, I have a great dane, lab mix named Leif. He is almost five years old and is the sweetest, lap sitting big dog. He can be my adventure buddy and then the next minute my snuggle bug. I also have a cat named Bruce. He is nine years old and the friendliest kitty, who has never met a stranger he didn’t demand pets from. 

Since moving into the laboratory setting for work, I have been missing working with my favorite furry companions, dogs and cats!! I am looking forward to meeting and spending time with your favorite furry companions!

If anyone asks if I am a dog person or a cat person, I enthusiastically answer "both"!  I currently own cats but miss having dogs in my life and frequently stop on neighborhood walks to pet any dog that looks amenable to petting.  I  keep busy working with creatures of a different sort (middle school students) and love that profession, but working with animals is a nice break and change of pace.  I have owned cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, and a snake, and enjoyed caring for all!

Hello, My name is Isabelle LaMotte, and I’ve had animals for my entire life. I started my life growing up around dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, until we adopted our horses and started a small homestead. As of right now we have 3 horses, 2 dogs, 2 degus, 3 flemish giant rabbits, 12 chickens, and a number of freshwater/saltwater fish. However my love for animals doesn't stop there as I spent the last 5 years taking care of exotic animals at an educational rescue center where I handled and trained porcupines, kangaroos, wallabies, perrie dogs, kookaburras, tortoises, emus, and many more. Recently I've dedicated my time to pet sitting and farm sitting. I am pet CPR certified and have experience working with pets of various breeds and sizes, I am educated in administering medication and understanding pet behavior, and I have worked with special needs pets who may require more attention, such as old dogs and cats, or animals with physical disabilities. Please reach out if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

Hi, I'm Nora, and like all of us here, it goes without saying that I love animals! I'm originally from New Jersey and am a shore town girl at heart, which loosely means that you can invariably find me wearing sandals all year long. I have been in the DMV since 2003, spending most of the past decade living in Bethesda with my family. I have three small (human) children and two fur babies--a cat Pixie and a dog Mo. We are very involved in animal rescue and are a dedicated foster family, having fostered 53 dogs and 70 cats to date. When I'm not spending time with my kids or pets, you can find me photographing families and patterns in nature.
