Pet Sitters in Acton, MA

Koreena

Koreena was a nice person and good house sitter. I appreciated the time she spent with the cqts they were happy upon my return and i got almost daily photos and check in which was great. The house was clean upon return and she even washed my towels and sheets which I didn’t expect and appreciated. She was able to give my cats medicine and monitor their health, which was great. She monitored the cats well and would update me. The only small thing is she saw improvement and made the decision to stop a medication my cat was getting without discussing it with me (because she saw improvement in his eating and stool). I expressed disappointment, and she apologized however my cat regressed in improvement as a result. I would have handled it differently and kept him on the med or alternated days and just wish she would have run it by me before making that decision for my cat. Besides that I would definitely use her again and feel overall very happy with her care.

Jennifer

From the moment we met, it was evident that Jenny has a genuine passion for animals. Her warm and welcoming demeanor put both me and Millie at ease, creating an instant connection that reassured me I had made the right choice. I highly recommend Jenny to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy, and caring individual to look after their home and furry family members. Your pet will not only be in capable hands but will also experience a level of love and attention that goes beyond expectations. Jenny went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and loved. Regular updates, including photos, videos and messages, kept me informed about their activities and adventures. It was heartwarming to see my dog enjoying walks, playtime, and even some special treats—all tailored to meet Millie's needs. In addition to Jenny's exceptional pet-sitting skills, she demonstrated a respectful and responsible approach to house care. Coming home to a tidy house made my return even more pleasant.

Vamsi

Vamsi was the perfect Housesitter. Attentive, responsive, tidy and took amazing care of Pinny. He sent photos from walks, sent check ins and asked any questions before assuming. We’ve had a few Housesitter’s and he’s been the best. We would absolutely recommend him anytime and we know Pinny would be happy to have him back.

Brian

Brian was so easy to work with, wonderful with our dog Lulu, and really reliable. Thank you Brian! Hope you come back again!

Jennifer

We really loved having Jennifer and Cassidy sit for our cats. They kept us updated throughout the weekend on Puffin and Squirrel’s antics and it was very clear from the photos that the cats were having fun with their new friends! Jennifer and Cassidy were communicative and reliable. They left the house so tidy and thoughtfully started a load of laundry before they left. Most importantly, Puffin and Squirrel were well taken care of in our absence! Jennifer and Cassidy would be welcome back to sit for us anytime and we highly recommend them.

Carson

Carson and Alexander kept our big dog happy and the garden and houseplants, too! We learned that we should have been very explicit about expectations for exercising the dog, and use of the car. There were a couple housekeeping issues that they seem not to have addressed when they occurred. Carson and Alexander are an enthusiastic and pleasant couple.

Troy & Troy

Carolyn and Troy were wonderful house sitters. They bonded happily with Scuppers and sent great pics during the stay. They took good care of the place, were very responsive, great communicators, friendly and warm. We'd have them back any time.

Victoria & Patrick

Victoria and Patrick were easy to communicate and plan with and were great with Lola! They sent me updates and pictures daily and we returned home to a clean house and a pooped pup. Would definitely have them sit for us again!

Alyssa

This is the second time Alyssa has stayed at my place with my cat, Ace, and I can confidently say she is one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. Ace absolutely adores her, and it's clear that he’s very comfortable and happy in her care. Alyssa is kind, respectful, and courteous, which made the experience even better. I really appreciated the daily photos and updates she sent, keeping me informed and at ease. Overall, our experience with Alyssa has been nothing short of five-star. Highly recommended!

Mariya & Steven

Mariya, her husband and young son took care of our animals (horse, goat, chickens, cats, fish, turtle) for two weeks. They all pitched in and quickly learned how to take care of all the animals. Mariya was in touch daily via text with updates and/or questions. Her questions gave me confidence that she was concerned with doing the right things, rather than just guessing. It took our cats a little while to get used to the small human, but Mariya’s son was always gentle with them. We returned to healthy animals and a house in great condition. I highly recommend Mariya as a capable pet and house sitter.

Sasha

Sasha did a great job with our 2 dogs. She gave them lots of exercise and since she works from home was with them most of the day. It was clear Sasha loves dogs! Sasha was also very tidy and the house was nice and clean when I came home. We would definitely use Sasha again.

Theresa

Theresa is a professional through and through, and her dog, Snowy, is a total prince. From the moment we connected, Theresa was responsive and organized. While I was away, I enjoyed her daily updates but was able to rest easy knowing that Auggie and my home were in good hands. It's clear that Theresa is a natural with animals and an experienced house-sitter. Upon my return, Auggie was in great spirits, and my condo was spotless. Theresa went above and beyond, and I would recommend her without reservation.

Jennifer

We stood at Jennifer's house with the cute Nyx, the two loving and purring cats (especially Mabel), and the funny chickens. We spent a great time there, we had the opportunity to visit New Orleans, vibrating city of jazz and voodoo.
Jennifer was amazing : she picked us up at the train station, lent us the car (and sacrifice herself by biking in the cold !), and she host her before and after the sit. Thank you so much for everything Jennifer.
 I wish you all the best !

Elaine & Ben

We had a super time in North Shields, looking after the three dogs and their home. We had booked the sit a whole ago, and Elaine kept us informed about the loss of Trixie and checked that we would be happy to take on a boisterous puppy. The dogs were such individual personalities, and we loved spending time with them. The house is spacious and very comfortable and ideally situated for walking to the Tyne quayside and the North Sea coast. Dora was excellent to walk; happy to show us around and introduce us to every dog that came in sight!! Graham particularly enjoyed the cycling, as there were plenty of traffic-free routes. It was good to be in an urban setting for a change, and we really enjoyed it. Definitely a sit to recommend. Thank you to our hosts for the opportunity.

Tamsin

I really liked Tamsin, her home and most of all Touls the adorable beagle.
Tamsin was  welcoming showed me around her beautiful property and all info on caring for Touls, she kept open communication throughout my stay.
Taking care of Touls was fun, He loves car rides, good with other dogs at dog park and walks, he’s a happy pup, loves playing fetch, tugging on his toys, being outside exploring and guarding beautiful back yard, he is cuddly and loves belly rubs. Truly enjoyed my sitting with Touls.

Giles

I had a wonderful time with Blaze and Jet in Giles' and Marguerite's home.  Some wonderful local walks and longer runs along the River Wey, nearby shops and public transport, and a nice backyard with a comfy lounge area with cows grazing behind.  A lovely respite and friendly pets.

Abby & Austin

Abby & Austin are a sweet young couple who lives in the cutest fairy tail cul-de-sac. They have a beautiful and clean Townhouse with the funniest well behaved Bernedoodle.  Bernedoodle's  are known for being goofy or silly and Asher is very much so. He may take a while to warm up to you but once he does he's a loving and friendly goofy companion, Asher was always able to brighten my day just being his sweet funny self, I will miss my new friend Asher.

Anne

My husband and I stay the weekend at Annes beautiful home, with fluffy Nellie and Tilly, shortly after moving to Dublin. Her kindness, hospitality, and helpful tips were exactly what we needed to thrive in Ireland. Her pups are the best playmates, and great snuggle buddies for a cozy evening. If you get the chance to house sit for her, I know you won't be disappointed!
