Dog Sitters in Bernardston, MA

Lauren was wonderful in watching our home and pup, Chuck, for a week! She read our at home guide and asked questions during our interview and during the home visit. During the stay, she had some questions that she texted the first few days when she first got started about determining Chuck’s behavior (what whine/cry that meant he had to go to the restroom). She was really thorough in trying to ensure Chuck was less anxious while we were gone. She had tried a few dog tricks that didn’t work super great for chuck (rolled towel with treats), but appreciate her efforts! She also provided a photo and update for chuck each day, too. She went above and beyond in my opinion for 4 things: 1. She kindly put our bedding in the wash and dryer before she left, which allowed me to get home post flight around 10pm and not have to do it!, and 2. I unfortunately had Chuck’s food shipment arrive while we were out so Lauren very kindly brought up the box of food and placed/organized into the freezer. 3. She was able to make time to visit and meet Chuck for a 30 minute visit before her stay began which eased any concerns and the transition to watching Chuck! 4. She thoughtfully included a thank you note and treat that was ready for me upon arrival. Thank you, Lauren!

Janet is an excellent sitter! It was so easy to arrange the sit - she has great communication skills and we appreciated her flexibility when our dates shifted. Our dog was visibly happy in Janet’s company. She was clean and tidy. We appreciated her text and photos when we were away. We hope Janet will consider returning for a future sit with us!

Emily was a fabulous sitter. On her first night, she sent us a photo with one of our senior dogs and said her goal was to become Nellie's best friend by the end of the sit. At that moment we knew we had left the gals (as Emily called them) in the best possible hands. Her communications were excellent before, during, and even after the sit. She left the house spotless, refilling the wood bins for the wood-burning stove even more than we do. It is important to us to know we're leaving our home and our dogs in responsible hands, and we couldn't have made a better choice in that regard. We would eagerly invite her back. We highly recommend Emily.

Laura was great! She communicated well prior to visit and while I was away. I was happy to get updates about Trixie during the week. Trixie is a challenge (blind deaf and elderly) but Laura did really well with making Trixie feel comfortable and at ease while I was gone. Laura respected my home and took great care to be tidy and leave it as it was when she arrived. I’d highly recommend Laura for any of your pet/home sitting needs!

Elizabeth is such an amenable and reliable housesotter - it’s a breeze to work with her. She is very organized, clear about arrivals and departures, attentive to our cats and very good about sending photos and updates every few days. She works from home so she spent more time with them than we sometimes do, and both parties seemed to relish each other’s company! Elizabeth is also smart, thoughtful and resourceful.

Joseph and Rebecca are so nice and easy to work with. They took great care of our home and pets while we were away for a weekend. They were communicative, reliable, positive, and eager to take care of our pets the way they are used to being cared for. We have 3 dogs, a cat, and a rabbit so we have some pretty detailed instructions for our sitters and it's not the easiest sit, but Joseph and Rebecca managed it with no trouble at all. We came back to a clean home and happy pets! I recommend them to others without hesitation. Thanks so much!

Virna was awesome in every way. She is great. You and your fur babies will be happy with her as your sitter.

Reliable, organized, always available with plenty of updating about our dogs… once my daughter missed her toys at home and Eleonore placed them all on the floor in order to take the best picture and send it to me… Eleonore and Guillermo were the most perfect and sweet sitters for our animals and house! I strongly recommend them! You will not be disappointed!

It was a delight to have Tom and Annie return to house sit again. They love our dog and care for her as we would. Tom's daily photos were a comfort. The house was left immaculately. We look forward to another vacation net summer when Tom and Annie can return.

Dave and Nancy were wonderful. Took good care of our older dog and house. We felt very comfortable leaving everything in their hands for our almost two week trip. I would highly recommend them!

Becky and Macci were wonderful to jump in for a couple of days. They responded quickly and thoroughly to my inquiries along the way - before and during the sit. The house was in excellent condition when I returned and the cat was her normal happy self! I will certainly invite them again to stay here and can whole-heartedly recommend them to everyone.

Sheila took amazing care of our two cats while we were gone for Christmas. She gave our cats so much love and took great care of our house. She is a great communicator and was really easy to coordinate with. I’d gladly have Sheila back to sit for us any time!
