Cat Sitters in Brighton, MA

Elena

Elena is a fantastic pet sitter, she took care of our two cats for a week with much love. They were calm around her which means she made them feel safe. She updated us with pictures daily and left the house really clean! Would 100 percent recommend Elena and would be delighted to have her stay at our place again!

Kathleen

Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!

Elizabeth

This was my second? third? time booking Lizzy and she was phenomenal - my dog got plenty of love and pets, frequent updates, and she left my place super clean! I would book Lizzy any time she's available!

Ora & Jonathan

Ora and Jonathan were wonderful! Such lovely people who looked after both Vespa and our home so well. I’d happily recommend them to anyone. Thank you both so much X

Michelle

although a short stay, we could tell our pup loved his time with michelle! she is communicative, neat, and enthusiastic - it’s clear that she loves animals. we’d welcome her back anytime!

Andrew

Andy was fantastic! He was communicative and extremely self sufficient. We could tell from the start that he wanted to make sure our cats had company and love during his stay! He left the apartment in fantastic shape on his way out, we’d gladly have him sit again.

Lauren

I couldn’t have been happier with Lauren’s care of my pets and home. Her self confidence was apparent from the moment she arrived, which left me feeling that all would be taken care of to my satisfaction. My intuition was correct. She went above and beyond my expectations. Just the right amount of updates and pictures kept me knowing all was fine in my absence. She left a detailed note when we returned as well as a sweet card and gift which was greatly appreciated although not expected. I highly recommend Lauren!

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!

Tara

Absolutely wonderful experience. Tara was able to come by in advance and see the condo, asked great questions and seemed to genuinely want to spend time with our cat, Shiloh. Perfect amount of updates and endless patience with us and our eccentricity! Came home to a perfectly clean space :) Tara was even flexible when our flight was moved up. Would be happy to have Tara sit for us any time, if she’s willing!

Hannah

Hannah was wonderful and took great care of our cat!

Kasey

Kasey and Alejandro were the perfect house sitters and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone! My kitties were happy and chill when I got home, the place was clean, and all was good in the hood. Kasey was very reliable and an excellent communicator both before and during the sit, asked all the right questions, and sent great pictures each day. I had total peace of mind and knew that the cats were very well cared for. I will definitely ask them to sit for me in the future and I hope they are available!

Elizabeth & Brian

Elizabeth was an amazing pet sitter. From the first phone conversation we had I liked Elizabeth, felt completely assured having her in my home and taking care of my two cats. She went above and beyond any expectations I might have had. She genuinely seemed to love and appreciate the quirkiness of my two babies... it really enhances one's time away to get texts and photos that really convey a pet sitter is having fun at the sit. One of my cats is an outdoor cat and it can be challenging to get him inside only because I don't have a cat door. Elizabeth went far above and beyond what was necessary to make sure Max wasn't ever outside overly long. In fact, he seemed to come inside far more with her here than when it's just me. She played with both of them and on her watch they started playing together for the first time. The house was clean and tidy upon my return and I would welcome Elizabeth back any time. You can't go wrong asking her to sit for you!

Erica

We got to know Yvonne and Jeroen as warm, friendly and caring people. We are more than satisfied with everything they have done for us. Yvonne had made packed lunches for our trip with all delicious homemade things, we loved it! During the nanny they took good care of our cats, chickens and rabbits. They not only got their food and water, but also a lot of attention and love. We received an update and pictures about the animals frequently. When a rabbit became ill, they took immediate action, made the right decisions, and took us right into everything.

When we returned we came to a clean and tidy house. And to our great surprise, there was also delicious food in the fridge that was made by Yvonne. She even left me some ingredients to make a nice dish myself!
All I can say is a top nanny, who we would like to see again in our house. I can recommend them to everyone!! Reliable, neat, worth repeating!

Klara comes recommended from one of our previous sitters. We prefer to personally give a quick tour of the house and introduce our cat to the sitter and Klara aligned her arrival time so we can meet in person. She has cats so she knows how to handle cats and identify/address any medical emergencies. Klara arrived on time and Rusty approved of her in under a minute 😸

After we left the house, she sent us regular updates with photos - knowing both Klara and Rusty are enjoying each other's company gave us a sense of relief and we had a stress free vacation. Klara managed to see some of the Nuremberg despite the rainy weather and even shared with us some cool places nearby which we didn't know about. She did a deep clean of the house and washed all bedding before leaving which wasn't really necessary for a short stay but that's her kindness.

The communication with her was always clear and she is quite organized and self sufficient. We wish her all the best for future sits, she is always welcome at our home and we highly recommend her 😊 💯
