Cat Sitters in Byfield, MA

Dan & Cindy

Cindy and Dan are real pros - absolutely wonderful! We feel really lucky that they saw our sitting request and pursued staying with Kona for our long 25 day trip. We had a zoom call while they were sitting in Asia, and felt confident that we could trust them with our dog and our house. Their communication before and during the sit was perfect and thorough. They sent us many photos and videos every single day of our trip, and indulged me in long exchanges about how much I love Kona. It was obvious that they gave her all the love during their stay too. Kona got to go on her twice a day ball walks in the national forest near us, and she got to go on lots of excursions with them as well. She's a lab, so we needed sitters who would exercise her multiple times a day. Cindy and Dan are athletes too so fulfilled Kona's need for movement. It was obvious that Kona was comfortable and she even seemed to be confused when Cindy and Dan left the house at the end. We are so grateful for the love and time they put into making it a great experience, and I hope they feel the same about their time in the Colorado foothills with Kona the chocolate lab. Thank you, guys!! All the best, and keep in touch!

Taylor

Taylor was such a sweet and thoughtful sitter. She was also flexible and communicative. I recommend her very highly!

Holly

Holly was the absolute best. I try to tell my own children to "always leave a place better than how you found it." And that's what Holly did. After exchanging texts and meeting Holly the day before we left, I felt so relieved knowing everything will be taken care of: our chickens, our cats, and our plants all got the attention and care they needed.

Nancy

Nancy was an A+ pet sitter. She’s a host as well, so she knows what people are looking for in a sitter. She had great communication, was totally reliable, and left our house in perfect condition. It almost looked like she hadn’t even been there! She was great with our kitty who was being shy and sad we were away. Nancy did her best to engage her and ease her anxiety. I would highly recommend Nancy. Great sitter!

Debra

Debra was incredible! This was my first time using the app and Debra helped me to feel so comfortable with everything! She’s the best!

Charles

Charles gave a lot of extra love and attention to my dog beyond what I expected. It was such a relief to know our dog was being taken care of so well while we were out of town. I hope to work with Charles again.

Eleanor

Eleanor looked after Pip whilst we went to USA for our daughters weeding. Pip was less than a year old so we were quite anxious to find the right person. Pip was well looked after by the couple and in extremely good condition when we got back after 2 weeks away. It was obviously also from the WhatsApp messages and photos that they looked after her extremely well.

Angela

Angela and Mike were excellent in every respect. We felt very comfortable being away and would love to have them back. And so would our pets!

Zoe

Zoe was wonderful to talk to and communicative throughout the stay — even though my travel schedule was difficult and. I wasn’t easy to get ahold of due to being in a different country! She left the place tidy and even threw the sheets in the wash on the way out!

Jill

We couldn’t be happier with Jill and Rob. They took great care of our dogs and were super communicative. Couldn’t ask for more.

Thomas

Due to a family bereavement, I managed to get Tom to look after our home and pets. Everything, despite being last minute and very little time to have chats, was as I left it. Tom was great!

Jennifer & Jephta

Jennifer & Jephta were wonderful sitters! We got daily updates of the cats with photos, which we love. Upon our return, the house was just as we'd left it- clean and tidy :) And the cats had been well cared for! We would happily have them again and surley recommend them for future sits.

Robert

We had Rhianna house sit for our two pups. Both pups are elderly and one has dementia, poor sight and doesn’t hear, although he does still respond to treats- LOL!
Rhianna  did such a great job with them that our pups really weren’t all  that excited to see us come home. 😅  
The house was immaculate when we came home and it was obvious that Frank and Bosley were really well cared for. We would certainly love to have Rhianna back anytime! Such a thoughtful and caring young woman.
Thank you so much Rhianna!

Manoshi

Sarah Jane sat for our 4 year old Persian Sugar, when we decided to go on a short holiday abroad. She was prompt, friendly and approachable from the start, and very kindly agreed to meet us at home for an introduction ahead of the sit. We were at ease right from the start and throughout the sit - she made sure to send us daily updates while we were away, and was always reachable when we needed to talk. 
We came back to a happy & content cat and the plants were also well looked after :) Overall we were very satisfied with the sit, and would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a knowledgeble and experienced pet lover.
