Pet Sitters in Cambridge

Olivia

Olivia has sat with our doggos twice now and we couldn't be more pleased. She is loving yet firm with our girls - and one of them is rather "enthusiastic" so firm with that one is such a benefit! Olivia got to know the neighbours through dog visits and everyone of of them says Olivia is great! Not only were the dogs well looked after, the house was in great shape when we returned. We feel blessed to have found Olivia to look after our dogs and our home!

Margaret & Tim

It was very evident that Margaret and Tim took loving care of Jasmine, Mindy, and the chickens. Happy, content, lots of walks, cuddles, and attention....all my doggies' favourite things. The hen coop was immaculate and the hens were all smiles too. Please add chicks to your resume. You handled the 5 fluff balls beautifully. Excellent communication throughout and we certainly enjoyed receiving the photos and updates. Our home was neat and tidy and the bed sheets and towels were laundered. Very much appreciated. When returning home after a little get-away, it's wonderful to walk in and continue our daily routine. We highly recommend Margaret and Tim as pet and house sitters. They are confident, knowledgeable, and thorough. Perfect pet and house sitters. We hope our paths cross again. Good luck on your house sitting journey. Kind regards, Ilene and John

Miriam

I really wanted to leave a five star review as I have with every other sitter we've had, as Miriam was very lovely and said she loved our dogs. But the lost house key was a big issue for us. I'll start with the positives: -I had a great first chat with Miriam and was happy to have her at the house; she was pleasant and very flexible to change her arrival by a day when I messed up the dates, so I was grateful for that -She said she regularly took our dogs to the off leash park (which they love) -She left the kitchen and most of the house tidy -The plants were all in good shape -The cat was happy and healthy Less positive: -She lost our house key and seemed a bit cavalier about it; she didn't offer to pay for a replacement key or pay for rekeying the locks (which I now need to do) -She didn't communicate much during the whole sit unless I reached out; I never heard anything about the cat, and I didn't find out until days after that our 8mo puppy had been left unsupervised and uncrated for hours and had eaten an entire tin of liver treats; luckily she didn't get into something more dangerous/toxic -Our dogs were unusually starving when we got home, with both eating multiple servings of food that night (very weird for both of them as they are not big eaters) -There was feces in one toilet that had very likely been there for days; I had to scrub the toilet multiple times -The dirty bed linens were tossed on our bathroom floor -There were many bags of dog poop piled in our front garden -There were two dried puppy pee stains on one dog bed and one on the front door mat (either missed or ignored?) -Almost nothing on the zeewoi post-sit cleaning checklist had been done (I certainly don't expect a professionally cleaned home, but I always hope it to be as clean as I left it) As we've had many great sits previously, this was quite a departure from our normal zeewoi experience. And I'm guessing Miriam was likely overwhelmed with three dogs, as she also had her own puppy with her. But the loss of the house key and unusual intense hunger in both dogs were especially unsettling for us.

Anna

Anna is wonderful! My sweet pup was well loved and it made my time away easier knowing she was having fun with Anna. I got pictures and videos regularly and felt confident that all was well on the home front. And also took great care of our home and plants. She is a gem and I recommend her without reservation!

Sarah and John

Sarah and John looked after Della and our home for a 2nd time. All went well. Sarah kept in touch and sent pictures. Our Della has a new friend. What a wonderful feeling to go away and know your pet and home are in such capable hands. Bob & Cora McDonald

sheila

Shelia is responsible and caring. She sent me updates many times each day. My pal Joey was totally enamored by her. She is punctual. She responds quickly to messages and phone calls. The apartment was left in as good if not better than when I left. SHE is welcome to visit any time she comes back to New York City.

Jeff

Jeff was a fantastic guest and pet sitter. He is communicative, flexible, friendly and very responsive. It was a pleasure having him stay and we would love to have him back anytime.

Jonathan

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my home and pets, Selkie and Puff, to Jonathan while I was out of town. It's not always easy to hand over the keys to one's sanctuary, especially with pets that are more like family, but with Jonathan, I had no concerns. Jonathan has a natural ability to connect with animals, and both of mine miss him terribly! Throughout my time away, Jonathan was proactive in his communication, sending me occasional photos and updates, ensuring I was well-informed without overwhelming me. My house was returned to me in immaculate condition. It was evident that Jonathan respects the spaces he's entrusted with and goes above and beyond to maintain them. There's something to be said about returning to a home that feels just as you left it, if not better. If you're seeking a housesitter who is both attentive to your pets' needs and respectful of your home, Jonathan is an excellent choice! His care and professionalism stand out, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of such services!

Colleen & Michael

We are so grateful to Colleen for taking care of our fur babies! She was very organized and well prepared with questions. She updated us regularly on the day-to-day with our pets and left the place sparkling clean. Thank you!

Nathan

Nathan was a fantastic sitter from start to end. He communicated well before the sit and came over to meet the animals and us in person. The animals were happy with Mal even showing her bellly which she only does when really comfortable. I would have Nathan back anytime.

Amelia

This is the second time Amelia sat for me. She’s great with my baby and she puts up with my constant texts updates. Chance likes her and that’s the most important for me. Amelia is always welcome to sit for me and my baby whenever

Sarah

Sarah is unbelievable! She was super kind, communicative, and loving with my pets. When I came home my house was spotless. She’s a true treasure!

Sue

We sat for Bosley and Roxy for 16 days in a lovely section of Christchurch.  We were conveniently located for access to the city center, Botanic Gardens, Hadley Park, Spencer Beach, and Groynes dog park.  Bosley is an active and, might I add, beautiful Springer Spaniel/Retriever mix who loves to chase balls, munch on bones, check out what you're cooking, and wrestle with his toys.  He loves the beach, is great with other dogs, and enjoys his walks. He is a real beauty with a few challenges which he will no doubt grow out of as he matures (he was seven months old and not neutered when we house sat).  Sue and Steve are wonderful laid back hosts and easy to chat with.  We enjoyed their company very much.  Their house is comfortable and the bed was divine.  Roxy, their sweet older cat, kept a low profile in the front yard keeping out of Bosley's way.  She had a window to hop into at night so joined us for bedtime while Bosley had his own separate space in another part of the house.  Sue is so easy to chat with; she has had amazing travel experiences.  All in all...it was wonderful.

Jessica

I had an amazing experience housesitting and petsitting for Jessica and Danny. From the start, they were so welcoming and considerate. From the little things like sticky note labels on the cabinets thanks to the kiddos to big things like the great communication they kept with me before and during the sit, it was an awesome all-around sit! Their home is so lovely and comfortable in a beautiful community with opportunity to use the community gym and swimming pool.

Bindi is a seriously cool cat! She has a ton of personality and really loves people. From when I first arrived, Bindi wanted to be around me when she wasn't outside on her adventures. She is independent but appreciates affection and is overall such a sweet cat. If you're an animal lover you will enjoy getting to know her!

A nice bonus – before my arrival, Jessica and Danny sent me an awesome list they made of things to do and see in the area, which helped me really immerse myself in the amazing things that the Boynton Beach/Delray area has to offer. They really care about you having a great experience!

If you have the chance to look after Jessica and Danny's home, take the opportunity because you will certainly be set up well for a successful sit in a wonderful place and you will fall in love with Bindi!

Nicola

Nicola has a lovely home and even lovelier pets! I had a wonderful time with Tara. She is such a sweetheart and very well behaved. She loves long walks and playing with her toys. (There are beautiful beach and cliff walks nearby.) Nicola was friendly and communicative throughout!

Drew

Lunchbox is a fluffy sweetheart. Drew + Melissa left the place super clean and very welcoming for me. Communication was easy. Location is awesome.

Catriona

We had a lovely week in Symonds Yat at Cat's house. The handover was exceptionally smooth. Cat and Jim showed us the feeding routines for the 6 cats, amazing chickens and two lovely sheep. 

The sheep, Willow and Ivy, were incredibly friendly and loved their biscuits! We spent lots of time with the incredibly fluffy and friendly Tygra and even managed to stroke Wily a few times. Panthro kept herslef to herself most of the time but it was very content. 

The house itself was lovely, clean, tidy and homely, and the location was just amazing! As Londoners, we were blown away by the greenery, wildlife and tranquility. We would thoroughly recommend this sit and would love to come back and sit for Cat and Jim!

Virginia

Virginia has a homey and clean house.  Her backyard is nice to sit and enjoy the plants.  Her cats are friendly.  I had a good time staying at her house.  I don't think you will have problems finding parking spots at her house.  I took the bus and it a minute walk to the bus stop.
