Pet Sitters in Cochituate, MA

Matthew

Matthew and Jessica took good care of Rosie, Jack, and Woody. They enjoyed their time here and left our condo in good shape. They borrowed our car and filled up the gas tank, which we appreciated

Harriett & Robert

Harriet was an amazing house and petsitter! She communicated daily and followed our instructions to a "T'"Our house was sparkling clean when we got home, and she and her husband took the best care of our senior dog. We had no worries, and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were there.

Caitlin & Nicholas

Caitlin and Nick were great housesitters. They were very responsive and seemed to truly care for our pups. I recommend them for your house and pet sitting needs!

Heather

Happy to have Heather stay at ours while we were away! Turned out our friends took wee Jet while we were gone, but we wanted to still be able to offer heather a place to stay, lovely person through and through! Look forward to staying in touch and having paths cross again. X

Marike

Marike and Mike are fabulous! They were so loving with our two year old dog, Pepito, and are both very kind and considerate house guests Hello hi hello hello. Marike frequently sent me photos all of which reassured me that our doggie was so happy with her and Mike. TheyThey got along so well with our sweet little dog that he ended up sleeping in their bed with him. They were also great about receiving packages and addressing any needs at our home on our behalves. We were able to keep in touch easily via WhatsApp any time they had questions about taking care of Pepito or about our house and we appreciated the frequent contact. On one occasion, they noticed that our dog was licking the soil a lot in our yard, and it turned out that a gardener had put down some non-toxic rabbit deterrent product that evidently was yummy for him so they made a point of not letting him go out into the yard on his own until the product was naturally absorbed into the ground on its own. We couldn’t be happier!

Nyamal

It was such a pleasure having Nyamal stay at my home for 6 weeks while I was away in France. She took excellent and loving care of my 3 cats. My home was in great shape when I returned, equally clean as when I left. I appreciated Nyamal for sending me frequent photos of my cats and she easily asked questions when she had them. I felt my home and cats were lovingly cared for. It was a pleasure to have her in my home.

Rachel & Toluwaleke

Rachel and Toluwaleke were incredible sitters and would love to host them again. They left the place incredibly clean, the dogs are still missing them & have been well played with, and they were exceptionally communicative.

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.

Heather

Heather cared for Jaxson in a conscientious way.with good communication. Maybe she is new to sitting dogs-- she let me know that she wasn't able to stay overnight on this sit, so I invited a second person to accompany Jaxson overnight and then she coordinated with the second person in a very thoughtful way.

Mary

We loved having Mary sit for Yukon and Ophelia! She and her family gave them lots of attention and love and we are so glad they were able to be here. Mary checked in frequently and asked questions where needed. Hoping we can stay in touch for future sits.

Kyle

This was my first time having a stranger stay at my place, so this was a big deal for me. I had a good feeling about Kyle from the start and was excited about the idea of helping a fellow Bostonian see the unparalleled city of Austin. Like me, he works from home in the healthcare industry. I had the privilege of meeting Kyle on the first day of the sit. I found him to be friendly, funny, and affable. As this was my first time having a sitter, I texted Kyle details of the apartment and pet care as I thought of them. I appreciated him baring with me through this as I am working to now compile a user-friendly guide. Kyle was sure to communicate frequently. He updated me often about his arrival and departure and also sent pictures of himself with Gypsy during the stay. He also gave me a heads up about having someone over. The only questions he had were about the laundry, which evidently was the one thing I didn't go over. He was self-sufficient and attentive to the fine details of the apartment and the care of my cat. Kyle relieved the stress of stress of separation anxiety my cat goes through when left alone, therefore relieving me of inevitable guilt. My cat seemed to be at ease when I returned home. I could tell she missed me, but she did not seem stressed whatsoever! As Kyle promised, the apartment was not only just as clean as I left it, but cleaner. I have a bad habit of stuffing my recycling underneath the sink and procrastinating the removal. I was pleasantly surprised to find Kyle emptied the whole thing. In this he must have discovered I'm a beer drinker because he also left me a 6 pack! Not only this, but he left a bunch of food, which is great because I'll eat anything you leave in my apartment. Would absolutely have Kyle again. Highly recommend him to give you and your pets ease when traveling.

Elizabeth

Liz was great! She was super responsive and kept me updated on how Lany was doing. She took Lany on a bunch of walks and made sure she was getting plenty of exercise. She was very accommodating to my travel plans even when there was some changes. I highly recommend Liz!

Victoria

Vicky and Brian were great hosts and had great communication throughout our experience. They made it very easy and convenient for both arrival and departure, and their home is very convenient to Exeter if you want to have a look around. 
Shumba and Penga were an absolute delight and were great company—very sweet and well behaved. We’d definitely sit for them again.

Debra & Lyman

What a magical sit! We had such a great time exploring a new area and caring for Ebou and Cous Cous; two very sweet cats with unique personalities. 

Ebou loved following us around the house or sitting on our lap while we worked. Cous Cous, a bit on the shyer side adjusted well and would greet us in the morning and afternoon for some pets and a brush. We miss them both already!!

Debra & Lyman's home is a peaceful paradise surrounded by a beautiful garden and an abundance of outdoor activities (if that's your thing)! We loved spending our time hiking, biking and sitting by the river. It was very easy to get around town with our car or on bikes and the home has everything you need to really enjoy your stay and be very comfortable. 

We highly recommend this sit and are grateful to have had such a wonderful experience!

Jessica

Jessica was easy to communicate with and her home was cozy and lovely. Bertie was sweet and fun to play with.

Louise

We had a wonderful time sitting for Louise! They met us nearby and brought us to the house, showed us all around and made us feel very welcome. The dogs (Millie & Jez) were super sweet and calm. The house is very comfortable and the neighbourhood is safe and a short walk to the village. We LOVED sitting here and would love to go back. We miss our buddies Millie and Jez already!!

Emily

Emily was an amazing host, and Moe and Bruno were the sweetest pups! It was a pleasure to snuggle, play, and walk with these boys. Emily was communicative and responsive, and everything was very clearly laid out. It was truly a delightful experience for us and a wonderful opportunity to spend time with the sweetest dogs in Truckee!

Liza

We enjoyed sitting Lola. She is a lovely natured dog and pleasant to play with and cuddle. The unit has large lovely gardens and close to buses and trains. Easy access into London central or surrounding hubs. Lisa was accomodating with our arrival time, very pleasant and welcoming. We enjoyed chattingbwith Luza on arrival and departure and our stay with Lola. Thanks Luza.
