Cat Sitters in Dedham, MA

Zoe

Zoe was a great housesitter. We came home to happy, healthy animals and a house in the same condition we left it in. She sent pictures while we were gone and updated me periodically on their status, which I appreciated. We would happily arrange another sit with Zoe.

Joanne

Joanne was exceedingly easy and agreeable to work with. She was on time, tidy and generously gave our cat lots of new toys. She was responsive by email before and while we were away. I would love to have her come back.

Maureen

Maureen was a pleasure to work with from the start. She communicated well with us and tok excellent care of our home and two cats. She is very neat and considerate. A++ sitter highly recommended

Karen

Karen made sure she knew about my cat's habits and behaviour before coming over to mine. We communicated via WhatsApp and phones as we did not meet in person due to the coronavirus situation. Upon my return, Attis was as happy and relaxed as usual. Thank you so much for taking very good care of my sweet boy, Karen. You would be welcome back any time.

Margo

Margo looked after my two pet rabbits for a short week in October and was confronted with the worst possible situation a pet sitter could experience. My boy Leo was all of a sudden not feeling well the morning I left. I was hoping it was only some minor stomach issue and traveled anyway, questioning myself every minute whether I had made the right decision. When his condition worsened during the day, Margo took him immediately to the vet and eventually had to bring me the sad news that he didn't make it through the night. Never once did she complain that I had left her alone with a dying bunny; she even encouraged me that I should stay on vacation and let her handle everything. In pretty much every detail she did what I would have done and decided what I would have decided. Knowing she had rabbits herself for more than 20 years, I fully trusted her. She also made sure that my remaining bunny girl Ella had enough human company and gave her long cuddles. Being two "crazy bunny ladies", we even exchanged bunny-related gifts when I returned. I cannot thank Margo highly enough for what she has done and hope that her future house sitting experiences will be more enjoyable. But she has truly proven that she can handle any difficult situation, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated sitter without hesitation.

Chelsea

Chelsea has been the best sitter I have had yet! She is very friendly and easy to talk to, self sufficient, and I came home to a spotlessly clean home. Most importantly, I know she took great care of my kitty (I always know she was well cared for when she’s aloof to my return home). Chelsea is welcome back to my house for sitting whenever I can get her!

Rachael

We were lucky to have Rachael pet sit for our dog, Bode for a week. Rachael arrived to our house early to meet Bode and get the lay-of-the-land before we departed for our trip. She asked great questions to understand our home and Bode's needs. Rachael was very sweet with Bode and he was well-cared for. Our house was impeccably clean upon our return. We would highly recommend Rachael. She is welcome back anytime!

Isaac

Isaac took great care of our cats and left the place spotless. Thank you for your help and care, Isaac!

Effie

Effie was great ! Keep me up to date on Raleigh and took care of my house well. Would host her again!

Nata

WE communicated during our vacation. All was good.

It was great to have Maria take care of my cats while I was away. She was very diligent about making sure they were happy and cared for, and I came home to a clean apartment and content cats!

Charlie is great!

hannah

Salome was once again lovely.  She arrived promptly when she said she would, she was easy to contact and talk to and I received lots and lots of photos of Maggie, our chocolate lab over the weekend.  When I explained we would be late back due to a calamity at the airport, she waited an extra couple of hours and when I got home the house was spick and span and there was a lovely bunch of flowers waiting.  I couldn't ask to have met anyone nicer!

Sarah

Kate was the best petsitter we could have asked for! Prior to the sit, she was easy to communicate with and detail-oriented when we were discussing all the details. Throughout our trip, she would send the cutest photos and videos of our boys, and we always knew they were in good hands. Our dog Zeplin was so happy to go out on many hikes with her in the mountains and our cat Truffle loved all the cuddles! Not only did Kate take incredible care of our pets, but she also left the house sparkling clean and organized exactly how we like it! We came back to a thriving garden too!

We would 100% recommend Kate for future sits around the world. She is cool, conscientious, responsible, and a true pet lover. She asks all the right questions and she’s also an absolute sweetheart. Hopefully she will have a chance to come back again soon to snuggle our boys, we know they miss her!
