Cat Sitters in Devens, MA

KAREN

Karen is a thoughtful, kind, and salt-of-the-earth animal lover! Our animals, Dee Dee (pit-hound mix) and Picasso (zesty kitty) LOVED hanging with Karen while we were away for a couple nights in June! Karen sent us the most adorable and thoughtful animal updates so we knew they were in good hands and being cared for in the best way possible. Karen even made a toy for Picasso out of her quilting scraps that he loves! If you're looking for someone you can trust in your home who is awesome with your pets, you've found your gal!

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!

Molly & Santiago

Molly inspires so much confidence. She took excellent care of our two cats and left the apartment immaculate. She gave Andy his insulin injections, sent pictures, and responded to texts promptly. I had no worries while I was away, and now have a contact in Costa Rica, where I hope to move at some point.

Eric & Joanne

Eric &Joanne were very nice, communicative and clean. I felt very comfortable leaving them with my cats and home. They texted me several times while I was away to let me know how things were going. I’d definitely have them here again!

Jean & Alan

Jean was absolutely wonderful . She flew in a day early to meet us and spend time with Mookie our Boxer . Jean gave us daily updates and pictures . She walked Mookie and gave him lots of attention and love . Our home was just the way we left it and everything was attended too . Her communication before , during and after our trip was excellent. Jean left a lovely “ Thank You “ card with truffles and homemade cookies . I would highly suggest Jean , as your zeewoi .

Jessica

Jessica was a great dog- and house-sitter. She made sure to know and understand the expectations and routines, which put our minds at ease (we’re always worried about leaving the dogs!) It was nice to meet with her for a short while before we left to do a smooth handoff and get to know her a bit. She even sent cute pictures of the dogs that showed how well she was caring for them (for example, pics of them tucked into blankets on the couch next to her) We certainly hope she had as nice and easy a time sitting for us as we had hosting her, because we’d love to have her 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

Kellynette

Kellynette was great. She was good about getting in touch with us prior to her visit, and staying in contact with us during her visit. The apartment was spotless when we got back. And, most important, Spencer and Abbey were well cared for.

Jacqui

Jacqui is exceptional! She cared for our diabetic cat Dorie who requires scheduled feedings and insulin shots, in addition to our voluminous plant collection. She is wonderfully thoughtful, a great communicator, reliable, and left our house spotless. We would welcome Jacqui back any time!

Maggie

Maggie was a wonderful sitter! She was accommodating and left the apartment in good shape. I’d be happy to have her sit again.

Gail & Michael

Gail and Michael were excellent pet sitters and very lovely people. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our cat and our home in their care. Gail did a great job of keeping us up to date on what we needed to know. We hope to have them return for another stay.

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.

Ian

To encapsulate Sebastian in just a few lines seems completely inadequate, but I will attempt to pour liquid gold into a bottle anyway.
Our experience with Sebastian is nothing short of 5 stars, and truth be told, if I could give him a galaxy of stars, I would.
Sebastian stayed in our home for a month and his main priority was to look after our two cats and a pot with some seedlings in it.
Ian and I got regular updates, on the welfare of the kitties, and they seemed so content. We even got plant seedling updates, which made me extremely happy to see that the seeds I had planted had sprouted. Communicating with Sebastian was effortless and his response time is excellent.
Sebastian is the perfect person to look after your animals, especially if your pet needs a bit of extra special care, like our ginger boy. He has his own car and was even willing to take our kitty to the vet if needed.
If something broke, Sebastian would first try and see if it could be fixed, before contacting us.
Our place was spotlessly clean when we got back too.

Our place where we stay is a little off the map and sometimes couriers battle to find it, because they say we are "not on Google maps'". Sebastian put his IT skills to task, ensuring that we are now on the map and parcels will find their way to us more easily now. Thank you Sebastian.

And lastly, Sebastian made our lives so easy when he offered to drop us at the airport (with all of our crazy bags) so that we would not have to navigate the train with so much luggage. He even offered to fetch us from the airport, which is going way beyond any expectation from our side.
We will have Sebastian back in a heartbeat!

Tony

We cannot believe how lucky we have been with our first venture into Zeewoi.  To come up with New Zealanders, Gary & Yvonne, could not have been bettered.  Not only does Alfie adore them (and vice versa), but they looked after the house brilliantly (returning it to us cleaner than when we left!) and, a real bonus, they have now been with us three times.
I should, however, mention that this review has been posted before the final Lions/All Blacks rugby test and our views may just change on Saturday!
