Cat Sitters in Dover, MA

Alyson & Paolo

Ender loved Alison and Paolo, he didn’t miss us at all. Communication was great. We texted about a couple of plants in the house and answered a couple of questions during the three weeks of their stay. The house was spic and span when they left. They gave us a ride to the bus stop when we left! When we needed their help getting a car key to a friend of ours, they stepped right up. Alison and Paolo are a lovely couple, they are kind and self reliant, and we hope to have them sit again for us in the future.

Robert

Robert was as good as advertised. Great communication all around with regular updates during the sit. Gave the doggos a bath, reset linens, and left the house cleaner than he found it.

Motomi

Motomi is amazing!! she’s stayed and cared for our kitties several times and we love her and the kitties love her 🤍 she sends us updates with the cutest photos, always leaves the apartment very tidy and is just a super sweet considerate and caring person 🤍

Annie & Raphael

We could not have asked for a better dog sitter for our dog! She was so helpful from the first phone call and communicated well the entire stay. Our dog got sick while we were a 10 hour flight away and she kept in touch and even stayed with him for a vet visit at our house. She gave him medicine and made sure he got better quickly. We would highly recommend Annie to take care of your pets and home. We came back to a super clean home and a happy dog!

NANCY

We enjoyed having Nancy and Jack as our Housesitters. Toro and Lydia warmed right up to them. We had to adjust the end day and they were very flexible. It was a short sit and it was great to have sitters who are willing to do a shorter sit. We’d love to have them back again!

Anna & Okan

Consider yourself lucky if you have discovered Anna and Okan; they are truly exceptional petsitters. They are both gentle and kind people who are just a pleasure to be around. Dogs can sense this and our two GSPs were quick to saddle up to them, recognizing them as friends. Anna and Okan arrived the evening prior to our departure so that we could ensure they were familiar with the dogs' routines and mechanicals of the house. It was clear that they had thoroughly read the Welcome Guide in advance of their arrival which was reassuring to me of their commitment to a successful petsitting experience. They were great communicators, providing daily snippets of status at the homefront. Ed and I did not have a worry at all while away; we were confident that the dogs were being cared for in the way they are accustomed. When we arrived home, Anna and Okan had left our house spotless, leaving clean linens and towels and even a bouquet of fresh flowers. Anna and Okan are truly caring and they make every effort to provide the best experience for you and your pets. We are very grateful to them and hope they would consider coming back in the future.

Jennifer

This was the second time Ife sat for us. She was everything we could ask for and we would gladly ask Ife to sit again. She cared for our pets and home as we do.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a rock star! She is so kind and thoughtful. Our dog, Buddy, quickly become best buds with her. He has several health problems, including diabetes, requiring a shot after every meal. She rose to the occasion and gave him great care! Plus, I swear our apartment was cleaner than when we left it! We would have her stay again in a heartbeat.

Cedar

Cedar did an incredible job with our dog, Hera. She and her partner had outstanding communication, were on-time, so pleasant and lovely to be around, and took excellent care of our home and our fur baby! We could tell that Hera took to them right away, and it was clear from their communication and AWESOME pics that they quickly got to know our quirky pup! Highly recommend Cedar!

Maren

Maren was prompt, neat and very good at following directions concerning my house and my senior dog's needs. She was very reliable and responsible. Maren was very prompt in returning my texts or phone calls. I appreciated the updates that she provided. Boo seemed to get to know her quickly and seemed comfortable around her. The people at the dog park commented on how well she took care of Boo.

Megan

Megan was a great sitter for Charlie! She sent us lots of updates and photos throughout her stay and I felt like our baby was in good hands the whole time she was watching him. Would love to have her petsit again!

Ellen

Ellen and her daughter were the best! They cared for my Rooney so well. They played with him and took him for tons of walks and adventures. They left the house as if they hadn’t been there. I highly recommend Ellen and her daughter to house for your fur babies:)

Helen and Adam

Kat and Dan have just completed a 10 day sit for us and we couldn't have been more pleased that we chose this couple. In the lead up to the sit they were communicative and showed a real interest in our cats and this continued through our holiday as they sent regular updates showing how happy the boys were and how much Kat and Dan were enjoying being with them.
Our house was left just as we had left it - they even washed the bedding and towels they had used and left us a bottle of wine to enjoy as we settled back in :-)
I think the true testament to their sit was that the boys didn't even seem that bothered when we arrived back!!
I would not hesitate to recommend these two and really hope we are able to arrange another sit in future, this time getting to meet them too!

Lydia

Ali and Noah are a delightful young couple and the ideal people to care for your pet . They were great company,full of enthusiasm and fun to be around either end of my holiday and completely organised and reliable. The house was immaculate on my return and they took the trouble to take note of where all the kitchen equipment was kept, so I was able to find everything .
Most importantly, my rescue greyhound was completely happy and relaxed, had enjoyed some wonderful walks and new adventures, plus plenty of attention . A definite 10/10 .
