Cat Sitters in East Boston, MA

Megan & Anna

Megan and Anna were great! They were communicative about their schedules and took great care of our dog and our apartment. They even stuck around a little longer on their last day than we had anticipated, which meant our dog was in the crate for less time and we didn’t have to worry about taking her out as soon as we got back from our travels. We’d be happy to have them housesit again!

Carla

Carla is a wonderful sitter. Both my cats love her, even Shyla the very time shelter cat. Carla sent me pictures of them so I knew they were in good hands. It was so easy for me to not worry about things knowing that Carla was there taking care of it all. I would love to have her sit again and will definitely check with her on future sit needs. Having her only a few miles away is a real bonus,.

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.

lauren

We love having Lauren and hope she’s always available when we are out of town! Linda loves a fellow vegan 🌱 !

Hyerim

Hyerim recently looked after my treasured boy Walter and the rest of my animal family, from her words in her original application l was 99% sure l wanted her once we video called l was convinced. A bond was almost immediately formed with Walter and Hyerim on her arrival which sent me off on my break completely reassured that my animal family were in perfect hands. While away l received daily updates and photos of their adventures. On returning and Walter and l got back into our daily routine and on visiting our local park two of the parents of Walter’s friends asks about Hyerim and mentioned how wonderful she was with him. If this isn’t the perfect recommendation then what is. I have nothing but the greatest thanks and gratitude for Hyerim who not only looked after Walter and my other animals but also loved him/them in my absence. I cannot believe how fortunate and lucky we were to be chosen by Hyerim, if she chooses you accept her immediately.

Maureen

Maureen was great from the first time we talked on the phone. She was friendly and asked all the right questions.. It was my first Zeewoi experience and Maureen was super. The house was in great shape and the animals were well cared for. I highly recommend her!

Michelle

although a short stay, we could tell our pup loved his time with michelle! she is communicative, neat, and enthusiastic - it’s clear that she loves animals. we’d welcome her back anytime!

Donna

Donna is a very kind, caring, responsive, communicates great and responsible. She took great care of our home and puppy while we were out of the country sending us adorable photos to keep us up to date. We look forward to having her back again soon.

Amanda & Rajeev

Amanda and Rajeev were terrific housesitters and perfect for our 3 dogs. When we returned from our trip, we could tell the dogs were well taken care of and got plenty of activity. They constantly sent photos of them cuddling and loving on our boys, which allowed us to be away with ease. Would love to have them back again as future housesitters and even hang out with them! Highly recommend to anyone considering them!

Laura

Laura did a fantastic job looking after our older dog, Hope. She was communicative and reliable before the sit, and made sure she kept us up to date during it too. We could tell that Hope felt instantly at ease with her, and was relaxed and playful with Laura during their time together. Even though we let Laura know we didn't expect her to clean after her stay, she made sure the house was spotless. We'd have no hesitation in recommending her for any dog sits.

Matine Khalighi

Matine was only able to meet Bruc one time as the poor dog passed suddenly the night prior to Matine's arrival. A very unhappy situatioin for me. However Matine clearly interacted beautifully with Bruc on the meet and greet and he took excellent care of the apartment and was organized and caring in all communication. I was extremely happy having him as a sitter and would highly recommend him.

Egan

Egan was so wonderful to our cats and elderly rabbit, and we could not have asked for a better sitter. He sent photo updates for our 5 year old, pampered our rabbit with a bath and a blow dry when he needed it, and even made sure that our plants survived. Thank you so much Egan!

Amy

Baijet is fabulous. He has already stayed at my house twice. He has even stayed longer while I was home. My friend love him and have taken him out with them several times. He is reliable, responsible and neat. Most importantly, my cat Steve adores him. He even lets Baijet clip his claws which I have never been able to do that. He works at home so he is here most of the time. One time there was a leak into the garage while I was gone. He knew what to do, contact my neighbor get the plumber and have it taken care of. He picked me up at the airport and made me a delicious meal. He really likes San Pedro. I hope he will be able to come again I highly recommend him……amy

Sali

It was a pleasure having David and Joy here caring for Chloe and my house. They are an instantly likable couple. Communication was easy and they were very flexible with me having a few date changes. The house, gardens and Chloe were obviously well cared for during my 5 week absence. 
David and Joy fit right in with my friends in the community and are still asked after.  They have great stories about their world-wide adventures and David produces awesome videos!
Chloe and I recommend them without hesitation and would welcome them back any time!
