Pet Sitters in Franklin County, MA

Kim

Kim was incredible! My cat Leon is a high-maintenance little guy. Kim was not only patient and kind, but loving, fun, and funny! She approached caring for Leon with artful grace, and even provided creative photos and videos to keep me connected to him while I was away. Would 100% have her back, and would recommend without hesitation!

Ali Rose

Ali did a wonderful job and checked in periodically. Cooper gave her two paws up!!!

Aliza & Ric

Aliza and Ric are repeat house- and pet-sitters for us. They are great, totally reliable and very pro-active in terms of sending photos etc. of Alice. We had to leave the house before they arrived this last time, and they had to leave before we returned,but we had no qualms about them doing a great job.

Nicole

Nicole was absolutely super. She looked after my 11 year old anxious maltipoo and by the time I got home he was eating out the palm of her hand! Probably after 10 mins of me leaving! Also my daughter’s 11 year old Labrador who thinks he’s still a puppy but age is creeping up and he’s not so fit anymore and Nicole totally understood that. My house was kept in great order when I returned. I would definitely recommend Nicole to look after your home and pets.

Curtiss & Ashley

Curtiss and Ashley were great sitters and Dusty also enjoyed their company. I can easily recommend them. Thank you for taking such good care of Dusty

Ron

Ron was great! This was his first "sit" on the platform and he was wonderful. I was planning on leaving at crack of dawn to go on my trip and didn't want to leave my dog too long on her own. (she hates when she sees luggage and I leave without her.) This meant that Ron had to also leave early in the am to get here, which he said he would be happy to do -- without any hesitation. Also, I realized this was the first time I had let a "stranger" into my home to do dog care, without having met them first. I was a bit apprehensive, but Ron turned out to be completely trustworthy! He sent me a photo of my dog Sprout as soon as he arrived letting me know he was settled in and all was good. Ron took great care of Sprout, informing me about all the walks they were doing, and sent me photos and videos daily. I got a chance to meet Ron when I got back. He is lovely and warm. I highly recommend him, and hope he can come back again!

Rachel

Rachel was great! She took care of our active dog, Hazel, and our home, while we were out of the country for 14 days. She asked questions when she wasn't sure about something, and she took excellent care of our dog -- even took her hiking and swimming. Rachel was very good at giving us text message and photo updates while we were away. Rachel was responsible, respectful and reliable! I hope that she will house sit for us again if she's back in the area.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is such an amenable and reliable housesotter - it’s a breeze to work with her. She is very organized, clear about arrivals and departures, attentive to our cats and very good about sending photos and updates every few days. She works from home so she spent more time with them than we sometimes do, and both parties seemed to relish each other’s company! Elizabeth is also smart, thoughtful and resourceful.

Amanda

Amanda and her husband stayed at my place for a long weekend. They took wonderful care of my cat! I knew as soon as I met them that my cat and apartment were in great hands. They had carefully reviewed the welcome guide before coming and took excellent care of my kitty while I was gone. I came home to a happy cat and very clean apartment. I highly recommend Amanda!

Virna

Virna was awesome in every way. She is great. You and your fur babies will be happy with her as your sitter.

Michelle & Roman

What an awesome couple! Michelle and Roman were everything we hoped for ... and more. Buzz was well taken care of, pictures of them on the beach, in the yard, relaxing on the deck ... all made us feel very comfortable with our choice. In fact, Michelle and Nadine are looking to find ways to get together in the future just to catch up and laugh. We would have no reservations about providing a great reference for Michelle and Roman, and we would highly recommend using them for your pet/home. You won't be disappointed. Nadine & Jeff

Alex

Alex, Kellyn, and the kids were wonderful and attentive pet sitters! They were excellent communicators and responsible houseguests. They were reliable, easy to reach, and left the home in wonderful condition. They were kind enough to share photos of the cats while we were away (the kids missed them dearly!). We could tell that the cats had enjoyed their time while we were away. I highly recommend using Alex, Kellyn & family for your house/petsitting needs!

Serena

We loved this sit, a beautiful house set in amazing surroundings with the best behaved dogs we have ever looked after. Inky, Willow and baby Luna were a joy to care for, so affectionate and playful. There are numerous walking trails straight from the house and the pretty town of Hungerford is an easy stroll along the canal. Serena and Michael were lovely hosts and cooked us a dinner the night before they left and brought us gifts back from their holiday. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t conducive to using the swimming pool much during our stay but we did manage a few days which were really nice.
We would definitely return again and highly recommend it to future sitters.

Wendy

What a joy Lola was to sit for! We truly enjoyed her company. She was so well behaved, fun, and lively, lots of energy! Wendy had a lovely home and we felt very comfortable there during our stay. Very convenient, even within walking distance to shops and eateries, Lola knew her way around and we just let her choose which way she wanted to go for her walks :)
Our host, Wendy, is such a wonderful person who really cares for her pup and home, everything was amazing. 
Thank you Wendy!

CAROLINE

We had a fantastic stay! Caroline and Wendy are very friendly and thoughtful hosts. We enjoyed spending time with Suso, Mia and Maxine. We’d love to return!

Debs

Met up with Debs and family at the end of their Christmas together, and was given my handover to three, completely different dogs, but all such lovely characters.
The crazy bundle of love and energy AKA Kiki , the spaniel. The dignified Dachshund, Twiglet, observing with the ‘side eye’ and the still going strong Fifty, the Lab.
Deb’s home is comfortable and warm, and with 3 great dogs it was very enjoyable, to come back in from a very cold walk, to relax by the fire.
Deb’s was very helpful and easy to talk with,  about anything going on during my sit, and I felt very welcomed in her home.
Highly recommended, and happy to help again.
Hope you found your girls happy and relaxed, I loved my visit.
Thank you
Jo

Sarah

We had the best week at Sarah's home in Charlecote with Gracie and Oakley! It is a lovely area with plenty to keep you busy. We absolutely adored Gracie and Oakley and really miss them so much already. Thank you Sarah for a great stay and for the lovely welcome pack xxx

Paul

Paul and Kirstie gave us a great welcome and showed us around the house before they left. They were always at the end of the phone if we needed anything. We had a great time looking after Alfie and their beautiful home. Alfie is a sweetheart which made caring for him easy. Thanks again Paul and Kirstie.
