Pet Sitters in Gill, MA

Kit

Couldn't ask for anyone more fantastic to care for my dog and my house!

Micah

Micah was communicative as needed. She sent photos occasionally as requested. She washed the sheets and put them back on the bed. That was a first!

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!

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.

Virna

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

Katie & Britany

Katie and Britany were wonderful. They actually came out early to celebrate Christmas with us and to explore the Seattle area before beginning their sit. They left the house immaculate washing their sheets and making the guest bed before our return. They took on a bit of a challenge with our one year old Biewer terrier , who was not reliably house trained and our eleven year old Yorkshire terrier who is still quite jealous of the new comer. They balanced play and walks in the pretty challenging weather getting down often to the beach where the dogs love to explore. They communicated daily with pictures of the pups and comments on their activities. When we reached out with a question, they got back to us quickly even with the time difference challenges. We would have them back to sit in an instant.

Anu

From the initiation of our first contact to our final contact upon departure, Anu was thoughtful and communicative about all aspects of the housesit. She was great company and a good caretaker for my 15 year old “grand dame”, sweet Bella. I am so grateful I was able to leave her with Anu. Anu spent two nights with us before I left and I am so glad I got to know her. I recommend her as a house and/or pet-sitter without hesitation.

Jalina

Jalina and Evan took great care of our pets and our home when we were away for a week. We were able to meet in advance which I found very helpful. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent during the week to let me know the furry babies were happy. Definitely recommend them as zeewoi!

John

John is an amazing dog sitter. Our old pooch took to him immediately as if they were old friends. The night we got back our dog went searching for John at bedtime, missing him already. During his first night at our house a tree fell on our porch and garage. John sent us photos and assured us that no damaged happened to any windows or roofs. Communication was clear and easy and John was quite flexible about timing. Our house was immaculate upon our return and John even managed to get the bed linens washed and dried before we got back. YOU can't go wrong with John.

Claire

We enjoyed having Claire as our petsitter! Our senior dog really took to her as well as our more-friendly cat. She did great when our senior dog had diarrhea, and I appreciated her communications throughout our trip. I would definitely recommend Claire.

Karolina & Ryan

Great sitters! I came home to a happy cat and a clean home.

Tommy

Tommy was responsive and easy to work with. I appreciate him taking good care of my dogs and home.

Cynthia

Maria and Gary stayed in our house while we were away on a 10-day vacation.  They were enthusiastic guests, were extremely easy to communicate with, took great care of our animals and plants, and left the house in perfect order.  They even left us a quiche and zucchini bread to welcome us home!  We would definitely welcome them back to sit for us again!

Marese

Twix, Yoda and Juno are just fabulous dogs, we had so much fun with them and they absolutely love going for walks and swims. They were really affectionate and communicative dogs and love TLC. We worked from home for the three weeks and the three of them were great company with plenty of nice walks close by. Marese and Tom were incredibly hospitable and made settling into the house very easy with their no fuss attitude.

Belinda

Ahhh! Belinda, Lisa, and “Bails” how we miss you three :)

Such a great experience and stay in Belinda’s wonderful home in a beautiful part of the world: the Blue Mountains! 

Communication: superb!
House: lovely, such character!
Location: planted in the base of the mountains and just short bike ride into town.
Dog/Bailey: terribly sweet! We love her! So we’ll behaved and such good company.
The hosts?: their the best! We can’t wait to return and look forward to staying in touch with them for years to come.

Great sit. Can’t recommend enough :)

Jessica

Had a great time with the animals, no complaints.

Harper has been trained very well on walks. The cats love to cuddle and play. 

Very happy to have had the opportunity.

Elaine

Elaine and Roger were great and Sawyer was a pleasure to take care of. The house was beautiful, communication was easy and prompt--I'd sit for them again any time.

Corrine

Corrine and Mike were wonderful hosts.  We felt so comfortable with them as soon as we met them.  They live in an amazing area of Virginia, in a super comfortable home with the most spectacular views out every window.  Ruca and Fiona are older dogs who are very calm and laid back.  They are very easy to care for, but very friendly and loving.  We had a weekend stay that flew by, we would love to come back and have more time to enjoy the dogs and the beautiful area.

Elizabeth

What an amazing Santa Fe stay.
Very peaceful setting with the sweetest dog. Torpedo is fun and loving. The home and the view are stunning. Elizabeth thought of everything to make a visitor comfortable, she even asked if I needed her to pick up anything.The room I stayed in felt like a luxury spa resort, the bed and bedding were so comfortable and those views!!
Elizabeth invited me to stay after she returned. It was so nice visiting with her. She is kind and a wealth of information. I truly enjoyed getting to know her and I hope to sit for her and Torpedo many times.
