Pet Sitters in Marblehead, MA

Outside of a couple of little bumps, she did a good job of taking care of my two dogs.

We've had Dorothy sit for our two cats twice this summer (see previous review.) This second time, it was reassuring to know that we've left our house and family members (cats) in charge of someone who is caring, knowledgeable, respectful and responsible. When we returned, we could tell that Dorothy and her partner had taken good care with everything. The cats were well and playful. The house was as clean or more-so as we left it and she was careful to put things back where and as she found them. We work hard to make sure the house is left as clean for the housesitter as we would like to find in a similar situation. We appreciated not having to clean up when we got home as we have had to do with another housesitter.) There was no hesitation in accommodating our wish to be in-house for the first night (they joined us for dinner and we enjoyed their company), and also when their travel plans allowed. Dorothy was very responsive whenever we had a question or concern. We hope she will be able to sit for our cats and house again.

You will find no better pet sitter than Leslie. She was FANTASTIC! I never worried for a moment about our cats. She sent photos and videos every day. When we returned, the house was spotless. I think our cats were disappointed that the regular help was back home. I would welcome Leslie back anytime! If you get her to stay with your pets, you will not be disappointed. THANK YOU, LESLIE!

Mari was fantastic! She communicated ahead of time to get as much information as possible about my cats’ preferences and needs and to ensure our schedules were all aligned. During her stay, she shared the cutest pictures and videos. My cats loved her so much! It was so nice to see that my cats were well cared for. My partner stopped by in the evening before I got home and was so impressed by how clean the apartment was and how nicely Mari left everything. She even washed the sheets and made the bed! I would welcome her back any time!

Tabi and Josh were an absolute pleasure -- both personally and as house sitters and pet sitters. Shortly after we left, Tabi smelled gas and handled the situation quickly and smartly. With the help of neighbors, she contacted the gas company which verified there was a gas leak. Tabi contacted us to approve a plumber coming out and we worked things out with her and the plumber. It was quite an inconvenience for her and Josh but not much bother for us. They assured us they were fine and had no complaints. We greatly appreciated their initiative despite feeling terrible that they'd had to deal with the problem. Our 12-year-old dog seemed relaxed and happy when we got home. The house was neat and clean and the plants indoors and out watered and healthy. Tabi and Josh are easy and self sufficient. They both have an admirable work ethic but enjoyed being in a new city and took advantage of all it had to offer. They are curious and interested in new things and places and have an infectious energy. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Any homeowner and pet lover would be lucky to have them as guests.

Carolyn and Troy were wonderful house sitters. They bonded happily with Scuppers and sent great pics during the stay. They took good care of the place, were very responsive, great communicators, friendly and warm. We'd have them back any time.

Inga and Alexander were very accommodating to our schedule and took good care of Natasha. Our house was nice and clean when we returned. They kept us updated with fun videos and pictures of Natasha. I think they really enjoyed their time sitting for us.

My dogs and cat were very happy to have Bert in our home, and I'm very grateful to him for making them so happy! Bert spent a lot of time with me in a video call prior to the sit; I appreciated the chance to learn more about him and his past pet sitting experiences, and I also appreciated his taking the time to fully understand the situation at my house before committing to the sit. His questions during our conversation showed me that he was thinking ahead and that he was serious about wanting to give the best possible care to my animals. A good friend of mine who lives in my town helped me greet Bert when he arrived; this friend told me that Bert asked a lot of good questions and was very friendly and polite. Throughout the sit, Bert kept in touch with me, sending me photos of my babies and asking me any questions that came up. He even cared enough to ask about the locations of my dogs' and cat's toys. Due to the unusual circumstances of my trip, I never got to meet Bert in person, but in the photos he sent, I always saw very happy dogs and a very pleased cat. Two of my dogs are quite shy, and the photos of them crowding in close for Bert's attention and cuddles really warmed my heart. Because my local friend was not available on Bert's last day at my house, Bert was kind enough to stick around and make the time to be at my house to welcome my next sitter. I really appreciated his help in introducing her to my pets and showing her what she needed to know before he left. It was clear to me that with Bert, my animals and home were in very good hands, I am thankful for his good care, and I would happily welcome him back into my home with my pets whenever he next comes back to Taiwan.

This is the second time that Alex sat for my dogs. As always, he’s very reliable and excellent with the dogs as well as my apartment. 

It was great to have Maria take care of my cats while I was away. She was very diligent about making sure they were happy and cared for, and I came home to a clean apartment and content cats!

Sonny was the luckiest dog having Jackie to look after him for 6 weeks this summer. She took him on so many fun adventures and made him feel very loved. She was great at keeping in touch with us and we hope she can come back again someday.

Alyson was absolutely amazing! She was so tidy in the house, and my cat loved her. I was lucky to have her sit, and would love to have her again.
