Pet Sitters in Middlesex County, MA

Gwynn

Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

Kathryn

We had our cat Thistle for a month before we had to leave to babysit a granddaughter. And Kathryn was new to sitting for an indoor/ outdoor cat, in a very rural setting… she was quick to respond to my “advice” on the possible behaviors to expect, and we came home to a cat with the same routines we had established before leaving… our house was clean, tidy( as we are a bit loose in those departments) and she quickly figured out our motion detector kitchen faucet! AND how to toss dead mouse “gifts” into the fields… photos and responses go a long way to feeling your fur baby and sitter are doing well…😻 Thank you Kathryn….

Alexander

Alexander and Stephanie were great sitters for our home and Gord. I, unfortunately, did not meet them F2F, but my family did. They were happy and secure in leaving Gord and our home in their hands. Gord seemed very happy upon our return, and the house was just as we left it. We are also grateful for the care and attention to our garden, flowers and my daughter's many house plants. Alexander and Stephanie were fantastic with replying to messages and updates on Gord and what he was getting up to. Thank you for coming all this way to stay with Gord. We hope that you enjoyed this part of Canada!!

Lori

Lori and John were great sitters, they communicated well and were tidy. We were grateful they were able to meet us the day before the stay started since we have a special needs kitty (insulin shots and bg testing req'd). We felt comfortable and confident our kitties were in good hands. We'd have Lori and John sit for us again in a heartbeat.

Felicia & Tom

Felicia (and Tom) are the absolute best! We can tell that Reggie is well cared for when we get home! When we got home, it was almost like no one had been there given how clean everything was! This is the second time Felicia has taken care of Reggie and she will always be our first choice if she is available!

Maureen

Maureen was a pleasure to work with from the start. She communicated well with us and tok excellent care of our home and two cats. She is very neat and considerate. A++ sitter highly recommended

Meredith

Meredith and Chris and their two kids were absolutely wonderful guests. They took such fantastic care of both our dogs, who were clearly well loved by them while we were away. They also took excellent care of our home and plants. Meredith was very responsive and easy to communicate with, and really inspired a lot of confidence and trust in me. Thank you Meredith and family for being such great house and dog caretakers to Wyatt and Annie, you are welcome back anytime ❤️

Gillaine

A delightful couple who bonded with and cared for our dogs better than anyone could expect, we ( including the dogs) were sad to see them leave.

Laurance & Christine

Laurance and Christina were great guests and great pet sitters. They were communicative ahead of time, arrived when they said they would, and left our apartment spotless. Our dog was a happy pup when we got home. Can't wait to have them sit again.

Cordula

Cordula stayed with my two Sheepadoodles while I was away. She’s a wonderful person and I really enjoyed meeting her prior to leaving. She truly cares about animals and my house was exactly as I left it. The dogs took right to her and couldn’t seem to get enough of her attention. She sent lots of photos and updates and I returned to happy and healthy pups. I would have her back anytime! Cordula is definitely a 5 star sitter!!

Brittany & Mike

This was the second time I had Brittany care for my dog and I was again very, very happy with her. She obviously loves my dog and takes very good care of her. She was very flexible on arrival and departure time, which was really helpful. The house was very clean and neat when I arrived home and she took care of some household things that arose. She’s all-around pleasant to deal with and reliable.

Jennifer & Jephta

Jennifer & Jephta were wonderful sitters! We got daily updates of the cats with photos, which we love. Upon our return, the house was just as we'd left it- clean and tidy :) And the cats had been well cared for! We would happily have them again and surley recommend them for future sits.

Deborah

We loved this pet sit. Clancy was so excited to have the kids come and stay. He was happy to play with Indi all day long and head out on walks with Eli. Deborah was so welcoming of us all and we enjoyed our time getting to know her before and after the sit.

Angela

Very much enjoyed looking after Jive. Angela's home is very comfortable.

Caz

I had a fantastic time looking after Suki - Caz made me feel very welcome in her home and was well prepared with lots of information and suggestions for nearby walks and activities. I Suki is a very sweet pup and we spent many lovely hours exploring Richmond Park. Would gladly do this sit again!

Linda

Thank you Linda John for choosing us 
This was an excellent sit with super pre- sit information and a warm welcome on arrival 
Max is a smashing spaniel companion and a joy to be with 
Your home is a delight and the garden is a slice of paradise in a part of Yorkshire we didn’t really know but were thrilled to discover 
A great sit we’d heartily recommend to others

Kim W

Let me start by saying you will fall in love with Hayden. He might be the perfect dog. He's also a dream to walk. Cooper is adorable too – wandering around the house, hanging out here and there, interacting with Hayden and just generally being very cute.

Kim is fabulous, a delight! I got to know her and husband, Rick, over the most delicious dinner she made.
I loved the  leftovers too.  The house is spacious, comfortable, in a lovely area and near every great store you could ever want – TJ's, Whole Foods, Dillard's, Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Anthropologie, LLBean, J Jill, Saxon Shoes, etc. etc. There are also loads of restaurants to choose from. 

Hayden eats one meal per day with snacks. Cooper gets insulin shots at 0715 and 1900 with several meals spaced throughout the day. He was easy to manage and even better, I was able to find him when it was time for his shots!  Hayden gets walked between 0700 and 0730 and again in the afternoon. They both benefit from being brushed daily.

This is a lovely sit. I highly recommend it and hope to return when our schedules coincide.

Deborah

Deb and her two sweet Doodles are amazing souls to meet and even better to sit for. I had a stellar time taking long walks with Abby and Zoey at the nearby parks, snuggling them and exploring the small historic area they live in which is conveniently located near everything a person or pup could want. Abby and Zoey have great personalities and were a pleasure to share time & space with.
