Pet Sitters in Minot, MA

Sydney

Came home to a lovely clean house and happy animals. Thank you Sydney for taking care of my gang. Hope you will come back sometime

Deanna

We were very pleased with Deanna as our one senior dog was very dependent on her as he missed us a lot. She was a very caring person with both our pet dogs.

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….

George & Katerina

George and Katie were great communicators and we felt so lucky they were hanging out with our boys while we were on our trip. When we arrived back home the house was clean and the boys were well taken care of. We would love to have them back!

NANCY

We enjoyed having Nancy and Jack as our Housesitters. Toro and Lydia warmed right up to them. We had to adjust the end day and they were very flexible. It was a short sit and it was great to have sitters who are willing to do a shorter sit. We’d love to have them back again!

Emma

Emma was amazing! The pets were well cared for and communication was easy—she checked in throughout her stay and left my place cleaner than she found it. I would definitely invite Emma back and recommend her for your stay!

Tori

Tori is a blessing! She took care of Rocksy as if he were his own. Not once have I felt worried while we were away. I knew Rocksy was in good hands. Not only is Tori reliable, she is also the most organized, tidy and trustworthy Dogsitter ever. When we came back, our place was as clean as when we left it and Rocksy was all clean and smelled so nice. She even bought him presents. Every evening we would get pics of their day with fun comments. Rocksy misses her already but we are very hopeful that we ll have Tori back here again. I highly recommend her. She is simply amazing! 🤗🥰

Cedar

Cedar did an incredible job with our dog, Hera. She and her partner had outstanding communication, were on-time, so pleasant and lovely to be around, and took excellent care of our home and our fur baby! We could tell that Hera took to them right away, and it was clear from their communication and AWESOME pics that they quickly got to know our quirky pup! Highly recommend Cedar!

Laura & Steven

Very responsive and punctual. Daily pics, and asked questions as appropriate.

Jill

We couldn’t be happier with Jill and Rob. They took great care of our dogs and were super communicative. Couldn’t ask for more.

Kyle

This was my first time having a stranger stay at my place, so this was a big deal for me. I had a good feeling about Kyle from the start and was excited about the idea of helping a fellow Bostonian see the unparalleled city of Austin. Like me, he works from home in the healthcare industry. I had the privilege of meeting Kyle on the first day of the sit. I found him to be friendly, funny, and affable. As this was my first time having a sitter, I texted Kyle details of the apartment and pet care as I thought of them. I appreciated him baring with me through this as I am working to now compile a user-friendly guide. Kyle was sure to communicate frequently. He updated me often about his arrival and departure and also sent pictures of himself with Gypsy during the stay. He also gave me a heads up about having someone over. The only questions he had were about the laundry, which evidently was the one thing I didn't go over. He was self-sufficient and attentive to the fine details of the apartment and the care of my cat. Kyle relieved the stress of stress of separation anxiety my cat goes through when left alone, therefore relieving me of inevitable guilt. My cat seemed to be at ease when I returned home. I could tell she missed me, but she did not seem stressed whatsoever! As Kyle promised, the apartment was not only just as clean as I left it, but cleaner. I have a bad habit of stuffing my recycling underneath the sink and procrastinating the removal. I was pleasantly surprised to find Kyle emptied the whole thing. In this he must have discovered I'm a beer drinker because he also left me a 6 pack! Not only this, but he left a bunch of food, which is great because I'll eat anything you leave in my apartment. Would absolutely have Kyle again. Highly recommend him to give you and your pets ease when traveling.

connor

Connor was a fantastic sitter. He played and interacted with our pets a ton which we really appreciate. He took care of our pets so well that they didn't seem to miss us that much when we got home. He was very self-sufficient and left the place just like he found it. We highly recommend Connor and would invite him to sit for us again!

Barb

Vanissar was scheduled to pet sit for me in June. I had to cancel due to illness and she was completely flexible and understanding. She came here for three days this week and took great care of my cat and home. She contacted me with updates and to ensure I knew he was receiving his meds on schedule. 
I would highly recommend Vanissar and hope she will come back another time!

Neha

I had an enjoyable weekend sit with Penny and Mike. Their personalities are spot on in the detailed welcome guide and Mike has an internal alarm clock for all the feeding times. Neha was very nice, welcoming, and maintained great communication throughout the process.

Tanja

Tanja welcomed us into her beautiful cottage when we arrived and introduced us to the lovely Coco. He will walk or chase a ball all day, but at the same time, he is quiet and has a lovely temperament. He is a dream to look after. 
There is a lovely walk down to the river through a gate at the end of the back garden and there are many longer walks direct from the cottage up into the hills or through forest tracks. We also walked along the beach from Aberdovey towards Tywyn. Coco loved them all. 
Communication with Tanja was excellent and it was a pleasure to meet her. Thanks very much for choosing us to look after Coco and your house Tanja – we hope we will be able to return in the future.

Audrey

What a fantastic sit!  Chickens, Dogs, and the Beach......my perfect trifecta!!!!
Audrey's house is cozy, comfortable, and like a little slice of heaven.  

Audrey has everything very organized and the animals also know their routine, so that's always helpful.  Greyson is a big ole lover and I already miss his kisses.  Piper is a puppy who turned into a teenage boy while Mom and Dad were away.  He's hours of entertainment!!!  Luna and Elvira were also a joy and easy to care for.

I would not hesitate to help Audrey out in the future.  She and her husband made me feel welcomed and like family.  They are genuine sweethearts!

I fell so in love with their quaint little town, that the next time I'm in Vero Beach, I might never leave!  :-)

CAROL

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carol and Gwyn's house! They are a very friendly couple who were nice enough to feed us a delicious fish and chips dinner when we arrived.  Our bedroom was very comfortable, and we loved their house with the back garden. Skylar and Harvey are very friendly and easy to take care of, and liked following us around the house!  There is a nearby park where we would take them for their evening walk. Both are quirky characters who kept us entertained during our stay. We miss them already! The house is conveniently located close to a grocery store, fish and chips shop and a bus stop. We actually didn't use the bus as the walk along the Grand Union Canal into town was lovely! 
Glad we had the time to get to know Carol and Gwyn a little before leaving, and perhaps we will get a chance to see them again one day!

Jon

My experience pet-sitting for Jon and Anna was truly remarkable. They welcomed me warmly and we had great communication throughout my stay. Ella, their energetic and delightful dog, always willing to play, quickly became my close companion. Taking care of her and enjoying beautiful walks together brought me immense joy. She's incredibly affectionate and adores cuddles.
Meia, Ella's feline friend, was also a wonderful companion, enjoying belly rubs and cuddles. They are both such sweet pets.
Jon and Anna's beautiful home provided me with great comfort and an excellent workspace with breathtaking views of the mountains. The serene surroundings and ample space added to the experience. I wholeheartedly endorse this house-sitting opportunity; it felt like a slice of paradise, and I'm thankful for being selected for this opportunity. Communication was effortless, facilitated through this platform, ensuring I was well-prepared before my arrival.
A heartfelt thank you to Jon and Anna for such a memorable and enriching experience.

Renee

I could be here all day raving about Renee. She made me feel welcome, at home and supported. She provided me everything I needed to feel confident and even gave me great suggestions on local activities. She also worked with me on logistics. It was a great experience and her sweet pup is the best companion.
