Cat Sitters in Newbury, MA

Carol & Michele

Carol and Michele were really wonderful! They adored our cats, judging by the many photos and texts they sent us about them. During the interview process, they asked smart, on-point questions. And before they left, they washed all the sheets and towels they used and remade the bed! The cats were happy and the house was, if anything, cleaner than when we left.

Ya'el

Ya'el was a great sitter. She was very easy to communicate with and gave helpful updates throughout her stay. She took great care of our dog and left our house in perfect condition. Would happily recommend her to anyone!

Robert

Robert was as good as advertised. Great communication all around with regular updates during the sit. Gave the doggos a bath, reset linens, and left the house cleaner than he found it.

Meg

Meg and her mom were great! It was very comforting to know that the two of them were taking care of the pups and my plants. They are both very sweet, kind and thoughtful. I've noticed all the little treats and toys they bought the pups which they love and have been playing with. Meg was patient with me and all my worries and is a thoughtful communicator. I can tell the pups miss them and I'm grateful they were shown so much love.

Laura & Daniel

I am so grateful for Laura and Dan. Not only did they leave my house in beautiful condition, but they stayed in contact with me. They sent me darling pictures of my beloved cat snuggled on their laps and purring. He was clearly loving the affection he was getting. I could not be happier than I am with Laura and Dan. I would not hesitate to recommend them, and will certainly use them again if they are available.

Megan

Megan was a great sitter for Charlie! She sent us lots of updates and photos throughout her stay and I felt like our baby was in good hands the whole time she was watching him. Would love to have her petsit again!

Milly

Milagros and Andy were great sitters for our cat. They were well organized and arrived on time. Our home was clean when we came home and our kitty was happy and relaxed. We also had an issue with our parking spot when a tree fell down and blocked access; this created a delay in our departure of a few hours. Milagros and Andy were very patient and flexible even when we found out that the parking spot would remain unavailable for the rest of their stay. Highly recommend!

Sadie & Elbie

Sadie left our home SO clean and she was so flexible as we figured out our plans!

Myriam

Myriam was an excellent sitter and truly deserves an 11/10 rating. She was a great communicator, giving us frequent updates of our cat Finn, and even bought him some new food when she realized he wasn’t eating his normal wet food. (He now loves his second meal option!) Myriam was very attentive to Finn’s needs and also left our apartment in fantastic condition upon our arrival back home. She even left us printed pictures of Finn during her stay which we loved! Myriam would be welcome back anytime!!

Janice

Janice has won our cat's heart, which is not easy! She is an animal lover through and through. Janice has a calming nature that gives the animal time to get used to her. We felt very comfortable knowing that our cat would be pampered by Janice while we were on holiday. We can highly recommend Janice and thank her very much for the loving care she gave to "Oskar".

Leah

Leah, was a fabulous sitter and we were so happy to have her stay with us. She was easy to communicate with leading up to her stay - clear, prompt, and kind. She took excellent care of our kitty, who seemed to enjoy playing and hanging out with her. (And she sent us lots of sweet photos while we were away!) Leah was also very clean and respectful - our home was spotless when we returned. We hope she comes to stay again!

Jane

Jane was easy to communicate with was very reliable. She took great care of my cat and the house was clean when we returned. I would highly recommend her.

Maria

Elaine is an angel. Not only did she keep me posted about her trip details before arriving, but she took care of my cats as if they were hers. 

Joey got sick while I was away, and she quickly let me know. She took him to the vet and made sure to give him the treatment prescribed. When I arrived home, he was doing very well. 

The apartment was spotless, and bedsheets washed upon my return. I am very happy I chose Elaine to take care of my babies during this trip, as it was the longest I had had, and she made me feel secure that my cats were well taken care of.

I would definitely recommend Elaine for any of your sits, and if she could/would like to come back, I would definitely trust her with my cats again.

Sana

Joe and Ana left my home in mint condition and took good care of my pets. Even my plants thrived under their care! They remained in touch on a frequent basis and I appreciated getting pictures of my dog. They were gracious to stay another day to accommodate a delay in my travel plans. 

I highly recommend them for taking care of your home. 

Thanks Ana and Joe!
