Dog Sitters in Newbury, MA

Amanda and Kaitlyn were wonderful sitters for our elderly cat, Chloe. They left the apartment clean and were responsive during planning and the sit itself.

Rachel and Toluwaleke were incredible sitters and would love to host them again. They left the place incredibly clean, the dogs are still missing them & have been well played with, and they were exceptionally communicative.

Margo looked after my two pet rabbits for a short week in October and was confronted with the worst possible situation a pet sitter could experience. My boy Leo was all of a sudden not feeling well the morning I left. I was hoping it was only some minor stomach issue and traveled anyway, questioning myself every minute whether I had made the right decision. When his condition worsened during the day, Margo took him immediately to the vet and eventually had to bring me the sad news that he didn't make it through the night. Never once did she complain that I had left her alone with a dying bunny; she even encouraged me that I should stay on vacation and let her handle everything. In pretty much every detail she did what I would have done and decided what I would have decided. Knowing she had rabbits herself for more than 20 years, I fully trusted her. She also made sure that my remaining bunny girl Ella had enough human company and gave her long cuddles. Being two "crazy bunny ladies", we even exchanged bunny-related gifts when I returned. I cannot thank Margo highly enough for what she has done and hope that her future house sitting experiences will be more enjoyable. But she has truly proven that she can handle any difficult situation, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated sitter without hesitation.

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.

Molly was fantastic. She apologized for not being able to meet with me in person before the sit, saying that she prefers a face-to-face meeting to get to know the pet. But we communicated easily via phone and emails. My cat Rider was very comfortable with her and took to her immediately and based on the many pictures that Molly sent, he didn't seem to even notice that I was gone. He trusted her so much that he actually slept with her. My condo was neater than when I left it; all dishes and towels washed and put away, sheets washed and put back on the bed, trash gone, kitty litter clean, etc. I would definitely recommend Molly to anyone and most assuredly will have her on my 'use again' list.

Eddie is an absolute DREAM pet/housesitter. We have two pretty needy pets- an elderly cat who needs multiple twice-daily medications, and a high-energy dog who needs a lot of attention and time outside. Eddie took excellent care of both of them, following all of our instructions to a tee. He watered our many plants and left our apartment even cleaner than he found it. And he's incredibly kind, communicative, and friendly! We absolutely LOVED having Eddie housesit for us, and we would have him back anytime. We cannot recommend him highly enough!!!!

Sam was great! I'm so grateful he was available for a last minute sit. He was a consistent and timely communicator and was lovely to chat with. He even helped me out with a couple extra feedings before his official stay, which was very kind – and very appreciated. My cat can be a handful, so I was relieved to receive photos of him relaxed and cuddling with Sam. I felt at ease while traveling and I came home to a happy pet and a tidy apartment. I highly recommend him as a house and pet sitter.

Joan was a great sitter for our two cats. She communicated frequently and sent pictures of them daily, which was very much appreciated. She also vacuumed, laundered her sheets and cleaned the house thoroughly after only a four day sit, which was above and beyond the call of duty. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Joan to anyone considering her. We'd be glad to have her sit for our cats again.

Kathryn was everything you could possibly want in a sitter -- and more. From the time she met Karma, she was so loving and caring. She made sure Karma was well exercised, sent lots of pics and updates, and even took her to a nearby state park for a day. But then it got even better! There were severe thunderstorms forecasted on the day I was supposed to fly back (and Kathryn was supposed to fly home). Worrying that my flight was going to be cancelled or seriously delayed, Kathryn volunteered to stay over an extra day! Consider yourself lucky if Kathryn applies for a sit, then confirm her. She is aces!

Hilary housesat for us for a little more than a month. She took great care of our house, plants and especially our dog Charlie. We returned home to a very clean, tidy house complete with fresh flowers. She even helped us getting to and from the airport. Our pup has a delicate constitution and often has tummy issues. Hilary kept us apprised on how he was doing and consulted us on his care. We could tell that she really cared about Charlie and that he was getting a lot of attention. Our neighbor even commented on how much they saw Hilary out walking Charlie around the neighborhood. Leaving a pet for for so long can be stressful. Hilary put us at ease knowing that Charlie was in caring hands. We can't recommend Hilary highly enough and would not hesitate to have her sit for us again!

Matine was only able to meet Bruc one time as the poor dog passed suddenly the night prior to Matine's arrival. A very unhappy situatioin for me. However Matine clearly interacted beautifully with Bruc on the meet and greet and he took excellent care of the apartment and was organized and caring in all communication. I was extremely happy having him as a sitter and would highly recommend him.

Reenie and Andrew were fantastic!!! It was clear they really, genuinely cared about my cat and enjoyed spending time with her. I had some issues with getting a package returned to FedEx, and Reenie was ON IT. They communicated well and were a pleasure to work with. Would book them again in a heartbeat.
