Pet Sitters in Osterville, MA

Barbara

Barbara came to watch our active pooches for 5 days. She showed up on the dot, had gathered her own information about the area. She took time to ask questions, get familiar with the new environment, and our dogs. Once we were gone, she kept in touch with us to let us know how all were doing. She sent us a few great pictures. We came back to happy dogs, and a clean home. We are grateful to her for making the trip here, and for taking such good care of our beloved dogs.

Sydney

Would definitely recommend Sydney as your next sitter! I came home to happy, healthy cats and a clean apartment. Sydney had good communication throughout the stay as well.

Jennifer

We really loved having Jennifer and Cassidy sit for our cats. They kept us updated throughout the weekend on Puffin and Squirrel’s antics and it was very clear from the photos that the cats were having fun with their new friends! Jennifer and Cassidy were communicative and reliable. They left the house so tidy and thoughtfully started a load of laundry before they left. Most importantly, Puffin and Squirrel were well taken care of in our absence! Jennifer and Cassidy would be welcome back to sit for us anytime and we highly recommend them.

Lauren

I couldn’t have been happier with Lauren’s care of my pets and home. Her self confidence was apparent from the moment she arrived, which left me feeling that all would be taken care of to my satisfaction. My intuition was correct. She went above and beyond my expectations. Just the right amount of updates and pictures kept me knowing all was fine in my absence. She left a detailed note when we returned as well as a sweet card and gift which was greatly appreciated although not expected. I highly recommend Lauren!

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!

Miranda

Loved having Miranda taking care of Dante. She was kind, reliable, and very playful with my young dog. She is a wonderful and energetic person and a great communicator. I highly recommend her.

Lila & Al

Lila & Al once again took excellent care of our cats, and our home. We received great communication, and pictures of Cumbia and Frevo. Lila was able to also help us with some package deliveries while we were traveling. Look forward to having them house sit again.

Melissa

Melissa is wonderful! So easy to communicate with, and was very flexible about meeting us the day before we left to receive our keys and learn about Harvey's routine. Melissa brought up our mail and stashed it away so Harvey wouldn't bite it (one of his favourite things to do). We received updates about Harvey via WhatsApp and when I came back home he seemed so happy and calm. The apartment was very clean and tidy, and Melissa gifted us some handmade soaps, which smell amazing! I highly recommend Melissa as a sitter.

Molly

Molly took wonderful care of our two cats, including one cat with specific feeding requirements. She was organized, communicated well and left the house very clean. We would welcome Molly to house sit again.

Raechel

If I could give Raechel a hundred stars, I would! She stayed at our house for three weeks while we were out of the country. Never have I felt more comfortable knowing my pets, plants, and house were taken care of so well! She arrived early to get to know us and the critters. Was in touch every day sending photos (as requested), giving updates and making sure we were kept in the loop. One of my dogs got sick while we were gone and she contacted me immediately, took her to my hospital (I am a veterinarian) where she patiently waited as my pup was treated. Gave her all medications as prescribed and followed all the “doctors orders”! She left our house spotless and MORE organized than she found it and even cleaned the refrigerator! I feel like she is part of our extended family now and will give her all future travel dates just in case she is available to come again! RAECHEL ROCKS!!!

Kasey

Kasey and Alejandro were the perfect house sitters and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone! My kitties were happy and chill when I got home, the place was clean, and all was good in the hood. Kasey was very reliable and an excellent communicator both before and during the sit, asked all the right questions, and sent great pictures each day. I had total peace of mind and knew that the cats were very well cared for. I will definitely ask them to sit for me in the future and I hope they are available!

Amanda & Andr

They did a wonderful job, and we’d be happy to have them back again!

Kristina

Sitting for Kristina was a total joy all around, can't say enough good things about Kristina, the cats, the location, all of it.  Kristina was super accomodating and awesome and I always felt taken care of.  She was really supportive during a couple day period where the kittens were under the weather as well.

KC and Toby are both super sweet cats, playful and love to cuddle, KC just takes a little longer to warm up, but both will snuggle you together in the morning.  They are so super sweet together, and they aren't particularly mischievous so you don't have to worry about them getting into things except the window blinds in the bedroom but Kristina warns you about that lol.  Probably the easiest cats I've sat for so far, miss them both a lot already!

Couldn't ask for a better location in NYC and the apartment has everything you might need.  Got a solid week of being able to use the patio before some construction started but it was good while it lasted!  Really great views of the city, super close to Union Square and the farmer's market.

You'd be extremely lucky to get this sit, can't recommend it enough!

Darlene

I had a lovely time with the spice girls. Darlene and Dirk were lovely hosts and gave me all the information I needed to have a successful sit with their darling puppies. A lovely little community and a chilled out way of life!

Camille

We had a great time caring for Riko. He is the sweetest dog. We enjoyed spending time with him. Riko is so sweet, friendly and loving. We already miss him! Camille was a great communicator, very friendly and a kind host. She has a beautiful home in a great location, close to everything. We recommend this petsit and would love to take care of Riko in the future.

Sophie

Damian and Sophie are two wonderful human beings, from the beginning I have felt at home. They were very kind to me and gave me many facilities during my stay. It has been a great honor to know them. 
Max is a very loving and affectionate dog. It has been a gift for me to share this experience with him. The house is cozy and comfortable. I'm very grateful. It is recommended to live an experience in Dublin.

Duana

We were very fortunate to be invited by Duana and Phil to housesit their 2 beautiful cats Lenny and Kye.
Duana and Phil are a delightful friendly couple and were very welcoming hosts. They provided a thorough handover with clear instructions to care for the cats.
Their home has a lovely ambience and we loved our stay, but it was Lenny and Kye who were the stars ! Adorable,cheeky and full of beans,Lenny is a great snuggler and loved to talk alot,Kye a little shy to begin but loves a game and a chat with you.
A lovely easy housesit in a great location with plenty of walking access to cafes,coffee and good public transport..North Fitzroy is a fantastic destination and the Edinburgh Gardens, only 2 mins walk away is a beautiful park to stroll in any season.
Thank you for having us stay. All best for your future. 
We highly recommend this housesit !

Kathryn

I could not have asked for a better experience my first time sitting! Buddy and Zelda were a joy to be with. Both cats came up and greeted me as soon as I walked in and every time I returned. I soon figured out who was the introvert and who was the extrovert.😊 Zelda is an absolute sweetheart and Buddy is high-spirited and funny. Both were friendly and just hung out around the house minding their routines such as sunbathing, perching in their favorite spots, or playing together and chasing each other. They were loveable, enjoyed my rubs, and sitting nearby or next to me. I enjoyed hanging out with them both! Kathryn was a pleasure to get to know and easy to communicate with. She provided detailed information on what needed to be done to take care of Buddy and Zelda. Her beautiful, comfortable home is right next to a nature park with peaceful walking trails. The neighborhood is very nice and super close to everything I needed. I would not hesitate to sit with Buddy and Zelda anytime and I thank Kathryn for choosing me to housesit!
