Pet Sitters in Princeton, MA

Audrey

Audrey kept an eye on our crew for the long weekend while we traveled to see the solar eclipse. She was flexible with timing for doing a home routines walk through and did a wonderful job taking care of everyone and staying on top of Tate’s meds. She was also graciously responsive when we needed to coordinate a friend’s last minute pick up of special eclipse-viewing supplies. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and responsible sitter. We hope to have her back in the future!

Molly & Santiago

Molly inspires so much confidence. She took excellent care of our two cats and left the apartment immaculate. She gave Andy his insulin injections, sent pictures, and responded to texts promptly. I had no worries while I was away, and now have a contact in Costa Rica, where I hope to move at some point.

Jean & Alan

Jean was absolutely wonderful . She flew in a day early to meet us and spend time with Mookie our Boxer . Jean gave us daily updates and pictures . She walked Mookie and gave him lots of attention and love . Our home was just the way we left it and everything was attended too . Her communication before , during and after our trip was excellent. Jean left a lovely “ Thank You “ card with truffles and homemade cookies . I would highly suggest Jean , as your zeewoi .

Carrie

Carrie and Peter were great sitters for Jack and Penny. They were flexible with their arrival and departure dates and times, brought the pups for many walks, sent updates and pictures and left the house clean and even washed the sheets and towels and put them back on the bed! Would recommend them to anyone looking for sitters!

Harry

Harry is top notch. Takes care of business without any issues, takes extra care of our pet with some grooming and lap time. This is our second time with Harry, ready to book him again.

Joan & Isaiah

Joan and Isaiah were fantastic pet and house sitters, and my dog Max adored them! They were very organized, communicative and left my house spotless. It was a real pleasure meeting them both, and I would love to have them at home 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!!

Ryan

It was delightful to have Tavis and Ryan be our first house sitters. They and their two daughters gave our dog all the love and care he could handle. The house was well kept and I would have no hesitation in recommending Tavis and Ryan to anyone who needed a warm and trustworthy couple to take care of their pet and their house.

Thienne & Rafael

Thienne was an excellent housesitter. She sent lots of clear communication and left the house spotless.

Monica

Monica took wonderful care of our pets, in particular our senior dog who requires more work than our younger dog. She was communicative and reached out when questions came up and we felt very comfortable knowing that she was was taking great care of them in our absence! She left the house as we left it and we were very appreciative of the care she took with Baxter and Ruby and our home.

Chloe

Chloe and family came for the weekend to sit for my two dogs and two cats. She sent updates and pictures both text and app. They cleaned up after themselves and took great care of my not exactly easy dogs.

Kathleen

We were pleased to have Kathleen care for Casey and our home. She was clear about her travel plans and didn't require any assistance from us. She arrived as planned. She texted several pictures of Casey throughout the stay. It was clear from the pictures that he was comfortable with her. Everything was clean and in order when we returned home and Casey appeared to have been well cared for. We have no hesitation recommending Kathleen for your house sit.

Patrick

Patrick was great to communicate with and the cats were sweethearts. I enjoyed doing this and would recommend!

Meme

This was one of our favorite sits. Barney is so chill and independent, but can easily communicate when it’s time for more food and/or for a good neck scritch. Dolo really just wants to play fetch. Forever. Tenacious, patient and insatiable that one, and so very cute and funny!  But Carson stole our hearts - a giant stuffed animal come to life, with the sweetest “you know you want to pet me” look.  We so hope to hang with them again. 

Meme and Michael were terrific hosts and made sure we knew what we needed to know and were quick to respond when we had questions. Their home is perfect - comfy, artistic and tidy and a great location.  And inspired us to relook at ours. 

Thank you for the opportunity to meet you all and for trusting us with The Gang.

Linda

I so enjoyed this sit with Linda’s 3 furbabies. They were delightful, so well-behaved. It was lovely to meet the family before they left and Linda was extremely thoughtful, that is so appreciated by sitters. The view from the kitchen across to Mount Tambourine is awesome, so relaxing and I would love to go back. Thank you Linda.

Meriel

Had a great time looking after Suki. She’s incredibly affectionate and very easy to care for. Meriel’s home is lovely and in a superb location….perfect for exploring Brighton and the surrounding area. I highly recommend sitting for Suki and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Miranda & Graeme

Friendly dog and cuddly cats in comfortable Adelaide Hills family home. Great area for dog walking and stopping off at Joan's Pantry enroute.
Well organized hosts went to trouble of compiling Welcome Guide which made for excellent reference and easy communications. Use of car was highly appreciated!!!

Jennifer

We had a lovely and relaxing Christmas with Ruby and Bryn. They were lovely to look after and spent most of the day napping on the couch. Jennifer was very communicative and provided great instructions about looking after the dogs. Highly recommend this sit 😊
