Dog Sitters in Reading, MA

Zoe

Zoe was a great housesitter. We came home to happy, healthy animals and a house in the same condition we left it in. She sent pictures while we were gone and updated me periodically on their status, which I appreciated. We would happily arrange another sit with Zoe.

Matthew

Matthew and Jessica took good care of Rosie, Jack, and Woody. They enjoyed their time here and left our condo in good shape. They borrowed our car and filled up the gas tank, which we appreciated

Marissa

Marissa is a stellar house and dog sitter. She made a point of coming over a few days before our trip to meet our dog Ollie and to acquaint herself with the house. Thankfully for us, she was very flexible in her schedule as our flight home was cancelled due to weather and she was able and willing to stay an extra night at the house. She's very personable and clearly a dog-lover. Ollie took to her immediately and it appeared that they enjoyed each other's company. The house was in excellent shape when we returned. She really took great care of Ollie and the house.

Lori

Lori was fabulous, kind, great communicator and loving pet sitter.

Amy

Amy was a wonderful sitter for Nubs and Zazzles! She is kind and easy to communicate with and left my house clean and tidy. I know the kitties were very well taken care of and I’d have her back to sit again any time. Thanks again, Amy!

Jennifer

This was the second time Ife sat for us. She was everything we could ask for and we would gladly ask Ife to sit again. She cared for our pets and home as we do.

Michelle

although a short stay, we could tell our pup loved his time with michelle! she is communicative, neat, and enthusiastic - it’s clear that she loves animals. we’d welcome her back anytime!

Nyamal

It was such a pleasure having Nyamal stay at my home for 6 weeks while I was away in France. She took excellent and loving care of my 3 cats. My home was in great shape when I returned, equally clean as when I left. I appreciated Nyamal for sending me frequent photos of my cats and she easily asked questions when she had them. I felt my home and cats were lovingly cared for. It was a pleasure to have her in my home.

Faith

Faith was super attentive to our kitty. Very respectful and flexible. She's one of my go-to sitters!

Kimberly

Kimberly went above and beyond! She was a godsend when our little guy was sick. We can’t thank her enough!

Al & Rab

Al and her partner were incredible pet sitters for Banjo! I could tell in every photo he was happy and cared for. She was great with updates and communicating any potential concerns. My apartment was clean and tidy when I returned, and I had a happy dog. 10/10 would recommend!

Tyler

I so appreciated Tyler. He was very pleasant to work with, quick to respond and easy to set up a zoom house tour. Our animals and house were in great shape following his visit. He gets extra stars for flexibility. Our plans changed and we came home a day early (letting him know of course.) Tyler was willing to switch sleeping rooms and joined our family for dinner. Very enjoyable man and I'd happily have him again.

Debbie

Jason and Barbara were great house sitters. When they left, the house was very clean (and so were the dogs!!).  They communicated several times throughout the sit and provided pictures.  The dogs got to go out on several hikes and visit the dog parks. I would strongly recommend them to others and would gladly welcome them back for future sits with my furry family.

Jennifer

Katie is awesome! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/pet sit again and highly recommend her!
She looked after our house and our older lab mix dog while we were away. Her communication while we were gone was great, she was very responsive. She left our home very clean and even did the bedding and bathroom laundry without us requesting it. She left our home very clean!
Our dog had a flair-up of an old injury while we were away that caused him to limp and not be able to walk very well for several days. Katie was a great person to have around during his injury, she let me know updates on how he was doing and her instincts about how to take care of him were spot on. She handled things exactly the way I would have.
Having Katie look after our home and our dog gave us great peace of mind while away! We loved having her!

Suzanne

Peter and Yvonne were extraordinary. While I didn’t think it possible that anyone would love and care for our animals the way I do, I was proven wrong! They took to my animals quirks right from the outset and updated me daily with pictures or concerns. Albus, my spirited one, was happy and seemed to have fallen in love with them both.

Edie and Clair were figured out in a few short days - Edie the alpha and Clair, the more coddled one. I up was especially taken that any little behavioral issue that they questioned, they came right to me to diagnose or trouble shoot. It made me feel as though they really cared!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this reliable couple and I would have them back in a heartbeat. I got sad when it was over but was thrilled my animals were so well cared for while we were away!  Not to mention that they also watered and cared for the house and other duties while we were away. Thank you Peter and Yvonne!

Michael

The house was amazing and centrally located, providing a perfect environment for solitude and work. The cats were chill—Valero was sweet, and Pemex observed from a distance before warming up. The process of getting in and out was smooth, and the host was very communicative. I would definitely sit for them again.
