Cat Sitters in Somerville, MA

Craig

Craig and Jon were the best. We couldn't have hoped for better people to take care of our cats and our home. They are exactly how they come across on their profile - Friendly, professional, trust worthy and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed getting their updates and pictures and it was such a joy to come back to a cosy, tidy home. The cats loved them. We feel truly lucky to have met them and we hope they can come back to sit for us in the future.

Rebecca

If I could give ten stars for this family I would without reservation. I’ve never had a family with children sit for our cat and have always been nervous to do it. This family removed any fear. Their children are delightful and seemed very sweet and kind to Scout. Rebecca and Alex were very responsive and trustworthy. I got a daily update and Scout could not have seemed more happy. When we got home the entire house was cleaner than we left it. We absolutely recommend them and would be happy to have them pet sit anytime.

Judith & Rochel

Judith took great care of olive and sent me daily photos! my apartment was spotless when I returned.

Shannon

Shannon was an exceptional sitter who cared for our pets, condo and plants over 6 weeks. She was super detailed oriented, she perfectly cared for our pets and left our condo in prestine conditions. She was easy to communicate with, kind, respectful and just an overall pleasure to have sitting for us. We would love to have her pet sit again in the future.

Alexander

Alex and his friend were great sitters while we were gone. He made sure he was doing the right things with the dogs and left the place very clean!

Ted

Ted was a wonderful dog sitter. Our pups miss him already. Ted is very self-reliable and responsible. He walked the dogs every day, updated me regularly, and kept the home in great order. It was a pleasure meeting him and I knew my home and dogs were in great care. I invited him back again in the future and would recommend him for any sitting needs.

Jazmine & Grisel

Jazmine came in as a last minute house sitter and was absolutely WONDERFUL!! I unexpectedly extended my trip and was unable to be at home to orient her to my place or the care of Allie and Flash. However, she worked wonderfully with the House Sitter that was already here for the handoff of Allie and Flash! She sent me plenty of pictures and communicated often to keep me at ease that everyone continued to do well. Prior to my return, she made everything super clean! She even picked me up at the airport and brought me home!! She is absolutely wonderful and Allie and Flash definitely want to see her again! :)

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.

Monica

Monica did an amazing job of taking care of Oli and our home while we were traveling for 2+ weeks. She arrived a day early, which was really nice to get her accustom to Oli's needs and our home. She also provided regular updates on WhatsApp and we came home to a clean home, just the way we left it. We would feel fortunate to have Monica spoil Oli again with a future sit!

Allison

Allison was great! She took wonderful care of our pet, Chadwick. She provided daily updates with pictures. Allison went above and beyond what we asked of her and left our place clean and tidy for us to come home to.

Sarah

Sarah was a great dog/house sitter, I would gladly have her at my home again! She genuinely cared about ensuring my house and precious boy were happy. I have an Aussie, so they can be quarky and hard to warm up to strangers and she did a great job giving him space and love until he felt comfortable. Thank you so much!

Kaitlyn & Jose Tomas

Kaitlyn and Jose were wonderful house guests and sitters. While away, I received continuous updates and pictures of my fur babies. The house was neat and clean upon my return home. I highly recommend Kaitlyn and Jose! Thank you for giving such wonderful care to my fur babies. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands during my absence.

Holly

Andy and Danice took excellent care of our kitty, Maria Valentina!  They sent us daily updates and pictures, which put our minds at ease.  Maria took to them right away!   They even bought her a new toy, which she now brings to us when she wants to play.   

Our house and plants were well cared for by Andy and Danice.  They left it in pristine condition.  

We highly recommend Andy and Danice as pet/house sitters.  They are very reliable, excellent communicators, true animal lovers, and all-around good people.

YANIRA

Karen and Paul are the best ever! I think we have found our pet surrogates. Our dogs clearly love them and we love the sense of security they offer while we are away traveling. Can't say enough about how much we appreciate Karen and Paul. Would love to have them over and over again.
