Cat Sitters in South Windsor, CT

Elizabeth

Elizabeth was an excellent sitter. She is clearly an animal lover and was in tune with our cats, especially bonding with Daisy who loves company and cuddles and attention, but also winning over slightly more picky Saffy. Liz kept us informed throughout the sit with photos and news and we came home to two contented and calm cats. The house was neat and tidy, the sheets and towels in the wash, and everything clean. We are glad she liked our area and Bushy Park and made use of our bicycle to explore. We have no hesitation in recommenting Liz and hope to see her again in the future.

Hope & Gerald

Hope and Gerald did a great job taking care of the cats and our home. Hope was great with communication, sending pics of the cats often. She managed the small things that came up, and texted about any bigger questions. She left the house extremely tidy and even washed the sheets!! Would absolutely have her back if she ever wanted. Thanks!

Lisa

Lisa was excellent! Very responsive & the dogs loved her. House was kept in superb condition. Highly recommend!

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is such an amenable and reliable housesotter - it’s a breeze to work with her. She is very organized, clear about arrivals and departures, attentive to our cats and very good about sending photos and updates every few days. She works from home so she spent more time with them than we sometimes do, and both parties seemed to relish each other’s company! Elizabeth is also smart, thoughtful and resourceful.

Monica

Monica was our first experience of a house and pet sitter and was absolutely fantastic! From initial contact and ongoing communication leading up to her stay through to her arrival, animal and house care and on to her departure EVERYTHING was exemplary. Monica bonded very quickly with our 2 dogs and 1 cat and took an emergency vet visit in her stride. All animals were very settled when we returned and the house was immaculate. If you need a sitter and Monica is available - book her!!

Virna

Virna was awesome in every way. She is great. You and your fur babies will be happy with her as your sitter.

Frank & Amber

Frank and Amber had great communication. Left the house clean and tidy. Had the dogs out on nice long walks and seemed to truly enjoy sitting our eccentric puppers! Lovely folks, we recommend them for anyone looking for great caretakers.

John

John is an amazing dog sitter. Our old pooch took to him immediately as if they were old friends. The night we got back our dog went searching for John at bedtime, missing him already. During his first night at our house a tree fell on our porch and garage. John sent us photos and assured us that no damaged happened to any windows or roofs. Communication was clear and easy and John was quite flexible about timing. Our house was immaculate upon our return and John even managed to get the bed linens washed and dried before we got back. YOU can't go wrong with John.

Michelle & Roman

What an awesome couple! Michelle and Roman were everything we hoped for ... and more. Buzz was well taken care of, pictures of them on the beach, in the yard, relaxing on the deck ... all made us feel very comfortable with our choice. In fact, Michelle and Nadine are looking to find ways to get together in the future just to catch up and laugh. We would have no reservations about providing a great reference for Michelle and Roman, and we would highly recommend using them for your pet/home. You won't be disappointed. Nadine & Jeff

Sarah

This is the second visit here for Sarah. She was an excellent sitter, who paid lots of attention to our kitties and left our house very tidy. It was so nice to have her stay at our place once again, and we hope she will come back in the future!

Claire

We enjoyed having Claire as our petsitter! Our senior dog really took to her as well as our more-friendly cat. She did great when our senior dog had diarrhea, and I appreciated her communications throughout our trip. I would definitely recommend Claire.

David

David was a great help to us with Willow's care. He was very flexible and took the time to learn her routine and preferences. David came twice to our house to become familiar with her. He had a kind and gentle manner her. We would highly recommend him.

Anna

It's very clear from the first time I met Lissa at our initial meeting to the photos she shared daily of Marcus snuggling with Norm that they are definitely pet people! Norm, my 8 year old pup, instantly took to Lissa when she came over to meet him and I know he was in good hands. It sounds like they barely left his side, so I'm sure he was very sad to see them go. They left the home in great order, everything was neat and tidy, including how nicely they put their sheets into the wash and made up the bed. I trusted them implicitly as it's easy to tell they are good people and just the kind of housesitters anyone would feel comfortable leaving in charge of their baby. Super responsive via text and sent daily pic updates of the pup and their activities.  Lissa also checked in and gave me clear information on exactly what time she was leaving on the final day, what Norm had done as far as eating, drinking, bathroom before she left and to confirm everything was all set. It was such a big relief to have them available for this last minute need and to know they had it all handled, especially when I was in a distracted state dealing with a family emergency. I would highly recommend them to anyone and would love to use them again, in fact I've just reached out to see if they can take another upcoming sit I have!

Linda and Phillip

I think our dog will miss their daily walks.  We came home to a happy pet and a tidy house.  The detailed spreadsheet they left was helpful.  We would definitely invite them again.    Thanks so much!
