Cat Sitters in Watertown, MA

Janice

Janice was so attentive to our dogs and responsive to their needs. We loved having her in our home and was so grateful that she picked us up from the airport and even had food for us when we arrived home after a red eye flight. The house was as clean as when we left it and our neighbors adore her! We hope she will come back again.

Katryn

Katryn was amazing!!! I added a work trip to a vacation so I had to have my Mom help out. Katryn lived close enough that she was able to come by and meet me and Pepper before I left on my first trip. She arrived right on time and took excellent care of Pepper. She communicated with me daily and the house was perfect when I got home. I would highly recommend Katryn for a sit!

Lisa

If I could leave Lisa more stars I certainly would!! Lisa was amazing in every way. Do not hesitate to have Lisa do a sit as she is super responsive, very kind and considerate, incredibly clean and neat, and will most likely make your pet incredibly happy. My cat, Minnie, was so happy and calm upon my return, it was so easy to see that she had been given lots of attention which I really appreciated. I hope to have Lisa sit with Minnie. It's really such a gift to share your home with someone like Lisa who you can trust will take excellent care in every way. Thank you Lisa!!

merlin

Merlin was a joy! She is very responsive and reliable. I felt very fortunate to find her. She sends updates with pics regularly, left my home very nice and tidy, and even changed the sheets (a really nice bonus when getting back from a trip)! I knew my pets were safe and in good care with Merlin. You will enjoy her if you get the opportunity to have her come stay.

Melanie

Without a doubt, Melanie was the best pet sitter! Our dog Murphy loved her as soon as she walked in the door. Melanie has a calming energy and is so loving with animals. She was responsive, on time, very responsible. and left our place tidy and clean. I will be choosing Melanie again and I recommend you do too!

Katherine

Kate was an exceptional house sitter, providing us with complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with plenty of photos of Zeus and treated him to numerous long walks, spoiling him rotten! Kate was always accessible if we had any queries. Upon our return, we were thrilled to find our home immaculate and spotless. We wholeheartedly invite Kate to return anytime!

Victoria & Patrick

Victoria and Patrick were easy to communicate and plan with and were great with Lola! They sent me updates and pictures daily and we returned home to a clean house and a pooped pup. Would definitely have them sit for us again!

Effie

Effie was great ! Keep me up to date on Raleigh and took care of my house well. Would host her again!

Marisa

Marisa was amazing! She kept in great contact and went above and beyond to take care of our pup and our home! We are definitely going to keep in contact to have her hopefully sit for us again.

Matine Khalighi

Matine was only able to meet Bruc one time as the poor dog passed suddenly the night prior to Matine's arrival. A very unhappy situatioin for me. However Matine clearly interacted beautifully with Bruc on the meet and greet and he took excellent care of the apartment and was organized and caring in all communication. I was extremely happy having him as a sitter and would highly recommend him.

Elizabeth & Brian

Elizabeth was an amazing pet sitter. From the first phone conversation we had I liked Elizabeth, felt completely assured having her in my home and taking care of my two cats. She went above and beyond any expectations I might have had. She genuinely seemed to love and appreciate the quirkiness of my two babies... it really enhances one's time away to get texts and photos that really convey a pet sitter is having fun at the sit. One of my cats is an outdoor cat and it can be challenging to get him inside only because I don't have a cat door. Elizabeth went far above and beyond what was necessary to make sure Max wasn't ever outside overly long. In fact, he seemed to come inside far more with her here than when it's just me. She played with both of them and on her watch they started playing together for the first time. The house was clean and tidy upon my return and I would welcome Elizabeth back any time. You can't go wrong asking her to sit for you!

Nicole

Nicole was a great house sitter. She left the house absolutely spotless, and was in contact with us throughout her stay keeping us up to speed on the dogs. We definitely recommend Nicole!

Natalie

Taylor and Stevend watched over our three dogs and home for 2 nights. From the very beginning, both Taylor and Stevend were very professional and flexible. We first conducted a FaceTime Q & A to get to know each other and answer any question anyone had. We immediately knew they were going to be a great fit for our pups. 

Both Taylor and Stevend visited the home prior to the sit in order to meet in person, meet the pups, and go over some instructions/routines. Upon arriving and meeting the dogs, Taylor & Stevend immediately made our dogs feel comfortable and really made an effort to get to know each one of them. 

During the stay, Taylor and Stevend provided us with both text updates, photos, and even video updates. Both went above and beyond to make sure all three dogs were taken care of the entire sit. We would gladly have them both back to watch over our pups and home in the future.

Jordan

Good communicator. Very clean. Took super good care of our two Bernedoodles. Felt very safe leaving our home in the care of Sam!
