Cat Sitters in West Newton, MA

Heather

Happy to have Heather stay at ours while we were away! Turned out our friends took wee Jet while we were gone, but we wanted to still be able to offer heather a place to stay, lovely person through and through! Look forward to staying in touch and having paths cross again. X

Charles

Charles gave a lot of extra love and attention to my dog beyond what I expected. It was such a relief to know our dog was being taken care of so well while we were out of town. I hope to work with Charles again.

Eleanor

Eleanor looked after Pip whilst we went to USA for our daughters weeding. Pip was less than a year old so we were quite anxious to find the right person. Pip was well looked after by the couple and in extremely good condition when we got back after 2 weeks away. It was obviously also from the WhatsApp messages and photos that they looked after her extremely well.

Amanda

Amanda and Kaitlyn were wonderful sitters for our elderly cat, Chloe. They left the apartment clean and were responsive during planning and the sit itself.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a rock star! She is so kind and thoughtful. Our dog, Buddy, quickly become best buds with her. He has several health problems, including diabetes, requiring a shot after every meal. She rose to the occasion and gave him great care! Plus, I swear our apartment was cleaner than when we left it! We would have her stay again in a heartbeat.

Janet

We did not get a chance to meet Janet but she was a lovely sitter. She seemed to genuinely enjoy hanging out with our dogs and sent great photos and video. Communication was excellent and house was very clean. Highly recommended!

Csaba

Csaba and Andrea were amazing! We are so happy to have found them. They took great care of our dogs and house and went above and beyond in every respect. Plus they are incredibly nice people with whom we hope to remain friends.

Mary

We loved having Mary sit for Yukon and Ophelia! She and her family gave them lots of attention and love and we are so glad they were able to be here. Mary checked in frequently and asked questions where needed. Hoping we can stay in touch for future sits.

Max

Max did a great job. She connected with our dog from the first day and provided excellent care and support. She also took care of our house and maintained communication throughout our time away. We give her the highest recommendation!

Kasey

Kasey and Alejandro were the perfect house sitters and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone! My kitties were happy and chill when I got home, the place was clean, and all was good in the hood. Kasey was very reliable and an excellent communicator both before and during the sit, asked all the right questions, and sent great pictures each day. I had total peace of mind and knew that the cats were very well cared for. I will definitely ask them to sit for me in the future and I hope they are available!

Jennifer & Jephta

Jennifer & Jephta were wonderful sitters! We got daily updates of the cats with photos, which we love. Upon our return, the house was just as we'd left it- clean and tidy :) And the cats had been well cared for! We would happily have them again and surley recommend them for future sits.

Rachid

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rachid took care of our dog, Laila, for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with his service. When we returned, Laila was happy and well taken care of. The house looked great, and our plants were thriving. Rachid kept in touch throughout our trip, sending updates and pictures, which was so reassuring. I highly recommend Rachid to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Nat

Absolutely amazing humans! 😍 Luna and Raph are the most loving and caring people and went above and beyond to ensure our two dogs were treated the best care possible. They send regular photo, video and message updates with loads of play time, walks and cuddles in the photos. They treated our dogs as their own family ☺️ and we were blown away by how much loving energy they put in to ensuring our deaf and partially blind Dachshund felt safe and happy. Their energy around the dogs remained long after they left, and the dogs even went looking around their bedroom for them. 💞 They left the house immaculate and cleaned all their bedding and towels. We couldn’t speak more highly of Luna and Raph. We wish you both well in your travels and hope to stay in touch! Thank you! 🙏🏼 🤍

Diane

We nailed it again!  This site draws the best people ever.  From the time Gina's sit was confirmed, I knew we had found another gem.  She called me early on and we talked more about our lives than the upcoming sit!  It was nice to get to know Gina, at least a little, before her arrival.  It allowed for a very easy intro/greeting and transition.  Gina clearly knows her animals- including hens.  She was a natural with Roxy and Oakley right away.  Neither dog acted sad or anxious when we pulled out of the driveway.  I'm sure it was because they sensed Gina's genuine kindness and love for animals.  We came home to an immaculate house.  We look forward to future sits with Gina- and next time we will do our traditional night-before arrival so we can chat until 2 a.m.  We had a lot in common and the dogs loved her.
