Cat Sitters in York Cliffs, ME

Mary & Victoria

Mary was a great sitter for Stanley and our home. She was communicative, sending photos of Stanley daily as we requested. We arrived home to a very happy cat and a clean house. Mary was so kind to bring us flowers and leave a few treats for us to come home to. We would be grateful to have Mary sit again for us. Thankfully, she is local, so we know we can reach out in the future! :)

Emily

This was our second time having Emily sit and, just like the first, she was great. She was communicative throughout her stay providing updates on the dogs. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs which is all we could ask for.

Starlet

Starlet was excellent, and we enjoyed meeting her. She looked after Alice impeccably, arrived as scheduled, and all around did a great job! We would definitely ask her back.

Kristine

We were very happy with Kristine as our house- and catsitter. We had a few times contact before the sit so that we were reassured that Gijs was in good hands. Unfortunately we didn’t meet in real life but Gijs did and he was very satisfied and when we came home

Kate

We were so happy to have Kate as our Zeewoi. She took amazing care of our animals and home. We appreciated getting daily updates and photos which allowed us to feel reassured while away. Our four animals all have different personalities and needs and Kate went above and beyond to make them all feel special. We would highly recommend Kate for other sits as we had a wonderful experience with her.

Rebecca & Mark

Becca, Mark and Pixel settled in well with JJ and the hens making friends with one of the villagers and enjoying the local walks. They looked after everything really well and we came back to a clean and tidy house and happy pets! Thank you so much x

Sherry

Sherry was a perfect sitter. She was easy to contact and communicate and followed our instructions regarding house and our dog with no problem. She updated me with pictures and I felt I can relax on my holidays, knowing that Bogdan is in safe hands. We came back to a happy dog and spotless house. Thank you.

Catherine

From the moment Catherine stepped out of the car I knew Willow was going to be in the best hands! It was a quick stay but Catherine took time to come to the house early and learn the ropes and get comfortable with Willow beforehand which we so appreciated. She was great with updates during the stay, and despite Willow barking in the middle of the night, I think she still managed to enjoy snuggling with her throughout the weekend. House was immaculate when we came home, which always just a wonderful bonus to knowing our pup is in the best hands!

Stephanie

Steph and Jake were amazing sitters!! Our often slow-to-warm-up cats took to them immediately. They are clearly cat people with love to give, and we felt so at ease knowing our cats were in their capable hands. They sent us regular updates and photos, and even checked in about a couple of things they wanted to make sure were normal for the cats. Steph and Jake were friendly, self-sufficient, and left our home very clean! I'd recommend them to anyone and really hope they come sit for us again in the future! Our cats will miss them terribly! 😆

Melissa

Melissa did a great job taking care of my dog and my house. She communicated well from the beginning through the day she left, and she worked around my spotty cell service in the area I was traveling, which we had discussed in advance. She has a peaceful, reassuring presence that was a pleasure to be around, and I felt totally comfortable leaving her in charge. I can highly recommend Melissa as a sitter, and wouldn't hesitate to have her return.

Hilary

Hilary did a great job watching my fur babies! She provided me with daily pictures. She even went above and beyond and raked the leaves in the backyard! And the cats really enjoyed their time with her. Thanks Hilary! Highly recommend.

ELIZABETH

Betsy was amazing. From the first phone call to finishing the sit everything was perfect. We returned to a very happy Tom and a beautiful clean home. Tom was completely spoilt while we were away and is missing Betsy. Communication was superb with regular pictures and updates. If you ever have the chance of having Betsy sit for you. Jump at the chance. We highly recommend her and will have her back anytime.

Marion

What wonderful pet and house sitters Carmen and Brett were! We highly recommend them. Communication was first rate from the time we agreed the sit. They were great on Whatsapp, sharing about their prior sit and the lovely pets they were caring for and kept us updated on their arrival flight. We met them at the airport and had a fun handover night / welcome BBQ in our home before we departed next day. They were a delightful couple with really interesting stories of their travels and sits. This couple could manage any emergency in any country and not be phased by it. They "get shit done" (as we say in Australia) without fuss.  

They checked in on how often we wanted updates and shared plenty of pics of Bella and Kenji on their usual walks and meeting up with other dogs. They were great with our 2 dogs. They were patient with Bella's slow warming to strangers after mums departed (she's a rescue dog who doesn't give her heart easily) and worked brilliantly with our exuberant 10 month old pup as he barked at animals on the TV during their first Netflix night. They checked in for how we manage him and became pros by the 2nd night. Our pups were happy on our return and had been much loved, walked and cuddled plenty and kept to their usual familiar routine. This was the very best care you can get with a pet sitter.

Celeste

Rhiannon was flexible & communicative, ensured my pants & pets were cared for properly. She cleaned up behind herself, including stripping sheets, cleaning microwave & vacuuming.
