House Sitting in Chatham

“It's been a minute since I used Rover (eight or nine years goes by quick). I had a great Rover sitter out West many years ago when there was no whites on his face, butt, and paws. He was just a black pup then. He walked, ran, and leapt pain-free. 'Mack', like his owner, has just simply gotten older, and is described with whatever adjectives come with the word, 'old' since. Enter Angela. I reached out to her a couple weeks before I was leaving for a week, and she responded promptly. She came to my house a few days later, over the weekend, to meet him. Mack is vocal, overly so at times, and is protective of me, in spite of my attempts to dissuade that behavior, constantly, for 13 years. Get near me, he barks. Just the way it is. Angela gave him a treat here and there while being unwavered and kind to him. He was nipping her heels as I showed her around my place... ...still unwavered and kind. I knew she was the right person, and she took the job which was staying at my house with him for a week. She walked the old man every day, took excellent care of my house (absolutely not asked of her), easily navigated a farmer's dog diet, and fired happy/action pictures of my dog to me every evening. He was definitely loved. He showed his belly in return. He doesn't do that for just anyone. I could tell he was kinda bummed it was me in charge again when I returned. I wanna keep Angela to myself, but it's only fair to recommend her. She's responsible, beyond trustworthy, and truly great with doggies! Highly recommended!”

“Skyla was great! She confirmed our plans and any instructions beforehand, and kept us updated with pictures and notes. She stayed at our house and everything was left in good order - including a very happy dog:)”

“Emily was amazing! She sent tons of updates and I came home to an exhausted pup! She even did laundry after an accident (puppy problems, not Emily’s fault!) I can’t wait to work with Emily again!”

“Alexa did a fine job caring for Reilly for two weeks. He clearly felt very comfortable with her and she exudes confidence. Reilly is on a complicated medication and feeding schedule and Alexa handled it flawlessly and without fuss. The daily pics she texted were reassuring.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all kinds—big, small, energetic, and everything in between! From Huskies to Pitbulls, I’m comfortable with every breed and always provide loving, respectful care. I work full-time during the week but am available for evening visits after 5:30 PM. Most Saturdays I’m available after 1:00 PM, and I’m fully available on Sundays. I’m very reliable and love keeping pet parents updated so you always feel comfortable and confident. While I don’t offer pet care in my own home, I’m happy to care for your pet(s) in the comfort of your home where they feel most safe and relaxed. I follow all care instructions closely and can accommodate feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also available for overnight stays if needed.

“Karen communicated wonderfully, followed our requests and send photos of the babies. We were super pleased with her and will be having her back again soon next time we are away!”

“Zuzana was amazing! She walked Roosevelt every day and sent us cute photos and videos. I was afraid Roosevelt wouldn't want to come home. We will use Zuzana again for sure. Highly recommend!”

About: I've lived with, loved and cared for animals my entire 52 years of life. They are our family and friends and I hope yours will be too! My schedule is very flexible as I work at home and can set my own hours and almost always can accommodate your schedule as needed. Your pets will always be treated with gentle love and kindness, adored like a member of my family, and their safety and happiness is my number one priority.

“While we were away for a medical procedure, our 15 year old dog became quite ill, requiring lots of attention and complex caregiving — and house cleaning — as well as comforting. Caitlin managed all parts of this VERY difficult booking, which was much more than she bargained for, with competence and grace , and kept her safe and comfortable while we scheduled the Vet and raced home. We were so relieved to have such close and competent attention for our little girl, and grateful for Caitlin‘s grace and confidence at a precarious time. We can’t say enough good about Caitlin and we can’t thank herenough.”

“What could go wrong went wrong with my dog while we were out of town. Dana kept me updated on everything and got him to his vet, then brought him to the hospital. She didn’t leave my dog’s side until the hospital admitted him. He was stabilized and I now have him home! Thank you, Dana for picking up on his symptoms and getting him the care he needed!”

“Marie took care of our new puppy and older dog while we were gone for a day trip. Marie is a terrific communicator, sent tons of pics and updates, and took wonderful care of our dogs. We feel so lucky to have found her!”

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs as well as friends and family. They’ve been all sizes from big to small and all different breeds. I’ve also had a family dog and cat my whole life and I’ve helped to care for them ever since I was little. I’m currently working to find a new job after doing seasonal work, so I have ample time currently. Once I find a job I will likely be off weekends with the most free time then. I live with my parents and they have a fully fenced in yard, perfect for roaming and running around to play if your pet came to stay.

“Sadie did a wonderful job of looking after Otis this past weekend - lots of great walks with new friends and hanging out at home with Sadie and Tut! Would highly recommend!”

“Helena was fantastic. She did a great job watching my dog. Very affectionate and loving, neat and tidy around the house, great communicator, gave him his medication. Just a fantastic experience with Helena. Highly recommend.”

About: We recently moved to Harwich from Bedford, MA in Oct 2024. We love taking walks and taking car rides with our Goldens to try new trails or beaches that are pet friendly and meet other dogs and Pet Owners My Wife and I are recently retired now living in Harwich and are avid walkers. We love taking walks on the beach, Thompsons Field and neighborhoods. Our Golden has the common area free to roam and we crate her at night. We have a runner off back deck that we use while outside with her. Never let her loose unless we are with her.

“Jackie is an excellent, highly dependable, compassionate dog sitter and we would highly recommend her! She took great care of our golden, Cam, who loved his special one on one time with her. She spoiled him with great walk, massages and treats for the week we were gone. We enjoyed the pics and updates, knowing he was in the best hands. I think Cam was disappointed to have his holiday with Jackie end but we look forward to having her back again. Thank you Jackie! Two paws up from Cam🥰”

“Taigh was a lifesaver - he responded immediately to my last-minute request for help to watch our little dog and stay at our house for the long weekend. He took great care of both the dog and our house, kept us posted as to our dog's goings on, and even had his mom check in on the dog when he was going to be at work for a long stint. We really appreciated the photos and texts with updates, as well as with his stripping the bed and washing the sheets. We would definitely recommend Taigh and plan to use him again for future pet/house sitting needs.”
