Top rated Chelmsford cat sitters
“Stephanie is a great pet sitter! She's very friendly, caring and kind. My cat, Domino, warmed up to her right away and she took time to play with him during her drop-ins. I loved getting daily pictures of Domino and a little run down of each drop-in!”
“Adriana was lovely! She updated us on how the kitties were doing, she was very professional by scheduling to meet us beforehand, and left us a sweet little card and gift. I would 10000% recommend her!”
“Always a pleasure to book with Eric. He is really attentive, follows the schedule and pays close attention to detail, and Maple is always so excited to see him. His messages are descriptive and he sends plenty of pictures. Perfect experience and couldn’t be happier with his service.”
“Lisa is so sweet and the best sitter ever! Our cat loved her, and we’re were happy knowing he was well taken care of while we were away. Sent cute photos and responded very quickly.”
“Kristen is amazing!!! She needed to shovel her way in to feed our cats one night, *and* she had to clean up one of my forgetful messes, but Kristen stops at nothing to make sure our home and pets are well cared for! She also managed to befriend my very suspicious cats— no easy feat! Will definitely use Kristen again when needed! 🙌🙌”
“Jazmin was the perfect sitter. She came on time and completed all tasks perfectly. She followed up with pictures of her visit. We could not be happier with the service provided by Jazmin. Highly recommend.”
“This is the second time we've booked Michelle to watch our kitten, Buddy, in her beautiful home. This is pet heaven with multiple toys and a calm, friendly atmosphere. Buddy is well cared for and returns home relaxed with no issues! We highly recommend Michelle and her family for cat boarding!!”
“Nathan was wonderful! Provided a daily status on my girls and made sure they were well cared for. Would definitely recommend him for pet sitting services! Thanks again, Nathan!”
“Alyssa was so great!! We have a cat that gets cranky and skittish when we leave, but Alyssa was SO patient with him and was so attentive. She took great care of him and went above and beyond. I’d absolutely book with Alyssa again if/when we go away again. Thank you!!”
“Ashley was very helpful and proactive in taking care of our cat while we were away. She was on-time for every single drop-in visit and gave timely updates which put us at ease throughout our vacation. She also followed every single instruction which we had left for her and was also able to pill out cat successfully. Your pet will be in great hands if Ashley's pet sitting for you!”
“Renee was wonderful with our cat Milo. She was very attentive to our instructions, and asked any questions about her stop-ins that she needed additional information on. We know he was well-cared for while we were away, and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I have owned or cared for 4 legged friends for most of my life. Family and friends have had me care for their pets since I was about 12, but owning my own really made me love them. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, but I have a special place in my heart for larger breed dogs and orange cats. I would love to help reinforce your dogs training, encourage socialization and exercise in settings such as the dog park, neighborhood walks, and stores, and am passionate that animals are part of a family. I am comfortable feeding both dogs and cats, and have experience medicating both. I'm a stay at home mom with a kiddo who is in elementary school, so my schedule tends to be flexible depending on the day and school schedules. Please be aware that if a visit or walk is scheduled on a day that there is no school, (such as a holiday or vacation), or a time that school is not in session (half days, weekends, or after school hours) my daughter may join me. I love going for walks and exploring new areas, but can also happily cuddle a furry friend. I am able to feed, pick up after, and care for animals with confidence. I am comfortable taking instruction and will do my absolute best to make sure that you are happy with my visit with your furry family member. I don't worry about bigger dogs, they're just more to love! Meeting a new dog prior to the first visit is a requirement for my services.
“I highly recommend Kay for watching your pet. Kay was prompt with the appointments I scheduled and sent me pictures during the day she watched our dog. I look forward to being a repeat customer of Kay’s, thank you Kay for taking care of Jenny for us.”
“This was our first time using Melanie's service, and the first time leaving our 2y old whippet Willow alone for an extended period of time (12 hours). Willow could sense we would be gone for a while and howled for the first 5 minutes after we left (we watched her on our webcam). Melanie came for two one-hour visits and followed my detailed instructions to the letter. I communicated to her Willow's experience when we left and she said she'd be sure to give Willow extra TLC, which she clearly did. Each time I checked the webcam, Willow was lying on or in her bed snoozing. Melanie came at lunchtime for an hour and let Willow out to do her business and then played with her in the backyard, giving her the treats I left on the counter when she left. Melanie came again at supper time, took Willow out back again, and then gave her dinner. She followed my instructions to mix the refrigerated raw food and veggies with the dry kibble and spent extra time with Willow keeping her company. Melanie shared several pictures at each visit and was in continual contact during the day, letting me know her ETA for each visit. We will surely use Melanie again and highly recommend her.”
“Christy was great! Appreciate the clear communication and updates on my kitties. Even though our group is shy, she made sure to snap pics from their hiding spots. She also went above and beyond bringing in a package we’d had delivered taking it in from the front steps. Thank you!”
About: Howdy, fur-families! With 15+ years of experience, my approach is personalized for each client: I work closely with you to ensure your pet's daily routine and comfort are prioritized, and I’ll go the extra mile for the special attention or care needed for different pets. It's my utmost goal to ensure that your pets feel safe and pampered while you are away. Let’s work together! I currently work at a dog daycare in Chelmsford from 7am-1pm, focusing on drop-ins and occasional walking after my shift. My schedule is highly flexible, available M-F after 1:30pm and weekends holidays from 8am-8pm. Happy to coordinate and adjust to your needs as well! When caring for your four-legged family members, I prioritize working closely with you to understand their routines, personalities, needs, and preferences. I pay close attention to details to ensure that your pets maintain their normalcy and comfort while you’re away. During my visits, I prioritize the safety and security of both your pets and home, checking doors and windows upon arrival and departure to create a secure environment. I follow your house rules and cleaning preferences, while also addressing any specific needs your pet might have. Maintaining open communication is crucial to me, so I regularly provide updates with photos or notes about your beloved pets. My goal is to always ensure that each pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared-for while you’re away.
