Top rated Holden house sitters
“Ann, Thank you for taking such good care of my fur babies while I was out of the country. Your daily updates and photographs were so helpful with my anxiety about leaving them. I especially loved that you asked me if you could bring them to a dog park and take them for a puppachino! Field trips! You stayed in my home, were very respectful and the house was sparkling clean when I returned. I'll definitely be using you for walks and my upcoming trips! THANK YOU! Michele, Rory and Sophie”
“Eko and Sarah were fabulous and compassionate dog and house sitters for us when we went away recently! They were incredibly conscientious and were great at sending updates. They went above and beyond to help my dog settle in to the transition of us being away, including extra walks and games to help keep him from engaged. I highly recommend them!”
“My wife and I had an excellent experience with Jen! From the very beginning, her communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. She demonstrated a true passion for caring for animals, and it was evident in every interaction. She paid incredible attention to detail, following all of my instructions carefully and making sure my pets felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I really appreciated how she kept me updated regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her dedication and genuine care for animals make her a standout pet sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since childhood— primarily my high energy childhood dog who lived to 18 😇! I’m very used to the time and attention your high energy pet might need and have extensive experience with senior pets who may need special accommodations. I currently have two cats and have been a frequent pet sitter for both cats and dogs. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets!! I’m a graduate student who can typically accommodate a flexible schedule— including midday walks and drop-ins during the week with notice. Morning and evening walks/drop-ins easy to accommodate any day! I have two cats at home who have a very comfortable life and are frequently checked in on. When I am away I ensure someone is there multiple times a day to keep them company and make sure all is well at home. I am happy to do the same thing for your pets so that you can have the same peace of mind when you are away and know that your pet is cared for!
“Amanda was super prompt and responsive while we were out of town! She stayed at our home with our clingy border collie and gave great updates and pictures - they got out and about as much as possible during a heatwave but had plenty of snuggles and scritches inside in the AC. She left the house in perfect order. We would love to have her stay again in the future!”
“Logan is the best cat sitter I have hired and this was our 3rd in-house stay with him! Not only is he attentive to my socially needy cat, he keeps me informed of what's going on so I don't have to worry at all. He recently stayed in our house for a week while we were abroad. I felt very comfortable with him there. He always leaves the house very clean and Leo seems to love him. I am thrilled that we found Logan!”
“MacKenna was fantastic! She spent time with us and Nola prior to the visit to help Nola acclimate, it was clear MacKenna was comfortable with all types of animals. Nola is an anxious pup but settled well with her from the get go. During the homestay she gave us updates and photos to keep us in the loop. Would highly recommend!”
“Danielle was wonderful with our dogs!! We have one very nervous dog and she did great with Danielle. Communication was great. We even recieved videos of our guys playing while we were away. We would definitely recommend Danielle, and use her again.”
“Sammy did a wonderful job caring for our pets: Zeiss, Freya, Reggie and the chickens! She was excellent about communicating daily by reaching out with questions or concerns, and providing a daily summary of how things went. In addition, she left a final day's report to let us know if we were running low on any supplies. I found Sammy to be respectful, communicative, responsible and she left the house neat and clean. The ONLY room for improvement would be if Freya was walked on her leash; - she is a puller and strong willed though, so I understand why! Sammy was wonderfully patient with Freya and her escapades of escaping our yard, and we worked together to find the right solution for keeping her safe and getting outdoor time. I can tell our cat loved the attention he got and I think he misses Sammy!”
“Jess was fantastic and showed Clay a lot of attention while we were away. She was very quick to respond when we had questions and sent lots of pictures during her time with Clay. I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing someone to look after their fur child while away from home.”
“Rebecka is kind, thoughtful and detail oriented. She cared well for our anxious senior pup and made decisions in Mellows best interest 100% of the time. Rebecka is terrific! 100/100 recommend her-”
About: Growing up, I was the kid who naturally gravitated towards the animal in a crowded room. I find comfort and peace in the presence of animals and in taking care of them. Over the past 5 years, I’ve been trusted to pet sit for my neighbors and friends while they’ve been away from home. I have special experience taking care of senior dogs, giving them their medicine (pills, insulin injections, eyedrops) at scheduled times. I am currently working part-time in Worcester while I look for a full-time job in the education field or nonprofit sector, so I have a pretty wide availability throughout the week. When taking care of pets in my own home, I gradually introduce the animal to my family (if they seem nervous or scared) before fully integrating them into my home. When I'm at a client's home, I always make sure to lock the doors when I leave a house, clean up any messes, and double-check that the animal I'm caring for has enough food and water, and has been given enough love and pets.
“We spent a weekend away without our pups, and I’m very happy with the care provided! The communication was good, and I came home to very happy dogs. Taking care of three big dogs can be a lot, but that wasn’t an issue for Mo! My dogs took to Mo right away, and I felt very comfortable leaving them knowing they were in great hands. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Mo!”
“We booked Tosya again for a short getaway and were comforted knowing our dogs were in good hands! Not only did she take care of the dogs but the house as well, being respectful of the space. Would suggest Tosya to anyone in the area needing a sitter!”
“We came home to a happy and well cared for dog! Haleigh sent us updates and pictures throughout the week to let us know how our dog was doing! We loved getting these updates.”
“Nadine is wonderful! She is an experienced rabbit sitter and gave Frankie the best care. She is kind, attentive, and a clear animal lover. We knew Frankie was in good hands. We will definitely be using her again.”

Sidnhy C.
“Sidnhy has been the most wonderful, smart, caring, loving and responsible dog caregiver for our dog, Oscar. Sydnhy has taken care of Oscar for the past few years and is able to give insulin injections and medications as well a special diet to Oscar, who is 11 years old and diabetic. Taking care of our dog is much more than a job for Sidnhy. She shows a genuine interest in Oscar and his well being. When Sidnhy has not been available for last minute walks, she has recruited her sister to fill in. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Sidnhy take care of his/her pet. She is a very special person.”
