House Sitting in Marlborough

“Doreen and Cindy were excellent house guests and took very good care of our dogs. We have a very shy dog that took to them immediately which put us at ease for travel. Would recommend.”

“Stacie took great care of our three dogs! She was also tidy while staying in our home, and was a great communicator. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch the pups again, and would highly recommend her services.”

“Maddy did a fantastic job sitting with our pup! She was very attentive to our needs. Rupert, our pup, absolutely adored her. I could tell from the first time they met, but more than that, he didn't look like he had lost weight when we returned. That means to me that he didn't miss us as much as usual ;) I also was happy with the updates. I knew she was enjoying him just as much as he did her. She not only took great care of Rupert but of our house and plants too! I highly recommend her. She is the best!”

“Megan was attentive, sent great pictures and updates, and our dog was very happy….”

“Eli has spent a lot of time with my dogs. He shows them so much love, immediately getting on the floor to greet the puppy playfully, and responding to the older dog with belly rubs and affection. Eli demonstrates an understanding of dog behavior and development such as positively redirecting the teething puppy with chew toys. He is responsible and timely, showing up when he says that he will. I trust Eli with my dogs not only because of the observable interactions, but also because he genuinely loves my dogs. I highly recommend Eli as a responsible, experienced caregiver for dogs.”

“Diane was fantastic, she watched our two dogs and stayed at our house while we were out of state for over a week. On the initial meet, our dogs were immediately comfortable around her (one of our dogs is a rescue and very skittish around new people). She knew how to approach her slowly, and our dog was comfortable within minutes. She provided regular updates during the stay, and communicated any concerns she had with them. The house was cleaner than when we left it, and our dogs were in great condition. We will be using her again the next time we travel and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Adrianna was great! She came through on short notice and took great care of my pup and house!”

“Emmalea was very communicative during her stay watching my dog. Darwin was very happy when I arrived home! She also made sure everything was picked up prior to my other dog sitter coming.”

“Julia Was Exceptional. She Took Such Good Care of Beau. She Listened Intently to How I Was Caring for the Boy (Who Has a Broken Leg After Getting Hit By a Car). I Was Relaxed by Her Professionalism & Dedication to Being There for Him.”

“If we could give more than five stars, we would!! Tamara was a wonderful communicator, who left our house in a better state than when we left it – – and Bucky was incredibly well taken care of. Our return flight was delayed, and Tamara went out of her way to make sure we didn’t stress about the timing and her flexibility with chaotic travel was very much appreciated. Would definitely book again!”

“It is my pleasure to let you know about Margaret's love for animals. She has cared for and nutured my pets over the years. Minnie , my current dog is sweet and also very active. It is assuring to know that my pet caregiver has the energy to keep up with her. Margaret is also very intuitive. My pup is not very verbal when it comes to her needs. Minnie speaks with her eyes. Margaret has learned what each expression means. I have watched her with her pets and other along the way. I can say she is a kindred spirit.”

About: I’ve always had well behaved dogs and cats. Currently we have two dogs, a 2 1/2 year old rescued lab mix and a senior pug mix. We also have some other animals, 4 indoor cats, 6 outdoor cats, chickens that free range, ducks and rabbits. When I was in high school and junior high I walked dogs after school and in the summers I house and dog sat this included dogs with strict diets, training routines and all activity levels. I make my own work schedule so I can work around you! I currently spend most of my time working on or from my property. We have a large yard for long leashed fetch with local hiking trails connected to the property for daily walks. The house has a large gated porch with a pond view that our pups can spend the whole day looking at but it also connects to small fenced yard area. For indoor space we have a spare bedroom and all different size crates. Well behaved pups will also be aloud in the main living area. All animals are different I want to be respectful of your pets needs and provide them comfort and fun distractions while they eagerly await your return.

“Dakota did great with my very anxious, fear-aggressive dog. He also kept the puppy on a great house training routine. Dakota responded quickly and was available on short notice.”

“Excellent pet sitter!! I felt confident leaving for the day knowing katie was taking care of my animals. She was flexible with times, sent me updates and was a pleasure to work with. My animals really liked her! Will definitely use Katie again when I need pet care in the future!”

“Came in in a pinch and was absolutely fantastic! Would absolutely book again.😊”

About: I currently have two golden retrievers, Queso and Roux. I had a blue heeler/aussie shep mix and a cocker spaniel/German short haired pointer mix. My family has also raised two puppy litters too! The second litter being bottle fed. I currently serve on the board of a local nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Newfoundland Pony. I have been volunteering with this organization since 2015. When I'm not with my animals or volunteering, I love to road trip around the US. Safety for all is my number one. I have some experience with reactive dogs. I am very careful during visits to ensure that we reach a positive outcome everytime.

“Sarah was the perfect dog/house sitter. She is clearly experienced and understood the needs of our dog. She sent us photos while we were away and our dog looked happy and content in all of them. Sarah did everything we asked and I will definitely hire her again in the future. I highly recommend her without reservation!”

“I was glad to have Audrey meet Quinn. He is young and can still be a challenge but I believe they enjoyed themselves, and it saved me worry about him being home alone.”

“Janina has been a blessing. She is communicative, reliable, super friendly and excellent with our our pets. The fact that she has formal kennel experience was reassuring to us, that she could handle anything. We had peace of mind while away from the house. As it turns out, our dogs and cats were so comfortable with her that they slept most of the time we were gone. I will be booking with Nina again soon!”

“Julia is a very reliable person when it comes to taking care of puppies! Over the summer while me and my family went away I dropped off my poodle (snoopy) to her for a few days and he had a great time. She played with him in the backyard made him a cute little bed for him to sleep in (he loved it!!), and I say this lightly but he might actually like her more than he likes me... when I picked him back up the following Tuesday he came home tired and wiped out from a weekend of fun!”
