Top rated North Waltham pet sitters
“Yick-hong was great with my cats! They were reliable and attentive and would absolutely recommend. I received daily updates and plenty of photos to keep my mind at ease while I was away. I will likely be working with Yick-hong again in the future!”
“Katy is a true professional with a clear love for what she does and the animals she cares for! Our pup is a gentle giant who is nervous at baseline, and it took her no time at all to warm up to Katy. Her ability to learn the ins and outs of our Bailey in such a short time was remarkable, and we highly recommend her services to anyone who is hesitant to leave their dog in anyone else’s care!”
“LIsa was very amiable and did everything that was requested of her; she also sent over pics of my cat to show that he was doing okay. Would absolutely recommend Lisa for any other pet-sitting jobs.”
“I couldn't have chosen a better sitter to drop-in for my dog and cat during my short getaway. Rilee was phenomenal while caring for my two fur babies. They got lots of attention and time outside and they were happy and healthy upon my return. My home and pets were well cared for and Rilee dropped in for them on schedule, as promised. I was updated promptly upon her departure with pictures and a drop-in update that I thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely use Rilee again in the future.”
“Carol, thank you for taking care of my two persian kitties. I appreciate you giving the pill to Otis and I loved your photos. I'm looking forward to having you sit again for my babies.”
“Thu was our pet sitter for a weekend. She was very punctual (arrived exactly on time for all sessions), followed all the instructions and we were very happy with her! She was also able to give our cat the oral pill and gave us updates everytime she went to visit. Would highly recommend her services :)”
“Anna was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our two kitties. She also was kind enough to bring in any packages on our porch. I really appreciated the photos and updates along the way. We'll definitely turn to Anna for our future trips :) Thank you so much!!!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life and treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure your pets feel safe and loved.

“I am grateful to Sarah for taking care of my two cats while I was away on vacation! Sarah’s daily communications were excellent- I loved seeing photos each day and seeing the written updates. On one occasion, a cat had a hairball on the bedspread. Sarah promptly let me know and cleaned up the mess. She even offered to put the bedspread through the wash. Sarah left the house in good condition and brought in all of the mail and packages that came in throughout the week. I will definitely reach out to Sarah the next time I need a pet sitter! Thank you, Sarah!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life and can't imagine it any other way! I've had 4 golden retrievers and know firsthand how much love, attention and care pets need to feel safe and happy. Over the years, I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes- helping neighbors, friends and family with drop-ins, walks and even overnight stays. My first pet sitting job was taking care of my neighbor's cats when I was 10, and since then my love dfor animals has only grown. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, snuggles, or making sure they stick to their routine, I treat every pet like they're my own. As a teacher, I'm home in the afternoons, evenings and weekends. During the summer I have much more availability for walks or drop-ins. I love making pet care part of my daily routine. I care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable. Im ym home or yours, I follow their routine closely- feeding on schedule, keeping up with walks, playtime and snuggles and giving any needed medications. I also make sure they have plenty of love and attention so they are happy.
About: Hi! My name is Katie and I absolutely love animals! I've grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life and have generally had at least two around the house. I have had lots of experience with both big and small dogs, and am good at managing more than one dog at a time. I love to take dogs on walks, runs and play catch so I am great for dogs with lots of energy. When I was home I loved talking my two dogs on 5 mile long runs. I am available during the week and most weekends. I can accommodate smaller dogs at my house for a few nights but would prefer to stay with the dogs in their homes. Please feel free to message with any questions! I work evenings so I am free during the weekday to take pups on walks or check on cats! I also am happy to check on animals early morning and late at night when you are away, and can stay overnight. Safety is incredibly important to me, so animals in my care will be watched over continuously and I will be frequent communication (with photos) with the owner to keep everyone up to date on how the animal is doing.

You can tell she really cares about animals!”
