House Sitting in Otis

“I’ve lived with Alex for the last 10 years, and I’ve lost count of how many times he’s come to the rescue of an animal in need. If there’s a dog lost in the neighborhood, Alex will abandon his plans to turn his attention on getting them safely home. He’s brought lost cats and dogs home, fed and nurtured them, and spent all night posting online and making phone calls to try and find their owners (which he’s successfully done 100% of the time). I’ve watched him hand feed wild squirrels, and catch a bird who accidentally flew indoors with his bare hands to help it safely return outside. He’s a true animal whisperer, and is immediately trusted and magnetic to any animal that crosses his path. He has a heart of gold and is the most loyal and trustworthy person I’ve ever known. We shared a rescue dog for years who had severe behavioral issues and aggression when he came into our lives, and Alex devoted all his time and energy to help rehabilitate our beloved friend. His patience and understanding for all animals is universal, and he loves every animal he meets the same way he cares for his own. You couldn’t find a better person to put your trust into, and I promise you that your pet will fall in love with him. Going above and beyond is just a normal day in the life of Alex, and it’s rare to find someone who cares as much as he does. He won’t just pet-sit for you, he’ll become a part of your pet’s extended family. If you want someone to love on your furry friends as close to as much as you do, Alex is the person for you.”

“Logan was friendly, professional, and great with our pets! He was patient and kind with my energetic pup and my older one clearly felt comfortable. Highly recommend!”

“Andrew was very good with our nearly three-year-old Imhotep. "Imo" is a Basenji (a breed known for being challenging at times) who suffers from separation anxiety. Andrew stayed in contact with us from the beginning to the end of our time away and actively worked with us to resolve any minor issues that came up. He also sent much-appreciated photographs every day. We are grateful that he was able to make adjustments to accommodate Imo's special needs and we were pleased (and relieved) to return home to a happy and contented dog - a very, very different experience from our prior kennel boarding experiences. Thank you, Andrew!”

“Kelly & Nabil are exceptional sitters. They left our home spotless, sent photos of our pets and took great care of them. Our pup was sad to see them go, we feel so fortunate to have found such loving and caring pet sitters!”

“Christine is wonderful!! First time booking her was for a week of house sitting with our 85 pound Sadie, and she was so reliable and trustworthy! Would absolutely recommend her and plan to request her again. Everything was as promised and carried out. An amazing find for us!!!”

“Amazing amazing amazing! Love her enthusiasm of animals. My pet was apart of her family the moment they were introduced. I felt great when I had to leave town and that my pet was cared for as I would have done.”

“Sam has watched my fur kids for me multiple times. She was extremely punctual. Attentive to their needs and went the extra mile. She cared for my car, dog and chickens :)”

“Tiffany watched our 60lb mixed breed dog while we were away for a week. She did a great job and sent some pictures and videos. Our dog had a great time! Tiffany is honest and reliable and very easy going. Highly recommend!”

“Matt was an excellent sitter for Max. In addition, he left my home in the same condition as when he arrived. I will not hesitate to seek his services again.”

“Mary was very flexible and great with communication. Our dogs and house were well taken care of and I never had to worry. She was kind enough to spend the night at our house with our dogs”

“Melanie watched my dog and my daughter’s dog recently for a night in our home. She was very communicative and sent pics of the dogs and updates! She did a great job and I would recommend using Melanie!”

“Leah took wonderful care of our dog and our house. She was prompt, courteous, and left our house spotless and our dog happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Ace is great! They showed up on time. Provided pics all night. our puppy was very well cared for. Will definitely use Ace again. Thank you Ace!”

About: I'm a former Animal Science student who went to UMass Amherst. I also worked in a kennel for ~ a year, so have experience with all dogs. All dogs are welcome! I currently work on a hybrid schedule and am available to take care of your dog 5 days per week. The only days I'm unavailable are Mondays and Thursdays! I am happy to offer constant attention and care, I'm always available for potty breaks, will provide walks as needed, have toys on hand/will provide enrichment for your pets.

“Communicative and caring. We have elderly and special needs pets, Janice kept us up to date while staying over and we came home to happy pets ??”

About: I am a female in her 30’s who just moved to the area and has had experience with caring for dogs and animals back near my hometown. In the past I have dog-sat my sisters 2 cockapoos for 6 or more years as she traveled for work. Through rover I was able to drop in for Pierre and had a great relationship with him and his owner. I have done drop ins to feed both cats and dogs and am comfortable with both. I am very respectful of the clients home and strictly follow any protocols put in place. I leave everything in the same order as it was found and make sure the animal is safe. I am currently employed as a seasonal Garden Assistant and most of my availability would be during evenings, weekends, or very early mornings if needed. I typically care for pets at the client's home rather than my own. My previous apartment situations have not allowed pets so I haven't been able to care for pets at my own residence.

“Mars is a caring, responsible sitter. I feel totally secure in leaving my pets with her (dog, cats, chickens!). One of my cats has medical issues, and Mars is game to take on all of her needs. I have used her services twice now. Thanks Mars!”

“Clara was great! Good communication, super nice, and when I returned home, I was greeted by my very happy shih tzu who was lounging on the sofa with Clara! I would book her again!”

“Steph did a wonderful job taking care of my older handicapped Lab and my timid cat. She sent me pictures of them on the days I was away and I could see they were well and happy. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Nina did amazing with my boys! She was communicative and provided updates throughout the day! Will definitely be using her again ◡̈”
