Full time traveling couple wanting to hang out with your cool pets!
Shauna and Craig kept in touch every day with pictures of kitties and how they were doing even though no expectation was set for an update, so they did that of their own accord. They were easy to communicate with and very friendly. House was immaculate when we returned and one of our kitties sheds a lot. They even left us a little gift. We would love to have them return again!

Loving care for your pets & home
I was very nervous about leaving my senior rescue dog with a new set of humans…he had been through a lot. But from the moment Dani and Dawn walked in , I knew everything would be fine. They are both very relaxed and kind and Beau took to them immediately. They took exceptional care of my dog AND my home. I came back to a happy dog and a spotless house. I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you Dani and Dawn. Beau misses you!

Retired educators will provide ownership care
Chris and Barb were great pet and house sitters! Our dog Arthur was sad to see them leave and us arrive! They left our home even cleaner and tidier than when we left, and we appreciate all they did to look after Arthur.

Loving and responsible care of your home and pets as if they were my own
Brook was an awesome sitter! Super kind, communicative and organized. She sent us daily updates and left the place sparkling! We were away for our wedding and she left us a bouquet of flowers, which was a really thoughtful touch.

Skip was great! Very available for communication, sent a couple of kind updates with cute pics of my cat, left the place very tidy, even made up the bed. An all-around happy experience and I'd be delighted to have him back if he wanted!

Teacher/petsitter dreaming of making petsitting and traveling a reality!
When we select a sitter, we read every review in addition to conducting some sort of video interview. We really rely upon the experiences of past hosts, so that’s why I believe it important to be honest in this review. I love giving out 5 star reviews and do quite frequently, but I also need to share any less-than-positive experiences as well for those hosts who rely upon reviews such as we do. As such, I’m a bit ambivalent about writing this review of Katie, as there were some really good things Katie did while here. She is a lovely, energetic woman who responded immediately to the concerns I voiced to her during the time she watched our pets; however, the “negatives” we experienced speak to the heart of the importance of having a dedicated pet sitter. For the most part, our home was left tidy and neat – which is no small feat as ours is a large house and I appreciate the care Katie took in ensuring we walked into a clean home. That said, Katie failed to notice my dogs had urinated in both of their dog beds and on the floor of our downstairs office, which we believed happened in the first part of the sit and resulted in the downstairs smelling of stale urine. Further, because she didn’t notice the urine, my pets, when downstairs, had to either sleep on the bare floor or in wet beds, neither of which is a satisfactory option. Also, my dogs don’t generally urinate in the house as they have access to a doggie door, and this seemed more a sign of their distress or discomfort. I believe this incident was part of a larger problem I experienced with Katie and that was in the manner in which she approached this sit. I advertised dates of July 6 – July 22. We generally ask our sitters to come in a day or two early as to walk them through the schedule for both our animals and our many plants, as well as to give them time to get to know the animals and experience a little of the town we live in. We also provide a very detailed introduction and welcome guide which outlines our expectations. Katie came in late in the day on the 7th, without personal transportation, which necessitated us picking her up and then my neighbor taking her to a rental cart company the next day because we left very early on the morning of the 8th. This abbreviated introductory time didn’t allow us to fully prepare Katie for the sit and allowed for some apparent “misunderstandings.” The “issue” for me was for the first five days of our 13-day trip, Katie was away from the house for up to 13 hours at a time – leaving our two, older rescue dogs, who have some separation anxiety - alone and with an extended time between meals. It was clear Katie was using this opportunity to visit many of the beautiful areas which surround where we live – hence using our home as more of an Airbnb to vacation – than a house sit dedicated to caring for our animals. Our dogs are fine with being alone for up to six hours but even that, for multiple days in a row, is, frankly, distressing to our animals and to us, as owners. To Katie’s credit, when I called and brought her daily, extended time away to her attention and reiterated my wishes the dogs not be left for more than 6 hours, she changed her schedule and while still gone every day, capped her time away at six hours. And, as I said, she is cheerful and responsive; hence, the ambivalence is positing my concerns with this sit. I think if Katie is provided with very clear expectations prior to the sit and understands exactly what is needed and expected, she will absolutely deliver. For whatever reason, from the start, this sit was rushed, there appeared to be too many misunderstandings, and it ended up being frustrating for us in ways other sits have not been.

I would feel so happy to care for your lovely pets!
Page was great. She followed instructions well and she was a great communicator throughout the stay. I came home to happy, well walked pups and a clean house. I would use her again.
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!

I've been bringing my dog to Welcott Farm for over 3 years & she loves it there! It's her "home away from home." The owner & the staff are knowledgeable & caring.
Thank you Jeff and team for providing such exceptional care for Lucy while we were on vacation! Welcott Farm is the BEST and the ONLY boarding facility for our beloved rescue dog! Lucy had a pawsome time making new friends and she enjoyed the snuggles from the staff!
We brought our rescue dog, Lucy, to Welcott Farm for boarding while we traveled out of the country. We received updates from Jeff and team and were happy to hear that Lucy was making new friends including Anton! Lucy had lots of play time and snuggles with the staff. Welcott Farm was accommodating with Lucy's meal requirements and we picked her up freshly bathed. They were sad to see Lucy go but knew that we would bring her back for her next adventure. The staff was nothing short of AMAZING! Thank you Jeff and team for the exceptional care of Lucy who means the world to us!
Tim and Jeff watched our puppy, Stevie, while on vacation for 10 days. We were very nervous about leaving her with anyone for this time. When I dropped her off, they were so reassuring that they had it under control and would take great care of her, which they did. They sent us photos of her almost daily and took great care of her. Stevie made some great dog friends there and I'm sure she can't wait to get back. Thanks guys!
Unbelievable puppy/dog retreat! My puppy Siku has been going here since 8 weeks old (now 6 months) and she loves the owners, staff and experience she has at Welcott Farm!
We used their doggy daycare while vacationing in the area and had a wonderful experience. They were quick to respond to my message and able to accommodate our dog the next day. The facility is beautiful, clean and organized. The drop off and pick up was a breeze and our puppy was very happy and tired at the end of her play date. We wish this facility was near our home. We would be regulars. Thanks for taking such good care of our dog and allowing us to leave her with peace of mind.
Welcott is such an amazing place for our dogs to play and expend some of that terrier energy. The facility is stunning with a great outdoor space and pristine interiors. It is only equal to the time, care and kindness provided by Jeff and his team. We are beyond thrilled to have Welcott in the area. Their commitment to rescues like ours also makes it a pleasure to bring our dogs there. Highly recommended.
Welcott Farm is an amazing property and our dogs Wolfe and Indi love going there! We we're so happy to find a doggy daycare and boarding facility with nice outdoor spaces for the dogs. Jeff and Tim are very accommodating and responsive. You know you're fur babies are well cared for.
We just adopted a 2-year-old shelter dog who is still trying to adjust. She's only been there two days for doggie daycare and you can already tell the difference, I was amazed and grateful to see her running around the yard with about 10 other dogs. Nice people, I highly recommend.
This place is fantastic! We were in from out of town and decided to give Welcott Farm a call to see if our pooch, Chuck, could come out for a few hours to burn some energy. After we sent over his vet records, they called us back and we brought him out. Chuck was so happy, and so tired, when we picked him up. We decided, on our short commute from the farm back to where we were staying, to take him back there two more times. It's clean, they have space for the dogs to run and plenty of other dogs to run around with.
