Pet Sitting in Harvard

Lovely sitter for Toby. Sent pictures and kept us updated daily. A gem!!!!

What a joy and an honor it was to have Phyllis and Jerry care for my home and my pets. I could write an epistle to describe in detail how much they did and how well they accomplished each responsibility. Our correspondence began many months ahead of my posted dates. Throughout this time, we stayed connected, and as we got closer, we shared more details about my home and care for the pets. Response time was prompt, friendly and courteous. They were incredibly flexible and understanding when I had to adjust my flight time and date. They arrived early on my departure day so we could have time for orientation, lunch, and conversation. Phyllis and Jerry were meticulous in following the instructions I left for cat and home care. They were dedicated to assuring me that things at home were going well by sending pictures of the cats included with special vignettes. They were respectful of my home and took great care of everything as if it were their own. For example, when the hose unexpectedly burst in the back yard on a hot day, they carried water in a bucket to my young Arbor Vitae trees. They are the kind of people who go the “extra mile” based on their high values and elevated work ethics. When I returned home, everything was glistening and spotless. The carpets had been vacuumed, the laundry completed, the dishwasher and waste baskets emptied, the stove shined, and the kitty litter was scooped and cleaned. My fur babies were happy and relaxed, an indication that they had excellent care while I was away. A delightful surprise was the colorful Autumn gift basket and note they left on the counter. I highly recommend Phyllis and Jerry in every way. They exceeded my expectations and fulfilled every task. They are friendly, enthusiastic, and fun to be around, and both have had a wide variety of experiences that translate into good common sense and wise decisions. It was truly my privilege to have the opportunity to meet them and to benefit from all they had to offer me, my home, and my cats.

Brian is absolutely amazing. This was his third time sitting for us and the dogs love him, he left the house immaculate, and is totally reliable and communicative. We can’t imagine a better sitter and hope he’ll come visit and stay in touch now that he has moved to the area.

We have used Wendy and Dave several times and they are the best! Our cats get more attentive care from them than they do from us, and our apartment is always left spotless. We have been very blessed to have them.

Clare is an absolute star, very clearly a genuine cat lover and she kept the kitties very well cared for and happy during the week we were away. We had really great communication, she was helpful, responsive, flexible and committed. We were so happy to have Clare and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter. We would love to welcome her back in the future if the opportunity arises. Very grateful to Clare and thanks to her we were able to really relax on holiday knowing the cats were content and settled.

Jennifer was excellent with my dog Gus and my high maintenance hobby farm. She learned to be smarter than a goat which is no easy task. She was willing to stick to the animal routine and find her free time in between. I felt very comfortable leaving my animals with Jennifer. She was great.

Dawn was an amazing house sitter. She handled issues that arose efficiently so I didn't feel I needed to "fix it". She communicated as needed and replied to any inquiries I made promptly. She left the apartment spotless. A great sitter.

Edie and Bob were great house sitters, great communication prior to the sit and during - they sent a daily photo of Moose, they were really friendly, the house was clean and tidy upon our return and Moose seemed to have a great time with them and settled himself with both pf them (clearly giving no bothers we were away!!) Would happily recommend these guys to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly couple. Hope you may be able to sit again for us in the future xx

I was very impressed with Robin and answered the questions based on two meetings with her. Unfortunately my travel plans were cancelled because of Covid, so the sit was cancelled as well. The review process doesn't allow for these kinds of situations. I wish I'd been able to travel and that Robin had been able to complete the sit and care for my pet.

Sandra was an excellent sitter - we came back to a happy contented cat, a spotless house and a lovely welcome home card and message. Sandra sent us daily photos and updates on Ziggy which we greatly appreciated. I hope Sandra can cat sit for us again and I have no hesitation in recommending her.
