Katherine is an amazing cat sitter. She took great care of our cats while we were on an eight day…read morelong trip. She sent us beautiful photos of our cats every day to reassure us that they were okay, built them a paper bag tunnel to play in, and spent lots of time with them on each visit. The apartment was very neat and tidy when we returned, and she had left us a nice note and a new toy for the cats. Also, she was able to accommodate a very short notice need for cat sitting, for which we are very grateful. I would highly recommend Entitled Cat Boston!

Katherine was very easy to get in contact with by phone and set up our meet and greet. Katherine…read morewas very patient with our cat, Muffin, who was hiding under the bed the entire visit. We could tell that Katherine really wanted to get to know Muffin and was confident that they would become friends fast. We were gone for 1 week and Katherine visited every evening. The pictures that Katherine sent every night showed that Muffin was getting attention, pets, and playtime, and was comfortable. We recommend Katherine and Entitled Cats without reservation!

City Kitty Boston is the absolute best. We moved recently outside of the zone that they cover and…read morewe miss them so much! The team made our two kitten's first year and a half of life with us even better by showing up when we were away. The team made our babies feel safe and loved, played with them, cleaned them out, and sent us photos each day with a brief update on how they were doing. You can always tell the difference when a cat feels comfortable that you've been away vs when they feel abandoned and grumpy. We never, ever had grumpy cats when we got home. I can't recommend City Kitty enough!

This is a bit of an unrelated review to cat sitting but I wanted to surface this since it goes to…read moreshow the depths of Ariel's integrity and kindness. Ariel found my wallet today on the street outside my apartment complex and took it upon herself to try and drive around and find me. She ended up at my old address about 15 min away from my current place, and not only refused to let me come to her but drove over to me immediately. This all probably took a good chunk of about 45 minutes to an hour out of her Saturday. She didn't know this but I'm headed out of the country today and would have lost my collective marbles when I found out that my wallet is missing. I cannot say enough good things about the type of person that would go out of their way to do this, especially one who is placed in a position of trust and responsibility over the most important furry members of your family. I am so grateful and impressed and will absolutely be booking Ariel when I need cat sitting in the future!

We've known Diane for a couple years now and she is our first call whenever we go out of town. She…read moreis always happy to visit with Boo Bear, our 16 year old cat, who absolutely adores Diane. Normally, when people come in the house, Boo hides but she comes and greets Diane, even when they haven't seen each other for several months. Diane always sends daily updates with pictures and when we get home Boo is happy and we can tell she's been well cared for. Diane is extremely professional and makes sure to have every bit of information she needs. She also waters our plants! Diane is caring, professional, reliable, and trustworthy of the care of your four legged loved ones while you are away.

(She's a bit shy, so she's rarely seen). I've always appreciated her caring for my sometimes less than appreciative cat. During a recent trip, Tammy was not available, so I had to use another pet sitter. My experience with this sitter was less than satisfactory for several reasons that would probably scare readers! This experience, as well as others with different sitters made me realize that Tammy is truly one of a kind, and Siri and I are lucky to have her!! Yelp only goes to 5 stars....

Carol is the best cat sitter we have ever hired and we've had cats and hired sitters for 30 years…read more I can't say enough good things about her. Our two cats connected with her quickly because she is a real cat person, not just someone who wants occassional work and is willing to to cat sit. She was very communicative and sent us pictures and videos of the cats playing with toys she brought and left for the cats. If I need a cat sitter in Boston, I would never hire anyone else.

I have used Brandywood Pet Care and been very satisfied in the past. However, my most recent…read moreexperience was a disaster. I had contacted Pam (she bought the company from Brandy) about cat sitting my 2 cats for our 10 day vacation. Pam and i talked the day before our departure to confirm and I even agreed to a rate increase. Fast forward to 10 days later when we got home, nobody came to take care of my cats! They were home alone for 10 days and, fortunately, broke into the bag of cat food and drank water from the toilet. It is a miracle they didn't die, the toilet was almost empty (and it was amazing that I left the lid up because I always close it). One of my cats is still stressed and having accidents and they are both still unusually clingy. What happened is nothing short of animal abuse. When I called Pam the mailbox was full so I couldn't even leave her a message. She eventually returned my call and said she'd find out what happened and, of course, I never heard from her. I am horrified when I think of how my cats probably felt and thank goodness they were able to fend for themselves. I will never work with this company again, the trust is gone.

We have been using Brandy and Margaret to take care of our two cats since we moved to the Reading…read morearea in 2009. They do in-house pet sitting services only which is much more preferable with cats. They are wonderful, caring individuals, who take their job seriously and have a real passion for animals. They call you during your absence if they believe there may be a problem (pet not eating, may be sick) and they write detailed notes and leave it on the counter for you to review. Margaret is very patient with one of our cats who will not eat in our absence and hates everybody. They also have a cool head on during an emergency. One of our cats was literary minutes from death one morning due to a urinary obstruction, but Margaret, although obviously upset, didn't hesitate to call us at the crack dawn and rushed him to the nearest emergency clinic. Their billing system is simple, they leave you an invoice at the last visit, a copy will also be emailed to you. Barndywood is a very reliable, trustworthy and caring pet sitting service. I highly recommend them.
