3. Viktorija B.
“Viktorija is the kindest and most loving person in every way one can ask for. I couldn’t have imagined a better caretaker for my dog and I will absolutely turn to her whenever I need ❤️ She has my strongest recommendation!”
4. Ilya V.
“It was clear that our dog was in excellent hands! Ilya was dedicated to providing tons of exercise in the parks nearby, and giving us detailed, routine updates on how the days were going. What sets Ilyad apart is his commitment to communication – these regular, detailed updates put our minds at ease and let us know our dog was thriving. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a reliable and responsible caretaker for our 2 year old Whippet, we can't recommend him highly enough! Chelsey & Dan”
5. Sarah S.
“Sarah was incredible. A total professional with a clear natural way with dogs - Zazu absolutely loved her. I had so much confidence that Zazu was treated like a little prince and so, so well taken care of. Amazing communication over the time I was away too, I'd recommend her to anyone. I'll most certainly be requesting Sarah's services again!”
6. Phi T.
“Mowgli had a great time with Phi and his dog, as a puppy he also learned a lot from Phi and we picked him up happy and well behaved. We would 100% recommend Phi to sit any dog and look forward to having Mowgli stay there again as needed.”
7. Lydia A.
“Lydia was awesome. She sent great updates throughout my dogs stay along with a ton of pictures. She took my dog for a couple of walks throughout the day and got her plenty of exercise.”
8. Philip T.
“Philip was very responsive to my communications leading up to Chloe's stay and during the stay. He sent multiple updates with photos every day which allowed me to relax while I was away. She got plenty of attention and walks! from him and his son. (Chloe slept in son's bed. 😃). I can recommend Philip to take good care of your dog! Thank you Philip!”
9. Federica B.
“Federica was awesome -- lots of picture and video updates, and my cat seemed so happy and comfortable staying at her place. Will definitely use her services again the next time I travel!”
10. Kelsey & Ian P.
“Kelsey + Ian were the best sitters we could have asked for! In fact, we’re concerned our dog Arthur might like them more than us!! They were wonderful communicators, sent us lots of photos, and took Arthur on tons of fun walks/adventures. We are so grateful to them for treating him so well, and it really allowed us to take a worry-free trip!”
11. Jim W.
“Jim is awesome with my dog Abby!! And Abby loves hanging out with him. I know she is really well taken care of so it makes me worry less about leaving her.”
12. Jo R.
“Jo was wonderful. My little alabaster who is about 11 months was with her for 11 days and he came back full of energy and as sweet as ever. They sent me pictures each day of him playing and lounging with her pup Luna. So adorable. At first, Luna was a little put off by alabaster, but over a few hours she warmed up to him to the point that they cuddled and slept together many nights (so adorable). Could not recommend Jo more :) she will be my future sitter of Alabaster anytime I leave.”
13. Donna B.
“Donna was absolutely amazing! Our dog is a bit shy but we were amazed at how quickly she made him feel at home and part of the dog group and how comfy he became with her. We will 100% use Donna for dogsitting in the future. She sent so many wonderful photos and videos! Thank you!”
14. Katerine M.
“Katerine always takes fantastic care of my puppy! He is always excited when we get to her house and he plays all day with Coco! My puppy is in good hands☺️”
15. Christie & Daniel W.
“Christie and Dan were wonderful! Christie was super responsive and shared pictures and videos with us throughout Romeo’s stay. They brought him on walks and hikes and kept him very active. Romeo loved playing with their adorable dog, Bao Bao. We highly recommend Christie and Dan and we will certainly be using them in the future!”
16. Ethan M.
“Ethan was fantastic and super easy to communicate with! He sent lots of pictures and updates and our dog clearly had a great time! We will definitely be using him again and recommend him to anyone!”
17. Mills F.
“Mills and his girlfriend were wonderful with my pooch from the moment we arrived. They sent pictures regularly and genuinely seemed to love and understand dogs. I was a little nervous, leaving mine there since we hadn’t met before, but Mill was reassuring and warm, and my dog was very happy the whole time there.”
18. Matias D.
“Matias was so great watching my beagle Casey! She had a great time running and playing in the field by his house, and Matias kept me updated daily with her status! I could tell she was even sad to leave and can’t wait to use Matias again!”
19. Yuchan D.
About: Hello! I'm Rita and a lover of animals. When I was 3 years old, I had my first dog in my family, so my childhood was full of memories of growing up with dogs and having fun together. Now I have 2 Shiba Inus, Umi is in my hometown with my parents and Chuu is with me and my husband here in Boston. Because of this wonderful time, I learned how to take care of dogs and make them feel happy, comfortable, and company when they need me, which is most important for our lovely and needy dogs. I am comfortable with nervous or energetic dogs and I have confidence they will open up to me quickly. My close relatives, families, and friends said that dogs all have a super comforting presence with me. I believe that I establish a bond with dogs easily and I truly am a dog whisperer. My husband and I both work from home, so we have more flexibility to accompany your loved ones. Our neighborhood is pet-friendly, and my apartment complex even has a small dog park on the 5th floor! Plus, a park nearby has two dog parks within a 5-minute walk! So, you can rest assured that your furry friends will have plenty of space to run and play. I promise to treat your pets like my own and spend quality time with them daily. Let me take care of your dogs - you won't regret it! My husband and I are both WFH, I’m currently on a flexible schedule, so I have a plenty of time hanging out with your pups! When I am entrusted with the responsibility of caring for pets either in my own home or that of my clients, I ensure that they are provided with fresh food and water at regular intervals throughout the day. Additionally, I make sure that their living area is kept clean, hygienic, and comfortable for them to live in. Apart from meeting their basic needs, I also spend quality time with them to help them feel loved and cared for. This could include playing with their favorite toys, taking them out for walks, or simply snuggling up with them for some much-needed cuddle time. If I am responsible for the care of a dog, I make sure to take them out regularly for potty breaks and exercise, so that they stay active and healthy. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality, preferences, and needs, and I strive to be attentive to their individual needs and cater to them accordingly. I understand the importance of keeping a clean and healthy environment for your furry friends. If I'm caring for a cat, for example, I make sure to clean their litter box daily to prevent any unpleasant odors or unsanitary conditions.
20. Tien-Tien L.
“Tien-Tien was amazing with our dog, Bia! We received a lot of pictures and videos of Bia having a blast! Bia loved her dog Qmo and they became instant best friends. Tien-Tien kept us updated and really helped us feel like our dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Tien-Tien and we would love to have her sit our dog again!”
