About: I’ve been dog-sitting since I was in middle school. I’ve taken care of puppies, old dogs, disabled/blind dogs, and of course my own little black Labrador, Luna. I personally raised my lab, trained her, and am her primary caregiver. I’m currently a college student in Boston and am quite busy Tuesday through Thursday but available most weekends for drop ins, walks, and house sitting! I can calm/soothe dogs if needed. I can also do some light training or crate dogs if necessary. I can be a calm companion or a fun playmate depending on the dog!
About: I am a cat lover and have years of experience fostering cats of all personalities, which equipped me with skills to take care of your furry family! I've worked with everything from playful kittens to shy cats, senior, and even special needs cats—including blind cats, overweight cats with special diets, and even feral rescues—so I understand that every cat has unique needs and boundaries. Whether your kitty is social, shy, or needs extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own fosters. I am most available on weekends, and have a pretty flexible schedule for what your cat might need! I can also do drop-ins after 6PM or before 9AM on weekdays. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and boundaries. I maintain a calm, quiet environment and follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, play preferences, and litter box habits. I also keep a close eye on behavior and health so I can quickly notice if something seems off.
About: Hi! I’m Jaime - a rescue mom to a pittie mix and a lifelong dog lover. Living with a reactive dog has taught me how to be patient, observant, and flexible. I understand that every dog has their own quirks, triggers, and comfort zones, and I’m here to support them exactly as they are. Whether your dog is reactive to squirrels, unsure around new people, or needs space from other dogs, I want to know it all. No detail is too small or too much. I truly care about making your pet feel safe, loved, and at home. I grew up with two medium-sized dogs (a Dalmatian and an English Pointer), and I’ve pet sat for everything from cuddly Goldens, senior Great Danes, to independent cats. I love getting outside for walks, and I’m always happy to have a four-legged companion join me. I’d love to hear more about your pet and how I can help care for them. Please reach out with any questions! I have free mornings during the week, which makes it easy for me to stop by for check-ins or take your pet out for a walk. I’m also available on weekends and happy to coordinate around your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your space and your pet with the utmost care and respect. I follow all instructions closely - from feeding and walk routines to giving medication, which I do regularly for my own dog. I’m mindful of your pet’s boundaries and energy levels, whether they need space, slow introductions, or extra time to warm up. I also take safety seriously: I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure your pet is secure and comfortable while you're away. I also love sending pictures since as a dog mom, I look forward to receiving them when I'm away!
