“Andreas took such wonderful care of our small doodle. He seems to genuinely love dogs, and our pup had a great time staying with him. He also sent along many photos and updates of their day. 10/10!”

“Julie was absolutely wonderful! Our dog can be quite anxious, but we could tell by his demeanor when he came home that Julie made him feel very comfortable and cared for! We'd love to have Dodge stay with Julie again, and we are very grateful for the updates and great care Dodge received!”

“Kathy was so accommodating and responsive! And she sent pictures of Frankie all day long to keep us posted. It was Frankie’s first experience in a house with cats so we were a bit worried, but everything worked out great and all the animals lived in harmony. We will definitely book again!”

“Where do we begin...this was a hard choice when trying to find someone to watch our fur baby for 6 days. He got to know Barb and a visit to her home for a meet and great. Then another visit for half a day. He was in heaven. Barb sent photos throughout the day. He was in a good mood and not anxious at all. Then we left TicTac in her care for 6 days. So many pictures came to us. He definitely has made new friends and was cared for so well. I highly recommend Barb 🌟”

“We had a wonderful experience! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos—they kept us informed and reassured that our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear our dog received lots of attention and affection throughout the stay. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”


“She was amazing with Bruno! 🐾 I was honestly a little anxious leaving him with someone new, but she made the whole experience so much easier. She sent updates every day (sometimes multiple times a day), which I really appreciated and it gave me so much peace of mind. Bruno looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. You can tell she genuinely cares and takes great care of the dogs she watches. I would 100% book with her again!”

About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience working with anxious pets, ensuring they feel safe and at ease. I use positive reinforcement techniques and tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be in loving, attentive hands! I have completed the Red Cross Pet First Aid course in order to be prepared for any events that may occur. I work a flexible, remote job so I am available to tend to your babies as needed! My daily schedule starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m., but I'm flexible to your needs! I have a large, private porch with plenty of potty spots for your baby, as well as a park within a 5 minute walk if that is what your pet needs. My dog, Juniper, will be a great companion for yours!
“Elizabeth & Rodrigo always treat Gator as part of their family and I cannot express enough how much that helps my anxiety being away from him. I never worry about him knowing that he’s being loved & cared for! They always send plenty of updates and truly are the sweetest family. Gator & I are their biggest fans!!!”

“Hyesoo and her family were again amazing! Extremely responsive and thorough. We are always able to enjoy ourselves without worry while she is watching over our pup. Cannot brag about her enough!!”

“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Gina and her husband were so great! Very communicative, responsive, and sent such lovely pictures and videos. You could tell from the updates they really cared for Monty and Cocoa and our dogs felt so loved and right at home. We can’t wait to use them again!”

“The best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Christina was extremely flexible and communicative! She provided photos of our pup having the best time all weekend and frankly our dog was less than impressed with us when we picked her up. Will definitely be booking her again.”

“We left our 1.5-year-old Sheltie with Betsy for a long weekend and she was fantastic! Betsy responded quickly to questions, took our notes/suggestions into account during the visit, and sent us updates/pictures throughout the visit. Our dog came home happy, sleepy, and of course healthy!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl! From owning my own three crazy golden retrievers to being trusted with my neighbor’s, family’s and friend’s pups, I have always loved being around dogs. I am a teacher and am currently off of school for the summer so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pups! I plan on continuing dog walking part time through the school year as well! I love going on long walks, enjoying the summer sunshine and exploring around Boston. I would love for your furry best friend to join me!
“Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.”

“Shuhua helped us out in a pinch last minute to board our dog same night, and we are so happy with the attentiveness shown - it doesn't get much better for our shy and sleepy greyhound girlie than an elevator to avoid the scary stairs, a soft couch, lovingly-shared boiled chicken and peeled apples, and a fresh new green space she gets to sniff around. We've already booked a second day due to our needs, and will absolutely reach out again in the future if needed! So glad to establish a connection to a nearby sitter that is so comfortable for our pet.”

“Millie had the best time with Lynne. She did not want to leave! Lynne was very communicative and sent us pictures throughout her stay. We would highly recommend!”

“Su did an incredible job with watching Sydney while I was overseas for a week! He sent daily updates about how she was doing and plenty of pictures too. He took her for multiple walks a day, kept her on a consistent routine, and spent a lot of quality time with her outside in the back yard. Syd looked so relaxed and calm every day of her stay, I could tell she felt safe and happy with Su. Would book again with him in a heartbeat!”

Courtney was great! My girl, Tula, is a big time daddy's girl. She was nervous at first, being without me and in a new place. On the second day, Tula got startled and barked at the neighbor and wouldn't stop. Courtney contacted me to ask how I deal with those kinds of things... The truth is I don't know! I'm a seat-of-my-pants kind of dog parent— I don't always know what I'm doing! I think my advice was something along the lines of "be confident and friendly," which I realized probably wasn't a huge help. At any rate, Courtney figured it out. Within a day Tula was able to relax, meet dogs around the neighborhood, and generally enjoy herself. I never heard about that neighbor again, which I took to mean that Tula didn't feel threatened by her surroundings. That's a testament to how safe she felt with Courtney. Courtney was very attentive to my desires and parenting techniques/methods and she asked lots of questions at our first meeting. She made sure Tula didn't sleep on furniture when I requested, at my request let Tula to say "hi" to other dogs and people even when she seemed anxious, etc., etc. I got lots of pictures and communication throughout the week to let me know that my sweet Tutu was safe and happy. My feeling is that if my dog is happy, I'm happy. Courtney did great and I'd definitely use her again in the future.

Greta is an amazing dog sitter! She provided lots of updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked incredibly happy and well cared for throughout the stay. She even gave my dog a bath, which was such a thoughtful offer. Juniper is also absolutely adorable, and it was wonderful that my dog had such a sweet companion to play with. I would highly recommend Greta to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!

Eddy and team made this one of the best boarding experiences we've ever had. From the very first meet, it was obvious he genuinely loves what he does. He took the time to properly get to know Xena, our Doberman, understanding her personality and needs. Agreeing to a trial night first meant so much to us, it showed he wanted Xena to be comfortable, not just booked in. He picked her up and dropped her off himself, and throughout the day we were spoiled with photos and updates that had us smiling every time our phones buzzed. You could just tell Xena was happy and having the time of her life. Then our flight got delayed, and without missing a beat, Eddy offered to keep her an extra night, no fuss, no stress, just genuine care. That kind of flexibility and warmth is rare. We left feeling so grateful to have found him. Eddy isn't just a sitter, he's someone who treats your dog like family. We'll be booking with him every time, and we can't recommend him enough!

Agustin is the absolute BEST! Oliver had the time of his life with him, and I would truly recommend him to anyone. He sent so many pictures and updates and was super flexible when I had to pick him up a little later than originally scheduled. I will definitely be using him again. Ollie was a tired and happy pup after his weekend of fun with Agustin!

Adrienne is a wonderful dog sitter!! My dog Petey stayed with Adrienne for boarding and he was well taken care of and given lots of love! Adrienne is kind, caring, professional, and communicative! She shared updates and pictures all throughout his stay. I highly recommend Adrienne for pet care!

Kathy was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was very accommodating timing wise for a meet and greet with her pup. Throughout my dog’s stay with her, she sent lots of photos and updates. My dog seemed so happy to be there and seemed like she had an awesome time. I plan on using Kathy again in the future!! Thank you Kathy!

Liz and Rodrigo, and their kids, were great with our dog Draven! He had such a good time with them in their home, and they were very accommodating of drop off and pick up times. They even found fun ways to keep him cool during the heat wave and sent cute photo check ins. I’ve already rebooked them for my next trip. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend Megan! She made the whole process so seamless: scheduling and coordinating with her was an absolute breeze. She was super communicative the entire time and kept my mind at ease with tons of cute picture updates. Will definitely book with her again!!!

Dalin was fantastic with our pup. She asked great questions before we left and went out of her way to make sure Linxie was comfortable, happy and well taken care of. She sent us updates, pictures and videos while we were away. Linxie and Dalin's dog Charlie got along very well. Our girl came back very relaxed and happy! Looking forward to having Linxie stay with her again.

Kurt was amazing with Piggy! He asked great questions prior to the visit to ensure he knew how to best care for Pigglet. I got daily updates with photos - he took great care when Pig got stung by a wasp when out playing. I had no stress while I was away knowing she was in good hands!
