“Andy did a great job watching our cats while we were away. We got timely updates and he communicated very clearly with us. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule looking to spend some free time racking up that dopawmine! I have grown up with dogs and cats for my whole life and although I do not have my own furry friend right now, I adore pets and would love to share that with your pet! I have experience house sitting for a family with 3 medium sized dogs and am comfortable with dogs of any size. I also love to go on walks and stretch my legs, what would be a better addition than a doggo companion! Although I love dogs, also have experience with cats and love all from snuggle to sass! My camera roll is essentially filled with dogs and I would love to send updates throughout my walk/stay with your pet! I would be overjoyed for you to let me share some of my love with your furry friend! Please reach out, can’t wait to hear from you and yours 🐾. I am a graduate student at Northeastern with a flexible schedule. Because I have no pets of my own (yet!) I have a very open schedule! I am very comfortable walking on leash with dogs and am happy to do feedings and potty breaks! I appreciate clear instructions tailored to your pet to make them as comfortable as possible in their routine.
“Sydney was wonderful to work with. The cats took to her easily, she communicated well and accomplished everything we needed from her. Because of her care we were able to fully enjoy our trip. Thanks again!”

“Lavender was great! She gave daily updates and reached out if she had any questions. She truly cared for my cats and I would absolutely book her again.”

“Zipper enjoys his visits by Julie! She is on top of everything - water, food and litter, as well as entertaining him and keeping us posted with updates and photos!”

“Was incredibly attuned to my lil anxious Winston, provided consistent helpful feedback & was just overall a perfect pet sitter for my baby boy! I was nervous using rover for the first time, and Rachel exceeded my expectations & went above and beyond. Will be working with her again!”

“Allison is always our go-to sitter and once again she did a stellar job! Amazing at communication and sending the best photos so that we know are cat is safe and cared for when we are gone!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid! I grew up with animals, and currently have two kitties of my own. I have watched dogs and cats for family and friends, and always make sure to give any animal the love and care they need! I work at an area university during the academic year, with availability after 5pm on weekdays, and full day availability on weekends.

“Carley is awesome. We can always count on her and she is really great with our two dogs, taking care of them, walking them, making sure they have food and fresh water, a snack, etc. Thanks Carley!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and understand their personalities, comfort needs, and unique habits. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet with the same love and respect I give my own. My interest in pursuing dog behavior work helps me be more attentive and in tune with each dog’s emotions. Whether your pup enjoys active outings or relaxed snuggles, I create a safe, happy, and reassuring experience tailored to them. I'm currently working part-time and maintain a pretty flexible schedule. I am happy to coordinate my schedule around your pup's routine in order to be dependable and reliable. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, I work on ensuring pets receive attentive care while visiting their own home. I like to carefully follow routines and provide updates after each visit. I'm located in Allston, close to local parks giving me easy access to great walking routes suited to both high-energy and relaxed dogs.

See my calendar for availability :) I will always do my best to follow your instructions to a T! Clear communication is appreciated and will be reciprocated!! I promise to take care of your pets (and the things in your home) to the best of my ability.

About: I’ve been the unofficial pet-sitter for my friends and family for years, and I genuinely love spending time with animals! I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats, from big dogs to tiny kittens (even hairless ones!). I also had the best time caring for my sister-in-law’s senior dog for two months. I made sure he got his medicines on time, went on his walks, ate his special home-cooked meals, and, of course, received plenty of cuddles! I also happily took care of his baths and grooming. I know senior pets can need a little extra patience and attention, and I’m always happy to give every pet the love and care they deserve. Most of my availability is during the afternoons and I am free all day on weekends. Tuesday: after 3pm Wednesday: after 2pm Thursday: after 1pm Friday: after 2pm Saturday and Sunday: free I’m happy to care for pets in their own home and keep them comfortable in their usual routine. I’m also happy to stay overnight or for longer stays if needed. Unfortunately, I can’t host pets at my apartment due to my lease, but I’m flexible and happy to care for them in their home!

About: Hi there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My priority is always your pup’s comfort, safety, and routine. I’m confident managing different walking gear (standard harnesses, gentle leaders, and training collars), maintaining strict on-leash safety, and reading canine body language to keep outings calm and stress-free. Whether your dog is a high-energy explorer who loves long sniff walks or a laid-back couch potato who just wants steady company and belly rubs, I tailor every day to their specific pace. You can always expect prompt communication, detailed visit notes, and plenty of photo updates so you know your best friend is having a great time! We keep very flexible daily routines, meaning someone is almost always around the house to keep your pup company, give belly rubs, and handle regular potty breaks. When we're out doing walks or drop-ins, our schedule is planned carefully so your dog gets timely care, fresh water, and never has to wait on meals. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. For boarding, our apartment is calm and completely pet-free—a great low-stress spot for dogs who like having all the human attention to themselves! On house sits and visits, we treat your home with total care and follow your pup's routine to the letter. Outside, we keep dogs securely on-leash at all times, give unfamiliar dogs plenty of space, and send lots of cute photo updates so you always know how they're doing.

Catherine was super caring and considerate in her visits with Stormy, giving her plenty of pets, play, and even cleaning up her throw up (💀). Catherine was always communicative letting me know when she would visit and if there would be any delays with her timing etc!

There are not enough amazing things to say about Dennis! My partner and I have never felt for comfortable traveling outside of the country with our two kitties at home. He was an amazing cat sitter and communicator throughout the long time we were away and both cats warmed up to him immediately. I HIGHLY recommend Dennis if you need a loving and attentive pet sitter!!

Alexa is wonderful! She kept us well informed at each feeding and took lots of photos. The cats took to her right away. When we returned home, everything was as it should be. She also went above and beyond when a package arrived while we were away, but was damaged. We highly recommend Alexa and hope that she is available next time we need a cat sitter.

Jordan is fabulous! I needed to book at the last minute and she was accommodating to my needs. My kitty, Percy, took to her immediately. I felt comfortable having Jordan take care of my kitty while I was away. I recommend Jordan if you are looking for a true “cat whisperer”. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!

Isabel does a phenomenal job. My 2 cats just love her, I can tell. She plays with them and is a hard act to follow because even I don't play with them as much as she does. Isabel sends great photos and thorough reports on her visits. I have hired her in the past and will do so in the future. Thank you Isabel!
sydney visited bubba multiple days while i was working all week, i came home to a happy and tired dog, and she was clear with communication and providing updates and taking care of bubba. she made sure to follow instructions well and take great care of bubba. thanks so much sydney, will definitely use you in the future to watch bubs.

Sasha was very communicative with me about her schedule, the drop ins, and how my cats were doing. She gave me detailed updates and really made being away from my cats for the first time much easier because I knew they were in good hands. One of my cats is not a lap cat at all, and she even sat with Sasha on the last day of drop ins, which goes to show how great Sasha was with them!

Liza always takes the time to love on my kitty the way she needs it best. She is accommodating and how she communicates about my kitty makes me know without a doubt that she loves my kitty just as much as if she were her own. That is priceless! Liza will always be my go-to sitter.

Alissa was absolutely amazing with my husky. She took great care of her, great communication, and very good at accommodating my dog’s needs. I felt very safe knowing that my girl is being taken care of. I definitely will be booking with her again and I highly recommend her :)
