“Natalie was wonderful! My cat can be territorial while were away. Natalie was patient, understanding, and extemely communicative. If you need a trustworthy and kind petsitter Natalie is your person!”


“Blane was great! Very kind, and responsive. Dogs were clearly happy to have Blane drop in and we were able to have peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of. Loved seeing the pics! Would absolutely rebook Blane!”


“Charlotte was great! This was our first time using Rover and we could not have asked for a better first experience. Our kitty absolutely loved her when she came for the meet and greet and she took such good care of him while we were away. She really went above and beyond and helped out with some other little things too when she stopped by which was so nice of her. She kept us updated with the report and adorable pics. I definitely recommend her!”


“Ari took such great care of my puppy with short notice! Spent time walking and playing with her and even brought her to the park to get some extra play time! Would love to have him or Sara care for her again”


About: I grew up as a horseback rider in New Jersey with cats and dogs always in my home. I have lived and dog walked/pet sat in cities such as San Diego, Chicago, Seattle, and Boston. I'm currently pursuing my PsyD in Clinical Psychology and wish to unify my love of working with older adults with my love for animals and their healing abilities! I'm currently attending school Monday to Friday, but am open to caring for your beloved pet(s) on the weekends from morning until night. Let's chat to see what works best for you and your schedule! I'm a diligent caretaker ready to follow instructions and requests within your fur baby's natural environment. I'm available to dog walk, pet sit, as well as house sit for your convenience and peace of mind.

“Katherine has checked on our pets several times now! With her help, we are able to leave home knowing our furry friends will be happy and comfortable getting to stay in their favorite place—home! Katherine takes great photos and communicates with us about her visits so well. She is sweet and reliable and Lance and Gwinnie are glad to see her every time!”


“Maria and her partner happily accepted a quick meet up before meeting Mochi and I. They were eager, friendly, and very respectful. They spent and hour each day playing, petting, chasing, and cuddling with Mochi. My little Mochi was ecstatic to see them and play with them. Knowing that she was in great, eager, and safe company and while providing her nonstop attention for the hour was the best I could ask for. Would love to have Maria and her partner hang with Mochi again soon!”


“I feel so lucky that we found Ildi! She’s watched our little old dog Roxy the past 2x we’ve gone on long weekend trips and she’s been so great. I love getting cute photo and video updates! Our flight was canceled and we had to stay an extra day, but Ildi made herself available to take care of Roxy. With all of the stress, it was reassuring to know that Roxy was in good hands!”


About: I’m a teacher off for the summer looking to fill some of my free time with pet care. I'm a dog lover and am very active, looking forward to long walks and jogs with your dog. I have had pets of my own for many years but currently do not have any and would love to care for someone else's like my own. My schedule at the moment is wide open and I’m happy to help anytime of the day/days of the week! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet. I am comfortable caring for pets in clients home. I do not bring pets to my own home due to my partner’s allergies. Most comfortable with walks outside the home.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments for 25 years, starting when I was just a kid! Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, administering medication, or giving baths, I treat every dog like part of my own family. Neighbors, friends, and clients have consistently trusted me to care for their pets with patience, reliability, and compassion. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs, and I’m comfortable handling multiple pets at once. I strive to ensure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I work from home full-time, so pets that stay with me get attention all day long everyday. My schedule is very flexible for visits and walks, and I'll always prioritize what's best for your pups. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priorities. For house sitting, I respect and maintain your home as if it were my own—keeping your pet’s routine consistent and their environment familiar and stress-free. During boarding at my home, your pet will enjoy a calm, secure space with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and a clean environment that feels like a second home. For walks, I use will always use provided equipment and follow instructions as outlined. I'll tailor the pace to your dog’s energy level and needs. I always keep communication open and provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away. I live just off the minuteman path, so even dogs that require longer walks, less stimulation, or whatever other needs your pup may have will be taken care of. They'll be with my two dogs, Odis and Harper who are both very playful and will have your pup quite tired by the time you get them back.

About: Big fan of animals. I'd often walk my grandparents dogs. I'm used to dealing with all sorts of animals. I work especially well with small dogs, no matter how rowdy, and all sorts of cats, no matter how skittish! Working part time as a private tutor on weekdays. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are generally free to pet sit or dog walk for you! If you need a weekday, I should be free before 1pm. With plenty of time taking care of family pets, I'm quite used to handling all varieties of animals. I tend to be pretty gentle when keeping animals grounded, and firm when keeping them calm.


“Priety took phenomenal care of our two kitties! Honestly they could not have been in better hands while we were away for the holidays. Her updates were awesome, thorough, and she was so kind about adding a few more check-in’s after we had to change our return flight last minute. She is very experience caring for animals and clearly loves them as much as we do. I would absolutely recommend having Priety take care of your fur babies!”


About: I have grown up with big and little dogs my whole life. All throughout college, I fostered dogs until they found their forever homes and I currently have a small chihuahua mix (see my picture) who I've trained to do many tricks! I also have experience with different dog temperaments including anxious and reactive. I especially love working with puppies! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am available for walks or overnight stays most days of the week with advanced notice. Every pet is different, so I make sure to follow the instructions and schedules given by the owners. I like to treat their homes and pets with respect and as if they were my own!


“I would highly reccomend Arliya for dog sitting or dog waking! She came to meet us beforehand which was perfect! She arrived on time, sent pictures and was very professional. Our dog loved her and enjoyed her company. We will definitely use her again!”


About: I’ve grown up loving dogs! Always excited to be around them. My playfulness mood always mixes well with them. I also can set a calm mood and environment as well. I’m very reliable and great with following directions. I’ve helped friends and families with their pets when they needed the extra hand. My schedule is flexible which makes me a great choice if you’re in a pinch! My day job is flexible and hybrid, which allows me the opportunity to do this on the side. Nights I have available to dog sit are Sundays to Tuesdays. If I were to take care of a pet in their owner’s home, I would be more than happy to comply with their home rules and make sure the pet is comfy and happy in my company.

“Marina was an excellent choice for a week of daily drop-ins with our senior cat. She took care of feeding and tidying up after him, and the super-cute photos she included with the daily update cards showed us how much he enjoyed social time with her as well! Marina also brought in the occasional package that arrived, a big help to the non-felines here. I fully recommend Marina and would book with her again.”
