“Myanne was so great with my cat and such a caring and thorough pet-sitter! She is a cat owner’s dream. I felt so secure knowing that Shama was in her hands. She was prompt, communicative, responsible. Myanne played a lot with Shama which was so reassuring to me. I came home to a happy and well-cared for cat and would recommend her to watch your pet in a heartbeat.”

“Ugur was an incredible cat sitter! We just moved to Boston and he took incredible care of our two cats Jackson and Kobe! They both liked him and warmed up to him quickly :) he sent consistent updates and very cute photos and followed all instructions clearly. We can back to two very healthy and happy boys! Would highly recommend Ugur for any of your pet sitting needs!”

“Marina took great care of my cat. He is young with a lot of energy and she spent the time to really play with him and learn what he likes during her AM and PM visits. Her daily notes are very detailed and I felt 100% comfortable with having her in charge for a week. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I'm a veteran providing daycare and boarding, walking and house sitting depending on the dog and owner. The day is generally filled with canine adventures including hikes in a forest and hills, and in the summer, play in dog friendly areas which might even include a pool party and ice cream social! Given the right environment and only with your permission, this can include off-leash time. Pickup and drop-off is almost always available. The quoted price is for a 15 mile range. Extra if farther. ----- Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing with and chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand dogs in particular and vice versa. The same is usually true with other animals as well. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. What you can expect: Boarding and daycare are usually canine adventure time with me. Assuming your pooch is up for it, they'll accompany us on an adventure where they usually are able to play with other dogs, swim, and go on hikes. When the weather doesn't cooperate, that usually means pack walks somewhere like Lowes or somewhere else inside. If your dog tends to be stressed around other dogs and not well socialized, they'll have fun, learn that they are safe and can enjoy themselves while learning to be social and resilient. This is also great for improving their fitness and overall health. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? It's field trip and adventure time, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything and wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 6 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.

About: My experience with animals is 10+ years. I currently have six reptiles including a snake and I have a black lab named Raven and some bettas, too. Other experience includes veterinary internships with hands-on experience, I worked at a farm, I worked at a doggy daycare, and I have passed vet technology courses online. My business is called Mac’s Petcare through which I walk dogs and take care of pets. I really enjoy my career and I would love to work with cats too! I currently only work with dogs but am definitely open to caring for cats. I can do weekdays from around 2-5PM!! I also accept other requests. I walk dogs from 10 AM-2 PM currently, and I love it very much❤️ I try to make sure they feel safe at all times and I make sure they have a good time as well👍😊💜 I absolutely love working with the animals!!

About: I am happy to spend extra time to help your pet feel cared for and get the exercise they need. I'm experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and rodents (hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs) I recently finished school, and am looking for work. I'm currently available full-time for pet care. Even after I find employment, I plan to continue making time for pet care. I primarily care for pets in my clients' homes, since my own dog is territorial. My clients' pets are happy to be cared for in surrounding they are familiar with.

“Isabel was amazing! Very responsive and did a great job.”

About: I have walked dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with my family’s yellow Lab Phoebe, taking on neighbors as clients. I have since enjoyed pet-sitting for friends and having my own pets, including my darling cat Caramel. I have a very flexible schedule as a graduate student — outside of class I am typically at home or studying close by, often in pet-friendly and outdoor spaces where I would love to have your pet join me. I love a long walk and will walk your dog as far as you would like! I am empathetic and considerate and have a deep respect for pets and the humans they live with. I am a clear communicator and will always do my utmost to understand your pet’s needs and give them excellent care.

“Margaret dropped by twice to care for our lovely cat Zara while we were out of town. Everything was great! We would definitely book with Margaret again.”

About: I grew up caring for and feeding the neighbors cats and dogs in my teenage years. Kirby was our first indoor dog, I helped care for him through two knee surges multiple tooth extractions and into his senior years when he required special meals and extra care with respiratory and mobility issues. I've cared for cats, and dogs of varying ages. I typically never travel over the holidays and would be happy to spend time taking care of your sweet pets! I work full time but have extra time on my days off or before and after shifts to give pets the attention they need, I love to get outside wether that's walking (or in some cases pushing the stroller for your senior dog/cat) to get some fresh air and exercise. I'm happy to take them to their favorite park or just hang out and give lots of love and pets or in cases of some cats ignore them till they love me. Let me know if they have any rituals or new training your working on with them so they can have the continuity even when your not home.

“Linda was terrific. She is reliable, detail oriented, and perceptive. She clearly cares deeply about animals. You can be sure your pet will be well cared for.”

“We had a great experience with Ava and highly recommend her. She offered a meet and greet, was always responsive to messages, and regularly sent pictures and updates, which gave us real peace of mind. Most importantly, she truly loves cats, and it shows. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat — we’ll definitely book her again!”

About: Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover and pet parent. I grew up with two wonderful big dogs and many, many cats. Compassionate care and play with animals is central to my life. When I lived abroad on fellowship in Indonesia, I devoted my free time to caring for a colony of feral cats, taking them to the vet, building shelters, and supplying their food. Now that I am stateside and newly graduated from Harvard Divinity School, I am excited to reenter the world of animal care. I am comfortable walking dogs of all ages and sizes, and am more than willing to match their pace and let them take the lead onto their favorite routes. When interacting with dogs, I make sure to practice patience and compassion, and will give them as much love or space as they need. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or for more information! I am looking forward to connecting ☺️ I am in grad school and work part time, so early mornings or evenings work best for me! If it works for you, I would also be very open to doing readings and writing papers while keeping your pet company :) I am a firm believer in boundaries and will respect your pets’ needs for space when needed. I also understand that some pets need a lot of play and am happy to oblige! I am more than willing to work with what is best for you and do my best to exceed your expectations.

“Thomas provided excellent care for our cat and home! We are so grateful for you Thomas! I would recommend him to anyone that was seeking an attentive and considerate pet caregiver. We would love to have you care for Elvie again!”
