“Angelisse dos so well with my two dogs. Rex is a little anxious and she always ensures he is comfortable and happy while I’m away. She keeps me updated on how they are doing daily while I’m away which I appreciate.”
“Yadira was very kind and ready to go! She kept my dogs comfortable and looked on while I was away, and sent many updates and pictures of the dogs with her ! And had patience with me when the checkout time went a little over and I still hadnt made it home, which was really appreciated. Definitely will look into having her as a dog sitter in the future”
“Jill is amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. We just moved to the area and didn’t have coverage for our week-long vacation. She was professional, super communicative, and kindly pretended not to notice how neurotic I am about my aging shih tzu. She is the reason we were able to enjoy our vacation, and I am grateful beyond words. We will definitely be calling Jill again. And again.”
“Maya was amazing watching my Bichon Frise Roshi. He was diagnosed with a UTI shortly before I left for my vacation and she was able to provide him the best care in my absence. She was able to give him his antibiotics without issues and provided updates and photos throughout my absence. She was kind, respectful, and I really appreciated her. Thank you again for everything.”
“Annie was AMAZING! She took such great care of our babies. Patches has anxiety, and unfortunately gets sick sometimes from it, and Annie went above and beyond on making sure she was OK. She also sent us pictures and a video while we were away. Highly recommend this young lady!!”
“Callan was great house sitting for our two dogs for several days. He arrived a few mins early to the meet and greet and the dogs warmed up to him right away. Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.
“KiAnna was willing to arrive by 6:45 AM so we could depart by 7:15 AM. She took great care of Chester and we will be asking her to house sit and take care of Chester again!”
“I had a great experience with Carol. She took care of my four dogs while house sitting and did an excellent job managing everything. Even with multiple dogs and a few rainy days, she stayed on top of their care and made sure they were comfortable and well loved. She sent multiple updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was also clear from her messages and photos that she showed genuine affection toward my dogs, which meant a lot to me. It was clear she treated my home with respect and took her responsibilities seriously. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was young. We had a dog growing up, and I've taken care of other people's dogs too. Many dogs seem to instinctively get a good reading of me and warm up to me quickly. Right now, I'm making a career switch and have a lot of open time. My work search activities schedule varies, so I can easily juggle taking care of your pets. Some people say that I'm a "dog magnet." It's not unusual for dogs, even unfamiliar ones, to instinctively be drawn to me. I also make sure to read any messages or printouts about care and routines so I can get a good idea of the How, What, and Where.
“Carla is not only wonderful with pets she is a great human! We really enjoyed the experience of working with Carla and I know we will do so again many more times in the future. I would highly recommend her services to anyone out there looking for someone to trust with your pet.”
About: Grew up with a senior dog as well as sitting for all of my neighbors. Experience with all equipment (harnesses, leaders, muzzles, etc.) Available 24/7 for whatever care you need, want to make everyone happy and comfortable! :) I just graduated from Fordham in May and am fully remote for my internship this summer, so I am around all the time for whatever needs you and your family might have! When house sitting, I can stay in your home full-time if necessary to keep your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walk schedule, and any specific instructions you leave, I believe consistency is key to keeping dogs calm and comfortable while you're away. I'm attentive to your dog's behavior and energy levels throughout the day, and I make sure they're getting enough activity, stimulation, and rest. I'm comfortable with all walking equipment including harnesses, gentle leaders, and muzzles, and always keep dogs secure on leash. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own. I send regular photo updates throughout the stay so you're never left wondering how your pup is doing. I'm happy to accommodate any special needs, medications, dietary restrictions, or quirks — just let me know what your dog needs and I'll make it happen.
About: I’ve had several dogs and cats to take care of since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and wanted to work with them in some way, so this is my way to do just that. I currently have a cat and I’m always spending time with my family’s cat and dog. I would love to care for other pets as often as I can. I always make sure that the pet is stimulated and getting enough love and affection. Pets need more than just food and water! I make sure to meet as many needs as possible.
“Matt and Marybeth stayed at our home for 3 days to watch our Newfie. They were absolutely terrific from the first communication through the entire stay— always very prompt, thorough and quickly asked questions as needed. They kept us informed throughout the stay with updates & pics. You can tell from the pics that our Newfie was enjoying her time with them. If we could give them more than 5 stars we would. We plan to use them again.”
“Eleni was great and super responsive. She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, and was great with our two large pups and their differing needs. She was communicative throughout and they were in high spirits when we returned!”
About: Being raised with dogs, cats, and other various kinds of animals since I was 6 years old, I’m not a stranger to small (or even big!) feet following me around the house. From love and snuggles after a long day, to laughing at zoomie episodes, my family has built our lives around our animals. And I would love to add your pet into my happy story. Rest assured, you can leave your fur-baby with me for peace of mind, and can expect them to be loved, cared for, snuggled, and protected as you would do. I have experience with energetic, senior, and pups with allergies and/or meds. I primarily work part time away from home mid-week in the evenings, but work from home the rest of the time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to being home for your baby. I am an avid communicator and will be making sure I follow all necessary instructions left by you (feeding needs, medical needs, etc.). If I’m not sure on something, I’ll always communicate to make sure to provide the best service to your and your baby.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, bunnies, and birds. Growing up with different types of animals taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need structured walks and play, to smaller animals that require gentle handling and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and fully accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adjust my schedule to fit their needs. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I’m able to give each pet focused, unhurried attention during every visit. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. My approach is always needs-based, meaning I follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their personality. whether they need lots of interaction or a calm, low-key presence.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds after I graduated from college and finally have my own place and free time. Been a professional dog sitter for 8 years. Their needs is always my priority. When I dog sitting, I don’t normally go in and out, I always make sure I stay with them because they feel lonely and nervous about their owner is not around. I walk them every hour, take them to park and dog park. I am now between jobs and taking care of my dog whole day at home. He is a super friendly 11 month old Aussie. Fixed male, he loves all dogs and get along with everyone I have been sitting before. He loves when there’s other dogs around. He has no problem with sharing treats and mom’s attention. We have a 1.5 acre big backyard to let them do business, running and play fetch and I always make sure I am at the yard with them. Our neighborshood is away from traffic, quiet and safe for walking dogs. I take dogs to dog park everyday around 5:00 pm for 1-2 hours to burn the extra energy and boost appetite for dinner. I love just looking at them for hours, pay close attention to dogs. How many time they scratch the ears and how many times they pee and poop. I am also good at cooking fresh nutritious dog meal. My dog loves chicken breast, chicken liver/beef liver, carrots, pumpkin and sweet potato meal. I hope my dog Keanu and I can make the stay feels like a vacation and fun for your dog. I have a 3 floor house with big yard, 2 people 1 dog live in the house. The whole first floor is for dogs, with big living room, couch, beds and a crate. Many windows allow them to look front yard and back yard. They can wander around to any floor and room they like, so even if they want some alone time, there are plenty of space for them. I can’t host cats due to my husband allergies, but I always love to go to your place to clean and feed the cats. I am between jobs so I am home 24/7. I go to the yard with dogs every hour to do business or play. Their schedule is always my priority. I always make sure to go to the yard with the dogs. I also have a super friendly 11 month old dog to keep them company

Yadira provided excellent care for my dog for 3 days and nights. When I returned home, my dog, who can be nervous when I’ve been away, was relaxed and happy. I felt very comfortable knowing Yadira was caring for my home as well. She was communicative and I’m very happy with the care she provided.
Margaret (Maggie) provided excellent care of my dog while I was away for an extended time. I am very grateful for the care she provided to him as I know he had lots of walks, lots of fun and companionship. Maggie always communicated well and we talked through my dog’s routine beforehand. While I was away, I received lots of pictures and pupdates. I would highly recommend Maggies’s assistance with any pet. Thank you very much !
This was my first time hiring a dog sitter outside of my own family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Isabel. I was impressed from the very start, not only did my dog warm up to her right away, but Isabel immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She asked all the right questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and really took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. During the stay, Isabel was fantastic with communication, sending regular updates and tons of happy, adorable pictures that gave me such peace of mind. Even when my dog unexpectedly needed an emergency vet visit (through no fault of hers), Isabel was completely on top of it. She could tell something wasn’t right and didn’t hesitate to act. She kept me informed throughout the entire situation and made sure my dog was okay and settled before leaving. On top of that, Isabel was able to watch my sister’s dog alongside mine, and she made the effort to meet both dogs beforehand, asking additional questions to make sure she could care for each of them properly. Every photo I received showed two happy, relaxed pups; it was clear they were in great hands. Overall, Isabel went above and beyond. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
Maya took great care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and check-in messages, and we came home to a clean house. She even went the extra step of stripping the bed and putting the sheets in the washer. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would gladly have her sit for us again.
Alyanna took great care of our dog and cat while we were away. Alyanna was very communicative; she checked in with us regularly and sent us lots of pictures of happy pets. Our house was well cared for, as well. We would definitely recommend and book Alyanna for future visits.
