“Amy is just a wonderful dog sitter, she was taking care of our dog, who can be quite demanding emotionally, for almost one week. When Amy came to meet us, our dog was staying next to her the whole time, very comfortable and happy to be petted by her. Amy was sending regular videos showing our dog obviously feeling relaxed and cheerful with her. She is very responsive, communication is very easy. I really cannot imagine a better person to take care of our dog. Thank you so much!”

“Kristina was wonderful and so patient with our rescue pup, Mia! Mia can be cautious and afraid of new people so it was nice to have Kristina be so patient with her (and me) about the situation. Mia opened up to her during her stay, and was even sitting on her lap! Kristina was also incredibly considerate of our home and left everything even cleaner than it had been. We were traveling internationally so her constant communication with us was so reassuring and helpful! Thank you Kristina!”

“Maddy was so amazing! She sent multiple updates a day with pictures, and our kitten was clearly incredibly well taken care of and happy. She left our place clean and just like we left it. We’d absolutely book with her again. Thank you again :)”

“Matisse was able to help out with my golden retriever puppy on late notice & he had such a wonderful time. I came home to a spotless apartment & an extremely happy dog :) would definitely love to have her again!”

“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”

“Anastasia was amazing with our two dogs! She was very communicative, kept us updated on how they were doing, and took great care of our home. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

“Jordan was amazing with Frankie!! She sent lots of updates and it’s clear Frankie had a really fun time with her. She went out of her way to meet him beforehand and was very responsive. We will absolutely have Jordan back- we trust her with him anytime!!”

“Marcus was amazing - provided a ton of updates and pictures so we knew our dogs and cat were in good hands. Definitely will book Marcus again when we need someone to stay with the dogs.”


“Bethany was so awesome staying at my apartment with my anxious pup while I was away! I got a lot of photo/text updates and it was clear that Frankie was happy and healthy and comfortable with Bethany. My apartment was well taken care of when I got back as well. I will be using Bethany in the future for Frankie’s needs!”

About: Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around, I'm happy to adapt to their needs and give them lots of attention and care! I've owned many different animals and taken care of them (different breeds, personalities, species, sizes, and ages). I am a long-time dog owner, with one living in Boston with me. I can walk, feed, entertain, and dog sit/watch any breed! I have experience with senior dog care as well, since a previous dog I owned battled cancer and was almost 10 years old (100 pound English Cream Golden Retriever named Nikko). I'm very flexible, responsive, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am a recent college graduate that is studying for the LSAT, but I am available during the day for long periods of time during most (if not all) days of the week. I am very flexible! I would make sure your dog has plenty of toys, water, attention, and exercise as needed and requested. I will ensure your pet is well cared for!
“Arshneel was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Brussel. She really went above and beyond our expectations and made sure Brussel had the best week. She checked in a ton which we asked for and loved! We’re booking her again ASAP!”

“We used Cynthia again and Al were once again very happy with her care towards our pups. She is very attentive and you can tell how much she cares for them. She is a great communicator and sends lots of pictures.”


“Willow was great! She watched our dog in our home and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She was super responsive and sent lots of updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Looking forward to booking her again soon!”

“GREAT dog sitter!! Reliable, punctual. Even coordinated a minor emergency vet visit after noticing our dig was shaking his head alot. Turns out he had an ear infection! She started him on drops and now he is comfortable and happy. Would definitely recommend.”

“Julia was amazing! She took incredible care our French bulldog Nellie and was very timely and responsive! We felt so at ease leaving our dog (aka child lol) with her and having her in our apartment”


“This was our second time having Shelby stay in our home to watch our dog, this time for a long trip abroad for 2 weeks. She took fantastic care of our dog and of our home while we were away. Shelby was super responsive, very respectful of our space, and clearly cared and loved our dog while she was house and dog sitting. It’s great to let our dog stay in a space known to him and we even had numerous neighbors reach out to let us know how good Shelby was with our dog. We will definitely be asking her to watch our dog again in the future!”


About: Based in Beacon Hill, I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from cheeky puppies to sweet seniors. I grew up in a big dog loving family so I am comfortable with feeding routines, long walks, playtime, including running around with them to help burn off energy, and administering medication when needed. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while they are away from their owners. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and personality, since every animal is different in their own unique and wonderful way. My priority is making sure your pet is happy so you can enjoy your time without worrying. I am patient, reliable, and happy to send updates and photos upon request. I am also flexible, able to visit multiple times a day, and can accommodate last-minute requests. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care. I am currently a senior in college and work in a hybrid role that only requires me to be in the office once a week for a couple hours. Because of this, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. I am able to visit pets up to four times a day if needed, and my routine is not fixed, so I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Flexibility is one of my biggest strengths, and I take pride in being able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute requests. In your home, I follow all instructions carefully and treat the space with care. Pets are always leashed during walks and only unleashed once the door is securely closed. If there are multiple pets, I separate them during mealtime when appropriate to avoid any tension. Before I leave, I double-check that doors are locked, lights and appliances are turned off, and your home is left exactly as I found it. Your pets' safety and your peace of mind are always my top priority. On hot days, I make sure they are always hydrated, and am careful of asphalt. Plus, if there are any individual safety requirements, I can happily abide.

Willow was an incredibly thoughtful, diligent and proactive dogsitter for my little mutt Martini! She went out of her way to come meet us first before the home stay so that she could learn about Martini’s quirks, preferences, and ensure that Martini felt super comfortable with her which she did right away! While I was away, Willow shared a ton of great updates about Martini and was super communicative about how everything was going and making sure I was totally in the loop with everything which was so comforting since I was in another country for a trip. I can tell Martini absolutely loved Willow as she cried and whimpered when she left, but we hope to have her come back and watch Martini again sometime soon!!! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a super professional, compassionate, responsible and loving sitter for your fur babies!!!

Raul did an amazing job taking care of my babies! My sitter fell through last minute and he had no problem booking the visit. He was very communicative and made sure to send pictures and updates throughout the stay. My pets were very well taken care of and I will definitely be having Raul watch them again in the future!

Lily was amazing and I wholeheartedly recommend her! I have two dogs and she was wonderful with both of them. My golden, Wrigley, is going through radiation therapy and required special care which she provided meticulously. She was punctual, communicative, and professional and the dogs loved her. She even did the dishes when we were out. Highly recommend - she will take amazing care of your fur babies.

Brandy took wonderful care of my senior dog, Bunny, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly communicative throughout the visit and sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and she was so attentive to Bunny's needs as an older dog. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I would absolutely book with Brandy again. Highly recommend!

Great experience! Masiel took wonderful care of our two dogs over July 4th (and gave them some special love around fireworks!). Came super prepared to the meet and greet, took good care of our home and provided us lots of updates while we were gone. Our boys loved her!

Mirabel took great care of our pups over the Fourth of July, sending us regular updates and great pictures! Pups needed some extra TLC over the weekend, including giving meds multiple times throughout the day, and she provided them with everything they needed and more

Natalia was a great dog sitter! She took amazing care of Tommy and kept us updated with pictures. She gave Tommy a lot of exercise and love! We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter! Seriously no complaints!!

I’m so beyond happy that Luis was available to watch Hallie while I was traveling! He is an excellent communicator and provided me with lots of updates. It made me so happy and more relaxed while on my trip knowing that my girl was having a great time too. His experience working in a fear free setting was incredibly helpful, as my dog is working through some leash reactivity currently. He was so patient with her and made sure to ask questions so he would understand her triggers and how best to try and support her. I’ll definitely be re-booking!

I was apprehensive about leaving my 14+ year old corgi for a week and a half and have been avoiding traveling anywhere I can’t take her for the past couple years. I was so glad to find Lilia and she did a fantastic job. In our meet and greet, she asked many insightful and detailed questions about caring for Lexi, took detailed notes, and Lexi took to her very quickly. As Lexi is senior and has a few quirks, I would only have been comfortable leaving her with someone very experienced and capable in caring for animals, and that was clear from our initial meeting. Lexi had a FANTASTIC time while I was gone. I received daily updates with photos of Lexi on adventures and clearly having a great time. Lilia was also careful to ask me about anything that seemed out of the ordinary in Lexi’s behavior - mostly senior dog quirks I had forgotten to mention but it was reassuring that I certainly would have heard about anything more serious. Lilia was also extremely courteous when it came to my apartment. I am so grateful to Lilia for the excellent care she took of Lexi, allowing me to really travel for the first time in years. My only concern while traveling was that Lexi looked like she was having so much fun that she would be disappointed about me returning home! I will have to find another excuse to travel soon so Lexi can spend more time with her new friend.
