“Samantha was amazing with our 2 older cats! They are very shy but were both comfortable every time she came over, and she helped out with insulin injections for our diabetic cat as well. I would recommend anyone who needs help with their pets to contact Samantha!”

“I cannot recommend Lynn enough as a pet sitter! She took such amazing care of Freya, and I could tell right away that my furry friend was in great hands. Lynn was attentive, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure Freya was comfortable and happy. It was such a relief knowing she was well taken care of while I was away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals and is passionate about providing top-notch care. Thank you, Lynn, for giving me peace of mind and making Freya feel at home!”

About: I’ve been a devoted dog mom for my entire adult life, opting for fur babies over physical children. I’m the proud momma of a Yorkie, German Shepherd and Bernese Mountain Dog. I also volunteer as a foster with New England Puppy Rescue (NEPR). I believe that sharing our lives with dogs is one of life’s greatest joys. And while there’s few things I enjoy more than cozy days home with my babies, I also have a strong passion for travel. For years I have tried an assortment of different pet sitters and it’s been a bit frustrating. We’ve had sitters where their prices jumped substantially without warning. Ones that have promised to send photos and then provided minimal updates during their stay. And others that were hard to coordinate dates with. But worst of all we’ve dealt with too many that didn’t quite feel like the right fit. They lacked that feeling of warmth and connection. Over these experiences I have learned that it can feel impossible at times to find the care that truly puts your mind at peace. And so I’ve decided to become that in which I seek. I want to be a safe haven for others - so that when you’re out of town you can feel the truest sense of comfort knowing your beloved pets are in the best care possible. Not only will I treat your dogs like they’re my own - spoiled with plenty of playtime and affection - but I will provide daily report cards and beautiful candid photos. I am a firm believer in building relationships with my clientele so you’ll feel comfortable each and every time you need my care. My three dogs are incredibly sweet and will also make for great hosts, if you should decide to have us watch your little cutie in our home. We have a beautiful, spacious partially fenced in yard. A fenced in pool with its own puppy deck for those hot days when the pups want to bask in a few inches of splash time (life jackets are an option). We also have a gated deck so everyone can hang outside together without any concern of wildlife. For drop-in dog walking visits, I can come with my Bernese Mountain Dog if you prefer. So your angel gets some puppy playtime while we get their exercise in. I am flexible to make sure you’re getting the customized care your little one needs. I even offer an add-on option of airport pickup and dropoff if you’re traveling. Whatever you need, I’m willing to work with you to become your trusted go-to for your pet’s needs. I work entirely remote so I’m with my dogs nearly 24/7. Whether lounging around at home, enjoying playtime outside in the yard or going for nice walks my life is devoted to my own fur family. And I’d love to pay it forward and offer my devoted care to your pets for those times when you can’t be nuzzled up at home with them. My dogs are treated like family. They have full run of the house with toys scattered about. On beautiful days we hang out for hours on our gated deck. And in the summertime they love coming out to our fenced in pool for playtime complete with a sun shelf which serves as a fun, puppy splash pad. Every moment is fully supervised. Especially when we are outdoors. Our backyard is partially fenced but for all of our fur-guests I will be personally taking them out on leash for potty breaks. While our dogs are incredibly obedient and frolick about off-leash in our yard I never want to chance an escape artists for our fur-guests. My dogs love to snuggle on the couches and bed and we never deny them that. Which is the same way we’d welcome a new friend into the mix. We’re used to dog hair everywhere :) For dog walking visits I can come solo or bring along my sweet Bernese Mountain Dog, Willie. Whichever you prefer! Whatever your needs - just ask. I’m happy to accommodate your little one.

“Great visits with Sky - gave him lots of love and attention and always made sure to keep us updated with pictures. Ensured he was fell fed and watered and always had a clean litter box....”

“Sarah was great! She checked in on our cats while we were away, and did so perfectly! 10/10 recommend!”

McKenna G.

“Karina and Jared did a great job looking after my 2 cats while we were away. Jared did the drop in visits to feed, water and scoop. Karina was available for any questions I had and provided help with the Rover scheduling. They kept me up to date on the cat care and were great with communication. Thanks!”

Bridget S.

“Marlena was great with our pet rabbit! She was prompt with checking in with us and responding to our messages and she sent lots of photos of our bun having a great time!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, starting my pet care career in high school at a doggie daycare, and ending up here, with 6 years of professional experience and the same love of animals I’ve had since the beginning. I do have a full time job that prevents me from doing any jobs between the hours of 7am-4pm on weekdays. I have open availability weekends and in the evenings after 4:30pm I treat all animals the way I would hope someone would take care of my girls when I go on vacation. There’s nothing more important to me than knowing they’re in good hands with someone who will not only stop by and feed them, but spend time with them, maybe cuddle on the couch or just keep them company. I understand that your pets are family, and I will always treat them as such.

“Tyler did a great job for us. Amelia is shy around new people but she took to him quickly. Very reliable and easy to work with. Highly recommended.”

Marguerite B.

“Chris was wonderful. Responded at the last minute, supported watching our babies with minimum guidance and was attentive to our babies. I would highly recommend Chris!!! THANK YOU CHRIS”

Suzanne S.

“Karen came at the last minute to help me out at a last-minute emergency. She was prompt and very friendly/helpful. I will definitely use her again!”

Toni M.

“Finding Midori to help with my dogs while I took a trip was truly a blessing. I work from home and never leave my dogs so they have separation anxiety usually. I got videos from Midori showing how excited they were to see her every day that I was away. Lots of updates and communication which was greatly appreciated. She did a great job tiring them out and I’ll be trusting her in the future for my future trips and sitter needs!”

About: I am a professional psychotherapist who works for myself. Caring for animals and others’ homes provides me a sense of connection to my community and is a way to help others—I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family at home and it’s something I know I do well. I have two pets myself—a caring and sensitive Australian Shepherd named John Prine Jr (who is training to be a therapy dog!) and a sassy and silly tortoise cat named Bonnie Raitt. I kept rabbits for 15 years and had and loved other dogs and cats that are no longer with us. I’m a responsible, experienced house sitter with plenty of experience caring for humans and animals. I’m communicative, caring, and work to be attuned to your home and pet care needs; I am comfortable with any number of tasks that pet-owning and pet-sitting involves. Specialities include rabbits (including medicine administration), as well as caring for elder and aging pets. I work for myself and remotely—I make sure my day has the needed flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I have scheduled my own work schedule to meet the needs of my own furry family. I have excellent references and folks I’ve known for years whose pets and homes I’ve cared for. I follow directions well, ask clarifying questions if I need help, and am happy to assist if I can.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and for the last 6.5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising my own fur child, Melli Rose. She’s a black lab (my favorite breed) and is the chillest girl to ever exist. She’s great with other animals. I recently got engaged and am looking to make a bit of money on the side to help pay for the wedding along with getting to meet new pets! I work on a hybrid schedule—3 days remote, 2 days in the office. When I’m remote, I take my dog on multiple walks a day and would love to have yours join! I firmly believe pets are royalty and deserve to be treated as such. Nothing I do could ever repay them for their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love, but I’ll spend the rest of my repaying them with my love and affection.

“Prompt, thoughtful, and communicative. Highly recommended!”
