“We were so relieved to meet Mackenzie and have her care for our pet while we were away for the day. She is very personable and friendly and we felt completely relaxed while away knowing that Bentley was in excellent hands. We would not hesitate to have her care for him again.”
“We had another wonderful experience with Elizabeth watching our 2 cats! She was prompt, reliable and sent so many pictures! She was also very helpful when I messed up the days we were going away, she completely accommodated us. She is highly recommended by us!”
“Tarah has been great! She sends helpful updates after ever visit and very cute pictures. I love the fact that she is a Vet tech. and that she deals with pets on a professional level. She offered welcome advice after our puppy was spayed recently. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I love all pets and have experience with cats and dogs. I treat them like members of the family and am very attentive. I’m the person at a party that will ignore the people if pets are around. I have a very flexible schedule currently so I can be of help whenever needed. I am available weekends and weekdays. Available all day also I am very passionate about animal safety. I am aware of every precaution necessary and safety is my number one concern. I am very trustworthy and am always thinking about your pets’ needs first.
About: Hello, Nadine here. Looking forward to helping you and your pets needs. I am comfortable with all size dogs and look forward to meeting you soon. I am a dog mom, a full-time banker, and in my free time I enjoy long walks and everything and anything to do in nature. I am a proud owner of a miniature schnauzer, who is 15 years old. I am open to long walks, short walks. I understand work, life balance, and the stress of not getting home to our fur babies.
About: Although I don’t currently own a pet, I grew up with a dog and am a loving dog uncle. I also love cats and always seek compassion and care for wildlife! My current schedule is very free, as I was recently discharged from the military and will be starting grad school in September. Until then, I am just looking for new things to do! I’m willing to do whatever is needed, within reason of course! With my military background, my attention to detail is one of my strongest traits, and I’ll ensure I provide only the best care for your beloved pet.
“Tayla did a great job watching my pups during a quick overnight trip. She followed my instructions well, kept me updated and the pups seemed very comfortable having her here.”
“Mikey was a great choice to watch our boy, Radar. They were able to watch him last minute, which we were so thankful for. Mikey was on time and communicated well regarding meals, playtimes and potty breaks, not to mention they were super kind. They even cleaned up a mess one of our cats had made even though they weren’t part of the gig. We recommend Mikey to anyone looking for pet sitting.”
About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats for the past 10 years. I also trained my hyperactive and anxious German Shepard since she was a puppy so I have knowledge on training tactics, special circumstances, and puppies as well! I am applying to medical school and working a part time position and would love to visit your pet and give them the care they need! I would love to walk your pet anywhere in Boston or care for them in your home in the South Boston area. I love to go on walks, play in backyards, or just give some love through pets and cuddles! My work allows me to be available 2-3 days a week and during the day on some weekends based on my schedule! Variable but flexible! Also very open to recurring services. I care for your pet as my own but unfortunately my apartment is pet free so I can only pet sit in your home. My schedule typically includes a bathroom walk in the morning, a long walk, ample play time, and certainly a walk before bed.
About: I’ve had all sorts of pets for many years including 3 fish, 2 cats, and 5 dogs. I’ve helped take care of not only them but also my friends and neighbors dogs for many years in all manners from short walks to overnight stays. I’m currently a freshman and the University of Washington and am on break right now giving me all the time in the world to help care for your pets until I leave for Washington on Jan 3rd. I have helped care for dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to my big chocolate lab so I am well equipped to care for any size animal.
About: My family and I have always been animal lovers. We currently have a german shepard, 2 cats, a lovebird, and a leopard gecko. When I was about 9, I would walk around my neighborhood and ask if anyone wanted their dog walked because I didn’t have one at the time. In more recent years, I have become the person my neighbors ask to watch their pets while they are away. I would be happy to give your pet the love they need, so please reach out! I graduated high school this year and I thought the perfect job would be spending time with animals. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m mostly available during the week, but my schedule is super flexible. My job allows me to choose my availability week by week, so I can tailor my schedule to fit in your needs. I have been caring for my friends and neighbors pets in their homes for a few years now, so I am used to that kind of schedule. I am happy to take lots of pictures of your pets for you while you’re away. I do like to have a second contact just in case I can’t reach you (if possible).
“Janice was great-she communicated really well on how Brady was doing. Janice is a very nice person and a very responsible person. I felt very comfortable with Janice taking care of Brady.”
About: In addition to taking good care of my own pets I'm licensed by the state of NJ for animal control. Well-versed in dog training. Kennel keeping/animal hospital experience. I'm working part time at present and make my own schedule, so I have a wide array of availability to accommodate whatever you and your animals may need! I'm a very attentive animal lover, always on the lookout to keep them safe, happy and healthy. I'm the type of person that asks your dog how they're doing and understands the silly ways they reply.
About: I am a dog lover who loves spending time with dogs and understanding their need for play and comfort. I do well with all types of dogs and adore my two golden doodles at home ages 9 and 5. I am comfortable taking dogs out for daily, weekly or off cycle walks whenever the owner needs to go on vacation, take a day trip, or a night out. You are a great listener and follow an owner’s requirements for daily care whether that is replacing water bowls, gentle brushing, walking dogs in a specific way, or even extra cuddles :) .

Anthony L.
“Anthony is the IDEAL pet caregiver!! Having tried several sitters who just did not work out, I came across Anthony and entrusted him with the care of my French Bulldog (King). As many of us understand how delicate our funny-breathing friends can be, especially at a young age, to my pleasant surprise and enjoyment, each time Anthony cared for him he provided EXTRAORDINARY service that was unmatched based on my previous experiences! Honestly, at a point, I thought my little man loved him more than he loved me, ha! My pup is now 4 years old and Anthony continues to provide the same care that is just as attentive and considerate as the care he provided when King was just 5 months old. Anthony is certainly the best of the best and I'm so grateful to have him caring for my little guy!”

Kelly is great with my cats. They were COVID kittens, so they weren’t as socialized as well as I would’ve liked as kittens and one can be particularly shy, but Kelly managed to charm him out of his shell in just a day. Now, with repeat bookings, they both come out for love and belly rubs
Grace is a total sweetheart and takes great care of our little cat Callie when we are out of town. I truly believe that Callie hardly misses us when we are gone due to her dependence on Grace’s visits! We look forward to using Grace’s excellent services in the future. She is kind, compassionate, thorough and reliable.
