“Katrin is excellent. She took wonderful care of our pup over several day during our daughter's graduation weekend. She would send photos and updates on their walks, etc. Our dog was anxious because of all the travel, but Katrin was super patient and kind with him. She is also very prompt in her communication. I wouldn't hesitate to book Katrin again.”


“Sylvia took good care of JoJo for an evening. She displayed a gentle, warm approach with him and he was very comfortable with her. We will be glad to engage her again.”


“Kaitlyn is super communicative, thinks about how to make the experience the best it possibly can be for your pet, and sends tons of photos and updates to make sure you know your pet is in the best hands possible and is happy and taken care of! It’s obvious Kaitlyn enjoys caring for pets and that this means more to her than just a job!”


“Jayla was great with my anxious guy! She kindly took the job with a day’s notice 🙏 Thank you Jayla, you’re a lifesaver. Will def hit you up next time he needs care”


“Michelle is the most dedicated dog sitter! She is attentive to every need/want our Gracie had. We will definitely reach out to her again. She also takes and sends the most beautiful pictures and videos. Thanks so much for taking care of our Gracie.”


“Karla was our dog walker when she lived in the Boston area. We were so sorry to see her move away! Karla worked for us for several years. We have 2 dogs- one of which has some issues with prey drive. Karla did a great job learning our dog’s triggers. It was such a real relief that she listened to our concerns and was willing to follow our advice to avoid any issues. My other dog is older and requires meds, also no issues. Overall, Karla was just so incredibly professional. Our jobs require a lot of travel- and sometimes that comes with the unpredictable issues. If Karla had availability, she was always willing to flex her schedule to help us out- I could send her a note and let her know I was going to be late getting home and she would stay to feed the dogs or offer an additional walk. It was just such a relief to have someone we could rely on like that. Karla stayed in our home many times. She always left the house spotless and in perfect order. My neighbors would comment on that she was quiet and polite. I highly recommend Karla, and would not hesitate to hire her again. We will miss having her take care of our dogs!”


“Jules was absolutely wonderful! She made my weekend trip so enjoyable knowing that he was well taken care of. I loved all the pictures and updates she sent throughout the weekend. I would definitely hire her again! I highly recommend to anyone.”


“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”


“Sarah did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. Gabby had some health issues pop up while I was gone, and Sarah kept me updated the whole time. Gabby had to go to the vet, and Sarah handled everything until I could get home. I highly recommend using Sarah next time you need a pet sitter!”


About: I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for years! In the past 3 years, I have consistently pet sat for 10 different households. I have watched both cats and dogs, even chickens and a bunny. I work from home Monday through Friday. I’m available to board, provide walks, or do drop in visits on weekends and weekdays. I can provide walks and potty breaks. I am currently only available to pet sit at someone’s home, but not my own. I can also do drop in visits for cats if needed.

About: I have years of experience taking care of my two feline sons Tater and Tot, as well as a variety of other cats, dogs, and even a few snakes, hamsters, and goats! I understand that pets are family and know it is a privilege to take care of your fur babies. I would treat your pets with the same love and care I show towards mine. As a graduate student with remote classes, I have lots of flexibility to take care of your fur babies, whether early in the morning, late at night, or anytime in between! I know how hard it is to be to be away from your pets. I want you to know that if I have the privilege to care for your fur babies, I will treat them as if they were my own and will send you lots of photos to help put your mind at ease! I am meticulous about cleaning up after pets, will monitor their food intake and hydration, and will provide lots of opportunities for socialization, exercise, and play! I will also keep you posted on their daily health behaviors and will carefully follow any instructions you provide.

“Melissa was exceptional with my senior German Shepard. She sent us lots of pics and updates which we loved. Our pet was loved and cared for like she was Melissa’s. Recommend Melissa’s services 10/10”


“Aura is amazing!! I could tell she really knew what she was doing by her thoughtful questions. She even asked permission to take my dog on a walk in the wilderness which i could tell he absolutely loved from the pictures!”


“Aidan did a great job! He house sat with the puppies for 6 days and he left the house in great condition. The puppies were happy. He sent pictures to let me know they were going well too. I will definitely be using him again.”


About: Building lasting relationships through personalized attention, reliable communication, and treating each pup as my own beloved companion, ensuring their happiness and your peace of mind! I work from home and have flexible availability, I block out morning and evening times to be readily available to tend for your pups needs I have a series of questions I ask to understand the pup I will be taking care of to ensure they avoid dangerous situations that may trigger them, always use leashes and follow schedules they are used to while keeping you in loop of our time together

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages and am able to accommodate certain requests with a conversation with you! I have been a dog owner for my whole life and a more recent cat owner, and cared for dogs and cats of friends, family, and neighbors throughout. I work part time and on an inconsistent schedule, so reach out and I can often accommodate your needs! I am better able to accommodate specific times and dates with more advance notice! I always come to your home so your furry friend feels safe and comfortable in the place they know best. I always take cues from the pet in our first interactions and will prioritize their health and safety, even if that means taking a longer time to get the job done.

About: I've been in love with animals since childhood: dogs, cats, birds, fish. I have fun interacting with them and I am here to give your pet a safe experience while having a good time! I like to intersperse dog walks when I have breaks in my day, but my preference are mornings and later in the evening when the weather is cooler. I cannot board on my rental, but I am happy to come to your home and take your dog on a walk or just hang out for a little bit.

Elise knew exactly how to respect my cat's boundaries and approach her... and now my cat guards her when she is in the bathroom!

I highly recommend her for any kind of pet care.”
