“Hannah did a great job taking care of my cat Luna for two weeks! She was very friendly and communicative during drop ins. Luna loves attention and was very comfortable and happy with Hannah while I was away. Would highly recommend!”
“My mind was put at ease on my trip knowing Casey was looking after my cat, Tedy. Part of the highlight during my trip was seeing all of the pictures/videos and review Casey would provide each day. Casey was incredibly accommodating and stuck to a consistent schedule, which was perfect for my cat. You can tell Casey is a true animal person and she enjoys taking care of all animals. I definitely plan to use Casey’s services in the future.”
“Erin was a wonderful catsitter for our boy Merlot! She was kind, respectful, responsible, and communicative. We asked to receive picture updates and received daily photos of well-loved cat. I would recommend Erin without hesitation and will gladly ask her to watch Merlot again.”
“Jenna is an excellent sitter! I feel confident knowing Sam is in good hands with her. She’s communicative, friendly, and really tries to get him to be active (even when he only wants pets 🤣). Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I grew up with dogs & cats throughout my childhood and then got a dog of my own during COVID. Due to a breakup, I no longer have my dog & have been chasing to get puppy snuggles wherever possible. I have dog sat for friends and family countless time. I also volunteer occasionally at the Animal Rescue League of NH & also am looking forward to find a MA organization, now that I live down in MA! I work full time with 2 days in the office. The other 3 weekdays, I work fully remote & am flexible! If you live close by, I can stop by to let your dog out, take them for a walk or just give them some love for a bit. And of course, I’d love to stay at your home if needed (and could even work remotely from there if you’re okay with that!) I’m happy to accommodate to whatever you need in your own home! Since I don’t own my current place & have a dog living here currently, I am only offering services outside of my house. This will include- dog walking & in house visits/stays for cats & dogs. However, that means you get to tell me where everything is & we don’t need to take your perfect dog/cat out of their safe space. 🤍
“We're so happy to have connected with Emily not only because the cat likes her and does well spending time with her, but she's such a pleasure to work with--responsive, reliable and very conscientious, kitty-focused and attentive to detail. We found a great fit!”
“They took care of my baby boy very well. Left them detailed instructions that they followed and any alterations they accommodated. I would hirer them again.”
“Stephanie watched my two Frenchies and they absolutely love her! My dogs were well exercised and happy. The updates and photos sent throughout her stay gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of my fur babies!”
“We absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about Mina! She consistently goes above and beyond when caring for our cat, and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving, attentive hands. She makes sure he gets plenty of playtime, affection, and personalized care, and she somehow manages to capture and send the most amazing photos and updates that truly brighten our day while we’re away. Her communication is outstanding, always keeping us informed and reassured. Mina is incredibly trustworthy and dependable, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We would trust her to care for our cat anytime without hesitation and highly, highly recommend her!”
“Miliana was great! Very flexible and proactive— scheduled time to meet with our cat beforehand. My cat is super shy but warmed up to Miliana quickly! Definitely recommend. :)”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets and others’ since I was about 8 years old. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pet-sitting needs, and I genuinely love being able to help out. I grew up with both cats and dogs (and a few other animals along the way!), and spent a lot of time training and doing agility work with my family’s Border Collie. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to senior pets, as well as all sizes and temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering medications to your pets, and have had experience doing this with both cats and dogs. I just finished graduate school, so I’ve got good availability during work hours/work days to do check-ins and walks! My schedule is extremely flexible as I job hunt for a full time position. My cats are indoor cats and have plenty of access to toys, climbing trees/stimulation, food and water, and their litter box! I would ensure that your pets are extremely well cared for according to your instructions.
“Jessica is AMAZING! She took great care of my precious kitties and sent pictures so that I would not miss them as much. I am so grateful to be able to travel and not have to worry about my fur babies!”
“Emily was AMAZING! This was my first time leaving Kearny alone for several days in a row and she was extremely attentive to both him and I! She made sure he had enough food and water and also provided great updates on how we doing! Thank you SO much Emily!”
“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone! She provided several pictures and detailed updates so I could stay informed of how everything was going each day. Would recommend her to others!”
About: Hi! My name is Gabby and I’m looking for opportunities to walk/run with dogs in the North End (or nearby) between 11 am and 12:30 pm on mondays and wednesdays and any time 12:30 or earlier any other day of the week while I build my personal training business. 🙂 I have been dogsitting and walking dogs consistently since 2023 and previously from 2019-2020. I have watched a lot of different kinds of dogs and especially like working with active breeds who need to expand some energy on their walks! I’d love to learn about your dogs needs and what I can do to support them on their walk (or run). I’m looking to increase my running mileage this spring and summer, so if you have a dog you run with who needs a run, I can run with them to help them expend some energy!
“Veronica was a wonderful sitter for my cat! Very communicative and respectful, and flexible when unexpected things came up! Would recommend 100% and would definitely book again!”
“Angela took great care of my cat Molly over the holidays! She was thoughtful, sent great pics, and ensured she was fed, had water, and litter box was taken care of. I totally trust her with taking care of her!”

Nathan took great care of our two cats during a two-week trip, and we would happily book him again. He was reliable, communicative, and easy to work with, and he sent regular check-ins that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. During each visit, he handled everything we needed — feeding, checking the litter, playing with the cats, making sure they were happy and comfortable, and even tidying up a small mess one of them made — all without any fuss. We also appreciated his patient help when our Litter Robot got a little finicky mid-trip. Overall, Nathan was thoughtful, dependable, and clearly cared about making sure our cats were well looked after. We were all very glad to have his care.
The best of the best!! Mary Kate loves Betty like her own and it’s evident in her care for her. I also had a small issue with something in my apartment and Mary Kate was communicative, flexible, and a HUGE HELP to get it resolved!! Thank you so so so much as always :)
Isabel was an incredible sitter for our special needs cat, Maeby. Maeby is diabetic and needs to be on a strict feeding/insulin shot schedule and Isabel handled everything perfectly. This was the first time we have had to be away from our cat since her diabetes diagnosis so we were quite nervous about the whole thing but after meeting Isabel and getting her check-in updates, we definitely felt much more relaxed and comfortable knowing Maeby was in great hands. I highly recommend Isabel and will 100% invite her back to take care of Maeby in the future.
Courtney was absolutely fantastic! She went out of her way to make a special trip to meet Dolly beforehand, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves animals. She took wonderful care of my cat and was incredibly accommodating when an issue came up with the key. I had unfortunately left her with a lock that wasn’t working properly, and she handled the situation with patience and resourcefulness. I felt completely at ease knowing Dolly was in such caring and capable hands.
Suzete is the best! She cares for our cats like they’re her own. Even our shy girl loves playing with Suzete! She is patient and is able to administer insulin (a tall task!) to our boy. She always leaves our apartment cleaner than she found it and sends thorough updates. We are lucky to have found her!
I’m lucky my 17 yr old cat has Grace to look in on him. She’s very responsive to his needs, whether it is to play or sit and be scratched under the ears. She’s sends reports so I don’t worry about him. Grace is his favorite. He tells me by how calm and content he is when I get home.
