Victoria is very attentive to your dog’s needs and makes sure that your dog gets tons of exercise. She took care of our Maisy who seemed super happy and also smelled great at the end of the stay. She’s easy to reach and sends daily updates. Would definitely trust her in the future with taking care of Maisy.

Ryan was just what we were looking for in a dogsitter. He was super flexible, considerate and a pleasure to meet! Ryan’s dog Luna has a great temperament and it was clear she didn’t mind sharing her home with our dog for a weekend. Ryan’s the go-to for any Southie dog owner!

Phi took amazing care of my dog while I was away! He was extremely communicative and accommodating throughout the whole process. He sent multiple (high quality!) photos each day and it was clear that Lani was being kept safe, busy and happy, and getting lots and lots of love. 20/10!

Harry had the best time with Michelle! She sent tons of pictures and kept me up to date on how he was doing (he made himself right at home). He got plenty of walks and was fed and tired when we picked him up.

Lydia took great care of our puppy over a long weekend! We got frequent updates and pictures of their adventures, and our dog loved her pup as well. We felt confident that our dog was in good hands and would definitely leave her with Lydia again.

Matias was super responsive and took her on many walks. I think she enjoyed her time there, and when I picked her up, she was clearly comfortable in his home and with him. Matias was very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and I appreciated that he offered to have a meet and greet before her stay.

Sarah is wonderful! She was lovely, responsible, and fabulous with our pup who stayed with her for a whole week, and she was perfect in her communication with me. Our dog can sometimes be a little difficult on leash, and she managed him beautifully. She really helped me feel comfortable while away, in not needing to worry at all about my dog. She was also incredibly flexible as it was better for me to drop him off a day earlier than initially planned. I fully and completely recommend Sarah (though I don't really want to because I know she'll become hard to book!).

About: Hello! I'm Rita and a lover of animals. When I was 3 years old, I had my first dog in my family, so my childhood was full of memories of growing up with dogs and having fun together. Now I have 2 Shiba Inus, Umi is in my hometown with my parents and Chuu is with me and my husband here in Boston. Because of this wonderful time, I learned how to take care of dogs and make them feel happy, comfortable, and company when they need me, which is most important for our lovely and needy dogs. I am comfortable with nervous or energetic dogs and I have confidence they will open up to me quickly. My close relatives, families, and friends said that dogs all have a super comforting presence with me. I believe that I establish a bond with dogs easily and I truly am a dog whisperer. My husband and I both work from home, so we have more flexibility to accompany your loved ones. Our neighborhood is pet-friendly, and my apartment complex even has a small dog park on the 5th floor! Plus, a park nearby has two dog parks within a 5-minute walk! So, you can rest assured that your furry friends will have plenty of space to run and play. I promise to treat your pets like my own and spend quality time with them daily. Let me take care of your dogs - you won't regret it! My husband and I are both WFH, I’m currently on a flexible schedule, so I have a plenty of time hanging out with your pups! When I am entrusted with the responsibility of caring for pets either in my own home or that of my clients, I ensure that they are provided with fresh food and water at regular intervals throughout the day. Additionally, I make sure that their living area is kept clean, hygienic, and comfortable for them to live in. Apart from meeting their basic needs, I also spend quality time with them to help them feel loved and cared for. This could include playing with their favorite toys, taking them out for walks, or simply snuggling up with them for some much-needed cuddle time. If I am responsible for the care of a dog, I make sure to take them out regularly for potty breaks and exercise, so that they stay active and healthy. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality, preferences, and needs, and I strive to be attentive to their individual needs and cater to them accordingly. I understand the importance of keeping a clean and healthy environment for your furry friends. If I'm caring for a cat, for example, I make sure to clean their litter box daily to prevent any unpleasant odors or unsanitary conditions.

Kayla is such an amazing sitter for our girl Libby. She’s always updating me with pictures. She takes such great care of her. Libby gets out for plenty of walks and even gets to visit the beach. And Libby gets along great with her dog summer which is a huge plus.

Sifan was amazing with my cat. She was super attentive and updated me throughout my trip. She stayed with Sifan for 10 days and I felt so comfortable the whole time she was there. My super shy cat opened up to her so quickly. She’s clearly great with animals and has a super comforting presence about her. Amazing. Would highly recommend and will be booking with her again

Kat has been an absolute gem with our Great Dane, Duke. Her dedication and love towards animals shine through in her care. Duke was not just taken care of; he was treated like a member of Kat’s family, always excited to see her and a bit sad to leave. Kat’s ability to make any pet feel at home is remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a responsible and loving pet caregiver.

My dog Bru had an excellent time with Ethan and his dog Zeke. Ethan gave daily updates with photos which is nice to check in. Would use Ethan again if I need to leave Bru home.
