“Cannot recommend Sara enough! She was incredibly thorough and sent so many pictures and videos. We were out of town for about a month so she even offered to help with the plants and bringing in the mail, etc. She is incredibly kind, professional, and very obviously LOVES animals. It was such a relief to know my little buddy was in such capable hands. Thanks again Sara!!”
About: Pet care has been a foundation of my life for over a decade. I’ve walked dozens of dogs— from little to big— and love taking care of dogs and cats overnight. I’m eager to get down and play, yet always maintain firm boundaries and safety precautions with the pets in my care. Young, energetic pups are my jam (I’m an athlete!), and I equally love a slow (sometimes grumpy) older dog. I’m familiar with breed-specific needs and cautions (I’ve walked huskies, beagles, labs, mutts, doodles, and little dogs) and I’m eager to be a part of your pet’s care! Flexible dog-lover with some time on my hands between remote commitments. I love walking dogs, cat sitting, and providing animal-specific support and enrichment! I’m excited to help out. My favorite pet care involves time outside — but I’m adaptable to any needs. I have years of experience pet and house sitting in people’s homes— I prioritize privacy while ensuring safety of your pet. I’ll make sure to get your emergency contact info and any pet health concerns before you leave— I make sure to be prepared for any emergency. When I walk, I’m prepared with my fanny pack of poop bags, your pet-specific treats, and water for long walks!
“Anindita was great with our dog; she gave him good exercise, got his meds on time, and took pics of him to let us know he was okay. He loved his time with her. Thank tou!”
“Rachel was awesome helping out in a pinch when my flights got delayed and I needed an extra check in added on to my booking for Gracie and I came home to a happy kitten!”
“Liv did a wonderful job caring for our 2 cats, 1 rabbit and fish. She was prompt each day and made sure to send pics of each pet along with food, water and litter box. She communicated whenever needed and made sure to check in prior to last day.”
About: I've always had dogs, but unfortunately my last dog (the dalmation mix) took a trip to doggy heaven a little while while ago. This is a wat to slowly get back to the pet world since at the moment I can't have another one (...yet!). I currently work 9-5. If you have an independent dog/cat, that wants loving before and after that, we can work it out. *sharing bed included* Walking, feeding, playing, cuddling, sharing a bed- just tell me about their habits, needs and likes. This is their time, and I will make sure they're happy and well taken care of.
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young, with over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience. Friends and neighbors often trust me to walk, feed, and look after their dogs. At home, I'm the proud owner of a mini poodle, so I understand the daily needs, routines and personalities of small breeds. I'm patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always attentive to each pet's comfort and safety. Also I love running and often take dogs with me for safe, fun jogs, which keeps them happy and healthy. I care for my own mini poodle every day, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine. This makes it easy and natural for me to care other dogs at the same time. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I live in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood that's very safe for daily walk. Our home is just a short walk from Nara Park and Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. My friendly mini poodle helps new pups feel welcome, and I always supervise playtime to make sure every dog feels secure and cared for.
“Eric was attentive to our cats' individual needs. We apprentice his attention to detail. Additionally, he went above and beyond when a tree fell at our house and helped us by taking photos of the initial incident.”
“Wendy was reliable and sweet with our cat, Coraline. She followed our directions and sent us pictures, and we never had to worry that coraline was well taken care of on our trip. Thank you, Wendy!”
“Eden did a great job getting to know and interact with our shy older kitty. He seemed to enjoy her petting and play time! We appreciated her messages and photos.”
About: I studied animal sciences at the University of Vermont and have experience working in a veterinary office. I have grown up with dogs since I was young and have cared for them from puppies to seniors. I have experience administering medications and providing intricate care for each individual pet. My education and training allows me to have a better understanding of current health issues as well as any potential emergencies, should they arise. I am currently between jobs and am looking to provide care for those in my area. I recently moved back to MA and am looking to meet new pets and people. My schedule will be open all week with the exception of a few trips for personal reasons(these are few and far between). I like to create a sense of trust with clients through consistency and transparency. I am very respectful of a client's home and do not share any details with anyone in my personal life. I also like to establish trust with the pets in the home and reassure them that I am a visitor that belongs in their space.
“Kaylee did a wonderful job taking care of my Nina while I was away. She was on time at my place and did a good job at feeding her, and cleaning her litter. She also sent pictures of a happy well fed cat. I will be asking her to take care of my Nina next time I’m away.”
“Marla is the best. She took exceptional care of my cat and he loved her visits. She is very conscientious , she made sure my cats feeding area was kept clean and she even brushed him and made sure he had some playtime. I going to hire her again and would gladly give her a reference.”
“Emma agreed to check-in on my 2 active dogs on very short notice. She did a great job and communicated well through-out the process. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her. Erik”
“Anna & Ivan did a wonderful job caring for our cats and our home! They were very attentive and it was clear from all the pictures that the cats had a great time. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, feeding and playing with cats, feeding and playing with dogs, and feeding and playing with rabbits! I am a full-time teacher, so I have availability in the summer, weekends, and on school breaks. I can do drop in visits and/or walks! When I am going in to other’s homes, I am respectful of their space. I will make sure it is as clean as it was when I arrived.
“Seamus helped me out totally last-minute and was a perfect caretaker for my two cats. Seamus was not phased by Zola, my standoffish cat, and noted "Zola sightings!" And he noted that my furry 17-lb, Squirrel reminded him of his cat. I highly recommend Seamus! So do my cats!”
