“Liz was wonderful caring for my 16YO cat Puddles. I live alone and with the summer heat I was worried but Liz was communicative and I was able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing Puddles had someone to check in on her and keep her company daily. Thanks Liz!”
“Sophia was amazing! My shy elderly cat really warmed up to her. There was a slight emergency that happened while I was gone and she did a great job communicating what was happening and keeping me up to date. My flight home was delayed and she was able to take on an extra half day. Sophia really cares about your animals safety and wellbeing and I am so grateful for her! My cat is usually hesistant around new people but she really seemed to have a special touch”
“Nate has been awesome with our dog, Sadie. She can be fearful, but it was very clear at the first meeting that she was comfortable with him right away. He’s very attentive and communicative - sends pictures and videos during his visit, which we love. We will be continuing to have him watch Sadie on a regular basis and occasionally day care and overnights!”
“Mishkat took great care of our two kitties while we were away! She was very communicative and send lots of photos and updates on the kitties!”
“Isabel was so lovely with my precious miss P! I normally endorse contacting sitters with a lot of advance notice and I wasn't able to do so this time around and was so stressed about it. But she took such good care of her in a pinch and played with her and I'm so grateful.”
“Courtney's been great, responsible and takes amazing care of my cat! We'll be asking Courtney back soon”
About: I’ve had pets and been around animals my whole life, and truly adore all breeds. I know how important keeping to a schedule is for your pets and have always been a reliable person once I commit to a task. I have experience caring for my own pets as well as other family members pets. I am self employed and make my own hours so I can easily pop in during the day to walk, feed or check in on your pets!

“Aldila took amazing care of my two kitties!! They’re a finicky duo and one is usually incredibly shy but she was super comfortable with Aldila and was brought out of her shell.”
“Lucy is an amazing top tier cat sitter!!! Our cats absolutely adored her, and she was really reliable and great. We had to set things up last minute, and she was so flexible and kind about all our schedule issues. Thank you Lucy!!!”
“Justin was a fantastic rover! We were disappointed when our long term rover moved and he made the transition to a new car sitter easy. He spent more than the requested time with our cat, which was very appreciated, and met us beforehand to ensure the cat and we were comfortable. We are glad we found him and are able to rely on him in the future!”
“Hayley was great with my needy cat! She gave him plenty of love and attention while I was away and kept everything super tidy. Also super flexible and easy to communicate with :)”
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for animals—including multiple cats and a beloved dog growing up—I understand the unique personalities and needs of both feline and canine companions. I currently share my home with a sweet cat, and I treat every pet I care for like family. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some comforting company, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care. I currently work full time (hybrid) as an accountant and am open to discussing a schedule that works best for you and your pet! On typical work from home days and weekends I am flexible with pet care throughout the day, and office days I am available before 7:30 am and after 5:30 pm. I value pets safety and would carefully follow instructions and limitations/resources for each pet within their home. We have an indoor cat and I understand the importance of keeping them safe!
“The best! Emily is the person we trust to care for our cats. She is communicative, considerate, and sends awesome updates. My cats and I are grateful!”
About: I own one French Bulldog who I have raised and trained since he was 8 weeks old. I work from home every day and get to enjoy the little potato through all his zoomies and shenanigans. I grew up with a wire fox terrier who I also participated in training and pet sit to this day. I have also house sit a friends dogs while growing up. My daily life now consists of feeding my dog Wally twice a day, taking him out every two hours to go the bathroom, going on neighborhood walks, and enjoying plenty of active play time. I live with my girlfriend and everyday, permitting nice weather, we get outside and enjoy meeting other dogs and people. Occasional vet visits and dog parks fall into our routine too. I am currently in between jobs. So while i have study breaks. interview breaks, etc, it would be nice to help out any dogs and their owners however I can. In my home it is relatively small on the bottom floor to ourselves. We let our dog roam wherever we want and is generally always in our line of vision. We do let our dog sleep on furniture and the bed. We also have bought many boxes, etc to puppy proof our house because Wally is one nosy dog! In terms of your dog, I would abide by your rules and follow any instructions provided, whether at your dogs home or mine or out on walks.
About: I've cared for dogs my entire life, from relaxed senior companions to high-energy pups, and I understand what your dog needs to have a fantastic time!

Additionally, having high-energy dogs back home, I’m well-versed in managing pups who need plenty of exercise. I can also provide gentle, leisurely care for elderly dogs needing extra attention. If there’s specific training you’d like to reinforce, I’m happy to help your pet thrive during our time together! I'm a graduate student at Boston University, and I work mostly from home. With a very flexible schedule, I'm eager to help care for your pet during busy workdays or whenever you need an extra hand. Whether it’s a midday walk or dedicated attention, I’m here to make life easier for you and more enjoyable for your furry friend! In your home, I ensure your pets feel secure and happy by following their daily routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and any special care they require. I always keep your home tidy and respect your space while taking care of your pets.
“Anyi was great to our dog for our quick weekend visit. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a sitter! :)”
About: I'm a life long pet lover! I grew up with dogs and I've taken care of them at every stage of life. I have experience taking care of elderly and disabled dogs. We had two Tibetan Terriers, who lived until 15 (Tuco) and 17 (Tina). Tina lived long and healthy life until nearly her 18th birthday, with the normal challenges of being a senior towards the end of her life. Tuco struggled with some disabilities/health issues from a young age (two spinal surgeries) but we cared for him and despite his troubles he was a very sweet and happy dog! At the moment, I don't have any pets at my home but my family adopted two more adorable Tibetan Terriers (Abby + Ema), so they are my part-time pets! I work remotely from home, so I have a fairly flexible schedule during the day. I enjoy going for walks in the neighborhood and to the park. I ensure dogs are safe by using secure leashes and avoiding hazards like traffic. I follow each owner’s instructions, customize care for each dog, keep walks calm and positive, and provide updates to keep owners informed.
“Ghadeer is friendly, responsive and took amazing care of our 3 cats while we were away. They warmed right up to her when meeting her and we had a relaxed time away knowing they were in such good hands.”
“Anna did an amazing job with my two cats over the 1.5 week stay. One had just come out of a health scare a few weeks earlier and she went above and beyond to help alleviate both his stress and mine during the stay. Anna is an absolute gem!”

Natalie M.
“From the moment she got her first dog, Tina, when she was 11 years old, Natalie was smitten, but unlike most kids who love their dogs, but don’t take on the responsibilities that go along with it, she did. Not just taking care of her, but taking care of her grooming, brushing her coat, trimming her nails, even making her own treats for Tina. She loved that dog and she took care of all her needs. But that’s just who she is. She does that with everything in her life. She takes full responsibility: She does the research, planning and execution. Even now when she comes to visit our dog, Abby, she will say Abby needs this or Abby needs that and always takes Abby for her walks. I know that when we go away and I have Natalie to take care of the dogs, I don’t have to worry. She loves them. She talks to them. She cares for them. Any dog who is lucky enough to have Natalie, will be cared for 100%. She takes her responsibilities very seriously.”
