About: I live a very active lifestyle, so I would be able to give your pet an excellent level of activity, comfort, and care. I’ve always believed pets thrive when they stay engaged and exercised, and I’m here to make sure your dog gets just that. Whether your dog needs a brisk jog, a fun play session, or a calm walk around the neighborhood, I match their energy.. and more! I treat every pet like my own and their safety + happiness are my top priorities. I’m only working part-time right now, so I have plenty of room around my schedule to work with your pets. I have the most time in the morning and late afternoon/early evening, so I can even house sit for your pet! I treat all pets with respect and I give full attention to their needs and routine. I’m a quick learner, so if there’s any particular instruction that needs to be addressed, I will adapt to that with ease.

“My wife and I are first time dog owners who recently got a puppy. Anastasia took care of him for an evening while we were away and did a fantastic job! Theo was so comfortable with her and the peace of mind knowing that he was safe and well cared for is all I could ask for. Will definitely be working with Anastasia again!”


“Andrew stayed for a week+ with our rescue hound mix, Jack, and was awesome—- he sent me 2 photos a day, is very responsive to messages and left us with a clean house and happy dog! Thanks, Andrew.”

Her warm approach and genuine love for animals shone through. During our time away, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which greatly eased our minds. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for Tobias. Emma's attention to detail and exceptional care were so impressive that we didn't hesitate to book her for another house sitting right away. Highly recommend Emma for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house and pet sitter!”

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! I've worked closely with a certified trainer and breeder, gaining hands-on experience with puppies just weeks old.

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.

“Katherine was literally a life saver. I went away to Egypt for 2 whole weeks and did not worry once that my babies were in good hands. My kitties are rambunctious little girls and she handled them so well and sent plenty of pictures and notes to make me feel comfortable. Have already booked again for a different trip and so happy to find someone who I trust.”
