“Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs”

“Zwany and Leandro always go above and beyond when caring for our dog, Rocky aka Oreo! When watching him over Christmas, they sent an adorable picture of him wearing a Santa hat and videos of him playing in the snow. They treat or dog like their own, and it means the world to my partner and I! We are so lucky to have found them for our fur babies!!”

“Porter had a WONDERFUL time with Phillipa! She spoiled him with many long walks, treats, and lots of love! He came home calm and happy! Looking forward to the next time Porter gets to stay with her, she's simply the best!”


“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”


“Xiaoyuan and William were the best. I was out on a business trip and they were able to board my Shiba Inu Bolt. Because they had another Sheebs in the house, they were already aware of the quirks of owning the breed but sure it would have been translatable to other breeds. They were very communicative and provided a lot of updates throughout. I highly recommend them.”

“Jessica and her family were amazing! They took wonderful care of our dogs. I’m definitely using her again! We received pics daily and she is awesome with communication. Thanks again!!”

“Kathryn and her husband took awesome care of my two dogs. Taking them on plenty of fun walks and runs. You can tell they really love dogs. We will definitely use them again in the future!”

“Another lovely stay for our girl Mocha at Victoria's! We loved getting all the photos and videos of Mocha out with other pups. She looked so so happy in each pic, gives us great peace knowing she is also having fun and being taken care of well during our trips. Thank you, Victoria!!”

“The best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Christina was extremely flexible and communicative! She provided photos of our pup having the best time all weekend and frankly our dog was less than impressed with us when we picked her up. Will definitely be booking her again.”

“Nalix was everything we wanted out of a pet sitter: prompt communication, accommodating, good care of our dog, and convenient dropoff and pickup. We will use Nalix in the future!”

“This is Cleo and Sansa’s second stay with them. They are very flexible with our timing and the girls love to stay with them. Will definitely keep rebooking with them!”

“Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.”

“Howie runs into Elizabeth and Rodrigo’s home every time I drop him off like it’s his own home!! That’s all you can ask for as a pet parent!! They are so communicative, flexible and kind.”

About: I have a dog of my own, she is 8, but she lives in NY with my mom so it's just me in Boston! I have experience with diabetic dogs, I’ve trained my puppies so I have experience with that as well, along with grooming. I am a dog lover so I will treat your dog as my own! I work full time in person, but my office allows dogs so if you needed a day sitter, I could arrange that! I am new to this, so prices can also be negotiated as well. I just want your puppy to be happy! I work 8:30-5pm Monday - Fridays. I am available weekends and before or after my set work schedule. We can find times that work for us! I work from home in Southie Tuesdays and Fridays, so if you need a walker during lunch in Southie I can do that. My break is 30 minutes. I work in the Seaport Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, so I can walk your dog anytime after 5pm. I live in South Boston starting June 1 so if you live around there I am also available to walk/do drop in visits on weekends at any time, not just after 3pm. I can easily crate a dog if needed - I care for pets as if they were my own. Your dog would not come home with me being that I live in an apartment, but I will be happy to walk your fur baby and play with them at the park!

“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”

“Rachel was great! It was Harley’s first time staying with a new sitter and he can be unpredictable, but Rachel was reassuring and positive about watching Harley and that helped ease my anxiety! She was communicative, sent pictures and did a great job with giving Harley his meds that he is sometimes fussy about. Very happy to have a new reliable dog sitter to add to my rotation!”

“From the meet and greet to our pup, Indy's, overnight stay, Elliot and his wife were wonderful. Boarding with strangers always worries me because Indy is quite large and can be leash aggressive and anxious when he's all alone. Even with just an overnight stay, he was actually able to calm down, eat something, and allow pets and scratches with Elliot. We will definitely go back to them for boarding!”

“Emily was great with our dog Reggie while we were away for a few days. She was quick to respond, flexible on timing, handled his medication schedule, and gave frequent updates. Would recommend her and use her again!”


“We had such a wonderful experience with Soumaya! 🐾❤️ She took amazing care of our dog, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated every couple of hours with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and showed how attentive and caring she was with him. Soumaya is incredibly kind, responsible, and super trustworthy. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Soumaya and would absolutely trust her with our dog again! ❤️🐶”

Krystal and William get all the stars! They did such an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my dog and made the whole experience stress free for me. Every day I would get multiple video or picture updates so I saw exactly how much fun my dog was having. This gave me a ton of peace of mind. They went out to parks, played fetch, had photo shoots, it was all so heart warming. Krystal was also very responsive so I wasn't sitting waiting for replies. They even gave kira a bath because she stayed a week! My little girl came home smelling so good 🤩 They were also clearly very attentive to not only my dog's needs, but also her wants. Kira showed interest in some boiled chicken that was being cooked and Krystal checked in before giving any to Kira. I really appreciated this because my dog has a weak stomach so it's important to regulate her intake. 10/10 definitely recommend leaving your little one with Krystal and William!!

Highly recommend Daria. She's communicative and transparent - letting us know if running even a few minutes early/late or if the normal or if the normal walk has any slight changes in routine. Beyond being very professional, she clearly LOVES being with pups and gave our dog all the love he could ask for. We'll definitely be coming back to Daria in the future.

Alejandro was great and took wonderful care of my dog! After I picked her up, she passed out the minute we got home; which says a lot about how much fun and playtime she must have had, because she’s normally not much of a sleeper! She clearly had a great time, and I’d happily leave her with Alejandro again.

Liza has taken care of our pup a couple of times now and it’s evident that our dog adores her - seeing how excited she is to go hang out with Liza shows how much love and attention Liza gives our pup while we’re away. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sends. Were grateful to have Liza take care of our baby when we’re away!
