We also received really nice report cards with a summary of their stay and wonderful Polaroid photos of each pup which are now on our fridge. We will for sure be booking with them for future pet sitting!”

“Tiffany took SUCH great care of our puppy. We dropped off our very energetic 8 month old with Tiffany for a weekend while we went out of town and we knew our pup was in great hands. This was our first time leaving her with a sitter so we were unsure what to expect. Tiffany made us feel so confident and comfy and sent lots of pics. She clearly knows what she’s doing and truly loves dogs.”

She sent tons of photos and videos, more than any sitter I’ve ever used before, and it looks like Tilly had a fantastic time! I was an anxious mess from the very beginning but Hanna eased my worries with her calm and kind responses to all my concerns. We will definitely be back!”

About: I grew up with cats and have years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays while their owners are away. I’m dependable, attentive, and patient, and I treat every pet like my own. I’m in between jobs so currently home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walks throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks around the Seaport. I’m also available for boarding and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, and photo updates while your pet is with me. I provide a clean, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I’ll closely follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and care routines, keep them safely leashed outdoors, and make sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day.

Emily and Dan were absolutely fantastic! They took such great care of Sansa while we were on vacation and kept us updated throughout with adorable photos. You can tell how much Sansa loves them by the way her tail never stops wagging when she see them! The pictures of her playing with Tom were especially precious. We couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend them!

Hana took wonderful care of Tobie while I was away. She was flexible with our schedule and incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending photos so I always knew how he was doing. It was clear Tobie had a great time, and I could tell he felt comfortable and loved. Having someone I can trust with him makes being away so much easier. I've already booked Tobie's next stay with Hana, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any dog owner!

We had an excellent experience with Tiffany and Steve! They were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, attentive, transparent, and incredibly communicative. I was a little nervous leaving my Pumi, Hugo for a two-week stay so it was heartwarming and reassuring to see Hugo enjoying his daily walks, spending time with the other pups, and looking happy and comfortable in their care. Definitely appreciated the daily photo updates and feedback regarding his feeding, which gave such peace of mind. It meant so much knowing my Hugo was in such caring and capable hands. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend Tiffany and Steve to anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitters. I will absolutely be booking with them again!
