About: I started pet sitting when I was 14 and I've had such positive experiences with them! I dedicate myself in making sure these pets are well taken care of and have a companion while their owner is away. I am currently in school but I do have time for your pets. I also in engage in physical and social activities, but I can always manage my time easily whenever I am needed. I care for pets in my client's home by ensuring that they are healthy and doing great! I follow their required routines for feeding, exercise, etc. and to clean up after them. Overall, I like to provide them with a safe environment and provide them companionship.

About: I've lived with pets of all shapes and sizes my entire life. When I was a newborn, my family had 10+ pets at home, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles, and I haven't really known life without animals since! I love ALL animals, but I have the most experience in caring for dogs. I’ve had all kinds of breeds over the years, including Mini Australian Shepherds, Great Danes with special needs, Pit Bulls and all kinds of rescued mixed. We also fostered litters of puppies and senior pets growing up, so even though it has been a while, I have plenty of experience caring for animals of all age groups. Growing up with so many pets has given me lots of hands-on experience with everything pet-care, including walking, bathing, basic training, cleaning up some serious messes, and, of course, never ending cuddles. While I haven't had a lot of formal pet-care experience, caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I've also volunteered at animal shelters, where I've walked, cuddled, and cleaned up after many dogs and cats. I'm the kind of person that asks every owner I see in public if I can pet their dog, regardless of the company I'm in and the places I have to be. Even when they shouldn't be, animals are my main priority, and yours will be too! I have a very flexible schedule as a current Master's student. At the moment, I also work at a pet store in East Boston a few days a week. My shifts are only a few hours at a time, so the longest I would be gone from your pet is around 4 hours (unless there are special circumstances and in that case I will be very up front with you ahead of time!!). I'm also more than happy to spend time with your pets on the weekends :) If I'm pet sitting at your home, I'll do my best to spend as much time with your pet as possible throughout the day while balancing my classes, work, and other clients. I'll also make sure not to leave your pet alone for longer than necessary and will always do my best to be home before dark. I'll send plenty of puppy updates, pictures, and videos so you can see that your baby is happy and in good hands! I'm also very flexible and will do my best to keep your pet's normal routine and schedule as consistent as possible while you're away.

About: I have been taking care of friends pets since I was a kid. I even owned and took care of a cat of my own for a few years before going off to college. Nowadays I frequently watch my friends pets as they attend work events and go on vacations. As a remote worker in the IT industry I am able to provide quality time with the animals I watch and accomodate their feeding and bathrooms schedules I work fully remote in IT, this allows me to spend the day with the animal I am sitting. This way they have my constant presence and when I get breaks in work throughout the day I can give them play time, walks and cuddles. I am a working professional and am able to understand and follow directions. Pet sitting is a supplemental source of income for me, the real benefits for me are being able to spend time with animals and check out new neighborhoods. I am very respectful of others people houses and you can be sure to find everything the way you left them once you return.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs since high school and currently live with one right now! My goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. I work full time, so I’m mostly available on the weekends to dog sit and walk! On weekdays, I can be available for some walks in the evenings. There’s a dog park next to my apartment and many parks in the vicinity that are good for walks. Lots of pets, cuddles, and attention will be given to your pet. I also enjoy taking cute pictures of pets I sit as a little token:)

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I can remember! My childhood dog lived for 14 years, and I currently have 2 dogs, a 2 year old rescue and 6 month old golden doodle! Pet care is a crucial part of my daily routine! I adopted my dog during my sophomore year of college and he has definitely held me ACCOUNTABLE. He’s my reason to wake up early in the mornings and go on walks! He’s my absolute world. I supervise my dog basically 24/7 when I’m at home, I will make sure to take care of my client’s dog as if they were my own!

About: I grew up with German Shepherds and I have a puppy of my own right now so I’m super familiar with both ends of the spectrum . Walks go at your dog's pace, because if they want to stand at one bush for three minutes that's the best part of their day and I'm not going to rush it! I'm still paying attention the whole time though, watching for off leash dogs and keeping whatever's on the sidewalk out of their mouth. I'll stick to your routine and send you plenty of pictures 😊 I'm taking classes right now, so my schedule works around them, but there's plenty of room in it. I'm free most afternoons and evenings during the week, plus mornings on Thursdays and all weekend. In your home I follow whatever routine you already have, from feeding times to where they sleep to which spots are off limits. I'll text you updates and pictures so you always know how they're doing!

About: I grew up around dogs and nothing makes me happier than making pets feel loved and safe! I can't wait for the day I can adopt my own dog, but in the meantime, I have lots of free time to keep your pets company. I'm reliable and a quick communicator, and will do whatever you need to keep your pet in their routine, happy, and healthy. Currently in between roles, so I have lots of free time to take your dog on walks or stop by for a visit! Will always follow instructions to ensure healthy and happy pets. Safety and trust is my biggest priority, so I'll be sure to fully understand what your pets needs while you’re away. Love sending lots of pictures and updates!

About: Hi! I'm Keira, a Suffolk University student and lifelong dog lover. In high school, I went through and completed a 4-year veterinary program and loved every second of it! I offer reliable walking, feeding, and plenty of playtime. I’m all about sniff breaks, leash training reinforcement, and making sure your pet feels loved and energized. Can’t wait to meet your pup! Pet care fits great into my daily schedule as I have a very free schedule and I have time to give my best care to the pets. As I worked with many vets to receive my certification, I can give the best care necessary. I will always be on top of providing fresh water, taking the dogs for walks or letting them out for bathroom breaks, administering any necessary medications, grooming pets as needed (brushing, bathing, nail trimming), and spending quality time with them through play and companionship. As well as additional services like house sitting, training reinforcement, and transportation to veterinary appointments or grooming appointments.

Samhita was super, super sweet. Very gentle with Arrow and brought him on a good size walk. She was kind, considerate and was willing to take on the last minute appointment with an empathetic kindness. So happy to have had her met Arrow, and happy to have met her myself. I look forward to having her with Arrow again in the future.

Yun is absolutely fantastic! Our pup is a bit shy and takes a while to warm up to people. Yun has done an amazing job being patient with her and keeping us updated with cute photos! I honestly can’t say enough good things and feel extremely comfortable having her walk our dog (coming from someone who can be a bit of an anxious pet parent). She is very communicative and kind.

Kaitlin was absolutely incredible! She did such an amazing job taking care of Ladybug, and on short notice. Updates were timely, thorough, and it was clear that Kaitlin took great responsibility in watching over my dog. I couldn’t recommend Kaitlin as a sitter, or walker, enough. She will deliver exceptionally and I look forward to having her take care of Ladybug, again, in the future.
