“Olaf started out by going on walks with Steven 1x a week, and he loved it! We then started doing daycare 2x a week where he gets to hang out with other dogs, as well as Tiffany and Steven! He also does boarding and I always get tons of great pictures of him.”
“Tracy was amazing and my dog had the best day. He loves to sleep and snuggle and had a calm, restful day which is just what he needed. I take him to doggy daycare too and it wipes him out so it was amazing to find someone who works remotely who could give him 1:1 time, relax and play.”

“Thank you Edward and Shyana for taking care of our pup Clover! Communication was excellent and we appreciated time flexibility with only a few days notice.

About: I’ve taken care of and trained many puppies/dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 6 years old and am now a pup parent to my own 4 month old mini dachshund. I’ve had terriers, Rottweilers, goldens, Dalmatians, dachshunds etc. and know the kind of specific care and love needed for each breed. These babies have their own little souls and I’d love to help out any loving pet parents and reduce any stress or fear you may have when leaving them in the care of someone else. I’m super active on my phone and work from home so am available on demand and ready with pictures and updates for peace of mind. Looking forward to working together soon and meeting you furry family members! I work from home and have my own puppy so I’m available almost 24/7 for walks and potty time before, after, and during work hours and on weekends. I live in a high end apartment with lots of doggy amenities including many green spaces and fenced play areas for lots of potty breaks and long walks. I have my own small friendly pup who can keep yours company and tire them out as well as have crates and gates available, lots of toys, and ramps for the smaller dogs to save their backs!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my live since I was a kid and now I’m doing my PhD here at MIT and I miss my dogs a lot so I would love to take care of yours! I’m available early in the mornings and during the weekends. Some evenings as well. Flexible schedule if needed, happy to chat and listen what you need I have a pet friendly apartment and I’m happy to adjust the space for your pet! Let me know what’s needed, open to suggestions !
“Kim was the best dogsitter I’ve had. She was really flexible with when I could drop Moose off and pick him up, she was very comfortable around him and knowledgeable. She was also super patient with him as he was getting acclimated to her space and other dogs. Moose had a really great time and we’re excited to come back.”
“Jim was a super duper sitter! He was very responsive and was very accommodating to what we needed. A day prior we stopped by for a Meet & Greet to allow our pup to meet Jim for the first time. Then dropped off our 4 month old pup very early in the AM the next day while we went up North until late afternoon. Jim sent a few updates as well as a video throughout the sitting. Overall, very delighted with the experience and the attention he gave our pup, would definitely book Jim again in the future! Thanks!!”
“We were in the area from out of town and had a last moment need for a sitter. Rita stepped up and took excellent care of our two very large dogs. She kept us updated and was so kind.”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I regularly take care of friends' cats and dogs in the Boston area and am happy to meet some new fur friends. I work from home and am always around on the weekends, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I'm available for dog boarding, drop-in visits, walks, and more. Having a flexible schedule allows me to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment in Fort Point. I will gladly send you pictures and video updates of your fur kiddos when they are with me. And I will always spend extra time for snuggles!
“Meaghan is great! She is a very charming young woman who cares greatly about dogs and asks the right questions when meeting the pup! 10 out of 10 and would trust her with our pup again any time.”
About: I’m reliable, trustworthy, and ready to give your dog all the love they’ll be needing when you aren’t there! I’ll be sure to keep your furry friend safe, happy, and well taken care of :) I’m currently unemployed so I have a ton of free time! I just need a heads up in advance so that I can make sure I’m available :) I live in an apartment and do not currently have any pets of my own (although I do have a 4 year old Australian shepherd at my parents house). My apartment is very pet friendly and has tons of grassy areas and walking trails nearby!
About: I have experience taking care of our family dogs for over eight years, and I currently live with one as well! I’m really attentive to dogs and have a good idea about how they’re feeling. I am a servant when it comes to pets♡ 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. I have a seven year old dog at home, and the bowl will always be filled. Plenty of attention, pets, and play time will be given!

Gillian R.
“I cannot recommend Gillian enough! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals. She was incredibly attentive to my dog's needs, followed all care instructions perfectly, and even sent regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My pup, who’s usually shy around new people, warmed up to her instantly—Gillian has that calm, kind energy animals just seem to trust. She went above and beyond, taking extra time for walks, giving cuddles, and making sure everything at home was just as I left it. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is not only safe but genuinely happy and cared for. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and responsible, Gillian is the one!”
