“Angela was an awesome sitter for Remy and took great care of him over two days. She was flexible with my schedule and communicated throughout the day with updates and pictures. Remy got excited when we pulled up to her house on the second day. He knew he was in for a fun day! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Cooper can be a lot of energy to handle sometimes, but Sophie did great with giving him long walks and allowing him some time to decompress and get used to her apartment so he could chill out for the rest of his stay. Very understanding and communicated well throughout the day.”

“Jia truly helped me out with my brand new rescue pup. She was very responsive and communicative. Also extremely patient as my pup is still learning to potty train. Would trust her again.”

“Zoe was super nice, communicative, and flexible with pick-up/drop-off times. She also gave us a nice detailed write-up of our pup’s stay. We’d love to use her again!”

“Nicholas took great care of my puppy. They went on lots of adventures. He kept me informed about any mishaps. Penny is still a baby and is training. Nicholas was very understanding and patient. I trust that my pup was in good care and would recommend watching my pup again.”

“Catalina was so great with Beau, very communicative and so kind! Beau took to her immediately and she handled his separation anxiety and leash reactivity so well. Highly recommend!”

“Emma was great with our 12 year old cockapoo. She was communicative, on time, and sent lots of pictures. Quincy loved his time with her and we'll be using her again!”
“Madison took great care of my anxious dog for doggy day care! She was easy to communicate with, attentive to my dog's needs, and gave a detailed summary of the day in the rover card. Would highly recommend her as a sitter!”


“Kim is a great sitter! She was prompt and attentive and my dog stops at her house when we walk by in the morning - definitely an endorsement by him as well.”


“Caitlin did an excellent job caring for my anxious dog. She kept me updated with photos and about the day’s activities. Her communication throughout the process was professional and responsive. I am definitely having Caitlin watch my girl again!”


“Jim was super accommodating for my last minute request. He and his sons were so sweet with Mowgli, and even made him a little fort. His location is extremely close to South Station and easy to get to”

About: I am currently between pets of my own (and still a little too heartbroken to get one), so I'd love the opportunity to be an "auntie" for your dog when you need a sitter! My house is currently pet free, so if your pup needs (or just likes) special care, I am able to give them my attention without the stress of meeting other animals. I grew up on a farm with all sorts of animals - and ALWAYS dogs. Over the years I've had a lot of useful experience - puppies, elderly dogs, reactivity, shyness, giving medications (easy & hard kinds), body language, escape artists, anxiety, treating small boo-boos, and knowing when its time to go to the vet. I've also had a doodle, so I am a PRO at brushing (and actually really enjoy it) ;) I'm happy to answer any questions, and open to discussing your pet's specific needs to make sure I am a good fit for their care while you're away. I'd love to take care of your fur-baby! I usually work in an office, but am not required to... I just like seeing other humans ;) I can work from home full-time, any time, so if your pet needs a full service emotional support human, I can offer that. My place is pet friendly and dog proofed. If you have a puppy, I might need to puppy-proof a bit further, but am happy to. I don't have a huge place (this is Boston), but I like walks, and live across the street from a pocket park and very close to the common.
“Adela is amazing!! She took the best care of my 3 month old Havapoo for 2 days in a row - lots of walks and playing! She sent me tons of updates and pictures, which I so appreciate having a new puppy. I will be using her again and I know that will make my pup Henry so happy :)”

About: I’ve grown up with a dog since I was 2 years old and have helped take care of both puppies and older dogs, so I understand the importance of caring for dogs of all needs and what goes into making sure they are taken care of. I work from home four days a week, so I have ample time to play, take walks, and make sure your dog is taken care of. I feed the dogs according to owner’s instructions, play with the dogs, take them on walks and to the bathroom frequently, and keep an eye on them throughout the day or night. I make sure the home is clean and anything not meant for dogs is out of the way.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was born and have always had a big dog in the home. I love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages; no judgement from me! My big dog is reactive to other dogs so I am comfortable around similar types. I’m an active, 25 year old remote worker looking for some opportunities to get outside and play with animals. I have my own transportation and am willing to travel/transport! I am very flexible since I work from home so can block off any time needed for walks or quick in home visits as long as I have time to prepare I’m comfortable around shy/anxious dogs because I have a reactive dog myself. I’m very responsible and strong so even the hardest puller won’t get me off my feet! I also love long walks and would love to tucker out energetic doggies.
