“Lillian is the BEST. So sweet and our dog Beans immediately warmed up to her. She was very responsive, gave plenty of updates, and was able to accommodate us really last minute. Felt so relaxed leaving our pup with her and would definitely hire her again”

“Devon house sat and took care of our dog Riley for ten days. He was very responsible and gave Riley lots of attention and followed his routine. He sent updates and pictures every day and we could see Riley was happy and having fun. The house was in good condition when we got home. We will definitely work with Devon in the future and recommend him highly.”

“Miliana accommodated our very last minute sit due to our previous sitter cancelling for an emergency. We are super grateful and she took excellent care of our cat and dog, including paying close attention to our very specific instructions and sending many photo updates during the weekend. We highly recommend her!”

“Olha was so sweet! she was proactive and thorough with her updates. She stayed at my home and took great care of the house. I have a cat with health needs and felt completely at ease with her giving him the insulin injections, checking his blood sugar and giving him his inhaler. Will book again!”

“Lauren was great with Finley! She checked in on him three times a day and always sent pictures and updates. She took him on plenty of walks, played with him, and made sure he got lots of attention while I was away. She was super reliable and easy to communicate with. Will definitely use her again!”

“Our Cooper has anxiety issues and Koralis was wonderful with him. Cooper was happy to see us when we got home and he was relatively calm. Having her there allowed us to enjoy our time away. Would highly recommend Koralis.”

“Belen was amazing! We received multiple updates each day we were gone with lots of pictures and videos too. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a reliable and communicative sitter!”

“Ruthie was great. Easy to communicate with, was respectful of our pets and things, and had to deal with a surprise hormonal issue with our pup. Would book again!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up in Newburyport caring for and walking my own dogs, while also regularly walking dogs throughout my neighborhood. In college, I took my love for dogs to a professional level and worked at a dog daycare for two years, where I cared for and walked up to 50 dogs in a day. That experience taught me how to handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities, from playful pups who want to run and explore to dogs who prefer a slower, more relaxed stroll. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, reading their body language, and making sure every pup gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some extra exercise, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they have a safe, happy, and fun time! I work from home multiple days a week so I have good flexibility! Typically my remote days are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so I am able to get out and care for your pets on these days. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication, and plenty of companionship. I have two years of dog daycare experience caring for up to 50 dogs, plus years of personal experience with dogs, walks, feeding, and playtime.
“Anna was excellent with our two very different dogs. She was able to comfort our more anxious dog and get him to eat, and she was able to calm our more energetic dog! Would definitely recommend and will rebook”

“Anna was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our cat Fry during the day while he was recovering from surgery, and she made a stressful time feel so much easier and worry-free. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, was always punctual and reliable, and took such great care of Fry. She kept him and his crate clean when he was struggling with the litter box, gave him lots of love and cuddles, and kept us updated throughout the day. We felt completely at ease knowing Fry was in such caring hands. We would absolutely book Anna again and highly recommend her!!”


About: I have cared for my families, three large dogs, my whole life. We also fostered litters of puppies! I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes :)with experience pet sitting overnight for both cats and dogs over the past 10 years. I am excited to meet your pets at any ages, needs, energy levels vibes and happy to provide the care you think is best! I currently work full-time 8 to 4 and I’m available outside of those hours. I’m in early riser and happy to take pets on morning walks or runs! My workday and pretty early and so I’m able to come check on your pet. I work hybrid, and so I have some flexibility as needed:) I am comfortable, caring for your pet and all home types and attentive to instructions about your home and the safety of you pet! I do not offer services in my home.

“Hannah was an excellent house sitter. Communicated extremely well, send pictures, and followed through on all care instructions for our elderly dog. Was also extremely respectful of our home and would absolutely book again”

“So grateful I reached out to Juliana for some last minute care for Max. She was awesome from the first moment, noticing things right away and understanding his needs; everything you’d want to be put at ease while you are away. She is a complete natural; Max was happy and calm when I returned. Thank you, Juliana!”

About: My family has had dogs since I was a kid, I grew up with a Dalmatian, Black Lab, and Golden Retriever. I have also dog sat for neighbors, friends, and others since I was 14 years old. I absolutely love hiking and spending time with animals so this is less of a job and more of a fun way to spend time! I work from 10-6 Monday-Friday but have an hour break. I can be there in the mornings, on my break, and during the night to care for the pets. I will care for your pet and your home as if it my own. I am very respectful of others spaces and animals. I am happy to help out with any needs and I will do so in a way that best suits what each client needs/wants.
About: While I've been taking care of dogs since my family adopted two of our own (10+ years), I really began taking an active caregiving role in the past 8 years. From feeding my neighbors dogs, to house sitting multiple dogs at one time in the city and suburbs, to fostering dogs, there is little I won't do to spend time with your pups! While in college, I became a certified dog walker by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), walking dogs at the Brandywine Animal Shelter. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have also been riding horses since 2010 and as a result, feel very comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. Working with animals for so long, I know how hard it can be to gain the needed trust for a successful petsitting experience, for both the sitter and the animal. I believe I execute the patience, understanding, and compassion needed to connect with new animals and make them feel at home while in the hands of a petgiver. While I am currently working full time, I have a very flexible hybrid schedule. I can be available mornings (before 8), mid day (12-1) and/or evenings (after 5) for walks several days of the week, as well as on weekend (walks and overnights). I place very high importance on exercise and attention! Ensuring that your dog gets sufficient outside time to run and play is critical for not only their health, but for their happiness! While with your dog, they will be the center of attention, receiving the same love and cuddles that I give my own. I can easily crate a dog, give medicine, feed, on and off leash walks, care for multiple together, the list goes on. Lastly, I try my best to stimulate a similar environment as the one your dog is used to to make them feel as safe and comfortable with a new sitter as possible.
“Andrew was an incredible rover- very responsive, responsible and treated our dog with genuine care. We are so grateful for him watching our dog and would highly recommend him to any pet parent!”

“Audrey was wonderful with our dog, Roux. We had never left her with anyone besides family before, and were a little nervous. Audrey made sure she was comfortable, and felt safe and loved while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures whenever we needed them, because we missed her since we had never been away from her for so long before. We came home to a very happy dog! We would highly recommend Audrey.”

Ray was fantastic with our large golden retriever, Franklin. We were left in a tough spot for a sitter a few days before our vacation and Ray was more than accommodating. Franklin stayed at his beautiful home and they went on multiple walks a day; he even took him to watch a parade! Franklin was very happy and very tired when we returned home. I think he misses Ray!

Lauren was perfect to look after my dog. She made sure she understood the complicated medications schedule and extra care my dog needs. Lauren also made sure he was comfortable and happy while we were gone which is so important to us! We came home to a happy pup and a super clean house.

Maya was an excellent dog sitter for Clancy! It was clear that Maya wanted to ensure Clancy was comfortable and made sure to follow his routine. She asked plenty of questions to get to understand Clancy’s needs, what he enjoyed to do, and how best for him to interact with other dogs/people. She also provided regular updates to let me know Clancy was having a great day with lots of plays, walks and naps. Clancy and I would highly recommend Maya for anyone who is looking for a sitter.

Juliana was a wonderful companion to my fifteen-year old lab for an over two-week stay while I was out of the country. She capably grasped Piper's needs and provided the caring attention (if not vigorous exercise) required to make Piper feel at ease during my absence. Daily texts and photos kept me in the loop on all doggie doings. She was a highly responsible house guest as well. Cannot overstate how grateful I am for Juliana, her conscientiousness and warmth!

Having Brook watch my dogs was such a relief! She took great care of them while I was away. She was great at communicating, giving updates, playing with them, and taking them on walks. The dogs seemed very happy to hang out with her! Would recommend Brook to anyone in the Boston area looking for a dog sitter!

Macklyne was a wonderful sitter! She was very considerate, gentle, and patient with Cooper, who is a shy dog. She followed all the instructions I provided, took him on multiple walks, made sure he had plenty of playtime, and sent frequent updates, which I really appreciated. She also left my house absolutely impeccable! By the end of her stay, Cooper had really warmed up to her, which says a lot. She is someone I would absolutely trust to care for Cooper again, and I look forward to having her sit for him in the future. I’m very happy with her service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and responsible sitter!

Piper was an amazing sitter for our 2 cats and dog while we were out of town. She checked in often, was very knowledgeable, and was super responsive. Our dog has been licking one spot a bunch and Piper checked to make sure it wasn’t an hot spot and that it wasn’t anything to worry about. All the pets were very happy and clearly well taken care of when we came home! I would definitely recommend Piper, she was incredible!

Belen did such a great job house sitting our dog and two cats while we were getting married this weekend! She was so communicative, send tons of pics, and delt so well with a spat between one of our cats and our dog. We would love to have her back to sit anytime!
