“Madeleine took fantastic care of Charlie, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, she made it easy for me to trust her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing Charlie was in her care. She kept me updated throughout with messages and lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Charlie felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Madeleine is kind, reliable, and very trustworthy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog, and I would absolutely book with her again. Thank you so much, Madeleine!”

“Kora watched my dog for a week and a half and was very communicative and respectful of my home. I got lots of pictures and was not afraid to reach out to ask me questions if she was unsure about anything. I felt very comfortable having her watch my dog, even with this being a longer stay.”

“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and truly love working with animals. I have hands-on experience walking dogs at animal shelters and providing overnight dog sitting in clients’ homes. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have just completed grad school and my schedule is completely open! I have all the time for pet sitting while searching for a full time job. -Water/Food Refill -Personal attention and play time -Walks (on-leash) -Yard time (fenced in areas) -Overnight stays in clients homes (my apartment is not pet friendly)
“Jennie is a great dog sitter, 5 stars for sure! We were very happy with every aspect of her services: Jennie sent us updates throughout the day and took care of our dog as if he was her own. Jennie was staying in our apartment, so she took good care of the apartment too, we appreciated it too. We recommend her to others and would definitely use her services again.”


“Bethany took great care of my dogs and kept me up to date on what was going on with them. When one of my dogs got herself into some trouble, Bethany kept her cool and and had a sense of humor about it. Jasper and Zoe really seemed to like having her stay with them!”

“Arshneel was a dream! Dre clearly loved her and she took such great care of our home— even offering to water the plants when I had forgotten lol. Her updates were consistent and she always responded right away if we had a question. We will certainly be requesting her services in the future!”

“Lauren did a great job caring for my dogs and followed all instructions carefully. I was a little nervous since one of them is reactive, but she handled the situation really well. My apartment was left just as I left it, and I’d be happy to book with her again.”


“Our dog Penny adores Skylar! We got so many great updates of their cuddles and walks during our 2 weeks away. We already have plans to book Skylar again, and I know Penny will jump for joy when Skylar comes back to our house.”

About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter and would help walk the dogs (dogs of all ages) and also train them using the clicker method. I am currently starting school, so I am able to attend to pets after morning, afternoons and evenings. My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I can easily crate a dog, I can take the dogs for walk and feed them, I can spend time with dogs who have speration anxiety, etc.
“Jordan was amazing with Frankie!! She sent lots of updates and it’s clear Frankie had a really fun time with her. She went out of her way to meet him beforehand and was very responsive. We will absolutely have Jordan back- we trust her with him anytime!!”

“Stephanie was brilliant. She was so trustworthy and caring towards our 3 dogs. One is very sensitive and it was not an easy job. Our dogs were sleeping with her, even though I’d never have expected it. The dogs prefer it. She was so tolerant and diligent. She also communicated with me the entire time. She is fantastic and I give her the highest recommendation.”


About: Based in Beacon Hill, I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from cheeky puppies to sweet seniors. I grew up in a big dog loving family so I am comfortable with feeding routines, long walks, playtime, including running around with them to help burn off energy, and administering medication when needed. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while they are away from their owners. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and personality, since every animal is different in their own unique and wonderful way. My priority is making sure your pet is happy so you can enjoy your time without worrying. I am patient, reliable, and happy to send updates and photos upon request. I am also flexible, able to visit multiple times a day, and can accommodate last-minute requests. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care. I am currently a senior in college and work in a hybrid role that only requires me to be in the office once a week for a couple hours. Because of this, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. I am able to visit pets up to four times a day if needed, and my routine is not fixed, so I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Flexibility is one of my biggest strengths, and I take pride in being able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute requests. In your home, I follow all instructions carefully and treat the space with care. Pets are always leashed during walks and only unleashed once the door is securely closed. If there are multiple pets, I separate them during mealtime when appropriate to avoid any tension. Before I leave, I double-check that doors are locked, lights and appliances are turned off, and your home is left exactly as I found it. Your pets' safety and your peace of mind are always my top priority. On hot days, I make sure they are always hydrated, and am careful of asphalt. Plus, if there are any individual safety requirements, I can happily abide.

Natalia was absolutely wonderful with Rosie, I could tell from the moment she met Rosie that she’ll be in great hands. Natalia house sitted Rosie at my apartment while I was traveling and left the place clean and tidy. She was very communicative, sent regular updates (photos and video) and made sure Rosie gets her regular walks and exercises. I will definitely book her again and can highly recommend her. She was thoughtful, very caring for Rosie and a great communicator. Rosie already misses her :)

Ana was a great caretaker for Rex and Lily! She provided daily photo updates and helped them stick to their usual routine while we were gone for a long weekend. Lily immediately clung to her during our meet and greet which is often unusual given her anxious nature. She was very respectful of our space and left everything nice and clean. We would happily rebook her in the future.

Madeleine was absolutely wonderful with Astro and Jasper! I highly recommend her. We consider our doggies to be part of our family and wanted them to be well cared for while we attended a dinner. Madeleine responded promptly to my request, was very attentive to care instructions and was so willing to help us even with it being a Saturday night. She greeted our furry friends with a smile, took excellent them and sent us pictures throughout the night. If you need care for your dogs, do not search for a sitter. Contact Maddy immediately. She is the best!
Arik did an amazing job taking care of our high energy GSP while we were away. He made sure he was entertained, exercised, and loved, which made us feel so much better being away from our dog. Our house was in perfect condition when we got home. Thank you Arik!

Julia was great. We had a quick meet and greet to go over Cosmo's usual routine prior to the sitting and she was super flexible with timing which was a huge help as we had to make a slight adjustment. Cosmo seemed to enjoy his time with her and we would certainly have her watch the little guy again.

Jules was awesome!! Our dog Archie is high energy and Jules did a great job, he was a happy boy when we returned. Our apartment was left spotless — always nice to come home to. Jules was super responsive and we could rest easy knowing Archie was in good hands. Highly recommend working with Jules!

Ilse was absolutely wonderful sitting for my anxious dog while I was out of town. She handled my dog's reactivity well and gave her lots of care and attention. Ilse was communicative and flexible and I highly recommend their services. I will surely count on them to watch my dog again in the future!

Exceptional as always! Robbie took care of and spent great time with my sweet Atlas while I was out of the country for a week. Given the slight time difference, I explained when I would prefer to receive updates and Robbie took to that immediately--updates were given at the same time every day as expected and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling. When I returned home late that evening, I was surprised the next day to find Robbie had already pre-prepped Atlas' meal for the day for me which was so thoughtful and lovely. Thank you so so so so SO much again Robbie! You're amazing!

Willow was an incredibly thoughtful, diligent and proactive dogsitter for my little mutt Martini! She went out of her way to come meet us first before the home stay so that she could learn about Martini’s quirks, preferences, and ensure that Martini felt super comfortable with her which she did right away! While I was away, Willow shared a ton of great updates about Martini and was super communicative about how everything was going and making sure I was totally in the loop with everything which was so comforting since I was in another country for a trip. I can tell Martini absolutely loved Willow as she cried and whimpered when she left, but we hope to have her come back and watch Martini again sometime soon!!! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a super professional, compassionate, responsible and loving sitter for your fur babies!!!

Haowen was very communicative and sent at least 10 photos a day, the most photos I’ve ever had from any sitter! He was upfront and honest when our dog had a little vomit from running around after eating too soon, and managed his multiple medications as a senior dog.
