Eryn took care of my 2 big dogs (Golden (7) and Samoyed(1)) for an extended stay of 10 days in my apartment. She was clearly great with the boys from our initial meet and greet visit, and I felt super comfortable having her stay in my home! She was very patient with me as a bit of a helicopter parent and sent me great pics and good reports on how things were going while I was away!

Lauren did a great job taking care of my two cats, including daily medical care (eye drops) for one of them. They are normally skittish around new people, but warmed up to her quickly

Jamie is an absolute lifesaver. She watches Maui most days while I’m at work, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my dog. She’s attentive, patient, and genuinely loves her, which shows in how happy and relaxed Maui is around her. She was even able to cut Mauis nails and brush her teeth which is literally a miracle considering Maui doesn’t allow anyone to do it (including me). Knowing Maui is cared for by someone so responsible and kind gives me total peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful to have her as both a roommate and someone Maui adores.

Andrew was phenomenal! I have two cats that require insulin twice a day and one of them is very skittish and difficult around strangers. I am always so stressed and scared to leave thinking the cat sitter won’t be able to gain his trust. But with Andrew, he was so patient and competent and confident, he had both of the cats used to his presence and relaxed and able to get their meds in no time at all. It made my whole vacation that I didn’t have to worry about them. I would hire him again and again and would recommend his services to anyone. He is communicative, friendly, and left my apartment tidy and nice. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 13. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and watch their pets. Animal lover of all, but experience with cats and dogs. I recently moved to Boston after spending time traveling internationally and am excited to spend more time with animals. While I work full-time in a remote role, my flexible schedule allows me to be available for lunchtime walks, drop-in visits, and weekend or overnight stays. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy getting outside for walks, staying active, and providing pets with companionship and attention throughout the day. I care for pets in their own homes by keeping their routine as consistent as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.

Volkan was fantastic with my very difficult somewhat feral cats. They require insulin shots and extreme patience and he was able to quickly gain the trust of one cat and slowly gain the trust of the other, just as expected/hoped. He followed all of my directions and was understanding and super friendly to work with. He left my apartment clean and tidy and my cats happy and comfortable. I would definitely hire him again!

About: I’ve taken care of various animals since I was young. Friends and family depended on me to feed, walk, and take care of their pets. I know the importance of pet care and how to have close and fun relationships with all animals, especially cats and dogs! I’m an animal lover at heart and grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and various farm animals. I am extremely patient with animals and making sure they are taken care of, nurtured, and treated well are my top priorities as well as having fun with them! Pet care fits into my daily routine very easily! I currently take care of two cats at home and have grown up around animals so I am comfortable around them ! I am fairly available and my schedule is the following: Monday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Tuesday : 9 am - 10/11 pm Wednesday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Thursday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Friday : 9 am - 10/11 pm Saturday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Sunday : 9 am - 10/11 pm I live in a very safe area where there are many parks and fields of land surrounding it making it a prime location to have animals. I have no problem walking great distances and being patient with animals especially dogs when it comes to bathroom time. I always have a great time with very lovable, friendly, and energetic dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them and making sure they are happy and having fun! I can always give them treats, play with them and encourage them to play with their toys, and stay with them for as long as needed! Moreover bonding with them is a process that is individual to every animal, it is not something I can rush and I will take the time to get to know every pet. If anything were to happen during my time with them I will always be available to connect with!

Alice was a blessing during my business trip. My doggy is a pandemic puppy, and I’ve had her for a long time. She is a sensitive adult dog, and this was her first time staying with someone new in a long while. Alice was incredibly patient—she took the time to build a bond, adapting to her delicate eating habits, and encouraging her to eat when she wasn’t interested. Alice kept me updated every step of the way—she played, walked, and understood what the doggy liked and disliked, even when I wasn’t there. She also gave me a detailed, handwritten letter, summarizing every aspect of her stay, which helped me understand the dog even better when I was away. She is also an amazing photographer! Thanks to her dedication, everything went smoothly, and I’m beyond grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend Alice to anyone needing a truly caring, reliable sitter.

Thanks so much for caring for the little guy! Your observation that his incontinence happened mostly when he was excited/just before a walk was very helpful to his vet. Appreciate you coming through and I was so happy when he saw you and started jumping around the lobby. Hope he wasn't too much trouble, and again, thanks for taking such good care of Pedrito!

Jamie is the best. He is very communicative, kind, caring, and professional. My dog had specific feeding requirements prescribed from the vet, and Jamie followed the program to a T. He sent pictures multiple times a day, and left the apartment in a better state than we left it. I feel very lucky to have a pet sitter like Jamie. He is top notch and I will definitely be booking him again in the future.

Katie was wonderful with Topanga! Even though our schedule changed and she didn’t get to spend as much time with her as originally planned, she was incredibly flexible, kind, and understanding. During the time they were together, Katie was genuinely caring and attentive. She was polite and professional with us, and most importantly, loving with Topanga. Our girl instantly gravitated toward her, which says a lot! We would absolutely recommend Katie and would be happy to have her care for Topanga again.
