Miliana took great care of our cat while we were away. She has a reassuring presence and we were confident that their time together would go smoothly. I highly recommend Miliana and look forward to working with her in the future.

Will was awesome. Kept us up to date with how our cats were doing every day, cleaned up a mess he found, and sent awesome (usually hilarious) photos. We can tell from the photos how comfortable the cats were with him. Will was great and looking forward to booking him again in the future!

Acadia was so great with my rescue pup who can be very fearful of strangers! I needed a somewhat last minute drop in but had never left my dog with anyone since adopting him, so I was really worried about hiring someone without weeks of introductions beforehand, but Acadia listened to all my concerns and the fact that my dog was able to remain calm with her is a sign she's doing everything right for a nervous dog! She kept me updated throughout the entire visit and was mindful of his comfort levels the entire time! Will definitely rebook in the future!

Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my fur babies! I’d never left them alone for this long and it was so nice to get your updates and pics daily. I knew you’d be perfect when you came for the walk through and took notes, it shows great dedication and accountability. The fur babies loved having your visits, and not just because you were giving them food. ?

Pleased to be Rojan's first reviewer! Rojan stood out as someone who knew cats well, which can be tough to find on a dog-oriented service like Rover. By all indications, she took great care of my 19 year old cat while I was away. She's a great communicator, asked the right questions, and was patient with me when we realized how much was missing from the documentation I left her with. I look forward to her help with an upcoming vacation.

About: I have been a caretaker of dogs and cats my whole life with family pets, and have been a go to sitter for family and friends the last decade. I have experience with dogs of all ages and medical needs (administering medications, vet appointments etc.). I am happy to accommodate any animals needs and ensure to treat them just like their own family. I work in downtown Boston and live nearby so I am available in the evenings and weekends. I also work in a hybrid office, so I can be flexible during the days if needed! Depending on each dogs needs I am happy to mirror their routine as closely as possible with walks, trips to the dog park and feeding schedules. I am unable to accommodate boarding at this time but am willing to do in home sitting, walking and check ins based on what the pet owner feels is best!

Lindsay has cared for my mini goldendoodle since she was 4 months old! She's stayed at my house while away, walked her when I had work and is such a great dog person. Winnie is now a year and 3 months and goes wild whenever she see's Lindsay. I'm constantly getting photo updates to know she's loved and well-cared for. Thank you!

Michelle is great with pets. She is able to match the energy of my dog while also being patient with my cat. I have had her house sit for me and also do dog walking. She sends lots of pictures as updates when she watches my pets and texts me updates about their behavior. Michelle is a pleasure to be around and I would trust her to watch my pets again any day!

My husband and I left town for about 8 days and left our independent little cat in Daniela’s hands for an everyday drop in- best money we ever spent. Daniela came by a couple days prior to get the lay of the land and meet our cat, Dexter, and to our surprise he actually paid her attention. He’s a very independent cat but also very anxious when we leave town, but she came on time every day and tried playing and hanging out with him. I think he actually enjoyed their time together! Her updates were amazing and we loved seeing the pictures of Dex every morning. Next time we leave town, we’re definitely booking again ❤️

I am grateful for the outstanding care that Yu provided to my dog while I was away on a business trip. She treated my furry companion as if he were her own, going above and beyond in every aspect of his care. From feeding and walking him to showering him with love and affection. The regular photos and videos she shared with me kept me connected and reassured me that my dog was in excellent hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Yu as a trustworthy and dedicated pet caregiver to anyone in need.
