“Jean and Tom L. House sitting - August 15, 2025 Five Stars. Lauren was outstanding. She took exceptional care of Our Bischone, Rosie. It was the first time we had a non-family member watch our dog. Rosie is very skittish and anxious around people she does not know. However, Lauren took great care to set Rosie at ease. We highly recommend Lauren and are planning to book her again.”
“Arshneel was so great with Rhubarb! She sent updates with photos and videos (which we love!) and was communicative about Rhubarb. We asked ahead of time the best way to care for Rhubarb given the heat wave which we really appreciated. We came home to a very clean apartment and happy dog, and would definitely book with her again!”
“Eryn did an amazing job with my Cooper who is a nut job! He has a lot of anxiety and it was the first time I left him alone with a stranger, but she accommodated all of his special needs and sent lots of updates.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I have a newly adopted anxious rescue so I was super stressed about it, but Alice took great care of my dog and sent many updates. Alice was patient and understanding with my dog and gave her the space to warm up.”
“Alicia was absolutely amazing with our pup! She was super communicative, on time, and sent so many pictures and detailed updates multiple times a day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We haven’t left our dog with someone new in a long time, so we were naturally a little nervous, but we felt completely secure knowing our pup was in her care. It made such a difference to see how happy and well cared for our dog was. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jamie did such a great job watching my 11 week old dachshund puppy, Eloise! She offered to meet my pup ahead of watching her for a meet and greet which helped immensely the day she came to watch her. Also, my pup has a lot of detailed needs and Jamie followed through on all of them (crate training, frequent potty times, play time, feeding, you name it)! She is a star-sitter!! I will be booking her again and 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.”
“Andrew is an amazing dog sitter! He stayed at our home for two weeks while we were on vacation and looked after our 2 dogs. He was amazing, he texted us daily updates with pictures and even found a fenced area to play fetch with my mini aussie as he is high energy. Followed the care instructions for my yorkie who just had surgery. He definitely went above and beyond and I 100% recommend him!”
“Maisel was so great with our dogs, Tavish & Ellie. She took great care of them and they were happy as ever when we returned. She also took meticulous care of our home which she stayed in while we were gone. We’ll definitely book her again next time the need arises!”
“Volkan took great care of our anxious senior pup. He shared updates and photos that put us at ease while we were away. And he left our house cleaner than it was when he arrived!”
“Miliana was a fantastic pet sitter for our Mala. She was instantly comfortable with our puppy and made a quick connection. She was excellent with communication through the night and with pictures. Hired her again on the spot!”
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.
“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.”
“We've been using Melissa for dog walking and just had our first overnight sit with her. She is responsive and communicative throughout the process. She takes great care of my dogs. On her first walk, one of my puppies had explosive diarrhea in his crate, and she stay for at least 30 minutes cleaning him and the crate up. She left out house sit with the house in clean condition. I'm very glad to have found someone reliable to watch/walk our two babies!”
“Alyssa watched our young husky for the day while we were at work and did a great job! She kept us updated, kept him occupied, took him out often since he’s still potty training, and gave him a nice long walk. It was incredibly reassuring knowing he was being well cared for”
“Grace and Andrew were amazing! My wife and I had to leave town on short notice, with fluid travel dates and Grace and Andrew were extremely accommodating and communicative during a very stressful time in our life. Our pets and our home were obviously well cared for. Highly recommended!”
“My girls had a great time hanging out with Jennie. Knowing they were well taken care made my travel mush less stressful. I will definitely be reaching out to Jennie for any future house sitting needs!”

Masi took great care of Chewie at our apartment while we were gone for a weekend. She was very communicative and sent us lots of photos. Chewie is older with some health problems, and we felt like she was in great hands. As a bonus, Masi left our place very clean. She clearly loves dogs and we will happily book with her again!
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.
Kimberly took phenomenal care of Kyrie once again. She was super punctual and detailed with daily updates and photos, worked some absolute wizardry on deshedding Kyr's undercoat, and truly left the house in better shape than it's ever been with me. Both Kyrie and I look forward to having her back again!
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.
Kate was a great sitter who took care of my senior (19) kitty with special needs requiring daily medication and lots of attention, as well as my four backyard chickens! She left the house clean and even washed the sheets she slept on. She was very responsive and communicative with me throughout the whole four day house sitting visit. I would recommend her as your next sitter.
