“Stephanie is so amazing! She took care of my two small dogs while I was away for a week, taking care of my older dog who has multiple health issues with such love and attention. They were starting to see her go.”


“Eric has been sitting my 3 y/o rescue Beagle, Walter, for a few months now, to help with his separation anxiety. Eric is great -- not only is he understanding and knowledgeable of Walter's special needs, such as his fear of men and new situations, among other things, he's made some very helpful suggestions that have helped with Walter's anxiety. He is trustworthy, kind and reliable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone; you can rest easy knowing your pets are under Eric's care.”


“Julia was simply amazing! She took care of our dog as if it were her own. She stayed with her the entire 3 days we were gone! Cleaned up the house, washed the sheets and made the bed!! Truly an amazing person and I'd recommend her for any length of time to care for your pet worry free! Thank you Julia! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”


“Nikki quickly bonded with our 4-year rescue pup and gave him great care. She followed my instructions, made sure Milo got plenty of walks and exercise, and sent regular updates and photos of our sweet boy. She was also responsive and accommodating when we needed to adjust our travel plans due to unforeseen circumstances. We will definitely call on Nikki again for dog care in our home!”


“Philip watched my cat while we were away. He arrived on time and communicated effectively. He followed all the instructions thoroughly and made us feel like our cat was in safe hands.”


“Guillermo took great care of Huck and our home! He sent photos and updates daily and I was able to enjoy our vacation knowing that my fur baby was in good hands. He left our house neat as a pin, and even gave Huck a good brushing and bath!”


“Alyssa was easy to work with the entire time we were away. She kept us updated. Got home to her leaving the light on for us and a little picture she took of our dog. Very appreciative of Alyssa!”


“Sarah was amazing! She did a fantastic job taking care of our multiple cat and dog crew for overnights, one pup is a very senior pup as well and tricky to get to eat and take some supplements. She went above and beyond caring for the house, keeping us updated, sending pictures, and we came home to everything in order. She really put us at ease out of the gate. Will 100% book her again! Really I can’t say enough good things.”


“Nicole took such great care of all three of our furry men and our home! She provided prompt communication, pictures, and went the extra mile like brining in our trash cans, etc. at the house. Thank you Nicole!”


“Delilah and Vincent did a fantastic job of house sitting and spending quality time with my old lady Harlee. I received multiple updates every day while I was gone, including pictures. And my apartment was in perfect condition when I returned home. Highly recommended and I will definitely rebook them again when needed!”


About: I have been taking care of pets for friends and family for the last 5 years and it’s always been a welcome opportunity as I was never allowed to have pets growing up. I love nature so long dog walks are never boring. I also have experience petsitting so I’ll make sure your pet is never lonely. I am able to stay with your pet all day and on weekends as well. The longest I would be out is 4 hours, but that would be very intermittent. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and I want the pet to be as comfortable as possible. If the pet makes a mess I will be sure to clean it as soon as possible and the return the place to how it looked before if not cleaner.

“Melanie is an extremely caring, conscientious, and experienced pet caregiver. My entire family of pets from my under two year-old pup to my elderly cat were well cared for.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off for a couple years now, I’ve had dogs of varying ages and sizes and support needs as a part of my household throughout my life. My family volunteers with Big Wave Dog Rescue together and I work part time at Canine Odyssey as a dog daycare attendant. I’m currently working part time and caring for my mother, but since I work mostly evenings only 4-6 hour shifts, pet sitting and overnight stays are perfect for me. I have a big yard with three pups, a 3 year old pitbull mix, a 2 year old pittie chihuahua mix, and a one year old Shih Tzu. All of them are rescues, and the older one has some trauma from before he was rescued and requires special care. I feed them rehydrated kibble and try to get raw/natural toppers where I can, even if it’s just a quail egg. I exercise with them daily, even if it’s just a run through the yard.

About: Hi there! I am a college student eager to meet your fur-babies since I miss mine at home! I have had many pets such as dogs, cats, horses, and small animals! I can administer medication to your pets, as my own cat became disabled a couple years ago. I cannot wait to be the extended family of your fur-babies! For this summer session, I have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00-5:20pm and remote class on Mondays and Wednesday from 1:30-5:20. This will end August 13th and my schedule will be completely open! At my home, I have a fenced yard for my dogs and cats to go outside. I play with them outside and inside the house, making sure they get their zoomiez out (since it's fun to watch and fun for them).

“Emma was a great dog sitter. She was both communicative and diligent in sending updates. The dogs were happy and well taken care of when we got back. Emma was also very flexible and understanding about logistical challenges that came up with travel and willing to accommodate where she could. I would definitely rebook Emma again for our next trip.”


About: Not only do I love animals (no matter the type), I have never lived a day without one! I have owned cats, dogs, reptiles, even guinea pigs. Not only do I have experience living with animals, I have dog and cat sit for eight years for a big dog along with living with a small dog and cat. Additionally, I worked for Mass Vet Referral Hospital for two years as a client care specialist, so I have experience dealing with animal emergencies and giving medicine to pets. My patience and love for animals will leave you feeling at peace while away from your babies! I work from home completely and am mobile as I have my own car. Therefore, I am very flexible throughout the day! This also allows me the flexibility of being able to stay at a house for longer periods of time if needed as I am still able to work from other homes. I understand that all pets have their own boundaries. As long as I am aware of any ahead of time, I am more than happy to give any of your babies the space they need to be stress free while still being given the care needed to get through the day. This also applies to those who need more attention than most and love attention!

About: I am genuine, caring, have a great deal of energy, and have never met a pet I do not fall in love with. References available Feed pets in the morning and again in the evening. Fill water bowl twice a day and take dogs for a walk 2-3 times per day I will care for the pet according to owner’’s requirements. Food options, walking regimens, and play time rituals. I will make it my mission to be just like the owner in your absence.

“We hired Jordan to take care of our 2 year old maltipoo. We have only left her once before with a pet sitter, and that experience did not go well. This being said, although we were anxious to try again, Jordan immediately put us at ease!

“Ava cared for my dog and cats while I was away for a few days. I was quite nervous about leaving my pets as I don’t travel often, but Ava did a wonderful job and allowed me to have a worry free trip. Ava sent many updates throughout the trip and was very responsive to my replies. Ava was always very transparent and honest about how the stay was going. I know my pets can be a handful with their feeding schedules and demands that their routines not be interrupted, which is why I was nervous about leaving them, but Ava did a great job respecting their schedules and needs. My dog and cats were all in great spirits when I returned.”

Whether it’s walking dogs, feeding pets, or just spending time with them to make sure they feel loved, she always goes above and beyond.
