This was our first time using Julia and we were gone for a week. She did a wonderful job taking care of our golden retriever and our home. She shared pictures, gave updates and even shared concerns when she noticed changes in our dog and worked collaboratively with us to problem solve. She went the extra mile and took care of our trash, ran the dishwasher, washed, dried and made the bed before our return, which was greatly appreciated because I hate laundry! lol. We wouldn't hesitate in having Julia come stay again in the future!

Nikki did a great job caring for my two Bostons! She was warm, friendly and detail oriented about the specifics of their needs. I got pictures and updates while I was away, which was great because I missed my boys! She also tidied up before she left, which was great to come home to. Nikki is reliable, dependable, loves dogs, and I would hire her back anytime!

First time using Avery and she was wonderful! She arrived at the agreed upon time, communicated well and sent daily pictures of Ranger and Daisy. She followed instructions for feeding and engaged well with our dogs for play. When we returned our dogs were happy and had obviously been well cared for. Avery stayed at our house since our dogs do best in their own home. She left the house spotless. We will definitely book with Avery again.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have over 5 years of experience caring for animals through friends, family, and clients, and I previously volunteered with a dog rescue organization. Through these experiences, I’ve worked with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, including administering oral medications and supporting basic training and reinforcement. I also have hands-on experience working with leash manners, redirection, basic commands, and reading canine body language. I currently work full time in pet care and maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate client needs whenever possible. I intentionally organize my availability to provide reliable, consistent care and clear communication for each client and pet. I’m happy to coordinate timing in advance and do my best to accommodate different scheduling needs whenever possible. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet’s routine and care needs. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific routines to ensure consistency and comfort while you’re away. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, proactive about maintaining a safe environment, and committed to keeping pets physically secure and emotionally at ease. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful care so you can feel completely confident leaving your pet in my hands.

OMG we went on vacation for three weeks and left our cat and our home in the care of Lilian, who was a rockstar. She took care of everything, followed all of our instructions and when we came home this time our cat was completely at ease. Usually when we return home from vacation, whether it's a week or longer and we have somebody stop in, we hear it from the cat for a good two weeks waking us up early in the morning rauling, but this time Bella just showed love and has been 100% normal. We would hire her again in our heartbeat. Best decision we ever made!

We recently went on vacation and entrusted our dog, Oakley, to Philip through Rover, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the start, Philip was professional, communicative, and truly cared for Oakley like he was his own. Philip followed all of our instructions carefully, from Oakley’s feeding schedule to his nightly routines. He ensured Oakley got plenty of walks, playtime, and snuggles, which put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear from the updates and photos he sent that Oakley was happy, relaxed, and in great hands. We also appreciated that Philip respected our home, leaving everything just as we left it. His reliability and genuine love for animals make him an excellent pet sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pet, we highly recommend Philip! Thank you again, Philip, for taking such wonderful care of Oakley!

So happy to have found Hannah! We have a very large irish wolfhound mix rescue dog who is very anxious. Hannah did a meet and great before our initial booking and she was terrific with him. Was very patient and calm and just let him drive the meeting. While we were away, she was very communicative and provided lots of pictures which made us feel very comfortable that he was being well cared for. She did all that was asked and even had to handle meds for our pup. With her experience and comfort level I won’t hesitate calling on Hannah again to take care of our Charlie.

About: I grew up with black labs throughout my childhood and have recently adopted an orange tabby cat named Cheeto. I’m very comfortable taking care of both cats and dogs. I currently work remotely from South Boston which makes my schedule flexible for most hours during the week and weekends. I will have no problem making it to sitting appointments on time. I am very responsible and have taken care of my friends and family’s pets at their residence and have never misplaced a key and always leave their home as I found it.

About: I have had dogs since I was born. My current dog, Ollie, is 1 year old. One of my previous dogs, who has since passed, had diabetes and required insulin shots and went blind but I took care of her for years after her diagnosis before she passed from natural causes. I love dogs, they make the world a brighter place! I work 3 days a week (or nights) so I have four days off a week. It can change depending on my schedule or I can request certain days off to fit someone else’s schedule with enough notice. I live in a house with several parks in the immediate area to keep your dog occupied! I have a lot of patience when taking care of dogs/puppies.

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.

Avery was such an incredible pet-sitter. She stayed in my home with my senior cat and older dog for a week, and she updated me daily with tons of photos so I knew they were happy. She really went above and beyond with both of my pets, and on top of that my house was sparkling clean when I got home (with freshly cleaned sheets!!!). I was so nervous about having anyone stay in my home for such a long period of time, but Avery made this trip so much less stressful and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future.

Julia was amazing with our dog Archie. We haven't left him with someone for a couple of years. She is very professional, experienced, kind and knowledgable about dogs. Our dog got a hot spot a few days before our trip and had wear a sleeve on his leg to prevent licking. Julia handled it with confidence and ease. We can't wait to have her stay with Archie again!

Christy was once again a wonderful pet sitter. Knowing she was caring for my cat gave me complete peace of mind while I was traveling, and I was able to focus on what I needed to get done instead of worrying about my favorite cat on the planet. She is attentive, kind, responsive, and always reliable. Even during a snowstorm, I had no concerns about my cat or my home because I knew Christy would make sure he was safe and cared for. I am incredibly grateful for the care and consistency she provides every time.

We had a wonderful experience with Lisa house sitting and taking care of our senior dog and handful of cats. Our old lady dog had a stressful time without us and Lisa was so patient with her and kept us in the loop the whole time. It was so nice to come home to a house not covered in furr like we normally do, so thank you Lisa! Would highly recommend her and will absolutely use her in the future.

Kristina did a fabulous job helping us out in a pinch with our dog, cat, and surprise guest (cat #2). We got in contact with Kristina on short notice and she was amazingly accommodating. She confirmed and patiently waited for my arrival on a FaceTime meet and greet call. I would not have known she was new to the service as she asked great questions and came off as seasoned and skilled. She made us feel like we could trust her from the drop and day of kept us posted with updates and photos. Our dog took to her quickly and she is someone who we would highly recommend as well as use again!
