About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14, starting by watching my neighbors’ pets when they went on vacation. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for many other dogs in my neighborhood, as well as the dogs of my professors at UMass. I also have experience using clicker training. I’ve always dreamed of having dogs of my own, but frequent moves over the years have made that tough. From going to college and then moving to Boston. Getting to spend time caring for your dogs would truly mean a lot to me and would let me enjoy some quality time with furry friends while making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, so I can make myself available most times during any day of the week. I don’t have any vacations planned and am available for the foreseeable future. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to following your care instructions closely so your pets feel safe and comfortable at home. I always make sure all expectations are met and that your pets receive the care they deserve.

“Grace was very receptive to our requests and was a good companion for our puppy during a 1 hour drop in visit. She is also flexible about scheduling. We will be booking again.”

“Sydney was so great! She fit us in to a busy holiday weekend last minute and was very communicative about our two cats--she even cleaned up some vomit (yuck!) and tracked our nervous cats to their hiding places to get pictures for us. Would def recommend!”

“Julia took great care of our cat! She is communicative, reliable, understood/followed all care instructions, and clearly an animal lover. We knew our cat was in good hands. Highly recommend Julia for your animal sitting!”

About: Hi! I’m Allison, and I’m a rising junior at Cornell University studying Animal Science on the Pre-Veterinary track. My experience includes volunteering at a therapeutic riding center, working with farm animals, and spending time at a Fear Free certified veterinary practice. Through those experiences, I’ve learned how to read animal body language and help pets feel more comfortable in unfamiliar situations. I have a dog of my own, Percy, so I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet with someone else. I enjoy getting to know each pet and figuring out what helps them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure you receive updates while you’re away! I’m home from university for the summer, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule! I’m available most days and can work around your pet’s routine, whether that means walks or drop in visits. I’ll be in the area through mid-August and can usually accommodate weekday and weekend requests. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. Through my experience in animal care and at a Fear Free certified veterinary practice, I’ve learned how to read body language and recognize when a pet may be feeling stressed or uncomfortable. I always follow instructions closely and take the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable in my care. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and the genuine love and care I bring to every pet I watch. I have been dog sitting for years and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand the responsibility and attention that goes into caring for pets. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and reliable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I am attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether that means lots of playtime and exercise, sticking to a specific routine, or providing extra patience and affection. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and caring, and I always strive to give both pets and their owners peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have two dogs of my own who I care for every day. I also work a remote internship, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. This means I can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship for the pets I care for. Because I'm already used to building my day around caring for dogs, pet sitting is something I truly enjoy and can easily incorporate into my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I always focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their specific needs, preferences, and routines. If I am caring for a pet in a client's home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help their pet feel comfortable in a familiar environment. As a pet owner myself, I know how important communication is, so I am happy to provide updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved, just like they would with their own family.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13. I grew up with a King Charles cavalier who I love dearly . My friends , neighbors, and family have trusted me with their pets 🫶🏼 from dog walking, house check-ins, and over night stays I am currently looking for new work so I’ll have tons of time to give your fur babies during the day! There will be tons of time for walks and belly rubs Pets are always around me when I care for them to make sure they’re safe. My apartment is clean and tidy. They receive tons of play time, walks, and cuddles :)

“Sarah is amazing! We've booked her twice and both times have come home to a happy and healthy kitty. Our cat absolutely loves her, and we feel so secure knowing she is taking care of him while we are away.”

About: I've have grown up surrounded by animals (2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 brothers!). I have experience in short and long term dog & cat sitting. My most interesting sitting experience was watching 5 cats at once (the more the merrier)! I also have experience taking care of small animals including hamsters and guinea pigs. With my family, I have helped to foster and find the forever homes for 2 dogs, 1 adult cat, and 2 kittens! I have experience and am comfortable working with shy and nervous animals. I am a student at Boston College living in Newton for the summer. I am currently taking classes and am a research intern which take up roughly 2-4 hours a day. I also work in downtown Boston on Monday's and Wednesday's between 9am-5pm. While I do not have a car, I am well versed in Boston public transportation. I am a very active person and would be happy to take your pups walking, running, and on hiking adventures! For services in my home: I currently live with 1 roommate and do not have any pets. I am comfortable with short-term boarding (no longer than 4 weeks) for dogs and cats. I have an unfenced backyard but have close access to a fenced in dog-park. My apartment is on the second floor - a concern for older dogs who might have trouble with stairs. For services in client homes: I am able to stay in client homes & I am clean and quiet! I am happy to complete cleaning services or other house-sitting tasks along with caring for your dogs, cats, or small animals. I am also comfortable visiting client homes periodically, including multiple times a day if needed.

“I highly recommend Colleen and plan on calling her again.”
