About: Hi, I’m Thomas! From playful pups to wise old seniors, I’ve had the joy of working with them all-and I treat each one like they’re part of my family. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle care, or time on the couch watching TV, I’m here to help. I understand that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and needs and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each one special. I currently work from home (aside from the occasional sales call or business trip) so I have plenty of time for walks on the Back Bay, bathroom breaks, and pets on the couch! I love having dogs around, and routinely watch my brother and sister-in-law’s Bernedoodle, Olive. I have no problem having your pup on my couch, and I’m also happy to hang at your home too!
“Al did a great job with Tucker and was available to take care of him on short notice, which I really appreciated. It looks like they had fun from the daily pictures and he seemed sad to leave!”
About: With over 400 hours of volunteer service at my local animal shelter, two years of hands-on internship experience at the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter, and countless hours spent pet sitting a wide variety of animals—from horses to hamsters—I have developed a deep understanding of animal care and behavior. My diverse background has taught me how to respond to the unique needs of each animal, whether it's providing comfort, administering care, or simply offering companionship. This combination of formal training, volunteer service, and real-world experience makes me a dedicated, responsible, and knowledgeable caretaker who will treat your pet like family. Taking care of animals is part of my everyday life. I start with my own pets—feeding, walking, and giving them some love. Then I head out for pet sitting and dog walking jobs. Every day’s a mix of walks, feedings, playtime, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make it a priority to meet every animal’s individual needs—whether that means administering specific veterinary care or simply offering comfort, play, and companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and health requirements. For some, that might involve giving medications on schedule, managing special diets, or monitoring for specific health concerns. For others, it could be making sure they get plenty of playtime, long walks, or just quiet snuggles on the couch. I always strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment, treating every pet as if they were my own.
“Sunny always responded to my messages quickly,sent me a lot of pictures, was on time for our meetings and, most importantly, took great care of my dog. I will definitely use her again!”
“Jerilee was an exceptional dog sitter. I contacted her just four days in advance to see if she was available from Wednesday through Sunday, and she was more than willing to help. I asked if we could meet beforehand to ensure she was comfortable with my dog, and she happily agreed. From the moment we met, I knew she was the perfect fit. Throughout the stay, she sent daily updates and photos—my dog looked so happy in every single one. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and will absolutely book with Jerilee again in the future.”
“I'm very glad to have left my dog to Meria when our family went on a trip. Meria is so nice and kindly. She treated our dog as her own. When our dog's old injury recurred and it started bleeding, Meria immediately went to buy first aid kit to stop the bleeding. She really loves animals and took good care of it. I'm very grateful and will come back again.”
“The most exceptional dog boarder I could have asked for! He is extremely communicative, sends pictures and videos of my pups! I’ll be going to him from now on for doggy daycare and boarding! Thank you so much for being amazing to my pups!!”
“Claire was amazing—I truly can’t recommend her enough! She asked a lot of thoughtful questions upfront, which gave me so much confidence in leaving my dog, Coda, with her. She sent tons of great photos of Coda having the best time, and I especially loved how well she got along with Claire’s dog, Gio. When both of my outbound/return flights were significantly delayed, Claire was incredibly flexible and understanding about adjusting our drop-off/pickup times. I’d absolutely love to book with her again!”
“Krista & Kelsey went above and beyond caring for our pup. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They spoiled her rotten in the best way possible, giving her a bath, taking her on plenty of walks, and showering her with nonstop love and attention. We also received tons of thoughtful pupdates that kept us completely at ease while we were away. It genuinely felt like we were leaving her in the best hands possible. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Lydia is the most amazing dog sitter I have ever had. She went way above and beyond in her care for Ruby. She has a pickup/dropoff service available that helped me out tremendously since I did not know the area. My dog absolutely loved her and was on her best behavior while in her care. She sent me tons of pictures every day that I was away. Ruby developed an ear infection while I was on vacation and she brought it up to me and together we set everything up and she took Ruby to the vet and gave her the care that she needed. I am so happy that Lydia was her caretaker for my vacation. There are not enough words to describe the amazing job she did. Thank you so much.”
“Jessica was amazing! Love getting pictures and videos of Dodger during my trip and was super communicative! Dodger will definitely be seeing her again in the future!”
“Kevin & Ash looked after my Mulligan as if he was their own. Fantastic communication, tons of pictures and video which I really appreciated. They loved on him so much that he didn’t wanna come home.LOL! ??”
