“We couldn’t have asked for a better first-time experience with a house sitter! From start to finish, Natalie was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and proactive. She kept us updated throughout our trip with sweet notes and photos which brought us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter and when we returned home, everything was spotless. It was clear Emmy was well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone so dependable and kind. Highly recommend without hesitation!”


“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets of all energy levels and ages for over 10 years, ranging from energetic puppies to anxious seniors. I’ve had my own dogs for 15 years, and I love spending time with all pets whenever I get the chance! I’m also happy to care for cats and/or exotic pets. If you're looking for an attentive, reliable, and gentle pet sitter, I'm your person! My current availability is flexible for the summer months. I work as a French teacher during the school year in VT, but I will be in the Boston area from June 30 to July 17, and from July 27 to August 9. I’m not able to keep animals in my own home, but I am more than happy to stay in your home overnight to keep your pets comfortable.

“Andrew stayed with my dog, Odie, for a week. He was responsive and consistent about checking in with pictures of Odie while I was gone. He also left my house spotless. I will definitely be using Andrew again!”


“Angie is the best ever!! Not only is she amazing with my puppy, but she also takes the best care of my space and I come home to a well taken care of pup and a spotless apartment! She also constantly keeps me updated throughout her stay which is amazing :)”


“Soli was awesome and we will absolutely be requesting her services again. She was kind/friendly, treated our home like her own, and most importantly she was great with our dog. I got regular updates from Soli that gave me peace of mind and confidence that Murray was in good hands. I highly recommend Soli for dog sitting!”


“Caleigh took great care of Odie! She came over in advance to do a meet & greet and then jumped right in. I got pictures and updates over the weekend and knew he was in good hands!”


“As always Paul did an awesome job with our energetic pup James Bond. He sent photos and full updates every day and even helped us out with a delivery of a household appliance while staying at our place. Really appreciate Paul’s professionalism & communication. Highly recommend!”

“Kayla was so amazing with Latke, our sweet cavapoo! Kayla stayed with her during our wedding and gave us so much peace of mind! Latke was happy, entertained, given so much love and attention, and loved her so much she didn’t want her to leave!! I will be hiring Kayla again in the future, and I am so excited to have found a doggy sitter that really makes the experience of being away so much easier!”


“Arshneel was outstanding! She took great care of Charlie and Yuba while keeping us informed the whole time.

Throughout my trip, I got meaningful (and funny!) updates on a regular basis, along with some amazing pictures of my little guy. Fully looking forward to working with Iain again.”


“Kelly did an awesome job dog sitting our pup. It was the first time we’ve left him since we got him and she made us feel at ease over the weekend when she was with him. She took Katsu to his favorite dog park and you could tell how happy and comfortable he was with her from all the photos she sent. We’ll definitely plan on booking with Kelly again next time we head out of town!”


“Hannah Was Amazing! Clover and Pickle were in such good hands! Hannah made sure to send us photos which when you’re away on vacation that’s a must when you’re missing your fur kids! Our pups love her which is the most important thing! We will absolutely be re-booking in the future with Hannah!”

About: With a lifelong love for animals and a diverse background in caregiving, I offer compassionate, reliable pet sitting tailored to each pet’s unique needs. As a personal care assistant for the disabled and a former traveling nanny, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing spirit to every job. I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was young — including administering medication to sick cats after being shown how — and have experience pet sitting both in my home and in others’. I’ve also raised a variety of animals including gerbils, hamsters, fish, hermit crabs, and dogs, and truly love them all. Whether it’s going on walks, playing with your cat, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I’m here to give them the best care possible while you’re away. I’m currently a college student and working a part-time internship this summer while living in Boston. I’m looking for a fulfilling and fun opportunity to spend more time with animals! I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking on the following days: • Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday: Available after 4:00 PM • Thursday & Friday: Fully available all day • Weekends: Open to requests depending on availability I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m highly organized and great at following detailed instructions — whether it’s a specific feeding routine, medication schedule, or preferred walking route. With experience as a personal care assistant and pet sitter for animals with medical needs, I’m confident and calm when giving medication or handling more sensitive care. I’m not easily flustered and take pride in doing things exactly the way you’d like them done. Whether your pet needs active time outdoors — I love walking and exercising with dogs — or a quiet, comforting presence to help them feel secure, I’m happy to provide both. I’m just as content going for long walks as I am curling up with a shy cat who needs company. No matter the situation, I treat every pet like family and ensure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Emilee L.
“Emilee has always taken wonderful care of my pup - have nothing but very positive things to say about her. My dog is very anxious but she warms up to Emilee quickly, which says a lot. I appreciate Emilee's gentle, nurturing personality - you can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them as they should be, like part of the family. She's been very accommodating to the needs of our furry creature. It's such a comfort to know that our pup will be very well cared for anytime we aren't able to bring her with us on an adventure.”
