“Danielle is amazing! She’s super reliable, communicative, and always keeps us updated with plenty of photos. Theo is always so happy with her, and we come home to a very happy pup every time! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. We’ve had such a great experience with Danielle and will definitely continue using her. Highly recommend!”

“Marcus (listed as Devon on Rover) was a phenomenal sitter for my GSD Izzy. He was in constant communication with me and my family around her care, went out of his way to ensure she had three walks and plenty of play time each day and made sure her scheduled walks, medication, and feeding times remained structured for the 2.5 weeks I was traveling. Izzy is a very loving dog but does require a confident handler with advanced knowledge given her working dog temperament and Marcus adapted to her needs seamlessly. Would recommend and rebook without hesitation (in fact we already have) and was grateful to have him for our extended sit. It allowed me to travel with sustained peace of mind and I returned home to a VERY happy and pampered dog who seemed less excited by my return than she was disappointed by Marcus’ departure!”

“Tam really went above and beyond to care for my Sofie. I had an emergency and had to stay away for longer than expected, and she agreed to extended the booking and took great care of Sofie for me. She even took Sofie to the vet and groomer for me! She was in constant communication, sending updates, photos and overall keeping me in the loop about how things were going at home. I’m very happy I found Tam and grateful for the great work she did with Sofie. Thanks Tam! Hopefully we’ll see you again soon ❤️”

She was extremely responsive, sent daily photos and updates and had our house cleaner than when we left it. We could tell our pup was well cared for, got lots of walks, loves, snuggles and treats. We can’t recommend Meghan enough!”

“Maisel is a fantastic sitter. My pup Charlie has a lot of anxiety and I am always nervous leaving him with someone new. Every picture I got Charlie was smiling - Maisel was great at communicating with me and gave me peace of mind that Charlie was well taken care of. She was extremely respectful of my home and left it spotless. I am so grateful she was able to help and will definitely be asking her to dog sit again!”

Our dogs were sleeping with her, even though I’d never have expected it. The dogs prefer it. She was so tolerant and diligent. She also communicated with me the entire time. She is fantastic and I give her the highest recommendation.”

She was polite, always on time, and sent frequent pictures of our boys throughout our time away. Nathalie also took excellent care of our home; we look forward to having her back!”

About: I am a recent Simmons School of Library and Information Science graduate, work part time at a library the afternoons, and have been a part of the Somerville (Union Sq.) community since 2023. I've been walking dogs and caring for pets here and there since 2018, and regularly since summer 2025. My experience includes cats ages 1.5-16, dogs ages 10 months-15.5 years, and one rabbit, but open to watching other house pets with instructions. I am able to handle low-moderate difficulty dogs of all sizes, some reactivity ok. I have regular clients that I see for walks, in-house visits, and overnight stays. I am cat and dog first aid and CPR certified and for cats I am able to administer pills and inhalers (no injections). I love all animals, but have found that I am able to befriend most cats in particular. I am communicative with clients, and can send daily photos and pet reports upon request. I look forward to working with you and your pets! Outside of work and my current clients, I am typically available in the mornings 9:30-10:30 or earlier, evenings 5 or later MTW, 6:30 or later Thurs, and 3:30 or later on Fridays. I am able to travel about 30 min by walking or public transit from Union Sq. in the mornings, 30 min by walking or transit from Harvard Sq. or Union Sq. in the evenings, and will consider further locations on Friday afternoons and weekends (probably an hour from Union Sq. max.) I do not offer boarding in my home, but I have done multiple drop-in visits and overnight stays for cats, dogs, and a rabbit. I am tidy and respectful of the homes I visit, and am careful to leave doors locked when I am out. I am communicative and notify pet owners immediately if there are any issues or concerns.

“Anna took wonderful care of our puppy Semmie while we were away. She was clearly attentive and gentle with her. Semmie was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for the whole time. Anna also communicated really well throughout, and she even took the initiative to come by beforehand to meet Semmie and get to know her before the sit started, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s obvious Anna genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We felt completely at ease knowing Semmie was in such good hands, and we’ll definitely be booking Anna again for future pet sitting!”

Sydney was on time and responsive. We have a very new 5 month old puppy and just this weekend she had decided to start peeing inside and refusing to eat from her bowl. Sydney was incredible, handled the situation well, and got Artemis back on track

Kristina was absolutely amazing with our little man. This is one of the first times we have left him alone and she has been so accommodating and patient with him as he adjusted to our absence. She provided a ton of updates, hundreds of photos, and is probably now his new favorite person. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone and we couldnt have left him in more capable hands.

Caitlin was amazing with our animals! Our dog can be a little stand offish at first meet but she was able to handle this well and quickly made him feel comfortable. She was a great communicator and very attentive to our animals needs. She was quick to contact us with a possible medical emergency (thankfully nothing major). We felt very relaxed on our trip knowing she was watching our boys.
