1. Anne B.
“Anne did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy! Came over multiple times a day and took care of everything she needed to. Would let her sit again 10/10”
2. Iain M.
“Iain did a phenomenal job watching my two cats. From the moment I left, Iain provided the most lovely updates that were poetry via text, which added a delightful and personal touch to the whole experience, not to mention the lovely photos that were sent. Their attention to detail and genuine care for my cats were evident in every message. I didn't worry once about my beloved boys while Iain was there, which is truly remarkable. Iain was highly communicative, keeping me informed with regular updates, and was extremely reliable, ensuring that everything was taken care of. Iain isa really lovely person and made the whole process seamless and stress-free. I've already rebooked Iain for future trips because I can't imagine anyone better for the job. When I got home, my cats were clearly calm and had been well-loved. I highly recommend Iain to anyone in need of a caring, responsible, and attentive house and pet sitter!”

11. Qurrat U.
“Qurrat house sat and took care of my kitties and did a great job. In fact one of my cats ended up not feeling well and she took care of the situation very well. Keep in mind I am a nervous pet owner. I didn't feel like I had to run home because I knew she was handling it properly. And I loved getting the pictures which helps so much to feel at ease. I will definitely hire her again! ++”
12. Megan R.
“Megan house sat my pup Cairo during a holiday trip during Xmas time. She was great! Cairo was well taken care off, and Megan sent me regular updates, took him out for energy-burning activities that a 1 year old pup needs and always checking with me and ensuring his somewhat high maintenance needs were met :) It was my first experience with pet sitting and it was a super positive one. Thanks Megan!!”
13. Kelly F.

14. Volkan E.
“Excellent sitter! Immensely helpful when I had to leave the country for a long time and wasn’t sure if my new cats would be able to handle being away from humans for very long. Great communication and took great care of the cats and the apartment. I’ll reach out again if I need sitting in the future!”
15. Lauren K.
“Lauren was an amazing sitter. She took great care of my bulldog and I’m pretty sure my apartment was cleaner after she left than when she got there. Highly recommend.”
16. Carmen P.
“Carmen was amazing with our dog. He was nervous at first but she got him comfortable quickly and sent us lots of updates. She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved!”
17. Sabrina S.
“Sabrina does an absolutely excellent job!! She did a great job with my two, somewhat reactive, dogs. Since they are also high energy, she kept their brains entertained throughout the day with amazing enrichment games/treats. She is communicative and did a wonderful job sending pictures and updating me with how my pups are doing. I feel so at ease knowing Sabrina is watching my two.”
18. Danielle R.
“Danielle kept us up to date every day with photos of Tig, he seemed happy and relaxed. He also was relaxed when we got home as well. Danielle kept our place neat and clean as well!”

About: I've grown up around dogs and cats my entire life. I know a lot about walking, picking up after them, and caring for them. I love animals and believe they deserve the same love and care that we give to each other. I just moved into Boston from the suburbs, and am excited to continue offering sitting services in the city! I live in a spacious apartment in the heart of Chinatown, right off of the Boston Commons. Your furry friend can expect to be the only guest in our house, as we only board 1 dog/cat at a time (unless coming from the same household). I work full-time Monday-Friday on a hybrid schedule, but my partner works from home full-time, is an animal lover like myself, and is happy and available to help care for your loved ones as well! I'm available to board during the week & on weekends. I can also do early morning or evening drop-ins during the week, and am fully available most weekends. My calendar is always up to date! I cater care to your pet’s specific needs/routine! We'll go on lots of walks during their stay, possibly even a jog if they are higher in energy! We'll play with their toys, and they'll certainly get lots of pets and snuggles if they want my love!
20. Anthony R.
About: I have taken care of dog for most of my life, as a dog owner and lover, I enjoy getting to know their distinct personalities to be able to give dogs the love, care and attention they need! I also care for my furbaby Layla who is my favorite cat ever. So if you need cat care I can also provide! I am excited to be the fun uncle! I do work full time but can provide weekday service before 9am and after 5pm, and can provide all weekend services. I am open to all types of support you may need! I first make sure the pets I work with and live with trust me, so I allow them to inspect and sus me out. If they wanna jump on me, they can or maybe nibble, it's ok. I want them to feel comfortable with me playing, feeding, and caring for them. I tend to have built quick bonds with pets over the years
