“Arianna did a good job taking care of my babies, when I came back my place was very clean and the cats seemed to be in good spirit and had good appetites when we were away.”


“Ashley was amazing with my anxious rescue. She took the time to meet him beforehand so he would feel more comfortable when she came to walk him while I was away. I was so appreciative of all the updates and pictures she sent while I was gone. I highly recommend Ashley and will be booking with her again in the future!”


“Solaima was more than perfect with my two cats. She always communicated anything that she wasn’t sure of, and made sure to update me with how they were doing everyday. She even washed a few things that were in the sink when she did not have to! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter!!”


“Annaliese was great! She was on time for each visit to check on and give some attention and let's to our 4 cats. It was a peace of mind knowing that someone was visiting with them while we were away. Definitely would book again!”


“Katie was awesome! She checked in on bean twice for me and was super attentive playing with him & making sure he ate. Will definitely hire her again!”


“Paige is absolutely wonderful!!! She is always on time, my dog lights up when she sees her and she’s always sure to check in and take pics!! A true life saver!! :)”


About: I’ve had a pup for as long as I can remember, and LOVE training dogs. I was able to learn the basics from my mom, who happens to be an agility dog trainer! Big or small, I love all pups. Can’t wait to meet yours! I am typically available weekends, and have a varied schedule during the week. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, and would be able to tend to your pet most consistently those days. I have a dog run area, and enough space for a crate if you provide one. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, so if your pup gets nervous I’ll be spending a lot of time with them!

“Lauren checked in on my cat Belle while I was away and was amazing! Greatly appreciated the photo and vid updates and super responsive!! Definitely recommend”



“Elliott is amazing! He always takes cute photos of my dog and is very communicative and friendly. I appreciate him so much - thanks Elliott for being so great!”


“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Nico! She has cared for him over multiple days, and I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter. Emily handled both oral meds and injections with complete confidence and care. She also kept me consistently updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled cat sitter—especially if your cat needs a little extra medical attention.”


“Our cats are not the easiest, nor the friendliest of guys and they really loved their visits from Steve whilst we were away. Kept us up to date with their eating and litter box habits as well. They will definitely be our go to when we're next away!”


“Savannah is always great with Twix, very communicative, Provides updates regularly and pictures! Always Helps get twix's energy out - she is a life saver!”


“Cat and Donavan were amazing with my two cats! They followed all instructions, kept me updated with photos, and my cats warmed up to them right away. I came home to happy and relaxed cats. Highly recommend their care!”


About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including multiple senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. My entire family has had, or currently has dogs, so I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life! In the past, I've trained my own dog to sit, lay down, shake, and even dance—so I know how much time, love, and patience pets need. I also understand how important it is to find a sitter you can truly trust. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, giving them attention, affection, and reliable care. My wife and I dream of one day owning a personal farm where we can give even more animals a loving home. Until then, I’m here to provide your pets with the next best thing—a safe, happy, and caring environment. I'm a musician, so my schedule is a bit more flexible and less traditional—which works perfectly for giving your pet the care they need, even on short notice. I'm most available during the day, but I understand that things can change quickly in life, so I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests too. Whether it's a quick walk or some quality time while you're away, I’m here to help keep your pet happy and comfortable! When I found my dog, Rhythm, in college, she quickly became my best friend and my whole world. From the start, I felt a deep responsibility to keep her safe—like I was the only one who truly could. That experience taught me how important trust is when it comes to our pets. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, which is why I prioritize safety and care above all else. Every pet is different and deserves personalized attention, and I’m committed to making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

“Hadia is super communicative, responsive, and thoughtful when taking care of my cat! I’ve rebooked her and it has been a great experience all-round”


“Cora took such great care of Newbury while I was away. I got pictures and updates after every one of their walks and Newbury had such a great time with her ?”


“Thank you so much! We really appreciate it. Hannah was great with our pup Charlie we highly recommend her!”


About: As someone who grew up with dogs and who has been taking care of them since I was 7, I love dogsitting! Not only am I a huge dog lover but I also love being able to help others know their dog is safe and happy with me while they are busy or away. I provide top notch care for pups of all ages and breeds (including lots of cuddles!) and I make sure they are happy and comfortable during their time with me. I'm about to start my first year of law school at Suffolk University, so this summer I am available weekends and weekdays! By and large I am able to be with your pet most of the time if you book boarding in your home, and I have a wide open schedule for walks and drop in visits! I have a safe and cozy apartment, and no food or chemicals are dog accessible. I have one roommate that also loves dogs and is always happy to contribute to cuddles with the pups!

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, and my journey with cats started when I was 13. Over the years, whether it be my family, friends or neighbors asking for help, I've gained a great deal of experience, particularly with smaller dogs and senior dogs and cats of all ages, and have learned to cater to their unique needs. I've also had my fair share of heartbreak from losing my own pets, so I truly understand the deep bond and love every pet owner has for their fur baby. This connection and understanding ensures that I provide pets with the care, comfort, and love they need, especially as they grow older. Whether it's tending to their everyday needs or offering extra attention to senior dogs and cats, I always approach every pet with the same level of warmth! I work full-time from Tuesday to Friday, so my schedule allows me to be fully available to care for your fur babies on weekends and Mondays! When I care for someone's pet, I will make sure to ask where everything I need is placed and if there are any specific instructions or things I should pay extra attention to. I'll also confirm how often your pet needs potty breaks, needs to be fed, and any other routines or preferences the pet owners have, ensuring that your pet feels comfortable while you are away.

Rye V.
“Rye watched my senior dog and kitten during a last-minute trip, and I couldn't be more grateful. He responded and connected with me so quickly, despite the short notice. He did a wonderful job caring for my pets and even gave medication to my new kitten, who had a cold. I usually leave detailed instructions for new sitters, but due to the time crunch, I wasn’t able to prepare much. Still, Rye handled everything effortlessly. It was clear right away that he knew what he was doing, which really put me at ease. He also sent updates and photos while I was away, and I returned to two very happy pets. Rye was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be using his services again. 10/10!”

Our dog is also high energy and she has been great managing him, especially on walks. She’s a great communicator, sends pictures, and is prompt with pick up and drop off times. Siena is our favorite dog walker and dog sitter!”


Marian Samantha L.
“Sam is awesome! She watched my cat Zoey while I was gone for a few days and took such good care of her. Zoey’s kind of picky with people, but she really likes Sam—they get along great. Sam always kept me in the loop with cute pics and updates, especially when Zoey seemed to miss me. She even helped me celebrate Zoey’s birthday which was really sweet. It was really comforting knowing she was being looked after by someone who actually cares. She also made sure to feed Zoey on her usual schedule, which was super helpful. I totally recommend Sam if you need someone caring, responsible, and great with pets!”
