“Annie was so wonderful with Sunny -- giving lots of love and keeping us up-to-date with photos and messages. It was our first time away from Sunny and Annie made it easy. Thank you!!!”
“We highly recommend Elena! Our dog is always anxious when we leave and is getting too old to be boarded. Elena sent many picture and videos with updates every day of our trip. We could tell Chloe was in good hands. Elena is very detail oriented and followed our instructions to the T. She left our house very clean and she even stayed a little longer with Chloe when we were delayed at the airport so she wouldn’t be alone so long. We will be booking with her again.”
“Claudine is simply the best! She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving our dog in her hands. Her warm energy was so appreciated and she provided us with tons of updates (and great photos). Our dog seemed very well taken care of, relaxed and happy when we returned. She was also a very good communicator, thoughtful, and left detailed notes about bathroom breaks and other behavior. We felt at ease having Claudine in our home, and will use her again in the future!”
“I can’t rave enough about Joshua. He stayed at our home to watch our two large breed dogs (lab and golden retriever) for the week while we went on vacation and it was our first time having someone pet sit at our home. Communication/setting up the meet and greet was easy and our dogs gravitated toward his kind demeanor right away. Throughout the week I messaged him and would get responses back within minutes of our dogs and even photos containing wild visitors/animals “trespassing”. When we returned home, our house was exactly how we left it with used linens and towels already in the dryer. Highly recommend. Thank you Joshua - for everything!”
“Rebecca was amazing with our puppy!! It was our first time leaving our pup. After meeting Rebecca, we immediately felt reassured that Roxy would be really well taken care of and given lots of affection during our time away. Rebecca sent us lots of pictures and sent many updates throughout our time away to show us how great Roxy was doing and that she was eating well and having lots of outside time with her. When we got home, we could see that Roxy had really enjoyed her time with Rebecca:). We look forward to having Rebecca stay with Roxy again in the future! We would definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for someone to dog sit their dog!!”
“This is my second time having Sarah stay with my dogs- she is communicative, sends cute update pictures and is super kind and flexible. She took great care of our babies and would definitely book again!”
“So happy that we have Alyssa nearby as a pet and housesitter. She was great at entertaining our german shepherd and gentle with our cats. Then went above and beyond taking care of our house while we were gone. Will definitely use her again!”
“We are so lucky to have Jillian to care for our pets! Prompt, professional, thorough, communicative, supportive, and animal- sensitive : there are not enough superlatives or stars to reflect our gratitude for Jillian’s work.”
About: My family had many pets growing up. I enjoy making connections with pets by showing patience, lovings, empathy, prioritize safety and of course have respect for the owners. I’m an educator home for the summer eager to keep busy with animals!! Most of the time, I’ll be able to tweak my routine to accommodate services. I would treat every pet the way I treat my own pet. Spoiled! I truly enjoy being attentive to their needs and especially their WANTS.
“Sophia is absolutely wonderful and our pups love her! We booked several times with her and would definitely do so again. She took wonderful care of our pets and home.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.
“Alyanna mught be my dogs new best friend. She was great with our german shepherd and even managed to win the hearts of our anti social cats. Took great care of the house and sent lots of updates!”
“Joanna and her daughter watched my dogs at my house for a few days while I was on vacation. They both took excellent care of my dogs. I received frequent pictures and updates from Joanna while I was away and my dogs were happy and healthy when I got home. My house was also well taken care of and spotless when I got home. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing her to watch their dogs.”
“Thank you so much Megan for taking such good care of my girls. They really appreciated having you to comfort them and seemed very relaxed while I was away. I appreciated how neat you were and that you left the house spotless thank you so much!”
“Jennifer helped us out on last minute notice. She took excellent care of our pup, and sent us updates each day with pictures. We were happy with her watch over our dog, and our house, and would happily hire her again.”
