“We were so happy of Juliana’s care for our girl Digby during her first recent stay. Juliana is a lovely, caring attendant who treated Digby just like her own beloved pets. We will certainly be using Juliana for our future overnight care needs!!!”
“Very thorough when I dropped my dog off Reported back to me the details of his day seemed very capable. Finn was very relaxed and seemed perfectly adjusted in a situation where he normally would be very upset. I pup has severe anxiety separation, but he did great.”
“We have utilized Michael’s services a number of times now. He does a great job! Our pups always come home happy and in good health. Michael is our go to man when we need a pet sitter. It is comforting to know they are in a home setting. Thanks, Michael!”
“I am so glad to have found Phillip and Chelsea. My two pups are always happy to see them when we arrive and clearly have a blast in the yard with the other dogs. They’ve also great about looking after medical needs, which is a big stress reducer for me since one of my dogs often needs special attention. Couldn’t recommend more highly!”
“Haley was amazing!! So kind and flexible with communicating and planning with me, and very responsive! I felt very safe leaving my pup with her and her family on a holiday night☺️”
“Tracy was amazing with our cat Pretty Girl! We were nervous as this was our first time boarding her but Tracy was very kind and helpful. She was in good hands for sure! We got updates throughout the stay and lots of pictures as well!! When we picked Pretty Girl up she was happy and healthy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with Tracy again!”
About: I’ve been working for a company based out of Sudbury Ma for 5 years and I’m just looking for extra work :) I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages etc. I have worked with dogs of all temperaments as well. Would love to get to know your pet :) I work full time walking/ pet sitting for a company Monday - Friday and weekends for sitting. I’m looking to expand to some new clients! I could even bring your dog with me for the day on walks with other dogs if I’m sitting them and they would be up for it I can stay in someone’s home or have someone’s dog/ dogs stay in my home if they are friendly with other dogs as I do have my own dog
About: I have had/ have all sorts of different animals my whole life and have a lot of experience dogs and cats especially. Growing up I had a German shepherd and a husky (Layla and Harley) I used to take them for walks everyday with I woke up before I had to get on the bus for school. When I got back took them for another. I also have had cats my whole life. At one point my family had 10 cats. Some were ours and some we fostered until they could find there forever homes. We always made sure to have all our pets fixed and up to date with shots and microchipped. So I would love to spend some time with ur furry friends and make sure they have fun while your out having fun! I work Monday through Friday 7 to 3:30. My weekends are always open whenever you would need me. And before and after work I could take them on walks/ sit. For safety, I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, well-fed, and hydrated. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and routines to help them feel safe and stress-free. I keep a clean environment, provide regular potty breaks and exercise, and make sure all pets are treated with patience, love, and care while they are with me.
“Jaquie was very accommodating to my dog and sent me photo and video updates. She provided lots of exercise for my younger energetic dog. I highly recommend Jaquie to care for your pet.”
“Riven and Matt were great! They were able to take care of my pup, Lula Mae, while I needed to be out of town on short notice. Lu was clearly well cared for and happy with them. Really appreciate it!!”
About: I grew up with labs, mastiffs, collies, and shepherds. I treat my dogs better than my family at times! Play, comfort, and love are staples. I work full-time during the week, but am home most weekends with my 11 month old socialized lab. My dog receives daily exercise and active play and yours will too! I will ensure your dog’s safety and your peace of mind by taking them out on leash for walks and bathroom breaks. I value active play time and also work in rest times.
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
“Bradleigh was absolutely great!! I brought my dog Joey to stay with her and her family for the weekend. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and she made it possible for me!! Ive had Rover with other people before but Bradleigh is the best! I would recommend her to any pet owner who’s looking for dog walks, boarding, and more. I am absolutely thankful to her and her family for taking care of my baby like it was theirs. He came home super happy! I will definitely bring Joey back with her and her family.”
“couldn’t be happier with this dog sitter/boarding experience. I needed a sitter last minute, and they stepped in right away and made the whole situation stress-free. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I could tell he was comfortable, happy, and truly cared for. They kept me updated with lovely pictures, which meant so much and really reassured me that my dog was having a great time. It felt more like leaving him with a loving family than a boarding service. They are incredibly trustworthy, kind, and attentive, and it’s clear they genuinely love animals. I’m so grateful for the care they provided, especially on short notice. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and reliable place for their dog—and I will definitely be using them again!”
