“I cannot recommend Diana enough! She took such incredible care of our pup, Moose, while we were away. We received regular updates & adorable photos!

About: Since high school, I’ve always had pets around me. When I was full-time Army stationed in Alaska, my leadership asked me to dog sit their pets and ever since then I was the go to dog sitter for our Company. I sometimes spent weeks juggling getting to work in the early mornings and getting home in time to take care of their pets and their homes. I enjoyed taking care of their dogs on the day to day! Im renovating my family’s new house and working in the New Jersey Army National Guard so I appreciate getting some steps in and spending time with pets. I like spending time with pets because they live in the moment. I talk and run with them sometimes when on walks to make them feel comfortable with me.

“Lisa is very caring and thoughtful. Our anxious senior rescue pup quickly warmed up to her and was excited for her visits. We look forward to having Lisa look after Lily again in the future!”


“Lucas did us a big favor and helped us out last minute. It feels awesome knowing Shelby got some love in our absence - thank yöu Lucas we will def reach out again!”


“Emma was super responsive and easy to work with. She checked in, was great with my pup, and followed all of the directions I left. Would definitely book again - thanks, Emma!”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs my entire life, and it's taught me both the joy and responsibility that comes with it- walking, playing, feeding, and petting. I also have experience with senior dogs, supporting them with patience and care and always matching their pace and comfort level on walks. I am currently working a part time job, where my hours can be flexible and vary, meaning I have plenty of time this summer to walk and care for your dogs! Within my clients home, I will follow instructions and respect their space. I will feed their pets, walk them and/or let them outdoors (if fenced in yard is available), play with them, and keep them hydrated!

“Marlene always goes above and beyond for my baby - at this point I no longer feel guilty going away because I know Morgan will be treated like family!”


About: I've owned and taken care of all kind of family, friend and neighbors dogs for decades. Boarded, walked, fed them and became their best friend. I am currently working from home so I am available to walk, board or visit your pets any time and can assure you that they will feel very loved! My number one priority is that pets and clients feel safe with me. I am an honest, and trustworthy person. In your home, I will follow directions and respect boundaries to ensure every service provided is a great experience for you and your bundle of joy! Walks will be taken in the neighborhood and visits in-house will only be limited to rooms given permission to be in.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life and now I also work with kids. I was lucky enough to grow up with two dogs which gave me a lot of experience on how to take care of them. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I love them more than humans. Also, having spent so much time with dogs made me learn how to redirect certain behaviors, which is a plus that your dog will learn while we walk. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon :) *I am fluent in English and Spanish* I work part-time in the afternoons and I study from home. So I have a lot of flexibility in terms of hours. If you want me to petsit at your place I won’t be out for more than 3-4 hours. I will follow instructions and pet routine. I’ll send you daily photos/videos. I also have experience giving medicines if needed. I can water your plants.

“Claire was a great help in caring for my two cats during a time when I needed it. She was reliable and stayed in close contact with me, being sure to reach out if she had any questions. She did a nice job of attending to the needs of my kitties. I appreciated the help and will call on her again.”


About: Hi! I had owned a dog, Brownie, for 15 years, until she passed away last year. In addition, I have walked, cared for, played with, and house sat for dogs of all ages. I also used to volunteer at the Humane Society. I currently work a standard 9-5 job and am completely flexible during the weekends. During the week days, I can drop in, walk, or house sit after I finish work. I live in a secure apartment building in Beacon Hill. I am able to ensure the safety and care of your pet and will follow any specific instructions you have.

About: I’ve helped care for my family dog, Bing, for the past 9 years—he’s almost 12 now, but still acts like a puppy. He has a sensitive stomach and requires prescription food, so I’m used to following special diets and paying attention to how pets are feeling. I’ve also looked after dogs for neighbors and friends, and I regularly cat-sit for my sister when she’s out of town. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy while their people are away. I work from home a couple days a week (usually Thursdays and Fridays) and am available most weekends. I'm available for feedings, walks before/after work, and potty breaks throughout the day. I live alone and don't have any other pets here full-time. I have an unfenced yard in the front and back of the house. The neighborhood is also very quiet and perfect for easy walks.

About: “I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and grew up a dog lover. I take care of dogs for family and friends whenever they need me too. I am currently a college student and have plenty of flexibility to help watch over your lovely furry family members. I will make sure to continue their regular schedules you leave for them. I will make sure to follow the instructions provided and use all the necessary equipment to keep them safe and sound. My top priority is to make them feel safe and happy.
