“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”


“Brittany was great to work with. She was a great communicator and left us feeling confident that our home and pets were in good hands. We arrive back home and everything was perfect! Ty so much for the piece of mind that we now have a great sitter.”

“Joy spent a long weekend with our animals and house sitting and was fantastic. She met with us before taking the job, communicated with us about any issues or questions she had that popped up, and sent photos of our pets. Our animals were very obviously loved while we were gone and we highly recommend her for any house or pet sitting jobs.”


“Mikayla stayed with our active Jack Russell for 2 weeks while we were away. I never worried about our pup, knowing that she was being taken care of and played with. Mikayla shared updates and pictures, and answered promptly when I checked in with her. I recommend her without hesitation, we have never been so at ease while away.”

“OMG we went on vacation for three weeks and left our cat and our home in the care of Lilian, who was a rockstar. She took care of everything, followed all of our instructions and when we came home this time our cat was completely at ease. Usually when we return home from vacation, whether it's a week or longer and we have somebody stop in, we hear it from the cat for a good two weeks waking us up early in the morning rauling, but this time Bella just showed love and has been 100% normal. We would hire her again in our heartbeat. Best decision we ever made!”

“I had a last-minute adjustment to my vacation schedule and needed a sitter and found Shayna. She was super flexible and accommodating, and came to meet my dogs and learn their routine the same day! Shayna provided excellent care for my dogs who are anxious and can sometimes be difficult to care for. I would absolutely use her again for overnight services or walking anytime that we are traveling and she is available! Thank you for taking such good care of my girls💙🐶”

About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
“Theo did a great job taking care of our pup and house. Got lots of updates and pics over the weekend which kept our minds at ease that he was being well taken care of. Thanks so much Theo!”

About: I love to work with animal, I’ve been in the veterinary profession for 10+ years. If your pet has special care instructions I will follow them perfectly. I have dogs, cats, and horses at home so I am very comfortable working with all sizes of animals. I also know how to care for birds, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters and pigs. I know how much a pet can mean to someone so ill will care for yours as if they were my own I currently work 4 days a week. I am available Fridays to Sunday’s if you are looking for a weekend getaway or if you have a busy weekend and would like your dog to go for a walk I don’t offer in my home dog services but can offer cat or small animal boarding. You tell me home you’d like your pet cared for, weather it’s taking them for a walk or just letting them out in a fenced in area
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have over 5 years of experience caring for animals through friends, family, and clients, and I previously volunteered with a dog rescue organization. Through these experiences, I’ve worked with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, including administering oral medications and supporting basic training and reinforcement. I also have hands-on experience working with leash manners, redirection, basic commands, and reading canine body language. I currently work full time in pet care and maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate client needs whenever possible. I intentionally organize my availability to provide reliable, consistent care and clear communication for each client and pet. I’m happy to coordinate timing in advance and do my best to accommodate different scheduling needs whenever possible. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet’s routine and care needs. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific routines to ensure consistency and comfort while you’re away. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, proactive about maintaining a safe environment, and committed to keeping pets physically secure and emotionally at ease. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful care so you can feel completely confident leaving your pet in my hands.
“Nathan was wonderful - providing loving care for my two dogs. He was on time, offered support when my dog sprained her ankle, and attentive to their needs. Thank you Nathan!”

“Jessica. I’m grateful we’ve reconnected. Thank you for taking care of our crazy girl. Boarding just doesn’t work for her so this is the perfect solution and the added bonus of some cleaning which you didn’t need to do but….we are grateful for. Thank you thank you!!!”

About: I grew up with black labs throughout my childhood and have recently adopted an orange tabby cat named Cheeto. I’m very comfortable taking care of both cats and dogs. I currently work remotely from South Boston which makes my schedule flexible for most hours during the week and weekends. I will have no problem making it to sitting appointments on time. I am very responsible and have taken care of my friends and family’s pets at their residence and have never misplaced a key and always leave their home as I found it.
“Maddox was a great dog sitter. The animals loved him and were very well behaved. My home was cleaner than I left it and the puppies were happy boys all day. Would definitely recommend.”

“Indigo stayed for a few nights to watch my dog and cat giving them lots of cuddles walks and keeping me apprised of how everyone was doing with frequent updates and photos. Indigo left the house spotless and would be welcome back anytime.”

“Sam took wonderful care of our 2 dogs that both required medication and extra attention. She kept in close contact with us throughout our time away. We lost power for a stretch and she took this in stride and kept us up to date on the dogs and the house. We will definitely plan to have Sam come look after the dogs again.”

Sarah is such a gem! We felt so lucky to have her watching our little guy while we were gone. She was super responsive in communication, and thought ahead for all our dog's needs. She was flexible in accommodating him at her house and open to seeing how he responded to the new environment(s) he was exposed to. She was really attuned to him which made it a smooth transition for him. Would completely recommend Sarah! She's kind, patient, and attuned to animals. A great find!
