“Heather is amazing! We have used her multiple times. She is super reliable and my dogs love her! She sends pictures every visit and keeps us in the loop regarding how things are going. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Michele was EXCELLENT! Super patient with our little girl who takes a bit of time to warm up and trust new people. By the end she was a purring machine!! Highly recommend!!”


About: One of my first jobs was working at a popular local doggie daycare, where I cared for groups of 10–15 dogs of all ages and sizes on my own for three years. During that time I also provided services on Rover and house sitting for family and friends. I have hands-on experience supervising play, monitoring behavior, ensuring dogs stay hydrated, and maintaining clean, safe play areas. This experience taught me to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs, which helps me provide attentive and personalized care 🐶 Hi! I’m Danielle — I’m 28 and was born and raised in beautiful Plymouth. I’m a licensed traveling esthetician and currently in school for nursing. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and animals have always held a special place in my heart. When I’m not traveling across the U.S. for work, there’s nothing I love more than spending time caring for your furry family members and I’m excited to become a trusted friend for both you and your pet 🐾 When caring for your pet in your home, I respect your space and follow your care instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care so you can feel confident your furry friend is safe and happy

“Meghan is fantastic! She always provides thorough and timely updates on my dog, which has been such a relief. Knowing my dog is in great hands gives me real peace of mind. Highly recommend booking with Meghan!”


“I’m very particular about my cat. So, I left lengthy instructions for Justine to follow. This the first time that I’ve used Rover. She was extremely patient with walking me through the sitter process and also following my instructions. She has been amazing during her 1st week with us. I appreciate her thorough communication too.”



“Sheri took great care of my cats when I was on a trip. She even let's you know how much they were fed! She is a fantastic communicator and took any questions in stride. Thank you!”


“Rachel did an awesome job taking care of our two cats! They stay in separate spaces while we’re away and she navigated that perfectly. She was super communicative, came on time for each trip and gave detailed summaries- we will be booking with her again!”

About: I grew up being surrounded by puppies, I’ve owned my own dog for 10 years I’ve also watched and trained many dogs of all stages of life. I’ve never not had dogs around me, although I am no professional dog trainer, I have attended classes on obedience and K-9 protection. Dogs are my world, and you can see it through my love, Lily. She requires extra love and kisses - but also as a rescue is timid of loud noises, barking dogs etc. I’ve continued to preach understanding dogs boundaries, and making them feel the utmost comfortable within their environment. I understand not every dog likes to be smothered with love, and some find love as just simply going on a walk. It would be a pleasure keeping your pup comfortable and happy! I will treat your dog as if they are my own, and will definitely take some cute photos for you! I work full time in Plymouth Monday-Friday until around 5pm (so on the weekdays I am not available in the AM). I have great flexibility for weekends starting Friday at 5pm. I am happy to accommodate last minute requests for new and existing clients. I am happy to do meet and greets to make sure you feel the most comfortable. If there is sitting that you need that is outside of my days - please send me a message as I may be able to accommodate your needs. Some weekends I take off to spend time with my Lily - but I’m happy to sneak away for a few hours if needed to help you out! I only care for pets within your home, as my pups at home like their own space. I also like to do home sitting because it’s less stress on the pup and they’re more comfortable in their environment. I will follow any guidelines that are put in place and make sure they’re followed accordingly. Please advise me of any information you feel would make the stay the most comfortable for not only your pup, but you! I’m happy to send updates with photos and verbal - as many or as little as you’d like.

About: I’ve had a dog in my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, because I know they’re not just animals—they’re family. What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to each pet as if they were my own. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need structure and training to senior dogs who require patience, comfort, and sometimes medication. I’m very in tune with animal behavior and always aim to make pets feel safe, loved, and at ease. Whether your dog loves belly rubs, long walks, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs to ensure they’re happy and well cared for. I work three days a week as a nursing assistant at South Shore Hospital, and on my days off, I love spending my extra time caring for animals. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life since I’ve grown up with dogs, and I enjoy staying active and being around animals whenever I can. On the days I’m not at the hospital, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, or boarding—whatever your pet needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and used to managing schedules, so I make sure every pet gets the care and consistency they deserve. This is something I genuinely enjoy doing, and I’m excited to spend my free time helping pets feel happy, safe, and loved. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space. I stick to their usual routine—feeding, walking, playtime, and anything else they need—so things feel familiar and stress-free for them. If I’m watching pets in my own home, I create a calm and cozy environment. I keep things clean and make sure they have space to relax, play, and feel at home. I only take in a small number of pets at a time so I can give each one plenty of attention and care. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I treat them like they’re my own—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs.

“Traci was amazing with our cat for the week we were away. He is a shy one and she handled him perfectly, gave him his space, and made sure he was well taken care of. We couldn’t have had a better experience!”


About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and love spending time with them. I’ve cared for my own pets for years, including raising and training my current dog, who is now three years old. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and basic training, and I always treat animals with love and respect. While most of my experience is personal, I bring a reliable and caring approach to every pet as if they were my own! I work from home four days a week, and I am usually local on weekends, so my schedule is flexible. I’m home throughout the day to provide walks, playtime, and drop-ins. My schedule makes it easy to pop by during mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings to check in, feed, or give some love and attention as needed. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a labrador retriever who gets along with other animals and a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I keep a close eye on all pets, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved.

“Crystal was amazing! She went out of her way to come over on a Friday night to meet all 4 of our crazy dogs. She was so nice and friendly. She came right on time to let them out as scheduled on Saturday and did a great job. It’s not easy to deal with our energetic crazy pups but she took care of it. Thanks! ?”


About: I have had dogs since I was 8! I am experience with rescues and strays and the ones that need just a little extra love! I also have proffesional dog walking and sitting experience! I’m currently working part time and taking an online class over the summer so I have tons of time to watch after your furry family members whenever need be! I have dogs myself so I prefer to not take care of your dogs in my home! I prefer to go to clients home or dog walking etc!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all ages and sizes ranging from teacup Chihuahuas to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I can adjust your pets adventure to their specific needs. My youngest just started kindergarten this year. So I have free time for the first time in many years. I’m available weekdays anytime after 830 until 230. I take my dog for 30 minute walks in my neighborhood. He uses a harness but I will use whatever you prefer to keep you pup safe while on an adventure with me.

“Diana took great care of our cats for just over a week and with one of our cats having relatively recently been in the hospital. Two of our three cats are shy around folks they don't know but clearly they warmed up to playing and being around Diana! Our cats were in good spirits and looked happy upon our return.”

Very responsible and responsive. If there is ever a question, she doesn’t hesitate to reach out and always has my dogs best intention.

“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to recommend Alyssa and Sophia as exceptional pet sitters and dog walkers. As Alyssa’s sister and someone who has seen the two of them care for pets together, I can confidently say they are trustworthy, responsible, and absolutely passionate about animals. Alyssa has had multiple dog walking and pet sitting jobs, and she always handles them with professionalism and care. Sophia shares the same love for animals, and together they make a fantastic team. They go above and beyond to ensure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for—whether it’s long walks, playtime, or sticking to specific routines. Both Alyssa and Sophia genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, and it shows in how much the animals adore them. They are reliable, attentive, and truly treat every pet as if it were their own. I wholeheartedly recommend Alyssa and Sophia for any pet sitting or dog walking needs. Your furry friends will be in excellent hands with them! Sincerely, Angela”

“Finding someone trustworthy to care for your beloved pet can be tough, but Sara A and her sweet dog, Dafney, made it an absolute breeze! I felt completely at ease.
