About: Hello! I’m an avid animal lover with over 12 years of pet care experience, and I’ve been affectionately dubbed a “dog whisperer” by friends and clients alike. I’ve been pet sitting for several years now and I also have experience volunteering at a rescue animal shelter, where I’ve gained invaluable experience in caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. At home, I share my life with two wonderful dogs: a spirited Labrador Retriever named Bear and a lovable Cockapoo named Dexter. I adore spending quality time with furry friends—whether it’s playing, exercising, or snuggling up for some cozy moments. I’m skilled in all aspects of pet care, from feeding and administering medication to bathing and cleaning up. I’m a recent college graduate, currently participating in a virtual MFA program and also working part time virtually, which allows me the flexibility to stay with your pets during the day or overnight. Your pets will be in loving hands with me! I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I work virtually with flexible hours so I’m available to stay at your home for day or overnight pet sitting, as well as popping over for drop in visits or dog walking. Your pets will be in loving and caring hands with me! I will diligently follow all instructions and provide frequent updates while you are away.

About: I have been a cat owner since i was 10, and adore all animals! I volunteered at the MSPCA, where I adopted our family cat who lived to be 18, and took care of dogs of all ages and sizes-puppies too! I work remotely, and part time right now, so I can easily add pet care to my routine. I am looking forward to spending more time with furry friends! I am careful to follow any special instructions for your pet, as well as ensure any outside spaces are secure if your pup has one for playtime


12. Pilar M.

“Pilar has been so helpful. She is always very responsive and available. She has been wonderful with Baxter. There was a time when she was walking him and he heard shooting range and panicked. Instead of bringing him right back inside without a walk she sat with him and calmed him down and then was able to get him to walk again. He is clearly comfortable with her and enjoys his time with her!”

16. Seamus D.
“I can´t feel happier and more satisfied with Saemus walking and taking care of Lola! Lola is my beautiful doggie, a pit bull mix (almost 70 lbs.) who was used, abused and abandoned twice... until we found each other 4 years ago in a shelter in Boston :) Even though she has done a lot of progress, her anxiety is still so high, specially when she meets a person for the first time. Her energetic behavior has made difficult to find a person who wants to take care of her, or just wants to walk her (even using Rover app). Truly. And now is when Saemus appears. He was so sweet and patient with her since the first moment, making her to feel more relaxed and comfortable. He walked and played with Lola until she got exhausted... Definitely, I recommend him to everyone and especially if your doggie needs a lot of care and attention. Additionally, he was so flexible and kind with me. He has been like a gift... I am moving back home to Europe with Lola at the end of this October. Hopefully I would had contacted Saemus a lot of months ago!! But definitely until our flight, I will reach him every time I need someone to stay with Lola. Saemus is absolutely the best sitter you can have!”
