Joy did a fabulous job taking care of our pets and our home. She communicated daily and sent photos. Our cats and dog were very happy and looked great when we returned home. Joy also took immaculate care of our home, which we truly appreciated. We will definitely ask Joy to come again in the future.

Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 3 years and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I provide reliable feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic care while owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, lots of playtime, or a calm companion, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a college student with a flexible summer schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets. I’m available most weekday mornings and almost all weekends for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take the time to build trust with them. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

This was our first time leaving Ellie, our family dog, overnight since we adopted her about 10 months ago. Tristan was truly incredible with her--totally understood her from the start, adored her, and gave her all the love and walks she could want (and more). Ellie can be reactive towards other dogs while on leash but it truly is all bark. Tristan had no trouble navigating neighborhood walks, rewarding her good behavior, and gently refocusing her to him when needed. She zoomed so hard with him in the backyard it was like our 8 year old coonhound became a puppy again! Could not recommend a dog sitter more.

About: I’ve always loved animals and felt a special connection between them. I believe that every animal deserves the world and all the love! I have a dog of my own, who is my baby! Any time there is an animal I want to make friends and be where they are:) I am currently working full time, but have a lot more availability on Thursdays and Sundays. I am around Saturdays after 3. Depending on the pets needs, I can stay over and go to work from your home. I would love to play with your dog, take them for walks and adventures. I can feed them breakfast and dinner, and include treats. Definitely give them plenty of love as well!

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.

Kaylee took wonderful care of our dog for a full week in our home. She made sure to maintain our dog’s normal routine and also administered medication. She is very aware of the anxiety that comes from being apart for both our pet and our family and communicated with us regularly, including pictures. This experience has made us much more comfortable knowing we have a trusted caregiver for our girl!

About: Aside from a love of all animals, I have just completed my first year of veterinary school and have previous veterinary assistant experience. I have extensive animal care experience from large to small animals including dog ownership and dogsitting experience! I am on break from school so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule for the summer apart from any previously planned travel or placements (for school)! I currently have no pets in my home so your animal will get my undivided attention! I have a number of conservation areas and walking trails that I love taking pets on as well as a yard.

Kaylee stayed overnight with Cali and she was great! She was good with communication and making sure Cali was well taken care of, she took time to play with her and kept me updated as needed with photos. I will be requesting her for more overnight dog sittings.

Susannah did an excellent job house sitting with my three elderly cats. They aren’t easy, given their age and “litter habits- or occasional lack thereof, but Susannah obviously was kind and gracious to them. She also took great care of my home. She’s at the top of my list next time I go away.

Wendy went far and beyond in helping me navigate a most difficult situation. I had to go into the hospital suddenly and I cannot tell you what a great relief. It was to have her there at my house, taking care of my cats. I have already booked her again for more cat care. Choose her with confidence!

Rachel was amazing with Bert and Maisy. She followed their exact schedule and also exercised them every day multiple times a day. She was very attentive to both doggies especially when Maisy had a bout of illness. She was so communicative and kept me in the loop with how they were doing and sent pictures. I felt so comfortable and reassured they were getting the best care while we were away. I would highly recommend Rachel for your pet sitting needs!! ❤️

We couldn’t be more grateful for Rachel’s care and dedication while watching our senior dog, Kaia, during our weekend trip. What truly stood out was her flexibility and commitment to ensuring Kaia was well taken care of, no matter the circumstances. Originally, we planned to return Sunday night, but a strong winter storm changed our plans. When we reached out to Rachel last-minute to ask if she could stay an extra night, she didn’t hesitate to help. With road conditions still dangerous Monday morning, we ended up extending our stay another night, knowing Kaia was in great hands. Despite the storm hitting Acton hard and making walks difficult, Rachel made sure Kaia could get outside safely and kept our home well cared for. Her reliability and willingness to adapt to unexpected challenges gave us peace of mind throughout the trip. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and dependable dog sitter!

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.
