Top rated Harvard pet sitters

“Chloe is an excellent dog sitter! She comes on time, makes sure my dog is taken out, and fed. She also walks and plays with her. She is very responsive and will ask if anything is needed. I also like her pricing as it is affordable. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”


“I have 2 dogs, one is a very fearful dog so he is hard to handle. Ben did a fantastic job. He was able to get them both outside for their potty breaks, something I wasnt sure he could do. He sent daily updates and photos. Its nice to go away and know even my difficult pup is well cared for.”


“Zach took great care of our animals while we were away for a week. He was extremely flexible when I accidentally booked the wrong dates initially and needed to change the booking last minute. He communicates well and took great care of our cats, chickens, and fish!”


“Rachel was a huge help taking care of my dogs over the past couple months. She is reliable and incredibly responsive. I am a repeat customer and will continue to be one in the future.”


“Rebecca is our go-to pet sitter for our two cats when we are out of town! She always takes such good care of them and sends the cutest pictures to keep us posted on how they’re doing :)”


“Cam visited my house to care for my two cats for five days while we were away. I asked if it would be possible to come at the same time every day, though I mentioned it was okay if that couldn’t be done. Cam managed to come at about the same time each day and sent me photos of my cats. Cam is reliable, communicative, and takes great care of pets. I highly recommend Cam’s services.”


“Bonnie took excellent care of my cat. She was happy & playful when I got home from my trip and I attribute that to Bonnie's skill and natural ease with animals. Sarsaparilla is a good girl, but can get over stimulated and feisty at times. Bonnie was thorough in her notes on her daily visits and I felt at ease knowing Sarsaparilla was being well cared for.”


About: I’m a recently retired school teacher with a passion for animals and much love to give. After years of nurturing students, I’m now enjoying the best kind of “retirement” by spending my days walking dogs, playing with pups, and caring for pets. I have so many fond memories of the various dogs and cats I cared for as a kid and parent. Starting in August, 2025 I am available M-F mornings and late afternoons to care for your pet. I can be flexible at other times as well. I closely follow the owners' instructions on their property. Also, I live in a peaceful neighborhood, in a single family home with a large yard. Since the homes are part of a subdivision, there is minimal traffic.

“I scheduled Kelly at the last minute and she was more than willing to take care of my cat, Domino, for 3 days. She sent pictures at each daily visit to reassure me that my furbaby was well taken care of. Much appreciated Kelly!!”


“Stef did an amazing job taking care of the pups while we had to deal with some unexpected circumstances. Her timing was perfect and she arrived precisely when we needed her. The pups loved seeing her and enjoyed their walk.”


About: > I have over 14 years of personal experience caring for animals. I grew up in a rural area, surrounded by pets, farm animals, and even wildlife. From dogs and cats to chickens and rabbits, I’ve always been deeply involved in their care, feeding, and well-being. My love for animals began in childhood and has only grown stronger — and now I'm turning that passion into professional pet care. > I have a very flexible schedule and I'm currently focusing full-time on pet care. I’m available during weekdays, evenings, and weekends — including holidays. Whether your pet needs company during the day or overnight care, I can adjust my routine to fit your needs. Your pet will always have my full attention and affection! I take pet safety and comfort very seriously. I always follow the pet’s routine as requested by the owner, including walks, feeding, playtime, and medications if needed. I keep the environment clean and calm, and I make sure each pet feels loved, safe, and stress-free. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. Your pet will be in kind, caring hands!

About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, who is 75 pounds and the neighborhood dog greeter. Has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with my dog and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.

“Kylie was amazing, she is so sweet, thoughtful and communicative! She followed our feeding instructions and all of care instructions thoroughly and sent us so many sweet pictures. You can tell that she really spends time giving your pet all the love and care they deserve. I was so appreciative of the few extra pictures we got and the notes she left, letting us know our favorite little guy was being looked after well. We will definitely be using Kylie again, she is a fantastic sitter :)”


About: I have a 14 year old German Shorthaired Pointer that I adopted at 8 years old. He is so sweet and full of energy but slowing down now. With him I've learned to be very patient, how to handle anxiety in a dog, walk often, successful medicine tactics, and senior care. Dogs make life much more interesting and deserve loving care, I truly enjoy their presence. We used to have a very loving Chocolate Lab that passed away in Sept 2024. He is greatly missed to this day. I have summers off and lots of flexibility in my schedule when I am home. I also enjoy staying active, so going on walks is a very fun aspect of dogs I enjoy with them. But, I also love to travel which is why I am doing this extra work to save for more trips, so sometimes, my schedule is not as open. My dog is very taken care of, he is kept clean, feed properly, and gets lots of snuggles. I use a leash when we are out with other dogs, but he is also vocally trained well and doesn't leave the yard. He has lots of pet beds around the house and really could be considered spoiled! LOL

About: I grew up with rescue Great Danes, pet-sat throughout college, and fostered for a bit in graduate school at Brown University. I love all dogs and would love to walk your dogs! My family currently has a Doberman and rescue Labrador, both of which I have also worked with in training. I have a very active lifestyle, so I would be more than happy to do very long walks with active dogs! I am a current graduate student on summer break, doing research, so the majority of my days are open and flexible! I would love to spend time with your dog, and am flexible on timing and location! I currently do not have any dogs at home because I am a graduate student and live in an apartment, but during my childhood, I helped raise multiple Great Danes at a time, working with post-rescue experience.
