“Tricia was fantastic! Took such good care of our dogs and house and was so responsive to messages and sent some many cute photos while we were away.”


“Julie did a great job with my three dogs, who are a handful (90 pound reactive elderly Shepard, 80 pound willful Golden, and 11 pound Chihuahua mix who can be stubborn on walks). We worked together beforehand to talk about what would work best both for the dogs and for Julie so that she was set up for success. We did a few walks together and then she did a few on her own before our travel dates, which made me, and more importantly, the dogs, feel really comfortable with her. She was wonderful about giving updates including pictures, and overall communicated perfectly. She took great care of my dogs and seemed very confident about handling them. I am thrilled to have someone on hand who can take care of my pack when I am away. I highly recommend Julie for taking care of your pets. She also took care of my parent's elderly cat during the same time period and did a great job on that, too.”


“Anna took great care of our pups, kitty, and home while we were away. We've used Anna for dog walking before her weeklong stay in our home, and the animals love her. Anna is very gentle and kind, and that reflects when we've seen her interact with all of our animals. She made sure to stay in communication with us and send great pictures to make us feel at ease. We plan on continuing to hire Anna for dog walking or future pet sitting.”


“Jacqueline was just fabulous! Leaving a 12 and 13-year-old set of dogs that required medicine and gentle walking is always hard to do. In order to attend our son’s wedding without a worry we needed to feel confident in a dog sitter. Jacqueline provided that no worry feeling for us. Receiving pictures and regular updates throughout the three days was very comforting. I highly recommend Jacqueline and will use her again as needed.”


About: I have never known my family without an animal present as a member. Dogs and fish were the animals allowed in my house growing up. This then branched off to felines, rodents, chickens and more when I began pet sitting around the age of 15. Recently graduated from Bates College, I am back home in Massachusetts which means I am available to visit, walk or house sit pets in my nearby communities. I am currently studying for the MCAT so a trip outside with your furry friends is a welcomed break from the textbooks! At my home, we have a Winnie the poodle to keep your fur baby company on walks or during longer stays. I have reliable transportation to meet you and your fur baby's needs where they are at. This could mean taking them for walks in your local community or bringing them to my house to meet loving family and receive an abundance of cuddles.

“Olivia was a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care of our two large dogs. We would definitely recommend Olivia as a house sitter and hope to book her again”


“Kyla did an amazing job sitting our two cats! She gave lots of updates throughout the day and sent lots of photos. She was super attentive and I felt at ease knowing my cats were in her care!”


“We are so grateful we found Chelsea to watch our dogs for the week! The meet and greet was very helpful to get to know her and tell her our dogs routine. Our dogs looked like they were getting all the snuggles and love while we were gone. She even took two ticks off our behavioral dog while we were gone! Thank you again Chelsea for keeping us updated and trying to stick to our dogs routines.”


“This is the second time Dalal house sat for us and we are always happy when she is available. Our cat really likes her and we know our home is in good hands.”


“Stella is very friendly, professional, and just the sweetest with our lil pups. Looking forward to booking with her again.”

About: I've raised & trained 4 dogs and have taken care of neighbors pets along with my adult children's dogs. You have to live it and experience it in order to receive the rewards, handle the challenges & overall personalities of different breeds to be a successful care giver. My young adult children call me the Dog Whisperer. I'm retired in great shape and constantly do 2-3 mile hikes with dogs and they receive my undivided attention. Looking to bring some happiness and comfort to dogs, while allowing their owners the freedom & peace of mind knowing they have the best care possible. I'm retired and don't travel often. My wife is an RN in the local school district and we really only do occasional trips through out New England. She also works the school summer programs, so I have a lot of free time and open to all hours of the day and night. Prefer to take care of pets at owners home, but can make an occasional exception. I spend a lot of time at different parks like Hopkinton State, Veterans Freedom in Westboro, and other natural conservation sites.

“Jill did a great job She had to fill in at the last minute do to an illness of our original sitter She had to meet and greet on her own The house was left in great shape and she did a great job taking care of our dog I would highly recommend her”


“This was our first time with a pet sitter and we know our boy (labs - 85lbs and 70lbs) are a handful, but Nicholas did a great job! Both pups were tired and happy when we came back. Nicholas was very patient with them, sent us a bunch of pictures of the boys having a good time, was punctual and we would absolutely have Nicholas watch them again!”


“Emerie was awesome. She in my Siberian husky Miley Rose went for walks went to play in parks and got to live at home where she’s happiest. I will definitely look for Emerie to watch Miley on my next trip.”


About: My name is Reed P., I'm a Brewer at Jacks Abby. I've had animals my whole life and love all animals. You can trust me to take care of your animals, your house, and have everything better than when you left. I currently work the PM shift at Jacks Abby. I work from 2 PM to 10 PM so I can stay with your animal all morning long and will be with them at the end of the day. If you’re located near Framingham, I can stop by in the middle of my shift to feed and take bathroom and take the dog out for bathroom breaks. i’m diligent about keeping your animal safe, healthy, and happy and making sure your house is better when you come back then when you left

“Sam came through at the last minute to house sit during a birthday celebration after another sitter canceled. Not only did he save the day, but he provided even higher quality care than we could have imagined. Our 6 month old puppy adored him from the moment he walked into our apartment. He asked great questions before we left and within minutes of being gone she was snuggled up with him on the sofa. He provided fun and informative updates that put us at ease while we were away—allowing us to fully enjoy the night. Sam is now our go-to sitter. We will certainly book his services in the future. Highly recommend for knowledgeable, playful, and attentive care for your pet.”


“Charlotte was an excellent cat sitter! She watched my two cats for a week and had no issues at all. I greatly appreciated all the pictures and updates from her stay and would happily choose her for future trips. Thank you!”


“Kristen was amazing! We needed last minute pet sitting and Kristen was so responsive and accommodating! I highly recommend Kristen L!”


“Kelsey was great! She drove out to visit us and our dog prior to booking so we could make sure it was a good fit. She was proactive in confirming arrival and departure times, and kept us up to date over the weekend. We will be reaching out to Kelsey again in the future, for sure!”


“Julius did an amazing job watching my two dogs overnight. He was extremely professional and agreed to meet my dogs prior staying over with them. One of my dogs can be very temperamental with new people, but Julius was able to quickly earn his trust. I received regular updates from Julius and he was very responsive. Both of my dogs received great care and were very happy with Julius. I'll be using Julius for future bookings!”
