“Super grateful that we were able to have our dog stay with Lyn! She was super quick to communicate and arrange a meet up so we could meet her. Throughout our trip she sent daily updates with photos and made me feel at ease. Highly recommend! :)”


“Bonnie did such a wonderful job while taking care of our 2 dogs. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are safe and comfortable within her home. Would highly recommend Bonnie!!”


“Kaelyn was able to book my dog stella for boarding on short notice. I also mistakenly entered the wrong start date but she was able to accommodate me a day earlier, which I very much appreciated. My dog seemed to get along well with her adorable little pup. Thank you, Kaelyn”

“Vanessa took wonderful care of my dear Clementine. Clementine was very happy in Vanessa's care. I'm very grateful for how well cared for Clementine was with Vanessa!”

“Gina was so wonderful! She was so good with Gremlin, who is a big pittie and can be a lot to handle. She also went above and beyond and dropped him back off when I was having car trouble. Sent pics, super sweet and communicative, would recommend and rebook!”

“Jason was great with our dog Calvin. It's always hard finding a new sitter (we just moved to Boston), but Jason was probably one of the best we've ever used on Rover. He communicated multiple times a day, sent photos of our buddy and asked questions when he had them. Calvin had a great time with Noah, his new bestie, and settled in much faster than he usually does. We know Calvin looks forward to his next stay with Noah, and so do we!”


“Joseph was awesome! He communicated well and sundae seemed to have a good time with him. He’s also super friendly and flexible which was great for us as our travel schedule ended up changing.”

About: I have grown up around all kinds of animals, most notably my two dogs (15 + 16 years old) who have taught me how to take care of animals. I have also taken care of cats and family/friends dogs. I have a background in healthcare which can help me care for animals with medical conditions. I love all animals and will make sure all animals i take care of will be given plenty of love and care. Currently I am finishing up my spring semester, but i will be free during the summer most day, except for when i go to work (maximum 4 hours a day). After finals my week days will be pretty open and flexible. Dogs are welcome in my home because my three roommates and i all have dogs at home and are able to take care of the dogs when one of us is unable. the dog will be taken on walks and be surrounded by love and attention. The dogs will be fed per their schedule and be active during the day accompanying me on my daily activities.
“Jess was amazing with Coco! Made me feel super comfortable before dropping her off, was accommodating to Coco’s nuances, and provided updates throughout her stay! Coco took to Jess and her family immediately, and loved playing with the other dogs! Highly recommend :)”


About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with several dogs and have spent years learning how to care for them and understand their personalities. I’ve also dog sat for others, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. I truly love being around dogs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I just graduated from The Boston Conservatory! I will be living in Boston for the summer, which allows for my schedule to be more open now that I am not in school. If there any schedule changes it shouldn't be too much of a problem! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always keep dogs closely supervised, securely leashed during walks, and follow each owner’s instructions for routines and care. I treat every dog with patience, attention, and lots of love to make sure they feel safe and happy!

“Andreas took such wonderful care of our small doodle. He seems to genuinely love dogs, and our pup had a great time staying with him. He also sent along many photos and updates of their day. 10/10!”

“Amazing dog sitter! Went above and beyond while I was out of town. Felt totally confident that my pups were safe & well looked after. Will definitely be sending them to her again in the future. Thank you so much Sanskriti!”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities. I had my black lab for 16 amazing years, and after recently saying goodbye, I truly miss the snuggles, companionship, and joyful energy a dog brings into a home. While I’m not quite ready to commit to having another dog full time, I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. For the past 6 years, I’ve also pet sat friends’ dogs in my home, so I’m very comfortable creating a safe, loving, and welcoming environment for visiting pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’m here to help. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll make sure they’re treated with patience, affection, and care every step of the way. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule. I can be remote or in office, so I can be on your dog’s schedule. Morning walks starting as early as 6am and then every 2-4 hours depending on your dog’s individual needs. We have a very small fenced in yard, a large park and a fenced in dog park nearby. We currently do not have any pets or children in the home, so if you board your dog they will be a vip guest! There are about 15 stairs to get to our 2nd floor apt, but smaller dogs can be carried as needed and I have years of experience assisting my large lab up and down the stairs as he got older.
“Julie was absolutely wonderful! Our dog can be quite anxious, but we could tell by his demeanor when he came home that Julie made him feel very comfortable and cared for! We'd love to have Dodge stay with Julie again, and we are very grateful for the updates and great care Dodge received!”

“Lee ann and her family were a great help watching my dog. He loved playing in the snow with them and cuddling all night. He is always happy to hang out with them.”

“Sarah is the BEST dog-sitter I've had the pleasure of working with, and I've worked with many. She shared photos of my hound Roscoe and provided frequent updates, which I really appreciate, and gave me a report card summarizing his visit. I will definitely use Sarah again and can confidently recommend her to others.”


“I knew Budi would enjoy staying with Emily & Rob right off the bat (during our "meet & greet"). Sure, Budi was so sad when I left, but this couple soon put Budi at ease with the way they treated her. She may not have barked at all, in fact they didn't hear her bark until I showed up to get her, but they kept her comfortable, treated her very well & appropriately & I'm sure even talked to her to keep her going. It's for sure I'll book with them again!!! Bonnie & Budi”
“Hyejee took great care of our dog for 7 days, even while he was coughing. She was patient, attentive, and very kind, which gave us real peace of mind. We truly appreciate her care and would happily book her again!”

Gil was great! He looked after our 55lb hound mix for a full week. He was super communicative and sent proactive updates and photos throughout, so we were never worried about her. She also clearly had a great time based on how she was when we got her home (and based on all the photos, which showed lots of pets, playtime, and activity). She was happy and healthy and we would definitely book with Gil again in the future!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Being on a 24-hour shift at the firehouse can be stressful, but Karina put my mind completely at ease. She was an excellent communicator, sent great photo updates, and checked in regularly. I was especially impressed that she successfully fed my picky eater. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again.
Lailoo was so great with our 2 year old puppy Harry. It was so nice getting updates throughout the day along with pictures to see what they were up to and how he was doing with her. Bathroom and feeding updates were great for us too so we know his state when we get home! She played with him and walked him and made sure he was hydrated in this heat wave! I completely trust her with any future dog sits!

We couldn’t be more pleased with the care Michelle and her son extended to Clare. Michelle exuded confidence right off the bat as a pet lover. And when our flight was delayed, she was non-pulsed when we needed her to keep Clare for an extra, unplanned overnight. We look forward to calling on Michelle again!

Lauren has watched our sweet but needy and anxious pup several times. She is always very responsive and accommodating. She takes great care of her so much so we don’t worry a bit while away, even when gone for a long weekend. We’re moving to the other side of town and actually considering traveling to keep Lauren as a sitter. 5 stars!

My dog loved staying with Gina. He usually has a difficult time being separated from us, but she made him feel comfortable and secure from the very beginning. He seemed completely at home in her care, which made the transition remarkably easy for both him and our family. Gina is clearly very experienced with dogs, and she took exceptional care of Parker. We felt confident knowing he was in such capable and caring hands.
