“Mike was communicative, adherent to our schedule, and followed all instructions requested of him. He also sent a ton of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was refreshing to just be able to enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend him to others (just not during the times I’m away 😉)”


“Leigh is an amazing pet sitter! She sent daily reports with photos of my fur babies. One of my kitty’s is a little shy but Leigh got her to come out from hiding which means a lot! Highly recommend trusting Leigh with your fur babies !”


“Finnian was available last min and responded super quickly which is always great in a pinch but not expected. He was open to all my directions for my new puppy and comfortable dropping in without meeting her and not knowing what to expect. Took adorable pics and sent great notes! I do the job full time and so far I’m happy I found him :)”


About: My passion for animals has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Whether its a lizard like my pet bearded dragon or fluffy dog, I've never encountered a creature that didn't make my heart melt. Growing up with my German Shepherd, Roxy, gave me years of hands on experience caring for her from her energetic puppy days through her senior years with hip issues. I’ve also had the opportunity to house sit and care for friends’ dogs and cats, each with their own personalities and needs. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to adjust care based on a pet’s age, temperament, and physical abilities. Whether it’s providing an engaging walk for a high energy dog or offering gentle, attentive care to an older pet, I always strive to make each animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my part-time job. Since my work schedule varies, I’m often available on different days throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I use this flexibility to make time for pet care and ensure I can give each pet the attention and consistency they deserve. I plan ahead to avoid overbooking and to be fully present during walks, visits, or over night stays. Providing reliable, compassionate care is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent experience. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, rest, and play, and I adjust my care based on their age, energy level, and personality. For walks, I make sure each outing is not just exercise, but also mentally engaging and enjoyable. I walk at their pace, pay attention to their comfort, and prioritize safety at all times. Whether it’s an overnight stay or a fun, focused walk, I aim to give your pets the attention, patience, and care they deserve.

“Felix took great care of my cat while I was away! He was super reliable, had great communication, and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind. My cat seemed happy and well cared for when I got back. Would definitely book with Felix again!”


About: I've grown up taking care of pets; my childhood cat and my cousin's dog. I've cared for my neighbor's animals and currently have both a cat and a dog. My family and I trained my dog at home and I can help reinforce any training you're doing with your animal. I'm currently a college student in Boston and I'm looking to walk or sit pets as a part-time job and stay connected to my love for animals! During the winter and summer break, I have few commitments and can be very flexible with my hours and your pet's needs. I can do long walks for dogs, feed, play, clean up, and other general needs for both cats and dogs! I'm happy to send photo updates throughout the day if sitting or have flexible hours with whatever time your dog is typically walked!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid and hold them very dearly in my heart. I understand and respect that everyone's dog is incredibly special to them, and I aim to provide a level of care (and head pats) that reflects this. I am currently between jobs, as I am studying in order to make a career change, so my schedule is basically wide open. Although I have regular life responsibilities, I am happy to accommodate your time needs to the best of my ability. I have a large, fenced in yard with ample room for zoomies and we'll as heating that runs through the floor which my beloved Maggie loved, although she has since passed.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child as my mother owned several animals throughout my childhood. I have a passion for caring for animals as I have two of my own, who are extremely spoiled and well loved. You can trust that your fur babies are in good hands, as I will be sure to accommodate to every request and need that your pup/cat may need. I currently work full-time as a baker, early morning, so after 2 PM I’m free for the rest of the day! I would love to do something productive with that time, as well as make some connections with pets/owners along the way. I do not offer in-home services, due to the fact that I have my own pets. I can provide homemade treats, as I stated above I’m a baker so everything is made with natural ingredients! I can offer services as far as check ins, walks, feed appointments, playtime, etc. I will be sure to keep in contact with clients, and update them on their pet. Any concerns I may have will be immediately reported to the client, unless it is an emergency situation, (which both the client and nearest animal Hospital will be contacted). I’m a very flexible individual, as long as communication is there I have no problem meeting the needs my clients may have!


“Elizabeth was very friendly and our cat was so happy we got home. Elizabeth promptly set up a meet and greet so we could review everything before we left. She asked us good questions and followed the directions left. She even snuggled a little extra with our cat. We would definitely book her again!”


About: What sets me apart is that I’m a certified dog trainer with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of breeds over the years. I’ve had dogs of my own and currently share my life with a beautiful Pitbull-mix named Thor. I truly understand the challenges of balancing a busy schedule while trying to train your pup or meet their everyday needs. My goal is to alleviate that stress by providing reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable support to both you and your dog. I currently work full-time, so my availability will primarily be on weekends, though I may have some flexibility during the week. If needed on weekdays, I can mainly assist with walking, house visits, or training sessions. I will do my best to accommodate the needs of both my clients and their pups. If there are any special requests, please let me know in advance so I can prepare accordingly and follow any preferences you may have.

“She was amazing! The dogs are spoiled now with such long walks twice a day! The picture updates she took were great and I could tell my dogs were very happy every day. I would 100% use this service again and recommend her”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Lots of experience in caring for dog and dog walking. I also have experience in caring for a pet after surgery and administering medication. I understand how important it is for your dog to be comfortable while you are away from home. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. Those days I would be available for dog walking or checking in on your pet. Could do in-home sitting, preferably on weekends, but should be able to fit weekdays schedule also. I would be caring for your pet in your home. This would make them the most comfortable being in their own house. I will try to stick to the same routines that the owner does.

We treat them just like children, always aware and attentive.

Megan S.
“Megan is the type of individual you want caring for your pet. She has watched our two corgis numerous times and treats them as if they were her own. They always run to her with excitement. She is reliable, responsible and caring. We feel completely at ease knowing they are in good loving hands while we are away. She has an attention to detail which is so appreciated now that our one corgi is senior and requires more attention, interactive play time and cuddle time. She herself loves the outdoors and is great handling them on leash. It is reassuring to us knowing that she has them out walking getting the necessary exercise. Once you meet Megan you'll feel confident that your pet will be well taken care of by a loving, competent caregiver.”
