“Cassie was wonderful for our beloved Howard! She took such good care of him while we were away, gave him all the love and attention he needed, good walks and was very attentive to his senior dog needs. Thank you so much Cassie!”
About: I have pet and house-sat every summer since I started college. I am very thorough and want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I have worked with anxious dogs, big dogs, stand-offish cats, and generally "problematic" pets. I know that pets thrive on routine so I try and gather as much information on the pet's normal day to emulate that and keep the pet comfortable. I can be as active or chill as needed so your pet can have a good time! I am currently a Ph.D. student at BU. Classes are starting in September and I have weekends free. Once classes start, I would prefer to pet sit on weekends and days I won't be in class (Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays). Keeping your pet safe is my top priority! I have pet-sat many runners and know to keep a watchful eye and strong grip on leashes when out and about. I love taking dogs to dog parks and am not afraid of getting dirty and having fun with your pet! I’m currently not taking classes and have a work from home research program. I can be very flexible with days and times of day. I prefer to work during the weekdays but can really make any time work. I take extra care with pets in my home. I have pet proofed my environment to make sure there is nothing laying about that is unsafe for pets.
“Gloria was absolutely wonderful with the cats and they are very happy! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter! She is kind and genuinely cares about animals and that shines through and was the reason I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care!”
About: Hi we are a happily married couple for 21 years. Joe works for MIT and Fae works part time for a doggy daycare as well as driving a dog bus. We are certified in Pack-Pro Group Management and dog body Language. Also certified in Pet CPR and first aid. Fae is a part time walker and dog bus driver, and we have been boarding dogs in our home for about a year. We live with our two teens who are a big help. It it is a labor of love and something we all enjoy doing together. We treat all our dog guests like they are family! We have an adorable and SUPER friendly mixed pup named Bluto, a cat who thinks he's a dog named Lynx, two fenced in yards and plenty of comfy couches for naps. Your pet will be spoiled and well loved and you will receive plenty of adorable video/picture updates.
“Stephanie was amazing with my crazy (3) dogs. One is a puppy and fearful, and the other two are sweet but a handful. She successfully got all of them to relax, do their thing, and (best part) sent great pictures. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
About: Between the ages of one and three, two very special dogs were introduced to my household. Our first ended up living to sixteen, happy and healthy, aside from deafness, vision loss, and loss of mobility in her back legs. When she passed, my mother, being a long-time dog walker, still decided to host pet meet-ups in our backyard. A few months later, we adopted a cat. And so, I'm grateful to say I've never really been without a pet. Long-time experience in dog walking and short home visits. I've also fostered the occasional dog for some months. Please don't be wary of asking for longer walks; I love them as much as your pet! Summer is a great time to book me. In the fall and early spring, I attend college Mondays through Fridays, but my week is otherwise very open. I can spend up to two hours with your pet, between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on any given day. However, this schedule is definitely flexible- reach out to discuss details! Living by the golden rule, I solemnly swear to touch only that which you've asked me to; no snooping. I don't host dogs at my house, but may take them over to my yard if you and your pet feel comfortable and if the weather allows.
“Jamie did a great job pet-sitting our cat, Cecelia! She was very responsible and definitely made us feel better about leaving our cat home alone for a week. Would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone in need of a sitter!”
About: I would love to have a dog, but I travel too much, so let me love yours! My family had dogs my whole life and I’m the go-to sitter for my friends’ dogs. I work from home and I’d love for your dog to keep me company! I work remotely and have flexibility in my work day, so I will be home with the dog all day and can do potty breaks and walks throughout the day I don’t have any pets and the dog can have access to all parts of my home. I don’t have anything dangerous on the ground for a dog to get into.
“Teri was an exceptional dog walker, sitter and companion for the hours she spent with our 6-month-old pup. Teri comes with a wealth of knowledge about dogs which was so helpful to us. She was punctual, great with communicating, and attuned to our pup the entire time. We received updates, photos and some very helpful advice. We felt so secure leaving our pup in Teri’s hands and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a loving, caring, attentive, and knowledgeable dog walker or sitter!”
“I highly recommend Amber as a cat sitter! I was nervous when I had to leave my two cats for an entire week, but Amber messaged me every day to send updates and pictures. My cats were happy and healthy when I got home. Amber has earned her spot as my go-to cat sitter!”
“So happy to have found Katie! Has great experience with animals, and my dogs warmed up to her right away. Punctual, responsive, and gave me detailed updates while we were away. Thank you!”
“Laura is fantastic - so responsible and punctual and detail oriented, and she has been so understanding and nice about my nutty schedule. Knowing that my dogs are getting a visit from her gives me a great sense of comfort. Thanks so much Laura!”
About: I have the unique perspective of a college education and multiple careers that focused on animal behavior, welfare and care. I grew up working on my families farm and riding horses, before going to school for Conservation Biology, entering field work and research, and since January 2022, being a Zookeeper! I love all animals, big and small, domestic and exotic, and have worked with them the majority of my life. I personally have always had cats, reptiles, rodents and fish as pets, but have always been relied upon by neighbors, friends and family to take care of all their furry (and scaly) friends as well! I also have years of experience with animal training as well, working with both North American River otters and black bears. Training is of special interest to me and while I do have years of practical hands on experience, I hope to pursue official certification soon too. I'd love to give your pets the care, affection and attention they deserve! I'm currently moving to a part time position within my career to allow for more flexibility so I'll have plenty of time to give love to all of your pets. Currently I'll have Wednesdays and Thursdays available, as well as most nights Mom/Tue/Fri/Sat/Sun after 4:30 pm. I do not have the space to board pets in my home as I live in a one bedroom apartment with my partner and our two cats. However I am very outdoorsy and active and would love to take your pet for long walks or hikes in all their favorite places, and I'd be more than happy to provide outstanding care within their own homes!
About: I've been a pet owner and lover all my life and have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals (including a raccoon!) all my life and would love to care for yours! I'm currently retired so I have a very flexible schedule and can care for your pet at my home or yours anytime of the day and any day of the week! I have a fenced in yard that your dog can play in and one small dog (coco!) for them to play with. I can also crate them if that's your dog's routine.
About: I have a diabetic dog at home, who is currently older with hip problems and needs diapering, baths, lifting to go up and down stairs, etc. This has given me Plenty experience and especially with dogs who are in better condition. I have babysat for the neighborhood bulldog a few times. I can use use different leashes, follow a strict feeding regimen, administer oral meds and insulin and walk dogs up to 50 pounds. I am able to help most of the time though I do work mondays and Fridays until 12:15 pm but afterwards am free. Stop by visits would be more convenient for my schedule however I can do overnight dog sitting if requested a few days advance. I do not care for dogs in my own home for the simple reason I have my own dog at home who is very territorial. However in other homes I make sure to leave the home the same way it was before and respect any boundaries given about what to and what not to do while I’m in the home.
About: Hello there! I frequently get asked even though I have this posted- If your dog is aggressive with other dogs I'm unable to host them. My name is Kirsten and I recently lost my fur baby. He was a spunky, fun, Boston Terrier and we had 11 wonderful years together. I'm missing the companionship, snuggling, walks, and getting to spoil him! I'm not quite ready for another dog of my own, but I would LOVE to spoil yours! I had a lot of experience the last couple years with administrating medication and all sorts of special needs for him so I'm comfortable with hanging out with animals needing extra care. My condo has a little yard/porch area for doggies to lounge on in the sun. I do not have other pets. I would prefer to only sit one dog at a time, 2 is ok if the dogs are not wild. My neighbors are sensitive to barking, I cant host dogs that bark constantly when theyre alone. I currently work away from home. Thanks for reading! During the day there's time for walks or hanging out in the fenced courtyard area. I'm home throughout the day. I usually only leave for about an hr. I have a little fenced courtyard but live next to a big, grassy park. The fenced area is secure and I always use leashes outside in the park.
About: I love animals and have fostered countless cats and dogs for the last 40 years. I am sensitive to their overt body language and needs. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can make myself available for last minute care or emergencies, and can be readily reached for updates re the pet I’m caring for. I work for Trusted Pet Sitters and have been taking care of many pets in their homes in that process. I care for cats and dogs in their environment and know how to make them feel safe and loved in their owners’ absence.
About: Dogs have been in my life since I can remember, my dad owned a dog training business when I was younger and I love being around them. I usually work nights so during the day I take out my dog, Prince and We would love to meet some new people and add some new additions to our daily walks I have a two bedroom apartment, with my own dog prince (he’s an African bullmassif) very friendly to be around other dogs but if any conflict happens we have a crate for prince to separate them.

As one of my closest friends for over ten years, I’ve seen how much care and compassion Ariana has for dogs, including my Frenchie named Blade. Affectionately known as Aunt Ariana, she has cared for Blade more times than I can count now, and I always come home to a happy pup who adores her. Ariana has had experience with dogs her entire life and has been the go-to dog sitter for our friend group for years. Whether it’s a quick walk, an overnight stay, or a weekend of full-time care, she handles it all with ease and responsibility. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and communicative — you’ll always get updates, cute photos, and peace-of-mind knowing your dog is in good hands.

“I wholeheartedly recommend Kori as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She is an amazing person with a huge heart and a deep love for animals. Kori has two cats of her own that she absolutely dotes on, and they are a true testament to the kind of care and attention she gives. What really sets Kori apart is her professional experience—she works as a zookeeper at our local zoo, which means she not only loves animals, but she truly understands them. Her patience, kindness, and calm nature shine through in everything she does. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Kori caring for their beloved animals. With her, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in compassionate, capable hands.”
Julie P.
“My 2 dogs, Lucy and Vivian, both miniature Yorkies , love Julie and they are getting very excited when the car pulls in her driveway. I am very conscious who I let babysit my babies since they are seniors and they have separation anxiety, however with Julie they do not even realize when I leave and I appreciate very much that Julie goes beyond what is expected and because of her long experience having dogs herself since childhood, she gives me great advice when it comes to food choices and how to get them to eat , since they seem to get bored with their food easily. We are so glad that we found her and she was able to accommodate our babies when we needed it most.”
Clara R.
“Clara is very kind and caring and this shows through her interactions with animals. She loves all kinds of animals, dogs and cats especially. She does a lot at home for our dog while she’s here for the summer and I’m at work. She walks our dog, who can be complex, needing diapers and assistance with the stairs as well as occasional insulin injections after feeding. Clara is very patient with animals’ needs as well and this I can tell.”
