“Jenniffer is the absolute sweetest and you can tell from the jump she absolutely loves animals. My boy is shy, cautious and very timid. She was super patient and played with him. I cant recommend Jenniffer enough. Thank you!”



“Patti took such good care of our girls when we were away for a weekend! It is evident that Patti truly loves and cares for animals and is driven by that passion. I loved the photos she sent and appreciated knowing that our kitties had a good caretaker when we were away. Thank you so much!!”


“Alli has been wonderful! It’s our first time getting a pet sitter for our two kitties and Alli made the whole process very easy! She was very communicative, gave lots of update pics and kept us in the loop so we felt very comfortable having our kitties in her hands! Already booked the next sitting! Would 100% recommend :)”


“Thank you so much for caring for Jingle and Jangle and for watering our garden. You prompt response and willingness to help made us feel we were in good hands. We look forward to having you care again for them soon. Thank you!”


“Kelly was absolutely amazing with my cat, Henry, while I was away for two weeks. She went above and beyond to make sure he wasn’t just taken care of, but truly loved and given all the attention he needed. She sent me the sweetest daily updates with photos—not just of him having fun, but also keeping to his normal routine, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, it was like I had never left—Henry was his perfectly normal, happy self, which just shows how much care and consistency she gave him. Kelly was incredibly communicative, worked around both our schedules, and most importantly, truly bonded with Henry. I’ve never seen him curl up in someone’s lap the way he did with her! It was so clear this wasn’t just a job for her—she really, genuinely cared. I couldn’t recommend her more!”


“Dominique took great care of my two crazy kitties. They were well-fed, happy, and playful when I returned. She even helped take care of my feral kitty. Will be booking again!!”


“Madison is amazing! She is very thorough, detailed, and gets everything completed just as you ask! She is very responsive and you can always reach her via the app or texting! Calvin & Teddy love when she comes as she plays with them every single time. Highly recommend her for your rover!!”

“I was very happy with the care that Kimberly provided for my three cats. She was thorough with the daily report and supplied me with pictures every day which were great! The time she was there worked out for daily feedings. Everything was perfect. I will definitely have Kimberly take care of my cats next time I am away. I highly recommend her!”


“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 :)”


“Nora is awesome! She cared for our cat and really made him feel relaxed and comfortable, even right after our cat’s recent diabetes diagnosis requiring twice daily insulin injections. It’s clear she truly cares for and forms genuine connections with the pets she looks after. and we totally appreciated her photo and message updates while we were away!”


“Dawn gave my cat great care. We have been struggling with a new diagnosis of thyroid disease and the past month has been difficult. She stepped right up and gave me peace of mind when leaving her. Zena and I thank you.”


“everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.”


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’ve cared for cats and dogs most of my life and really enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Caring for my senior dog Benji during his later years taught me a lot about patience and paying attention to the little things that make a big difference in their comfort and happiness. I’m gentle and patient with shy or nervous pets and enjoy creating calm, low-stress environments. But I’m also happy to play and engage with energetic pets to help them burn off energy and feel satisfied by the end of our visit. I’m comfortable administering medications and always treat pets and their homes with respect and care. I work full time during the week, so most of my availability is in the early mornings (6-9 am), evenings (after 5:30 pm), and weekends. There can be some flexibility there if we work it out ahead of time :) I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine as much as possible, and I make sure they still get plenty of attention and care during the times I’m with them. If your pet needs a consistent schedule, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. When I visit your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable by following their routine closely, keeping their space clean, and paying attention to anything that might seem off. I always double check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

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.

“Brittany is soo detailed with her work, and follows the directions to the point in order to take care of your furr babies. She is literally the best! Her compassion and care for pets is commendable. This was my second booking with her, and I know I don't have to look any further in future.”


About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats with the same dedication and heart. From fostering dogs, rescuing strays, to working at a dog daycare, and ensuring street cats have food and warmth, I’ve seen it all. Whether it’s cuddling with a cat or keeping a playful pup entertained, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. With me, your furry family members are always in good hands—because their happiness is my top priority! Let’s make their day a little brighter! I’m a full-time college student with classes on Mondays and Thursdays, so I have plenty of free time throughout the rest of the week to shower your pets with love and attention! I’m available for overnight care on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and I might even be able to accommodate weekends if needed. I make sure to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get all the care and attention they deserve! I prioritize creating a safe and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. My home is fully pet-proofed, with a fenced backyard where dogs can play safely, and a cozy sunroom that’s perfect for relaxation and sunbathing. I make sure all pets have a designated space where they can feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re energetic or prefer quiet time. When it comes to walks and playtime, I adjust to each pet’s individual needs, making sure they get the right amount of exercise and attention. In my community, we have two large pet-friendly islands, perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. I make sure that I am always attentive, providing fresh water, monitoring their health, and using positive reinforcement to build trust with your pet. For in-home visits, I follow all specific instructions to maintain their routine and ensure they feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I treat each pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and cared for, whether in my home or yours.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog Autumn for 15+ years and have two cats I love and adore, Handsome and Poe. I’m currently working at a dog daycare taking care up to 100 dogs a day. Along with that, I have experience with kittens, and general dog walking/watching that i’ve done for friends and family. I also have experience bathing :) My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m looking for a fulfilling yet fun job to get me by! I also love walks and hiking, so if you’re looking for someone to walk your pup I’m your person! I have a fenced in yard, along with a soccer field behind the fence if your dog likes fetch! No children at my home, only 2 cats. I’m very reliable, and I’ve house sat for long periods of time. I’ll respect any and all wishes in your home, and if you need any questions answered to ease any anxiety I am more than happy to answer!
