“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Patti gave our kitten while we were away! She dropped in twice a day for a whole week, always making sure our little one was happy, fed, and loved. Her kindness and attention gave us so much peace of mind, and we could tell our kitten felt safe and cared for. We’ll definitely be booking her again soon—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly loving and reliable pet sitter!”
“Jennifer was great. Very communicative , was interested in my animals and took great care of them. Will definitely use again next time I travel !”
“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!!”
“Nicholas is such a nice guy and so polite and responsive! We really appreciate how well he communicates and takes great care of the cats.”
“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 :)”
“Allison was an excellent sitter! She spent extra time to get to know Gio and communicated with us timely and thoroughly. I would ask her again when we need to. Thank you!!”

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!
“Nora got to watch over my cat Lychee and she did a great job. She sent me updates with pictures on Lychee and he was also comfortable being with her during his stay. She also responds to texts pretty prompt and quick. I recommend booking with Nora!”
“Michael did a great job taking care of my three dogs in my house. He made them all feel special and loved.”
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, and I treat each one as if they were my own. My home features a secure, gated yard where pets can safely play and relax, and as a runner, I enjoy keeping active dogs engaged with plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Whether it’s a game of fetch or a jog around the neighborhood, I make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stimulated. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as a medical student off for the summer, giving me plenty of time and flexibility to focus on your pets needs. In my home, pets enjoy safe, gated yard playtime and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether in my home or a client’s, I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, exercise, and cuddle time included—while keeping them comfortable, happy, and stress-free in a familiar or home-like environment.
“Madison was fantastic! She was very prompt, precise, and very professional while following all of our instructions taking care of our two cats. We are looking forward to having her come again soon for future visits! Thank you Madison!”
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.
“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.”
“Julie is amazing and really helped us out last minute when we needed it. Takes great care of our dogs all while on a freezing cold night! We really appreciate how helpful she has been.”
About: I’ve lived with pets ever since I was a kid and have plenty of experience with my own dog and cats. Along with caring for my own pets, I’m always taking the opportunities to take care of my friends dogs or cats when needed. My love for animals and my responsible and trustworthy character allows for this job to be perfect. I’m extremely reliable and always leave clients on a good note. I am home from college and looking to take care of some adorable pets during my free time! I have mostly open availability all summer :) Treating my client’s home with respect is very important to me. I follow exact directions and assure that their home is left exactly how it was when I first walked in. I’m a very clean person and I always double check to make sure everything is in tact before leaving a client’s home.
“We have used Jamie several times now as a sitter for our 2 cats and she always does a wonderful job! The cats are always happy, healthy, and well taken care of upon our returns. Jamie also follows all care directions meticulously which is a big relief when we need to be out of town. Thank you Jamie!”
“Dina was absolutely great, covering last minute. Trustworthy, reliable and a pleasure to be around, little Lucy loved her. Would absolutely hire Dina again!”
“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.”
“Thanks so much to Jill for caring for our two fur babies while we were out of town. All of the updates and pictures she shared helped us to feel very comfortable leaving our kitties and home in her care.”
