“Jen was very sweet, what can I say? We left our car hiding under the bed, as she had pretty stressful couple of weeks before our departure, and we came back to a very happy and relaxed cat. Thank you Jen for taking care of her and making sure she felt safe !”


“dominique is attentive, punctual and communicative. i have absolutely no worries while my dog is in her care. she loves my girl and the feeling is mutual!”


“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 :)”


“Trixie is opening right up to Leigh! She's normally very reserved around new people. It's so great that she's so chatty so quickly—it's a very positive sign. :)”


“Thank you so much! Nicholas went above and beyond for Harvey and even took him out to play with his favorite ball! Your attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed! Thank you again!”


“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!!”


“Madison did a wonderful job with our Suzy! She was very professional, responsive, and thorough over the course of the job. Thank you for everything!”


“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 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 is awesome . I had requested her to check in on my dog and she did a fantastic job, obviously love hanging out with pets. I would highly recommend Nora to care for your pet 10/10!”


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.”


About: I’ve taken care of 5 family dogs from puppyhood to later stages of life as well as dog sat for family friends and other family members. I currently work full time but I get home around 3pm most days. I normally get home and take my puppy Robin on a two mile walk and run. I care for Robin with a fenced in small yard and using the crate for when me and my fiancée are out. I would take care of your dog in whichever way you need.

“Excellent and so very responsive to scheduling. What a relief to have Dina take care of my pups. They love her visits and get a good run in the middle of the day. Highly recommend Dina.👍”



About: My family has always had at least one pet. As a child, we had a mutt until I was 6, then when I was 16 we adopted a Golden. My brother now has a loving, excitable Whippet mix, and my sister and brother-in-law have two pit bulls who I am in love with. In the city, I can't afford to have a dog so sitting for someone's pooch would be the next best thing. I come from a respectable background, 12 years of Catholic School, and have a Graduate degree as well. I'm an Actor, Voice-Over Artist and Producer. I have two sweet cats that I’ve always taken very good care of for the past 10 years. The three of us have been through everything together. I always try to keep them on a routine when it comes to feeding and I grew up with dogs where we practice the same type of schedule. I take pets and owner and people safety very seriously. We all love our pets so much and I would never ever want anything to happen. At home, I keep vigilance and make sure my cats are never around anything that could harm them. For example I have one cat who is obsessed with plastic bags, but I will never leave him alone with one..

About: I’ve had my Sheepadoodle for 7 years, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals, so I’m happy to help when you need someone reliable to walk your dog. I am currently taking a summer class 3 days a week early in the morning so I am availed most times of the day and anytime on the weekends. In my home, I provide a safe and calm environment with plenty of attention and playtime. I have a friendly Sheepadoodle who gets along well with other dogs. I also have a crate available if needed, whether for a safe resting space or for pets who are used to sleeping in one.

About: What truly sets me apart is my lifelong dedication to animal care and the unique blend of patience, responsibility, and individualized attention I bring from my 24 years as a teacher. I've been a devoted dog caregiver for over 14 years, most recently to my beloved Bichon-Poodle, JJ. This personal experience has deeply ingrained in me the understanding that pets aren't just animals—they're cherished family members with unique personalities and needs. As a teacher with 24 years of experience, my summers off give me dedicated time to focus on caring for dogs. This fits perfectly into my routine when school is out. I'm very attentive to how I care for pets, both at my home and in a client's home. I make it a point to follow all specific instructions for your pet's feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. For example, I ensure dogs are always leashed during walks and kept in a secure environment to prevent any risks or dangers. Your pet's safety and comfort are my main concerns.
