“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Katie was great! Super responsible and so good with Betty. Kept me updated with pics and Betty seemed comfortable with her right away. Will definitely request Katie again!”
“Victoria (Rev) did a fantastic job and I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. She was easy to communicate with prior to & during her stay and sent frequent updates and pictures of the pups. She stayed in my home & left it very clean- She even took out the trash which I didn’t expect her to do annd appreciated. My pups are kind of high maintenance (2 Maltese) & Rev did a fantastic job taking care of them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
“We have two pets that require daily meds (multiple times a day) and Tommy was enthusiastic to learn and care for them. He was always on time and extremely communicative. We got daily pics of our babies too which was a massive plus for us. Thanks again, Tommy!”
“Eleanor has taken care of our cats and house a couple of times while we've been away and she does an amazing job - she is great at communicating, leaves the house immaculate and takes wonderful care of the cats! We always return home to very happy kitties.”
“I couldn't have asked for a sweeter and more caring sitter than Claudia!! Our fur-baby is our angel and she absolutely ADORED Claudia the moment she met her - my heart overflowed with relief and happiness knowing Claudia would be caring for her. Thank you for everything, Claudia!!!!”
“Ella is amazing. She takes amazing care of our dog Chessy. She updates us consistently and we 100% trust her with longer stays to keep him safe and happy. She’s the best!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Ailise! She helped me out last minute this weekend, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment we connected, she was responsive, kind, and genuinely caring with my dogs. It was such a relief knowing my pups was in great hands while I was away. Ailise went above and beyond with updates, photos, attention to detail, and making sure my dogs felt loved the whole time. You can truly tell she cares about animals and treat them like family. I came home to happy, relaxed dogs and I’m so grateful for the care and flexibility she provided on short notice. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Angie is the best ever!! Not only is she amazing with my puppy, but she also takes the best care of my space and I come home to a well taken care of pup and a spotless apartment! She also constantly keeps me updated throughout her stay which is amazing :)”
“Jackie was very professional and sweet with Willie- she took great care of my apartment and was great at staying in touch with me while I was away. Absolutely will book with her again!”
“An amazing sitter! Ana Sofia checked in regularly, and sent pictures along with a daily summary. I felt very sure all of our animals were in great hands. One of my cats was prescribed an oral medication and Ana Sofia was able to continue with the treatment plan while I was gone. I will be returning for future pet sitting needs!”
“Belen was a wonderful sitter for our 80 lb German Shepherd puppy. She’s personable and has a kind and calm personality - perfect for our energetic guy. We highly recommend Belen and will book her the next time we visit Boston.”
“Cynthia watched our 2 Boxer pups in our home over the weekend. She sent pictures regularly and our pups seemed to really like her. She left our home in the same manner it had been when she got there and cleaned up after herself. She was a great guest and dog sitter. We have already booked with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Isabella took very good care of my two Boston Terriers. She communicated with us regularly and sent lots of pictures. Both my girls looked they they were having fun while we were gone. I would highly recommend Isabella and would certainly use her again.”
About: I adore dogs but with a busy career and a teenager with bazillion sports, I prefer to get my dose of canine love through dog sitting! As an educator by trade, I treat the dogs I care for with lots of love. Dogs don’t talk back and it is so much more pleasant 🙂 I am an educator by trade and have summers off, so I’m looking to add some local dog sitting gigs while I have extra time off. I have two small balconies in my condo, and have boarded dogs in my home for up to 6 weeks while dog mom travels. I also do drop ins and have much more flexibility in the summer.

Tommy’s been helping care for my high-maintenance and anxious dog Juju for a few months now and he’s taken amazing care of her and gone the extra mile to be responsive and flexible. He’s super responsible, experienced, and absolutely loves dog. Juju adores him. I’m grateful to have established this relationship and will be working with Tommy in the future!
Cyn took excellent care of our 3 small dogs in our home while we were away on a 5 day trip. Our Morkie takes awhile to warm up to strangers but Cyn was eventually able to get her to go on walks with the rest of the pack. We received updates and photos every day, walks to the nearby park and throwing the ball for our mini Aussie (sorry he doesn't retrieve the ball!). While our dogs were excited to see us return, they went right back to their normal behavior soon after. This is the main reason we hired Cyn to stay in our home and know she took special care of our loved ones. Upon picking up our mini aussie after boarding with a local business, he was "shell shocked" for a day or 2 after which is exactly why we are so grateful to have found Cyn as a caretaker.
I was scrambling last min and Irichiya really came through. Even with my less than ideal logistical options she was flexible and reliable. While the pup was very nervous, he was so well taken care of by her patience and attention to his needs. Would absolutely work with again!
Stacy was absolutely wonderful sitting for my anxious and playful dog while I was out of town. She was highly communicative, flexible, and always went above and beyond. I could not recommend Stacy's services more highly and will surely count on them to watch my dog again in the future!
Katie did a great job. She took the time to get to know us, as well as Maisie and Jack and their routines. She made sure to do this before she came to care for them. Maisie and Jack are two senior pups and what they need most is comfort and companionship. It was clear that Katie offered them all of that and more. They were quite content when we came home, which is the best sign of success. Katie kept us posted during our trip with updates and funny videos that made us feel better about being away. The house was perfect and we stepped back in as if we never left. She was very thoughtful about everything. I hope that the next time we travel Katie is available again. Thank you Katie, you made our wonderful get-away worry-free!
