“I had a phenomenal experience leveraging Stacy for house and pet sitting. I knew from our first meet and greet she would be wonderful and she was! Stacy was thorough, patient, kind and organized. I look forward to using her services again.”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and punctual, and we really appreciated the photo updates she sent of our dogs while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and we’ll definitely be using her again the next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Victoria stayed at my house for 5 days and cared for my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She sent frequent updates and photos and took great care of my dear Nanette. She left the house clean and neat. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and recommend her highly.”
“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 :)”
“Isis was wonderful! She took excellent care of our two cats and home. The cats were happy and the house was left clean and tidy. We also received detailed updates every day, which we appreciated.”
“Angelina was new to house sitting for our 2 large and highly energetic dogs - and she did fantastic! She was highly engaged with the dogs and keeping us informed. We received lots of picture updates and good communication. We have already rebooked her and would recommend to others!”
“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!!!!”
“Jackie was 100%! She was a reliable, caring pet and house sitter and even added an extra day last minute when our plane was rescheduled. The dogs and cat were well taken care of (my picky senior dog even took her pill for her and ate well!) and we got photos and updates daily. She even washed her sheets and cleaned the kitchen before she left. We would totally book her again but I’m guessing she is going to be hard to get!”
“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.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”
“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!”
“Casey was super communicative, thoughtful, and attentive to details throughout the entire process. She genuinely cares about the dogs and it showed. Any dog parent understands the anxiety over leaving their babies with someone new - but Casey really pulled through and was so reliable! The dogs LOVED her. Thank you Casey. You're a gift!”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals since I was a child. Your furry friends are more than just animals; they are genuine family members. I try to be attentive to their individual needs, whether that’s playing or needing specialized care. I work remotely with a pretty flexible daily schedule, which allows me to do errands throughout the day as well as take care of pets. Safety and comfort for your animals are of the utmost importance to me. Your home is their safe space, so I try to bring respect to their environment.
“We used Cynthia again and Al were once again very happy with her care towards our pups. She is very attentive and you can tell how much she cares for them. She is a great communicator and sends lots of pictures.”
“Belkis has stayed with our pup several times and is always fantastic! Our pup loves being with her and she communicates with us daily so we get to see snap shots of their day. Thank you Belkis!”

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!
Amazing pet and house sitter. We felt completely at ease being out of the country while Sofia watched our beagle and stayed at our house. Everything was neat and clean, dog fed and walked, plants watered. Would highly recommend Sofia and hope to hire her again!!

Scottie took amazing care of our doggos. We were able to be away with complete peace of mind that they were in the best of hands. We had nothing but the best of experiences working with Scottie and would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone in the area. The regular updates with pics and videos were so appreciated :)(:
Ella was very professional and responsive to my check ins while house sitting our two pups for 1 week. She sent me daily pictures and updates and saw my two pups literally cuddling with her on the couch which reassured me the dogs were in good care. She was also extremely respectful of my home and left the house in the same shape (if not a little cleaner) than when we left. My dogs and I definitely look forward to working with Ella again in the future
Lizzy, thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog and cats! You were very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, and were super reliable throughout. We really appreciated it and felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Thank you!!!
