“Angela has watched our bunnies multiple times now and we will continue to use her as long as she is available! She is so communicative and takes fantastic care of our babies. She’s the best!”
“Corrina (and Tracy) were great with our dogs, especially one who does not like new people in her space. They followed instructions provided and were communicative during their visit!”
“Jose is awesome! He took care of my cats (Annabelle, Leo, Nash, Teddy, and Raven!) in a last minute pinch. He replaced their litter box as they were down one because it had “broken.” He cleaned the litter box nicely and provided lots of pictures of my little ones! He is very responsive as well which is so important to me. I will definitely be using him in the future.”
“Michael was great taking care of our difficult cat while we were away on vacation. He was very accommodating to her behavior and needs and I felt relaxed on my trip knowing she had someone caring looking over her. I would recommend him to anyone. He send pictures and updates everyday. Just great overall.”
About: Hey! My name's Ray, I live in Boston, and I would LOVE to walk or watch your dog! I have a pup of my own (Shark, who's in my profile pic!) who I love, and have taken care of for over four years now. I have wide-ranging experience with tough pups - reactivity, resource guarding, fear / anxiety / aggression - and am more than willing to learn how I can give your dog the care and attention they need. I have experience in fear-free training, as well as positive reinforcement training. I have extensive knowledge of great dog routes in and around Boston, specifically Jamaica Plain and Charlestown. I work a 9-5 remote job, but I can be flexible! I can walk dogs between 7-9 AM or 5:30 - 8:00 PM EST on weekdays. Weekends are more flexible throughout days and nights! I operate on the fear-free/positive reinforcement model of care. Our pup has reactivity and anxiety issues, so my main priority is establishing trust and understanding how each dog wants to be cared for. These aren't just accessories, they're living creatures with emotions and feelings, but no feeling is too big for me!
“Tam was amazing with our cats, they were comfortable with her during her visits (Mia was sitting on her lap instantly, and that says it all) the photos she shared reassured us they were happy and doing well. Will definitely book with Tam again.”
“Camille was quick to respond, and very kindly helped me through something I was confused over. She was gentle with my kitty, and took excellent care of him while I was away!”
“Jennifer was a wonderful communicator while she looked after my fur family while I was away. They received lots of amazing attention and care and I received wonderful photos. I never had to worry as Jennifer is the most reliable. She’s patient and kind and I highly recommend her!”
“Our two cats loved Tahir! He was communicative, thorough in his notes, fun, and our favorite so far! Thank you so much for taking care of our loved fur babies. His personality is gold and had us laughing at the check-in photos on our vacation!”
“Tibisay took great care of our two cats while we were away. She is very friendly and trustworthy, flexible and took the cats‘ needs to heart. She updated us after every visit and I felt comfortable letting her in out home. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals. During my time in college, I was a veterinary Technician and can administer medicine if needed and more! After working my full time job, I am available for walks and any other activities your pet might need. I work from home and I am very flexible when it comes to overnight care! I know how much your pet means to you, and I treat every furry guest like my own. In my cozy apartment, they’ll enjoy a safe, calm environment filled with affection, playtime, and plenty of walks. You can rest easy knowing they’re cared for, loved, and never lonely while you’re away.
About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.
“Jess went above and beyond taking care of my kitties. When I came home they were happy and healthy. I also loved getting cute pictures of them when I was away from my home.”

About: Hey there! I'm Jovani, and I'm absolutely crazy about cats and dogs. Their well-being is something I deeply care about, and being around them brings me so much happiness. Over the past three years, I've had the incredible opportunity to work at three different veterinary clinics and hospitals. This experience has allowed me to interact with dogs and cats of all kinds of personalities, shapes, and sizes. Not only have I been surrounded by these amazing creatures at work, but I've also had the privilege of growing up with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have two beautiful cats of my own. They've always been considered a part of my family, no matter their size. I currently have a work-from-home part time that gives me the flexibility to be anywhere. It would be an absolute pleasure for me to keep your furry friend (whether it's a pup or a kitty) company and active during the day when you can't be there. I do this already for some of my friends and family who need help with their pets during the week. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and even house sitting. Let me know how I can help! I have a large open yard, when playing outdoors. I will care for your beloved pet in your home following all your wants and needs!

She has more than enough experience in dealing with Dogs & Cats. She has worked as a Veterinary Technician for 4 years & also took care of my dog, Duke. Also, Duke has trust issues and she won him over with her love and caring personality that made Duke very comfortable around her.
