About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and puppies thanks to my dad, a responsible dog breeder. Caring for dogs was a big part of my life from an early age, and I gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities. I grew to love cats as well when my best friend adopted two cats and we all lived together for several years. Since then, I've had the pleasure of pet sitting for puppies, dogs, and cats for friends, family, and clients. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away. As an animal lover who's new to the Boston area and currently unable to have pets in my apartment, pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to spend time with animals while helping pet owners travel or work with peace of mind. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. When petsitting at your home, I can be there all day if you have wifi and a place for me to use my laptop, or I can pop in during the day and stay overnight. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, going on regular walks, playing, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes are secure, and I closely supervise pets during walks and outdoor time. I also understand the importance of following any instructions you provide regarding your pet's care, behavior, or medical needs. When staying in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I'm tidy, responsible, and communicative, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

“Very professional, thoughtful and thorough services! I was very happy that I was able to leave my dog home without any worry and he was taken care of very well! Parker (although not into people much) seemed to really like James's energy and went out with him no problem. I hope we will be able to use James' services in the future.”

About: My green flag is, pets love to be around me. I've been taking care of my friend's pets for two years and they love me. I am currently open to work with your schedule. I am free 5 days of the week. Preferably after noon, but I am very flexible I work through pet owner's needs. I try to understand pet's personality. I allow pets to be themselves around me. Safety and care comes first.

“Kristen has been an absolute lifesaver for our 3 dogs that she manages so well. She took the time to do a thorough meet-and-greet to understand their specific needs, and her patience and calm demeanor have made a huge difference. For the first time, I feel completely at ease leaving them. Kristen’s communication is top-notch, and we couldn't be happier with the service."”

“Devin has been great with my pup from the start. He is dependable, kind, and responsible. My pup took to him immediately, which is always a good sign! I know my pup is well cared for when Devin is walking him, and I appreciate how trustworthy and consistent Devin has been. I’m truly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to care for your fur baby as well!”

About: Hi! I recently graduated from UConn with a degree in Animal Science, and I’m currently on the pre-vet track with plans to attend veterinary school. I have a strong background in animal care, including working as a veterinary technician for two summers and spending time working on a barn last year. I’ve also grown up with my own dog and have extensive experience pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors, and friends. I am able to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I understand the importance of making sure that pets stay active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Right now, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, except Sundays. As the summer goes on, I plan to work part-time, but I’ll still have plenty of availability to dedicate quality time and attention to your pets. I truly love working with animals and am very passionate about ensuring that they are safe and comfortable. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I work part-time and have flexible afternoons during the week. I’m able to consistently make time for walks, drop-in visits, and giving pets the attention and care they need I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of time outside, exercise, and play. I also prioritize giving them attention and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet is different, especially senior pets who may require extra care or specific routines. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, including medications, feeding schedules, or any special needs, to make sure your pet stays healthy, and safe.

“Nicole was wonderful! We are generally nervous whenever someone new is watching our 2 frenchies, but Nicole’s attention to detail from the very beginning (asking about allergies/making sure she knew how to put on their harnesses properly and securely) calmed all of our worries. She spent extra time with Lola and Popo to make sure they felt comfortable with her and honestly provided them with A+ care. Will definitely use her services again! 100% recommend to anyone needing pet care.”

“Nathan is great, he's attentive and caring with Maddie. He doesn't let her quirks bother him and actively integrates our training methods creating a safe and consistent walking environment for both of them. Would highly recommend and use again!”

About: I have had pets since I was a child including birds, guinea pigs, ferrets, cats and dogs. My condo is too small for a pet so I love taking care of pets for family and friends! I work from home 3 days a week so I am able to pet sit or take care of your pet most days of the week. I love to cuddle with animals so they feel comfortable without their owner. I am also very attentive to bathroom breaks and if your pet has something they are not supposed to have.

“Julie , was wonderful keep posing the walks with a picture! Set up a good schedule and stuck with it! Would ask her again if needed !”

Linda D.

About: I have over 30 years experience with dogs and have provided reliable care for multiple pets. I am able to walk and care for your pets like they are my own. I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule allowing me to check in on your pets during the day with the ability to overnight sit throughout the week. I always follow the safety guidelines and preferences set by my clients, creating a trustworthy environment where you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands.

“Jamie clearly takes his responsibilities seriously and takes the utmost care of our dog. As first time dog owners, we were nervous to leave our pup in someone else’s care, and how our pup would react to someone else being in the home. Those nerves quickly vanished, and we as well as our puppy enjoy having Jamie come over to walk him and care for him. He is very professional and very caring toward our dog, which is all we could ask for!”
