Pet care experience

Grad student and Knitter loves dogs

I am a grad student (remote) and love hanging with pets. I can't have pets at my apartment but I really love dogs so this is my way of staying connected to animals. I started watching my neigbors dogs and cats as a favor a few years ago and then I got on the trusted house sitters app so I could travel and hang with pets. Now I am living and working on the north shore and would love to take your dog our during my after work walk or hang with them at your house!

August is an amazing dog sitter! She is incredibly reliable, loving, and attentive. I hate to leave my pup but I can tell my dog always feels so comfortable and happy in her care. I highly recommend August to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.

August is the best! She took such great care of my cat Ophelia while I was off island. She sent lots of updates and photos, which was awesome cause it's sooo hard for me to leave her for long periods of time. Plus, she left my place even cleaner than when I left it, which was such a nice surprise! I honestly don’t think I’ll ever trust anyone else to watch Ophelia, August is my go to cat sitter now!

August is an ideal dog sitter. She shared updates regularly and gave our spoiled pup lots of love. August is caring, sweet, reliable, responsible, responsive, trustworthy, and communicative. I am grateful for her!

Would love to walk the dog or watch them for you for a few days! I am very reliable and have house sat for many friends and neighbors in the past few years.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot have pets at my house. But I love taking care of pets and your home! I feel confident in my cleanliness, attention to detail and love of animals and clean spaces to make sure your home is safe for the pets and clean once your return home.

A typical day

I love to snuggle, play and make sure every pet gets attention and a workout every day. Spending time together is essential for their happiness.
