I'm a Northeastern Student living in the South End and absolutely love animals. I grew up with cats and dogs and miss my pets while I'm at school so I love hanging out with yours! I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with no other pets. I am unable to board dogs but can definitely board a cat in my home. I am also more than happy to hangout with them in yours!

Information Willow S. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any specific needs or behaviors I should be aware of, please let me know! (ie unfriendly with other dogs, can't do stairs etc.) I want to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I like to meet the pet and understand what they like, whether they need to get some energy out outside or just cuddle on the couch! Whatever makes them most comfortable.

Pet care experience

I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 14. My neighbors, friends, and family have entrusted me to walk, feed, and provide companionship for their pets. Having grown up with cats and dogs, I love hanging out with yours when I'm away from home!

I highly recommend Willow. She took a last minute booking and was very prompt and took great care of my pups. She was very patient with my most sensitive guy who is anxious.

Willow was an incredibly thoughtful, diligent and proactive dogsitter for my little mutt Martini! She went out of her way to come meet us first before the home stay so that she could learn about Martini’s quirks, preferences, and ensure that Martini felt super comfortable with her which she did right away! While I was away, Willow shared a ton of great updates about Martini and was super communicative about how everything was going and making sure I was totally in the loop with everything which was so comforting since I was in another country for a trip. I can tell Martini absolutely loved Willow as she cried and whimpered when she left, but we hope to have her come back and watch Martini again sometime soon!!! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a super professional, compassionate, responsible and loving sitter for your fur babies!!!

Willow is the best! So sweet, super responsive, and extremely easy to work with. Our dog loves her - can’t wait to book with her again!

Willow was EXCEPTIONAL in every way to work with as a dog sitter for our 2 year old Bijon Frise Charlie! Her wonderful communication with us, professionalism, attention to detail, and overall friendliness put us at ease every moment we were away. Willow also took wonderful care of Charlie. She asked us all the right and specific questions ahead of time to ensure he was cared for exactly as we wanted. She followed all our instructions meticulously, checked in and gave us updates, and made sure Charlie had everything he needed - walks, rest time, his food, snuggles, playtime, etc. We used Willow during a very important trip for my son's college graduation and she gave us 100% peace of mind to be able to enjoy the event and know Charlie was in the best hands. I cannot recommend her enough if you need a walker or sitter daytime, overnights, etc. You and your pup will be lucky to have Willow!
