1. Sabrina S.
“Sabrina was fantastic! I was traveling for vacation/work and needed help in an odd situation. Sabrina took it all in-stride and took great care of my girls, making sure they got walked, fed, and snuggled while I ran around for work. Will definitely call again - and recommend to friends - in Boston!”
2. Matisse N.
“Matisse was so kind, capable, and professional. She watched my scaredy rescue two weekends in a row and was very communicative when any issues arose. Coming home to a tidy apartment was an added bonus :)”
3. Emma L.
“We recently had the pleasure of having Emma house sit and take care of our beloved dog, Tobias. From the moment we met Emma, we knew Tobias was in good hands. Her warm approach and genuine love for animals shone through. During our time away, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which greatly eased our minds. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for Tobias. Emma's attention to detail and exceptional care were so impressive that we didn't hesitate to book her for another house sitting right away. Highly recommend Emma for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house and pet sitter!”

9. Andey D.
“Andey was a such a great house sitter for Beanie! She was so caring and patient for our 13 week old puppy which can be a very demanding schedule at times. We very much appreciate her openness to just going with the flow for the weekend and helping to continue with the puppy training (and then some!). We will definitely keep Andey on our short list for the future.”
10. Sevtap D.
“Sevtap is the perfect dog-sitter. Our two pugs are shy with new people and VERY attached to us. When we arrived home after Sevtap’s stay with them, they tried to prevent her from leaving! That’s about as gold-star a review as a dog owner can hope for. It is so wonderful to come home to really happy dogs. Plus the house is immaculate — looks better than we left it! Amazing dog sitter. Just amazing.”
11. Rachael B.

12. Ava K.
“Ava is the best of the best! This is the second time Ava cared for our sheltie Pepper and she continues to "wow" us! Ava cared for Pepper in our home for over 3 days. She is reliable, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator. She arrived on time and provided us with timely updates. When we returned, it was evident Pepper was happy and our house was immaculate. I highly recommend Ava. Thank you, Ava! She did an amazing job. Pepper was well car caring for our”

18. Isabel C.
“Isabel stayed at my apartment and watched my dog while I was on an international trip for 10 days, and she did a great job. Because it was going to be such a long trip, Isabel was willing to do a few walks with my dog beforehand too. My dog is nervous around strangers, but she warmed right up. Isabel sent photos everyday during my trip, and both my dog and the apartment were in great shape when I got home. Highly recommend Isabel for any pet sitting needs you might have!”
19. Stacy B.
“I know Stacy to be a very responsible pet parent herself, and she has not only cared for my pets while I was away, but has also been kind enough to help me transport them to the vet when necessary, which is a big deal because my cats do not do well on car rides. She is incredibly patient and caring, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, while also making sure they stick to their routines. I would 1000% recommend Stacy's services when it comes to looking after pets.”
20. Emma W.
“Emma is an exceptional pet caregiver with a genuine love for animals. Growing up with dogs, Emma understands their needs and quirks, making her an ideal choice for pet sitting. She has looked after my cat on multiple occasions, providing affection and companionship. Emma is reliable and responsible, which gives me peace of mind whenever I'm away, knowing that my kitty is in capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet caregiver!”
