“I cannot stress enough how incredible Guinevere is as a catsitter. She will go above and beyond far past expectations to make sure your little ones are properly cared for while you are gone. The proof that she truly loves your animals in how much your animals will love her. (I almost think my cat was partly disappointed it was me and not his bestie when I came home today)”

“Hennessy should be your first choice! She is trustworthy, reliable, prompt, thorough, transparent, kind, and communicative. She watched my two kitties over a holiday weekend and did a great job keeping us updated. Our cats are very skittish but warmed up to Hennessy in a matter of minutes. All around a wonderful person and professional pick!”

About: I've always had pets in my life, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it's something I truly love. Whether it's going on walks, giving belly rubs, or just spending quiet time together, I enjoy every moment. I believe animals have a special way of showing love, and it's incredibly rewarding to give that love right back. Your pets will be treated like family, with all the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I love getting outside after work and on weekends, and I’d be happy to bring your pet along for walks or runs. Whether it’s a relaxing stroll or some high-energy playtime, I enjoy spending that time outdoors and making sure your pet gets the fresh air, exercise, and attention they need. I believe caring for pets is about more than just feeding and walking—it's about building a trusting relationship with both the pet and their owner. I take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and needs, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and well-being. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own, with dependable care and plenty of love every step of the way.
“I am beyond grateful for the care that Jessica provided! She goes above and beyond sending many pictures/videos and being super sweet with my dog. From the first time they met I knew my dog felt very comfortable with her and from the pics and videos I see he was enjoying his time with her! She is an animal lover to her core, thanks Jessica you’re the best and I highly reccomend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter”

About: I owned a dog since I was 12 years old. I learned a lot about dog behavior and communication cues. I'm able to adapt to all kinds of energy levels and personalities. I enjoy dogs and being around them, having the unexpected moments of joy. I have a dog of my own and typically start my day around 9 am by spending time with him, either playing or interacting. I review client bookings, double-check any instructions provided, and ensure I have gone over them thoroughly. I carry a small notebook to jot down important details to remember for specific clients. During walks, I carefully observe the dog's behavior to understand them better. At the end of each walk, I report back to the owner, clean up the supplies, and prepare for the next walk. I believe all dogs should always be on leashes. I stay attentive to my surroundings and other dogs nearby to ensure the dog feels safe. I'm quick and easy to communicate with, making it simple for dog parents to check in during their dog's walk. After all, as a dog parent, you have the right to know what your dog is up to, or even just to ease the moments when you miss them—and that's perfectly fine too.
“Lalita is the first sitter I contact anytime I am traveling! When I am out of town, I feel at ease leaving my two cats with Lalita because she shows so much care and detail with the check ins and asks a bunch of thoughtful clarifying questions when necessary. She is also a very timely communicator. It's a pleasure to work with her :3”

About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.
About: I’ve been a husky owner my entire life, so I have a special place in my heart for pups with silly, talkative tendencies! I have both walking and home visit experience (as well as handling pets onstage!), and I also have experience with sick and/or senior pets. Though I’m just starting out in my professional pet care journey, I assure you I will pamper your pet with all the love, care, and affection they deserve in our time together!🐶🐾🐱 I’m an actor, so my schedule shifts weekly and stays very dynamic, so the times I’m available may vary. But I make sure to keep myself available for a diverse variety of days/times that you may need my services! I make sure to take time to acquaint myself with all pups so that they know I am a friend they can trust on our walks. I’ll bring treats, water, use preferred paths - whatever I can to make them feel comfortable!
“Sherree was amazing with my shy cats! She had a great demeanor and tended to them well ! Will definitely recommend and book again!! Thanks so much for taking care of my fur babies!”

About: I love animals - I have taken care of kittens, old dogs, and everything in between. Having grown up with dogs and cats all my life in Western Massachusetts, I am used to a pet friendly environment and used to treating animals like they’re apart of your family. I work from home in finance with a lot of time to spare! I can provide them a lot of attention and walk them as many times as needed. I try to make each day special for them when they’re in my care. I love to introduce myself and try to get pets to warm up to me while playing. Treats sometimes help depending on the owner’s preference. If they’re in a new environment, I would give them a quick tour and provide them with a place to lie down. After developing trust, a quick walk and some food should solidify that further.

“Hannah did a fantastic job looking after our pup in our home for 10 days while we were on vacation. Hannah asked great questions about Lola's temperament during our visit and was even able to calm her down during a thunderstorm - no small feat! I appreciated the frequent updates and Lola clearly enjoyed all of her walks and playing fetch. Hannah also kept our home in great shape. We'll definitely hire Hannah again!”

About: My senior Staffordshire/Fox Hound mix recently passed away and I miss the camaraderie, fun, and smell of a dog. My husband and I had a pet-sitting business before we got too busy with our careers, Each of us had a dog and cat growing up; I had a bunny and a turtle. Our own dog was certified as a therapy dog who visited local nursing homes. I need more pets in my life. I have a flexible schedule. I’m retired and, in addition to caring for pets, I will be tutoring kids with dyslexia or other learning challenges. I always keep pets in my care leashed (even in areas where unleashed pets are allowed. I don’t take pets to the dog park even though we have a big beautiful one near me. You just never know what could happen. I take leashed dogs on long walks where appropriate and play as much as they like. I care for pets as instructed.

“David is fantastic! He is our go to guy to take care of Bev and Paul! He takes fantastic pictures of the cats, in addition to taking such expert care of them. We know that they are in good hands when we go out of town, and recommend David enthusiastically!”


“Very pleased with the care and attention Tasha gave to my babies. I left detailed notes to which she followed. Highly recommend Tasha to care for your furbabies.”

“Allison is wonderful. Lotus loves her. Very punctual and goes an extra mile in making sure lotus is well comfortable. Followed all of instructions and kept in touch sharing the info regularly. Would definitely hire her again.”
