“Yazmine was the absolute best!! She took care of my puppy, who is cute but also a puppy. She kept me abreast of what was happening, helped come up with a strategy to help him sleep in his crate, and played with him endlessly. I could not have asked for a better partner. Thank you!”
“Chenelle was so responsive during her stay. She was available and always answered our texts. Our animals were happy, we received lots of videos, and the house looked great when we got home!”
“Kamryn did an amazing job with our dog. She sent several pictures and videos while she was with him, and took excellent care of him. She even video chatted with us before the visit to get to know our dog. Highly recommend Kamryn!”
“I can’t recommend Erick enough! He watched my dog Shadow over a long weekend and was truly incredible from start to finish. Shadow can be a bit reactive with other dogs and kids, and Erick took the time to meet him beforehand to ensure a good fit. They hit it off right away (the treats definitely helped!). Throughout the stay, Erick was super communicative and responsive, giving me peace of mind while I was away. He went above and beyond- taking Shadow on long walks through our local park, keeping up with his medication, sticking to his feeding and potty schedule, and giving him plenty of playtime and attention. He even used some paw balm on Shadows paws after long walks to keep them nourished and left some for me to use as well. I also came home to a tidy space, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and all-around amazing sitter, Erick is your guy. Shadow is already looking forward to his next stay!”
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.
“Tenielle is great! Our dogs adore her, they were well cared for and our house was well looked after! I appreciated her taking the time to come and meet us before hiring her. She kept in touch with us while we were away and we loved receiving pictures during our trip. Your furry family will be taken care of with Tenielle!”
About: My 3 kids and I run a small business caring for animals mostly dogs. All 3 are in their 20’s. My son, Adam does most of the walks and house sitting, I handle the boarding. My reviews are not only for me but for my boys as well. I come from a long line of animal lovers and grew up with many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters. Animals are my life! They offer unconditional love and rely on us to give them love, affection and to meet all of their basic needs. I own my own home on a private dead end street. When your fur babies are here, they are part of our family and are never left alone. There is always someone at home I recently left my job in the medical field. I’m spending my time now with my adult children and my dogs. Life is too short to not do what you love everyday Safety is a priority in my home and I live on a private street with only two houses so there is absolutely zero traffic here
“can’t recommend Kamilla enough as a petsitter! Nova is usually very reserved and doesn’t like people touching her, but the moment Kamilla arrived, they connected right away. Seeing that bond instantly put me at ease, knowing Nova would be in great hands. Kamilla kept me updated with pictures and regular communication, which made me feel even more comfortable while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and goes the extra mile, Kamilla is the one!”
“Raiysa is a Queen!!! I could not have asked for a better dog sitter for my two rescue dogs!!! They require special care and she went above and beyond. I feel confident in saying that she is, in fact, an animal whisperer. While I was away, Raiysa sent me tons of videos, pics, and updates. If she had a question, she reached out, even just to be safe. I felt so at peace knowing my quirky, needy, attention loving dogs were safely in her hands. Thanks again, Raiysa! Queso and Honey send their love, until next time!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life — including senior pets, high-energy breeds like Brittanys and Vizslas, and even anxious or shy animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with everything from puppy energy to chill couch companions and always aim to make animals feel safe, calm, and cared for. Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m highly flexible and available throughout the week. I work exclusively in clients’ homes, making it easy for your pet to stay in their routine and feel comfortable in their own space. I specialize in in-home care, so your pet stays in a familiar, stress-free environment. I follow all household instructions carefully — whether that’s meds, crate use, or security routines — and I keep you updated regularly so you know your pet is in good hands.
“Rose is an amazing dog sitter!! Our dog recently had major surgery so we really wanted to make sure she was in good hands while we were out of town. Rose is incredibly knowledgeable about pet care as she works at a veterinary clinic and was really on top of making sure my dog stayed on her medication and exercise schedule as well as got lots of love and attention as she was recovering. Rose is very responsive, communicative, and a genuinely kind person who made me feel so comfortable trusting her with my dog.”

About: As a mom myself (both a dog-mom and human-mom!), I know how hard it is to leave your little fur baby behind to enjoy a fun vacation or business trip but I can assure you that with lots of photos and text updates that your little pup or kitty will be so happy in our animal-loving home! We are a vegan household so needless to say, we do not discriminate against any little or big creature (well, maybe just spiders!). Your pup will have the best care, all the couch snuggles, nice walks on grassy Pehlam Parkway dirt paths, fetch games and timely food/drink care! My 6 year old will endlessly read to him/her and my 3 year old will give them all the scratches! They are VERY good with all dogs big or small and understand the limits, they will never be left unattended with your pup! We lost our Golden Retriever and Coonhound this year and just looking to fill the small void in our home <3! So go on your trip and let us go on some fun exploring walks! Please message me with any questions! I currently work from home full time and am very active and willing to walk dog at any time in any weather... and weekends consist of some sort of activity with our children that would require us to be out of the house for 2-4 hours, no more. We have a 2 bedroom apartment with a very large living room and very large windows that dogs love to look out of! You are welcome to bring your dog bed, we have plenty of space, and a nice dark hallway if they want some peace and quiet :)

Erick went above and beyond to give each of our dogs individual attention. He took it upon himself to brush out one of our dogs to help her shed her coat for the summer heat - even though we never asked him to. He has a great demeanor with pets, and was very easy to communicate with. He even shared photos and maps of every walk. I can't think of someone I would trust more to care for our pets while we are away.
Emma is an incredible dog sitter. She is super confident in taking care of anyone’s dog, no matter what. Our dog is new to the family, so he still has some things to learn, but she had no problem taking care of him in our apartment for three nights. She’s super communicative, and put our minds at ease, since this was our first trip away from him. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks Emma!
We are so happy we met Nicole to watch our 2 pups and cat while we were away. She handled our 2 big pups like a pro - they are not the easiest and are a bit on guard when meeting new people but she quickly put them at ease. She sent daily updates and followed our instructions perfectly. I am very happy that we have Nicole to trust with our animals!
Genesis house sit for my 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were away for 2 and a half weeks. She sent constant updates every day and when my cat had an emergency she immediately called me and followed veterinary instructions on my behalf when we couldn’t come back. She made a follow up appointment with his regular vet, gave him his medication and was back to himself by the time I got back. She also bought toys for both the dogs and the cats while we were away and played with them all the time. They were very happy to be with her and I would definitely call her again!
