“Samantha did a great job taking care of our cat, Sasha! She was on time for the meet and greet and cat sitting start date. She sent lots of photos of Sasha and updates on her eating and litter habits. Sasha sometimes gets lonely when we leave on vacation and has not eaten in the past but ate and played fine and seemed very comfortable with Samantha. Would definitely recommend Samantha for cat/dog sitting!”

About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.
“Thank you so much Staci for taking care of our cat while we were gone for the weekend! Staci was kind enough to help us out last minute. Our cat was on liquid antibiotics and Staci administered the medicine like a pro. She kept us up to date with messages and pictures; I knew Nell was in good hands! I would definitely reach out to Staci when we need a sitter in the future :)”

“Madison made my trip abroad away from my young cats for 10 days so much better because I could tell immediately upon meeting her she’d be reliable and kind to the cats. The cats were happy and well cared for and the house was secure while she was coming in and out. I’ll definitely be asking Madison for help in the future.”
About: Hello! I'm Keaton, a recent graduate from Needham High School and a lifelong animal lover. I've grown up surrounded by dogs and cats, having cared for two dogs and two cats of my own over the years. From daily walks to feeding, cleaning up after, and providing loving companionship, I've been hands-on with pet care my entire life. In addition, I have helped take care of the dogs and cats of various family and friends throughout the years, whenever they've needed. I am available to work almost any day and time. I am typically occupied Saturday nights with other employment, but am very flexible for the most part due to few routine commitments. The safety and comfort of your pet is my top priority. I will closely follow provided care instructions, and will take the time to learn your pets specific routines, preferences, and personality.

About: The Pet Whisperer: I have decades of experience both caring for AND owning pets; mainly cats and dogs. My first dog was already in the family when I was born; I don't know life without caring for a pet. Dog walks and cat play have always been a part of my lifestyle. Looking to carry my love of pets into caring for yours! I currently have flexibility in my schedule from 6:30 am - 10:30 pm seven days per week; ideally with advance notice especially for boarding and/or around holidays. If an opportunity arises where I am at my home with your pet, I have a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Indoors I have several dog beds of varying sizes for your dog to feel comfortable and right at home and dog toys to enjoy (both of which get cleaned after every use dog visit)

She’s great with all types of dogs and is very on top of keeping them fed and getting them the proper exercise that they need. She loves dogs and takes care of each dog as if they were her own. I fully recommend her to take care of any dog from puppies to older dogs that need more care and attention. Overall she’s a great caretaker with pets and would recommend 10/10 times.”
Tanya M.
“I can't recommend Tanya highly enough! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. Tanya made the entire process so easy and stress-free. I really appreciate how flexible Tanya is. She will care for your pet at her house or yours and has accommodated us on a number of last minute occasions. Tanya makes sure to understand your dog's needs and makes this a priority. My dog, Bonnie, is energetic and enjoys long walks and is very social. Tanya has always made sure that Bonnie gets plenty of exercise and and time with people and other dogs. Throughout Bonnie's stay, I always receive regular updates and adorable pictures, which really put my mind at ease. I can tell that Tanya genuinely cares about the well-being of the animals she look(s) after. If you're looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and loving dog sitter, look no further. Highly recommended!”

Cressida was terrific and I highly recommend her! My three cats loved her and well cared for by her over the course of five days while we were away. She was responsive, communicative, shared photos of the kitties every day, and follow all of the instructions that I had shared with her during an in person introduction ahead of our vacation. We will definitely hire her again for help when we are out of town!
