“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”


“Valeria has been-by far-the best dog sitter for my boy Charlie. She was very communicative and thoughtful. She also immediately bonded with Charlie and knew how to take such good care of him. She gave multiple updates throughout the day and sent me the best photos and videos. Thank you so much Valeria, you are a gem!!”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have been taking care of my friends and families dogs the past 5 years. I have taken care of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I am a full time social worker with a hybrid role which means I’m home a lot during the week even when I’m working. I always have weekends off and am available to take care of pets pretty much every weekend. I offer at home services and can easily stop by multiple times a day to provide food, walks, and all the pets necessary to make sure your pet is happy while you are away. Also open to house sit if 24/7 care is needed.

“Tori was great with Otis! We came home to a happy dog and house that looked great - can't ask for anything more! Need to firm up dates for our next trip ASAP so we can see if Tori is available.”


About: For nearly my entire life I have taken care of my two dogs, Eddie and Shorty. Between raising them as puppies and taking care of Shorty in his later years, I have had the pleasure in taking care of my dogs. Over the years I have helped sit and take care of guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and many other pets! No matter the animal, I treat them with love just as if they were my own. I can walk or watch your pets any weekday! As for overnight sitting, the same applies. I work part time in politics so I should almost always be able to fill your requests. I can provide care to your pets in your home when needed! If given with instructions on how to take care of your pets, I can accommodate to all of you and your pets needs.

“Sara took wonderful care of Charlie and I would certainly leave him with her again. Even though he can be shy, Charlie took to Sara the first time he met her which put me right at ease. It was easy to communicate with her and it was so nice to receive pictures of them together. When I returned it was obvious that Charlie was well taken care of and that my condo was left as clean and neat as I left it!!”

Would highly recommend Kelcee to anyone!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and have walked them for two years. I make sure they have a safe fun time. My schedule is pretty open so I am guaranteed to make sure your pet is well taken care of and having a fun safe time. In clients home I make sure that gates are closed to backyard. Make sure they aren’t getting into anything they aren’t supposed to be in.

About: Hello! I'm Keaton, a recent graduate from Needham High School and a lifelong animal lover.

Keaton W.
“Pets: 2 cats Services: Daily feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and overnight care We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Keaton! As a young adult, he demonstrated remarkable responsibility and genuine care for our two cats while we were traveling out of the country. From day one, Keaton was incredibly attentive and reliable. He arrived promptly for or visit day taking note of the instructions we shared and asking insightful questions to understand the care of our cats and our expectations for their care while we were away. Keaton went above and beyond our expectations. What impressed us most was his proactive communication - he regularly sent photos and videos showing our cats playing and being their happy selves, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Keaton didn't just feed our cats and leave. He took time to engage with them, ensuring they received the attention and interaction they needed. He was thorough with daily maintenance, keeping the litter boxes clean and even taking care of small household tasks like recycling cans. We returned to find our home in better condition than when we left! It's clear that our cats adored him - they were relaxed, happy, and well-cared for throughout our entire trip. Keaton's maturity, dependability, and genuine love for animals make him an exceptional pet sitter. We will absolutely book him again for future travels and highly recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy, flexible, conscientious, and caring pet care.”
