“Lyv was very professional and considerate. She communicates well and I had no issues with making changes based on changes in my travel plans. Freddie loved her too! We really appreciate the thoughtful care she provided and would love to use her services again!”


About: Hey hey! My name's Victoria, but friends call me Rev. I moved here a couple of years ago now from Georgia, began pet sitting in April 2024, and it's currently my full-time job! I've been fascinated with animals since a young age, with about ~17 years of experience, mainly with cats. As I've gotten older, I've fallen in love with the human-animal bond, and have become passionate about their care and respecting each one the way they deserve. Regardless of your pet's personality, preferences, or needs, I'm excited to meet, care, and accommodate your little darling with the same love as you would! I hope to hear from you soon 😊! As this is my full-time job, I'm capable of prioritizing my schedule to work for you and your sweetheart(s). I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). If you're not sure, please feel welcome to ask! If I can fit them into my schedule, even on short-notice or alongside another sweetie, I'm more than happy to see what I can do. I've got the kind of guest attitude you can expect from a typical Southerner! I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them, and due to a background in housekeeping it's not uncommon for me to do some cleaning before I leave. You can trust to come back to your home just as you left it, if not with less dust than before!

About: Remote worker | flexible time | well experienced I have 12 years experiences in take care of different dogs, including puppies and senior dogs. I have a small well trained goldendoodle at home that will keep your baby occupied! I can also work with your pup to do training. I work remotely and I will be there to give your pup the love and attention they needs. My time is more flexible and I can do walks or exercise for them based on your instructions. Your pup would be getting the love from our family and it is also a very safe community with multiple dog parks for them to run and play!

“Gabby has been so patient and caring towards my kitten who has never been left with a sitter before! He was anxious with someone new but she quickly gained his trust and picked up on his behavioral cues. She always sends me updates of her visit with photos ! I’ve been so thankful to have a reliable sitter for my Remy :)”


“Alana is fantastic! Our cats took to her quickly, which is the highest compliment. She was punctual, an excellent communicator, and provided thorough reports during her daily check-ins. She went above and beyond by doing things that weren't asked of her, like sweeping up. Alana made us feel confident our pets were well cared and we will definitely contact her for future bookings.”


About: **ONLY HAVE WEEKEND AVAILABILITY AND WEEKDAY AVAILABILITY AFTER 6PM** Hi, I’m Hannah! I have over 15 years of experience helping to care for family dogs, and currently, my own two cats, Mack and Chili! Safe to say, I've developed a love and passion for all kinds of animals. I understand the expenses and inconveniences that occur when you are a pet owner that needs to travel/work away from home! I want to be an affordable solution to this problem. As an enthusiastic, responsible and attentive pet sitter, I'm driven to provide the best care for you and your pet whether it's walking, playing or just lounging around! Though my apartment doesn't allow dogs, I am more than happy to watch your dogs in your home whether it is drop ins or overnights while keeping you updated along the way. I woke 9-5 during the week so I am only available after 5pm on weekdays. However, I have full availability during the weekend. Because I have my own two kitties to take care of, I generally don’t do overnights or pet boarding, but can make some exceptions for overnights! I am very careful and conscious of any client concerns and will make sure to take of both your pet and your home while I am there.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats and guinea pigs. From giving medications, to feeding, walking and grooming….i can help with whatever you need I work from home and go on daily walks in the morning so I am able to come in and check on your furry friends or bring them out on a walk I will make sure your pet is comfortable with me and move at their pace. I am flexible and can adapt quickly to different personalities

About: I have had dogs for over 20 years, for me they are as much a part of my family, as the people in it. I take so much pride an joy taking care of my fur friends, I hope to provide you pet with the same care and love I give my own. Currently working for myself, so i have some morning and afternoon flexibility to help keep your fur baby feel loved. available to pet sit on weekends and some long weekends. I will care for your pet in your home to the particulars you outline. After having both puppies and dogs, i am very well versed in many basic first aid needs of dogs in different stages of life.

About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life and have owned my current terrier mix Lemon for the past five years, since adopting her from a rescue in TX. She's dog-reactive on leash, so I’ve developed strong skills in reading dog body language, managing difficult situations calmly, and avoiding triggers and other dogs to keep her safe and comfortable. I bring that same level of attentiveness and care to every dog I walk or sit for. As a U.S. Army veteran, I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and take safety seriously—your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. I tailor every walk or visit to meet each dog's individual needs, whether they’re energetic puppies, seniors who need a gentler pace, or dogs that need space from others. I have a passion for animals and love dogs of all sizes and breeds! No matter what, you can count on me to treat your dog like my own (and my dog is treated like a family member, not just a pet)! I'm currently on a sabbatical from my full-time corporate finance job, which allows me the flexibility to focus entirely on pet care during the week. I'm available for house-sitting, walks, and drop-in visits at nearly any time Monday through Friday. While I'm usually unavailable on weekends, I'm happy to accommodate with advance notice whenever possible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, and I truly enjoy giving dogs the attention, structure, and companionship they need throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, administering medication, reinforcing training, or sticking to a specific walk schedule. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality so I can provide the kind of care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment. During house-sitting stays, I also keep the home tidy and secure—bringing in mail, taking out trash, and providing updates with photos so you have peace of mind while you're away. I’m respectful of your space and treat it like my own. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets quality time, attention, and exercise tailored to their energy level and temperament. Whether it’s a brisk walk or some backyard playtime, I focus on safety, companionship, and clear communication with you every step of the way.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, I bring a calm, confident presence that animals naturally trust. Whether it’s helping a new puppy learn routines or supporting a senior dog with gentle, attentive care, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m not just here to “watch” your pet—I engage with them. I bring playful energy when they need it, and peaceful reassurance when they need to feel safe and settled. I’m comfortable administering medications, working with shy or anxious pets, and reinforcing basic training commands with consistency and patience. Every pet is part of the family in my care, and I’m here to make sure they feel loved, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily life. While I currently work part-time, I’m available every day for dog sitting, walking, and drop-in visits. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care—whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. Because I’m not rushing between jobs, I can fully focus on your pet’s routine and well-being. From quick check-ins to longer visits, I make sure each pet feels safe, seen, and loved—just like they would with you. In your home, I aim to maintain your pet’s familiar routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding, walking, and play schedules closely, and give plenty of calm, loving attention. I’m respectful of your home and keep things tidy, treating your space with the same care I give your pet. Whether it’s solo snuggles, medication routines, or just being a steady, calm presence while you’re away, I adjust to what your pet needs most.

About: I am an avid dog-lover looking to spend time with the most fabulous dogs of the boston area! I grew up with dogs and have been dog walking and sitting for years. I have a very flexible schedule - I am spending the summer studying for the LSAT and like to spend a ton of time outside when I don’t have my head in a book! I live in a house with a fenced-in yard and my 13 year old spaniel, who is an absolute angel! There is always water available for the dogs and they are taken on several walks everyday.
