About: I grew up with pet dogs, but fell in love with cats too after catsitting for a friend for several weeks! My own dog recently passed away (I adopted her as a senior but we had three wonderful years together) and I would love to continue to spend time with and take care of beloved pets. I work full-time, but my evenings and weekends are free. I'm also an early bird, so pre-work visits are also possible. I have a monthly bus pass, an e-scooter, and a car, so it will be no problem for me to get to you! I will treat your beloved pets like they are my own! We will adhere to the same schedule/regimen/rules they live by when you are home.

“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”

“Michele took great care of my pets and was an amazing sitter. Took lots of photos and gave plenty of updates, I’m very thankful for her care. Really easy to communicate with and I would absolutely love to have her take care of them again. Thank you!”

“Natalie was a wonderful sitter while we were away. My dog is very attached to me and she was able to keep him distracted. She sent pictures. Definitely recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have always been a huge lover of dogs and cats and have experience caring for my family and friend’s pets. I have also owned a fish tank for a few years and am knowledgeable on tank care. I have a decent amount of weekday and weekend availability outside of school and am happy to help care for your pets in any way that I can! Outside of school and work I have a decent amount of free time both during week days and weekends to check in, walk, feed, or play your pets. However, I do work a rotating schedule so the specific days of the week that I am free vary each week. Because of this, I won’t be able to commit to a recurring weekly booking at this time. I live in the Brookline area where there is a lot of green space for dog walking / outdoor play. I am also comfortable making home visits to check in on pets.
“Emily was an incredible dog/house sitter, taking care of my elder pup Rosie like she was her own. She gave her daily meds, provided photo updates, contacted me when she had questions, and even helped out one of my neighbors! So grateful!”

“If we could give Yanira 10 shining stars, we would! Yanira took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper in our home. Yanira arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Yanira sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Our house, BTW, was immaculate. Yanira has our highest recommendations, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Yanira!!!!!”


“I had a phenomenal experience leveraging Stacy for house and pet sitting. I knew from our first meet and greet she would be wonderful and she was! Stacy was thorough, patient, kind and organized. I look forward to using her services again.”

“I do not think there are enough positive words I can give for Colleen and how big of a help she was for me and Macy! She goes above and beyond, sends loads of pictures and updates, treats your dog as her own, and l will DEFINITELY be requesting her for all of my future dog sitting needs!! Absolutely amazing experience!”

About: I used to work for a doggy daycare in Brookline and have had plenty of experience with a lot of different kinds of dogs. I have also been dog sitting for my brother for years and have watched many family pets. I can read dogs well and I know how to keep them happy and healthy I will keep a good eye on your pet as long as I am there. I can help whenever I am available! I love to be outside and get exercise with pets I follow all the rules of the pet owners household and keep a good eye on the pet. I can feed them, take them for walks and play with them as much as needed
“Hsiao-chia was quick to respond and accept my request which I appreciated since it was for the next day. She asked good questions and made me feel good about leaving my 3 pets in her care.”

“Donna was great. Prompt arrival and constant comma while we were away. She sent pictures and let us know Shirley was scratching her face likely due to anxiety. She treated our dog wonderfully and I would not hesitate to book again”

“Sarah was perfect for us! We have an elderly cat and dog and she catered to both of their needs and eccentricities so that we could go on a short trip without worrying about them. We will definitely be calling her back in the future!”

“Rev was the most responsive, caring and thoughtful caring person! She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!”

“Nicole helped me out in a big way while I was away at a wedding! I got adorable pictures of my pup and was very happy to hear she took the time to let her warm up. Will definitely rebook with Nicole again, highly recommend!”


“Rose was amazing and she took excellent care of Oakley. She communicated with us during our entire trip and sent us pictures along the way. We will definitely be using Rose again!”

Marcy was a terrific sitter for Jasper! She took great care of him as well as our house while we were away. Marcy was a good communicator with us, sending us daily pics and updates, and she matched Jasper's vibe perfectly. I'd be happy to have her sit with him again!

I would give 10 stars if I could. I went on a two week vacation and very anxious about leaving my two Maine Coons for such a long time. We had JB house sit and she not only took care of the cats but my many plants as well. I am so relieved to have her as a trusted care giver for my fur babies!

Michael took such good care of my dog, especially considering she had surgery a few weeks ago. He gave her medicine and did her physical therapy! He is also great about sending photos and updates, and even tidied my house a bit before he left. Highly recommend!!

Julia agreed to stay with Jai Alai very last minute over Memorial Day weekend, and we felt so fortunate to have connected with her. She took great care of our sensitive labradoodle and was very communicative throughout her stay. We’d love to have her stay with our girl again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Melissa from Rover. She took amazing care of our dog Luna, who was recovering from knee surgery and needed special attention. Melissa followed our instructions for Luna’s physical therapy three times a day, and kept us updated with photos and messages through the Rover app, which really gave us peace of mind. On top of that, she stayed at our house while we were away and left it spotless. We even came home to a sweet note and a flower on the counter. Melissa truly went above and beyond, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

I do not think there are enough positive words I can give for Colleen and how big of a help she was for me and Macy! She goes above and beyond, sends loads of pictures and updates, treats your dog as her own, and l will DEFINITELY be requesting her for all of my future dog sitting needs!! Absolutely amazing experience!

Kathryn is amazing! Stayed in our house and watched our two mini dachshunds. Walked them multiple times a day and sent twice daily updates and photos. We are so grateful to have no worries for our pups while Kathrynnis here - highest praise and recommendation!

Chloe did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two dogs (Nala, a one year old golden retriever and Maui, an almost six year old, lab mix) while we were away. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with handling pets. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. One thing that really stood out was how quickly our dog Maui—who is usually very picky about people—gravitated toward her right away. That alone spoke volumes about Chloe’s calm, trustworthy presence and natural connection with animals. It’s obvious that Chloe genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and she treated ours like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. We are already thinking about leaving again so the dogs can hang out with Chloe.
