“excellent dog sitter! Flexible and patient with my schedule and Dog needs. I didn't have to worry at all. My dog had a blast at the dog park and going for various walks and making friends. Responsive, kind, considerate, responsible, caring, highly recommend.”
“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”
“Vanessa took wonderful care of my dear Clementine. Clementine was very happy in Vanessa's care. I'm very grateful for how well cared for Clementine was with Vanessa!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.
“My cats were well cared for during their stay. Alec and Damien responded quickly, were flexible with drop off and pickup times, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would recommend them to others.”
“Zwany took amazing care of Hercules as always! I never have to worry when I leave him with her because she treats him like her own! It makes me happy to leave him with someone who really cares and loves him too!:)”
“Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.”
“Peyton took great care of my puppy, Luna while I was away for the weekend. She was very reliable and attentive and I could tell Luna was very happy and content to be in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Great, easy stay! Steven was responsive and flexible with pickup times. He worked with me to understand my dog's feeding quirks and walk schedule. He sent pictures during the trip and I knew my doggo was safe and comfortable with him. Thanks!”
“I have to let you know about Erin! When she walked over to meet Bentlee & I, all my worries went away. She has a great aura. Erin sent so many pictures and updates. Bentlee was smiling in all of them! I felt so at ease being away with from Bentlee. I’m happy to have found someone and will book again. Thank you Erin!”
“Dana was a fantastic dog sitter and a great dog trainer. He helped us work through some of our dog’s behavioral issues and we hope to work with him more moving forward”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities. I had my black lab for 16 amazing years, and after recently saying goodbye, I truly miss the snuggles, companionship, and joyful energy a dog brings into a home. While I’m not quite ready to commit to having another dog full time, I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. For the past 6 years, I’ve also pet sat friends’ dogs in my home, so I’m very comfortable creating a safe, loving, and welcoming environment for visiting pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’m here to help. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll make sure they’re treated with patience, affection, and care every step of the way. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule. I can be remote or in office, so I can be on your dog’s schedule. Morning walks starting as early as 6am and then every 2-4 hours depending on your dog’s individual needs. We have a very small fenced in yard, a large park and a fenced in dog park nearby. We currently do not have any pets or children in the home, so if you board your dog they will be a vip guest! There are about 15 stairs to get to our 2nd floor apt, but smaller dogs can be carried as needed and I have years of experience assisting my large lab up and down the stairs as he got older.
“Absolutely AMAZING dog sitter! My original plans for my dog fell through at the last minute and I reached out to 3 other people and TIANYUE was on the last page for whatever reason but I'm glad I stuck it out! Her communication, her updates, and even help with rebooking, all 5 stars! Sad i don't live in Boston anymore because I would easily hand over my baby girl to her!”
“Easy location, great communication, surprisingly great pictures! I came home to a happy, relaxed and healthy pup and appreciated helpful updates without over messaging. Also very flexible when travel plans changed drop off times. Will definitely book again!”
“Dusty had a great time with Julie, and she was terrific. Warm and caring, really great communication throughout Dusty’s stay, which is always much appreciated. Flexible and understanding on a traffic delay I had coming to get her. Would definitely have Dusty stay again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for quality care for your pup!”

Gil was great! He looked after our 55lb hound mix for a full week. He was super communicative and sent proactive updates and photos throughout, so we were never worried about her. She also clearly had a great time based on how she was when we got her home (and based on all the photos, which showed lots of pets, playtime, and activity). She was happy and healthy and we would definitely book with Gil again in the future!
I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Being on a 24-hour shift at the firehouse can be stressful, but Karina put my mind completely at ease. She was an excellent communicator, sent great photo updates, and checked in regularly. I was especially impressed that she successfully fed my picky eater. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again.
Jing & Jeremy were absolutely amazing with our dog, Chubs! From the moment we met them, they made both us and Chubs feel instantly welcomed, comfortable, and at ease. It was obvious how much they genuinely love dogs, and they treated Chubs like he was part of their own family. Throughout his stay, they kept us updated with adorable pictures, videos, and thoughtful messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Seeing how happy, relaxed, and spoiled Chubs was made it so much easier to enjoy our trip, knowing he was receiving the same love and attention he gets at home. We truly can’t thank Jing & Jeremy enough for the exceptional care they provided. Chubs had the best time—and if his tail could talk, he’d already be asking when he gets to go back! We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitters. They exceeded every expectation, and we have already booked our next stay with them!
Upasna aunty is hands down the most trustworthy dog boarder we’ve ever had. From the moment we dropped off our pup, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in the best hands. She gave him so much care and attention, kept us well-informed throughout, and our dog came back absolutely happy and content. If you’re looking for someone who truly treats your pet like family, look no further!
Peyton took great care of my puppy, Luna while I was away for the weekend. She was very reliable and attentive and I could tell Luna was very happy and content to be in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
