“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine and would absolutely recommend her. She came twice a day for a full week, spending an hour each visit, and was incredibly attentive to our cat’s needs the entire time. She made sure everything was taken care of, spent quality time playing with our cat, and clearly built a great bond with her. Our cat really loved her. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing our cat was in such caring and capable hands. We would happily book with her again!”

“We had just moved to Boston and needed a needed a dog-sitter on short notice for our Great Dane pup, Gordon, and David crushed it! He is super-patient and confident with our big boy and expertly communicative. David will always be our “go to!””

“Ainsley was fantastic with our in home visits with our dog Tuukka. She always sent me pictures and was great with responding in a timely manner. Thank you Ainsley!”

“Rachel did an excellent job watching our two senior cats. They do not warm up easily to new people, but Rachel was clearly an exception—she took time to pet and play with them. She also had no trouble administering oral meds to one of our cats. Very happy with our experience.”
“Owen was very communicative, highly dependable, and did an amazing job with the cat visits. I highly recommend him and would definitely seek him out again in future”

“Emma took great care of my dog Boss when I went away for the weekend in New Hampshire. She followed all of my specific instructions and sent me photos and videos throughout the stay. Thank you Emma! Will be rebooking with you again!”

About: I provide dependable, high-touch pet care with a strong focus on safety, structure, and communication. With years of experience caring for dogs through personal, family, and friend settings, I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, overnight stays, and keeping pets calm and happy in their normal routine. My hospitality management background means I bring a professional, service-first mindset to every booking, including timely updates and photo check-ins. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my weekly routine because I intentionally build my schedule around being dependable and on time. I’m very organized and make sure each booking has dedicated time for walks, feeding, play, and updates so every pet receives focused attention and consistency. My routine allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and flexible weekend availability. Safety, trust, and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, triggers, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every booking so I can keep their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all routines exactly as requested, including walks, feeding times, medications, crate use, and house rules. I always double-check doors, leashes, gates, and entry points to ensure pets remain secure at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, calm, pet-safe environment with plenty of supervision, fresh water, safe spaces to rest, and structured play and potty breaks. I avoid exposing pets to unsafe foods, objects, or stressful situations and make sure they are never left unattended in a way that could put them at risk. I also provide regular updates and photo check-ins so pet parents always know their pet is safe, happy, and receiving attentive care.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I’ve taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and those of family friends as well! I’m currently finishing up the school year as a fifth grade teacher and will be starting a PhD program in the Autumn, so I’m looking for work over the summer caring for dogs and cats in the mornings and afternoons. I’m available to come to your location to walk, feed, and play with your dog (or cat!). I have a skittish cat, so my home isn’t available for boarding or dog/cat-sitting, but I am more than happy to come to your home to check on, feed, walk, give medicine, or play with your pet!
“Belen kept us updated with photos and videos when she checked on our cat Paddington while we were away. She was very responsive and Paddington seemed to like her a lot. We are very grateful!”

“Yasmin was an amazing cat sitter! She communicated quickly, was super flexible, and did a great job administering my cat’s asthma inhaler, which isn’t always easy. She also sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 13+ years of experience caring for my own German Shepherd–Retriever mix, Max. I’m energetic, active, and love long walks and playtime with younger dogs, while also having experience providing gentle care for Princess a senior dog. Reliable, attentive, and caring, I’ll treat your dog like family. 🐾 I work flexible hours and am available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight care. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and needs, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. 🐾 I have a spacious, dog-friendly townhouse with a backyard where dogs can relax and play. My own dog, Max, spends the summer with his other human, so your pet will have plenty of space and attention. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including crating if needed, to help them feel safe and comfortable during their stay.
“Juliet is amazing! She was super flexible and accommodated our last minute request. She took plenty of pictures and communicated with us throughout. We would trust her to take care of our Alfie any day!”

About: I bring a calm, reliable, and highly attentive approach to pet care—shaped not just by helping friends and neighbors, but by raising my own very happy, well-loved Goldendoodle. I understand firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m naturally detail-oriented, so I stick closely to routines, feeding schedules, and each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or a more relaxed, steady presence, I adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for—and you get complete peace of mind while you’re away. Not currently working so available to look after 24/7 and at home most of the time. They’ll be with me a lot of the time! My chilled goldendoodle makes even the most nervous of dogs feel comfortable. I have an unfenced yard so always take the dogs out on the lead for a quick bathroom break back there when needed and then do 2-3 walks a day depending on the dogs needs/weather. I have a very dog friendly home with lots of space to play and then in the evenings it’s cuddles watching Netflix! They’re more than welcome on the bed but can also accommodate a crate if you’d prefer. My guest bathroom is all set up for doggy baths if you’d like a clean sparkly dog on your return :)
About: I have been surrounded by dogs of all sizes and cats my entire life, from my own family’s pets to my extended family’s. Family members and friends have counted on me since I was 9 years old to dog sit or walk their dogs, and over the years I’ve cared for pets ranging from 5 to 85 lbs. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies to senior rescues with unique needs. Walking and caring for my family’s current dog—a large 9-year-old rescue with a few quirky personality traits—has sharpened my ability to recognize and safely manage challenging or unpredictable situations on walks. What sets me apart is the level of patience and attentiveness I bring to every pet I care for. I treat animals as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s providing extra playtime, managing special routines, or simply offering companionship, I go above and beyond to make sure each pet gets the care they deserve. I recently moved to Boston and am currently in between jobs, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the week. I have lots of free time for walks, playtime, and giving pets my full attention. In my care, pets get lots of attention, affection, and consistency. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medications, or maintaining routines that make pets feel comfortable and secure. During walks, I prioritize safety and make sure dogs get the right balance of exercise and fun. At a client’s home, I treat the space respectfully and keep things clean and tidy. My goal is to make pets feel at ease and loved while their owners are away, so they’re happy and relaxed when you return.
“Ange was absolutely wonderful. She was very communicative and always quick to respond to messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She sent photos and a thoughtful summary after each visit, something we truly appreciated. We came home to a clean house and, most importantly, happy and healthy cats. We would definitely book Ange again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.”

I can’t recommend Jessica enough! Jessica did a great job taking care of our asthmatic cat, Cash, who needs medication twice daily. She was communicative, reliable, and friendly. Cash was clearly well cared for and played with for the 8 days we were out. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!

Kyle is a caring, communicative pet sitter who took wonderful care of our cats while we were away for 6 days. We really appreciate his flexibility and attention to detail. Our place was spotless when we returned, and, more importantly, our cats were calm - they acted as if we had never left! This was most likely due to the level of care (and love) he provided them. We really appreciate the effort he consistently made and will definitely rebook his services in the future.

We recently adopted a kitten who needed human socialization. We had Dunks on a good trajectory and Dani did a great job while we were on our trip. She also helped Logan, our older cat, feel like he was still important too! We came home to two incredibly happy cats!

Katherine was attentive, communicative and overall very experienced with animals! She sent pictures and followed all our directions. She even went above and beyond by leaving ice cubes in our cats’ water because it was a hot day - such a nice touch. We have a super shy cat who usually doesn’t come out of hiding for strangers but he was out and about with Katherine! Will be hiring her again.

Karina was so great with Piper! I felt comfortable leaving her over a tricky 4th of July weekend and knew that my cat would be in great care with her. During the meet and greet, she asked great questions to make sure she was fully prepared in case of any emergency, and she was very easy to communicate with! We will definitely use Karina again!

Adam did such an amazing job taking care of our two cats for a long weekend. He arrived early to every visit to make sure the cats were fed on time. He kept me in the loop during each visit and sent many photos. He went above and beyond and emptied their litter boxes more than we asked so the cats felt comfortable. One of our cats threw up and Adam cleaned everything up and kept an eye on him to make sure he was okay! I trusted Adam during the whole process and will definitely be reaching out to him again. I highly recommend him!!

Nicole was great!!! My cat threw up and she cleaned it up in addition to his litter which he loves to kick out of his box. She even came back to turn his auto feeder on when it somehow became unplugged! Very good thorough and prompt communication and my cat really liked her!!!! I came back to a very happy cat and a clean apartment. Thank you!!!!!!
