Tom did a great job with our dogs. Our youngest pup can be tricky at times and he warmed right up to Tom. He took great care of both dogs and our home.

I am very happy to have had Amanda to take of my tribe this past weekend. I’ve never had to ask Outside of family to help watch my pets and her services provided such comfort and ease. She is someone I will definitely use again!

Liz is the best! She was available on short notice to housesit my two doggies. From the initial meet and greet I knew Liz was great. You can just tell if someone knows dogs and loves them. Throughout the trip, she was highly responsive and forward with any updates. Honestly, I’m so glad I found Liz. I will use her for all bookings going forward and I will highly recommend her to anybody. And know that I am not a bot or a pre-populated review. I am a real person who needed a dog sitter from a Memorial Day holiday weekend and Liz came through! I am grateful to her.

Catherine was an incredible help with our dog and our sassy cat! She kept us updated with frequent messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she cared for both our pets and our home as if they were her own. Highly recommend!

Pan had a fabulous time with James. James treated Pan with love and care as if he were his own pup. We received transparent and timely communication, he shared lots of great photos and even took Pan on some fun field trips during the week. Would absolutely book again!

About: I have taken care of animals as a sitter and as a shelter volunteer for over a decade. I have looked after cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, bearded dragons, and more! I absolutely love animals and have experience with all ages and behaviors :) I am currently on break after graduating from Brandeis University! This summer, I am working part-time and taking classes on and off, so I have lots of flexibility when it comes to helping out with your furry friends! I am happy to follow any set schedules you have for your furry friends and to do everything that I can to make them feel at home while you are away :)

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats. I volunteered at the SPCALA animal shelter for several years, helping care for animals of all ages and personalities. I grew up with two cats and have also fostered pets, giving me experience helping animals adjust to new environments. I had a beloved dog who lived into her 20s, and my family recently foster-failed our newest dog. After recently moving to the area, I'm away from my dog and definitely missing having animals around every day. Caring for pets brings me so much joy, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, attention, and care that I've always given my own. I am currently on summer break from my teaching position and working remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Because my work is portable, I can be available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship during hours when many sitters may be unavailable. My schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care rather than just quick check-ins. As a teacher, I am responsible, patient, detail-oriented, and comfortable following routines, all of which translate well to providing dependable care for your pets. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I live in a spacious apartment in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood near a lake, which provides a great environment for walks, exercise, and enrichment. Potty breaks are easy and frequent since I live on the second floor with quick access outside. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, feeding according to their schedule, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I am happy to follow any instructions regarding routines, medications, exercise, training, or special care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect and care that I would my own.

Leaving on vacation is always difficult when you have to leave your furry family members behind, but Guillermo made it so easy! He was so attentive and able to take care of all the various needs our pets, from a very old cat who needed special feeding to our dog who needed medicine and an ear cleaning. We are so thankful Guillermo was here to take care of everyone! Very highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About: I currently have two senior dogs of my own. I am currently pursuing my associate degree in animal science. I have taken several classes on canine behavior, nutrition, and common health issues. I'm currently working part time, but your pets will be my priority. I have pretty open availability. During the summer I don't have classes, so I am looking to fill my time. With my two senior dogs, I am experienced animals who have health issues and providing medication regularly. I have a safe, realible vehicle to transport the animals if needed. I have experience training and coping with difficult behaviors.

Henry did a wonderful job caring for our two golden retrievers and our house over two weeks. He seems to really love dogs, and took them for walks and let them out (even at midnight) when they needed it. Also came back mid-day from work to check in on them. Very pleased, and would recommend Henry highly.

About: I am a dog person. Just lost my best friend in October and thought it would be nice to help others with their babies. I will be honest, I don’t have any special skills, just a lot of love to share with your pet while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday 6:30 AM to 1 PM. My afternoons are open for walking and playing. My weekends are open unless I am away. I have a nice big fenced in yard and don’t go out much during the week. Have a lot of friends with dogs for playdates.
