“Bert was terrific! He had lots of patience and was caring with Sammy. Sammy is an 11 year old senior cat I adopted 5 weeks ago which means she’s still getting used to me and her surroundings. I was hesitant leaving her alone for a weekend so Bert house sat. She hid a lot under the which was completely understandable and didn’t surprise me. She ate her meals two times a day and he was able to coax her out a bit a couple of times with a lickable treat which was huge. Bert also sent several pictures a day which helped me rest easier. I would definitely have Bert back!”
“Anna was great! She was so calm and comfortable with our anxious and high energy dog. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos throughout the stay. We would definitely have her look after our pup again!”
“Jaspers had a great time with Boning taking care of him on our vacation. She was a responsive and responsible house sitter who kept us updated with news and pictures throughout. Thank you!”
“Amy was fantastic! My dog and cat adopted her right away and enjoyed their mini vacation! She even came home from work in the middle of the day to make sure the two animals were doing fine. And shoveled the side walk when we had some unexpected snow! :) Highly recommend.”
“Margaret was amazing! She watched my dog over the weekend and he immediately took to her. I immediately trusted Margaret - she is dependable, caring and conscientious. She checked in often- sending photos of her visits and updates on how my dog was doing. I would enthusiastically recommend Margaret to anyone and would trust that she will care about your pet as much as you do while you’re gone.”
“She provided the best service for our dogs! They loved her, and I felt they were safe and cared for while I was away. She regularly checked in with photos and messages. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: Hello, I wanted to share how much I love dogs. Growing up, I had a dog who was truly my best friend, always by my side and bringing so much happiness into my life. Now, I have another dog who means the world to me. They are not just pets to me; they are family. I hope you can relate to the special bond that comes with having a pet. Do you have any pets? I would love to care for them I can easily fit the pet care duties into my schedule because I am self-employed. This flexibility allows me to accommodate any needs that may arise, ensuring the pets receive the best care possible. I have a semi fence yard and also a friendly dog who will keep company to you furry friend. I will keep a close eye on them to make sure they are safe
“Jeff did a great job with our cat Gretzky. Gretzky is a 20 year old who has some special care needs and Jeff was able to give the cat medicine, feed him his special diet etc. We will definitely hire Jeff again as he is reliable and a good communicator who really likes cats. Highly recommended.”
About: Hi! I've had gerbils, fish and dogs growing up, fostered ducks, snakes and guinea pigs and house sat for the occasional cat (and house plants). My current living situation doesn't allow for me to have pets, but I'd love to spend time helping take care of yours I'm taking a break from engineering to get my EMT certification. I'm available all the time until class starts in May, when I'll be spending the weekday mornings in class I can't host in my home, (roommates with pet allergies) but I'm happy to drive (or train or bus or walk) to see yours in their space.
“Cynthia was great with Cider and we would gladly have her again! She's definitely experienced with dogs and handled Cider's puppy energy so well. Cider slept like a baby after all her play time.”
“What an amazing sitter! Took great care of my cat for multiple weeks, and put up with all of her behavioral quirks and sent me tons of photos and updates as well. I felt completely at ease and would absolutely book again. Thank you!”
“Sarah has taken care of my two cats several times now and every time I’m always thrilled. She always sends me lots of pictures and updates, shows them tons of love, and plays with them, and my house is always immaculate when I get home. Sarah is awesome. Knowing she is taking care of my fur babies makes it a lot easier for me when I have to be out of town.”
“Susannah was amazing with our two dogs! One of our dogs requires medication several times per day, and she was great about making sure he received his meds at the appropriate time and helping him through his medical complications. She was great about walking and playing with them and they were tuckered out even after we got back. She sent lots of photos and updates and we could tell our dogs were receiving lots of love and the best care. We can't recommend her enough!”
About: I've had dogs all my life, various breeds. Learned alot about them over the years. Have 3 dogs currently. I have given dogs medication before I look after dogs every single day all the time. I take care of my dogs needs first before my own so I know that they have everything they need on time and are happy and content. I care and treat other people's dogs as if they were my own and I treat mine as if they are family because they are. I would bring a leash to walk the dog if the owner doesn't have one, have doggie bags, safe dog treats, and during the hot months a little water dish and water in case the dog is thirsty. It's important to always be prepared.
“Meeting Emily was a relief after our other pet sitter fell through in the days leading up to our trip. Emily was willing to do a last minute meet and greet and asked thoughtful questions about caring for our dogs and cats. She was communicative and our pets seemed to enjoy her presence. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Marissa took great care of our senior dog. She was very communicative, punctual, attentive and caring. She sent updates throughout the whole time to make sure we were comfortable, which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend her services!”
About: I’ve walked/sat for dogs since I was a kid. I’ve grown up with a dog and now have my own at the age of 25 I am in Norwood living with my partner and looking for work, I decided to put a profile together and take care of pets to earn some money in the mean time. They’re allowed all the free play space in the open living area. Lots of space to run around. We’re close to a field for fetch and walks and I am more than happy to drive to a fenced in dog park. I have a vehicle and can drive to your home as well to hang out in the pets home if need be. I trained my dog by myself she is very responsible. She is energetic but kind and cuddly. She knows how to sit, come, stay, play dead, sit pretty, give paw, and loves fetch

Anna was absolutely terrific. She connected well with the dogs and kept great care of them. They are very active and she was as well. The house was spotless upon return. She also kept us very informed of what was happening with photos and text as needed. Again she is awesome.
Margaret was amazing! She watched my dog over the weekend and he immediately took to her. I immediately trusted Margaret - she is dependable, caring and conscientious. She checked in often- sending photos of her visits and updates on how my dog was doing. I would enthusiastically recommend Margaret to anyone and would trust that she will care about your pet as much as you do while you’re gone.
Amy was fantastic! My dog and cat adopted her right away and enjoyed their mini vacation! She even came home from work in the middle of the day to make sure the two animals were doing fine. And shoveled the side walk when we had some unexpected snow! :) Highly recommend.
Layal is a wonderful pet sitter. She's watched our two dogs on multiple occasions over several days/nights and is great with both of them despite their differences (one big and somewhat anxious, one small and full of puppy energy). She keeps them both happy and provides frequent updates and photos. We will absolutely reach out to her for future needs!
Larry took care of my two cats - separated because one is just here from the shelter and the two cats haven’t met yet - and did a great job. My older cat stopped eating (which he does sometimes when I leave) and Larry not only let me know immediately, but went out and bought him something tempting to eat. And, when I got home I saw that Larry had also brought my second cat a gift - a scratching board (he doesn’t seem to like the scratching post). Larry was also. able to give my older cat his medication in his food, which was key. He seemed to have a real rapport with both of them, which showed up in his photographs - which were fantastic. I recommend Larry highly for cat sitting.
It was great having Cynthia care for Oliver yesterday. She arrived promptly and kept me updated with texts and photos which put me at ease since he suffers from separation anxiety. Throughout the day, my sweet boy enjoyed nice belly rubs and lots of cuddling. :) I was so happy Oliver enjoyed their time together! Cynthia is extremely kind, and I'll definitely contact her again when the need arises. Thanks again Cynthia!
Dakota saved us at the last second when our regular rover sitter was taken and we couldn’t find anyone for our long vacation. She showed up on time for the meet and greet and was so pleasant and friendly; our dog Grafton took right to her. She had great communication and left the house spotless. Thanks so much Dakota!
