8. Mira K.
“We are so happy we found Mira! We were able to book her for an impromptu weekend trip. She checked-in on our dog and cat daily for feedings and walks. We received updates & pictures for each visit, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be making Mira our regular pet sitter/walker. Our pets give her two paws up! Thank you Mira!”

10. Sai A.
“I am pleased to provide a warm recommendation for Sai. Sai has taken excellent and loving care of two cats and one dogs at home. Sai has also taken care of several dogs in the neighborhood. Sai has earned a formal certification as pet sitter during senior year in high school. Sai is conscientious and loves animals.”
11. Jack S.
“Jack has a keen sense of animal appreciation. He has cared for my 90lb Mastiff, 50lb English Bulldog, and 20lb Pug with kindness and grace while he lives in the Boston area. Jack was in tune with all the quirkiness my beast(s) had and could redirect with kindness and compassion, all while providing them with positive stimulation. I can confidently recommend Jack for any pet care needs.”
12. Bianca & Charles L.
“Punctual visits, and great communication. We’re very grateful to Bianca and Charles for taking such great care of our cats on short notice. Thank you!”
13. Brooke S.
“Brooke has watched my dog Bella a bunch of times, and I honestly can’t recommend her enough. She’s super dependable and clearly loves spending time with dogs — Bella warmed up to her really quickly, which isn’t always the case! When they go on walks, I can tell that Brooke actually takes the time to explore with her instead of just doing the usual loop. They check out new parts of the neighborhood, and Bella always comes back happy and ready for a nap. Brooke is super reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs! She makes sure Bella gets lots of love, playtime, and attention, and she always sends the sweetest updates and photos while I’m away. It’s such a relief to know Bella is not just being looked after, but genuinely having fun and feeling comfortable. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and great with animals, I can’t recommend Brooke enough!”
14. Shivani K.
“I had such a great experience with Shivani taking care of my cats. She is super reliable and clearly loves animals. I will definitely be calling on her again.”
15. Marianne A.
“Marianne is great with our dog Snickers, who is 90lbs and has a large, scary bark. Unlike others who judge at first sight, Marianne formed an easy and gentle relationship with our loving dog and helped Snickers also socialize with her other dogs (which she loves).”
16. Amity M.
“Amity is an obvious dog lover. She and our lab Gwen get along great! I’m so glad we found someone we can trust in the neighborhood to take great care of our fur baby. Looking forward to booking Amity again.”
17. Taylor C.
“Taylor was so great! I reached out to her last minute and she was quick to respond. She’s super nice, communicative and my cat loved her. Will definitely use her again!”
