“Jessica is the best! I have used her a couple of times to care for my cat while I’m away. She is very communicative, takes great care of my cat, and goes the extra mile to take packages inside without even being asked. Jessica is great and any pet in her care will be well taken care of. Thanks Jessica!”


“Gabriela was fantastic at cat sitting! She was very invested in learning about Rhea and her personality. Gabriela did a great job completing the tasks we’d left for her and she sent detailed summaries every visit. Gabriela even was able to engage Rhea into playing more than usual by crafting a toy. Would highly recommend Gabriela for any sort of pet sitting :)”


About: I provide loving, personalized care for your pets, including daily walks, cuddles, and companionship. I have experience with shy dogs, seniors, and pets who may be nervous around new people. I take the time to earn their trust, always moving at their pace. Whether it’s a playful walk or a quiet visit, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for—just like they would with you. I am currently working full time 8-4:30 but will be going part time in September. I can do all times of day between 6am and 10pm, making sure I spend ample time with your pet(s) and any care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their regular routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, and any needed medications. I make sure they get plenty of attention—whether that means active play, mental stimulation, or simply sitting with them for company. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and I always respect the space as if it were my own. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their family is away.

“Asia took awesome care of our kitty! Even during a historic New England blizzard, she made every effort to make each check-in and was flexible with scheduling when our flight home got delayed. She left thorough visit notes and took tons of pictures. I think our kitty will definitely be hanging out with her again in the future!”


About: I’ve worked in veterinary medicine for 4 years. I’ve gained lots of hands on experience. Currently waiting to adopt my dog on August 30th. Hope I can share the love a care your dog needs!! Everyday. I have 2 very sweet senior cats who are very spoiled. Since working in veterinary medicine I have gained more experience on how sweet and unique each pet is. My cats are very spoiled, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. When I look after your pet, I always show the same love that my fur babies do. I respect and appreciate being able to come into your home and will treat it very nicely. I hope I can help you with all your pet needs!

About: My family has owned dogs my entire life and I had lots of experience watching them when they were away. I'm now the owner of a sweet Min Pin named Cleo. I work part time and remotely so I should have a semi-flexible schedule. Weekends should usually be even more so! I'd be happy to work around your schedule, if possible. I'm avaliable to dogsit at your place and make sure your pup is well fed, walked, and let out for potty breaks. I am avaliable for check ins as well. I'm sure I could also accommodate any special instructions that were in the ballpark of normal pet care :)

“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”


“I’ve used Danielle several times and would recommend her to anyone. She spends a lot of time with my dog/at my house, provides frequent updates, and leaves the house in equal or better shape then when I left it. She follows all instructions related to medicines and anything else. I know my dog is in good hands.”


About: I have always been surrounded by dogs most of my life. I have fostered more than 30+ dogs for an NGO. All dogs of all varying sizes and ages were welcome in my home.

I will make sure your dog is taken care of and treated with love and respect. I believe dog's our our greatest gifts and our family. I work in a public school and will be avaiable to watch your dog or board them during weekends and school vacations. During the regular school year I am available to board your dog on weekends. I have a fenced yard and 2 fur babies to keep your dog company. Your dog will have plenty of exercise (as needed). I will make sure your dog has a safe place he/she can use (crate) when they need it. The dogs will have access to plenty of chew toys and bones. I have 2 teenage boys who will also take care of your dog and play with him or her.

About: I have cared for dogs throughout my life, most recently training my dog with severe separation anxiety and prey drive. Patience and commitment have been very important in my training. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well. I am currently working part time from home, so I have lots of flexibility. I love walking and my dog is getting older and not as active, so I would love to add more walks into my day! I am currently offering home visits for walks, feeding, and hang out time! I am comfortable with all size dogs and multiple dog homes. I house sit regularly so am very comfortable locking up and keeping an eye on the home. Making sure your pet is safe and comfortable is my top priority!

“Shanley has gone above and beyond the call of duty in caring for my 84 year old mom’s pugs. First, Shanley was quick to respond and communication is easy. She’s helping with a pug who is disabled and needs help walking to get outside. We appreciate Shanley’s care so much at a time of great need.”


About: I have been dog sitting for numerous different families for around four years. I adore animals and I like to think the feeling is mutual. I have always had a way with animals and love meeting new pets! I have a dog who is almost 8 years old who we got when she was 13 weeks old and I trained her. I am currently at home waiting to go to grad school to get my masters in psychology and dance therapy. I am around and would love to spend some time with animals while earning some money for school! Depending, I have stayed in families homes before for a week at a time caring for their pets and making sure they aren’t alone too long. However I can also just do drop in visits etc!

About: Becoming vegan has spurred my passion for spending as much time as possible with animals: pets of friends and family, volunteering at animal sanctuaries, and pets I meet through Rover. I have been a primary caretaker for cats and dogs for ten years (up to five at a time) and have also cared for fish, birds, pigs, cows, and more. I am diligent, responsible, communicative, and care deeply about our animal companions. In my free time, I love hiking, camping, sewing, embroidery, and watching the sun rise. I bike almost everywhere, so am in good shape and can handle high-energy dogs or multiple long walks a day. I especially love sitting for homes with multiple pets. Thanks to working from home online, I'm able to spend lots of quality time with your pets in your home and take frequent breaks for walks, play, medications, or anything else they need. Vaccinated for covid, still masking in public. Vegan for the animals! My schedule is flexible and self-directed, so I can easily plan around the needs of you and your animal companions. Just let me know what you need! Note that I typically schedule no more than 4-8 weeks in advance. Notice can be as short as a few days! For short stays or drop ins, you can be assured that I am neat and tidy. Happy to remove shoes in the home and of course clean up any messes that arise. For longer housesits, I can commit to regular cleaning and tasks like taking in mail or bringing garbage to the curb for pickup.

“Gabi was great with our cat and I would not hesitate to hire her to care for Mabel again. She was communicative, flexible, and gave me thorough updates everyday. I felt totally at ease while Mabel was under her care!”
