“Emma is a terrific sitter- couldn’t recommend enough! My dog is standoffish and immediately got along with Emma. I feel like my dog is in good hands and don’t have to worry when she’s taking care of her.”


“Ann is the best! She is reliable, communicative and goes above and beyond what is required for housesitting. She has stayed with our pets several times, both long weekends and for over a week, and she has taken care of everything. We know that our home and fur babies are in capable hands when Ann is there. I hope she never stops doing this!”



“Eko and Sarah were great! They responded right away to my request and during their house-sitting they communicated any questions clearly. Got lots of pictures of our pup from their walks and overnight. It brought us such peace of mind that such lovely and attentive people were caring for our dog while we were away! Will definitely book with them again!”


“Sammy did a wonderful job caring for our pets: Zeiss, Freya, Reggie and the chickens! She was excellent about communicating daily by reaching out with questions or concerns, and providing a daily summary of how things went. In addition, she left a final day's report to let us know if we were running low on any supplies. I found Sammy to be respectful, communicative, responsible and she left the house neat and clean. The ONLY room for improvement would be if Freya was walked on her leash; - she is a puller and strong willed though, so I understand why! Sammy was wonderfully patient with Freya and her escapades of escaping our yard, and we worked together to find the right solution for keeping her safe and getting outdoor time. I can tell our cat loved the attention he got and I think he misses Sammy!”


“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”


“Kayla is an amazing sitter. She took care of our two reactive fur babies for a recent weekend trip out of state. It was our first time entrusting anyone outside of family and close friends with Bark and Hachi and Kayla quickly won over both of them. We are so excited, relieved, and grateful. We will definitely be staying in close touch !”


“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”


“Amazing, as always! Danielle does a great job with our two cats and they’re always happy when we get home. Highly recommend and we will definitely be reaching out to Danielle again in the future.”


“Amanda was super prompt and responsive while we were out of town! She stayed at our home with our clingy border collie and gave great updates and pictures - they got out and about as much as possible during a heatwave but had plenty of snuggles and scritches inside in the AC. She left the house in perfect order. We would love to have her stay again in the future!”


About: Growing up, I was the kid who naturally gravitated towards the animal in a crowded room. I find comfort and peace in the presence of animals and in taking care of them. Over the past 5 years, I’ve been trusted to pet sit for my neighbors and friends while they’ve been away from home. I have special experience taking care of senior dogs, giving them their medicine (pills, insulin injections, eyedrops) at scheduled times. I am currently working part-time in Worcester while I look for a full-time job in the education field or nonprofit sector, so I have a pretty wide availability throughout the week. When taking care of pets in my own home, I gradually introduce the animal to my family (if they seem nervous or scared) before fully integrating them into my home. When I'm at a client's home, I always make sure to lock the doors when I leave a house, clean up any messes, and double-check that the animal I'm caring for has enough food and water, and has been given enough love and pets.

About: I’ve cared for many dogs of different ages and problems. I will take your dog for a walk. I have a good yard. I’m very reliable and trustworthy. I would be with your pet most of the day. Unless I have to run errands. The pet will have my apartment to roam. I generally only do one dog at a time except if they come as a pair. My yard is partially fenced. I would take your pet on on walks with the leashes. The dogs have free range of my apartment. Thanks!

“Thank you again for taking such great care of Luna and Wilma (and the fish) while we were away for the week! Plus taking in packages/mail and keeping us updated through out!! It’s so much easier leaving knowing the house and animals are well cared for!”


“Cara was great when watching Pepper. She showed up early so we could give her all the instructions for Pepper. She communicated often to let us know how Pepper was doing and sent regular updates. We'll definitely request Cara's services again in the future.”


“We used Tosya for a week stay with our two dogs. She was respectful of our home and took great care of our two dogs! She provided updates on them which was much appreciated and left the house as she found it. We would highly suggest Tosya for dog sitting and hope to use her again in the future!”


“Nadine is wonderful! She is an experienced rabbit sitter and gave Frankie the best care. She is kind, attentive, and a clear animal lover. We knew Frankie was in good hands. We will definitely be using her again.”


“Kayla is awesome! She went the extra mile to make sure our pets were well taken cared for and felt comfortable, also given us the peace of mind on a persistent basis while we were away on trip, regarding our 5 fur babies. Kayla is very organized, reliable and flexible to the pets needs and schedule. I would highly recommend!”
