We highly recommend Lauren. We came home to a happy dog and a tidy house. She was great about communicating and sent some really cute pictures. Honestly, we were kind of glad our normal kennel was booked or we wouldn't have connected with Lauren.

Thank you, Erica, for asking important questions, approaching our rescued pup with appropriate gentle moves, finding his comfort level, taking the initiative, communicating clearly with thousand-word photos, and leaving our home cleaner than we left it. You gave us peace of mind--priceless--and we are grateful to you.

About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of animals since I was 12! I have two cats and two dogs of my own and have taken care of the animals of my friends and family reliably for years. I love all animals and have even taken care of chameleons, lizards, and ducks! I’m a college student home for the summer so I have a lot of availability for your animals! I can do both housesitting and drop in visits, and would be happy to spend time with your animals on weekends or weekdays! When watching animals, I am always sure to clarify all of their needs and schedules! I have experience in giving both cats and dogs medications, and would be happy to learn the specifications of your animals!

Lilly took great care of our pets and our home during our vacation. There was a blizzard that came through the area while she was sitting with us, she kept us informed and comforted that she was on top of things. We were concerned that she might have difficulties if we lost power, etc. but she was very assuring that she had everything under control. She even shoveled our front steps before we got home! Anakin and Lily obviously liked her, they were content and happy when we returned. We will definitely want to have her again if need be. Thank you Lilly!

We are thrilled to have found Steph! She took brilliant care of our many animals while we were gone! Her diligent and affectionate care gave us confidence and comfort that our fur babies were in the best of hands. We will hire her again in a heartbeat!

I chose Matt because I had read his reviews and he lived up to the reputation! I think dogs are a good judge of character and she warmed up to him immediately upon his first visit to meet her. I had plans to leave the country and needed to feel like my pup was in good hands and well cared for. She has some special needs and Matt made sure she received the care she required. I loved the updates, pictures and videos Matt sent, all which helped me know she was happy and healthy. She even is jumping on people less! He somehow taught her to stop this annoying behavior and I need to find out how he did this!! I definitely would recommend him!

We had a great experience with Lori house sitting our American Bully & Pit mix. Lori asked questions ahead of time, reviewed our instructions, and sent us text and photo updates. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciated all of her communication.

Jaclyn knows the many moods and temperaments of dogs. Under the extraordinary confusion of a major home renovation project, she was able to settle our rescued pup upon arrival. We appreciated her excellent questions, skill, patience and forthright approach to leading him towards full exercise, calm homecomings and lots of fun in between. Thank you, Jaclyn!

Gabe took my overactive dogs on hikes and runs, gave them all the peanut butter kongs, and even kept my outdoor flowers alive in the dead heat of summer! Would definitely rebook.

Kaylie came and sat with my two girls overnight last week. She sent me pictures when she arrived. Let me know everything was OK. When I got home, the girls were healthy and happy to see me and you can’t ask for anything more than that! Thank you so much, Kaylie, I’ll look for you next time I have to go away!

Saige was fantastic! She house sat and cared for our older rescue dog, Rico, while we were away for a week. Saige sent regular updates and photos, and we were completely at ease knowing that Rico had settled into his normal routines so quickly with Saige. We have another trip coming up and we are looking forward to Saige taking care of Rico for us again!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve helped care for dogs belonging to family members, friends, and neighbors over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, medication reminders, or gentle care, as well as more active and playful dogs who need attention, walks, and engagement. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, calm, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I recently graduated from UMass Amherst and currently have a flexible schedule this summer, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available for cat drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m organized, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, litter box care, behavior changes, and each pet’s personality and comfort level. I understand that some cats are social and playful while others need patience and quiet space, and I adapt my approach accordingly. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, detail-oriented, and reliable when it comes to instructions and communication. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away!

About: I have been around dogs for 20 years. I have pet sat for old dogs who can’t really walk any more. I also have worked with younger puppies. I am currently a college student. During the semester I can do most weekends, and can do morning and night shifts during the weekdays. Once the summer starts I can do all days. I am good at following owners instructions. If dogs need crated or need training I am capable of doing that. I also can walk dogs and keep them safe.

Lilly was an excellent dog/house sitter! We have a sweet, energetic golden retriever, and Lilly took loving, diligent care of him and the house while we were away for 6 nights. She sent photos and updates, and she left the house clean and tidy. She even picked up his poop from the yard in our biodegradable bags. She came by before we left for an "orientation," too. Lilly has our highest recommendation!!!!

Emma took great care of our two pups for a week and left our home nice and tidy. One of my dogs required a weekly shot, so it was nice she had prior experience and could administer it herself. I appreciated that she reached out with questions, it showed she wanted to give the best care and meet the needs of our dogs.

About: Ive been caring for pets for many years. I had a dog walking business over a decade ago. We taken care of our own and others elderly dogs. We like taking dogs on long off leash walks in groups if possible. Dogs are always welcome to cuddle up on the furniture. Im a stay at home-mom, homeschooling. We go to play groups and trips but we can plan our day around dog walks. We take the dogs out first thing in the morning on leash as our yard isnt fenced. We are happy to come feed kitties and water plants. We love taking dogs out on walks and caring for them in our home. We love going on long walks mid day out in nature
