“John is always really nice and attentive to Bruno's needs. Bruno seems happy after being with John, and John seems to enjoy having Bruno there. We have utilized John's services about 5 or 6 times now and I will continue to do so in the near future.”

“Mipha's first time at daycare after her spay, she was so excited to finally get to play with other doggies. Melissa made sure to update with plenty of pictures and videos. She was also very quick in replying to any messages/questions/requests you may have.”

“Very professional. Communicates accurately and to the point. I will repeat often and frequently because Shamus needs caring socialization. I believe this dog operator genuinely cares about each one of the dogs and seems to understand my specific golden retriever breed. My 10 month old golden is maturing slowly, but surely and this may be what Seamus needs most. Jack”

“It was obvious to me that she was having a real good time with not only the other dogs but the children as well which makes me happy to know that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much for taking good care of my fur baby”

“Jessica and her daughter were fabulous hosts!! First off where they live is phenomenal!! It is so green and surrounded with wilderness. Loads of beautiful hiking areas and a nice big house!! They both come across as really gentle giving kind hearted people who are great with animals!! Bruno had a great time with them and was ready to go to sleep when we got home last night!! I would definitely recommend them and plan to use them again in the future!!”

“Melanie watched my 4 year old Australian Shepherd, Sadie on a moment notice. Her friendly snd inviting personality made it easy to trust her care. She gave us picture and text updates on Sadie so we knew she was doing just fine. I would highly recommend to a friend and I plan to use Melanie in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for all that you do!”

About: Hi! I’m Nico! For years, friends and family always called me first when they needed a pet sitter, the pets and I both loved it! For 15-years as a butler and personal assistant to families in NYC & LA, management of high quality pet care has been one of my favorite responsibilities! Feeling lucky to have learned from all the best celebrity dog trainers in the world! My husband Matthew and I are new-ish to Franklin County, Massachusetts, and my current local clients would gladly provide references if you wanted to hear how care I’ve provided for their furry family members! I am currently working from home, writing a book, and would love more reasons to get up, get out, walk, and have some pets in the home too! I have dog bowls, beds, toys, and a big yard backed up to the woods for fuzzy friends to enjoy! If your pooch is not great off leash, that’s ok! I also have an outdoor pen and doghouse to keep them safe while I’m outside gardening! I love to have the dogs near me at all times!

“Thank you Forough and Amir! We were nervous at first how Russell would do and how he would get along with other dogs, so we were so relieved to hear that he fit right in! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Forough and Amir again and look forward to scheduling another visit!”

“Sofie is the most amazing petsitter I have ever met. Moki and Ollie were well cared for on a very stressful house-moving-day and Sofie was a kind and generous host even as she navigated their upset tummy issues. Thank you, Sofie; we will return when the boys are feeling well and settled and less stressed out. I appreciate you wholeheartedly.”

About: I worked in an exotic vet hospital for 7 years which is also a wildlife rehab facility. Prior to that I have raised and cared for animals of all species of my own my whole life. Whether fury, feather, scales, or more I love just about every living being & critter. I will care for your pets like they were my own. *Making a note that poisonous/venomous or illegal animals are not acceptable or allowed. I have experience with reptiles like geckos, bearded dragons like my own, iguanas, turtles, birds of all shapes, color, and sizes, some farm animals, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and things of the like. Animals that are venomous or harmful are excluded.* I care for and hang out with my fur babies, but there's plenty of room and time for more friendly faces. I work hard so my pets can have a good life. 😂 I frequently walk my dogs and can take yours around the neighborhood as well, lots of dog toys, pats and belly rubs, and can crate your pup if needed. Im also willing to help with some trainings and house breaking if requested.

About: I am dog mom of two; I have two golden retrievers and have experience working with puppies and also adapting their training skills and making sure they are stimulated. A stimulated dog, is a happy dog. I also have experience making healthy homemade cooked meals, as I feed my dogs daily a healthy home cooked diet. I currently work from work Monday- Friday but have a flexible schedule and also available for weekend work. I currently am looking for side work to maintain a busy schedule and lifestyle. I have two golden retrievers at home, Brooklyn and Belle. I will always ensure safety if a pet is brought to my home and make sure a crate is available at all times in case a pet needs space. If I travel to your home, please assure I will take all measures to make your pet comfortable and build my trust with every visit.

About: Pet sitting has always been super rewarding for me, i grew up on a farm so it is in my nature to connect with them:) I am currently on summer break so my schedule is pretty flexible! just shoot me a message and we can figure out which dates work:) When i am pet-sitting i prefer to be provided with a list of your animals routine, what time do they go out? feeding times? their favorite toys and places to walk etc! I am a student so my preference is sitting at the clients homes, or sitting them at my home. i love thorough communication with my clients and prefer to know what i am welcome to in the home, where to go etc. (I will always respect client boundaries!)

About: I love dogs. I have a rescue her name is Snickers and shes 7 months old. I've had dogs all my life. How anyone can hurt man's best friend is beyond me. She is like my child and makes me smile, keeps me company and I dont know what I would do without her. I love her with all my heart and wouldnt trade her for the world. I would treat anyone's dog like I would my own. They are all special in their own way. I would be honored to take care of your dog, I look forward to meeting you very soon. Thank you, Robin K I work full time at home and I'm able to walk my dog and take her out anytime! I'm available all day. My Snickers would love a play mate. I dont have crate but if yours needs one you'll have to bring it. I'm very diligent in taking my pup out all day long.

“Giannina and her family are very nice people. They watched my dog for a day while I was at work. He came home content and tired out.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for 10 yrs. My family has always been grateful that their pets are loved! I work at home Mon - Fri 8 AM- 4:30 PM with a 1 hour lunch. I have two dogs and one cat that are always happy! My fiancé will take care of our pets if you would prefer that I go to your home so your pets are as comfortable as they can be! I provide multiple potty breaks and one 30 minute walk after 4:30 Mon - Fri. On the weekends I will take them out for an adventure if wanted, play fetch or whatever their favorite game is! If you would prefer I go to your home that is ok also! I will ensure your pets are happy and healthy and provide you as many updates as needed!

About: I’ve always had pets, indoor cats, Maine Coons, small and large dogs, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I’m currently a Master of Social Work student, and while helping people is my professional calling, working with animals is my personal passion. I bring patience, dependability, and a nurturing presence to every interaction. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra TLC, I provide compassionate, attentive care. I treat every animal like family and work hard to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and adapt to their needs throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends, so I can provide reliable care even when pet parents are away for longer periods. Whether it’s keeping them company, maintaining routines, or just making sure they feel safe and loved, I’m here to help. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I follow all instructions closely, whether that means feeding schedules, medication, litter box care, or playtime preferences. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, and I always respect the home I’m entering. My goal is to provide attentive, compassionate care so that pet parents feel fully at ease while they’re away.

“Mandy was truly a life saver when my husband and I were both I'll with the flu and the poor dog needed excersize. Mandy came to the house and picked up the dog and brought him to a dog park to run around. A couple of days later m husband dropped him off at Mandy's house to play with her dog. I am so, so grateful for Mandy and her compassion and flexibility and going the extra mile. I will definitely be using her services again, under less dire circumstances. Thank you Mandy!”
