“David, we felt an immediate calm when we met you and saw you with Harry. Our snowboarding trip was a blast and we did not worry about our boy. We hope you will be willing for more stays…we want to snowboard more!”

About: Hey there friends, My name is Hope. I’ve spent over 10 years walking dogs and caring for pets throughout Boston, NYC, and now as I travel all over. During this time Ive become certified in canine CPR and first aid. Safety first! Lucky for me, I only do non-pet related work on the weekends so I am entirely free to care for your pets anytime during the week. When I pet sit at other peoples homes for multiple days, besides the care and routine of the pets in need to know: when the client would like me to arrive/depart, a preferred place I can sleep, what I can and can’t use in the kitchen (salt/pepper ect), if I can/can’t use things like the washing machine if necessary, general house rules and security.
“Gina was very kind and watched our 2 mini aussies and house sat while we were on vacation. She left the house clean and exactly how we left it. Was a very respectful house guest. We will definitely book her again.”
“Whitnee was great and my dogs loved her!”
“Deb was wonderful! Our rescue dog got comfortable with her real fast and slept most of the time. The peace of mind that our separation anxiety dog had a sitter he felt safe with was phenomenal. Thank you!”
“We were so fortunate to have Hailey care for our very busy and loving one year-old golden lab. We were out for a full day and we had no concerns at all about the care for Gracie or our home. Hailey is one of the most reliable, trustworthy, and easy-going sitters we’ve had. She followed our guidelines, gave medication and left the house spotless. We will be reaching out to Hailey again!”
About: Ive had 2 boxers and a Cavapoo for my entire life. I I I love dogs and have been raised with them. I also spent time in Portugal rescuing dogs from wildfires & finding them homes. I love to spend time with animals. I already have a dog and have dog sat many times in the past for friends and family so taking in one more dog is always a pleasure. My grandparents used to have two kittens that I would need to take care of along with my puppy, so house sitting is super normal for me. I will make sure dogs receive plenty of attention and exercise on a daily basis. I spend a good amount of time playing games with the dogs as well. We also live in a quiet town on a cul-de-sac providing a safe environment for the puppies. For cats I have a large indoor space that is carpeted with lots of windows and things to climb on.
About: I have grown up around many different kinds of animals. I have lived on a farm for my entire life and love every second of it. It is hard work but very rewarding. I also went to an agricultural high school where I graduated with a certificate in animal science. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own. For my farm animals I currently have llamas, goats, and ducks! I do have a few people that I house sit/ dog walk for and I enjoy getting to know all furry friends! I’m currently a student at Gateway Community College and have a part time job with the YMCA. My schedule is pretty flexible considering though. I work through the summer at a camp working with students from 8am-1:30pm. During the school year I work from 6am-8am then 2pm-6pm Monday through Friday. On the weekends I am typically free! I usually walk my dogs on a leash but they are also trained off leash. I also take them to many trails and to as many pet friendly places as possible. For others I like to get as much detail about your animal as possible to make them feel as comfortable as possible!
“Lacy was great ! She came over for a meet / greet and spent a lot of time with me and my dog ! She answered all my questions and asked some good questions of her own . She was very responsive , polite , flexible, and punctual. She sent me messages and pictures of my dog while I was away which I greatly appreciated! I arrived home and my house was in order as I left it ! I will definitely use Lacy again and would highly recommend her !”
“Hailey was great! The pets loved her and she was super responsive”
“Emily stepped in last minute to house sit and watch our dog. She was so lovely and sent updates and photos every day to let us know how he was doing. I would definitely use her again!”
About: With years of hands-on experience interacting with dogs of all breeds and temperament, I’ve developed a deep understanding and genuine passion for canine care. From working closely with shelter dogs to supervising group play sessions of up to 60 dogs, I’ve learned to manage pet dynamics with patience, awareness and confidence. My background is supported by numerous courses in canine safety, behavior, communication and proper interaction techniques. I’m also trained in administering medications and handling special care needs, ensuring every dog - whether in a home or social setting - receives the attention, respect and care they deserve. I currently work at a dog care facility part time. My schedule varies by day but I remain committed to accommodating my clients whenever possible. When I take care of dogs in a client’s home, I try to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both the dog and the owner. I stick to the dog’s usual routine- feeding, walks, playtime, and any meds they might need- so they feel comfortable and at home. I also send updates and photos to reassure my clients’ that their pets are happy and doing well.
“Nikki was a great dog sitter. She gave pup updates and sent pictures and gave my dogs the attention they needed. She was respectful of our house and left it as she found it. I would definitely have Nikki come back to care for my dogs again.”

We would never hesitate in hiring her back if she were to relocate. You can’t go wrong with Hope. She loves dogs and will treat them with same love and kindness you would expect.”

19. Michael D.
“Mike has cared for my dog Sammy on several occasions, and I have been consistently impressed with the level of care he provides. For context, Sammy is more than just a pet—he’s family. I don’t entrust his care to just anyone. Mike’s dedication and reliability stood out so much that I specifically chose him to care for Sammy during his recovery from majority leg surgery. Mike is not only patient and trustworthy, but he also has a remarkable intuition when it comes to understanding and handling dogs. His natural ability to connect with animals is evident in how comfortable and well-cared-for Sammy is in his presence. I have confidently recommended Mike to several friends and will continue to do so without hesitation.”
