Frida was great! She watched our cats for over a week, they tend to be shy but warmed up to her and let her pet and play with them by the end. We appreciated the updates and photos she shared as well :)

Marc did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and a cat for a week. Our dog requires medication- Marc was on top of her meds schedule . We came back a little earlier and the house was clean. We had instances with other pet sitters where this was not the case. Both girls are happy and well taken care of. We would trust Marc with them again. Thank you!

Amy was phenomenal! Not only was she highly professional taking notes when first meeting our pup and asking great questions, but she was attentive and clearly very loving of our dog throughout her drop-ins! Amy was fantastic about updates throughout the day, tons of great photos, and even took Echo out on walks around the neighborhood. Her love for animals shines clear, and honestly is everything you'd want in a sitter. Amy will be our new regular sitter for a long time! Thank you for everything.

About: I've taken care of many different types of dogs for friends and family. Small dogs, large dogs, doesn't matter. Trust is important to me for the relationship with the dog. I work a full time job in Somerville and am available any time after 4:30. I live in Hillsborough. I have many bank holidays off. Whatever rules you have for your pets and home will be respected and followed. If I am watching your pet I intend to give them attention the entire time.

About: I have a passion for working with dogs and helping them and their humans have the best possible relationship. Regardless of your pup’s age, personality, medical (or other) needs, I’m happy to step up and be a positive part of their day. I’m lucky enough to have a very open schedule during the summer, especially during the day. That means I’m super flexible and willing to work with whatever your scheduling needs are! The love and compassion that you have for your pup is being passed into good hands. Your pup will thank you for entrusting them to my care!

About: What Makes Your Pup's Day Special! 🐕 Personal Adventure Time - Every dog gets their own customized experience, whether that's exploring new trails for the energetic labs or gentle neighborhood strolls for the senior sweethearts 🏠 Home Away From Home - Your dog stays in my cozy, dog proofed space with comfy beds, interactive toys, and a secure backyard for playtime and potty breaks 📱 Real Time Updates - You'll get photos and videos throughout the day so you can see your pup's adventures and know they're having a blast 🎾 Enrichment Activities - Beyond basic care, I provide mental stimulation through puzzle toys, training reinforcement, and socialization with other friendly dogs (if your pup enjoys it) My Promise to You: - Emergency vet contact and pet insurance knowledge - Medication administration experience - Flexible pickup/drop-off times - Detailed daily reports about eating, bathroom habits, and mood - Genuine love and attention for your furry family member Available Services: - Overnight boarding in my home - Daily dog walking adventures - Midday potty breaks and feeding - Weekend getaway care I became a dog sitter because I believe every dog deserves to feel loved and excited about life, even when their favorite humans aren't around. pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my schedule, it IS my schedule. I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

About: I love animals so much I wanted to become a vet when I was a child. I instead chose to work with humans and equally love my career as a teacher. I am off all summer, so I am looking to not only earn a little extra money, but also keep your furbaby company while you are away. I am currently 7 months pregnant, so we are being strict on size and age of who we will sit. We limit the size we watch to 25 pounds and we won't watch any new clients younger than 5. Zach (my husband) and I have 3 of our own small dogs and boarding with us would be a great option! We have a fenced in yard and even a lure course to keep your baby entertained in the backyard. Our home has a doggy door, so they have full range of outside when they need to do their business, making potty training even easier! I am cat and dog CPR/first aid certified through American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time teaching summer school and coaching the summer robotics team. My husband works full time from home, so your pup will get a lot of attention. We have a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe during their stay. This also allows plenty of exercise. We have 3 of our own small pups, one who loves playing and running around, one who loves sleeping, and one who loves fetch to keep yours company, no matter their personality.

Ola was an angel! We had to make two modifications to our original booking over this holiday weekend and she was so helpful and accommodating. She went above and beyond my expectation when it came to cleaning up a pet mess in our home. And she was so kind and loving to our fur babies each and every time she came to see them. I am so grateful that we met Ola and I look forward to working with her in the future.

Jessica did an excellent job taking care of Bella and Audrey, even during several very cold and snowy days. She was attentive, patient, and thoughtful, and made sure the dogs were safe and comfortable despite the challenging weather conditions. We really appreciated her care, flexibility, and attention to detail, and felt very confident having the girls in her care. Highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
