“Our dogs had a blast at Nicole’s place. They got to run around in her nice fenced in yard, played a lot of fetch and got to cool off in the kiddie pool. Nicole and her family are obviously dog lovers and I was so happy we left our girls with them. I would highly recommend Nicole to care for your pups as if they were her own.”
“Thanks for taking care of Jaxi, John. We could tell she was in good hands and will definitely have her stay with you again if we are in the area.”
“Amanda's home was clean, welcoming and well set up for pet care. Amanda's pricing was fair and honest and she was amazing with communication throughout the day. It was obvious that she loves animals and my dog agrees as she was excited and happy on the days that she was in Amanda's care. I highly recommend her!”
“Briana made me feel so at ease leaving Moose, even on short notice. He was clearly relaxed, happy, and safe in her care. The thoughtful updates and outstanding photos meant the world. We’re so grateful—and will absolutely book again!”
About: As a psychiatric nurse, I offer gentle, attentive care to people in vulnerable moments. I bring the same calm, respectful presence to the pets I care for. Their feelings and situations are accounted for while I tend to their personal needs. I work part-time on an as needed basis and can work around the schedules of my clients. Available on short notice, including nights, and 12-24 hours' notice is preferred. I have a lightly fenced yard and two friendly dogs. A canine guest may be offered crating for sleep, or they are welcome to bring their own bed. Must be cat friendly. If caring for a pet in a client's home, care will be provided in their own environment precisely as they are used to.
“What a wonderful family! Luiz & Patricia are incredibly professional and kind (as are their daughters & pup!) and made my girl feel right at home. She came home exhausted after having spent much of the day running around outside and playing with their dog & daughters. I always LOVE to get updates during a stay, and I received so many fun pictures and videos. I could not recommend them more!!!”
“Nikki was great! My little Pom went with her right away when she’s usually a total momma’s girl. The dogs seemed very happy and sleepy, and Nikki was very helpful getting us on our way when we were late for a wedding!”
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!
“Hayley had Féirin for the day, and after that Féirin seemed happy, healthy, and tired. She fell asleep in the car on the way home. What else can you ask for?”
“My two great danes had the best day playing with Rachel's dogs and relaxing. They felt at home immediately when we dropped them off, and are definitely missing Kevin! Very grateful and will for sure be using again if I they need to be watched.”
“Zippy seemed to have a great time! Carter did a great job with him. Thx!”

“Mady was great with Molly and communication with our fly by the seat of our pants schedule. She watched Molly for 2 separate days. When we pulled into the driveway on the second day Molly was excited to be there. If Molly is happy, I'm happy. Thanks Mady!”

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: I've had dogs of various breeds since I was 7, and participated in competitive dog obedience and agility training in high school. I love to go on walks, and would look forward to getting to known your pet! I work from home, so I am around most if not all of the time. Our backyard is fenced and I love to take regular walks! I can care for your pet at my home or yours! Let me know your pets needs and we can find a schedule that best suits you.
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.
“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.”
“Laura was very welcoming and I felt confident leaving my anxious dog with her. Her property is a beautiful place for animals to spend the day. We had a nice conversation at pick up and I appreciate her kindness. My dog was very comfortable with her.”
About: I’m always happy to meet a new furry friend! I have a dog that I regularly spend time with (Finley, a beagle hound mix) who loves to run around our spacious back yard. There is a wonderful pond (perfect for pups taking a dip) just a 10 minute walk down our remote road. I am well practiced in house sitting and caring for animals in a relaxed and positive manner. I work part time as a waitress so my schedule is very flexible. Usually I will be able to return in time to accommodate bathroom breaks and walks. I have a very large yard with a long leashed run. I am happy to accommodate crating if that is preferred. I spend a good amount of time with a playful medium sized beagle mix if your pup would like to have a pal.

Nico M.
“Nico is an absolute DREAM! Her energy is immaculate and just being around her is a gift. I literally don't trust anyone to take care of my baby and she came through with flying colors during a very difficult time! Layla, my dog (65lb female pitbull) had just gone through a very traumatic surgery and needed a lot of special care and love. Nico came to my house and stayed with her everyday for 2 weeks. Not only did Nico go above and beyond with Layla's care, she was extremely professional and 1000% trustworthy. Nico kept Layla on her strict medication schedule as well as changed the dressings on her wounds, a very tricky job that requires extreme patience and calm energy. She also sent me regular daily videos and photos and kept my anxious heart at ease. Layla is a dog reactive girl and Nico made every precaution to keep her safe and happy. Layla also loves to chase squirrels and can sometimes be a lot to handle on a walk. Nico was a complete pro at handling these sometimes difficult situation and even did some training with her during her stay. Layla and I are absolutely in love with Nico and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is lucky enough to have even just a little bit of her time. PLEASE TIP HER WELL SHE IS A GEM!!!”
