“Nikki and her family were awesome for our dogs! A huge backyard to play in, plenty of pictures, and 0 issues the entire stay. It made my vacation much better since I didn't have to worry at all. Will definitely use them again!”
“Ariane and her family were wonderful with our sometimes-anxious cockapoo, Millie who spent 10 days with them while we were out of the country. She went for walks alongside Ariane's two dogs, lay in the sun on the fenced deck, joined Ariane in the car on errands and fully participated in their family life. Ariane was great at sending frequent updates which were much appreciated. Millie seemed relaxed and happy when I picked her up - she will definitely be a returning guest!”
“Lindsay is very welcoming and kind. She is experienced caring for dogs and even fosters dogs who need temporary homes. She sent updates and pictures, and our dog returned home happy and healthy after a week in her care.”
“Mike and Linda took such great care of our dog, Winnie! She was very clearly well cared for, and they followed all of our instructions perfectly. Winnie seemed to have a wonderful time with them, and we had total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend—5 stars!”
“What a wonderful visit my Timmy had with Donna! It was his first visit with her and there will be plenty more to come. She is a very caring, loving woman who goes out of her way to make sure her visitors are comfortable, happy and safe!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Katherine helped me through it! She sent updates and photos at the right cadence while I was away. We both agreed that a space with a yard would be a better fit for my husky mix if I should use Rover again, as he needs a lot of more intense activity. One small note is that my dog was barking at her cat during the stay, and there didn't really seem to be a way to keep them separated. He does well with my cat, but I guess not necessarily new cats! So just something to keep in mind that if your dog really does need to be separated from a cat, it's not the right space.”
“Krista was amazing! I would definitely use her again for my Charlie! She is a real dog lover and is very professional. I was nervous leaving Charlie for so long (12 days), but Krista kept me posted with pictures and texts. I would highly recommend Krista!!”
“The communication with the Allie was outstanding, start to finish. She promptly responded to our initial inquiry and took the time to schedule a meet-and-greet. During this meeting, she asked comprehensive questions about our dog's routine, dietary needs and any specific quirks or preferences. This attention to detail immediately instilled confidence in their ability to provide personalized care. Throughout our time away, Allie sent pics of our dog, reassuring us that all was well. We felt really comfortable leaving our dog with her, as her house was clean, safe and filled with positive energy. Our dog seemed right at home from the beginning. We would recommend Allie to our friends and would use her services again in the future.”
“Kathy did a great job caring for my two dogs, one of whom has behavioral issues, the other being a cool cucumber but it was his first boarding experience. She kept me posted on their activities and provided them with a great environment where they could chill and, more importantly, play.”
“Erika has been an absolute gem with our dogs! She kept us updated with their daily activities, making sure they had fun walks and were well-fed. It’s clear she cares deeply, creating a home away from home for them. They were happy and relaxed under her watch. Highly recommend Erika for anyone needing a caring and attentive dog boarder!”
“Myleigh did an excellent job with Mollie! She came home quite happy and in great shape! Even had had a bath! I got a great picture of her while away which made me feel great! Highly recommend!”
“Kathleen is an amazing dog sitter! I wish she lived in California!! I would 1000% book her again. She is so sweet and clearly experienced with all kinds of dogs. We were visiting family in Boston and ended up booking her last minute after our original sitter canceled on us the day after we arrived. Peanut LOVED Kathleen. I’ve never seen her feel so immediately comfortable and at home with a sitter. Kathleen was very communicative and made me feel so much less anxious about leaving Peanut with someone new. She sent videos of Peanut discovering all of the toys she has for dog guests. She takes dogs for walks immediately after they are dropped off to help distract them from the anxiety of being left by their owners. I was really impressed by her experience and professionalism. She was also very communicative after we picked her up as we left Peanut’s anti-anxiety stuffed dog at her home. She mailed it to us and was prompt about communication. Peanut loved her! If she lived in California she would be my go to sitter. I can’t recommend Kathleen highly enough!! Hopefully someday we’ll have an excuse to go back to Rockport so Peanut can meet her again!”
“Carol was very loving and nurturing to my dog while I was away! She regularly gave my dog Belle enrichment like walks, cuddles and playtime with her gentle dog, Taco. Carol handled all care instructions like a pro as well. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. My pup is like a fur baby to me and I’d treat yours like my own. I enjoy going on long walks throughout the day and lots of love in between. Cats are a new love to me and enjoy spending time with them. I currently have 3 and I’ve learned alot about the behavior and best quality’s of each. I will be home full time. Currently working from home doing various tasks. So your pet would not be left alone for long periods of time. Fur friends are allowed on anything they can fit on if allowed by you. I do have a dog she is about almost 8 and fixed. Newest addition is a 5 month old
About: I love spending time with dogs and I am the go-to neighborhood dog walker or sitter. I have a soft spot for senior dogs but I love them all. My favorite thing is walking pups on the dog-friendly beach near my house. I’m recently retired so I have plenty of time to look after your furry family members! I can work with your needs to keep your pet safe and happy when you can’t be there. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is safe for walking. We have a large yard and access to a dog-friendly beach. Inside, there plenty of room to roam or relax, and I never object to snuggles on the couch.
About: I have professionally worked with all animals with all types of temperaments, disabilities, allergies, reactivity, etc. along with training, physical therapy, and massages when needed. I have also trained puppies, cared for senior pets, handled dog altercations, and done emergency vet visits. I am currently working part time, my job will only consume a small portion of my day, otherwise it will be spent with your fur babies. Before the owner leaves I always like to confirm all the nitty gritty information. Which includes allergies, the pets boundaries (if they don’t like their ears or paws touched etc) and most importantly their schedule. My work schedule is flexible so that gives me more leeway to make them satisfied, such as a specific feeding time, specific walk time, and anything in their daily routine. I notice small details, if they are lethargic, the color change of their gums, if their belly is hard or soft (indicators they may need medical attention) and handle it fast and professionally. And I am very educated on bloat which I always keep an eye out for especially during the hotter months.
“Benson had a wonderful stay with Liza. We got a ton of photos during the stay and benson was wiped when he got home. It is clear he was well taken care of and got a ton of play time while we were away. Thank you Liza!”

“Julie looks after my dog, Magnus, and does an amazing job. She treats him like family, making sure he gets plenty of fresh air and exercise and is fed on his schedule. Magnus gets all excited when he sees her and I know he is in good hands.”
Savannah D.
“Savannah has worked along side me for about 2 years at our job. She has excelled in everything she did, she was so caring & sweet to all the dogs at our work. Whether that be Geriatric guests, ones that needed a little support because they were anxious, or some extra love, Savannah was always there for them. She gave the nervous/ fear aggressive dogs a chance. She was always adamant on making sure every dog was taken care of properly, and if a medical concern were to arise, she always made sure to be one of the first people there. Savannah one of the most amazing people I have ever worked with. Any dog is lucky to be taken care of by her.”
