“Julie has been caring for our cat with drop in visits lately and I can tell our little guy loves her a lot. She is always communicative and sends the cutest photos of him.”
“Lia took such good care of my two kitties and 1 yr old dog. She was attentive to detail, a great communicator, and very consistent. I would not hesitate to have her care for my pets again! They were so comfortable around her, even my shy kitty! I think that’s a big testament to her experience and skills.”
“Our cat loved having visits and snuggles and we loved getting updates. Morgan and Meaghan were professional, cordial and so sweet with our cat. We would definitely go with them again.”
“Nick was the best dog sitter! We had drop in visits scheduled, and he was so intentional with spending time with our pup on each one. We will definitely be booking with Nick for our next trip!”
“We were so fortunate to meet and work with Jennifer to watch our cat. She was extraordinarily great to work with- she communicated and sent photos every day, and went above and beyond the call of duty to help ensure our pet’s needs. We loved working with Jennifer, and if you’re reading this- absolutely reach out to her and feel like your loved one is in great hands!”
About: I am a neuroscience graduate from BU and was briefly a a PhD student at CUNY and now work for a nonprofit. I have had two beautiful dogs, a white lab and a black lab German Shepard. They were both super energetic and cuddly. Both have recently passed away. Despite being small, I’m great at handling dogs of all size and demeanors. I was a cat sitter for 8 months for two sweet orange cats: May and Pumpkin. They’re a bit older but are playful sweeties Currently my availability is pretty open and I’m also pretty flexible. Apart from my own pets, I have cat, dog, and rabbit (yes) sat for many friends and family and have always been asked to do it again. I also have worked as a dog walker for 6 months for dogs as large as German Shepards to chihuahuas. Though we did not offer house sitting, I have done this for many friends and from walking, have experience entering and leaving homes respectfully and befriending dogs without their owners present. Dogs bring me so much joy but I can’t have my own due to my lease so I’d love to play with yours :) and I love my cats but am always excited to meet new ones I am currently job searching for a 9-5 but am really looking for a great fit so I don’t anticipate starting immediately and… I love animals!! I try to leave everything as I found it. I am happy to go over your special pals needs. I will probably update you/ask questions the first day or so just to make sure I can have the best time with your pup. I also send tons of pictures!!!
About: I first started caring for dogs when I was 11 and my family adopted our then 12-week old puppy, Tulip (beagle-hound mix). I was the primary one responsible for her feeding and afternoon walks throughout middle and high school. I also routinely dog sat for neighbors who at the time had a senior poodle, providing daily drop ins and walks. Since moving to Boston, I have been fortunate to become a regular dog walker for neighbors and friends, with experience walking shihtzus, German shepherds, labs, and boxers. While I now own two cats, I would love to get outside and enjoy the summer weather with some new four-legged friends! I work for the public schools, so I am off all summer! I am happy to provide drop-ins or walks throughout the morning and afternoon M-F, with some availability on select Saturday and Sunday afternoons. **School ends on June 26th this year - on dates marked as available prior to June 26th, I can only accommodate afternoon walks between 2:30-7pm. I have cared for puppies all the way up through seniors dogs in their final days, so I am happy to accommodate the specific needs of your dog based on age and temperament. It is my existing habit to send a photo to friends of their dogs every time I visit or take them on a walk, as a way of making sure they know I have actually completed the service and their dog has been properly cared for!
“Meg was amazing! She stepped in last minute, was responsive and reliable, and clearly cares about the dogs. She asked great questions, sent updates and videos during her visits, and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely book her again.”
“James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.”
“Marie did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away for a week, she was very responsive and our kitty was clearly well taken care of and happy when we got back. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Ann-Marie did a wonderful job taking care of our 10-year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Zeus. She stopped by to walk and spend time with Zeus three times a day for almost a week and provided helpful updates throughout. She was really great!”
“Rev was great with my girls during her drop ins at our home while I was away for a conference. She came in on time and took many pictures. My girls love her and we trust her to take care of them.”
“Jana helped us out very last minute! She was flexible when I asked her to come a little earlier. Will definitely request Jana again. Highly recommend!!”
About: I was in 4-H with my horse growing up - was raised with black labs, cats, and pigs. I volunteered to foster with PAWS and the Humane Society. I love having the flexibility of working remotely.... Keeping furry Family members company with much love, as well as getting to know new animal loving people! My current job has me working from home, occasionally having to spend a few hours a week performing tasks outside the home. I am never away more than a couple of hours (unless pre planned) so, I will have plenty of time to give your pet all the walks and playtime that they would like. I am very respectful and responsible. I can provide references upon request. I understand that each pet and household is different and will follow all requests exactly as specified.
“So glad to have found Caroline! it was Coco’s first time with a new person and the visit went great. Very good communicator. Really appreciate her taking care of Coco!”

Fourth time is the charm! As always, Nathan took exceptional care of my two cats, and I love that they trust him so much. Thank you Nathan for going above and beyond caring for my packages and food shipments, I always am comforted knowing you are taking care of things at home! All the best, Stephanie.
Sophie did a wonderful job with our two cats! They clearly felt very comfortable with her, and I appreciated that she went above and beyond looking after them and our home, playing with them, keeping the place clean, and keeping us informed. Will gladly book her again :)
I was so anxious about leaving my two cats for several days but Avery made me feel so much more comfortable with it! She was kind, responsive, provided great photos and detailed updates, and she even went the extra mile to help with window closing/opening when it was raining and very hot. I am very grateful for her and her care for my animals. Absolutely would book her again. Thanks Avery!!
This is the second time Eleanor has watched the kitties!! She is so attentive with them and ensures everything is as they need it. The cats are so comfortable wit her! Eleanor also saved me when the roof above litter room decided to leak while I was gone - she ensured the water was taken care of and arranged everything so that it minimized any impact until I arrived home that evening - so thankful!
