“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“Dana and Nia are truly exceptional pet sitters — caring, understanding, and the kind of people who instantly put you at ease about leaving your furry family member in their hands. Our dog Kippy can be quite a handful. He has a nervous temperament and takes time to warm up to new people, but Dana and Nia were incredibly patient. They took the time to really get to know him, and it showed — Kippy was visibly comfortable and at ease with them, which honestly says everything. On top of that, they were wonderfully flexible and gracious when we ran late, never making us feel rushed or guilty. That kind of warmth and understanding goes a long way. If you’re looking for pet sitters who will treat your little loved ones like their own, look no further. We couldn’t recommend Dana and Nia more highly!”
“In addition to the usual amazing taking care of our dogs, Casey wowed us (unsurprisingly) with her grace, quickness, and thoughtfulness when I messed up by not communicating the wanted pickup date. We worked fast to find a solution to take good care of the dogs until the end, and my husband and I are yet again extremely grateful for Casey and the top notch service she provides. Thank you, Casey.”
“Steven was great with our dog. We boarded her with him for a long weekend She is a nervous girl and often barks at new people. When I dropped her off he took her leash and her treats and immediately got her to sit and calm down. During her stay with Steven he sent us photos, which I appreciate. When I picked her up she was in good spirits and wagging her tail which is always a good sign. We will definitely be using Steven's services again.”
“Claudia and Jason are truly amazing dog sitters. They took excellent care of our large Aussiedoodle , who never likes to be separated from me. They took him on many varied walks and on one of them even got him a pup ice cream, had cuddle time, time for play and rest. He returned home calm, confident and tired. I fully trust Claudia and Jason and am so grateful to them.”
“Arianna took great care of my pup for two weeks while I was out of the country. She sent pictures daily and was great about keeping me up to speed about any health issues. Will contract her again for my next trip”
“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”
“Eric is warm and caring and has a wonderful way with the dogs he cares for. Our dog Moose had trouble staying with another sitter but did great with Eric! We felt so comfortable leaving Moose with him.”
“Christina was great! She sent me a bunch of photos each day and took Leo on multiple walks daily! He was tired when I picked him up and that takes a lot to do. Will absolutely book again”
“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“My dog loved staying with Gina. He usually has a difficult time being separated from us, but she made him feel comfortable and secure from the very beginning. He seemed completely at home in her care, which made the transition remarkably easy for both him and our family. Gina is clearly very experienced with dogs, and she took exceptional care of Parker. We felt confident knowing he was in such capable and caring hands.”
“Lyn is the best. Thoughtful, considerate, and loves our furry baby. Our few months living in Cambridge wouldn’t have been the same without Lyn watching our little Rosie. ?♥️”
“Phillipa was wonderful. She took the time to understand my dogs needs which I’m very grateful for. Ava got plenty of love and exercise, and I can tell that she felt very safe and cared for during her stay. Thank you so much Phillipa!”
“Zelun and his wife took AMAZING care of my dog while I was gone for over a week! They sent pictures and videos, took him on a little day trip (pre approved) and definitely loved my pup as their own while I was away :)”
“My dog Tayto loves going to stay with Jason and Noah! He is clearly so happy and comfortable there that he runs to their door when we arrive. Jason sends the best photos and videos throughout his stay. Tayto can’t wait until next time!”
“We had a great experience with Ashley. She took great care of Slash and gave frequent updates. Her pup Kevin is also very sweet with other dogs. Will definitely use her again!”
“I can tell my puppy had such a fun time at Danya’s! She is super reliable and was so quick to answer any of my messages. I loved getting pictures of my baby while I was away as well!”
“Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)”
“Emma sent lots of pictures and kept me updated about what they were up to! My dog seemed very happy and comfortable staying with Emma and I would trust her again to watch my dog while I’m away!”

Alan & Ying were wonderful, attentive, and took such great care of Charli while we were away! ❤️ We especially appreciated the daily photos and videos, along with the extra attention they gave to cleaning her eyes. Charli seemed so happy, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands — we truly appreciate everything and would highly recommend Alan & Ying and plan on using them again!
Tauryn was wonderful to my dog, Ozzie! She's a great communicator and I got so many pictures and updates, and knew he was in great hands the whole time. They went for lots of walks, even to the farmer's market. With her schedule, it was super easy to coordinate pickup and drop off. Thanks for giving Ozzie such great care, Tauryn!
