Rev was the most responsive, caring and thoughtful caring person! She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!

Kelsey did an excellent job house-sitting and watching Moose for me. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of him and my home. Moose was happy and relaxed when I got back, and I really appreciated the updates while I was away. I’d gladly use her again — highly recommended!

Amy was great cat sitting for our precious kitty! She sent lots of cute updates, which we appreciated so much and did a wonderful job medicating Savannah for the first time. We came home to a happy cat and a clean home. We are looking forward to booking with Amy again for all our cat sitting needs!

Cynthia was very responsive and responsible right from the beginning. Given that we had had some past unpleasant experiences with house sitting, she was very receptive to our instructions and kept us informer. On the day of our return, as our flight was landing late, she offered to stay back late till we arrived! We would be definitely using her services quite often.

Ginny is a fabulous catsitter and great human. I almost don't want to leave a review so that she's always available for me! I'm a nervous cat mom with a cat who is indecisive about all other humans. She'll rub up against you one minute and the next she'll hiss. Ginny handled this like the pro she is by letting me know, but also reassuring me that she understands that cats like their space and learning Cassie's moods and styles. She's determined to get Cassie to love her, while simultaneously giving Cassie all the space she needs. Ginny also kept me filled in every day with pictures and updates and soothed my anxiety while I was gone for the longest I've ever been. I strongly recommend Ginny... but I come first :)

Ariauna was a great pet and house sitter! Our home was in immaculate condition when we returned and most importantly, our dog was extremely well taken care of with lots of love, attention, and exercise. Ariauna made sure to pay close attention to all our neurotic notes and instructions sent us lots of pictures and updates about our dog Dempsey. I think it’s safe to say he has a new best bud :) Ariauna also catered to all of Dempsey’s silly quirks and administered his meds with ease. We would highly recommend Ariauna (and her sister Serena!) for all your pet and house sitting needs.

Erin was the dream sitter! She asked all the right questions to get to know my dogs’ needs and immediately understood them. She went above and beyond to make sure my two dogs were safe and loved on, and communicated with me so I had peace of mind while I was gone. With a puppy and an anxious dog, that was so huge. Highly highly recommend booking with Erin!

We can not say enough good about Luis and the care he took of our two pets: Baloo (a 4 year old hound dog) and Soupbelly ( a 8 month ish old kitten). We were out of the country for a little over three weeks in which Luis attended to every need of both pets. In addition to the usual care, he also took Baloo to nearby off leash parks, which is his favorite thing to do. In addition to graciously sharing his bed with both pets he spoiled them with treats and outings and kept us up to date with lots of pictures, which were so appreciated. Being so far away, it was a relief to know our pets were so well cared for and loved in our absence. And last but not least, he took great care of our house which was an added bonus!

About: Hi there! I’m so excited to meet you and learn more about your pet and your current needs. I know finding a sitter can feel a little nerve-wracking, so I focus on being consistent, communicative, and truly attentive to your pet’s routine and comfort. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from Great Danes to Labs to Frenchies to teacup Yorkies. I’m comfortable with senior pets and medical needs, including administering daily insulin and following strict feeding schedules and dietary guidelines. I’m calm, patient, and detail-oriented, and I focus on helping pets feel safe and settled quickly. I don’t currently have a dog in my home, so your pet will have my full attention and care. I work from home full-time, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Dogs get frequent outdoor breaks and attention, and cats get steady check-ins, calm company, and routine-based care. I live directly across the street from the Arnold Arboretum, which is a wonderful, peaceful place for daily walks, and I’m also close to several dog parks for pups who enjoy more active outings. I have two children with me 50% of the time, and they’ve grown up around both dogs and cats. That being said, if your pet is not child-friendly, please still reach out. My children are with me every other week, and I’m happy to coordinate care to make sure your pet is comfortable and set up for success. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet with someone new, and I take that trust seriously. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care needs, and I’m thoughtful about each pet’s comfort, boundaries, and routine. For dogs, that means consistent walks, safe supervision, and steady structure. For cats, it means calm energy, predictability, and respecting their space while still making sure they feel cared for and secure. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for, and you feel fully informed and supported.

Mokeisha was an excellent sitter. She was incredibly responsive, and I felt completely confident that my dogs were in great hands while I was away. She checked in throughout the day with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. With freezing temperatures outside, she was especially attentive to making sure the dogs were safe and comfortable during outdoor time. They were clearly spoiled with attention, cuddles, and treats while in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Mokeisha again and absolutely plan to do so.
