About: Hey! My name's Ray, I live in Boston, and I would LOVE to walk or watch your dog! I have a pup of my own (Shark, who's in my profile pic!) who I love, and have taken care of for over four years now. I have wide-ranging experience with tough pups - reactivity, resource guarding, fear / anxiety / aggression - and am more than willing to learn how I can give your dog the care and attention they need. I have experience in fear-free training, as well as positive reinforcement training. I have extensive knowledge of great dog routes in and around Boston, specifically Jamaica Plain and Charlestown. I work a 9-5 remote job, but I can be flexible! I can walk dogs between 7-9 AM or 5:30 - 8:00 PM EST on weekdays. Weekends are more flexible throughout days and nights! I operate on the fear-free/positive reinforcement model of care. Our pup has reactivity and anxiety issues, so my main priority is establishing trust and understanding how each dog wants to be cared for. These aren't just accessories, they're living creatures with emotions and feelings, but no feeling is too big for me!
“It was great to have Kaitlin watch Jed for our weekend away. She was very communicative, and took great care of him. We were happy to come home to a content and comfortable cat. This was Kaitlin’s first time watching Jed and we will definitely look forward to having her care for him again soon. Highly recommend.”
“Michael was great taking care of our difficult cat while we were away on vacation. He was very accommodating to her behavior and needs and I felt relaxed on my trip knowing she had someone caring looking over her. I would recommend him to anyone. He send pictures and updates everyday. Just great overall.”
About: Grew up with dogs, owned a cat for 10 years. Volunteered at Hawaii Humane Society. Experienced, no fuss, and reliable. Your pet’s needs covered, stress free. I just graduated and I’m taking some gap time to decompress because it was hard and I’ve earned it. My schedule is very flexible and open. I’ve taken care of my pets, my friends’ pets, my roommates’ pets and I’ve done volunteer work. My cat is my son and my husband. I love on him when he wants it and I let him be when he doesn’t. If you leave instructions for me and tell me what is needed I’ll follow them. I’m also able to keep a cool head in emergencies. You can rely on me to communicate and make informed decisions.
About: For nearly my entire life I have taken care of my two dogs, Eddie and Shorty. Between raising them as puppies and taking care of Shorty in his later years, I have had the pleasure in taking care of my dogs. Over the years I have helped sit and take care of guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and many other pets! No matter the animal, I treat them with love just as if they were my own. I can walk or watch your pets any weekday! As for overnight sitting, the same applies. I work part time in politics so I should almost always be able to fill your requests. I can provide care to your pets in your home when needed! If given with instructions on how to take care of your pets, I can accommodate to all of you and your pets needs.
“Julie was an excellent cat sitter and went above and beyond in taking care of my two cats while I was away. Julie made sure they were well fed and entertained and took incredible photos! I will definitely rebook.”
“Jennifer is everything you'd ever want in a cat sitter. She's super experienced with animals, organized and communicative. She's also funny and warm - you'll feel totally at ease leaving your littles with her. We had some nuanced stress and medication situations going on that she was totally both able to trouble shoot and stay in touch with us on. And lastly she really seemed to enjoy our cats. I give her 11 out of 10.”

Niki T.
“Niki is an exceptional pet parent. I have never seen a cat adore its owner more than Fox loves Niki. We are roommates and she always feeds him on time and plays with him until he no longer has the energy to play. She makes sure there’s enrichment in his life as well as many cuddles. He is a sensitive boy with pretty severe allergies and she is vigilant in making sure he stays healthy. She routinely grooms him and if I had a pet of my own I would not hesitate to ask Niki to care for my baby!”
