“Mirabel always sends great updates and photos! She has taken care of our dog and 2 cats a couple of times, and they are always happy and healthy when we return!”

“We have two pets that require daily meds (multiple times a day) and Tommy was enthusiastic to learn and care for them. He was always on time and extremely communicative. We got daily pics of our babies too which was a massive plus for us. Thanks again, Tommy!”

“Cynthia did a great job taking care of our elderly cat and sometimes over enthusiastic pit bull. She is professional, responsive, proactive, and a great friend and caretaker of pets. I highly recommend her.”

“Belen was kind and patient with our dogs. First time we ever had someone take care of our pups and we felt completely confident and comfortable that they were in the best hands!”

“First time leaving our pup with someone who he doesn't know very well but it was a great experience! He even cried a little when Anastasia was leaving, will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you for fantastic service!”

“Morgan and Meaghan were exceptionally kind, professional, and communicative while housesitting for my dog Kaya. I received daily updates and photos that made it clear Kaya was well attended to and completely comfortable with them, and I came home to a spotless apartment. It was obvious from the updates that Kaya was being her usual snuggly self, which is the best endorsement of all. Morgan and Meaghan would be top of my list to stay with Kaya again!”

“Ella spent a weekend with our senior dog and both he (and our house) were in great shape upon our return. She kept us updated with many photos and check ins and we felt very comfortable with Otis's care. Hopefully, she will be able to sit again soon!”


“Laura took excellent care of our cars and they warmed up to her very quickly, even the shyer one was cuddling with her by end of day! Received multiple pictures and updates daily. We will not hesitate to rebook her and recommend her!”

“Aymbre watched our two doodles and was amazing! She updated us when several issues arose, and helped us resolve them with ease 😊 we are excited to have her watch the dogs again soon! Thanks so much!”

“Darlyn is reliable, a great communicator, and was very patient with my highly reactive dog. Thanks for working with us, Darlyn! We had some schedule changes because of the snowstorm. Darlyn was flexible and also made sure Pedrito got one last walk before the snow started. Highly recommend!”

“Belkis is fantastic! We were so grateful to find her last minute! She was incredibly helpful, reliable, and took such great care of our pup while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals, and we’d absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Azizah is incredible. She is so good with my dog, and he can be quite challenging! She takes everything in stride. It makes going away so much easier knowing my pup is in such good hands.”

About: I love all dogs and cats! I have experience caring for dogs both large and small. My family dogs were two Havaneses and a Sheepadoodle growing up. Outside of my dogs, I have cared for a lot of mixed breeds. I am more than happy to sit with your pets and just hang out with them! I can also do in-home visits for pet sitting. If you need a dog walker, I have experience with walking dogs up to 70 pounds. I am currently a grad student, so my availability will change each semester and I will update my availability as needed. I am happy to walk dogs in the morning or pop in to hang out with your pets during the day. I am comfortable going to someone's house to walk your dog or drop-in visits by the hour. I will feed your pets and make sure to monitor what he/she needs. I will also happily take your dog out for however long of a walk they need!
About: I’ve had the pleasure of owning a pug, multiple chihuahuas, and an Italian greyhound. I absolutely adore dogs and cats and I am eager to provide first class service for your pets so that you can take a break and enjoy life! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for overnight stays as well. I work from home and make my own schedule so I am always there for your pets! I work from home and make my own schedule so I am able to provide 24/7 watch / care for your pets either at your home or in mine (minimal amount of furniture, dog bed, studio - lots of space).
“Sev was THE BEST! It was the first time we were ever leaving our puppy alone/without family, and she put all of our nerves at ease. She was extremely friendly, professional, communicative, trustworthy and took the best care of our little guy. She stayed at our place and left our apartment in pristine condition. Will definitely be trying to work with her again whenever we need a sitter - we can't recommend her enough. She's as good as it gets!!”

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years as a dog mom to three very different pups, each of whom taught me something different about caring for dogs. I’ve cared for a disabled dog who required daily hands-on care and mobility assistance, a large senior dog, and a nervous/reactive dog. Because my own dogs had needs that made leaving them with someone else stressful, I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust. I was always the nervous dog mom asking a million questions and worrying while I was away, so my goal is to give other dog parents the peace of mind I always wanted. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, mobility needs, medications, diapers and hygiene care, nervous or anxious pups, and dogs who simply need a little more patience and understanding. These days my home is a little quieter, and I have a lot of dog-mom love with nowhere to go. I’d love to give your pup a safe, comfortable home away from home where they can settle in, be loved, and be treated like one of my own while you’re away. *We also live 5 minutes from the Logan airport - which will make drop off and pick up much easier if you are flying out* I’m a consultant with a flexible schedule and work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Our mornings are pretty flexible, so your pup’s day can start with a walk, breakfast, potty time, and plenty of attention before I begin my day. On the days I do go into work, I plan my schedule around the pups staying with me and aim to never leave them alone for more than 3–4 hours at a time. Whether your dog is used to being crated when home alone or prefers to free roam, I’m happy to follow the routine they’re most comfortable with. My boyfriend, Eric, will be part of their care. He is home after 2 PM Tuesday through Saturday, and I don’t work weekends, so between the two of us there is plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping your pup company. I know every dog is different, so I want their stay with me to feel as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m happy to follow your pup’s feeding, walking, medication, sleeping, and crating routine, including dogs who are more comfortable having their own space. I live in a dog-friendly area of East Boston with the waterfront and beach right behind me, so there are plenty of options for walks and outdoor time. I also understand that a dog-friendly neighborhood isn’t necessarily ideal for every dog. If your pup is reactive, nervous, or uncomfortable around other dogs, I’m comfortable adjusting our walking route and schedule to give them the space they need. I also have a dog stroller available for senior dogs or pups with mobility limitations who still enjoy getting outside. Most importantly, I’ll never force your dog into an environment or interaction they aren’t comfortable with. I want your pup to feel safe here and you to feel comfortable knowing their individual needs are being respected.

“Jennifer was great. We had a last-minute cancellation by another dog sitter, and were worried about finding someone. Jennifer was fast to reply, very communicative, and most importantly took great care of Crosby over the Thanksgiving holiday break. We will definitely ask her to watch him again!”

Devon took care of our senior girl. He is so patient and adapted to her schedule. Even making adjustments as needed to ease her anxiety. I was nervous leaving her, but she was in good hands with her new buddy. I would definitely book again. And I’m sure our dog would agree.

Anastasia is a true professional that you can trust to take excellent care of your pets while you are away. She cared for our 80 pound Great Pyrenees who can be reactive, and our very needy and social cat. She loved our pets like they were her own, gave our dog her daily medication, and kept them happy with plenty of play and walks. We had complete peace of mind when we were away in the UK. We came home to a very clean house as well- she truly went above and beyond!! I highly recommend Anastasia for whatever your pet sitting needs may be.

Ellie did a phenomenal job house sitting for us! She was communicative, caring, and went above and beyond. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone thoughtful and attentive to watch your animals. We had to adjust our plans slightly and reached out somewhat last minute. Ellie was quick to respond, and we were able to set up a meet and greet within an hour or so of back-and-forth. She was timely for the M&G and made us feel completely at ease prior to our departure. While we were away she sent us updates (photos and videos) of our two dogs and cat, which is always appreciated. Lastly, it was a difficult weekend weather-wise, and we heard no complaints from her. If she can handle two dachshunds during a nonstop weekend of rain, she can handle the most stubborn of pets! We'll look to book with Ellie again in the future if possible -- 10/10!

Janelle is a very communicative and kind pet sitter! I felt good right away knowing she had a cat at home, but also because of her thorough questions during our meet and greet. When staying for 5 days with our 2 cats, we got normal updates on mealtimes and behavior. We arrived to 2 happy cats and a home as clean as we had left it. Absolutely would recommend Janelle to care for anyone’s pets!!

Chandler was great with my dog when I had to go out of town. It was my first time ever using a sitter and I was nervous but once we met and I saw how my dog reacted to her and how she let him do his thing, I felt way better. She sent pictures of him while I was gone and kept me updated about things which was so helpful. I will definitely be reaching out to her again when I need someone to watch bear again!

Lena is the best! She not only watches our pets but it’s clear she genuinely enjoys being around them. She also goes above and beyond to do little things that she sees to help us out — emptying the dishwasher, running a load of laundry, or taking the trash to the curb. It’s such huge help to know our pets and home are so well cared for while we’re away.

Viktoriia is the best! She took such great care of our puppy and sent us lots of updates throughout the night. You can really tell how much she loves dogs and genuinely enjoys caring for them! We felt so comfortable leaving our little guy with her and will definitely be booking her again!

Bethany was great! She was very responsive over chat and sent adorable pictures of Finn each day, so I knew he was having a great time with his new sitter. When I got home late, a light was left on for me and Finn was excited to see me, but also seemed completely content. Thanks so much, Bethany!

Raul took care of both our cat and home while we were gone for nearly 4 weeks and we could not have asked for a better sitter. We came back to a happy cat, tidy home, and received many fun pictures while we were gone. We will definitely be reaching out for future house and cat sits.
