“Mirabel is the VIP! She did an incredible job with my fearful cat while I was out of town for a week in the middle of invasive renovations to our apartment. Knowing she was looking after him gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“Nick was such a pleasure! He was timely with his check-in visits for our two dogs and provided great updates each time. Definitely planning to work with him again!”

“Whenever we need a cat sitter, we always check to see if Julie is available to watch them first! She shows a lot of care when visiting our cats and we really appreciate the updates and photos she sends our way while we're away.”

“Alissa was wonderful! I wasn’t worried about Buster at all while I was away because of her detailed reports and photos from each visit. Will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Emily was amazing. She took great care of our dogs and was very understanding and accommodating when unforeseen circumstances led us to booking at the last minute. Will definitely use again in the future and recommend her!”

“Emily is a very sweet, kind, loving person to animals, and compassionate. She went way over above and beyond to ensure our pets were well taken care of and given affection and admirable attention to. The best pet sitter we’ve ever had!! HIGHLY APPRAISED AND A KEEPER :-)”

“We chose Caleb because he was a cat-forward sitter, and he took great care of our special needs cat! She received plenty of attention and all of her medications as needed. Caleb shined even more caring for our aging and declining senior dogs who started needing extra attention as our trip came closer. We greatly appreciated Caleb and would happily rehire him!”

About: Dedicated pet lover with a lifetime of feline and canine companionship. Professional dog walker for 6 months, skillfully managing groups of up to 5 dogs at a time in hilly Arlington and Belmont, MA. Have cared for many friends’ cats with varying needs including administering a cat inhaler for kitty asthma. As a grocery store employee, I need to pick up extra work to help pay the bills. I would like to fit one or two dog walks into my day a couple of days a week. I will protect your pet's safety by staying off my phone while on walks and maintaining awareness of my surroundings. I will pay close attention to your dog's physical state during our adventures together, especially in extreme weather circumstances, to ensure that they get adequate exercise while avoiding physical suffering.
“Anastasia was fantastic! She went out of her way to make sure our little scaredy cat Jake was super comfortable, and even went back to double-check on his comfort. She also was very communicative and prompt. And even brought in our mail! We will definitely be asking her for her services again! She’s wonderful!”


About: I love dogs and have been around them my entire life. Growing up, my family has always had two labs who I often take care of and sit full time when my parents are away. I also have experience walking and sitting dogs of many different breeds! I’m currently a student at Northeastern University, but I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pups! I have Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday open, and am available after 2pm on Mondays and Thursdays and between 10:45-1 on Wednesdays. I have two dogs at home so I am more than comfortable spending time with your pet! Taking care of two trouble hungry labs, I know to make sure to keep a close eye on them :)

About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have experience with a wide variety of species. I've been handling and looking after dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, giving me years of hands-on experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care while you're away. I'm currently taking some time between finishing graduate school and starting my postdoctoral position, which means I finally have something scientists rarely get—free time! I've decided to spend it doing something I genuinely enjoy: caring for animals. This flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet, whether that's stopping by for visits, playing, feeding, administering medication, or simply keeping them company. I know every dog/cat has their own personality (from "cuddle enthusiast" to "please admire me from across the room"), and I'm happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel most comfortable. For me, pet sitting is the perfect way to combine my love of animals with helping fellow pet owners have peace of mind while they're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that every cat is different, so I take the time to learn their individual personality, preferences, and daily routine to help them feel as relaxed as possible while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both your home and your pet's established routine. I'll follow all feeding schedules, walks/litter box maintenance, playtime, medication instructions, and any special requests you have. I also make sure doors, windows, and gates are secure at all times and keep a close eye on your dog's/cat's behavior and well-being. I'm happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can see how your dog/cat is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, cared for, and loved until you're back home.

“Jaci was the best. She was so sweet with our girl, and able to help take crew out and feed her while we were out at a wedding. Will be using her again! Could not recommend more. Communicative and you can tell she loves the animals she care for!”


“Sent great pictures, was very communicative, and reached out as soon as she had any issues. We greatly appreciated her availability, timeliness, and friendliness while watching our three pets! Handled providing a variety of medications well.”


About: Ever since working at a pet boarding kennel in high school, I have loved caring for others' animals. My friends regularly depend on me to check in on and spend time with their cats and kittens of varying ages. I work from home with a flexible schedule, and am happy to drop in when needed for feeding, play time, or anything your furry friend may need. When cat-sitting for friends, I love to spend as much time as I can with kittens who are used to more social and play time. I am beyond happy to give as many treats as you see fit and send videos of your furry friend while you're away.
About: My family and I have raised 11 guide dogs for the blind. I have seen first hand the training that goes into making these dogs service animals in their first year and a half of life. During this time, I became known in my small hometown as the go-to animal sitter when family and friends would go on vacation. I'm currently working part-time and would like to do this full-time once I'm able to gain a clientele. I'm committed to providing exceptional animal care for those that need it. I have 3 cats myself so I will be doing my services outside of my apartment. If need be, my cats have been around dogs before so it wouldn't be a problem if your furry friend needed to come here for a bit!

Liza always takes the time to love on my kitty the way she needs it best. She is accommodating and how she communicates about my kitty makes me know without a doubt that she loves my kitty just as much as if she were her own. That is priceless! Liza will always be my go-to sitter.

Alissa was absolutely amazing with my husky. She took great care of her, great communication, and very good at accommodating my dog’s needs. I felt very safe knowing that my girl is being taken care of. I definitely will be booking with her again and I highly recommend her :)

This is our third time booking with Sarah and we couldn’t be happier with her services! She takes excellent care of our two cats, even our skittish boy is in love with her. We look forward to her photos and stories of our kitties after each visit. Highly recommend Sarah to care for your pets!

We chose Caleb because he was a cat-forward sitter, and he took great care of our special needs cat! She received plenty of attention and all of her medications as needed. Caleb shined even more caring for our aging and declining senior dogs who started needing extra attention as our trip came closer. We greatly appreciated Caleb and would happily rehire him!
