“Michelle is incredible! She has a natural way with our shy, anxious dog, quickly earning his trust and affection. He absolutely loves her! She’s reliable, communicative, and always takes great care of our home. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter—highly recommend!”


“My fiancé and I are so happy we found Bennie and Jennie to watch our 2 cats. We were impressed by their professionalism and their excellent communication. They gave us priceless peace of mind while we were on an overseas trip. When we returned, our home was spotless and our kitties happy. We would love for them to sit again anytime.”


“Breanna was amazing! We came in from Colorado and had a fishing day planned. She came and watched our pup and did a great job. Sent photos while we were gone and kept me in the loop with her!”


“Emily was AMAZING with my 3 pets. We have two huge dogs (mastiffs) and a skittish cat and she handled taking care of them perfectly. Our cat runs away and hisses at any strangers, but she warmed right up to Emily. My dogs also love her since she gave them so much affection and attention. She kept us updated throughout our trip, and she also cleaned our house and left it looking better than before we left for our trip. Emily rocks!”


“We've booked Katie for house sitting and already have another upcoming booking with her. She's knowledgeable, kept our house clean, and was easy to communicate with. Katie provided excellent care for our high-energy puppy and showed great affection for our senior dog. We appreciated all the updates with photos and videos, which kept us reassured and worry-free. We were initially concerned about finding someone who could handle our puppy's playful nature, quirks, and challenging behaviors, but Katie quickly eased our worries. Both dogs seem happy and well cared for, and we're grateful to have found someone patient and understanding of our dog’s unique needs. Looking forward to our next booking! Thanks again!”


“Brynn was amazing, I felt confident in her abilities to take care of our pups. Super communicative, really took the time to understand all care instructions! I feel like she left our place cleaner than we left it.”


“If I could give Irene more than 5 stars, I would! She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. From the moment she met our pup, we knew she was something special. She’s kind, attentive, responsible, and truly treats our dog like her own. We got regular updates, adorable photos, and could tell our Gigi was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone, but with her, we had complete peace of mind.”


About: I had a dog since I was 9 who sadly passed away after 13 years. Love dogs but can’t get my own until I move out. I watch dogs for family friends on the side. I love all dogs especially high energy dogs who needs long walks. I’m currently in a masters program Monday-Friday 8-5. I nanny kids with special needs through the week on a loose schedule. I’m able to leave school during lunch. I’m great at long runs/walks cuddles my sister has been working on rover for 2 years and we have a dog at our house every day of the year!

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! Outside of my own pets, I have had experience in both dog/cat sitting and house sitting for friends and family. From my past experiences, I have built close and trusting relationships with both animals and owners. I’m responsible, have great communication skills, and tend to be flexible with scheduling. I just graduated from college and I’m free these upcoming months (June-Aug.) for pet sitting and house sitting! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m open to daily and weekly check ups. I’m open to caring for each animal based on the owners requests and desires! I’m naturally a nurturing person so paying close attention to animals are my top priority!

“Amyra was awesome and I would highly recommend her! She was very responsive from the beginning. As soon as she met our dogs we could tell she is a ‘dog person’. She sent several pictures and provided updates daily. We are moving out of state, but if we were staying Amyra would be our go to dog sitter!!”

“I'm so pleased with Mary's care for my dog, regular communication with me, and keeping my home in great condition. Ripley is a senior dog with medical needs and Mary handled everything beautifully!”


About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, including those with health conditions. Growing up in a family that loves animals, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, as well as fostered animals in need. I’ve assisted with the care of my family’s cats, who are currently 20 and 21 years old, ensuring their comfort and quality of life in their senior years. From 2013 to 2018, I was responsible for the care of our American Bully dog (aged 7-13). Between 2020 and 2022, I took care of my roommate’s and my shared cat (aged 7-9. In 2023-2024, I fostered a special-needs cat with asthma and FIV (age 12), managing her medical care and providing a safe home. I also currently assist with the care of my boyfriend’s Havanese dog, Suki (age 7). Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal care, especially for senior pets and those with medical needs. I’m dedicated, compassionate, and committed to ensuring all pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for. I work a hybrid schedule, which allows me to offer consistent, around-the-clock care for your pets. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so I'm available to care for your pets throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I work in the office but am available to provide care after 5 PM. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always their comfort, safety, and well-being. I’m always open to discussing any boundaries or rules, whether it’s about pet routines, house rules, or anything else to make sure both your pets and home are treated with the utmost care. Additionally, I follow the principle of leaving a place better than I found it; whether that means tidying up, making sure everything is in order, or taking extra care to ensure pets are as happy and settled as possible. I believe in keeping clear, open communication with you, so you always feel confident about the care your pets are receiving. Whether it’s sending regular updates, discussing your pets’ needs, or being available for any questions or concerns, I make sure to keep my line of communication open.

About: With over a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, I’ve been walking, watching, and loving pups since I was 5 years old. From tiny Chihuahuas to strong, lovable Pitbulls, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, an energetic play session, or attentive care while you’re away, I’m dedicated to keeping your furry friend happy and safe! I am currently working part time and am a college student. On the weekends and throughout the week I am available for play dates and walks with your furry friends! I have a fenced in yard for all of my dogs at home, I take my dogs on hour long walks twice a day and sometimes more on the weekends. I make sure to keep them occupied and stimulated even when I'm not home. I love spending time with my animals and love every pet the same. I will treat your pets with the same degree of safety and love as I do for my own.

About: Hi, I’m Thomas! From playful pups to wise old seniors, I’ve had the joy of working with them all-and I treat each one like they’re part of my family. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle care, or time on the couch watching TV, I’m here to help. I understand that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and needs and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each one special. I currently work from home (aside from the occasional sales call or business trip) so I have plenty of time for walks on the Back Bay, bathroom breaks, and pets on the couch! I love having dogs around, and routinely watch my brother and sister-in-law’s Bernedoodle, Olive. I have no problem having your pup on my couch, and I’m also happy to hang at your home too!

“Bryce was so great with my two dogs when he dog sat for me for a few days. He followed all the instructions, gave consistent updates, and was overall truly excellent. I very highly recommend him!”


“Absolutely fantastic. She House/Cat sat for us and was very communicative, sent lots of photos, gave us many updates, and left the house immaculate. We can tell if a cat sitter hasn’t done their job because our cat gets stress dreadlocks. Our cat was incredibly happy and his coat was perfect when we got home. She also took him on his leash walks which made him extra happy. Highly recommended.”


About: I have always enjoyed taking care of dogs and other animals for 8 years! I am very passionate about creating a great environment for animals to be in. I will make sure to put in the extra effort to take care of your animal! I am currently a college student and I would love to find ways to still be around animals because I won’t be around mine. Taking care of animals brings me a lot of joy and it is something I can’t wait to fit into my new schedule! When taking caring of pets in your home I will make sure to prioritize safety, comfort, and trust both with you and your pets. My goal as a sitter is to make your pets the most comfortable and help keep their daily routines!

“I was absolutely thrilled with Mirae's care of my 16 year old dog, Matilda, this past weekend. From the moment she arrived, Mirae was attentive, responsible, and clearly experienced with dogs. She kept me constantly updated with thoughtful texts and frequent, adorable photos of Matilda, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Matilda looked happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable in every picture. Mirae was also exceptionally punctual and tidy - my home was spotless when I returned, and everything was in perfect order. I would trust Mirae with Matilda again in a heartbeat! Truly top-tier care!”


About: I cared for my family dogs when I was a kid that sparked my interest in animals. I then went on to house sit for my neighbors' cats when I got older for a little over 2 years. Now I own my own dog that I walk, feed, groom on my own. I love meeting new dogs, thanks to him and would love to care for your sweet fur baby. I currently have a very flexible full-time schedule that allows me to work from home when I need to. Therefore I can be available for some week-day walks, but always available for weekend walks and with advance notice available as well for day and night sitting. I have a patio with lots of toys that my dog enjoys and a really plush walking path I take him on that leads to a private dog park for the dogs to run around and play fetch!

She has looked after my Suki on several occasions, and each time, she has demonstrated an exceptional level of responsibility and genuine love for Suki. I would describe Anna as incredibly reliable and attentive. She meticulously follows all given instructions, from feeding schedules to medication routines, and always goes the extra mile to ensure my pet is comfortable and happy.

“Sydney did an amazing job of not only walking our pets, but also giving them love and attention while we were gone on a week long vacation. Our mini schnauzer and maltese mix are family to us so it was important to have someone we could count on. She made sure to follow all home instructions as well as protect our packages while we were away. Sydney was amazing at caring for our dogs and our home like it was her own, and we will absolutely use her in the future!”
