Colleen did a wonderful job watching our dog for a week while we were out of town. She left our home extremely clean and was very communicative with updates and photos. We’d recommend her for anyone looking for pet care and house sitting!

Patricia did a great job caring for our kitties. One gets a bunch of medications, and the other gets stressed without human company, so it’s not easy leaving them. She was so communicative, flexible and thoughtful. The cats were happy to see us when we got home, which is their way of saying they had a good time.

Christina did a great job with Kali! It was a huge relief to know that she was getting as much attention as we give her (and more so). We missed our baby while out of town, but never once worried.

I could not recommend Shauna more! She stayed at our home with our pup for over a week while we were on vacation and our house and dog could not have been in better hands. She sent wonderful updates/photos and cared for our place as if it were her own. Having someone so responsible while being away made our trip just that much more enjoyable. We can hardly wait to have her back and I know our furry friend agrees! Thank you, Shauna!

About: We have had a dog in our home for almost 20 years. Spending time with our dog is always the best part of our day. Whether it be running, walking, or snuggles on the couch we are happiest with our four legged friend. We know your dog will love spending time with us and our 2 year old English Pointer. We also have two children 16 and 10 that love dogs as well. My wife works 100% remote and I work 75% remote. We do multiple daily walks, runs, and hikes. We are up by 6am and last potty break will be after 9pm. We have a very friendly 2 year old English Pointer. We can also crate your dog at night if that is what you prefer to make them comfortable.

About: If you need over night boarding, I only board dogs at my house if they are crate trained. Thanks for understanding! I have been around dogs for over 10 years. I have experience owning a working breed, there is nothing I haven’t seen! I am comfortable with different training methods and tools. I am currently working full-time in a hybrid role, remote Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays to help dog sit and dog walk during my remote days. To start, I am able to dog sit/walk only at clients homes. If they are crate trained. I am happy to take care of the dog at my house with a fenced in yard.

About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve cared for everything from outside cats and dogs to chickens and reptiles, which makes me comfortable with all personalities and needs. I’m calm, patient, and dedicated to giving your pets loving, reliable care. Neighbors and friends have also trusted me to care for their home and pets while they are away, and they have been more than satisfied! I’m not currently working full-time, so I have a lot of availability and flexibility to care for your home and pets! I am available everyday of the week. I am very respectful of my clients’ homes when I am caring for their animals. I would love to be able to care for your animal in their home so they feel comfortable!

About: I have never lived in a household without pets before, so taking care of cats and dogs (and fish) is something I’ve done my whole life. I’ve owned three black labs and multiple cats over the years. I especially love big dogs, but am a big fan of all animals! Besides Saturdays, I am available any day and any times through the summer. I start law school at the very end of August and will have less availability at that time, but I will still be looking for work! I love to keep my pets active and enriched, whether that means going on a walk, playing fetch in the yard, or going to the beach for a swim!

About: I've raised dogs and cats my entire life — goldens, Bernese mountain dogs, labs, and mixes — and I'm completely devoted to animals. After a decade as an institutional trader, I'm taking a year to focus on my own business and on what I love most: caring for dogs every day. That background means I'm reliable, calm under pressure, and disciplined about medication schedules, feeding routines, and clear daily updates (and great at handling unique client needs). Comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and high-energy breeds. I'm home full-time this year while I build my own business, so your dog has constant company — no commute, no daycare drop-offs, no long stretches alone. I'm flexible on pickup and drop-off times, including evenings, early mornings, weekends, and holidays. Walks, yard time, and play run on your dog's schedule, not mine. I was a trader for a decade both in the US and Asia so too late / too early doesn’t exist to me :) Your dog stays in a quiet Cohasset home with a yard for play and potty breaks throughout the day + secure porch for sun bathing! My 5yr old golden retriever, Oscar, is gentle with humans, well- socialized, and great with other dogs (he LOVES everything and everyone) — happy to do a meet-and- greet before we confirm booking to make sure everyone's a good match, or not. I’m happy if you and your pet are comfortable, that’s it. I follow your feeding, medication, and exercise routine exactly as you'd do at home, send photo updates daily, and can crate if that's part of your dog's normal routine. Smoke-free and calm environment. We have endless routes for adventures (and swimming, if cleared by you)!

Madeline was great! Easy to work with and very attentive to our puppy’s needs. She showed up on time to an early sitter request and took great care of our dog. Our puppy even whined at the door when she left.

About: I have been dog/cat sitting off and on for many years. As an animal lover it’s a pleasure and a joy to be with pets! I’m a photographer and writer so I have freedom to make times work for both pet owner and me 🤗🐾 I have flexibility and can travel. I would only be sitting in clients homes. I am very respectful and understanding of how you treat your fur baby and I will take that lead!

About: Hi! I’m Ben, a genuine dog lover that goes above and beyond for all pets under my care. I’ve been called a “dog whisperer” by more than a few people because I naturally connect with dogs on a deep level, especially those who may be hesitant, skittish, or shy around others. Time and time again, those dogs seem to gravitate toward me, and earning their trust is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I value patience and consistency for these adorable, loving creatures and truly see them as members of the family, not just pets. I take my responsibility seriously and always research the ins and outs of every breed before pet sitting so I can provide thoughtful, customized care tailored to each dog’s specific needs and personality. I love meeting dogs at their energy level, whether that means lots of playtime, long walks, games, and exercise, or ensuring structured rest and calm downtime when that’s what they need most. I’m happy to learn about your training goals and reinforce behavior using positive reinforcement strategies so your dog feels supported, safe, and understood. I’ve worked with all types of dogs and a wide range of challenges, including food aggression, excessive barking, and very cautious or shy temperaments. I truly love all dogs and meet them where they are, with patience, empathy, and consistency. I also welcome any and all instructions you’d like to share. No list is too long when it comes to your valued family member, and I take pride in following routines closely so your dog feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to offer exceptional flexibility in scheduling that accommodates a variety of schedules and allows me the availability to best support you and your pet’s needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is ensuring comfort, consistency, and a stress-free experience. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll enjoy a fenced-in yard and plenty of fresh air, plus we live just blocks from the beach, perfect for dogs who love seaside walks and playtime. We also have a very friendly French bulldog who loves other dogs and provides great companionship, especially for shy or anxious pups who benefit from having a buddy. I’m always mindful that some dogs may feel out of their comfort zone at first, and I take great care to help them settle in gently. Many dogs who have stayed with us have quickly warmed up to our cozy home and routine. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m dedicated to keeping them on their normal routine to provide familiarity and reduce stress. I treat every home with the utmost respect, maintaining cleanliness, organization, and care as if it were my own. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I carefully review and follow all instructions to ensure consistency, comfort, and safety while you’re away. I also believe strongly in keeping you connected, so I send frequent photos and videos because I know how much it means to see your pet happy when you’re apart, even if it’s just for a few hours.

Julia was amazing and totally our vibe! 😊 She took such great care of Hudson and Daphne and was super communicative the whole time. It was clear the pups were happy and well cared for. She also went above and beyond around the house, which we really appreciated. We felt completely comfortable having her in our home and would absolutely use her again!

Abhay was absolutely amazing. On first contact, his enthusiasm to meet and greet both us an our animals was encouraging. We knew from first meet that we could be confident and comfortable leaving our babies and our home in his care for two weeks. We were not wrong. Everything went as planned and our babies and our home were cared for perfectly according to our requests. We would, without question, request his services again and highly recommend to others.

Patti was exceptionally good with our 2 dachshunds, senior cattle dog, indoor/outdoor cat and chickens. She went over and beyond in taking care of all the pets, filled the bided feeders, watered the plants and left our home cleaner than when she arrived. I recommend Patti highly and will definitely use her services again.
