“Chelsea is phenomenal! She was so great with our high energy pup and was super attentive to her needs, asked all the necessary questions during our initial meet and greet. I loved that our pets seemed to feel at ease with her. The visit photos were a treat. Thank you so much for your time and care, Chelsea!”



“I’m very happy that animal lovers like Eko and Sarah get to experience the joy that we often do with our dogs. Work requires a long commute for both my husband and I, and we worry about their need for potty breaks and being able to enjoy the day. I cannot express how truly grateful I am for their help in ensuring the well being of our dogs, our peace of mind, and the very modest rate they’re requesting to do so. While very relaxed in our request for help, Eko and Sarah were taking notes (literally) on what we hoped to achieve on their drop-ins, even exceeding requested times to ensure the welfare of our dogs. I thank them for this peace of mind, and I look forward to all the photos of future adventures they experience! (As my husband and I continue to work and “make that puppy food!”).”


“Nicole took great care of my pets while I was out of town. My maltipoo’s tail was wagging the first time he meet her. You can just tell that she loves animals. She is very reliable and sends pictures. I will happily be asking her to watch my pets again!”


“Erica was great to work with! It was so nice to know our fur babies were being cared for while we were out of town allowing us to relax and enjoy our vacation! The picture updates were comforting. Looking forward to booking Erica again!”


“Alison was great with communication and sent pictures and updates of our fur babies. This was the first time my husband and I have ever left our cats with a stranger but Alison made it easy. Definitely booking with her again when we go out of town next time!”


About: Hello! My name is Clara and I adore dogs. I grew up with 2 rambunctious boxers and was heavily involved in their puppy training and continued care. I now have the sweetest, little beagle mix of my own who is a gentle senior. She loves spending time with other dogs and so this is no barrier to accepting other dogs into my apartment! I am a medical student and also have abundant experience as a medical assistant and home health aid. Caring for others - whether dogs or humans - is my biggest passion and skill. I hope you give me the joy of caring for your dog! I’m a medical student so in general, drop in visits and walks work best for me on the weekends or at nighttime! However, I do have an ever changing schedule so please inquire for more information. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but am also happy to let them roam free if that is their preference. Your dog will always be leashed when I take them outside my apartment for walks. I love to take dogs out frequently (every 0-2 hours), so they get lots of outdoors time and stimulation! I also love playing games like tug of war. I truly have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to what your pet needs!

About: I have worked with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and much more. I have cared for cats and dogs for years, and I am a former Approved Veterinary Assistant (AVA) currently in the process of renewing my designation. I am available: Pet sitting - Saturday evening, Sunday and Monday (all day) Pet walking/Drop-In Visit: -Sunday and Monday (all day) -Tuesday thru Saturday 4:30pm - 9pm I am comfortable giving dogs/cats medications. My dog Foxy has anxiety, so she receives oral medication and a prescription diet (for her sensitive stomach), and I also have experience administering medications to dogs/cats in the vet clinic.

“I am very grateful to Kevin for watching our four dogs while we were out of town. He was very attentive and patient with all our questions. You could tell that the dogs felt very comfortable with him because of his kind, gentle nature. Thank you Kevin!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised my sweet Lab/Pit mix since she was just 6 weeks old, and I’ve helped care for many family pets—from energetic Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to strong, independent Huskies. I also share my home with a large, lovable yellow cat who’s been with me for the last 5 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether I’m stopping in to check on your furry friend or taking them out for a walk, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs (if they’re into that). Looking forward to meeting your pet soon! I am currently enrolled in grad school for social work. For this I am working a part time (unpaid) internship leaving me to find other ways of income until I graduate. I am very flexible but love consistency when it comes to responsibilities. I treat every home with the same care and respect I expect in my own. I’m mindful of your space, follow any specific instructions you provide, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. Your home and your pet’s comfort are my top priorities.

“Kali is amazing! She has been coming over to let our dog Indy out for the past two years! They are best friends and he is always so excited to see her and play. Very reliable and professional”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since childhood— primarily my high energy childhood dog who lived to 18 😇! I’m very used to the time and attention your high energy pet might need and have extensive experience with senior pets who may need special accommodations. I currently have two cats and have been a frequent pet sitter for both cats and dogs. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets!! I’m a graduate student who can typically accommodate a flexible schedule— including midday walks and drop-ins during the week with notice. Morning and evening walks/drop-ins easy to accommodate any day! I have two cats at home who have a very comfortable life and are frequently checked in on. When I am away I ensure someone is there multiple times a day to keep them company and make sure all is well at home. I am happy to do the same thing for your pets so that you can have the same peace of mind when you are away and know that your pet is cared for!

About: i’ve had a Shih Tzu for nine years. I had her since she was four months old and Home trained her myself. With her I’ve had experience in medication administration, walking, post surgery care, eye care, bathing. She’s currently staying with my parents since I moved, but even in the distance, I try to take care of her and her medical conditions. I’m home most of the time, just go to work mostly two times a week, so your pet won’t be left alone or ignored. I specialize in small dogs and cats who love a calm, loving environment and lots of one-on-one attention. I treat every animal with patience, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Whether your pet is shy, senior, or velcro, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they are in my care. In My Home: I offer a quiet, clean, and comfortable environment for small dogs and cats. I work from home, so pets are rarely alone and get plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I would stick closely to their routine to keep them feeling safe and happy. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to maintain their usual routine and environment as closely as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, give walks or playtime, administer medication if needed, and provide updates to keep you at ease. I treat your home and pet with the utmost respect and care — just like you would.

“Giana was amazing with my two cats. She did drop-ins while I was away and made sure to send photos and updates every visit. I really appreciated how easy she was to communicate with and how clearly she cared about the cats. She even stopped by for an extra visit when I got home later than expected, which meant a lot. I came back to happy, relaxed cats and felt totally at ease the whole time thanks to her. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently have a 7 year old golden retriever who might be the happiest dog in the world. I’d love to drop in and visit with and walk your dogs! My job is flexible and I work from home so if I can fit in a walk or visit for your pup I certainly will. My dog is spoiled with pets and love (and treats). I can accommodate your expectations for care. Whether it be a walk or feeding or just some good belly rubs.

About: Hi!! I have been taking care of animals almost all my life—I have a 16 year old dog that we adopted when he was 5, and he’s been my best friend ever since! I have been taking care of animals in my neighborhood for 8 years, and people rely on and are comfortable leaving me with their pets, knowing they are in good hands! I am studying at Wellesley College but I am home for the summer, so I am available to take care of your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends for drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. I will be very attentive and flexible to your dog’s needs, making sure they are as comfortable as possible. I also provide excellent communication, so you can rest assured that your dog is in good hands!

About: I have had pets my whole life, from dogs and cats to lizards and chickens, I have seen it all. I’ve had friends and family that trust me to care for their furry friends, whether it be a quick walk or long weekend. I will give the same care to your pet as I do my own. I’m currently working full time, however I do have a flexible schedule. I am available during the week and on weekends. My base schedule is Monday-Thursday and Saturdays at my full time position, however it’s flexible and I’d be happy to discuss more specific hours. I know the importance of keeping our furry friends safe and loved. I can easily walk, feed, crate, and play with them for some time.

“Lauren was fantastic! She provided thorough reports of her drop-in visits to me along with pictures. For various reasons, I would say her engagement and work far exceeded my expectations. I would 100% book her again in the future when the need arises. I cannot recommend her enough.”


About: I have cared for animals for 15+ years. I grew up with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I am currently studying veterinary nursing and plan on taking my certification exam in 2026. I am open to dog walking and check-in visits in Shrewsbury and neighboring towns. I have time during most days to check in on pets and provide the care they need, wether it be a walk or administering medication. The two dogs we have have access to most of the house, but with supervision. There is almost always someone at home during the day, though we have a camera set up for when the pups are alone. They both gets walks and playtime.

I personally know that Evelina has held jobs working with animals previously as well as studying Veterinary Medicine in high school so her love for all animals is evident and profound.

She’s attentive, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. My cats adore her, and that’s saying something because one of them doesn’t usually like anyone (lol). She’s also skilled at handling more challenging situations as when one of my cats was sick, she was able to give him his medication with no problem. I never have to worry when she’s looking after them, and I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust 100% with my pets. Highly recommend!”

She is always diligent, compassionate and cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I have also seen Danielle interact with her own dog and like many of us dog owners, she treats her dog as her child! Your dog would be lucky to spend time with Danielle!!”
