“Carlea was amazing!! She was always communicative but also low key. I felt confident the dogs were getting their needs met (and my dogs are my children.. so they’re a little extra needy). I appreciated all the pics and comments Carlea sent. She was very available to help. I just can’t say enough great things about her!”
“Aurore was excellent showed on time was so friendly to oir pooch treated her like a queen gave her plenty of yard time an made sure she was xomfortable before she left . She is gonna be our dog watcher for the future .”
“Daniel was really sweet with our high energy lab. He took Ziggy off our hands amidst the chaos of moving day and brought him home happy and tired, which made such a difference for us! We are happy to be moved into the area now and will definitely use Daniel again.”
“Smaller dog was being defensive first time meeting her (Cozy is cautious around new people). Sky was extremely patient with her and did a great job working with her. By the end of the walk, Cozy was bringing her toys to play with. Great job overall.”
“Anna is super sweet and very communicative! She helped out walking my dog very last minute which I so appreciate. Would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future :)”
“Rose was the best! Responded so quickly and was able to help me out last minute. My golden puppy, Theo, had a fantastic time on his walk. Highly recommend Rose, we will be reaching out again for sure!”
“Lily was great with my pup! He really loved spending time with her and was always excited when she came. She did a great job communicating! She made me feel completely comfortable with leaving my pup in her hands. Thanks Lily!!!”
About: I took care of dogs growing up, and now dogs are part of my family. My children have also grown up with dogs, helping with training, feeding, brushing, bathing, and playing with our dog. I am a middle school teacher who is home with my family during the summer. My 10 year old son and I are available to welcome your dog into our family life during the summer weeks and on weekends during the school year. We have a large yard with a stream and conservation land behind our house. We enjoy walks in the woods, running around and playing catch in the yard with dogs who stay with us. Inside dogs are allowed on the couch. We are home all day during the summer. We are excited to meet your dog and welcome them into our family life.
About: I am a HUGE animal lover! I grew up across the street from a dog breeder, so I grew up playing / interacting with new born puppies almost everyday. I also have three of my own dogs, which I have taken care of several times. And I have also taken care of bigger dogs, including a golden retriever and a black doodle. I love all dogs and can’t wait to meet more! I am going into my senior year at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. I would be available for overnight sitting / daily walks during the week and weekends! I love hanging out with pets on the couch, taking them for walks, or doing any other activities that they enjoy, such as hikes or running around the backyard!
“James was great with Taina! When we returned back home, Taina looked happy and well taken care of. James followed the instructions I left for Tiana’s feeding and gave her nice walks. I was always updates with various pictures and a narrative of how the visit and walk went. I will definitely use James again!”
About: I grew up in a home with two cats and two dogs and just adopted a sweet cat of my own! I’ve also lived for 2 years with a golden doodle (belonging to my roommate at the time) and my sister has two beautiful pit bulls and three cats that I love spending time with and taking care of. I have gone on runs with these dogs, watched them while their owners were away, and done my fair share of pet sitting for others as well. I have a high value of integrity and will be very responsible in taking care of your animals and your home. I truly delight in spending time with animals and have engaged with many different dogs and cats over the past ten years. I also work for a non-profit and have a somewhat flexible schedule.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.
About: Hi there! My name is Imani and I have a deep sense of love for all animals, especially dogs and cats :) I’ve been working alongside my girlfriend the past three years with dog walking/house sitting and after gaining so much experience and knowledge I decided to start my own profile. I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different breeds and sizes of dogs which gives me the confidence to handle any pup that comes my way! I’m extremely reliable and meticulous when it comes to my work and caring for my clients pets. My main focus is always safety, fun, and providing owners a sense of comfort while their pet is in the hands of someone they can trust. You can count on me to deliver the best job possible every time and give your pets the love and kindness they deserve. I look forward to connecting and working with you and your pets in the future! I currently have open availability and tons of time to give your pet the care and attention they need. I’m very flexible and and can always provide more care incase if an emergency/late flight etc. When providing any kind of pet care in a clients home I always make sure to be respectful of the space and follow instructions attentively. Trust is fundamentally important to me and I promise to follow any guidelines/instructions for your pet you and leave your home cleaner than when I found it.
About: With heaps of house sitting experience, I've taken care of them all from large to small, 3 months to 17 years. I have experience handling people and animal reactive dogs, as well as working to reinforce training. With plenty of patience and a willingness to pick up even the smelliest of loads, your fur baby will be in safe hands. I am a student and working part-time, so I have plenty of gaps in my schedule to run home, let the dogs out, and give them a little love if needed. I wake up early enough to fit in long morning walks to ensure we start off on the right paw. I'll follow any instructions to the letter to make sure the transition from family to dog sitter goes as smooth as possible for the critter. I encourage the all the play time and pets we can fit into the waking hours. If cuddles are called for, I'm always down to lay around.
About: Even since I was young, I was called on to look after my friends and neighbor's pets while they were away. I have lots of experience training in caring for or these furry friends. In more recent years I've incorporated animal therapy into my personal practice. I often travel for work. When I'm not traveling, I'm working remotely, with plenty of time to incorporate pet care. Perfect for in house sits! I often do in-house pet sitting for clients, taking care of the needs of my furry friends, keeping things tidy, watering plants if needed, and taking in mail.
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was able to walk them! I have two dogs, a medium and large breed and have cared for them in every way, walking, feeding, bathing, and of course giving plenty of love! Since going to college I’ve missed my time with my dogs and the opportunity to show such amazing animals all the love and care they deserve. I am a graduate student so I am very busy during the week. However on the weekends I have plenty of time to walk and take your of your dog! I am happy to care for your dog on your terms! I respect the many different ways people go about raising and caring for their dogs. For drop in visits I can let them out in the yard, take them for a walk via my own transportation or down the road, or just spend time with them!
About: I am a 19 year old student studying political science and fine arts at Tufts University, and I have spent my whole life caring for animals. I grew up taking care of chickens, dogs, and cats, and I learned so much from them. I would love to be able to spend more time with animals of all kinds before I head back to school in the fall. I am very capable and a quick learner if your pets need extra help! I'm off of school for the summer, so my weeks are pretty available. I have a lot of free time during the day and can stay overnight if your pets require it. I haven't gotten to go hiking as much as I hoped to this summer, so if you have pets who enjoy being outside I would love that! My dog is 15, so I've recently learned how to care for him as he loses some of his faculties. Both my parents are teachers, so I have been at home caring for him while they finish up the school year, so I have some valuable experience with older pets. To me, caring for pets means setting and upholding boundaries while maintaining a loving environment and being attentive to the pets needs.

“I highly recommend Chloe. She took care of our dog for six weeks while we were away, and she sent updates and photos during that time that assured us that our pup was well cared for.

I have no reservations about recommending Chloe…she’s a skilled animal person with a big heart.”
Shona M.

I know that they love her because they always greet her with enthusiasm and lots of dog kisses when they greet her at the door.”
