“Lauren is wonderful! She was responsive and made both our cat and dog, that can be anxious, feel very comfortable. The house was exactly how we left it and the animals were as happy as can be.”



“Nichole did an amazing job. She was excellent with communicating with me throughout her time. She took great care of my dog. I strongly recommend Nichole , and will 100% use her services again.”


“Maggie did a terrific job with our 5 mo. old Westie, Archie! She came at the last minute when our original sitter did not show up. She said she enjoyed meeting Archie and that he was always near her. She was patient with a feisty, semi house trained pup from Wed. afternoon till Friday a.m. She really accommodated us at the last minute so we could get away as planned. She sent us updates and photos and reassured us that though we were leaving Archie for the first time, he was well taken care of. We will ask her to be Archie's sitter again. Thank you, Maggie!”


“Jaclyn knows the many moods and temperaments of dogs. Under the extraordinary confusion of a major home renovation project, she was able to settle our rescued pup upon arrival. We appreciated her excellent questions, skill, patience and forthright approach to leading him towards full exercise, calm homecomings and lots of fun in between. Thank you, Jaclyn!”


“Jolene was a great, last minute find for house sitting and watching our two dogs. She gave us regular updates on their day and was super communicative. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we came home and the house looked like we never left! We feel so lucky to have found her and look forward to booking with her again soon!”



“We felt very lucky to have Catherine sitting with our dog, Daisy for 5 days! Daisy is particular and anxious and Catherine helped her get through in a very loving way. We received detailed daily check-ins and many sweet reassuring photos. We'd absolutely hire Catherine again!”


“Gabriel took great care of Wylie when I was away for 4-5 days last week. We easily scheduled our meet and greet ahead of time and Gabriel won my anxious guy over very quickly. During my trip, he was great at communicating arrivals, departures, and with sending updates and photos. Most importantly, Wylie was happy, relaxed, and very tired when I got home. In addition, Gabriel took great care of my place. Would definitely trust him to sit for Wylie again in the future!”


About: Ive had my own pets my entire life from puppies and kittens to older pets. I’ve pet sat dogs, cats, horses, chickens, etc., and would love to help out with your needs! I am a recent college grad that’s back in western mass for the summer with lots of time to fit in any pet sitting needs. I will care for pets when in others home with the most care and respect. Whether with a fenced in yard to play, on-leash walking, crate-training, etc i can work with whatever you’ve got.

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.

“Anna was such a great sitter for my dog Stick. I was away with little to no cell service, yet Anna still left me multiple messages and photos letting me know how everything was going. Anna also made sure that everything she needed from me in regards to caring for Stick was taken care of before I left. This made me feel very confident in her abilities to care for my little guy. I would highly recommended.”


“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”


“Colin was amazing and took very good care of our dogs over a weekend while we were out of town. He was very detailed in capturing all the information about our dogs during his first visit before we left. He captured thorough notes and asked lots of questions while getting to know the dogs and took the time to meet them and walk them multiple times before we left. While we were gone, he kept us updated every day, even if it was just a "they are doing great" text and a picture. Colin is very responsive and we will definitely be asking him to watch our dogs again!”


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.

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.
