“Carlea is amazing! My two cats connected with her instantly giving me peace of mind during my travels! I will use her to take care of the cats over and over as long as she is available!! Thank you so much!”
“Aurore was excellent. Great communication, prompt and a true professional. My dogs loved her and I was very comfortable knowing that she was taking good care of my babies. Highly recommended! I will be calling her again for when I am away. 😊”
“Grace did a phenomenal job and we couldn't be more pleased with her care and service. She fed our two cats separately and got our shy kitty to not only eat while she was there, but to even play with the cat dancer, which really showed both cats were relaxed and happy. Grace is thoughtful and a great communicator, too. We'd hire her again and so should you!”
“Jessica is a stellar pet sitter! She was available for a last minute booking- worked with my kittie’s schedule and even gave them a little extra time when she was able to (since we had some short visit days). I wholeheartedly recommend her to care for your furry loves and home :)”
“Catherine did a wonderful job watching over our tiny menagerie. She spent lots of extra playing with our cats. It was great to know she was here while we were away.”
“Lily was absolutely amazing! She took care of my two cats, Dice and Button, while I was away on vacation and truly went above and beyond. From the very first visit, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly caring. She made sure both cats were well-fed, safe, and happy, and even spent extra time giving them attention and affection. Dice is usually shy, but under Lily’s care, he quickly warmed up and started following her around, which says a lot about how comfortable she made them feel. She also kept me updated every day with sweet notes and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I came back to happy, well-cared-for cats and a tidy home. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Lily! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and dedicated pet sitter.”

About: Hi there!

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!

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!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life. In my home growing up I had two big dogs and a cat. I cared for neighbors animals often whenever they traveled. I’m adept in training dogs and dog behavior. After moving from home I dearly missed my animals and started to volunteer at a rescue center near me five times a week. I’m currently in graduate school online, studying to be an elementary school teacher! I’m doing practical work at schools nearby part time. But ever since moving out of my home I miss the pet life. I volunteer often at a rescue shelter near me! Often I take dogs home for an enrichment vacation from the shelter! Taking care of dogs is something I make time for, because it’s something I genuinely love and enjoy. I have no pets myself so I offer a comfortable quiet environment for your beloved fur baby! I have a lovely yard just waiting for sniffs. It’s not fenced in but is surround by woods and I plan to fence eventually. There are also so many wonderful walking paths near me.
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: I’ve taken care of different kinds of animals since I was 12! I have two cats and two dogs of my own and have taken care of the animals of my friends and family reliably for years. I love all animals and have even taken care of chameleons, lizards, and ducks! I’m a college student home for the summer so I have a lot of availability for your animals! I can do both housesitting and drop in visits, and would be happy to spend time with your animals on weekends or weekdays! When watching animals, I am always sure to clarify all of their needs and schedules! I have experience in giving both cats and dogs medications, and would be happy to learn the specifications of your animals!
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.
