“Such a wonderful and caring place to leave your fur babies. 🥰 Mrs. Donna and her husband will take good care of your babies while you are away. They will be treated just like family! Five stars and then some! Definitely recommend!!!❤️❤️❤️”
“Steven has taken great care of our dogs on a few separate occasions now. He sends daily photos and updates which our family loves to see when we are away. We are thankful to have found him!”
“My husband and I both travel for work. Sometimes it's difficult to plan ahead for a dog sitter. Shame was AMAZING with working with our schedules and crazy hours. She even allowed us to extend our dogs' stay in story notice with no hesitation. The dogs were well taken care of and she kept in touch with us the entire time to let us know how they were doing. We will ONLY try to book with Shume from now on!”
“Kelsey and her family were so great watching our dog during our extended vacation! Our dog came home happy and exhausted! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures. They also promptly dropped off and picked up our dog to the minute they said they would. Would definitely trust and leave our dog with Kelsey again!”
“Very satisfied, sitter provided photos and updates of my pet during his stay. He looked like he enjoyed himself and was very well taken care of. Will use Ms. Colleen in the future.”
“Brett was fantastic with our pet. He kept him healthy, happy, and safe. He sent us updates and was quick to respond when we messaged him. We will definitely use him again with the situation arises.”
“We were so lucky to have found Melanie and Stella. Our Zoey is nearly 17 and has some health issues. Melanie provided excellent care and sent daily updates while we were on travel. Zoey and Stella got along well. We will definitely try to book again with Melanie in the future.”
“Lots of photos of my Handsome Fluffers while we were gone. He smelled great when we picked him up as well. He had lost weight while we were gone but that was no fault of the boarder our guy has anxiety and won’t eat much when he’s separated.”
“Dalis was wonderful! Our trip was unexpectedly delayed by two days and Dalis was very accommodating. It was so great not having to stress about our dog being well taken care of as we scrambled to get home.”
“Amber was a sweet, patient and caring sitter for our senior dog with lots of special needs. She cared for Ellie as if she was her own and was happy to accommodate all of Ellie's needs. Amber kept us updated on how she was doing through out the stay. We would definitely use Amber again as it was clear Ellie was comfortable there.”
“Laura is a rockstar! She was so kind with our Cali, sent daily updates and responded promptly. You can 100% trust that when you leave your pet with her, she will take the greatest care. Would give 6/5!”
“Sean and Dianna were great with Finn! He was a happy boy and was well cared for during his stay! Thank you for sending updates and pictures! He was a sad puppy when he didn’t have the girls to play with anymore! Thank you ! Highly recommend and would definitely love to have you keep him next time! This is a great loving environment for your fury babies when your gone!!”
“Deborah was beyond phenomenal. I received multiple pictures and detailed updates every day my sweet Elle was away from home. I felt so relieved and there was no stress at all with Elle in her care. She is attentive to my dog and her dogs playing and is very consistent with commands when feeding and playing. She even brought the pups inside for rest breaks so they wouldn’t overheat. I will book every time I can with Deborah. 6 out of 5 stars.”
“I highly recommend Mollie! She was absolutely phenomenal with Hazel and regularly provided updates and photos. Knowing my dog was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. She will be perfect for any of your pup’s needs!”
“Aram kept my dog for a full day and overnight stay, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such great care of my boy and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos, videos, and frequent messages. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Aram has a beautiful home with a huge backyard that my dog absolutely loved. He clearly had an amazing time! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, Aram is the best there is! You will not be disappointed. She is officially my go-to dog sitter from now on! Thank you so much, Aram, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! ❤️🐾”
“My dog was a bit nervous at first when meeting her dogs, but they soon relaxed and enjoying playing in the yard together. I’m happy that my pup had the chance to cuddle and have some high speed zoomies while I was away!”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Somerville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Somerville.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Somerville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.
