“Fitz really loves spending time with David. When I dropped him off, his tail wagged so hard and he nearly leapt out of the car to see him. David is always communicative and kind. We are so grateful for him!”
“Edward and Shyana took the best care of my dog Nash while I had to work. Nash got some great walks and lots of pets from them. Edward and Shyana are incredibly kind and I’m so grateful to have found people like them to look after my pup. It put me at ease all day knowing my dog was in their care!”
“Emma was great with our 12 year old cockapoo. She was communicative, on time, and sent lots of pictures. Quincy loved his time with her and we'll be using her again!”
“Sandra went above and beyond to make both me and Koda feel so comfortable. She was communicative, reliable, and caring. I could tell Koda loved her and had an amazing time. I was so impressed with Sandra and will absolutely be reaching out to her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of and trained many puppies/dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 6 years old and am now a pup parent to my own 4 month old mini dachshund. I’ve had terriers, Rottweilers, goldens, Dalmatians, dachshunds etc. and know the kind of specific care and love needed for each breed. These babies have their own little souls and I’d love to help out any loving pet parents and reduce any stress or fear you may have when leaving them in the care of someone else. I’m super active on my phone and work from home so am available on demand and ready with pictures and updates for peace of mind. Looking forward to working together soon and meeting you furry family members! I work from home and have my own puppy so I’m available almost 24/7 for walks and potty time before, after, and during work hours and on weekends. I live in a high end apartment with lots of doggy amenities including many green spaces and fenced play areas for lots of potty breaks and long walks. I have my own small friendly pup who can keep yours company and tire them out as well as have crates and gates available, lots of toys, and ramps for the smaller dogs to save their backs!
“Cannot put into words how great she is! So easy to communicate with, she sent so many pictures throughout the day - which I loved. Bean got so much play time and became best friends with her pup!”
“Tracy was amazing and my dog had the best day. He loves to sleep and snuggle and had a calm, restful day which is just what he needed. I take him to doggy daycare too and it wipes him out so it was amazing to find someone who works remotely who could give him 1:1 time, relax and play.”
“Anya is super attentive and responsive. She sent regular updates and took great care of our pup, who loved staying with her. We are so excited to book her again in the future!”
“Dayna & team are the best and I couldn't do my job without them. Thank you for making Southie finally feel like home and caring for my little Dutchess as if she were your own - she adores Louis and loves coming over to play!”
“Bridget is an amazing sitter! We immediately rebooked her twice after our first experience. She took great care of our puppy and is both professional and communicative.”
“Jim is extremely responsive and flexible and made me feel at ease. My dog primarily has spent every day with me during the pandemic so it is sometimes hard when we separate. He kept me updated with my dog’s day and sent a video for check-in. Thanks Jim!”
“I never had my dog stay at someone’s apartment before and I was really nervous. Zoe made me feel so reassured and sent me so many updates with photos and videos and waffles had so much fun. I especially liked that her apartment had a fenced in dog park and washing station. I am so happy I found Zoe and will never use another pet sitter! Thanks again Zoe.”
About: I had a Labrador for 14 wonderful years, so I know how much love and care dogs need. For the past two years, I’ve cared for my sister-in-law’s German Shorthaired Pointer every other weekend. I also have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I love spending time outside with dogs—walking, running, and even taking camping trips outside Boston. Your dog will stay active, happy, and loved! I work remotely two days a week and always make sure I am home when sitting dogs. During the day, I’ll take your dog on at least one long walk (more than an hour) and as many shorter walks as required/desired. If it’s the weekend, I usually head to a nearby park for a longer hike to keep them happy and active! I live on the first floor, but I am happy to carry your dog upstairs if needed. My home is around 1,000 sq. ft., and it’s just the me and my husband—plenty of space for your dog to relax. I’ll stick to your schedule for meals and exercise to keep everything just right for them!
About: Years of experience administering animal therapy for kids in need have taught me how truly special animals are! In addition to my volunteering, I myself, grew up with several dogs. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way to my last pup who I got to spend 16 years with. I understand each dog has its own personality, needs, and necessary care. I will do whatever I can to make your dog feel safe, comfortable and happy. I work from home full-time, have a flexible job schedule, along with a dog park in my building—allowing for frequent attention to your dogs needs. Additionally, I am close to green space and bigger dog parks for our more active furry friends. Also, I am very active myself should your dog need longer walks throughout the day. I am laid back in terms of my space, also my building has a fenced in dog bark—with sectioned off space for our more timid pups! I have a porch where dogs like to sun bathe during the day and I’m happy to use a crate-though it’s not necessary, if you want.
About: Raised with rescue dogs, I know that every dog has a story. I’m patient, understanding, and always ready to provide individualized care and affection for your dog. I can provide basic training, manage special diets or medications, or anything else to adapt to what your dog needs. Since I work from home full-time, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the entire day. Whether your dog stays with me or I come to you, I make sure they feel right at home. I will make sure they stay on their routine, get in some playtime/chill time, and lots of belly rubs!
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Nolan was with my puppy Tater. I work pretty long days and Nolan happily took my boy several days a week for 9-10 hours for $25 a day. A DAY!!! And he did it with pleasure. And he’s doing it again. And he’d probably pay ME instead... That’s how kind and flexible we’re talking. Nolan is officially my go-to person for puppy care and I couldn’t be more psyched to have connected with him. It should also be noted that there is a really awesome community of Tufts students on here who know each other and help one another out with scheduling. Nolan is one of several friends that I’ve been able to rely on and it’s definitely an added bonus to know there’s a circle of people willing to communicate and work together to get people like myself the care we’re looking for. Thank you so so much Nolan!”

Gillian R.
“Gillian is an extreme animal lover. Her entire life has loved horses, dogs, cats, any animal you can think of, she even had 11 toads at one point. Additionally she has recently gotten a dog, a small doxin believe is the breed and in the 21 years I've known her I don't think I've ever seen a person have more maternal instincts over a dog. She recently came to visit me for a weekend and left her dog with her boyfriend and needed constant updates on training, cute pictures and even had facetime calls to see the dog. I honestly don't think there is anything she wouldn't do for her new puppy. Personally seeing how she treats her own dog and her relationship with animals in the past there isn't anyone I would trust more to take care of a furry family member.”
