“I cannot recommend Ainsley enough!!! She came to hang out with Daisy ( our cavapoo) a few times leading up to her staying at our house. She is so sweet and so good with nervous puppies. I was so happy when we came home and saw how much Daisy loved being with Ainsley. We will definitely be booking with Ainsley again. Her communication with me while we were away was amazing I couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog.”


“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”


“Anastasia is a regular dog walker for us and recently stayed with our pup while we were away for the weekend. Our dog is clearly very comfortable with her and she always does a great job caring for him and paying attention to Ira’s need and idiosyncracies!”


“Wen took great care of our 2 year old dog Finn. She was communicative throughout the stay, treated our house with respect and sent lots of photos while we were away. She made sure to take him on long walks as well! Finn can be timid and nervous and first and she was very good with him. Thanks again!!”


“Meaghan has watched my puppy, Buck a few times now while I travel and she is great! Very reliable, responsible and considerate! I feel super comfortable leaving my guy with her and highly recommend booking with her!”


“We can’t say enough positive things about Volkan! Our dog Kiko spent 9 days with him, and she was the happiest we’ve seen her in our absence. Thank you so much for your care, dedication, and consistent communication. We’ll definitely be asking for your help in future!”


“Cynthia was amazing! This was the first time we got a sitter outside of friends and family. She was very professional and made sure our babies were taken care of and gave them a bunch of love. She was very communicative with us and sent us pictures daily of the fur babies! We also had an issue with our A/C while we were out of the country and she helped us to resolve it. Thank you Cynthia! <3”


“Megan house sat my pup Cairo during a holiday trip during Xmas time. She was great! Cairo was well taken care off, and Megan sent me regular updates, took him out for energy-burning activities that a 1 year old pup needs and always checking with me and ensuring his somewhat high maintenance needs were met :) It was my first experience with pet sitting and it was a super positive one. Thanks Megan!!”


“I can't say enough good things about my experience with Rachel! She recently watched my 10 year old dog, Penny, for a weekend while I was away. Penny doesn't typically do well with new people and has recently lost her vision so I was very nervous leaving her with someone new, but she absolutely loved Rachel. She sent photos and detailed updated everyday and it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands!”


“Emily was INCREDIBLE with my dog Mabel while I was gone for a weekend for a wedding. She stayed in my home, took such good care of my dog and my house, was so prompt with updates & pics, and then went above and beyond and left me a super detailed note about their time together & how much she loved her!! Truly haven’t had a dog sitter make me feel so comfortable leaving my girl with someone (crazy dog mom, hi!). Will 10/10 rebook Emily ◡̈”


“Emily was amazing with our dog Teddy! Her communication was great from the start and she was punctual and kind. She sent multiple photos and quickly put our minds at ease. We are so happy we have found a trustworthy sitter in the neighborhood and can’t wait to have her watch him again!”


“Paige was so great with my dog, Louie! She sent pictures throughout the weekend and kept me up to date on their various outings. I’d recommend Paige to anyone wanting a responsible sitter for their animals!”


“Andrew was amazing once again. This time he watched our two dogs for a week while we were away on our honeymoon. He sent amazing pics of our dogs daily, which we could tell they were so happy having a great time w Andrew! He was on top of all of our senior dogs serious medications, took the dogs on multiple long walks daily. We have the fi collars which track their daily steps and they exceeded their daily goal everyday! I will definitely be using Andrew again!”


“Elise was great! She came ahead of time for a meet and greet which was very smooth. Elise is really responsive to messages which made communication easy. We were able to relax knowing Elise was taking good care of our dog.”

“Jess is reliable and caring. I’ve had a hard time leaving my dogs but I feel comfortable with Jess and was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. The dogs were happy and my house was left in excellent shape!”


About: I am originally from Plymouth, now living in Boston. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. My family has owned 4 dogs (some more wild than others, LOL!) and my roommates and I currently own a sassy little black cat. I come from a caring home with good values, and I’ve been consistently trusted by friends, neighbors, and strangers to care for their pets and homes for years. Whether it’s walking dogs, feeding any and all pets, changing litter boxes, bringing in mail, and making sure everything stays clean and calm while they’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m comfortable with longer-term commitments and keeping up with pets’ daily routines, and I always treat homes with care and respect as I’d wish others to treat mine. Doesn’t matter if it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a tank of fish, I make sure every pet gets the attention they need to stay happy and relaxed. I currently work a loose 9-5, M-F. I work fully remote on Mondays and Fridays every week, and am completely free on weekends. I would love to fill my mornings and nights with some puppy love! I care for pets like they’re my own—sticking to their usual routines for walks, meals, and play. Whether I’m in your home or they’re in mine, I keep things clean, calm, and comfortable. I’ll always keep you updated with check-ins and photos for peace of mind.

“Maria was amazing! She came to watch our 4 month high energy puppy and did a great job. She arrived on time, took her outside, sent updates, and even cleaned up our puppy’s accident. We look forward to booking Maria again soon!”
