About: I’ve been caring for pets of all energy levels and ages for over 10 years, ranging from energetic puppies to anxious seniors. I’ve had my own dogs for 15 years, and I love spending time with all pets whenever I get the chance! I’m also happy to care for cats and/or exotic pets. If you're looking for an attentive, reliable, and gentle pet sitter, I'm your person! My current availability is flexible for the summer months. I work as a French teacher during the school year in VT, but I will be in the Boston area from June 30 to July 17, and from July 27 to August 9. I’m not able to keep animals in my own home, but I am more than happy to stay in your home overnight to keep your pets comfortable.
“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!”

“Maria was an excellent caretaker of my senior dogs and a wonderful house guest. My dogs are seniors and can be particular, and Maria handled them so well. She was attuned to how they were feeling and asked questions when needed. I loved getting all the updates from her while I was on vacation. And to top off a great sit, Maria had a very light footprint while staying with my dogs. My apartment was just as I left it and everything was well cared for.”
“Ally was great! We felt extremely happy and comfortable leaving our 2 pups with her. We got a ton of long walks in and we always got pictures and updates! Would highly recommend her!”
