“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”

Kereen C.

“We are so grateful to Tianyue!! She is so lovely, and our puppy loves boarding at her place. She takes such good care of Kaju and he always comes back home happy. Thank you so much!”

“Dana and Nia were wonderful sitters for our 6 month old puppy. She was meant to stay with them for 5 days and go to a friend of mines house for the rest of my trip but she got sick on her first day with my friend. Dana and Nia happily took her back the next day and got her back to normal health. They knew exactly how to handle the situation and were very chill about it. Rosie had a great time with them, in their yard and on adventures outside of their house. 100% recommend Dana and Nia!”

“Jodi was great with Champ! She made him feel right at home and treated him like part of the family. Champ had dog friends to play with, went on walks, and got plenty of attention. It was clear he was happy and comfortable the entire time. Champ usually has a hard time staying with others, but Jodi made the experience easy and stress-free for him. I really appreciated the care and patience she showed. I will definitely be using Jodi again for my future travel plans. Highly recommend!”

Geneva C.

“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”

Beth A.

“Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs”

Colin F.

“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”

Jael O.

“Steven was great with our dog. We boarded her with him for a long weekend She is a nervous girl and often barks at new people. When I dropped her off he took her leash and her treats and immediately got her to sit and calm down. During her stay with Steven he sent us photos, which I appreciate. When I picked her up she was in good spirits and wagging her tail which is always a good sign. We will definitely be using Steven's services again.”

Wileama G.

“Ashley was very patient and understanding with our dog Harbor! She was communicative and sent us pictures everyday. Harbor usually takes time to warm up to someone, and she gave him space and made him feel comfortable. He had a great stay!”

Peteria C.

“Vanessa was great - our first time leaving our 8 year old terrier mix with her and we felt totally comfortable and at peace the whole time. From meeting Vanessa you can tell she’s extremely processional, knowledgeable, and compassionate; asking all the right questions to ensure the best stay for your pet and the easiest time away for you. She sent plenty of pictures and provided updates over the course of her stay. Our dog even shamelessly got right into bed and snuggled with Vanessa all night 😂 We will definitely reach out to Vanessa again!”

Bella P.

“Grigorii took the best care of my dog. He was communicative, friendly, and thorough in his care. My dog is timid after a recent attack and Grigorii was patient and able to get her to come out of her shell over a few days’ stay. His dog is a sweetheart too so I felt confident the pups would get along. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and I’d be disappointed if he wasn’t available next time I need a sitter!”

Anna T.

“Alyson was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates while watching my cat and it was clear he was having a great time. She asked questions and was super responsive - would definitely recommend booking with her and I will book again!”

Meghan M.

“Nancy was incredible!!! I felt so safe with her having my girl and she spoiled her. She kept me up to date and took amazing care of all of Petunias needs. I couldn’t be more grateful and will definitely use her again.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.

“Jason was great with our dog Calvin. It's always hard finding a new sitter (we just moved to Boston), but Jason was probably one of the best we've ever used on Rover. He communicated multiple times a day, sent photos of our buddy and asked questions when he had them. Calvin had a great time with Noah, his new bestie, and settled in much faster than he usually does. We know Calvin looks forward to his next stay with Noah, and so do we!”

“Nick took care of Jessie for six days and did an excellent job! We had peace of mind during our trip overseas and received a wonderful photo update about Jessies stay with her furry friends. When we leave Jessie with Nick we know that she is well taken care of. Nick always provides excellent care for our senior dog and is attentive to her needs. He comes highly recommended.”
