“Victoria (Rev) did a fantastic job and I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. She was easy to communicate with prior to & during her stay and sent frequent updates and pictures of the pups. She stayed in my home & left it very clean- She even took out the trash which I didn’t expect her to do annd appreciated. My pups are kind of high maintenance (2 Maltese) & Rev did a fantastic job taking care of them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”
“Belen was a wonderful sitter for our 80 lb German Shepherd puppy. She’s personable and has a kind and calm personality - perfect for our energetic guy. We highly recommend Belen and will book her the next time we visit Boston.”
“Our second time having Isis watch our dog while we were on vacation: she is really wonderful. Lots of updates and photos while we were gone, and we returned to a tidy house and happy dog. We highly recommend her!”
“Kristina did a great job housesitting and taking care of my senior dog. She gave me real peace of mind. My dog can be both timid and stubborn and Kristina had a lot of patience with her. Within a few hours my dog was trusting of her which was a great sign. Kristina went above and beyond caring for my dog including the precautions we take with her mobility issues. Kristina provided tons of timely communication with texts and photos. She left my home clean. I’d recommend Kristina to anyone who’s nervous about leaving their dog with a sitter.”
“Ainsley, was great with my fur baby amazing , sent me updates and pictures did more then what was asked went above and beyond for my big baby I am very appreciative of her and would most definitely book her again and highly recommend.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Ailise! She helped me out last minute this weekend, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment we connected, she was responsive, kind, and genuinely caring with my dogs. It was such a relief knowing my pups was in great hands while I was away. Ailise went above and beyond with updates, photos, attention to detail, and making sure my dogs felt loved the whole time. You can truly tell she cares about animals and treat them like family. I came home to happy, relaxed dogs and I’m so grateful for the care and flexibility she provided on short notice. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog sitter!”

About: I have been a pet sitter for a couple years! Also, I have volunteered and interned at a veterinary hospital these experiences helped me become more informed on pet care. My main priority is providing your pet with the best care!! I will clean water bowl, provide fresh food and any further needs . I currently work a full time job but typically free Monday anytime before 8am and then again after 6:30pm, Tuesday and Thursday anytime from 9-11:30am and then again after 4pm, Wednesday, and Friday anytime from 7-1:30pm. For Saturday anytime in the day works for me and for Sunday anytime before 6am and then again at 3:30pm. My main priority is comfort making sure you are comfortable with entrusting your pet in my care and making sure your pet is comfortable with me. I will do this by allowing the pet to become familiar with me so they aren’t scared and providing treats as well as playful sessions to get them comfortable.
“Belkis is fantastic! We were so grateful to find her last minute! She was incredibly helpful, reliable, and took such great care of our pup while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals, and we’d absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Brooke took care of my puppy for a few hours at night. Lots of communication on how it was going and sent cute pictures. We came back to him sleeping peacefully. Would definitely have Brooke pet sit again!”
“Rachel took great care of our dog while we were away for a 10 day trip. She helped us with some training we were working on, made special trips with him to spend time off leash and with other dogs and kept us posted each day. She also took great care of our house and even washed the sheets and remade the bed for us!!”
“Jordan is awesome! Would highly recommend booking with Jordan for your pets. Cheese loved hanging out with him! He was communicative and responsive, sending us daily pictures and videos of our girls. We felt like they were in safe hands while we were away. Thank you, Jordan!”

I had a wonderful experience with Victoria (Rev). We recently moved to Boston and Rev stayed in my apartment with Charlie for 5 nights, which is the longest I have had to leave him since moving. Charlie is older and has been a little anxious while adjusting to our move and it was clear that Rev gave him the love and attention he needed to keep him calm while I was away. Rev sent regular updates and photos, which helped keep my mind at ease. My flight was delayed and Rev was super accommodating to stick around until I got home. I would absolutely recommend Rev to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and truly exceptional dog sitter. We look forward to working with Rev in the future!
Katherine was a rockstar from start to finish. We just moved to the area, and so we had to find a new sitter for our cat, Moose. Moose absolutely loved Katherine and warmed up to her within minutes. He was playing with her on day 1, and it took prior sitters multiple visits before he even thought of touching a toy. Katherine gave multiple photo and video updates during her visit, and was super communicative of any issues. She stayed overnight and treated our home as her own. We will definitely be asking her to sit for Moose again!
Dani was awesome with our rambunctious pup! Sammie is a big lab puppy who's still learning the rules, and Dani was very skilled, patient, and made sure to give her lots of exercise. She was communicative and took great care of the house. We'll definitely use her again!
Tommy did an excellent job keeping our elderly dog happy, safe, healthy, and loved while we were gone. I had a lot of anxiety leaving the dog behind this vacation, but Tommy did a great job putting my mind at ease. He left the house in great shape and communicated daily throughout the stay. Tommy will be our first choice next time we need a sitter!
Stacy was a pleasure to work with! She spent so much time with me during the meet and greet, making sure she understood the needs of my two Bengal boys. She did a great job taking care of them while I was away. One of the boys had just had an injury before I left and she was so attentive, making sure I got pictures of the wound to make sure everything was ok. She was great at sending pics in general, which was wonderful. Highly recommend Stacy!! I've already booked with her again :)
She was great as a sitter and made me feel very comfortable leaving my 4 year old Lab. I came home to a happy and healthy pup and a clean apartment! She even took my dog on fun trips to the Boston Commons and sent pics and videos of their outings. Would highly recommend =)
Devon was wonderful!! We met in advance for her to meet my dog and Luna loved her instantly. She sent me pictures every day of the fun adventures they were on or of them just snuggling on the couch. She stayed at my home with Luna and everything was left clean and organized when I returned. I didn’t have to worry about Luna at all while I was on vacation. Thanks, Devon! Would definitely recommend and use again.
Communication is such a critical element of a successful “sitting” and Leo’s approach is a prime example of a five-star experience. Leo watched my “fur babies” overnight. There was never a time that I wondered how things were going, and if Leo had a question or observation to share, he was quick to reach out. I highly recommend Leo - in fact we have already booked him again!
