Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!

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, litter box and always provide fresh food! I currently work a full time job but typically free Monday anytime after 6:30pm, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday anytime before 2pm, and I am available anytime on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday. 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.

About: G’day! I’ve spent years working outdoors, from wildland firefighting to farm work where I raise abandonded lambs and work was alongside hardworking sheep and cattle dogs every day. On top of that, I’ve shared life with my long haired Chihuahua for 14 years (and counting), so I know what it means to give a dog patient, loving care through every stage of life. I bring a calm, kind, and reliable attitude to every pup I meet, whether it’s an energetic young dog needing a good walk or an older companion who just wants gentle company. I’m confident handling all sorts of breeds and temperaments, from big working dogs to small lap dogs, and I always make sure each animal feels safe and comfortable. Have A Cat? I'd love to meet your furry AND purry friends. What I Offer: Dog walking that’s tailored to your pup’s energy and needs Drop-ins or sitting with plenty of attention, play, and cuddles Experience with both working dogs and companion dogs A trustworthy and dependable presence, rain or shine Kitten care from bottle feeding to litter cleaning Do You Have Feathered Friends, Too?! Chickens, ducks, budgies, parrots and emu's. Flight or flightless I can cater to your pet needs. If you’re after someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals and treats them like part of the family, I’d be stoked to help care for yours. I recently moved to the Boston area to play rugby, but my love for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, I have time to fit walks, playtime, and attentive care into my daily and weekly routine, so pets feel happy, safe, and well-loved. I treat every animal like part of the family. I follow any routines or instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, giving them attention, companionship, and plenty of patience so they’re happy while you’re away.

About: I am a Paw-rent of a wonderful 12lb/6y.o. BostonTerrier-Chihuahua mix rescue. I grew up caring for dogs all my life and adopting my pooch has been fantastic. I want to make available to other dogs the care that I give to my own. His name is Cheech I am currently transitioning from work and figuring out my next step in life. At home all day and available for boarding other dogs during this transition. I live with my pooch and we live near the Neponset river, a great area to go for walks with active dogs If your dog is not active, am happy to cuddle on the couch as well. Let me know of special diet or medications your dog might require and I will follow instructions

Cynthia was wonderful! She kept us regularly updated on the pups and did an amazing job with our older, more antisocial dog. Her attention to detail and care really made a difference, and we felt completely at ease while away. We'll definitely be booking her again in the future.

Bridget was exceptional! I couldn’t find a better word to describe how great she was with our two Jack Russell’s who both have personalities larger themselves. Bridget checked in daily with us without us having to ask for photos or an update during an overnight for our week vacation. She also took the extra step and took care of our houses. We highly recommend Bridget for anyone looking for a sitter for their babies, she is incredibly trustworthy!

Eleanor was amazing while staying at our house for 5 days looking after our cat and dog. Both of them require daily meds and our dog is high energy and requires a good amount of exercise. So, not the easiest two to look after! But Eleanor did it with ease and they both looked so happy in the many daily pictures she sent. We’ll be using Eleanor as a sitter for all of our future needs!

Ariauna was so great with my rescue pup (who can be a little shy) and I could tell from all the pictures she sent that he really warmed up to her! She is very easy to communicate with and sent me updates that I greatly appreciated as it was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. She also left my apartment in much better shape than she found it! I am very happy with everything and I know my dog is excited to see her again next time :)
