Michaela is super reliable, and I really appreciated how effortless the whole process was from day one. I simply sent over the instructions, and she handled everything seamlessly from there. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands!

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family since 2020 and have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m very flexible, responsive, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and give them lots of attention and care! I’m very comfortable caring for pets in clients’ homes and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I’ve spent a lot of time dog sitting for friends and family and have always been a huge dog lover. I enjoy giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection while respecting their individual routines and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, reliability, and communication with owners. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I recently graduated and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I love animals and enjoy being active, so walks, playtime, and spending quality time with pets are something I genuinely look forward to.

Nicole took the time to really gauge what Cocoa wanted each day. Some days all she wants is to play or get belly rubs and others she wants a long walk around the neighborhood. She always sent a report on how Cocoa was and what they did and included great pictures of her playing or getting pets. I couldn't recommend Nicole enough!

About: I provide dependable, high-touch pet care with a strong focus on safety, structure, and communication. With years of experience caring for dogs through personal, family, and friend settings, I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, overnight stays, and keeping pets calm and happy in their normal routine. My hospitality management background means I bring a professional, service-first mindset to every booking, including timely updates and photo check-ins. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my weekly routine because I intentionally build my schedule around being dependable and on time. I’m very organized and make sure each booking has dedicated time for walks, feeding, play, and updates so every pet receives focused attention and consistency. My routine allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and flexible weekend availability. Safety, trust, and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, triggers, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every booking so I can keep their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all routines exactly as requested, including walks, feeding times, medications, crate use, and house rules. I always double-check doors, leashes, gates, and entry points to ensure pets remain secure at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, calm, pet-safe environment with plenty of supervision, fresh water, safe spaces to rest, and structured play and potty breaks. I avoid exposing pets to unsafe foods, objects, or stressful situations and make sure they are never left unattended in a way that could put them at risk. I also provide regular updates and photo check-ins so pet parents always know their pet is safe, happy, and receiving attentive care.

About: While I am new to these services professionally, I grew up with 4 small dogs (all at once!) and have lots of experience with senior and disabled dogs. Most comfortable with small to medium sized. Starting April 25th, I am completely free for services at almost any time of day! This is my free summer time as a student, but my schedule will change stating July when I begin work. I will update my calendar accordingly! I am always attentive to needs or concerns. I have a 650 sq ft apartment with plenty of parks and places for walking nearby. No crates, no other roommates but I stay home most of the day.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for all of my life, both through growing up with family dogs and helping care for pets belonging to friends and neighbors ☺️ Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities (from small energetic pups to large, gentle giants and everything in between). I’m comfortable with everything from walks, feeding, playtime overnight care, administering medication, and providing lots and lots of attention and affection. What I believe sets me apart is the flexible and tailored level of care and companionship I can provide. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present throughout the day and give dogs the attention they deserve! Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring the neighborhood, or simply curling on the couch for some company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. I’ve always loved being around dogs and I’ve dreamed of having one of my own as an adult. While I’m not in a place to have my own right now, caring for other people’s pets gives me the opportunity to share that love while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family!! As mentioned above, pet care fits really well into my routine because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule! Most of my meetings tend to be in the afternoons, but since I can work from anywhere, I’m happy to work from your home while caring for your dog. That means they can have company throughout the day instead of being left alone for long stretches. I naturally build walks, outdoor time, and movement into my day, so taking a dog out for fresh air, exercise is something I genuinely enjoy!! Whether your dog is high energy and loves adventure or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to the routine and make sure they feel comfortable safe and loved while you’re away 💓 When caring for pets in someone’s home or out and about, my goal is to keep the routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, house rules, and favorite routines. Safety is always my top priority whether at home or on a walk. I pay super close attention to my surroundings, keep dogs leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area, and make sure they have plenty of water, exercise, and attention. I’m also mindful of things like hot pavement, crowded areas, and anything else that could make a dog uncomfortable or unsafe. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big deal. I’ll treat your space with the same respect I would my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet is happy safe and well care for while you’re away!!

Amanda did an amazing job with my dog who is usually incredibly fearful of new people, and takes many meet ups to get comfortable with. Tini warmed up to Amanda immediately! She was so patient and is clearly natural at what she does. I can’t recommend Amanda enough and am excited to book her again for next week!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have been pet sitting, house sitting, and helping care for pets for about 8 years through high school and undergrad. My family always had multiple dogs ranging from tiny breeds to large dogs with very different personalities and needs, and I currently have a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. Also, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including puppies, senior pets, anxious animals, and pets who need medication or extra patience and attention. Two of our family dogs lived into their senior years and needed more involved care, and I’ve also cared for pets with anxiety and behavioral challenges, including a family dog who was prescribed medication and my own very shy and anxious cat. My aunt has owned a grooming shop for as long as I can remember, so I’ve spent years helping around and being comfortable with dogs of all kinds. What sets me apart is that I genuinely spend real time with the pets I care for. Even when owners tell me a quick check-in is okay, I usually stay longer to play, walk, or just keep them company because I really enjoy it. I’m very detail-oriented and good at following routines, and I know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I’m always happy to send updates and photos. I truly treat every animal like they’re my own. Growing up with dogs definitely spoiled me, and I honestly miss constantly having them around, so I happily take any excuse to spend time with them again! I currently work Monday through Wednesday and am unavailable during the day from 8 am–6 pm. Still, I’m available in the mornings and evenings on those days and have much more flexibility Thursday through Sunday. I offer drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting/overnight care, and I try to be as flexible and accommodating as possible with scheduling. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and find something that works best for both of you! I’m very detail-oriented, follow care instructions closely, and have experience with medications and anxious pets. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and well cared for. I’m completely comfortable with pet cameras as well and understand wanting that extra peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hey, I’m Xavier! I love animals, and I’m lucky enough to have a flexible job that allows me the time to care for your furry friends. I’ve always loved and cared for animals. It's truly second nature to me. My last dog was a beautiful brindle pitbull mix named Coco who had an unexpected stroke, which left her back legs paralyzed. For years I did everything from changing her diaper and daily walks to aquatics, specialized dog food, and homemade meals. I take the health of animals as a priority. Animals are like our children, and we treat every pet with the individualized care we would give our own, as they deserve. My home is cleaned by 100% ALL NATURAL ingredients, so your pets will be safe from harmful chemicals. I am very familiar with supporting health conditions such as muscular complications and ear infections, and we are 100% FLEA FREE! We both work from home and are available all day for your pets. Your pet will have all the attention and love that they need! From morning jogs to administering medication, we make a schedule pertaining to your dogs specific needs. We are respectful of your property and will follow any specific instructions if given.

About: I have many years of experience looking after dogs having taken care of my dog Lexy since we got her 12 years ago, along with helping out with my family’s two dogs in Jordan whenever I visit. Whether it is taking them out on walks, routine feedings and medicine, or just giving them attention and playing with them, I know what it takes to look after a pet. I am currently a student at Boston University and I have a schedule that would allow me to be with pets most of the time throughout that day. I can be around for feedings, walks, and just to give them the attention they need. I live in a spacious apartment near a park in an animal friendly building. I will be able to cater to pets needs as they come.

About: I have a dog and a cat and I have never met an animal I didn't get along with! I raised my dog from being a puppy and watched him grow into my senior boy! I also have experience living with and caring for a variety of dogs, all the way down to a tiny 6 pound dachshund. I also have plenty of cat experience and have cared for and lived with many of those as well :) I emphasise patience and respect. I typically work from 4-late so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend mid-day for a walk or home visit. For in home visits I will respect and adhere to any rules or specifications you lay out for your pet. For walks I will adhere to any specific route you would like us to take or area of the city you would like us to stay in.

If you’re looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter, Cynthia is the one! She helped me out when I was in a tight scheduling situation and was able to fit me in on short notice. Milo was a little grumpy at first because he hadn’t seen her in a while, but Cynthia was patient, understanding, and somehow won him over. She handled everything with care and professionalism. She even came back the next day to walk Milo for me, which I greatly appreciated. I am so grateful for Cynthia’s services and the peace of mind she provided. She is reliable, kind, and truly cares about the pets she works with. I will absolutely continue to use her services in the future. Highly recommend! 😘
